Chapter 10

3rd Person POVSuzy could not believe that Grandma Esme prepared such a grand party for her.Even from outside the hotel, she could already see the glowing lights hanging across the garden. They sparkled like stars that had fallen from the sky just to celebrate that night. Flowers surrounded the entire place, and in the center was a small stage where a pianist and a violinist played soft music.She could hardly believe that everything was for her.All of her classmates were there. Even some of her former classmates had been invited. Some of them waved excitedly at her while others whispered among themselves, probably amazed by the elegant celebration.She never imagined Grandma Esme could do something like this.In her entire life, she had never experienced a celebration like this before.“Are you enjoying the night?” Alexander asked.She looked up at him. They were standing in the middle of the dance floor while the piano and violin played softly. This was the last dance of the nigh

Chapter 11

3rd Person POVAfter their conversation last night, she was no longer surprised when she found that her parents’ belongings were already gone the next day. She let out a dry laugh. “What else should I expect? They never really cared about their child,” she said with a smirk.She stared at the ceiling, lying lifelessly on her bed. Anyone who saw her would think she looked utterly miserable. They would still provide for her and had promised not to neglect her needs.But was that really what she needed? Her heart had shattered once again. What could she do if the two of them were the ones who wanted to separate?Tears streamed down her face. Her dream of having a happy family had truly fallen apart. She pulled her blanket over herself, but quickly removed it when she heard someone knocking on the door of their house. She turned toward her bedroom door, as if the sound had come from there.“Suzy! Are you there?!” Her blood rushed through her veins when she heard Lola Esme’s voice.She imme

Chapter 12

3rd Person POV “Suzy, you’re here!” She straightened up immediately when Alexander entered the yard. She discreetly wiped her face and glanced at the old woman. “Alexander, you’re already here. Come sit with us so you can have some snacks,” Lola Esme said to her grandson with a smile. She let go of the old woman and quietly sat beside her, while the young man took the seat she had been using earlier. “Thanks, Grandma. How are you, Suzy? Grandma Esme and I didn’t see you this morning.” She cleared her throat. “Ahh, my parents were there earlier, so I stayed inside to spend some time with them,” she reasoned out. She was about to take her plate when the young man suddenly grabbed the fork she had been using and took a bite of the biko she had already eaten from. She grimaced slightly and cleared her throat again. “Alexander, my grandson. Is that yours? That belongs to Suzy,” the old woman said sternly. The young man looked at her and grinned. “It’s mine now. I already ate it,” he

Chapter 13

3rd Person POV“Suzy, you’re already awake. Good morning,” Lola Esme greeted her with a smile.Suzy walked over and gently hugged the elderly woman from behind. “Good morning. You woke up so early.”As soon as she got out of bed, she instinctively looked for the old woman, and just as expected, she found her in the kitchen. Cooking for their breakfast.“That’s how it is when you get older—” the old woman stopped mid-sentence when she suddenly coughed.“Grandma Esme,” Suzy said worriedly as the cough seemed to trouble her.She stepped back a little and gently rubbed the old woman’s back. “W-what are you? I’m fine—” the elderly woman coughed again.“I think it’s because it was cold last night.” Suzy took a glass and filled it with lukewarm water. “And you were wearing something too thin,” she added, sounding like a concerned parent.“It’s nothing, it will be gone tomorrow,” the old woman said.Suzy simply shook her head and handed her the glass. “Here, please drink this. If by this afte

Chapter 14

3rd Person POV“Is Grandma Esme alright now?” Alexander asked from the other end of the line.She was standing in the hospital corridor, and today was the day she and Lola Esme would finally go home. The doctor had just made sure that Lola Esme could already breathe comfortably before allowing them to leave.“She’s alright, Alex. I just need to take care of the hospital bills,” she replied.“Thank you so much, Suzy. Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”“It’s nothing, what are you saying? Lola Esme isn’t just anyone to me, she was already a family, so you don’t need to thank me,” she said.She leaned against the wall, staring straight at the opposite side while still focusing on the man she was speaking to.“Suzy,” Alexander called her name gently.Her heart started beating faster, and she swallowed hard. “Uh huh?”“Can we go out when I get back?” he asked hesitantly, though his nervousness was obvious.She didn’t know what to answer him. For a few seconds, she remained silent.“Let’s just

Chapter 15

3rd Person POV“Where is Lola Esme? Please take me to her,” Suzy said tearfully to the nurse standing in front of her.The moment she woke up from fainting, Lola Esme was the first person she remembered. “Please calm down, miss. You might faint again,” the nurse said gently.She tried to calm herself, but tears continued to stream down her face.“Mrs. Moreno is currently still in the intensive care unit, and the doctors are doing everything they can to stabilize her condition,” the nurse explained.Suzy felt irritated because it seemed like the nurse was unaffected by everything happening right now. Maybe it was because scenes like this had already become normal for nurses every single day.“C-can I see her now?” she asked weakly.The nurse simply nodded and adjusted Suzy’s intravenous line.She forced herself to calm down and tried not to cry because she was afraid the nurse would refuse to take her to Grandma Esme if she kept breaking down. Just like they agreed, the nurse guided her

3rd Person POVA slap immediately landed on Suzy’s face the moment Alexander’s mother saw her. Her head snapped to the side, and she froze where she stood. “What did you do to our mother?” Mrs. Moreno cried out tearfully.“Hon, stop it. It’s not her fault.” Alexander’s father stepped in front of his wife to stop her. She blamed herself for what happened to Lola Esme, but now that someone is blaming her now, she blamed and hated herself even more.Suzy knew they were not wrong. She was at fault.She slowly fell to her knees. “Please forgive me. There’s no way I can repay what I’ve done,” she whispered.She wanted to cry, but it felt as though her tears had already hardened. Nothing would come out anymore.Alexander could not come home because there had suddenly been a problem with some of his documents, so only his parents were able to come for Lola Esme.“You have no conscience! You let mama end up in that condition, and you’re not ashamed! Is this how you repay her after everything sh

Chapter 17

3rd Person POVThe moment she saw Alexander standing at the front, she immediately walked toward him even though she could clearly feel the sharp glares coming from his mother.Without hesitation, she stood beside him. He merely glanced at her briefly before looking ahead again, toward where Grandma Esme’s body lay in the coffin. The situation already felt unbearably heavy for her, but she knew nothing could ever compare to the pain Alexander was feeling.Grandma Esme was gone because of her negligence.She quietly breathed in relief when several minutes had already passed and Alexander still had not asked her to leave.“You haven’t eaten anything since this morning. Please eat first,” she softly said.She opened the styrofoam container she brought, which contained adobo and rice.“I’m not hungry,” Alexander coldly replied.“Even just a few bites, Alex,” she said quietly.Actually, she was already scared that he might get angry, but she forced herself to stay brave. She scooped some a
