Synopsis
Tiarra Shane has never felt happiness since she was a child. Yes, they live a prosperous life, she gets what she wants, and she never has a problem with anything — she has nothing more to ask for, as others have stated. But, unbeknownst to everyone, she didn't need material things to be happy. She only needed her father and twin to accept and love her. She had the impression that his father and Reina Margaux, her twin, were not treated equally from the start. Their father treats them differently in terms of toys, clothes, and love. Because they held her responsible for their mother's death. She does everything they want, anything that pleases them, but she receives nothing but pain. How can she be happy if the only thing that will make her happy is the same thing that is causing her pain? How long will she have to pay for a sin she never committed? Her ultimate goal in life is to find the happiness she craves. But when will she be able to experience happiness in her lifetime?

PROLOGUE
"If you hadn't been born, Mommy would still be alive!"
"I hope it's just you who died and not your mother!"
I could hear Margaux and Daddy’s voice over and over in my brain. I don't know why I suddenly hear their voices.
I can not breathe.
Help!
Please. Help me! I can't breathe!
I closed my eyes tightly as I struggled to catch my breath. I tried to hold onto my necklace hoping that it could save me but I wasn’t wearing any.
"Tiarra! What the hell is happening to you ?!"
I don't know. I just ... can't breathe.
Gradually my eyelids closed as an image appeared that I could only see in my dreams.
"Mommy."
"Tiarra, please! You need to breathe!"
I want to, but I can't.
I'm so tired that I want to just shut down and fade away.
I no longer knew what was going on around me but I still knew what was going on in my body.
I just felt someone hug me.
I could feel her trembling as she hugged me.
"Shaney c'mon! You need to breathe. Breathe for me, please."
I can hear the desperation in her voice.
I want to do what she says but my body won't cooperate.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry for everything! I'll make it up to you, promise. Just hold on okay? I'm here. I won't leave you ever again."
That's the last thing that I have heard when everything turns black.

Chasing Happiness CHAPTER 14
“I’M GONNA KILL YOU, YOU FREAKING FREAK! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO MY DRESS!!” When I heard Margaux's scream, my world seemed to come to a halt. As I looked at her, my eyes widened with terror and panic. I still managed to take a glance at what she was wearing while I was still seated on the ground. She was wearing a stunning sparkly lavender cocktail dress, Parisian silver stiletto, and her hair was styled in a messy bun. But it was all for naught because of my stupidity. “M-magie..” I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what to say either. Confused, I looked around, sensing that the majority's glance was on our way but I didn't have the time to take care of that because I am more terrified of what Magie would do to me now.

“LET’S GO!”Ayna shouted as we finished our last run through about our performance. We walked together backstage where we could see the full view of the field. As I’ve said earlier, there’s specific colors that represent each faculty. For us –the College of Business Administration owned the color green. We could immediately spot our department's location since it was just in front of the stage, and our department flag was on the side. I'm not sure how many tables are reserved for our faculty, but I know the entire soccer field can accommodate the entire freshman class of each faculty tonight.The decorations are fancy and elegant. There are lights everywhere and scattered lanterns on the floor. There are also artificial trees on the right side with dim Christmas lights. Since we are in the open field, they improvi

“What the hell happened to you? You look like a ghost!” That was how Mace greeted me when we arrived at her house. Perhaps she was wondering because my eyes were swollen. He looked to Renjo as if she could obtain an explanation, but Renjo merely shook his head, so Mace frowned and looked back at me. I sighed. Since I really don’t want to worry her, I needed to lie. “I just woke up.” "Was the traffic so bad that you slept for a long time and your eyes turned like that?" I just nodded as a response. I don’t want to explain myself and I don’t want to argue with her. Knowing Mace, she should know that I am not really okay now. Mace never spoke again even though I knew she had a lot more to ask. She k

Silence prevailed inside the house as Tiarra left. No one wants to talk among the remaining three– Ricardo, Selya and Renjo. Selya scratched her head as if it suddenly hurt because of the discussion between Tiarra and his father. While Tiarra's friend, Renjo was left speechless staring at the door where his friend exited. "If I were you, Hijo, I wouldn't be friends with Tiarra," Ricardo said, drawing Renjo and Selya's attention to him. Renjo scrunched his brow, unable to believe he was hearing those words from his friend's father's mouth. He was already aware that Tiarra's relationship with her twin was not good, but he had no idea that her own father treated her in the same manner. “What nonsense are you saying, Ricardo?” Selya chastised him, but she knew that was all she could say because

Today is Freshmen's Night, and I'm getting ready to pack the necessary things I'll need. I initially safeguard my meds by placing them in a pouch and putting them in the front pocket of my backpack in case of an emergency. After that, I put on some extra clothing so that I can change after the performance. I just stuffed our costume into a paper bag, along with the rubber shoes I'll be wearing. "Tiarra?" I stopped whatever I’m doing when I heard a knock on my door. I immediately opened it and the smiling face of Nana Selya greeted me. I automatically smile upon seeing her. She didn’t utter any words and just went straight to my bed where all my stuff was placed. Her forehead furrowed when she saw my bed in mess. Yeah. I don’t know how to pack properly. I’m such a baby. "Where are you going? There’s so much

We spotted Mace waving at us as we entered the café. Their lunch break appears to be early as well. We walked right up to her and sat at the table she had already reserved for us. "Are you okay? You looked pale," Mace asked as we sat down. I just nodded at her as a response. "What are you going to eat? I'll buy it for you guys," Renjo said. Mace and I immediately said what we wanted to eat then he left to go to the counter. "I saw your damn twin," Mace said when Renjo left. I just raised an eyebrow at her, didn’t even bother to say a word but it seems that Mace knows what I was thinking. "I feel like she wanted to talk to me earlier, but her damned troops like her called her," she continued. I
