"Jonathan, did you know that Izzy is back?" Candice deliberately asked while they were eating breakfast."What!" Jonathan replied as he was not aware Izzy was in Arizona. He has a lot on his plate to watch over her when they are already over and Jonathan is scared to meet her scary grandmother."You don't know?" She teases her looking for an early fight but Jonathan learned his lesson already. Breaking with her was his biggest mistake and taking Candice's lead."What do you want me to say! Why bother asking if your opinion matters!" Jonathan replied annoyed. Once again her jealousy and envy of hers seeping into her bones."Enough!" Candice's father intervened."But dad-" She tried to protest but her father shot her a glare of warning to stop being childish. Despite the passage of six years, she remained unchanged, showing no signs of growth or maturation.Candice's perpetual craving for tumultuous waters over tranquil seas obscured her awareness of her role as a mother. Oblivious to t
Her cover is already blown and wanted to escape immediately. She thought it was already over after years passed but it wasn't. Her heart was indebted to him and forever his but she couldn't play between the sunken river. She needs to find another ocean to quench her thirst. "Eloisa, are you sure you can run from this?" Iris putting sense on her as she knows running away is not the solution. If she puts a closure before then she might not be hurt like this. Running away again will make things worse. "I know Iris! You've been with me for five years and I know you know what's depth in me. I won't filter anything in front of you it's just that at this moment I can't handle it yet." Eloisa sighed depleted looking away. "Then stay! It may be against your wishes but better than knowing nothing. Like you said everything has a reason and I doubt your grandmother will get mad at you!" Iris enunciated with diction."You are acting like grandma!" Eloisa cried. She is human after all. It's just
I was too busy checking on Fabian and that bitch forgetting what is most important to watch. The unpredictable circumstances knock and it's inevitable to ignore and run away from them. My daughter's voice broke my trance."Mommy!" My daughter's joyful scream pierced the air as she ran towards me, her little legs propelling her forward with all the excitement."Yumi, don't run!" I scolded her, my voice tinged with concern as I watched her tiny form darting around with her oversized teddy bear in tow. The thought of Fabian's reaction to seeing her hurt filled me with dread, knowing how protective he was of our little girl. "Let's go to the mall! Let's go to the mall!" She keeps on repeating jumping on the bed excited as if someone promises her something to get thrilled and jubilant."But I had an important meeting today." I reason out. I need to see Fabian before it's too late. She slumped on the bed solitary staring at the bear. "You are always busy and daddy seldom stays at home." Sh
"This is your fault!" Candice roared as she stormed into our house, her voice echoing through the hallway. I ignored her, brushing past her with tears streaming down her face. She began throwing her belongings in the living room frustrated. "Craig, did you not hear me? This is your fucking fault!" She repeated, her voice rising as she followed me. I stopped in my tracks, turning to face her, my patience wearing thin under the weight of her relentless tantrums. The frustration in her eyes mirrored the tension in the air, and I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself before responding, aware that this confrontation was teetering on the edge of exploding into something neither of us could easily walk back from."What fault? Should I go to the registering office and beg them to remove you from our family registry or what!" I roared, my voice echoing through the room in response to her childish rants. The intensity of my words left her taken aback, speechless, as she stared at me with
"Fabian, this is not right!" Izzy cried, hastily pulling her scattered clothes closer to her on the couch. Fabian chuckled, reaching out to stop her, his eyes lingering on her half-naked form. "Why do you say so?" He smirked, his gaze appreciative as he took in her perfect curves. Izzy's attempt to cover herself seemed futile as he had already seen everything, and the memory of her beauty lingered vividly in his mind. "Fabian, you are married, and your wife will never stop taunting me," Izzy explained, her voice tinged with frustration. Suddenly, Fabian erupted into laughter, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he effortlessly removed all her clothes, revealing her perfect body. His desire ignited and began to ravish her, but his excitement was interrupted when he noticed the marks on her belly. Izzy had forgotten that she was hiding something crucial from Fabian, a secret that now threatened to unravel if she couldn't find a better excuse. "What happened to your stomach?" He asked,
"You know there is no place for you to hide, Denise, right?" Hiro uttered, his voice laced with mockery, even though he was not looking at her. His words hung heavy in the air, creating a palpable tension as Denise stood frozen, her mind racing for an escape that seemed increasingly elusive. The dimly lit room offered no solace, its shadows dancing menacingly around her. "So, this is the place you hide from me under Denise Hall's name but still I prefer Kate Fernandez. It's bold and daring!" He added. Denise just held her breath and clenching her fist couldn't retort his words. His words pierced through the air, her heart pounding with a mix of frustration and anxiety. The mention of Kate Fernandez shattered all her left hope. "Where is your tongue, my lady? Say something, I might misunderstand you, and it's dangerous, right!" Hiro added intimidating her. Despite his smile, his displeasure was palpable, simmering beneath the surface like a storm waiting to erupt. His demand for her
Izzy Pov... Breaking up with Jonathan wasn't my dream, but the least I could do to make myself worth it. Actually, I didn't want to break up with him, but accidentally learned I wasn't in his heart. The worse I am his number three. That's what a jerk he is. It is pathetic enough to stay in a relationship that isn't working on what you plan. I loved him, but loving someone isn't enough to survive in this chaotic world. It just pains me inside to know how I wasted 4 years of my life with him. Sipping my drink awkwardly before closing my eyes, feeling how miserable I am right now. My family also treated me as the second best, and then later I learned I was adopted. My life sucked since I was born. Yeah! I got a degree, but who cares if no one cares about you? I laughed amicably, pretending I wasn't pitiful breaking into pieces inside me. This world has a lot to throw into you, but I am already tired of trying to please anybody. I sighed deeply lowering my head and smiling like a foo
Izzy Pov...I just woke up incredibly delighted and calm. I thought my morning would be filled with hungover, dreaded, and extremely mad besides my broken heart and soul. I'm not unfortunate then to wake up with a smile on my face. I walk out of my room and go to my bathroom humming the song Girls on Fire by Alicia Keys and dancing with it.She's just a girl and she's on fire Hotter than a fantasy Lonely like a highway She's livin' in a world and it's on fire Filled with catastrophe But she knows she can fly away Broken people can still laugh at the end of the day. I will prove to Jonathan that I'm a person she will regret losing! I poured my heart, soul, and trust into our relationship but what I got was not what I was supposed to deserve.That guy I met last night was incredible. He healed me quickly with just his smiles, laughs, and humor. Sometimes I want to believe that Jonathan leaves for a good reason and that meeting Fabian has a purpose but it's too early to conclude. I
