Gyzell’s POVI just waited for Kevin to finish his glass of homemade wine as I rubbed my seafood-filled belly. Boy, how fresh their food is! I’d definitely sell my soul for another round of this feast. “Let’s do it now, Kevin,” I purred. “Let’s do it now that the people are in a good mood and aren’t on the party mode yet.” Kevin snorted. I looked around again and I realized why he snorted at me. The people had long gone partying since the break of dawn. It’s the second day of the company’s party and people seem to never run out of energy. Some are still dancing their bodies until their soul leaves the earth. Others were drinking and grilling seafood and meat while telling stories of their younger years. There are also others who are cloaked by the shadows, singing songs of pleasure that came from their bodies. Kevin, though slightly intoxicated, lifted up his wine glass and made a ringing sound using a table knife.

Raymond’s POVLyla thought that I was Darwin. I can only say one word: fuck. She’s good. Well, she’s always been this good. But the feeling of her tongue playing me is epic. Tasty and insane, but darkly delicious. I don’t know if she’s only acting by seeing me as Darwin. I can say that she has finally wanted to reconnect back with me. Through this. Through this enactment or whatsoever that women call. Oh yes, I know the words: role playing. She’s roleplaying that she sees me as her former boss. But why? Or perhaps she’s— “You still taste good, Darwin…” I should tell her, before she delves further. “Lyla…” I sing her name, sending it into the cool breeze of the night. I wanted to stop her. But my heart says otherwise. Forbidden things are more delicious as they say. I looked up to see Darwin staring right at us. “Ehem!” She immediately spit me

Mariella’s POVShe rejected me. But she still kissed me—on my forehead and cheeks before she turned her back at me. Sitting a few meters from where I was standing was the man who offered Minerva a ride on that very day. Lushan Angeles is drinking. Twelve bottles of beer were on his table, along with a plate of sizzling pork and grilled strips of beef. My mind keeps on whispering to me that I’ll join him. But I can’t see myself drinking with him, striking a conversation with him. Being with him. He lifted his head and there’s no reason for me to turn my back away. Especially when he gestured by tapping the seat of the chair, beckoning me for a seat beside him. And God knows I really did sit beside him. Our bodies are a few inches from touching each other with every move. “Have you eaten yet?” I shook my head. “Here,” Lushan handed me the plate of grilled beef and called the waiter for a small bowl of ma

Minerva’s POVDarwin still didn’t pay attention to me, or even greeted me since we arrived from Isla de Rubia. Why do men wait for women to approach them? Don’t they know that we women also liked to be approached by men first? We were living together like a cat and dog. Though not quarreling noisily, we are in silent battle with each other. Literally a ‘cold war’. A month has passed and I am utterly tortured by this setting. I wake up without him in bed, do things that I want or need over the course of the day, then having dinner with him with our utensils’ clanking serves as the only noise throughout the entire meal. This is seriously tiring, boring, and infuriating. I want those days to be back where we kissed every time, any time. We can touch each other without asking for a word and the likes. And sometimes he doesn’t come home at all. He didn’t even come home for the past few days. I felt like a prisoner of m

Minerva’s POVMariella is bearing little Hemera in her arms. I just recently woke up after a day and a half, and I immediately saw the two of them. I looked to the left and I found Darwin sleeping soundly on the coffee-colored couch. “How’s little Hemera?” I asked. Mariella Chu’s brows rose. “Hemera?” I tried to sit up but my head ended up falling back to the pillow. “Yes. Her name is Hemera Lou.” A shock look on her face made me cackle. “Why? You didn’t expect that we’ll name her sooner?” We because Darwin and I named her. In fact, it was only him who named her. I just added Lou as her second name, derived from my favorite young adult book series, Serpent & Dove. I glanced at him and I forced a smile. “How are you after that—“ I took a breath, a pause before continuing. ”That rejection of your offer?” Why do I make it sound like Mariella is offering me a huge business deal and I simply jus

Cyrene’s POVI got to start booktubing now. My fellow bookworms are waiting for me to talk live about the book I recently read, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I fixed my camera and the light, as well as other things I need to set up as I am new to this bookworm world. I only used to stand naked and have sex on camera back to the days when giving and providing pleasure is the reason why I manage to prepare a food on my table every meal and every day. I am glad I was able to escape from that living prison and I am now finally doing what I love and what seems ‘acceptable’ to the society. I clicked live and started filming. I greeted my audience first and stated my objectives for this live video as what I’ve read on a blog article. I may look like an idiotic whore who is forcing myself to be a booktuber but I am doing everything I could. I am exerting efforts that I cannot even imagine to give. I am willing to learn everythin

Cyrene’s POVThe camera is still on and everything is recorded live. E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. Everything was unexpected, disheartening, and a shitful, goddamn surprise. Jocelyn was full of surprises, as she had always been. But her tearful confessions earlier…it’s like watching a telenovela that I didn’t even anticipate to watch. I watched her vanish on that door and checked the comments on my live stream that I even forgot to turn—it was a good thing also that I didn’t, frankly speaking. It has reached a fucking two hundred thousand views in just a matter of hour. I was astonished, flabbergasted, and gaping that even an elephant could fit in my mouth. I pressed stop and ended the live stream. I closed my laptop and grabbed my phone while I dial a number. Yet, I was confused on what number I should call. Should I call Darwin? Damon? The police? The mental hospital? I should probably call Minerva for a warning. “Hello?

Minerva’s POVShe was engaged to Damon, my soon to be father-in-law. I glanced at Cyrene, who was under the flowerless tree. In her arms was my child, Hemera Lou. It has been three months since I've been admitted to the hospital and I just managed to be discharged an hour ago. The sky is gray, as gray as the stone that rests atop the bed where Derrick eternally rests. I don’t care if it’s drizzling. I don’t care if I get wet as long as Cyrene and Hemera don't. I don’t give a damn if it will rain because, in my eyes, the world has long since been raining. Even with Darwin’s sunshine smile and moonbeam eyes, you can never keep rain from coming in my life. That no matter how bright the world is, one can never stop a rain from pouring. For after every rain, there is sunshine. And in every bright sunny day comes a cold and chilling rainy afternoon. People keep saying that I should move on. Yes, I have moved on. I definitely have a
