Chapter Fifty OneI looked up and stretched my eyes to give the access of mascara on my eyelashes."There... perfect!" The gay makeup artist exclaimed after he applied it on me.I smiled a little bit and let him do the rest on my face. In front of me is the vanity mirror with ring lights on the both side of it. I can freely see my reflection on the mirror and I still can't believe I made it. Not that near yet but I'm proud because I knew I really made it.It's our graduation today and everyone's excited for the ceremony that's going to happen later. Finally, right? I know I can't make it with all by myself. Thanks to those who stayed until this milestone of mine. Without them, I don't think I can make it through... this far.The makeup artist's done with me after almost two hours. I thanked him and he even pinched my cheek for the last time before he left the room. I'm sur

Chapter Fifty Three|Yukenzo Cabrera's POV|I have a crush on her. I tried to control my feelings because I know it's going nowhere, she's not the type who will acknowledge it, she's different... unique, so unique. I can't like her because I dislikes her personality. Bad girls's aren't my type.But everything came crashing down that prom night event. I felt my heart sank and a very unfamiliar feeling were convulsing that time. I have praised her beauty before, of course only in my head, but that time... I felt like Ito forbidden if I didn't voice it out... how beautiful she is with that long crimson red gown.I thought... I just thought I like her. That I'm just attracted. That's why I confessed, everything I've been feeling about her. It's as if I'm ready to commit but not, it's confusing as hell but I just followed what my heart wants, for the first time.

Chapter Fifty FiveI blinked for a seconds before getting up to bed. That's when memories last night flashed back in my mind. I fell asleep while crying in grandma's lap. I wonder if she's awake by now?I stood up and walked towards the window, I saw few raindrops on it. The sun was rising now, live and bright. I sighed and arranged the white curtains.Guess I need to live this new life. I need to prove that I can live without them, that I can be independent...I started fixing the bedsheets. My eyes darted to the picture frames on the drawer, there's a lot of mom's portrait, grandma and grandpa's picture, them, being together. A picture of a happy family. I took one of it and stared.Why does things need to be left this way? Why does they needed to leave that early? I wonder how grandma dealt with all the pain by herself. I'm guilty. I'm not even there to mourn with her,

Chapter Fifty Seven"Welcome to Bella Amélia, Sir!" Yuna interrupted, that's when I realized we've been staring at each other for too much.I, slowly, looked down. He imemdtely looked away. My heart was pounding loudly and I really hate it. I just hope it's because I'm nervous.Okay, where's my guts now?"What are you looking for? I can guide you!" I'm wondering a bit why she became more energetic all of sudden.Yukenzo's eyes darted to me again and I wanted to punch myself for buying his every gaze. He matured but I don't know why I feel like he's still the same Yukenzo I left years ago. From wearing a complete uniform to an expensive corporate attire. I can't deny how gorgeous he is. From the past years, yes, I admit, I've never resisted taking news from them on the other side. And based on my sources, he graduated with a degree to be proud of. He's a successful l

Chapter Fifty NineI'm not moving even so, the maids opens the gate for us. I swear, I don't know what to say right now! This whole thing is shocking the shit out of me.Should I retreat? Should I go back to the car instead and let Yuna there?But on the other hand, why? Why, Vanez? Why you seem so bothered? Why does it affects you, still? Like the old times, huh? Many has changed now. What if it was all coincidental? That they forgotten about your existence since the day you're gone? We never knew.So, I composed myself and breathed deeply, fixed my suit and held my purse tightly. I shouldn't get bothered. Let's bring back the unbothered me."You're from...?" One maid asked after she opened the gate.My eyes found those curious and longing ones. I felt a bit uneasy as Anya and mine met. She's beside her co-maid, staring at me like I'm some unknown specie
