Chapter 21Calvin Enzo POVGOD! I almost slipped earlier. I’m glad I managed to hide it. I was so nervous that Nel might notice. Thankfully, she didn’t press me further. My conscience can’t take it if she finds out the truth. I’d only end up hurting the woman I love the most—and I don’t want that to happen. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep this secret from her.“Enzo…” Nel called as we drove. I glanced at her and looked back at the road.“Hmm?” She intertwined her left hand with my right hand.“I love you so much.” My heart melted at her words.“I do love you very much, Nel,” I replied.“Enzo, I want to ask you something.”“Name it, Nel,” I said.“No more lying and keeping secrets. I know I don’t really have the right to ask this but…”“I’m cool with it,” I said confidently.Even if, deep inside, I was falling apart. How could I make that promise, sweetheart? How?“Really? You’re okay with it?” I nodded.She gave me the sweetest smile I’ve ever seen. And my conscience hit me right in

Chapter 23 Marinel’s POVWHEN we got to the parking lot, I was gripping my pencil so tightly I almost snapped it. What is she doing here?! I froze mid-step, causing Enzo to stop too and look at me. “Nel, I’ll explain later.” I didn’t say a word. I just walked straight to the car and sat in the front seat, silently.“Morning, cousin!” Moana greeted me cheerfully. I didn’t respond and turned my gaze outside the car. Enzo got in and started the engine.“Good luck on your exam, Babe,” Moana flirted with him. Even though I wasn’t looking, I noticed Enzo didn’t respond. I bit my lip hard. I was fuming. I wanted to cry at everything happening. Is this what he meant by ‘nothing important’? Well, it’s important to me! What did she do this time to get Enzo to give in again? I took a deep breath. I know I don’t have the right to act this way because Enzo and I don’t exactly have a label. We agreed that love isn’t defined by status. But still—there’s something about having a clear hold on some

Chapter 25Marinel’s POVANDY and I were both sitting in the waiting area. I had been crying nonstop. Enzo was still inside the ER.“I’m sorry, Nel,” Andy said sadly, crying too.“I should’ve taken better care of him.” He blamed himself. I shook my head and rubbed his back.“No one’s at fault, Andy.” He composed himself and wiped his tears.“I’ll call his parents,” he said and went to the information desk.Then the ER doors opened and the doctor came out. I stood and approached him.“How is he?” My knees were trembling in fear.“He’s stable now, but I’ll be honest. There’s nothing more we can do about his illness. I’m sorry. You can discharge him anytime. Excuse me.” I slumped down in shock. I covered my mouth to muffle my sobs.“Nel…” I looked up.I stood without hesitation and hugged Andy tightly.“Andy… What now…” I didn’t know what to do—whether to scream or collapse just to ease the pain I felt.“Make him happy, Nel. Please!” Andy begged through his sobs.I shut my eyes tightly.

Chapter 27 Marinel's POV SEVERAL hours have passed, but I just can’t settle in my seat here inside the taxi. He’s been glancing at me through the rearview mirror for a while now. It feels like I'm on the hot seat. But wow! The driver is so handsome. He looks like a model, and he's tall too, judging by the muscles in his arms."We're here," he suddenly said."Huh? Oh, okay! How much is it?" I hurriedly fumbled in my pocket for money."It's free. Go on," he said, smiling as the door automatically opened."Free?" I asked, still surprised. He nodded and couldn’t stop smiling at me."Thank you so much," I shyly replied and got out of the taxi. The door shut, and he just smiled sweetly at me before driving away."Hey Nel! You're in a daze!""Ah! He's so handsome!" I squealed while pulling Amelia’s hair."Ouch! You really know how to pull hair! What’s so handsome about him?" she asked, annoyed, while trying to block my hand."The taxi driver I rode with! Amelia, he’s so handsome!" I said,

Chapter 29Marinel’s POVMY JAW dropped at what I heard from Enzo. Enzo has a twin? But Enzo never mentioned having a twin while he was still alive. Even Andy never mentioned anything like that. I didn't even see him attending Calvin Enzo's burial, only his parents but I didn't even get a chance to meet them as well.“You’re really his twin? As in, you’re not a ghost?” I asked again.I just wanted to make sure it was true that he was Enzo’s twin. I was overjoyed earlier when I saw him alive, but at the same time, I was filled with fear. My emotions were all over the place the moment I saw him, and that’s probably why I suddenly fainted. When I saw him, all the memories I had with Enzo came flooding back. The happy days we shared, and even the pain of his loss, all hit me at once. Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked at him. Even though his brows were furrowed, I couldn’t deny that they looked exactly alike. Even his stance was the same. His hair may have been longer, but it didn’t t
