Masuk“Not yet, but there’s this someone I really like now,” she said with a giggle. My eyes widened a bit in excitement. “Do Arzhel and your friends know about that man?” I teased. She laughed. “They do, but it’s kind of complicated,” she said. “Oh, I’m sure you can figure that out,” I said. Knowin
I was about to turn around to mingle with his friends, but the moment I turned around, Stephanie appeared in front of me. She startled me a little, but I didn’t make it obvious. She was giving me her sweetest smile, but since I felt some eyes on us, which I was sure were from Arzhel’s friends, I w
I looked at the people around the table. Then back to Stephanie. I saw her looking at Arzhel’s friends. She gave them a full, wide smile. They smiled at her too, but it was quick. What was wrong with them? They knew Stephanie as the sweet girl. That was why they were always excited every time the
“Oh my gosh, I miss your cooking,” Liezel said, her eyes sparkling. I smiled, and we all went to the dining table. “There they are,” Lenie said when she saw us. She first came to me and hugged me. “You look stunning in your elegant black dress, Lenie,” I complimented her. The diamonds in her d

“If you kiss a man without a mustache, it would feel plain… like it is missing something,” he said. I swallowed again. I now understood what he meant. The last time we kissed, he did not have any mustache, so I wondered how it would feel and taste if… I shook my head to set aside those thoughts.
I fell asleep again that morning. When I woke up, no one was in the room. It was too quiet that I started to get paranoid, until I started to hear some gunshots. I was not sure if I was imagining things or if I was still dreaming. I covered my ears, hoping to stop the sound of gunshots that I was h
“No,” I said. “I did not even see them.” Inspector Reyes nodded. “Do you have any idea where Jarred might go after this?” he asked. I shook my head. “No. But I wish I knew.” The inspector leaned back slightly. “Ms. Analia, we also received information that you have been investigating him,” he s
