Chapter 51: Junie's Drawing

Hindi mawala sa isip ni Graziel ang naging usapan nila ni Claire.Tahimik siyang naglakad papasok ng mansion, kasunod ng dalawa. Mahigpit pa rin ang hawak niya sa maliit na paper bag na ibinigay ni Claire bago sila umuwi.“Ang nararamdaman natin hindi yan humihingi ng permit.”Paulit-ulit na umalingawngaw sa isip niya ang mga salitang iyon. Well, kung nanghihingi lang ng permit ang nararamdaman niya, hinding-hindi niya talaga papayagan eh. Ayaw na ayaw niyang makaramdam ng ganito. Gusto niya ng peace of mind. Pero paano siya makakakuha ng peace of mind kung ganito ang tumatakbo sa isip niya?Plus, umamin pa talaga siya kay Ma’am Claire? Langyang buhay naman talaga to. Gusto na lang niyang maging bato. Paano na lang niya haharapin ngayon si Ma’am Claire? Parang wala na tuloy siyang mukhang maihaharap sa kaibigan ng boss niya.Napabuntong-hininga siya.Hindi niya akalaing darating ang araw na aaminin niya sa ibang tao ang lihim na matagal na niyang pilit itinatanggi kahit sa sarili niya

Chapter 52: Girl Talk

Tahimik ang hardin ng mansion. Katatapos lamang ng hapunan nila.Habang abala ang mga kasambahay sa kusina at nanonood naman ng cartoon si Junie sa family room kasama si Kevin, lumabas si Graziel upang magpahangin.Masyado nang magulo ang isip niya.Mula pa kanina, paulit-ulit na bumabalik sa alaala niya ang bawat kilos ni Kevin. Ang bawat ngiti. Ang bawat simpleng salita. At higit sa lahat, ang tanong na ilang araw na niyang pilit iniiwasan.Napahawak siya sa dibdib.Parang mas lumalakas ang tibok ng puso niya habang tumatagal."Graziel."Napalingon siya. Palapit si Claire, may hawak na dalawang tasa ng mainit na tsaa."I thought you might need this."Ngumiti si Graziel at tinanggap ang isang tasa. "Thank you po."Magkatabi silang naupo sa wooden bench sa ilalim ng malaking acacia tree. Tahimik ang paligid. Tanging huni ng mga kuliglig at mahinang ihip ng hangin ang maririnig.Hindi alam ni Graziel kung paano sisimulan ang usapan, pero tila walang balak magsalita agad si Claire. Tahi

Chapter 53: Hope

Tahimik na ang buong mansion.The laughter that had filled the house only an hour ago had long faded, leaving behind nothing but silence and the soft hum of the air-conditioning that drifted through the expansive hallway.After tucking Junie into bed, Kevin leaned over to kiss his daughter's forehead before quietly pulling the bedroom door shut behind him.His tie was already loose around his neck, the sleeves of his crisp white dress shirt rolled just below his elbows. It had been another long day at the office, but for some reason, exhaustion wasn't what occupied his mind tonight.As he walked toward the master suite, a faint glow caught his attention.The lights on the second-floor terrace were still on.He glanced through the glass doors and found Claire sitting alone on one of the woven rattan chairs, a porcelain teacup resting between her hands. Beyond the balcony stretched the landscaped gardens, softly illuminated by warm ground lights that reflected against the marble façade

Chapter 54: "I want her to stay."

The terrace fell into silence once more. Only the distant chirping of crickets and the cool evening breeze drifted through the spacious balcony overlooking the estate.Kevin remained seated, his gaze fixed on the manicured gardens below. Claire's words refused to leave his mind."I think... Graziel has feelings for you."The sentence echoed over and over until it no longer sounded impossible. Instead, it made him look back.Small moments he had ignored. Conversations he never thought twice about.The quiet smiles. The lingering glances. The concern in her eyes whenever he came home late. Pieces that had once seemed ordinary were beginning to fit together."You're unusually quiet."Claire's voice broke the silence. Kevin let out a slow breath."I wasn't expecting any of that.""I know."Neither of them spoke for several seconds. Kevin leaned back in his chair, one hand resting against the polished wooden armrest as he searched for the right words."I honestly don't know what to think."

Chapter 55: Her Day Off

Kevin woke earlier than usual the next morning. The first light of dawn had barely touched the horizon when his eyes opened.For a moment, he remained still beneath the gray linen sheets, staring quietly at the ceiling of his spacious bedroom. The mansion was unusually silent. Beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, only the faint songs of birds echoed from the gardens below.He closed his eyes again, hoping to fall back asleep. It didn't work. With a quiet sigh, he pushed the blanket aside and got out of bed. A quick shower and a fresh change into a charcoal polo shirt and tailored lounge pants later, he stepped out of his room. His footsteps echoed softly against the polished marble floor as he made his way downstairs.He didn't stop to think about where he was going. His feet simply carried him there.The kitchen.Perhaps Graziel was already preparing breakfast. She usually woke before everyone else. By the time he reached the open-concept kitchen, the rich aroma of freshly brewed co

Chapter 56: Was Graziel alright?

Kevin woke before sunrise once again. Normally, years of running a multinational company had trained his body to rise before dawn.Today, however, work had nothing to do with it. He lay quietly beneath the covers, staring at the ceiling of his bedroom. An unfamiliar thought lingered in his mind.Maybe she's back.Perhaps Graziel had returned late last night.Maybe she'd already be downstairs, just as she always was, preparing breakfast before the rest of the household woke. The possibility was enough to keep him from falling asleep again.With a quiet sigh, he got out of bed.After a quick shower, he changed into a navy cashmere polo and light-colored tailored trousers before making his way downstairs. The mansion was still wrapped in the calm silence of early morning. As soon as he stepped into the spacious kitchen, his eyes instinctively searched the room.The marble island, the breakfast counter, and even the coffee station.Nothing.Graziel wasn't there.The household staff busied

Chapter 57: Graziel Fernandez

Three days. Three consecutive mornings without Graziel in the mansion.And with each passing day, Kevin found it harder to convince himself that everything was fine.He sat quietly at the long dining table, a perfectly prepared breakfast untouched before him. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the room, yet it did nothing to stir his appetite."Sir..." Aling Rosa called softly.Kevin looked up."Ayaw niyo po ba sa niluto ko? Gusto niyo po ba magluto ako ng iba? Ano po bang gusto niyo?"He shook his head. "No."A brief silence followed. Then, almost as though he had finally made up his mind, he set his coffee cup down."Aling Rosa.""Yes, Sir?""What hospital is Graziel's mother admitted to?"The housekeeper blinked in surprise. Still, she answered without hesitation, giving him the hospital's name and the ward where Mrs. Fernandez had first been admitted.Kevin gave a small nod. "I'll be out for a while.""Sir..."Aling Rosa seemed about to say something. But he had already sto

Chapter 58: So Do I

Kevin couldn't settle down after returning to the mansion. The entire afternoon passed in a blur. No matter how hard he tried to focus, the same words kept echoing in his mind."The patient passed away yesterday morning."Followed by another image… The empty house and the place Graziel once called home. She wasn't there. He had no idea where she was. No idea whether anyone was beside her. Or whether she was carrying her grief completely alone.By the time he reached his office, several documents were already waiting on his desk.Contracts, financial reports, and even investment proposals. Normally, he would've gone through every page with remarkable efficiency.Today, the papers remained untouched. After staring blankly at the same document for several minutes, Kevin reached for the office phone."Reyes."His executive assistant answered immediately."Yes, Sir?""I need you to locate someone." He gave Graziel's full name, together with every detail he knew about her family. "Coordinat

Chapter 59: So Was I

The afternoon passed quietly.More visitors arrived to pay their respects, though most remained beneath the white funeral tent outside the house. Inside the modest living room, Junie sat quietly beside the casket.A small coloring book rested on her lap, the one Kevin had bought during the drive. Her tiny fingers held a crayon while her other hand remained wrapped around Graziel's.Every now and then, the little girl glanced at the white casket before silently returning to her drawing.For once, she wasn't asking questions. She seemed to understand that this wasn't a day for laughter.Kevin watched them for a moment before quietly stepping outside.The afternoon air was warm, carrying the faint scent of white lilies and burning incense.He had barely reached the front yard when he heard soft footsteps behind him.Graziel.She stopped a short distance away. Kevin glanced toward the open window."Baby insisted on staying with your aunt." His voice was calm. "She said she'd wait for you

Chapter 60: I'll Be Here

Morning came quietly. Long before the funeral procession began, relatives and neighbors had already gathered outside the small house.Unlike the previous nights, there were no lively conversations. No one lingered over cups of coffee. No one stayed awake sharing stories.Today, everyone had come for one final goodbye. From where he stood beneath the white funeral tent, Kevin watched people move quietly around the house, preparing for the burial.Every so often, his gaze drifted toward Graziel. She wore a simple black dress. Her hair was neatly tied back. Her face looked pale beneath the morning light.But what unsettled him most was her eyes. They were no longer swollen from crying. No fresh tears remained. There was only an unsettling stillness. Kevin knew enough to recognize that kind of silence.It wasn't acceptance. It was exhaustion.The kind that came after a person had cried until there was nothing left to give."Daddy..." Junie's soft voice pulled him from his thoughts.He loo
