Lahat ng Kabanata ng IT STARTED WITH A LIE AND ENDED WITH US.: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

Our days in the South were nothing short of magical—warm sunsets melting into the horizon, laughter carried on the wind, and moments so perfect I wished they would never end. But life never gives you everything you order. Responsibilities have a way of knocking, and when they do, you can’t pretend not to hear. Work came calling, and neither of us had a choice but to answer.We arrived back past ten in the evening. My body was heavy with travel fatigue, but Justin’s presence had a way of softening the weariness. He tucked me into bed early, insisting I rest, though I argued that I would follow him to the office the next morning.Morning came faster than I expected, as if time itself was eager to rob me of the peace I had found in him. The first rays of sunlight slipped through the curtains, and before I could cling to sleep, the day demanded my attention.I dressed quickly, determined not to waste a second. By the time I stepped out, Justin was already busy in the kitchen. The aroma hi

Amidst the noisy room, all my senses were focused on the man seated before me. The way he moved to the sound of the music, how peaceful and happy he was. This was my first time seeing this carefree nature of his.I felt my heart twist inside, not of pain but of excessive joy that came with the thought of having to do things with him.I was all focused on him when he suddenly grabbed my wrist and yanked me out of my seat and into the dancing floor."W-what are you doing?""Let dance" He let go of my hand and began turning round and round, a scattered way of dancing.I couldn't believe he was the same calm, composed and elegant looking man I knew before. He's changed so much, I changed him but in a good way.My vision blurred with tears, I quickly blinked it away. I want to have this moment and let it stick to my memory as much as I can.It was all loud and wild until the music died down. Then a slow sound began playing.As if it knew what I wanted. Justin was standing there, a few f

Five years laterThe large door opened and a woman in her late twenties walked in. Elegant, beautiful, majestic were the best words to describe her as she carried herself with supreme grace to her seat that was resting at the center of the room.Her eyes shone with nothing but dullness, and her appearance was strict and reserved in a professional manner.All the eyes of the men in the room brighten in interest and the women with admiration and jealousy.But none of it meant anything to the high level lady in her majestic elegant royal blue suit. She is none other than Bianca McKenzie, the unknown heiress of the Josh who claimed the position of the McKenzie Empire after her grandpa willingly stepped down.Silence lingered on the hall for minutes before Monica cleared her throat bringing everyone back to the present."We can proceed" she pressed a smile.With that, everyone's attention went back to the meeting, as they proceeded to discuss issues faced in the McKenzie Main base company.

The mornings came so fast and Bianca was yet to get herself ready.Today, she will officially be introduced as the leading and active heir of the MCKENZIE's to all including the partnering companies.That includes the Millers. Yes, the Millers were able to strike a deal with the MCKENZIE's thanks to Bianca during her disguise as Brian.And now, the result for her generosity is now about to face her. Not like she minds but her heart does.Five years is but five days to her and the feeling gets even more heartbreaking the closer she gets to Justin.She stood before the large mirror, staring at her beautiful self. Everything was perfect, her beauty top-notch and her makeup up a perfect blend to her pale skin.Her dress hugged her like a clone on a DNA strand defining every corner of her body. And sexy and elegant were the best words to describe her at this point.Her long jet black hair falls effortlessly on her back as its curls sway in response to the feeling.With a heavy sigh, she gr

Time seemed to have frozen and nothing existed except the duo who were all entangled in their arms, hugging each other like there's no tomorrow.After what seems like a long time, Bianca though not willing pushed Justin at arm length breaking the warmth only him could give."You should leave" she muttered, a word that went against her needs and desires."Why? So you can go about hovering around different men?" Justin retorted, his jealousy uffocating the entire room.Bianca frowned," excuse you?"She couldn't believe Justin could think so low of her."What? Am I lying?" He pressed, willing her to speak.Their gaze held each other, Justin's was filled with jealousy and anger and a hint of hate and Bianca's was filled with nothing but pain.The last thing she wanted was Justin calling her names and thinking so low of her."If not then tell me what the fuck you are doing with an old man, old enough to be your Grandfather" He clenched his teeth and ran his fingers through his hair, "why?
