[ENGLISH VERSION] Symphony Del Martin came from a prominent family that gives her everything she needs, but not the freedom she has always wanted. Being the only daughter of their province's well-known politician, she knows that every mistake she makes is equivalent to a consequence she might suffer later on. Her peaceful life turned upside-down when she accidentally got pregnant with her ex-boyfriend's cousin, Wesley. To avoid controversy, her father sent her out of the country. After four years of living with her consequences, she went back to the Philippines as a successful, renowned painter. Dealing with her father's condition, she agreed to marry Wesley, who was now the CEO of his family's losing company, never knowing the consequence that awaits her.

It's about a two-hour drive, so Melody is currently sleeping soundly on my lap, while Wesley is the one driving.We were just silent. No one was talking. The atmosphere felt tense and awkward. I tried to occupy myself by watching the beautiful view outside. We passed by plains filled with rice fields, corn, and various crops. The scenery was refreshing to the eyes, but Wesley's presence spoiled it. I couldn't fully appreciate the beautiful sights because of him.I heard him clear his throat. From the corner of my eye, I saw him glance at me through the rearview mirror. I ignored him and kept my gaze fixed outside. He didn't speak either, so I let it be. It was a good thing. His silence throughout the trip allowed me to breathe properly.After a few more minutes, Melody wo
16: When Love Returns Pt.1SYMPHONYThe faint smell of alcohol and medicine lingered in my nostrils as I slowly opened my eyes. I groaned as I felt the pain all over my body when I attempted to move a bit. When I finally saw the entirety of the room, that's when I realized I was in the hospital. My eyes still felt heavy, as did my entire body."Damn!" I hissed when I couldn't even move without feeling the pain in my back. It was torturous."Finally, you're awake." I flinched upon hearing that voice. I followed its source with my gaze. And there, I saw the devil sitting like a boss on the small couch in the corner.I remained silent. As much as I wanted to speak, my throat felt so dry that I couldn't find my voice.He straightened himself and crossed his arms. "I have to go. I'll just tell the nurse that you're awake."I watched him walk out the door. I sighed and rolled my eyes. I hoped he wouldn't come back.After a while, the nurse entered my room. She checked my vitals and asked ho
15: Love is Not Dead Pt.3"May I know your name, hijo?" Governor Del Martin asked before I could fully sit down."Reagan Dwight Guzman, Governor," I replied. I was on my way home from school when one of his bodyguards picked me up and informed me that Symphony's father wanted to talk to me, so I accepted the invitation."I was told that you're in a relationship with my daughter. Is that true?"I took a deep breath before respectfully answering, "Yes, Sir. We are in a relationship."He took off his glasses and leaned back. He rested on his chair and looked at me again. I maintained a straight posture on the sofa. I didn't know if I was nervous because I was facing the governor of our province or because it was the first time I was talking to my girlfriend's father."How long have you been together?""It's more than a year, Sir."He nodded and clasped his hands, resting his elbows on the armrest of his chair. "You know what responsibilities my daughter has, don't you?"I remained silent
15: Love is Not Dead Pt.2RED"Why don't you focus more on your studies, Reagan? Why do you prioritize playing music over studying diligently?" My mother lectured me while I kept my head down. I wanted to explain to her that music was an integral part of my life. That it wouldn't leave my system, but I didn't want her to get even angrier with me. I didn't want her to be mad at me."Didn't I tell you that you need to study hard? You need to finish your education. You need to become a professional engineer so that your father's new family won't look down on us anymore. Reagan, do you understand me, son?"I clenched my hands when I heard her mention my father. I knew that she wanted me to finish my studies and become a professional just to prove to my father that she could provide for me good education even though he left us for his new family.It hadn't been easy for my mother to support my education up to college. Ever since my father left, my mother had worked tirelessly just to provi
15: Love Is Not Dead Pt.1I was just staring at them with wide eyes. For the second time, I witnessed how Wesley and Red nearly killing each other. But this time, it was different. It was as if they really wanted to kill each other. No one was talking. They were just aiming to hit each other's faces with powerful punches.In fear that they might end up dying right in front of me, I quickly approached them and forcefully pulled Wesley away from Red, whose face was now covered in blood."Wesley! Wesley, stop! Leave Red alone!" I screamed in horror as his fist once again landed on Red's face. "Wesley, what are you doing?!" I turned to Wesley's companionsmen, who were just watching them like it was a show. What the fuck are they doing? "What?! Are you really going to let them kill each other here?" I shouted at them. They all turned to the biggest guy among them. I saw him nod at them, which prompted the others to move and stop the two from fighting.Even after they were separated, both o
14: Caged Pt.3I opened my eyes, only to be greeted by complete darkness. I immediately panicked. I sat up abruptly and strained to see my surroundings. I let out a sigh of relief when I realized that I was in my own room.I stood up and headed towards the light switch. As the room brightened, I quickly scanned my surroundings. The wall clock indicated that it was ten minutes to 4 am. I sighed. What happened to me?I tried to recall what had happened earlier, but I couldn't remember. I winced as I felt the pain at the back of my head. Oh, right. I got this when my head hit the wall after Wesley pushed me onto the sofa.The sudden thought of Wesley made me remember exactly what had happened last night. I quickly left the room and looked downstairs. I groaned when I saw numerous men guarding the house. They were stationed in almost every corner. He's really serious about keeping me here, huh?I glanced at Wesley's room. I walked slowly towards it, examining if he was there. When I turne
14: Caged Pt.2People envy me simply because I am a Del Martin. They say that the name given to me fits me so well, as they all believe that I am living a harmonious life. Just because I am the daughter of Gregorio Del Martin, they think I am enjoying a life free from all the difficulties in the world. But little did they know that my name was the complete opposite of the life that I have.Symphony Del Martin...Carrying that name, made me live a life that is full of agony, discomfort, and misfortune. My life is a shattered melody... It is extremely chaotic.I stared at him and tried to match the intensity of his gaze. I'm tired of always losing. I'm tired of being pitiful. I let him hurt me before because I didn't want to shatter Melody's belief that we were a happy family. I didn't want to hurt my child. But now that she's gone, taken away from me by her demonic father, I need to defend myself.With all my strength, I gave him a hard slap. I made sure to exert enough force that it c
14: Caged Pt.1SYMPHONYIt felt like I suddenly went deaf because of what he said. My brain tried to process what I heard, and I found myself struggling to catch my breath. "W-What?" Amidst the chaos in my mind, those were the only words that came out of my mouth."I know you heard it clearly, Symphony," he hissed.I suddenly became alarmed as I fully realized the meaning behind his words."N-No... Melody will stay with me, Wesley! You have no right to make decisions for my daughter!" I started to get hysterical. The thought of my daughter living away from me was driving me to the brink of insanity. "It's not possible, Wesley! I am Melody's mother. I have more rights to my child! I am the one who gave birth to her and raised her! What gives you the right to make arbitrary decisions?!"I slapped his shoulder multiple times. I tried pushing him away from me. I needed to get out of here. I needed to go and get Melody from Wesley's mother. There's no way I would let them take away my daug
13: Story’s Other Side Pt.3WESLEY4 YEARS AGO..."For fuck's sake, Wesley! We're about to get married, right? Everything is ready, isn't it? But why is it like this? W-Why?"My whole system feels numb, not because of the hard slaps and punches she threw at me, but because of the thought that I had hurt her. That I am the fucking reason for her tears... and that I am breaking her. Charitee's continuous sobs, lingering in my ears, are the most painful sounds I have ever heard in my entire life."Charitee... b-babe..." I tried reaching for her hands, but she took a step backward. It was as if I was some kind of disgusting thing she wanted to avoid. It's fucking painful! "Babe, I'm sorry. That was just a mistake. It wasn't my intention. Cheating with another woman is the last thing I would do to you--""But you did it! You got her pregnant, didn't you? Tell me, Wesley, why? Why did you do that? B-Because she's more beautiful? Because she's from a wealthy family? While I grew up in an orp
I closed my eyes tightly as he threw the picture frame he was holding at me. I'm grateful that it only hit my shoulder and not my face. As I lowered my gaze to the frame, a pang of pain shot through my heart. That was our family picture... now shattered. "How many times have I told you that I don't want you going out?! Can't you understand? Are you really that stupid, Symphony?" I bowed my head and remained silent. It's not that I'm guilty, but because I'm already tired. I'm tired of proving him wrong. I’m tired of always arguing with him. He always thought that every time I go out, I'm always seeing his cousin, which is not true. But I'm tired of explaining myself. It's exhausting to keep up with his anger. How many times have I tried to fix this family? I know I made mistakes, but I tried to fix everything after realizing the things I've done. I apologized... more than a hundred times already. But this man in front of me doesn't know how to listen. He loathes me to death, and
