Few days have passed."Please fasten your seatbelts...We will land at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in 10 minutes..." Serena heard the Captain's announcement from the plane's numerous speakers.Serena felt Liam's warm hand on her own hand. She smiled at her fiance'. She can say that she's the luckiest woman in the world because a wonderful, amazing, and almost perfect man just like Liam is inlove with her. Liam decided to accompany her to give her emotional support, and to finally meet her family face-to-face. "You're still worried about your sister, am I right?" Liam gently asks her."Well, I can't help it. My Dad ang my sister is the only family I have." Serena replied, while letting out a big sigh."But Via is on the road to recovery, just like what your father said." Liam tries to reassure her."Yes, she is. Little by little.

"Serena, I am very much aware of your special treatment towards me. I'm actually flattered, and I would like to thank you for appreciating me. However, I only treat you as my student, as a friend, and as a younger sister. I am so sorry." her teacher finally went straight to the point.Serena feels like her heart has been broken to million pieces after she heard him. She wasn't expecting this kind of turn of events. She was really hoping that her teacher feels the same way just like her, but it was the total opposite.

She took a deep breath to calm herself, and once she regained her composure, she forces herself to smile towards him."I understand, Sir. Thank you for being honest with you. Let's forget about this and let's move on, okay?" Serena said, in a casual tone.Her teacher smiled at her as well, while nodding in agreement."Of course, Serena. By the way, I wo

Paolo was wiping his neck with a towel while listening to their coach. Their coach suddenly stopped talking when they heard someone calling his name."Paolo!" Paolo's eyebrows met in a frown when he saw Benjie, who's also from Serena's club, running towards their direction. He looks clearly worried and anxious. "I'm so sorry for interrupting your meeting, Sir. But I need to talk to Paolo." Benjie announces."What's wrong, Benjie Why do you look so worried?" Paolo immediately asks Benjie. "Serena's getting physical with Brianna and her friends!" Benjie relayed, in a panicky manner.Paolo didn't say anything else. He quickly ran is way towards the school gymnasium.

"Why are you so quiet?" Serena curiously asked, as she and Paul are walking home as usual after school.Paul looked at Serena straight in the eye. Serena can't see any emotions on his face."I'm breaking up with you." he said, out of the blue.Serena suddenly stops walking and wheeled around to face Paolo."What are you talking about?" she asked, while looking obviously surprised.Paolo lets out a big sigh before he spoke again."What I was trying to say is, let's stop this pretend relationship." he clarifies.Serena wasn't able to speak for a few seconds because she was obviously surprised by Paolo's sudden decision.Why is he suddenly making a decision without consulting her about it? They should be making mutual decisions, not separate ones. She was able to regain her composure when Paolo spoke again."I know what you're thinking, Serena. But you don't have to worry, you can still protect your image and your reputation. You'll be the one who's going to break up with me infront of
