Yannie Ace Ruiz"Ate Yannie, dad is calling you. He said it's time for us to eat," Yuri gently told me."I'm not hungry yet, Yuri.""But you haven't eaten since yesterday, and you're still not hungry now?"I remained silent, keeping my eyes closed while lying on my bed. After a while, I heard Yuri's footsteps leaving the room and the door closing shut.It's been two days since Josh and I broke up. And for two days, I haven't been able to talk to him because his phone is off, and his social media accounts are deactivated. I tried asking Ramil and Byron, but they haven't seen Josh for almost three days because he hasn't been going to his internship. I also reached out to Ate Rica to see if she's been in touch with Josh, but she's not getting any response to her messages either, and because she's busy with work, she can't visit him at his house or his condo.Because of that, I couldn't help but worry about Josh. He was so angry the last time we saw each other, and I could see the de

Josh Rain MontezI quickly sped up my car as soon as I got in. With one hand, I hurriedly grabbed my cellphone to call Yannie, but I received a call from Ramil first, and I had no choice but to answer it."Hello—""Thank goodness we finally reached you," the voice on the other end quickly interrupted me. "Damn it, Bro! What the hell are you thinking? Why did you do that?""What?" I asked irritably, trying to make sense of Ramil's abrupt statements."We don't know what's going on between you and Yannie, but I don't think what you're doing is right." I could sense the anger in Ramil's voice, and knowing him, he wouldn't be this serious if the reason wasn't important."Ramil—""Is that Josh? Where is he?" I paused as I heard Byron asking Ramil about me, and then soon enough, Byron was speaking to me. "Hello? Josh? Where are you?""I’m on my way to see Yannie.""What? Now, of all times, Bro? Do you really think she'd want to see you after what you did?" I took a deep breath. Byron

Yannie Ace Ruiz"Guys, did you know that Bam reportedly dropped out? That's what Kristy told me earlier," Veron said."Well, it's about time she dropped out. Her intention wasn't to study anyway," Jenny remarked."You know, until now, I still can't believe Bam was behind all of that. Like, really? She fooled all of us into thinking she was a nice and innocent girl?" Ivory exclaimed, followed by a sip of her milk tea."Well, from the start, I already felt she wasn't quite right. It felt like there was something off about her. But, my gosh! I never expected her to be that crazy!" Jenny added. We were currently sitting on a bench at school, passing the time during our vacant class."She's really insane! She's scary. Imagine, because she was obsessed with Josh Rain, she did all of that? She went to great lengths!" Veron said."I'm sorry, guys. I know it's partly my fault, too. I trusted her too much," I said."Don't blame yourself, Yannie. It's not your fault for being too kind and

Yannie Ace RuizI quickly moved away from Josh when I heard him call out to the woman in her mid-40s who suddenly entered Josh's house. She was elegantly dressed, adding to her already authoritative aura."G-Good day," I stuttered as I greeted her, standing up. Josh also stood beside me, still staring in surprise at the woman he called his mother."What are you doing here?" Josh asked the woman with a furrowed brow.A small smirk played on the woman's lips. "What kind of question is that? I’m here because, of course, this is my house."Josh swallowed hard. "I mean… why are you here? Why is it sudden?""It is not sudden, Son. Your Daddy and I have been trying to reach you several times, but we couldn't contact you. I didn't expect to find you here, and..." Josh's mom shifted her gaze to me, scanning me from head to toe. "With someone else."My heart raced with anxiety as I felt a wave of unease wash over me from the way Josh's mom looked at me."Who are you, dear? What are you d

Josh Rain Montez“Where have you been?”I was immediately startled when I heard my Mom's voice from behind. I took a deep breath before slowly turning to face her. She was sitting on the sofa, her arms crossed, and I hadn't noticed her right away when I came home.I didn't respond to her questions right away, instead, I remained silent, looking at her. She stood up and approached me."Where did you sleep last night? Why did you just come home now?" she asked in succession.Because of that, I couldn't help but smirk a little. I couldn't believe her questions because it was the first time she had asked me like that."What's wrong? Why are you asking me that now?""What?" She furrowed her brow.I took another deep breath. "I'm sorry. This is just new for me. It's the first time you've asked me these kinds of questions." She was taken aback by my answer. And then I spoke again. "I need to get ready. I still have to go to my internship.""You don't need to go there anymore," she sa
