CHAPTER 20

"Ma? Hello to my beautiful mother. Are you still with me?” I just came back to my senses when the person in front of me, Audrey, was waving at me. "It's like you were thinking so deeply a while ago. What's the matter, ma?"“Uh… it's something… you don't have to think about. Just finish what you're eating before we go straight to your singing lesson. Okay?”From her school, we should have headed to Bernard's Singing Studio, and in this case, Audrey suddenly asked me to stop the car to eat at a simple eatery we passed. I even argued with her if she was sure that we were going to eat in this kind of place... well, usually the food in this place is hit by flies before the customer even eats.But then again... Audrey wins the battle against me. So, I just let her eat, but I... she would never force me to eat in this kind of place. I come from a non-luxurious family, but I didn't run to such a place during the times when we weren't out of poverty. Fast Food chain, still possible."I never s

CHAPTER 21

And then one day... something happened in their relationship. After almost a decade of being together, they are getting confused. He opened the matter to me. Even though we are married on paper, as most people we know believed I'm Gwen, but I'm also a friend to him. He can trust me, so he shared his problem with me.His assumption was... in their relationship, there's a third party. Maui was said to have an affair with another man—which was still a big question mark. Because it's not proven. So, I suggested giving their relationship a break—even a short break will help.He told me... that's a great idea. He'll consider it because... even though he was already stressed by Maui's unreasonable attitude... and then now he suddenly thinks that a man is interfering with their relationship. Well... Hen wouldn't think there was anything if no evidence appeared.So, they broke up. So, it's really surprising that after three or four months their relationship was broken... Maui is still meeting

CHAPTER 22

He walked closer to where I was, the exact opposite of my expectation, that he was about to leave my house."But... Thanks for your help. You have been a great help in encouraging me to find my purpose here. Now that I finally confirmed you just have Kris' face, not her soul and identity, should you expect I will stop pestering your life from now on.""I'm not really going to force you to be my wife anymore. By this confirmation happened tonight, I will just learn to accept that she is really gone."With every word he utters, every letter woven and sentences punctuated, I feel the pain and bitterness… by how he pronounced those."You know what... you wouldn't have reached that point..." I met his eyes when I moved my face upward. "That you will regret the things you did before... that you will regret how much you failed Kris as a husband... if only then, Liam... you would have learned how to properly take care of your wife."“And now you're going to chase her… when it’s too late… When

CHAPTER 23

I'm aware he's been used by how sarcastic I become when I take things seriously, so it's not surprising on my part if he's not showing any violent reaction. "I wonder how that woman twisted the truth... so, she could throw dust in your eyes... and believed only in her lies." He stood up with a bang, and the pitcher we were about to break would fall over with just a little bit more. "I don't know what you’re talking about, Kris. I don't understand why you brought Maui into the conversation, and then now you're saying she's a liar. What's happening to you?" "To us..." A long sigh was heaved as I averted my gaze to him. "What's happening to us? We're able to make our attachment strong just now... and then... with your foolish heart ruling your mind and soul... you're coming back again to the woman who hurts you." "I'm not seeing her anymore-" “I know I used to be a fool! That's why the word 'change' was invented for people like me... remember that I do have a brain that is available

CHAPTER 24

"Maybe it's right. I'm not going to get my hopes up, Lucile.”I drowned myself in the equivalent of two pitchers of juice that Lucile had prepared for me when I arrived at her house. She said she doesn't have any alcoholic drinks available, so I'll just have to put up with her orange juice, which is even more sour than her armpit shot."Because I'm wrong too. We both have a clear agreement that there should be no attachment. In the first place, both of our sides have understood that this setup is just for pretending.”"He made it clear to me that I would just borrow my sister's identity in preparation for this day—that I would have the chance to meet Liam again and he wouldn't find that I am still alive.""Everything is clear in my mind. I know where I will end up... not until my foolish heart rules my whole system... and I fell... even though I know despite his flowery words, to catch me if I fall do not belong in his options." I laughed at my own stupidity… which I had let go and go

CHAPTER 25

And Liam just stated the exact reason why I always forbid Audrey to take part on showbiz. I don't want the two of them to cross paths, feel at ease, become close friends... until the connection between the two of them becomes the road to unravel the secrets I have been protected over the years.I don't want Sarah to be the root for her to bring my daughter closer to her real father. No. I can't let that happen.So, even though I really wanted to approach Sarah, talk to her and apologize for not being able to bring her that night, I resisted doing it. It's not the right time yet."Opinions don't count if you're not the parent," I whispered to myself.I assumed nobody was able to hear that since it was so weak the sound I made."Anyway, you? How's life?”"So good, Gwen. Actually, Liam and I are getting busy preparing for our wedding next month. That's why I can't be with Liam sometimes to visit here and visit the state of our partnership with you.""No need to worry about that. Besides,

CHAPTER 26

The top of my head was filled with question marks, and still I'm undecided to do the job... but the people who are with us here on the set encouraged me to do that as well speed up the work.Ugh! Why so slow to pick up simple instructions of this model we got?I took off my coat and let it fall to the floor. Only the black long sleeve see through was left on my top, revealing my flawless body to the audience. I took Lea's place earlier and put one of my legs on the chair. I curved my body, showing to the camera my perfect crescent hips.Glancing at the camera with my seductive eyes, I turned my back while facing in front, butt out while my knee popped on the chair. Two hands are slanted on the armchair as I want my butt to do all the talking. And finishing the pose with my fierce-look."Well done! That's the pose I want to take a picture of," commented the photographer while I was fixing myself after demoing that pose earlier."Thanks for that, Miss Gwen.""No worries." My eyes search

CHAPTER 27

"The baby is very healthy in your womb, Maui. Just continue eating healthy foods for the week before you give birth, there will be no complications."Is it called a mistake to God that I feel annoyed to know that her baby is healthy? Well... I know it's a very huge mistake to wish for an accident to happen to Maui one day—that will cause her to miscarry the baby. Then when that happens, she and Hen will fight... and completely separate and lose connection with each other.Pft. I think I’m so bad."Don't worry, Doc Marissa... My partner feeds me healthy food. I'm not being neglected... both my baby and I. So, I can assure you there will be no complications.”Whoa. She’s so lucky that she’s been taken care of. And that Maui is being loved back by the man she loves. Probably I can experience the same."Yes, by the way. You're really lucky to-""We’ll go ahead, doc. Thank you for your time."She didn't let the doctor finish speaking, and she immediately got up from the chair and left the

CHAPTER 28

"My stomach hurts. Now what? What date will we be taken to the hospital-”"Your stomach will hurt more if you keep talking, Tanya. Just be patient."I'm even nervous at this time. If it wasn't really because of Melanie—the whole plan will end up good. Too used to everything, before they act, they consult me first. Well, what if I was in a far away place and something like this happened? If I get into traffic on the way? What if Corrine's condition gets worse?Ghaaad!"Yes. Put on the siren and use it to make the cars pass you. I'm already making a way, you don't want to follow. Are you fools?”"Enter now and go in a hurry!”"Come on, you’re so slow! A turtle is faster than you, eh.”I lifted Echo's heavy body inside the van. He is the only person missing before the van that feels like an ambulance pulls up."I will follow you."And when the car left, as if I still had time to breathe some air. Rocco is not in the area right now, and I can't figure out where he is. So, I also have no

CHAPTER 29

"After all... Henrix and I are just using each other. I use him to be my husband, and Gwen's face, to make the pretense look real. And he's using me... the way I'm always by his side when Maui is fooling him.""Well, it looks like you're no longer using him to hide and pretend. Because you have already fallen into your deal that he is the mastermind."And he didn't catch me."That's how life really is. Not all love… is reciprocated.” I stopped my car when we got to Lucile's house. "Get out of here. I know you were sleepy earlier.""Yes, well. You know I'm always up at night, so I can only sleep every morning." She went back down when she came back and excitedly grabbed my head. "Didn't I mention to you that I won't have a crush on someone ever again-"“Of course, you can't. Are you still?”"He sang to me last night, and his voice was beautiful and sexy. You know I'm really traumatized by men... but, it's really the last time. One more gamble for him... and then if he's not really my f
