She didn’t cry. Valentine’s eyes, blurred with gathering tears watch her friend walk away. The only cheerful and most enthusiastic friend she ever had was leaving her. She blamed herself for involving Missy into this; it was only supposed to be her and William. Missy was right, she made her look like a fool for believing that she could have William by herself.
The tears that gathered were overflowing now; they streamed down from her eyes, then to her cheeks. Valentine closed her eyes tightly, pushing all the liquid out then inhaled deeply. This was all her fault.
William placed his hand over her shoulder and grabbed her closer. He placed a kiss on her temple and whispered, “she’s left. Let’s go inside.”
She expected for him to talk back to Missy, then stop her from leaving but perhaps he only showed respect for the two of them by not intruding. She moved as he began to softly pull her to the house.
As they got inside, B

It was now nearing night time. Both men had been talking like they were long lost friends. Valentine smiled as she realized they had gotten so well of each other. What made her heart flutter was when she heard her father dismiss William’s address of him.“Don’t call me ‘sir’. You’re already my daughter’s husband. You could call me ‘dad’ if you’d like.”Valentine almost squealed at this. Everything was going well. There would be no more room for their lies to stay in. She and William were now genuinely in love, and her father finally knew about it.She was at the kitchen, cooking food for dinner. Valentine was making it specially for this night. The two were at the living room, talking about politics, history, business, and anything that these men were interested in.Knocking came from the door.“Dad, can you please answer it for me?” she asked sweetly, yet with a louder t

After their conversation during dinner, Vaughn excused himself after Lucy called. Meanwhile, William excused himself as well so he could go back to his house then pack his things for their temporary stay at his family. Thus, leaving the father and the daughter in the house. Billy volunteered to wash the dishes while she readied herself before William would arrive. She shoved everything she needed and might need. Then, she took a shower to refresh her mind and even attempt to slowly sink in that she’d be meeting William’s family. She wanted to keep a good impression. Anxiety surged through her mind, causing questions to burst out: Will his mother get along with her? Will everything go smoothly as how she wanted it to be? Valentine pushed the thoughts at the back of her mind, not wanting to make herself worry anymore. Valentine was already at the porch, back slouched, and her chin placed on top of a bag. While all her other bags were behind her. She sighed heav

She woke up as her body shook. Valentine groaned and muttered, “five more minutes.”“Say that again then I’ll push you off the cliff.”Valentine pushed her eyes open, rubbed them, then she yawned. “Have we arrived yet?”“No, not yet, but I don’t want you missing this scenery,” William spoke. She looked past his shoulders, where rays of red, pink, and orange were still yet about to stretch across the sky.They were on a cliff, just by the side of the road.“What time is it?”“It’s 5 in the morning. I saw a store that’s open for 24 hours and decided to buy ourselves snack.” He twisted his upper body to reach the bag wherein he placed the food he bought on the backseat, introducing them to her. “What about we eat breakfast together by those safety barriers?” He pointed.She nodded, agreeing. They stationed themselves comforta

They arrived. Valentine gawked as her eyes settled themselves on a massive contemporary-styled mansion. Its asymmetry and aesthetic vibe it gave out screamed at her, wanting her to feel at home. The minimalist undertones painted all over the contemporary mansion made it more welcoming and calming.The gates opened automatically when they got closer. It must have been a sensor gate, it detected their motion even they were just almost 2 meters away from it. She was speechless; their family was obviously rich. This even made her more anxious. She twisted her body as they drove past, she watched the gate close and smiled, amused.Flowers — mostly blue ones — were planted by the fences, lining up to the back of the house. William parked his car at the front, then he placed his hand on hers. “You’re going to do just fine.”“Hopefully,” Valentine mumbled.The couple got out of the car simultaneously, then they closed the

To her surprise, William decided to bring her on a date. She beamed non-stop, realizing that she wouldn’t have to endure Helen’s personality. Valentine bathed first, then he followed right after she finished.“You can hold my hand whenever you want to.” William brought his hand out for her.She felt like she was getting teary-eyed. Valentine gladly held his hand and they got out of the room. Now that their fingers were intertwined together, she had no other choice but to go wherever he would go.When they reached downstairs, William looked for Helen.Valentine inhaled heavily and felt her shoulders shrug. She was going to see the bothered mother-in-law again, even though she hadn’t done anything but appear before her at the doorstep. What was the reason why Helen saw her like that less than an hour? What was going on in her mind?They found Helen by the garden, watering her flowers. Quickly, Valentine released her hold

The thrill that came over her realizing that they hadn’t seen each other for almost a month then bumped into each other in a different city made her excited. She wanted to dive in for a hug but her hand was clutching on five sticks of fish balls. Valentine witnessed the disappointment in Adam’s eyes — who was standing right beside Delilah.“Is there something wrong, Adam?”“Nah, it’s just nice seeing the both of you together. My baby here’s been wanting to contact you but you’re always out of reach,” he answered, avoiding her stare as he looked down on the floor.“Yes, V, what happened?” Delilah asked as she placed her hands on Valentine’s shoulders.She smiled. “Nothing much. Drama here, drama there.” Technically, it was how her life’s summed up.“Let’s talk there on one of the benches,” Delilah suggested then she turned towards the me

Valentine wondered what was wrong with him. She recalled Delilah’s words a day after her wedding with William. She said Adam would yell and curse at her whenever she spoke on the night after the wedding. If Adam was going to stay like that with Delilah, it would be best if he’d just leave her.She felt something cold poke on her lips. Valentine looked up at the amused William, then she laughed. “What?”“We need to finish all of these first,” he answered as he brought the fish balls to her mouth.Hesitantly, considering that they were in public, with lots of people around the place and her friend Delilah right beside her, she just wanted to snatch it away from William’s hand and eat it by herself.“Don’t think about it. I’m feeding you,” William spoke threateningly as he poked her mouth. “Now, open.”Red crept up to her cheeks as she parted her lips. Gently, William pushed

A ringing sound of William’s phone took over the silence. Valentine looked at him, worried if he’d pick it up or not. He glanced at Adam and Valentine then said, “sorry, I’ll just have to take this.” He fished for his phone from his pocket then answered, “Hello, yes?” Valentine wanted to eavesdrop but the voice from the other end of the line was quite inaudible. She stayed silent but still wanted to know what it was about. Instead, her eyes focused on Adam — who was showing difficulty in avoiding her stare. “What?” he spat promptly, yet in hushed tones. His sudden manner of speaking made her to look back at him and mouth, “what’s wrong?” “Work,” he mouthed back then returned his attention to the caller, “tell them to contact me.” He stood up as he pulled the phone away from his face. “I’ll be back. I need to take care of this.” Valentine nodded, understanding that he’d be busy all the time. Nevertheless, she decided to take this opport
