CASSANDRA P.O.V.

"You are so utterly useless, Cassandra!" my mother screamed from the front door. I was about to leave to visit Tita Rose, my stepmother.

I was used to the painful words I heard from her every single day. My ears felt almost deaf to her constant nagging.

I hadn't even digested what Dwayne said to me earlier, and here was a sweet dessert right after. Fortunately, my ears shut on their own, and my entire being had grown numb.

    DWAYNE'S P.O.V. It was past six in the evening when I woke up. I hadn't eaten anything since breakfast, missing lunch as well, yet I didn't feel hungry at all. I grabbed my phone from the side table, hoping for a text message from Allison. A smile instantly formed on my face when I saw her name on the screen. I was excited to open it, if only Cassandra's message hadn't popped up first. "Hi Dwayne, could you please come to the hospital? I just woke up. I miss you." I sighed, thanking God that she was okay. Her operation was successful with no complications, at least, that was what Aunt Vina had told me. I ignored her message and opened the one from Uncle Lucio, or rather, my stepdad. "Go see Cassandra at the hospital. She needs you right now." I furrowed my brows and shook my head in disbelief. Was he really that desperate to push the two of us together? If it weren't for Mom, I would never follow his orders. Finally, I opened Allison's message. "Sleep well," she wrote

    ALLISON'S P.O.V. After hearing the truth about my identity, I feel that Sister Cassandra truly has a greater claim within our family and regarding all the inheritance. All this time, Sister Cassandra was Angelo's full sister, while I was only his half-sister. It feels like fate is playing games with my life. Even though I want to confront Mom, I just can't bring myself to do it. I want her to tell me the truth on her own. I want to know who my real mother is, and I want to ask her why she had to give me away. I looked at Sister Cassandra, who was fast asleep with various medical apparatuses hooked up to her body. I prayed for her to wake up soon because I didn't want to stay in this hospital any longer. I might not be able to handle it if I uncover another truth that could crumble my entire existence. "Ta-ta," my baby said with a smile. I glanced back at Sister Cassandra and saw her slowly fluttering her eyes open. "Mom! Sister Cassandra is awake!" I ran outside, calling out.

    DWAYNE'S P.O.V. I tried my best to head home early because I desperately needed some rest, but Greg called and told me to head to the office instead because my stepdad was there. I had no idea what was going on or why he needed to show up in person; he could have easily called or asked me to swing by the house. The moment I stepped into the office, I was greeted by the old man's sharp, glare-filled eyes as he sat right in my chair. "It seems like you're just having fun and neglecting the company. Is this how you take care of my company?" he asked, smiling, though the irritation in his voice was undeniable. "My father's company, not yours," I retorted, annoyed. Why did he even bother coming here when he contributed absolutely nothing? "Lest you forget, your father was my best friend, and the two of us built this company together. That is why he handed it over to me before he passed away," he said, still wearing that smug smile I desperately wanted to wipe off his face. "He d

    ALLISON’S P.O.V. It was already past noon when I woke up. I glanced at the clock, and my eyes widened in shock. It was already past twelve! My eyes immediately searched for my son, who was sleeping peacefully beside me. I gently lifted him and placed him inside his crib. I needed to take a quick shower so we could go to the hospital to visit Ate Cassandra. If I didn't go, Mom would probably think I had no consideration for my sister. In less than twenty minutes, I finished showering, rushing so much that I didn't even bother scrubbing thoroughly. When I returned to the bedroom, Drake was wide awake, playing with the balls scattered inside his crib. I quickly dressed in a simple shirt and pants; I wasn't going to a mall, so there was no need to dress up fancy. I picked Drake up and wiped him clean. Mom had likely given him a bath earlier in the morning. After dressing him, I called Manong Julio to pick us up and drive us to the hospital. Ten minutes later... Beep... Beep... (T

    ALLISON’S P.O.V. The sun was already high in the sky when Dwayne dropped me off at home. I caught sight of Angelo pouting outside while waiting for his car to arrive, not for me. He was in his school uniform, and given that it was already mid-day, he was undoubtedly late. I smiled at him, but he immediately gave me a cold response. "Come on, Ate, Annika and I are already late," he grumbled, snatching the car keys from my hand. Without another word, he drove off. I scratched my head in defeat and went straight inside the house. "Where have you been, Allison? Where did you sleep?" my mother asked in quick succession. She was looking at me intently while cradling my son. "At a friend's place, Mom," I answered briefly. "Your friend must be extremely important for you to leave your child behind and spend the night there." Though her voice was calm, the annoyance beneath it was clear. "It was important, Mom. We were working on a presentation for a new project at the company," I l

    DWAYNE'S P.O.V. I couldn't stop smiling because she agreed to let me court her. We shared the little food left on the table and talked about everything going on in our lives. It was already 3:00 AM, but I still had no intention of taking her home just yet because I wanted to be with her longer. "Take me home now, Dwayne. It's almost morning. If I can't go to work tomorrow, it's going to be your fault," she said with a pout. My future girlfriend was truly as cute as could be. "Just go home tomorrow. I'll drive you, even if you decide to skip work," I said with a smile, trying to convince her to stay a little longer. "With a smile like that, I already know where this is heading." Her eyes widened, so I immediately stepped closer to her. I pulled her by the waist and looked directly into her eyes. "You are mine, always mine," I said in a hoarse voice, feeling my body react as heat pooled low in my gut. "Hey! Your friend down there is starting to stand up again. Take me home
