로그인MELDRID’S POV “Now that the impostor posing as Mariel is gone, I’d like to formally propose becoming your son’s new fiancée, Tita. You’ve known for a long time how much I truly care for him,” I said to Tita Kristine, Leon’s mother. I was here at their mansion, and I had deliberately asked to speak with her just for this very matter. She let out a long sigh before shaking her head slowly. I frowned, confused and annoyed by her reaction. “I don’t think that would be right, Meldrid. This is certainly not the proper time to arrange another engagement for my son. It would look very inappropriate for him to suddenly have a new fiancée right after everything that has happened.” “But Tita! Mariel has been dead for a long time now! If it weren’t for that deceitful woman, we would have found out much sooner that she was gone. By now, Leon and I would probably already be together,” I insisted firmly. She looked me straight in the eye for a long moment, then sighed again. “This is actually
ALLY’S POV I woke up with my head resting sideways against the shoulder of the man sitting next to me. I slowly opened my eyes, and they widened almost instantly when I saw his face—so incredibly close to mine. I blinked at him a few times, then pulled myself sharply away. But my surprise only grew when he quickly leaned toward me and gently held the back of my head. My heart nearly pounded out of my chest at his touch. “Be careful… you might hit your head against the metal bar,” he said softly, his eyes locked steadily on mine. He had caught me, keeping me from bumping my head against the metal frame by the bus window. Just then, a strong gust of wind blew, lifting the hood of my jacket and letting my long hair flow freely in the breeze. He looked a little taken aback when he saw my face clearly. “T-thank you,” I whispered, pushing him gently away from me. He glanced down at his chest where I had placed my hands, and I quickly pulled them back. “I-I’m sorry,” I stammered agai
ALLY’S POV As I was leaving the mansion, I saw a taxi approaching. It was just coming out, having apparently dropped off a passenger inside the subdivision. I quickly waved it down, and as soon as it stopped in front of me, I got in. “To the nearest terminal, please, Kuya,” I told the driver. While we were driving out, I couldn’t help but glance back at the huge gate slowly closing behind me. I would miss them all. I would miss every happy day I spent with them. Most especially Leon. He has no idea. He doesn’t know anything about what is happening to me right now. I wonder how he’ll feel when he finds out I’m no longer under the Cuevas’ care? Would he ever learn to love someone else? Or… would he look for me? No! It’s impossible to think he’d search for me. Probably now, Meldrid will be the one to become his fiancée. ‘Leon, forgive me. Forgive me for leaving you behind.’ I cried the whole way to the terminal. My eyes were already nearly swollen shut from all the endless weep
ALLY’S POV Just as Mrs. Cuevas had ordered her staff, no one brought me any food, water, or even medicine. My eyes were almost swollen shut from crying nonstop inside this room. I never imagined that in just the blink of an eye, all the affection they once had for me would vanish completely. But who am I really trying to fool? Who am I to deserve their love anyway? I’m not even related to them at all. When night fell, I was surprised when the door suddenly opened and Nanay Tessy walked in, carrying a tray of food. “N-Nanay Tessy? Why are you here? And what’s that you brought? Weren’t you forbidden from giving me anything to eat or drink?” I asked, confused and trembling. She sat gently by the edge of my bed and placed the tray on the side table. “I couldn’t bear to let you go hungry, child. No matter what mistakes you’ve made, that is never enough reason to starve you,” she said softly and kindly. I broke down again hearing those words, and without thinking twice, I hugged her
ALLY’S POV My head was throbbing and I still felt a little dizzy. My whole body felt incredibly heavy. As I lay there, I listened closely and heard faint sounds around me, along with the steady hum of a machine right beside me. Don’t tell me… am I in the hospital again? I started recalling everything that happened. Oh right… I got into another accident, the second one now. “Doctor, why hasn’t she woken up yet? There are so many things I need to ask her!” I heard a woman’s voice say nearby. Mom? So they’re here. “Her condition is stable now. It’s a good thing we were able to attend to her immediately and give her a blood transfusion. For now, all we can do is wait for her to wake up. I also strongly suggest that the patient be given plenty of rest,” I heard the doctor answer her. Moments later, the door opened and closed. The doctor must have left already. I slowly opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was the white ceiling of the room. Wait… this doesn’t look like a hospital roo
SAMANTHA’S POV “What was happening, Tito? I think Carla’s away on a trip right now. I dropped her off at the airport yesterday. Why? What’s going on?” I heard him let out a sharp, heavy sigh, and that only made me more anxious. The last time Tito acted this way was when Mariel got into that bus accident. “Tito?” I called out again when he stayed silent on the other end. [Someone called for Mariel earlier, at her house. They said Carla was at an exclusive club, completely drunk. They asked Mariel to pick her up in BGC. But when they reached the intersection, a truck crashed right into their vehicle. We’re here at the hospital right now. Mariel is in critical condition, and their driver, Pedio, still hasn’t regained consciousness.] I gasped at what I heard and immediately stood up. “WHAT?! WHICH HOSPITAL IS IT, TITO RODERICK? I’M ON MY WAY. I’LL CALL CARLA TOO.” I rushed downstairs to the living room and saw the shocked expressions on Mom and Dad’s faces. “Dear, what’s the hurry
LEON'S POV "Please let's go back inside my unit, baby," I said softly to Mariel once she’d calmed down from her crying. The elevator doors opened, and I immediately shot a glare at the people waiting to get in while still holding Mariel in my arms. The two men standing there stepped back when the
ALLY'S POV I quickly got out of bed and headed for the closed door. Leon looked surprised, so he immediately stood up and wrapped his arm around my small waist to stop me from leaving. “What is it?! Let go of me! Let go of me, Leon!” I shouted as I struggled to break free from his embrace. Inste
ALLY'S POV I can't help but feel angry with Meldrid. She always calls me a bitch and a slut, but I think those words suit her more. Because she's chasing after my boyfriend! Her calls stopped, and after a moment, she called again. I held onto Leon's cellphone tightly as I stared at Meldrid's name
