Synopsis

“How can you tell me you never wanted it when you can’t deny that you loved every second of it, my love? Shyne, no one will ever make you feel the way I do, and I’ll spend every moment proving it. Not even time and death can separate us.” Shyne De Leon runs away from her past and her ex-lover by using her family’s power and influence to start a new life far away from her hometown. The memories and promises that her ex has given her made running away more difficult. A few years have passed, and the guilt of what she left behind started to haunt her. Her ex Rian Batista and their past rendezvous began to appear in her dreams more frequently. The dreams became darker, and Shyne started to have ghostly hallucinations of the man she had left. When the torture of her dreams became too much, her family’s money and influence could no longer save her from her own past and mind. As the untold past starts to unfold, will she kiss the truth and embrace her past? Or will she wallow in regret and enter her ex-lover’s offered damnation?

Chapter 1

PROLOGUE

"One more drink. Come on, you can't be that weak." I said to my friend as I downed another shot of alcohol from my own glass. "I'll drink that if you say pass, but I'd call you weak for the rest of the year." I watched my friend sway out of drunkenness.

"You know your father would shoot you dead on the spot if he sees you drunk, Shyne. He'll never forgive his perfect daughter if he finds her messing around with us." My classmate said as he slyly tried to grope one of my best friends, who was a little too drunk for my liking.

"Keep your hands to yourself, KP. I'll break that faster than you can drink that shot." I said in a playful yet warning tone. He reluctantly removed his hand from my friend's thigh and fixed his own school uniform.

We finished drinking just enough to make us tipsy but not yet drunk enough to pass out. We still had exams in an hour, and we had to make sure we were presentable enough to not get caught. Going to school and taking exams drunk for me was easy. The problem was making sure my stupid friends didn't make it obvious. They had peas for brains whenever they were intoxicated.

I finished the test as fast as I could to go straight to my boyfriend's house. I didn't love the guy, but he was a good trial run to try all the firsts I wanted. I didn't want to show him to anyone because he was definitely NOT my type. 

Being with Rian was stupid, but I'd rather be foolish and free than be stuck at home with people who don't understand me. All the money and awards will never be enough for me. I was looking for love, a home, and a place where I could be myself.

I knew wild activities were not what I would consider as my authentic self either. However, I dug my own grave in this pretend life I'm living, and I have no way out.

"What are you thinking?" Rian says as he covers me with the blanket. "You're looking into space again. Don't tell me you're too drunk to even feel anything." He said playfully while hugging me.

"You look like a psychopath with that mustache, so I guess that's distracting me," I said as I playfully hugged him back. "But no worries, hon, I won't call the cops on you for looking like a psychopath. I'd be in trouble too 'cause they'll see me with you." We just laughed and enjoyed ourselves for a few hours until I was decent enough to go home.

A few hours after I arrived at my house, my mom called me into the living room. Usually, I'd only be slightly nervous; however, my mom's eyes showed me otherwise. She is looking at me as if I was a walking disappointment, and the tears on the corner of her eyes added to the face of anger and disappointment that she was wearing plainly.

"Why were you seen by your aunt walking with an unknown guy in the middle of a small village a few kilometers from school?" She asked coldly. "How did you get there without anyone knowing, and who is that person?"

"He's my boyfriend, mom," I replied carefully. "I just visited him, and we're not doing anything wrong. Just leave it alone." I said and ignored her stares as I sat on the couch.

"I hired an investigator. He's an addict, a delinquent, and he didn't even finish his studies because he's wild and they can't afford his studies. Now, I want you to cut every communication with him and leave him. You are a De Leon, and your name as well as your father's name will be put to shame if you don't stop this." My mother ranted for an hour, and all I could do was nod.

My mind raised a hundred scenarios in a minute and planned out what I should do as soon as my mother allowed me to go back to my room. I was thankful for the perfect posture that I was trained to have, no matter the situation. If my family found out about Rian, I was positive that they would later find out about all of the crazy things that I was doing. An entire investigation could happen just to do a background check on my friends. If my father found out, the head of the clan would surely do everything in his power to polish the identity that I have tainted. Freedom was not an option as the eldest child of the boss of the De Leon clan.

"I can hire a killer to just shoot that boy, but I won't. But, it would be a waste of our family's money, and I don't want my uniform as a police officer to be tainted with his blood." My mother continued and said in disgust. "I'm giving you one last chance to get that boy out of your system before I take matters into my own hands." She looked me dead in the eyes. "Do not disappoint us, young lady. Never throw your future away for some bastard who has no future."

Leaving Rian isn't that bad, and honestly, I would gladly do it now that I have no choice. However, the bad thing is if my parents figure out that I haven't had my menstruation for nearly four or three months. I didn't even tell Rian I was having this problem. If I get pregnant at the age of twenty by a twenty-four-year-old out-of-school addict, then I'd be disowned for sure.

I left the room and went straight to my room, crying silently. I called because I had no idea how to get out of this mess for the first time in my life without getting busted. This is bad. The family can't know about this, or else both Rian and I would be dead meat. LITERALLY.

Chapter 1: Forcefully Yours
"Are you sure you want to go to Rian? You can just break up with him through text or call. I mean, everyone does that these days." Perry said after I told her of my mother's ultimatum. "You know I can't do that. The guy is too obsessed with me, and I have something to tell him in private too." She looked at me as if I grew two heads. "Don't tell me you're pregnant." I raised an eyebrow and shook my head in denial. "You BETTER not be pregnant, Shyne. Your mom and dad will shoot you. Oh my goodness, you said he respects you. I mean-" "I am not pregnant, okay? I just need to talk to him, because as far as I know, the guy is too obsessed, and I don't need a future stalker." We laughed as I went straight to Rian's house after school.

Chapter 2: VISITATIONS
I suddenly woke up screaming. It was all just a nightmare within another nightmare. Rian was nowhere near me, and I wasn't in my room or the flat. However, I was at the library this time, and my classmates looked at me with weird expressions while the others shushed me. I shakingly took all of my things and walked out of the library with hurried footsteps while avoiding everyone in the hallways. "You should really consider getting slimmer before you accidentally injure someone when you bump into them." A voice said as big hands held both my arms to stop me from mindlessly running away from the library. I looked up and saw dark eyes staring at me, filled with worry. "What happened? Why are you running away? Did something happen? Was it a bad dream again?" Randy asked as he led me to the nearest b

Chapter 3: DELETED FUTURE
"I love it when you play hard to get with me, my love." Rian's voice echoed as I kept running away from him. The trees were getting thicker and thicker, and I couldn't seem to lose him even if I tried. "You'll never lose me. You're mine, and I will never let you go." The voice was getting louder and louder. I could see lights from cars passing by in the distance, and I assumed it was a road up ahead. I could feel the air thicken, and I couldn't breathe. Rian's footsteps were getting closer, and I heard twigs breaking behind me. I finally reached the road, and I ran directly to the car. "Please let me in! A guy is chasing after me! Please open the door now!" I kept hitting the glass as the fog thickened and the driver opened the door. "Thank you! Oh, my goddess! Thank you so much! Please get me out of here!" I stuttered breathlessly a

Chapter 4: LIAR’S LETTERS
I kicked my leg hard, and I saw the rat flying across the room and ran outside of my open door. Perry screamed harder, and I was left in shock. My heart was beating like crazy, and I felt like the world was spinning as I lay back slowly on my bed.   "What the heck happened to you, Shyne?" Perry asked worriedly but softly. "I think the entire flat could hear you. They might think I'm trying to commit murder here. Did you dream of him again?" She was rubbing my arm to soothe me while I continued to stare at the ceiling.   "Perry, I cannot believe that this is happening to me. I made a mistake in the past, but I never expected to be tortured this much". My tears were now falling, and my throat felt like it was burning as I tried my best to tell Perry every det

Chapter 5: WALKING DISAPPOINTMENT
In the morning, I woke up tired and felt terrible due to stress and lack of sleep. I was inside the publication office with my juniors while recalling the day I confronted her mother about her possible pregnancy. Flashback… I came back home late and saw my mother, Lyna De Leon, in the living room. My mother looked like she wanted to explode, but she bit her tongue since my siblings were there. I could feel the dread that she perfectly hid. I felt the same as I looked at her composed face. The seemingly collected woman understood complicated cases, yet she failed to understand her daughter. “Why are you late? Where were you? I can't contact you for hours, and the security guard back in your school said you left after lunch” There was venom laced in her word

Chapter 6: BEDSHEET PROMISES
“Wow, sis, talk about obsession. We’re going to need a full-on food date today just to piece all of the puzzles together.” We rode in my car and went to the mall to talk and shop at the same time. “I can’t believe that out of all the guys that you’ve dated, you landed a voodoo addict for a stalker. I mean, I knew you were wild, but I would have never imagined you were wild enough to bag the spawn of Satan’s heart”. Perry tried to lighten up the mood, and I couldn’t help but smile at the support system that I had. “So what did you tell mom and dad for them to let their youngest child come all the way here without a bodyguard?” I’ve noticed; these past few months that the secret bodyguards my parents appointed to tail me, became lesser in numbers, and I assumed Izz

Chapter 7: WASTED CHANCES
"Please tell me I'm dreaming right now, and this is not real. Please tell me Rian didn't commit suicide," I felt like I could faint, and all I could hear was my ragged breathing and loud heartbeat. "This is all my fault, and I know he wouldn't have killed himself if I didn't leave him."   "Shyne, calm down and breathe," Perry held my arm, and Izzy took away my phone. "Don't faint on us, Shyne. You need to calm yourself down and remember that his decision to kill himself was his own choice. Do you hear me, Shyne?"   I heard Perry's words, but my vision was getting blurry, and I did my best to avoid passing out completely. Tears kept falling from my eyes as realization dawned on me.   "Perry, he killed himself because of me. He killed himself because of me, and he even dared t

Chapter 8: HIS ESCAPE AND HER PRISON
  The knock on the door repeated again, and this time, it was a bit louder. Izzy was the only one brave enough to open it, and since I've been seeing the shadow all day, I had to hold on to Perry as the three of us went to the door.   As soon as Izzy opened the door, no one was there. I screamed as Katherine's smiling face popped up from the left side of the door.   "Wow, you guys need to tone down your caffeine intake, you're too jumpy today. You guys need to get a life and get out of this room. You will all turn into one of those hermits if you won’t leave this place."   Katherine proceeded to go inside of the house while the three of us calmed ourselves down. She kept laughing, and only stopped a few seconds after we were seated on the sofa. &n

Chapter 9: KISSES, VOICES, AND PROMISES
I jumped out of bed, and Perry's head popped up under the covers as my ear-piercing scream echoed in the night. She instantly covered my mouth to stop any scream that threatened to come out. "What the heck do you think you're doing under the covers, Perry?! MY GOD! You are going to be the death of me even before this stupid curse could get me!" I felt like I did the ice bucket challenge, and every part of my body was shaking like crazy. It felt like the ice in my veins formed earlier out of fear suddenly melted and turned into lava. "You are such a noisy roommate, Shyne. Did you forget that you passed out last night because of the sleeping pills, and you nearly begged me to sleep beside you so you won't be afraid? I only agreed because it saved me time and energy
