Stefan Salvatore Smiling

As the upcoming tour approached, the dance troupe suddenly revoked my position as the lead dancer. Anxious to get an explanation in person, I lost my footing due to my distracted state and tumbled down the stairs. While enduring the sharp pain and preparing to call for emergency services, a notification popped up on my phone screen: “Redwood Dance Troupe: Welcome our new lead dancer, Averil Wells, and our generous sponsor, Julian Ford." The accompanying photo featured two smiling faces—my husband of seven years, whom I had secretly married, and his pampered mistress. Julian had his arm wrapped around Averil's waist as he placed a gentle kiss on her cheek. Meanwhile, Averil clung to Julian's neck, her face radiating shyness and delight.

One side We have Julia Cameron, a bubbly, jovial and carefree girl who is always smiling and trying to make everyone around her happy.

Liam and Julia find themselves fighting a foe they can neither see nor touch. Will their love be enough? Will the pain be too much for Liam? Or will love force him to stay by Julia's side forever?

“Nasaan ang singsing?” “Ano?” Mabilis na binawi ng babae ang kanyang kamay. “Tinatanong ko kung nasaan ang singsing,” mariing ulit ni Stefan habang nakatitig nang masama sa kanyang kasintahan. “Ah... naiwan ko yata sa opisina. Kasi madalas akong naghuhugas ng baso ng kape, kaya tinanggal ko muna at itinabi. Baka magasgas kasi,” paliwanag ng dalagang si Natalie na bahagyang nakapagpakalma kay Stefan. “Kapag tinanggal mo ‘yan, ituturing kong gusto mong makipagbitiw sa kasunduan ng kasal.” “H-hindi naman po. Itinabi ko lang, hindi ko naman tinatanggal ng tuluyan.” “Kung gano’n, isuot mo ngayon din,” singhal ng lalaki na may halong pagbabanta. “Oo na, isusuot ko,” sagot ng babae na may bahid ng tampo. Kinuha niya ang bag sa tabi, binuksan iyon, at inilabas ang singsing ng kanilang kasunduan. Isinuot niya iyon sa kanyang daliri at ipinakita sa kanya ang likod ng kamay.

It was him. The man I had just been accused of murdering in cold blood. The man whom I've been forced to consume poison because of. Or, had I seen a ghost? Why was my supposedly dead husband standing in the midst of those people, smirking in accomplishment. As the venom of the poison spread through my body and like I was going to rip apart because of the pain, I gave in to the paralysis that rushed me and then closed my eyes shut, tears finding their way out of my closed eyes regardless. “P…please, G… God,” I mumbled with the final breath in me. ~~~ And, suddenly, my eyes were opened, and I was standing in front of him. And he was smiling widely at me, asking what I thought of the wedding dress. But, this was weird because this was from three years ago. Then, my eyes dropped on the calendar. Was I hallucinating? I… I have been reborn?!

The air between them became hotter as she bit her lip, trying to stop herself from smiling so much. The closet was dark and stuffy, so small that their bodies were almost touching, her heart thumped like crazy. "D-Derek" She called out as he hummed in response, holding unto his sides for some unknown reason. "Will you be my boyfriend?" She blurted out, closing her eyes so she wouldn't see his reaction, he groaned, it almost broke her heart but when she looked down, she saw his shirt was now soaked. Blood trailing down his abdomen which made her gasp, slamming open the closet door. "Somebody call an ambulance!" She yelled as the guy she had just asked out dropped limp to the ground like a pack of soggy spaghetti. *A Nigerian themed novel* |16+
