"What now, Etincelle? Are you up for tonight's fun?" Morthena asked me with excitement."Where will be at tonight?""Let's go to Makati, E. It's gonne be fun! Philip and his friends will be there too!" She clapped as she giggled.We like to party and get wasted. It's our routine every weekend and if we are up for the fun. While you are still young, just enjoy your days. You can party all you want, get wasted and move on the following day. Lucky you are if you won't get hangover the following morning."Sure! Can I invite Thrante?" I asked them."Of course! But will she join us?"I cracked a laugh. How many times have I invited Thrante to a party? I lost count. But she always rejects me because club isn't her thing. She didn't like hanging out with strangers."At least she knows we invite her," I countered."Okay! And if she will join us, I

Summer was just around the corner. I worked out everyday to achieve the body goal that I wanted. Azy's wedding is getting near too so I had to maintain my figure."Thrante's eager to get annulled with Sebastian," Mom stated during our dinner. "Your Tita Katherine is also supportive. I don't think they won't win against the Marcados. They've done it before against the Imperial. There's no way they won't do it again.""Do you think that is normal, Mommy? Will it bring a shame to both families if people will learn about the annulment?""It surely will. But as much as I want to be excluded from this issue, I also want to support your cousin. In this generation, divorce and annulment is normal for married couples.""This is why I hate marriage," I grunted. "I'm not against them 'cause I know Baste was a good husband. Maybe they aren't just meant to last? They are not meant to be.""Maybe they are better off as separated, Etincelle. They need a break fro

"So, you're in good terms with Baste again?" I asked Thrante as she told me she's living with Baste again.I have no work today so I decided to meet Thrante. It's her day off too so I decided to visit her here in the penthouse."He offered me a 30 days of marriage. I just thought his offer sounds good and he promised to rewrite his statement once this agreement ends.""Then what? What if you will your mind?"She bit her lower lip. I can see how hard this was for her. But she looks like she's just go-with-the-flow set up and she has no back up plans."Look," I folded my arms. "if this agreement works, I hope you guys will get back together.""What for? We will be annulled after this.""So, it's fine with you that Baste will love someone else?" I asked, incredulous."If he wants to, who am I to restrain him?""You sound so confident. Did you find a better man already?" I accused."Me?" She chuckled with distinct moc

Folding my arms, I studied the face of Jonas who was standing mightily in front of me. He stood beside Joshua and a man I didn't recognize. He was out of out of my league, not even in my circle of friends."He's the client I was telling you," Joshua spoke up, referring to the stranger. "He has a land property in Aurora. He plans to renovate it. It's an old house and they want to turn it to a restaurant.""What era?" I asked and looked at the stranger."By the way," Joshua piped up. "It's rude to just discuss things without proper introduction, right?""I'm Architect Reyes," I introduced myself to the guy and offered him a handshake."Jacob Lozano," he smiled—it was benevolent, and accepted my hand.His hand was big and warm. I smiled warmly. He looked good. He was friendly and approachable.Jonas cleared his throat, jabbing the back of his palm again

"I was surprised that Jonas was there. I remembered he offered me a job too. Maybe that's the offer he was referring to. He said his friend is looking for an architect," I told Thrante. I recalled what happened yesterday."And? Have you talked to Jonas again?""I haven't yet. Someone called him yesterday when we were off to go. He called her Honey. Do you think that's his girlfriend?""I'm not sure. But I know someone whose name is Honey.""Really?" She nodded. "Who is she?""Honey Rallos, my family lawyer.""Oh," my lips formed in O shape. "Do you think there's a connection between the two? Isn't she a friend of Joshua?""I don't know," she shrugged. "Jonas is a friend of Joshua, I supposed.""They were batchmates.""Maybe Jonas and Honey were batchmates too?"I fell silent. What is it with me if they wer
