CHAPTER THIRTY

We remained silent until we reached Gail's house. I still have her phone but I am not using it.Their maids came to us and got our things. They're used to me being here so they assist me comfortably."Miss Ester, we'll go upstairs. Please bring us some food and some medicine for flu," Gail said as she went upstairs to her room. I just followed her silently.I heard her sighed when we reached her room, "Your asshole ex boyfriend is out of his mind."And even with that sentiment, I can hear my heart pounding so bad."Come on Gail, what did he do?" I asked worriedly."He's insane Vy. Their band was featured in an interview yesterday since their album is currently on a good ranking. They were asked if they're taken and his bandmates said yes, and that asshole said yes too!" Gail said, sounding really problematic.I suddenly felt cold. What the hell, I think I know what's going on."Gail," I stuttered."And he claimed you as his girlfriend on National TV. He even said that you don't want t

CHAPTER THIRTY ONE

"Gosh, why is your ex like that? Fuck it, you're just minding your own life. Why does he have to do this?" Rica said in frustration. Finn comforted him right away. I smiled at the view of them.Seeing them like this somehow brings happiness in my heart. Maybe because I couldn't be happy for myself, so it's easier to be happy for them; who truly cares for me."This will pass. Let's not stress ourselves with this too much. I can work while I'm here, let's just let the issue pass and then for sure, everything will be back to the way it used to be. I am not a special person in the media. They would probably lose their interest in me after this. By that time, I will just talk to Xavier about this. Thank you for all of your concerns but I don't want to see you guys being stressed with this. I don't want you guys worrying about me too much," I said, convincing them. I know them. They wouldn't feel at ease with all of this. They would do everything to make sure that I'll be okay. But I know

CHAPTER THIRTY TWO

I woke up the next morning with Gail's voice. She's waking me up for some reason."What?" I asked, my head is a bit heavy for staying up late."Lucas called me, I don't know where he got my number but it's not important anymore. Fix yourself. He'll bring you somewhere. The media is still looking for you, they're still waiting outside your company building and your apartment. Now, there's also some media outside, but dad is already talking to them. Go, fix yourself. You'll go once they leave," she explained in a hurry.And where will Lucas bring me? And why do I have to go with him? Isn't he mad at me? He hasn't talked to me since that day."Come on, Vy. Quit being confused. Hurry, Lucas might be here at any moment," Gail is still tense so I decided to do as she says."Where are we going? Gail, I thought he's mad at me? Why is he helping me now?" I asked as I started to fix myself."I don't know yet but that's not important right now. Just hurry up," she said and picked up some of my t

CHAPTER THIRTY THREE

I was with three guys in this car. They were all quiet as we left. While I couldn't stop myself from thinking about a lot of things.I looked at the guy who's sitting beside me, the same guy I spoke with earlier. I was very hesitant to ask because they're too quiet."Ram, I think Miss wants to ask you something," the guy from the passenger seat said.I looked at him and smiled a bit before looking back at the guy beside me. He's already looking at me too."I just want to know your connection with Lucas?" I was a bit shy.The guy in front and the guy beside me looked at each other for a while. I waited for his answer but they remained silent. I sighed and faced the window."We're working under him, Miss."I wasn't expecting Ram to answer me but he did. I looked at him questioningly."How come?" I asked.Both of them exchanged their looks again before Ram answered my question."We were his friends. I'm sorry, that's all that we can tell," he explained.I didn't say a thing and focused o

CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR

She waited for me to answer. Does she know anything about whatever Lucas and I have?She laughed again and looked at me teasingly, "Nevermind. Besides, whatever status you have with my brother, I don't care. He's a bit you know," she stopped and laughed at his brother. "She chickens out a lot. So if you ever find him really slow, I hope you just give him a time," she continued.I laughed a bit at what she said. I don't know how I will tell her that he's not even courting me so I just laugh it off. After a while, I felt more comfortable with her. We continued talking about different things and I felt at peace."Are you really that quiet? I mean, I'm glad you're talking to me already but then I expected more. Lucas said that you're a bit of a snob but then he also said that you're not quiet. I'm kind of wondering now if you are really the one that he meant," she exclaimed.I smiled before answering her. I still kind of feel shy but then, it's even embarrassing if I won't show her kindne

CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE

We continued talking until one in the afternoon. She probably saw that I looked tired so she asked me to go to one of their guestrooms. And before leaving me alone in this room, she said that she'd wake me up when Lucas arrived.We haven't talked to each other since he left that day. Even though he planned all of this, he didn't bother to talk to me. He just looked at me for a split second and then ignored me again. To be honest, I don't understand him. I don't know why he suddenly became like that. When he left after we talked he never reached out to me again. No texts, no call, no anything. And I can't help but to feel irritated at him because he really did not try contacting me after that. And then he's there all of a sudden, helping me. I don't get it. Why would he help me while he acted like he's mad at me? And how could he face Gail that much and yet he didn't almost look at me. Now, here I am. Everything that I discovered about him just drives me crazier.He has a sister. Harr

CHAPTER THIRTY SIX

I was on the verge of falling asleep when I heard the door of this room open and then closed after a while. Then I heard someone's footsteps. I didn't know who entered the room because I was facing the other side.I didn't move and acted like I'm asleep. I can feel the gaze of someone and based on its shadow, I think it's Lucas. I almost rolled my eyes and closed my eyes right away when he walked towards the side where I am facing. He sat on the couch beside the sliding door of the veranda.I heard him sigh. I opened my eyes and was met by his dark brown eyes. He wasn't shocked that I'm awake. He remained looking at me intently.All of a sudden, I felt sad. He looks tired and not in the mood. I know he's just being nice. He's helping me because it's his nature to help someone, like before when I first met him. He also helped me even though it's not his responsibility to do so.I looked away and sat down. I started playing on my fingers to stop myself from looking at him. I felt guilty

CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN

"Hi Vy, how are you? Did you two already leave? I'm preparing my things now. They said I will be fetched by some guys and they will bring me to their rest house in Pangasinan," Gail said in a happy tone. I smiled with that even though I still can feel the sadness in my heart. I somehow still felt better that Gail is at ease now."I'm fine. Can we talk for a while," I said in a low tone. I don't want Lucas to hear what we are talking about."Are you sure you're okay?" She said in a worried tone. I bit my lower lip and stopped myself from crying. I couldn't answer right away, I waited for a few minutes until I became calm before speaking again."I'm okay. I-I just feel worried about the situation," Though it was true, I still couldn't name the reason why I felt this sad. I also still couldn't figure out why all of this came to this point. We were better than this, Xavier.I heard her sigh, "You're not okay Vy, I know you. Please tell me what's wrong?"My tears fell down as I heard her s

CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT

I wanted to be pissed but I felt more sad. I want to ask him what's the problem but I'm scared for his answer. I'm scared he'd say I'm the problem.I also want to ask if he's mad at me but I can't bear him saying that he is. I'm scared to hear what I am not ready to hear. Ram and Uno didn't take long. They returned with everything that Lucas asked them to have. We ate in silence while Ramiel continued to drive. After eating, Lucas made me drink my medicine. I didn't say anything. He hugged me again and put me back on my position earlier. I was about to argue but I saw how serious he was. I just quietly rested on him until I fell asleep. When I woke up, I felt a lot better. My head is still resting on his chest and I felt him sleeping soundly. I carefully looked in front and my gaze was meted by Ram and Uno's eyes. I smiled at them and they smiled back. I got shy at our position but I couldn't move because I didn't want Lucas to wake up."When did you become friendly?" I stiffened w

CHAPTER THIRTY NINE

The longer that I think of it, the more I feel irritated. So I decided to take a bath. I couldn't stay for too long though, I'm afraid I'd get sick again. I wore a simple shirt and t-shirt. I'm glad Gail helped me prepare my things because I'd probably only bring some if I'm the only one who packed these things. Especially that I don't have a clue about where we're going. After that, I took my time in drying my hair before going to the kitchen to drink some coffee. It would help me feel better. I'm glad that I didn't see Lucas in the receiving area. I went straight to the kitchen and busied myself there. I'm sure this rook is expensive, it's huge.I decided to drink my coffee there as I called gail."Hello, Vy!" she greeted."Hi! We're here at the hotel already. How about you?" I asked."I'm not sure where we are. But these guys I'm with told me we'll arrive there around 2:00 to 3:00 am. You know how bad traffic is in Manila," she said a bit laughing. She sounds comfortable and it co
