After we talked with Sharmienne, Denver and I went to our respective rooms. My mind was preoccupied with this plan of ours. They want me to be the 'bait' to lure Jake out. As expected. This was also the one that Noah told me. But I feel scared to execute this. Even with that thought, I know Elijah will be against it. Earlier, he was refraining himself. He even left our room that's why it was me and Denver who came to Sharmienne. He was mad with the idea of his co-members but he can't do anything about it. He knows the risks if we cancel their plan. It will damage me or the other targets. Napabuntong-hininga ako kaya napansin iyon ni Denver. Huminto siya nang malapit na kami sa kwarto ko at sumulyap sa akin. "Sigurado ka bang mapagkakatiwalaan natin si Sharmienne?" tanong niya. Tumingin ulit ako sa kaniya at tumango. I was the one who told them about Sharmienne being our ally. She's perfect and fits the duty to be our spy. As of now, siya na ang magbabantay s

The next few days, I always ended up being inside of the bathroom and feel like throwing up on the sink. There's nothing coming out except for my saliva. My body felt heavy as if I am having a fever. Lorecia noticed it that's why she's assisting me. “I-I’m fine,” sabi ko kaagad nang gumaan ang pakiramdam ko. Parang kakaiba ang aking tiyan. I'm not hungry nor what pero may gusto akong kainin. Weird.“Ma'am, isang oras na po kayo pabalik-balik sa banyo. Wala ka naman pong naisuka.”“Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit ako nagkakaganito pero huwag mo munang sabihin ito kahit kanino, okay?”"Okay, ma'am," sabi niya. "By the way ma'am, nagdala po ako ng lunch niyo." Tumango ako at bahagyang ngumiti sa kaniya. Nakita ko ang mga iyon sa bed side table. May kanin sa plato, Tinolang manok at isang basong tubig.I nodded and went to my bed. I eat my food while Lorecia is waiting for me. But when I tasted it, I almost vomit again. I pinched my nose and we

As what Elijah told me, we visited their house where he grew up. Dito raw ngayon nakatira si Selene at ang tatay niya. Ilang oras lang ang layo nito mula sa Madrigal's Tower. Pero ramdam ko ang bahagyang panginginig at panlalamig ng mga kamay ko nang makita ko na ang bahay nila.The exterior has a modern and very intricate design. It has two floors with wide windows. The colors used blended perfectly—blue, white and a bit of black. The guard opened the gate and my heart started pounding faster than normal.Mula sa harap ng pintuan, nakita ko si Selene sa kaniyang yellow dress at may nakaukit na ngiti sa kaniyang mukha. Sa tabi niya ay isang lalaki na nasa early 50's na. Pumunta si Elijah sa gilid ko at binuksan ang pinto ng sasakyan. Iginiya niya ako palabas at pareho naming hinarap kaniyang pamilya.“Dad... Selene...” Tawag niya sa kanila pagkatapos niyang tumikhim. “This is Arabella Rielle Rivera, my girlfriend.” Magalang akong ngumiti sa kanila matapos akong ipakilala ni Elijah.Ha

Sean Elijah Dela Fuente's P.O.V • Clivette UniversityI always wonder why people leave? Is it because they don't want their relationship anymore? Are they satisfied to see those people they left suffer? If it's yes, then it's a total bullsh*t!That's what always stuck in my mind. I always expect people to leave after they become part of our life. I always tell myself to not get attach to them. I'm already tired hoping that they will come back.'Like what she did to us.'I can't help but to shrugged that thought off my head. It's been years since I knew that my mom left us. I already felt contented that she's no longer with us. Umalis siya. Iniwan niya kami. But here I am, still hoping that I can hear her explanation. The woman who I love so much will also be the one to hurt me back by leaving. I heaved a sigh as I remember my dad always missing my mom. He can do something about it though. He's a hacker, for Pete's sake! But he never use

• February 12, 2020 •I was in Madrigal's Tower when I received a message from Lolo Elias that I need to attend his friend's birthday (he has the same name as my dad). Tsk, if I know, he will just look for a woman for me to marry. And I just can't decline him. He always put me into trouble and will definitely tell my father about my whereabouts. It's not like, I'm afraid of my father, I just don't want to stress him out. I'm already 25, for Pete's sake.After I talked with Rash Ferrer, I immediately went out to leave. He has a condo unit here too. Zaine Madrigal, one of our friends and the owner of the Madrigal Towers, even offered me one but I'm still thinking if I will accept it. Besides, Rash gave me a personal mission and it's about his sister. Riellana Ferrer... It seems familiar and sounds like 'her' name. I suddenly miss her. I immediately shook my head as I was in the elevator. I didn't have a lead. I've been looking for her. It's been like five years. But I won't give up.I
