Prologue

Jupiter Sephiran Acosta is a closeted gay. He dated numerous men in private, wore lipstick and wig in secret, and strutted every gay bar in town in disguise. The last thing he want for his father is to find out that he's gay. 'Else, he'd be kicked out of the company as a CEO or worse...his father would disown him! But when things started to slowly unfold, his desperation to cover up his sexuality leads him to a desperate measure. Perhaps a girlfriend could help him clean up his name? And who else would be the perfect candidate for that? Ah, yes! Juno, his crazy secretary who once confessed his undying love for him. ***** The buzzer echoed loudly, causing a strong vibration inside the gymnasium after the audiences screamed and jumped in solidarity. Their banners swayed and dance in happiness as the commentators started announcing the final champion of the basketball game. Andrew, our team c

Chapter 1

The watch on my wrist reads eight-thirty five in the morning which hurled me in panic. It's the first day of the final week and my first exam would take place this nine! I almost tripped on the front porch stairs on my way out while trying to chase my Uncle's car.Due to my desperation to arrive in time, I knocked on the car's window; even when I'm completely aware he'd scream on my face after I just touched one of his prized possessions. School is half an hour away from the house and if I won't do this, I might fail one of my subjects. This wouldn't be a problem to me had my professor for the first exam isn't the most terror and inconsiderate person I've ever known my entire life. I nearly rolled my eyes. Why am I being surrounded with loathsome and unrighteous persons? What have I done so punishable in my life that He put me in this kind of environment. Whatever the answer is, it doesn't matter right now 'cause I'm already running late!The

Chapter 2

The auditorium was packed with students in their graduation gowns, holding their diplomas and academic cap while cheering in utter joy after the ceremony and awarding just finished. Their parents were all beside them, taking pictures while proudness was all etched on their faces, nearly tearing up.“Let’s take a picture, guys… for remembrance!” One of my classmates shouted while motioning for us to come closer towards the grand podium.I happily obliged. Who knows when we’ll be seeing one another again? Maybe ten years later for a batch reunion? I’ll miss them for sure, even when I’m not that close to most of them. I hope for everyone’s dream and career to flourish after this… ‘cause that’s where I’m surely heading to.“Hey, put Jupiter in front! You cannot have him in the back with all that medals and awards!” Jacob shouted from a distance. He’s with his ow

Chapter 3

Jupiter is asking me out to a sushi date. A date. A freaking date! Turns out I didn’t embarrass myself after all. Thank goodness I have the courage to shoot my shot! Those glitters I stitched on the envelope are quite expensive… but it’s worth it!“What’s with your face?” Lilac friskily bumped me on the shoulder. I laughed at her as I continued washing the remaining dishes on the sink. My shift is about to finish in an hour so I told Jupiter to meet me after work.It’s our school break so I decided to spend the whole summer earning money. I’m currently working as a waitress and dishwasher at a cheap eatery near our campus. During the night, I’m freelancing in different online platforms for extra money. What I learned in life is not to settle in one income. You need side hustles in case you get fired from your main job.“Well…” I giggled before facing her. “My crush aske

Chapter 4

Juno must have thought it was an invitation for a date. Seeing how she dressed up for the first time since I met her made the guilt in my chest tripled. Her face was glowing. The dress hugged her body beautifully. And the way she walks in those high heels made her looked like a supermodel.I looked away from her and bit my lower lip guiltily. She’s been extremely silent since she entered my car, unlike before wherein she already got a story to tell and a joke to present. I could even taste the air of awkwardness suffocating the two of us.The music was my way to give her a hint. But instead, I ended up looking like a tasteless motherfucker in her eyes. How else am I gonna tell her that we can’t date ‘cause one of us isn’t straight? I don’t want to embarrass myself, or casually spread my secret when I couldn’t even tell my own father about it.“I’m sorry…” I looked away and apologized as I

Chapter 5

Jupiter’s reason insulted me to the core.He’s gay… and he uttered those words bravely in front of my face with his whole damn chest. I shook my head in disbelief; a sarcastic smile was plastered on my face.Seriously, that guy… how gullible does he think I am? He was definitely dressed for the girls last night. His white dress shirt with its sleeves rolled up to his elbow, khaki pants and black formal shoes, jet black hair - neatly pushed back from his forehead which gave me a good view of his divine facial features…I sighed dreamily. It is more believable for Jacob to come out as gay than him. That guy is so clingy with his friends, so loud and loves to gossip around. Meanwhile… Jupiter is reserved and mysterious. He’d definitely pass as a fictional leading man.It is my day off from the eatery so I spend the whole day freelancing… and daydreaming about Jupiter. I’ve been trying t

Chapter 6

I stared at the girl beside me and shook my head in disbelief. Juno has been drinking for hours now and I couldn’t even count anymore how many cans she had downed. Her cheeks have gone red and her eyes looked languid, as if they’re about to shut close any minute now.I breathed out stressfully. This girl will be the death of me. Unbelievable! I almost piss on my pants after she made fun of me in front of everyone. Had I know this would happen, I wouldn’t have told her about my deeply buried secret.Millicent is obviously aware and suspicious now! Although I could feel that she’s been having doubts about me for a very long time now but Juno’s question probably just confirmed her suspicions.And how was she able to distinguish Millicent’s sexuality that fast? It wasn’t even a question because she was so sure about it. But when it comes to me… my words and evidences wouldn’t suffice? Really unbeli

Chapter 7

And just like that, Jupiter saved the day again. My day. Or my night, rather.We drove to the center of the city and I couldn’t help but be amazed with the flickering lights of the buildings all over the metro. I haven’t been here in a while since life could be quite high maintenance here. I used to be able to afford to step in the beautiful streets of this city when my parents were still alive… until life became horrible for me.“I used to eat dinner on that place every Sundays,” I absentmindedly uttered while pointing on the fancy restaurant we passes by through the window. “Their chicken wings are the best. And their salads? Superb!”“Couldn’t agree more. Their Caesar salad is one of the best.” Jupiter uttered beside me.I turned to look at him and grinned. “Let’s stop by and eat! Your treat.”His brow immediately arched. “My treat? Aren’t yo

Chapter 8

Calvin.That guy is mostly the reason why I rarely visit my condominium. I hate seeing his face. The very mere shadow of his existence makes my stomach churn in disgust. I thought he already moved out of the building but turns out he’s still here and probably camping with his pawns… looking out for a new victim.I slammed my hands on the steering wheel after my car got stuck in the middle of a heavy traffic. It’s nearly twelve, what’s causing this commotion?My phone suddenly rang, flashing an unknown number on the screen. I ignored it but the screen lit up again to leave a message. Unknown Number :Don’t bother going back, sissy. I already called someone to pick us up. – Millicent I felt my face grew hot at the way she just addressed me. Sissy?!Well, okay… it kinda felt good being acknowledged like that. But I’m still not comfortable having a

Chapter 9

"Good night, Ma’am!” The hotel staff smiled at me as I walked her towards the door. “Hope you’d enjoy the meal! I’ll come back tomorrow morning for your breakfast.”My eyes widened at her as I felt the sparkle in them grew stronger. “There’s also a breakfast? That’s nice! What time will you be here?”“Uhm… Sir Seph told us to deliver your meal before eight in the morning. Do you have a preferred time, Ma’am?”I giddily clapped my hands. Jupiter, once again, being an angel to me. How could I not fall for him even more when he’s doing this?I sighed dreamily in my head before gazing back at the bell girl. “I actually wake up around six so you may bring it here at seven. And I have to leave early so…”The bell girl laughed. “You looked like you had a nice drink today. You sure you can still wake up like the usual tomorrow?&
