"OMG, Yongsann Lim! Finally, you're back!" exclaimed Judie."Oh my goodness! So, it's true that you're back, you witch! Welcome back to the Philippines, the country with requirements higher than the sky for job hiring!" added Lou, and I even laughed at it.They weren't satisfied and hugged me tightly."Ouch, easy there," I complained because I could hardly breathe.They quickly let go."Oh, sorry! We're just really happy to see you.""Is it really better abroad? Maybe I should add it to my bucket list," Lou teased me."This is nonsense! Don't dream of living in another country. It's tough.""Really? You said so, huh. So?""So, what?""Are you going back to your career?""I don't know. Right now, I don't have any plans. I received an offer for a work-from-home position from the company I worked for in Canada.""Ohh, a different Yongsann indeed. How about you, Grantt and Graxylla?"I didn't answer right away. I haven't told this person that I'm back. I arrived last night, and I'm only v
I nervously entered Grantt's event venue, not alone but accompanied by Wendy, Judie, and Venice.Grantt was already backstage, preparing for his performance. The renowned MoonSun band, known for their collaboration with Grantt, was also set up.Feeling the gaze of the people around, my heart pounded even more.Grantt stepped onto the stage, and the band started playing."First time I laid my eyes on someone like you..."With my eyes, I quickly sought the owner of the voice that resonated. I found the main vocalist on the left side of the stage, singing."Hey, Yongsann Lim!" I was surprised by Grantt's sudden call and the way he addressed me. It felt like he was a tough guy in the neighborhood."Aish, this jerk!" I replied, forgetting the crowd around us. Laughter erupted, and I just wanted to turn into a potato."To those who oppose our relationship with Yongsann, you can leave this place freely. The door is open."Everyone fell silent except for the MoonSun Band, who continued playin

•••••••EPILOGUE••••••••————————————"Is this your house?" Grantt asked as we got off.I brought him to Sabrina's house in Antipolo. The truth is, I've been nervous since earlier. Now, I have to confess to him about Graxylla."Oh, this is Sabrina's house," I answered while trying to calm myself."Oh, can we go back to our house in Tagaytay? I talked to Mommy, and she's fine with that. She also wants to talk to you and apologize."I smiled and nodded. I received a message from his mother yesterday, but I chose not to reply yet. I wanted everyone to know about our child first."L-Let's get inside," I said and held his hand."Your hand is cold, are you okay? Are you sick, Yong?"I bit my lower lip so he wouldn't notice that I'm also trembling. I didn't expect the anxiety to be this overwhelming."I'm f-fine," I replied simply and opened the main door, guiding him inside. Sab was the only one in the living room."Oh, you're here. Auntie! Yongsann is here!" she called out to Mom. Dad went
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING THIS ONE. ~~~~~~RECAP CHAPTER~~~~~~~_____________________"Let's get a divorce, Yongsann," he said rudely as he entered our room. It was still early in the morning, but those irritating words greeted me."I haven't had a decent night's sleep since your concert ended, Grantt. Do you even have the slightest concern to ask how I'm doing?" I shouted, my voice filled with frustration.This guy has a knack for pushing my buttons. Despite my enduring patience, he consistently manages to find new and exasperating ways to drain it, like a relentless mosquito buzzing around, testing the limits of my sanity.It has been two days since his 4th-anniversary concert ended, and immediately after, he left without a word, not saying where he was going.As his manager, I wanted to report him as a missing person if I hadn't seen his post yesterday morning with his non-celebrity friends and his famous singing partner, Wendy. Like, what the hell is wrong with him? Even if h

"Have you gone mad?" Grantt exclaimed when he saw me stepping out of the room. I adjusted my sling bag that was slipping off my exposed shoulder.I am only wearing short shorts paired with a crop top. It's in fashion now, so no one cares about what I'm wearing.Well, except for this annoying guy who always interferes in my life. Jeez.He pretends to be concerned, but he just wants to make it clear to me that he dislikes everything about me—my actions, my clothes, my way of speaking, and everything else about me.What a jerk!Who would have thought that I would end up being married to this heartless man instead of his asshole brother?Wherever that man is, whether he's still alive or not, I hope he's as miserable as he should be. I hate him as much as I despise the man in front of me."Not really, but if I have to talk to you every minute, something worse might happen to me. Why? What's your problem again? Sorry, I couldn't find a pen, that's why I haven't signed the damn papers yet, a
I got home in Tagaytay tonight. I feel really cold even though I'm wearing long sleeves.I do have warm jackets, but I didn't bother to find them earlier in the condo. It was a hassle coming straight from a meeting.I frowned when I saw the front door unlocked. I went inside carefully."Where's your wife? Why are you alone?" It was Grantt's mom.I could see them both from where I stood. I wasn't sure if she had just arrived."Mom, I told you Yongsann is at work."From his tone, I knew where this was going. I've known for a while that my mother-in-law doesn't like me.I get it. I used to date one of her sons who disappeared, and now I'm married to her other son, who always seems to have issues with me.What kind of situation have I walked into? I never expected it to be like this."Work again? I've been here many times, and she's always not here, Grantt. Are you sure your wife isn't with another man?"I clenched my fists. I didn't understand why she was getting more hostile. I wasn't d
