Lahat ng Kabanata ng If I wasn't the Real One: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

It's been a week since I got discharged from the hospital. I think I collapse to the fact that 'Aunty Blare' was my mom. Or maybe, I was flooded with heavy, weary thoughts. Even though I am still laying on the bed staring at this empty ceiling, I see a picture inside my head. I don't know what's up to me, but it's like I've been playing with fate. My heart skips a beat when I hear the voices inside my head saying, "This child should rot to death!" Likewise, "I shouldn't have given birth to you." A tear escaped from my eye as I know for a fact that those words are for me. Suddenly, my left ear buzzes, and it kind of hurt me. I clenched my hand as I held my hair, trying to ease myself. "I promise I will save you from this stupid place, Dre--." I heard a kid's voice, and I am utterly confused by the context he is saying. Who is this kid referring to? What does he mean? Then, I heard a knock on my door. I turn

My escape plan? Ha! Failed! Jericho Arison, huh! His whole existence is a bluff! I don't even feel the sincerity in every ounce of his words. 'Erina, I am your husband.' I can't shake that off in my head. Now, this man is keeping me around his fingers, toying with my emotions."Erina?" He called me, and I snap out from spacing out. He pulls me back to the reality that he is dragging me back to our 'home' while holding hands. We arrived at the front door as he keeps his gentleman persona to me. He smoothly lets me inside the house, closing the front door silently. "Have you eaten your dinner?" Courteously, he asked. Then, he takes off his black suit and loosens his tie. That's kinda hot!No, no, no! Shit! I shouldn't be thinking about it. I shouldn't be thirsting for this man because he is too suspicious. "Erina, you've been spacing out." He said, walking closer towards me. I instinctively bac

I dashed to my room and started to pack up my things. My heart is thumping inside, and I couldn't remove these tears away from my delicate cheek. I check on my drawers to find something, like evidence. Frankly, this is upsetting as my mind is jelly. Abruptly, I found a cellphone. It's mine, isn't it?Sniffling, I swear. "Shit, shit, Shit!" I hated the feeling that my anger turns into tears. I look up as I wiped my tears away. Unexpectedly, someone barged inside my room without knocking on the door. "Honey, are you okay?" When I heard his voice, I instantly dropped my mouth wide open. I bet he sees my eyes widening as he is dazed by the look on my face. Drifting my gaze away, I said. "What brings you here?" Watching him carefully, he sighed as he walks to the sofa to take a seat. Slowly, I hide my phone in my pocket. "We should talk. It's been days, Erina. Stop giving me off a cold shoul

My mom took me home because she believed that I wasn't in the right state of mind. Thus, I wasn't planning on going back to that mansion and starting a fistfight with Jericho. What he did to me was upsetting, unforgivable! Nevertheless, I started to have some recollection of my memory. Like I was cooking in the rusty kitchen alone in a small apartment. I must be very lonely.Were these memories flashing in my head because of my vulnerability? I mean, I almost got hit by a car, though. "Honey, are you alright?" My mom's eyes dew as she asked me how was I feeling.If I were, to be honest, I would have said I am feeling wrecked by a wrecking ball. However, I shrug it all off as I replied, "I am feeling better." "I'll give you time by yourself, then," My mother said, turning around to leave me alone in my room. "Mom, wait!" I exclaimed, rushing to her side. Then, she turns around to give me an uncertain look by raising he

"Well, I am your knight and shining armor. Shall I say it like that?" His eyebrow raises, making him so cocky. His aura itself oozed with sexiness. Damn, how can someone like him become so hot? I bet he is hotter when he is not all undressed, naked. Hold up, what did I imagine?! Embarrassed, I looked away as my cheek is starting to burn, tinting red like a tomato.  "I see that you liked my body so much that you get drowned in it. Don't worry, soon it will be yours." He confidently stated, and everyone near us gasps and got choked by their own spits. Instinctively, this man gave them a venomous gaze as a warning, surprising me with his nature.  As the people turn away from us, he snorted and blurted. "Good." "What the hell?" I hissed irritatedly. This guy knows how to drive me insane in less than a minute.  "Anyway, should we catch up? We have so many things to talk about." He then seated next to me, gazing into my eyes like a pr
