I ignored Gio until we got on the yacht to return to our resort. I was annoyed because Anne suddenly sat between us instead of sitting next to me. I really want to push Anne, but I'm just holding it back. "I want to pull Anne's hair; she's very annoying; she's sticking her ass to our boss; what a bitch," Aira whispered. I just ignored her. "Shut up," I flatly said."As for you, Scarlet. He fucking devirginized you, and you had nothing to say––Ouch!" I pinched her because she was so noisy. She deserved it. "Shut up," I said. Aira just stuck her tongue on me. Neither of us said a word. When we returned to the resort, I immediately got off and quickly went to the resthouse. I entered my room and lay down. I didn't expect Gio to treat me like that earlier. After what happened to us on the Island, why did he ignore me? So, is Anne his new victim? Damn him! What an asshole! I don't want to stay here, it's better if I go to our town, our place is close to here. I would no longer go with

The aroma of fish that my mother cooked swirls in my nose. Ugh! I missed this. "Sorry about our dish, iho. I know you're not used to eating this but we can't find any meat right now, the meat was so rare that no one would sell it here in our barangay," mother said. Dried fish, sardines, and fried eggplant were our dishes today. I don't know why our viand was like this. There was hidden meat, large fish, crab, shrimp, chicken, and bacon in the refrigerator. It just happened to be in our store. My forehead was frowning but when I saw dad's smile at him, I knew why. This is probably a trial for Gio. I just laughed at him. "I-it's okay. I can't be picky about what to eat," Gio exclaimed. Mom was happy as well as my father."Oh hey, let's eat. Let's pray first. Scarlet, you lead the prayer," mother ordered and I nodded. Gio curled up next to me and frowned when he was looking at the dried fish. I just shook my head and started to pray. "In the name of the father, son, and the holy spir

After he chopped the wood, we fetched some water. I'm the one who filled the pail and he's the one who lifted the bucket. I tried to lift a small bucket but he snatched it from me. "No, Honey. Don't lift this," Gio said but I was too stubborn. "I can carry it myself, the bucket was just small," I answered. "No—" He didn't finish what he was going to say when I let go of my bucket and slipped away. I screamed in fear and panic. I was ready to feel the pain of slipping, but instead of falling on the floor, I felt a strong arm on my body. His hand was on my waist, hugging it tightly. Suddenly, my heart beat fast due to the closeness of our faces. He was staring at me and I was staring at him in shock. His sweet smile flashed and I blinked many times. "Th-Thank you!" "I told you, no need to lift the small bucket. You're stubborn, Honey," he said seriously and picked up the bucket on the floor. He filled it with water and left me, not even paying attention to me. What is his proble

"'Mom, we were going to the park, we were going to dance there. Is it okay?” I said to Mom. "No problem, my daughter. Just be careful.” I smiled at Gio, said "yes" to him and we appeared our hands secretly. Mom was very strict, especially when there was a full-fledged dance in the park like this. She said that maybe something bad might happened to us, she'll be worried. It was a miracle and she agreed. "It's a good thing mom agreed," I said. "Well, of course. Your boyfriend is handsome, ayt?" he answered and pulled away from me. “Yeah, right!!” I snorted. "It's true, come on, the party has already started." He pulled me away. "Mom, we're leaving!" he shouted at my mother. "Alright, be careful!" “Yes, mom!” We walked a few minutes to the park. It's a bit far from our house but it's walkable. When we got close I heard the sound system and people screaming. I see someone dancing too, they are having so much fun. I saw Nico and Sharmaine together. Nico's face was frown

"Mom and dad, we're going now," Gio said to my family and waved at them. We were going to the city because we have a job there. "Alright, son, be careful when driving," answered my mother. "Auntie, don't worry, we'll take care of Scarlet," Aira said to them. "Thank you very much for visiting us. We were very happy, especially Patpat.” Patpat suddenly burst into tears. I am currently carrying her."Sister, I will miss you!" she exclaimed while crying and hugged me tightly. "I'll miss you too Patpat, don't worry sister will come back her again. I will buy you a lot of chocolates when I came back. Do you want that?” I asked. She nodded, the redness and swelling of her eyes was so obvious. "Yes," she replied. "So don't cry anymore, look at Aunt Aira, she will turn into monster if you cry," I said while laughing. Aira frowned as she looked at me. Even Tom and Gio were laughing too. Patpat was afraid of Aira, because sometimes she scolded her for being naughty. “Mom!” Patpat yelled a
