MasukLiliana’s Point of ViewIt had been a week since I arrived in Switzerland, and just like the first day, nothing about the way they treated me had changed. If anything, they had grown even warmer, even more welcoming, as if I had always belonged here.I had slowly settled into their routine. I helped with the household chores whenever I could, insisting on doing my part despite their constant reminders that I didn’t have to. Today, I was outside in the garden, watering the plants lined neatly along the pathways.The air was still cold, but not as harsh as before. Winter had just passed, and signs of spring were beginning to show. Flowers of different colors had started to bloom, their petals soft and vibrant against the pale surroundings. I found myself smiling as I moved from one plant to another, carefully pouring water into the soil.It was peaceful.For once, my mind felt quiet.I glanced ahead and saw Auntie Grandma seated comfortably, holding a cup of tea in her hands. She notice
Liliana’s Point of ViewWhen I finally made my way to the dining hall, I immediately saw them gathered around the table Uncle Grandpa, Auntie Grandma, and the two siblings. Their parents were nowhere in sight. I vaguely remembered being told that they were still away on a business trip, which explained why the house felt both full and slightly incomplete at the same time.Still, the warmth in the room made up for it.“Woah, sistah, I’m glad you wore the dress I bought for you. We’re really the same size. This is so fun!”I couldn’t help but smile at Elise’s excitement. There was something light and comforting about her energy, something that made it easy to forget the heaviness I had been carrying.“You didn’t have to buy me clothes. It’s a bit embarrassing.”“You’re not a stranger to us, Baby Liliana. You’re practically our granddaughter now. Come here.”Auntie Grandma opened her arms, and without hesitation, I walked toward her and wrapped my arms around her. Her embrace was warm, g
Liliana’s Point of ViewWe finally arrived at their mansion here in Switzerland, and the moment I stepped out, I couldn’t help but stare in awe. The place was breathtaking. It looked like something straight out of a dream, the kind of home you only see in movies or magazines. Everything about it felt grand yet warm at the same time.“Welcome to our home, Baby Liliana.”I smiled at Uncle Grandpa’s greeting, feeling a sudden sense of comfort despite being so far from everything familiar.“Thank you,” I replied softly.“Ah, you can take Liliana to her room. I’ll go ahead and find my wife and tell her that Liliana is already here.”“Okay, Grosspapi. We’ll take care of our beautiful guest.”He smiled and nodded gently before walking away. There was something about his presence that made me feel safe, like I had truly come to the right place.“Come on, Liliana.”Elise wrapped her arm around mine, pulling me along as we stepped inside the mansion. The interior was just as stunning as the out
Liliana’s Point of ViewI had finally arrived in Switzerland.The moment I stepped out of the plane and into Zurich Airport, a cold breeze immediately wrapped around me. It was sharp, unfamiliar, and enough to make me instinctively hug myself.It was freezing.Good thing I had already bought a coat back in Singapore during my layover. The trip here had been long, with connecting flights that drained both my body and mind. I had also taken the chance to buy new clothes and even a suitcase there.A fresh start.That was what I told myself.I slowly exhaled, watching the faint mist form in front of my lips before it disappeared into the air.Then I looked down at my phone.Someone was waiting for me.My fingers hovered over the screen for a moment before I pressed call.It didn’t even ring long.“Hello, baby Liliana?”A small smile formed on my lips the moment I heard his voice.“Uncle Grandpa, I’m already here. I just got off the plane and picked up my luggage. Where can I find you? Thi
3rd Person’s Point of ViewAsher could not sit still.Ever since his call with Liliana the day before, something had been weighing heavily on his chest. A quiet unease had settled deep within him, growing stronger with every passing hour.After that call, he had tried reaching her again.And again.And again.But she never answered.Now that he had finally arrived in the Philippines, he continued calling her, his patience slowly wearing thin. Each unanswered call only made his heart beat faster, louder, more restless.Something was wrong.He could feel it.He leaned his head back against the seat and glanced out the window, his jaw tightening. He still had not explained anything to her. Not about Josephine. Not about what she might have misunderstood.Yesterday had been chaos. There had been trouble, something that demanded his full attention, leaving him no time to think clearly. Even now, the wounds on his body still ached, but he ignored them.None of it mattered.All he wanted was
Liliana’s Point of ViewI was finally back in the Philippines.The moment I stepped inside the mansion, a strange silence wrapped around me. It felt familiar, yet distant, as if I no longer belonged here the way I once did.Without wasting time, I walked straight to the bedroom.Each step felt heavier than the last.When I reached the cabinet, I knelt down and reached underneath it, my fingers brushing against something hidden deep within.I pulled it out.An envelope.I already knew what was inside.My hands trembled slightly as I stared at it.The divorce papers.A quiet sigh escaped my lips as I slowly sat on the edge of the bed, my eyes fixed on the envelope resting in my hands.Then I noticed something.A small drop of water landed on its surface.I froze.It took me a second to realize that the tears had already fallen from my eyes.I quickly wiped them away, forcing myself to breathe.This had already been prepared by Zephyr, along with the contract.I knew the contract wasn’t
Liliana’s Point of View As we walked through the grocery store, Asher told me to grab anything we could stock in the fridge—ingredients for meals we would cook and eat together. Since it was all for us, I didn’t hesitate to start picking out what we needed. “Do you think everything I’m getting wil
Liliana’s Point of View* It was getting late, and we had already finished our dinner. I had just wrapped myself in a towel after getting out of the shower and made my way to the dressing room. Earlier, Asher had mentioned that he had some clothes in his drawer for me. I assumed I would borrow so
Liliana’s Point of View I smiled as I looked at them. "Wait, something feels different. You're dressed so nicely and even did your hair. Why didn’t you call me?" Because I already knew you'd pick those old-fashioned clothes again—nothing like what I’m wearing now. “Oh, I forgot to call. But this
Liliana’s Point of View Damn… Damn… “Wife?” I closed my eyes tightly, rubbing my temples as memories from last night came flooding back—me touching his chest, then sitting on his lap while holding him tight like some clingy fool. “Asher…” “Wife, don’t say my name like that. How are we supposed
