CHAPTER 2
publish date:
2026-02-01 14:42:21Bella woke up the next morning with her heart still racing. The taste of Raf’s lips lingered on hers, and kahit anong pilit niya, hindi niya maalis sa isip ang lalaki
“Ano ba ‘to sa akin?” she whispered to herself while sipping her morning coffee “Hindi ko siya kilala… pero bakit parang hindi ko siya malimutan?” Si Raf, meanwhile, hindi rin nagpahuli. By noon, may message na sa phone ni Bella Raf: “Missing you. Don’t pretend you’re not.” Bella stared at her phone, unsure how to respond. Heart beating fast, she typed Bella: “Stop teasing me. We barely know each other.” But deep down, alam niya, hindi niya kayang i-ignore si Raf. There was something dangerous about him, yes… pero mas masarap ang thrill By evening, Bella received another message Raf: “I have a place you’ll love. Just me, you, and no distractions. Tonight?” No distractions? Bella’s knees weakened. She knew it was risky—very risky—but curiosity won “Fine,” she typed back. “Pero this is just… friendly, ha.” When she arrived at Raf’s penthouse that night, she felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. Raf greeted her with that same confident grin “You look… stunning,” he said, pulling her into a hug that lingered a second too long “Raf…” Bella murmured, feeling her face heat up “I told you… just friendly.” “Friendly?” Raf teased, inching closer “With this chemistry? I don’t think we know the meaning of that word.” Bella swallowed hard. Raf’s nearness, the faint scent of his cologne, and the way he looked at her made her knees tremble. Her mind screamed “This is a mistake!” but her body whispered “Do it.” They sat on the couch, music soft in the background, champagne glasses in hand. Raf’s hand brushed hers occasionally, every touch sending shivers down her spine “So… tell me about you,” Raf said, leaning closer. “The real Bella. Not the perfect girl everyone sees.” Bella hesitated. Usually, she’s private. Pero sa kanya, sa presence ni Raf, parang wala siyang choice “I… I study a lot. I help my mom. I try to stay out of trouble,” she said, voice soft “That’s boring compared to you, I guess.” Raf chuckled, tracing a finger along her jawline “Boring? I don’t think so. You’re… interesting. Dangerous, even. Don’t lie—you liked the party last night. You liked me teasing you.” Bella felt her heartbeat speeding up “Stop saying that,” she whispered, though part of her wanted more Raf leaned in slowly, his eyes locked with hers. “I don’t want to stop,” he murmured, before capturing her lips in a slow, teasing kiss This time, Bella didn’t resist. Hands tangled in his hair, lips moving in sync, the couch suddenly too small for the fire that sparked between them. Every kiss, every touch, every whisper made her forget logic, rules, and the world outside “Raf… wait—” she gasped. But Raf only smiled against her lips, pressing her closer. “No waiting. Not tonight,” he whispered, his hand sliding to the small of her back. Bella felt her body respond even though her mind screamed “This is wrong!” Every nerve alive, every sense tingling. She couldn’t believe she was doing this—but she wanted to. She needed to Hours passed in a blur of whispers, kisses, and touches that left both of them breathless. Raf’s presence was intoxicating, dangerous, and addictive all at once. And though Bella knew this could never end well, she couldn’t stop herself from wanting more Finally, they paused, foreheads pressed together, breathing heavily “Bella…” Raf murmured “You feel it too, right? This… us?” Bella’s chest ached. She nodded slowly “Yeah… I feel it.” Raf smiled, dangerous yet tender “Then stop thinking. Just feel. Forget the world. Tonight, it’s just us.” And just like that, Bella gave in to the temptation. The night stretched endlessly, a dance of passion, whispers, and the kind of intimacy that left no room for regret—at least, not yet As dawn crept through the penthouse windows, Bella sat against Raf, exhausted, breathless, and emotionally tangled. She knew this was only the beginning A beginning that would change everything… her heart, her mind, and perhaps even her life.

You Were My Favorite Mistake SPECIAL CHAPTER
(Raf’s POV)There are things you only understand when it’s too late to fix them.I used to think love was about intensity.About chemistry.About the way someone makes your pulse race.I didn’t know love was also about choice.About consistency.About staying.And by the time I learned that—You were already gone.Bella,I don’t know why I’m writing this.You’ll probably never read it.Maybe that’s the point.Some apologies aren’t meant to be delivered.They’re meant to be understood.I remember the first time I saw you.You weren’t trying.That’s what struck me.You weren’t performing.You weren’t competing for attention.You were just… steady.And I think that scared me from the beginning.Because I was used to chaos.I was raised in noise.In love that came with conditions.In affection that could disappear overnight.So when you loved me calmly—I didn’t know how to trust it.I mistook peace for boredom.And intensity for meaningYou asked me once:“Do you love her?”I didn’t answ
You Were My Favorite Mistake EPILOGUE
Twenty-five years later.Time is strange.It doesn’t ask permission before it reshapes you.One day you’re a girl crying on the floor over someone who couldn’t choose you.And the next—You’re standing in a quiet kitchen, gray beginning to touch your hair, watching your daughter pack for college.Bella leaned against the doorway as her now-grown daughter folded clothes into a suitcase.“Mom,” she sighed dramatically, “stop looking at me like I’m moving to another planet.”Bella smiled.“I’m not. I’m just memorizing this version of you.”Her daughter rolled her eyes but smiled back.“You’re being emotional.”“Occupational hazard of motherhood.”But it wasn’t just motherhood.It was memory.It was knowing how fast life moves.It was understanding that some chapters end before you realize they’re closing.Later that night, after the house fell quiet, Bella sat on the porch.Daniel joined her, carrying two mugs of tea.They didn’t talk much anymore.Not because there was nothing to say.B
You Were My Favorite Mistake CHAPTER 20
The rain began quietly, almost apologetically, as if the world itself knew that something irrevocable was about to happen.Bella stood in the old café where it all started—the café where she and Raf had met by chance all those years ago. The smell of fresh coffee and baked bread hit her senses, instantly transporting her back to the time when life was simple, when love was complicated, and when mistakes were the kind that carved themselves into your soul.She adjusted the scarf around her neck, feeling the weight of her decision. She was here not because she expected reconciliation but because she owed herself this—the last meeting. The last acknowledgment of the life that could have been, the life that never was.And there he was. Raf. Older, taller, and yet… still carrying that same energy that had once made her heart race and crumble all at once. He was standing by the window, rain tracing silver lines down the glass, and for a moment, they just looked at each other, two people who
You Were My Favorite Mistake CHAPTER 19
Ten years later.Time doesn’t erase.It softens.It reshapes.It teaches you how to carry memories without letting them carry you.And Bella had learned how to carry hers well.The house was louder now.Two children instead of one.Homework on the dining table.Crayons under the couch.Laughter that echoed through hallways once silent.Bella stood in the kitchen, slicing fruit while her daughter — now fourteen — complained dramatically about school.“Mama, why do boys act like they don’t care even when they obviously do?”Bella paused.There it was.Life’s quiet irony.She leaned against the counter.“Because sometimes,” she said gently, “they’re still learning what they want. And sometimes they’re afraid to choose.”Her daughter rolled her eyes.“That’s annoying.”Bella smiled.“Yes. It is.”If only the younger version of her could see this moment.If only she could tell her—One day, you’ll give advice without your voice shaking.Later that evening, after dinner, Bella received an e
You Were My Favorite Mistake CHAPTER 18
Five years later.Hindi na masakit banggitin ang pangalan niya.Hindi na bumibigat ang dibdib kapag may lugar na nagpapaalala ng nakaraan.Hindi na siya natutulala kapag may kantang dati’y sinasayaw nila sa kusina habang umuulan.Five years.And Bella was no longer the girl who survived heartbreak.She was the woman who built a life beyond it.Sunday morning.Sunlight poured through the large windows of their home.May amoy ng kape. May mahina na tugtog ng jazz sa background. May tunog ng maliliit na paa na tumatakbo sa hallway.“Mama!”Napangiti siya bago pa man bumukas ang pinto ng kwarto nila.A small body climbed onto the bed.Her daughter.Four years old.Soft curls. Bright eyes.And a laugh that sounded nothing like heartbreak.“Good morning, sunshine,” Bella whispered, kissing her forehead.From the doorway, Daniel leaned casually, holding two mugs.“You both conspired to wake me up early again,” he joked.Bella smiled at him.That steady smile.That quiet certainty.Not butter
You Were My Favorite Mistake CHAPTER 17
There’s a strange kind of peace that comes after closure.Not happiness.Not excitement.Just… calm.And sometimes that calm feels foreign when you’ve been used to chaos.Bella used to think love had to feel intense to be real.Now she understood—Real love felt steady.And steady felt quiet.Six months after the gala.Bella was sitting inside a sunlit café, reviewing architectural drafts on her tablet. She had expanded her firm. She had clients waiting. She had meetings scheduled for weeks.She had built something that no one could take away.Across from her sat Daniel.Gentle smile. Observant eyes. The kind of man who listened more than he talked.“Coffee’s getting cold,” he teased softly.She blinked and laughed lightly. “Sorry. Deadline brain.”“I like this version of you,” he said.“Which one?”“The one who doesn’t look like she’s waiting for something to fall apart.”She held his gaze.He wasn’t wrong.There was a time when she subconsciously expected happiness to be temporary.
