It was like a roller coaster ride. When you are on the top, it feels like heaven and when you’re quickly going down, it feels like your intestines were being dug out from your stomach. Life isn’t always full of ups – it also has it downs that makes people wanted to do things they normally wouldn’t do. That was how it was for Rosine Vista.  She was never the most beautiful woman in her grade when she was a young girl, nor the smartest in the class. She was always in the corner. What was only striking on her was her dull hair. She was born with neither a brown nor black hair.  As the years passed, her hair gradually turned to a dull blonde until only its roots were a gradient of dull brown to dull black.  ‘Dull’ was always her nickname – not until she met him on an alley one day, when the rain was pouring heavily from the heaven.  The sky was dark, there were thick clouds, the cold air was blowing – there were only the sound

Chapter 51: I desire what's yours ⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅∙∘☽༓☾∘∙•⋅⋅⋅•⋅⋅⊰⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅⋅•⋅It was already late than usual when I got to school.  If it weren’t for my mother arguing with me early in the morning, I would’ve been able to get here earlier. ‘Thankfully, Mir was with me.’When I was mindlessly walking in alleyway, Mir appeared out of nowhere holding a bag of clothes. I asked him to get me to the nearest place that I can change clothes and a room to stay for a night. My mother should allow me to come back by tomorrow. He also prepared a breakfast with me – or should I say he bought me a breakfast? Anyway, I was getting hungry that I shoved everything he brought to my mouth. Even though it was a simple egg a

Chapter 53: Hold it in!    Baybayin? What’s that? I’m sure that’s one of those chants used for black magic.  I stared at the bottle wondering what could that mean.  ‘This won’t kill me, right?’ Hmm, this sweet drink tasted like a sweet poison. If this is a poison, then I should’ve felt something inside my  stomach, but I only felt energetic. Well, there was always the ‘calm before the storm’. If Heather really wants to kill me, then she should’ve planned it from the beginning.  When I first saw her, I thought that she was just some bratty rich heiress and I can bring her down with just one simple move. But instead, I was the one who was humiliated in the end.  I sold my dignity already when I deliberately fell on the ground and cried out. I expected her to smack me with her bag or books or something like that – because wealthy people don’t like commoners like us touching them, even if it was t

Chapter 55: You shall not…“What do you mean with this…?”I looked at Heather unbelieving at what she wants me to do. “Do you want me to be your…?”I asked her just to make sure that I wasn’t dreaming now or else I would want to wake up so bad. She nodded her head as she elegantly drink the juice on the table. It makes me angrier that I just couldn’t strangle her neck to kill her. She then slowly opened her mouth. “Since you so badly wanted to be with me everyday, sign that and you can live here 24/7.”“Be your maid?”“Why not? I will pay you much better than the café you are working now, just be my personal maid.”“Personal maid? Heather, this – ”“Don’t worry, everyone would not say anything about you being my personal maid. What do you think?”

Chapter 57: Realizations  ∘₊✧──────✧₊∘ I know it was very blind of me not to see Jean’s changes these past few months, and I also know how it was coward of me to push him away. I act like someone mighty and upright, saying to myself that I won’t feel this way towards Jean, but I know – I know that wasn’t the case anymore.  When he almost kissed me earlier, I didn’t realize I was expecting him to kiss me. My conscience was always telling me that cannot, I should not – I must not. However, I know myself that feelings are something I simply cannot stop from growing. It doesn’t disappear rather, you were just denying the truth.  Now I know, I definitely like Jean – the male lead of this world. Not just because he was the male lead and he was  handsome, but because I was touched when he told me he was willing to protect me.  Though I am hesitating to believe him for now, I think that can wait until the future.
