Chapter 31: Bastard"I got an invitation from Mr. Ramos because there will be a birthday party at his mansion. It was an exclusive party for elites. I will take you with me, you’ll be my partner."A week after he said that the girl in the picture is his sister and the reason behind, we are here again as if nothing had happened. I got chills especially when he said that. But he didn't elaborate, which left me confused. I was thinking about that girl all day and night and I couldn't sleep well because of that. I struggled to remember where I saw her sister until I just had a headache.I still clean his unit. I'm already counting the days. It’s March now and I think he has other plans besides me cleaning his unit. Since my cleaning schedule is only eight to twelve, I don't complain anymore because I can take Lip to school and pick him up till we get home together. His plan to make the whole month of March a hell will begin now."I'm not an elite. What am I going to do there? People at th

Chapter 33: Awake"You're really good at making a scene. I'm top one again in recent searches. Don't you know that my net worth increases when I'm trending like this?"I raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you make the scene and you kissed me in front of a lot of businessmen there at the party? After you kissed that crazy woman, you kissed me? You're disgusting." I said to him, being annoyed.He sat down on the couch. "She's Divine. She liked me for a long time. She always does that whenever she sees me. So what else can I do?""You're asking me?" I asked. "Well, shut your mouth and don't kiss me right after you kiss her. I didn't know you might have a disease and infect me."It's so disgusting. How many times do I resent myself for what he did? What he did at the party has reached various publishers and we are the content of the headlines. Looks like my family will know about what I'm doing, no doubt.The girls, on the other hand, were wowed by what I did last time. Until now, maybe I can hea

Chapter 35: Foul playDad died. Mom and Kira found out what had happened and were shocked about the bad news. They immediately went to the hospital and for the last time, they saw Dad's body again. Mom could not stop crying and could hardly feel sorry for him. I also feel sad and very shocked by what happened. I can’t imagine that it'll all end here.The cremation took place and Patry and I decided to bury Dad's urn immediately. I felt so drained and it looks like I wasn't the only one feeling it, we were all grieving and didn't know what to do. When I look at Mom, I can see under her eyes the swell from the tears. We were all very tired when the funeral was over and we just quietly went home. Kira and Patry said that they will accompany Mom first and let her stay in their house. I also thought that was good because there’s probably what Mom might do to herself. She will suffer more especially when she is left alone. Our house used to be empty now. Maybe Mom shouldn't go there first b

Chapter 37: Selena Weeks, months, years had passed. I can't imagine that it all passed so easily. And I also didn’t expect that after I achieved my freedom, that’s where I was blessed with the joy of life. They are right, there's always a rainbow after the rain. I was so overwhelmed and I didn’t know where to turn for help. At the end of the day, my expectation daily that only myself can help me, turns out they've been there for me too. I don't ask for help from others until I'm overwhelmed with my own problems. I thought I could do it alone. Just with Lip, and my daughter. "Mom, I'm going to school already. I might be late for enrollment. There seems to be a long queue at the cashier today, Chris chatted." I heard Lip say so I immediately gave him his lunch box with sandwiches and packed juice. I hissed. "For sure he reserved you in the queue again. I really didn't expect you two to be best friends and he will follow you when you transfer to Merkado." He just laughed and kissed me

Chapter 39: Jewels"Mom, why are you here with Manong Tasing?"I looked at Manong Tasing then smiled. I approached Selena, "Why? Can't I come here to pick up my daughter?" I asked and she smiled then kissed me on the cheek."Mom, my best friend gave these to me." I was stunned when she brought out white tulips again and then handed them to me.That was the reason why I intended to come here to school to pick her up. I want to see who she considered her best friend. Maybe those who’ll see what I'm doing will say I was so paranoid and all. But I can't stop myself from taking action because I'm overthinking. What if her best friend is a sexual predator who likes my daughter since she was young? What if he suddenly takes my daughter, kidnaps her or takes her organs and then sells them? How could I not think of that when they have known each other for so long. That's his way to fool my daughter."Selena, don't take things from that person you considered your best friend from now on."
