Despite already knowing the darkness that clung to their family’s history like smoke on skin, Rome continued to meet with Baron in secret. She couldn’t help it. He was a beautiful disaster she couldn’t turn away from— a storm she knew would wreck her eventually, but still, she stepped into the rain without an umbrella.

Just a week after her parents’ voices had rung through the house like fire alarms, their anger scorching through the walls of her conscience, she was at it again— lying, slipping out the back door of truth just to see him.

They met at a low-lit restaurant in a nearby town, the kind with tinted windows and the faint hum of cheap jazz bleeding from dusty ceiling speakers. Baron didn’t even bother with a proper greeting. The moment they sat down, his jaw already locked tight, he snapped.

  • THROUGH THE WIND AND THE RAIN (ENGLISH)   CHAPTER 092 - The Audacity!

    "Oh, hey, Rome!"What is she doing here? she asked herself, stunned at the sight of Precilla standing in the living area.The moment Jen told her about the unexpected visitor, it was as if all the pain and discomfort she had felt since last night vanished. She had rushed down the stairs, and there in the spacious living room stood Precilla, looking up at the large portraits that lined the high walls. Rome stopped just a few feet away and took a deep breath before continuing her approach.This is the woman who once meant something to me.The same woman who made me attack Cayson Montemayor ten years ago.And now, she’s the woman making my blood boil because she

  • THROUGH THE WIND AND THE RAIN (ENGLISH)   CHAPTER 091 - While She Heals, He Lies

    She didn’t feel any better the entire day. Her body remained heavy, her lower back ached persistently, and her head throbbed without mercy. As night crept in, the discomfort clung to her like a fevered fog, making every breath and shift of movement feel like a chore. Thanks to Jen, however, she was at least able to take a warm bath. The house helper gently supported her, careful with every movement, even helping her into fresh clothes afterwards. Jen made several trips in and out of her room, always with something in hand; a tray of soup, a glass of water, slices of fruit. She moved with quiet purpose, like a nurse tending to a patient she genuinely cared about.Cayson hadn’t called all day. But that wasn’t unusual. He always waited until evening to check in on her… if he checked in at all.The television stayed on from mo

    "Thanks for the ride, Baron. Next time, I’ll ask Granny Althea’s driver to take me so I don’t bother you every time I visit," Rome said with a warm smile as Baron pulled up in front of the mansion's gate.Connie had asked to be dropped off at the mall to do some grocery shopping, while Baron took Rome straight to the quiet, tree-lined subdivision. The early evening air was cool, carrying with it the soft hum of crickets and the fading light of dusk."Nah, it’s nothing, Rome. Just a small favor," Baron replied casually, giving her a friendly nod.She thanked him again with genuine gratitude, stepped out of the car, and gently closed the door.Jen, the house helper, was already outside tending to the garden, watering the plants. She ha

    Rome tried to carry on like everything was normal in the days that followed. But every time Cayson left the house for work, she couldn’t help but suspect the worst. She knew he was going to the office, but a voice in the back of her head whispered that he might be meeting with Precilla instead.Oh, that woman.Connie had invited her several times to go out with Precilla, but Rome refused every single time. She would rather stay cooped up in the mansion, stuck in a dull routine, than sit across a table from that snake. The very idea was intolerable.And Cayson? She was angry with him, too. But she had to act like she wasn’t. After all, she had no right. They had signed terms. They had an agreement.Still, that anger melted every time he was gentle with h

    After that night, Cayson returned to Laguna. Rome breathed a shaky sigh of relief, trying to convince herself that there would be no chance for him and Precilla to cross paths. She knew his schedule would be packed, especially with the progress of the new terminal’s construction.But the moment they stepped back into the mansion after the dinner party, her peace of mind began to crack. She did something most wouldn’t admit to, something driven by love, insecurity, and desperation. She went through Cayson’s phone.It wasn’t locked— no password. That, at least, comforted her. She typed in Precy’s number with trembling fingers, bracing herself for what she might find. And when the name didn’t appear, it felt like a thorn had been pulled from her chest. Relief surged through her.

    Everyone was already at the hotel’s restaurant when they arrived. They were twenty minutes late, only because neither of them wanted to let go of each other after the fiery moments they shared.She wanted to stay in bed, and Cayson had agreed, thinking it was a wonderful idea. But Connie called, reminding them that the whole family was already on their way to the hotel.It was too late to cancel dinner just because they wanted to stay locked in the room.Cayson supported her all the way to the hotel restaurant. His hands never left her body, and she could not stop smiling. She felt like the most beautiful woman in his eyes.She had let Cayson pick out the dress she would wear for the evening, and after she had gotten ready, all he could say were words of admiration
