014 | Avoiding Leandro
Diane’s P.O.V.
He was silent for only God knew how long until he finally spoke. “I also knew your real name, D-Dayanara,” he confessed without even looking at me. I knew for a fact that he was guilty. It was damn obvious.
That was it. Tears immediately welled up my eyes, but I let out a sardonic chuckle to hide my hurt feelings. The word hurt holds a lot more meaning than its usual definitions, and I was hurt because he lied to me.
All this time, he knew, but he didn’t tell me?
Although I did not reveal my real name, I still stayed true to him for the sake of our friendship. I kept myself cool and empathic, even though I had already predicted that this kind of terrible thing could happen soon. I felt betrayed. I trusted him more than anyone, but I guessed he was not trustworthy enough.
People could say that I was too emotio

Diane’s P.O.V.“You must be referring to my brother, miss. I saw that he was the only one who left the parking area a few seconds after you entered my car. By the way, I am Liam. Liam Arthur Evangelista. Do not be confused—we might have looked like each other, but Leandro and I were not twins. So, may I have this chance to know the name of this pretty girl beside me?”His description of me made my brain float in the air. He painted a magnificent smile on his lips as he held out his right arm to reach mine for a handshake. There, I noticed a deep and gorgeous dimple on his right cheek.Liam Arthur. I liked his name. It was so handsome and suited him well.So, Leandro was his brother? Well, that explains why they look so alike. But what is he doing here in the parking lot of Lucy’s Club? He does not look like someone hanging out here.
Sins of The Past 016 | Mischievous Wink
Diane’s P.O.V.It was a good thing that the road was wide enough and had four lanes, so we would not disturb the other motorists here. Although while moving my head to search for a familiar landmark, I could tell that we were in an almost secluded part of the village.“Shit! I am so sorry, Diane. We lost gas. Tsk, I think I should have it full next time! I should have never been too confident,” Liam said apologetically.“It’s okay, I can manage.” I smiled. Incidents happen when you least expect them, so I had to understand the situation.He closed the roof of his car then patiently looked around the area until he decided to get out of the car. Perhaps, he would go and ask the owner of the store I was looking at. “Wait, stay here.”“I’ll join you,” I offered.Because of that, he
Sins of The Past 017 | Unfathomable Urge
Liam’s P.O.V.Diane does not have any other choice but to come with me. I knew that it was not easy for her to be with me in just one room, considering the fact that we had only met today, but I thanked her for trusting me.For that, I would not do anything that could break her trust. If I had to sleep on the floor, then I would do it just for her to be comfortable in our current situation.The room was clean and fully equipped. It had its own bathroom, small balcony, air-conditioner, sofa, cabinet, fridge, and television. The only problem was the small bed. It was only a double size—too far from my customized emperor-size bed in my bachelor’s pad.In fact, my bedroom was way bigger even if I would triple the size of this room, but I could not do anything about it because I did not want to exert further efforts to go home now. I guessed this would be much better kno
Sins of The Past 018 | Confused Thoughts
Diane’s P.O.V.You are embarrassing, Diane! So, what do you expect? That he will kiss you? Oh my God! Maybe his brother, Leandro, will do that to you faster than the speed of light. So quick that you do not even have to wait!But Liam? Do not ever assume that he will like you! Not even a single chance that he will fall for someone like you, okay? Women like you are not his type. So it will be better not to expect anymore because you will only get hurt in the end.My subconscious was such a pest, murmuring at the back of my head and acting like it already knew everything. It would not leave me alone, and it was damn too annoying. Suddenly uncomfortable with what Liam had said, I slowly removed myself from leaning against the wall and just followed him with my gaze.Liam laid his body on the small sofa, but he could not fit in
Sins of The Past 019 | Spending The Night
Diane’s P.O.V.Looking at him again, I could not help but fall more and more into his gaze. It felt like I ended up melting even more. I bit my lower lip as hard as I could.Even if I wanted to be afraid by how deep his stares were at me, I could not understand myself because it was as if I even liked what he was doing. Even if I wanted to get away from him, it was as if I wanted to get closer to him. Tonight might be the first time we saw each other, but I wanted to know him more.“You know what, Liam? Whatever the outcome of me being with you right now, it would be all my fault. The moment I entered your car, I did not think straight though. I just went with the flow—naively crossing something without even discerning about the possible risk. So, I guess I really have to face the consequence. I have to deal with it.”My goodness, I didn’t even know
Sins of The Past 020 | Extreme Fear
Diane’s P.O.V.After a few minutes, Liam got out of the bathroom wearing a plain white T-shirt and boxer shorts. He was holding his tuxedo. As much as I would like to see him with his wet hair, I ended up ignoring him.With the towel on my shoulder, I rushed inside and locked the bathroom door. I could not even remember if I closed the fridge properly. All I wanted was to avoid him. I felt like my face was still red from the heat, and I immediately confirmed it in front of the mirror above the sink, installed right next to the door.Soon, I was done showering too. I was not able to bring my bra, so I was sure that my rich breasts could be barely seen through my lacy top. Hiding them from Liam, I just crossed my arms in front of my chest while walking in the direction of the cabinet. I even saw him watching a Netfilms’ movie, but I had decided to look away.“Forget a
Sins of The Past 021 | Getting Infatuated
Diane’s P.O.V.I woke up to the intensity of the sunlight hitting my face, making me rub my hazy eyes in the process. It was almost blinding me, but I had to open my eyes to see how it seeped into the room. The sun relentlessly poured through the balcony glass door. Another day had dawned, bringing new hopes and aspirations.But wait, why do I seem to be somewhere else? I wondered before I scanned the whole place.Only then, everything that happened last night sank into my brain—that I ended up with Liam while avoiding Leandro. Liam does not want me to commute on my way home, but his sports car runs out of gas in the middle of the road, so we had to check-in, then spend the rest of the night in this budget inn.Left with no other choice, I agreed to share a room with him since there was only one room available. He was a gentleman enough to sleep on the couch, but
Sins of The Past 022 | Quite Intimidating
Diane’s P.O.V.I smiled awkwardly as the heat rose from the stomach to my face, making my cheeks suddenly warmed up. Marky was like his mother, Alma.Couldn’t he remember last night that I didn’t want to share a room with Liam? Whose wife will do that?There was something in me that was aggravated not because of what they thought about the two of us, but because I knew that it would never happen as much as I wanted to. In the end, I would just hope and assume for nothing. If I continue to nurture this odd feeling, I would only be hurt. Our social status was so much different, and it was so impossible for me to reach him—let alone for Liam to fall in love with someone like me.“Oh, is that so? Sorry, ma’am!” He ended up scratching his head at my response. “Well, it looks like you two were destined for each other.”&
