“Happy 5th anniversary, babe.” June kissed my cheeks. I blushed. Even though we’re almost 5 years together, the spark wouldn’t fade off. I really love this guy and it’s been my dream to live with him for a lifetime, although next month, that dream would be my reality forever because finally, we’re getting married.
“Are you enjoying your steak?” He smiled and drank the wine he’s holding. I tugged some of my hair strands behind my ear because they’re swaying in my face too much. We’re having our dinner on the rooftop where he prepared candle lights, one romantic table and some luxurious meal.
“Yeah.” I smiled sweetly. The moon is shining so bright tonight that I don’t need any light to see June’s handsome face.
“Hmm, too bad..” he uttered and it made me confused, “Too bad since this will be our last night together,” he continued and I froze.
“What a-are you even saying?” I chuckled even though I was still shocked. Is he joking? Maybe, there’s no way he would say those things seriously.
“Man..” He put his hands on his forehead and pushed some of his front hair backwards. Then he smirked at me. His angelic expression that I always see is now gone. He’s looking at me as if I’m the most disgusting thing he has ever seen.
“J-June, are you drunk?” I was about to get near him but he pushed me even before I could touch him. I couldn’t process everything that’s happening. He’s acting very weird and strange. This is not the June I know.
“Are you that stupid?”
“What?” My tears are starting to cloud my eyes.
“Hah!”
“June! Stop playing a prank—“ He cuts me off when he pulled me up to stand and dragged me near the edge of the rooftop. My heart’s beating was something I couldn’t describe. It’s fast yet I can still breathe fine.
“W-what are you—“
“Don’t you get it?” He smirked. “I was using you from the start, and right now, I’m getting tired of you. You’re such a pathetic girl did you know that?”
I can’t answer him because it’s like there’s something in my throat. Everything he says makes me wish that this is just a dream. He’s not June. This is not my boyfriend for five years.
“What? Cat got your tongue?”
I started sobbing. This can’t be real.
“Augh. You’re so annoying. Did you know that all this time I hated you? I was just using you because you have some money and your family is wealthy, but your sister is hotter than you and smarter too. Did you know?” I was looking at him with teary and confused eyes. Why is he involving my sister now? What is really happening? Earlier he was just sweet as a cake, but now he’s like one of the devils.
“Did you know that I and your sister fucked multiple times behind your back?”
My eyes widened after he said those words.
“She’s so much sexier than you and oh! Did you also know that we’ve been planning this from the start?”
“J-June, please stop saying weird things!” I cried out when I finally found my voice.
“Oh, so you can still talk.” His voice is full of disappointment.
“Please.” I sniffed. My body is getting weaker. The things I heard from June, is it true? No, they couldn’t have done that! I’m sure my sister loves me.
“Tsk. Look here you bitch." He grabbed my chin harshly. “You’re going to die here today and Navia and I will live happily ever after.”
It’s like my whole senses became numb. Especially when he pushed me off. Everything slowed down.
Am I..falling?
June’s face was still smirking.
Did he push me? Why? We love each other. We love each other so much.
My mouth gaped open when I saw a face pop out next to him. It was none other than my sister, wearing a wicked smile as she watches me fall from this 20 story building.
I tightly closed my eyes. Is this the end? Isn’t it too unfair? I only wanted to live life with the man I love! Is that wrong for me to dream about?!
I clenched my teeth. If God would grant me another life, I’ll make sure to find out everything and get revenge on those two!
“Freya?” I flinched when that familiar voice called my name. I opened my eyes to see June. He looks way younger the last time I saw him.“What happened?” he asked in a worried voice. I quickly moved away from him while catching my breath. I’m so sure that I died, then why am I here? Why am I sitting in front of this asshole?“Freya? Are you okay? You looked pale earlier so I thought resting for a minute will be okay.” His voice sounds so gentle that it made me think that what happened was a dream.“Hey, what date is it today?” I blurted out while still processing the events that happened. I still can’t grope the idea that this is the reality. Everything was so detailed that I can’t call that a dream. I’m so confused.“What?” He snickered, “Did you forget it’s our first anniversary today? December 12, honey.”“Wh
“So how was school, hija?” (“Hija” in Filipino is a word that older people use to address younger girls) My dad asked as we gather at the dining table. It’s lunchtime and my family decided to gather when they heard Navia getting back. People in here are my Auntie who really favours Navia and Mommy’s sister, my grandmother and my father. The rest of the family that is not here are either dead or they just don’t care. My mom is not dead but she’s also not alive. She’s in a coma for three years now when she experienced a heart attack. She’s brain dead and the doctor said it’ll be a miracle if she would one day wake up. Of course, everyone love my mom so they always hoped for the best outcome for her. “It was fun dad. How about Freya?” She smiled sweetly. Her face was one of her advantages, even if I knew her true personality she can just get through the needle hole with that angelic face of her. I secretly gritted my teeth. She knows that I didn’t go to college
I can’t believe this is happening. All I wanted was to get a teacher, an ordinary teacher but here sitting in front of me is the person I didn’t even have interaction with him in my past life. How unpredictable is that?“So, you’re the student Mister Ancajas talked about.” His voice broke the awkward silence between us. Ever since my dad introduced us to each other, we’re in this awkward state. My dad was kind of busy so he sent us to his favourite restaurant where we can discuss this tutor life. Gin was willing to comply.Also, it’s not a big surprise that Gin wants to be a tutor, even though he’s one of the famous bachelors in town, he still needs money. From what I’ve heard he has three sisters. He’s the oldest among them so he needs to earn a lot because both of his parents are sick and needs treatment and their company is falling apart. In a social hierarchy, it is obvious that I am above Gin since we hav
“Oh really? I was curious since you both looked perfect so I came here and asked,” Gin laughed. His words made me want to throw a punch on his face. What an excuse.“I see. Is she your wife too?” June pointed at me, hiding in the cloth. I buried my face harder on Gin’s chest, trying to hide my wet eyes. I wiped it using the cloth that I hung around my head.“Probably.” Gin’s voice almost sounded like he’s angry but maybe I just didn’t hear it correctly. His grip on my shoulder tightened even more but not to the point where it hurts.After wiping the tears of the sudden shock, I looked at them again. The girl was just sitting quietly. Her long brown hair was covering her face and she’s crouching so it’s hard to see most of her features but I saw some bruises on her wrist.“Oh.” June laughed at Gin’s remarks. He then tapped the shoulder of his wife, “Say hello,&r
“I-I saw Miss Freya going into your room…”I scratched my ears as I listen to their nonsense story. The same thing happened before. My dumb self was framed and no one believed except for Navia who acted like a savior right in front of me. Well, now that I know this, I prepared a little bomb to drop for them.“What?” My grandma raised her voice, “Are you implying that my apo is the culprit?” (‘Apo’ is the Tagalog of ‘grandchild’) Her angry voice boomed and I saw how the maid’s hands shook in fear. I almost smirked but I kept it in. If it was in the past, I would cry immediately and deny things and that made everything worst. So right now, I’ll let my grandma handle this.“N-no, ma’am.” I can hear the maid’s sniffs. Poor girl. Bribed by the money of evil, now she’s in that situation.“My goodness!” Grandma t
“What the hell are you doing here?” I half-shouted at the man climbing towards my window. When he finally gets inside my room, I smacked his head.“Harsh.” He groaned but then laugh after. He faced me and waved a brown envelope in front of my face.“What’s that?”“Your weapon.”I scoff at his response. What? A weapon? Did he bring in some lethal things so I could get my revenge?“Are you stupid?” I glared at him. If looks could kill, he’d probably be dead by now.He shrugged and handed me the envelope, “Look at it,” Said Gin and sat on my bed as if nothing happened.“I’ll look at it after you tell me what the hell and how did you get in here?” I put my right hand on my waist and raised an eyebrow at him.“I sneak in of course.” He laid on the bed comfortably and closed his eyes, “It was a little difficult hone
“M – Marry?” I almost shouted in shock. This guy is making a deal by getting us tied? “Yes." His tone of boredom made me more nervous. This guy is something else. How could he talk about marriage like it's no joke? "Ah, seriously." I closed my eyes and calmed myself first. He's so annoying! How can a person be like this? Even the sound of his breathing annoys the hell out of me! “Think about it, pretty lady. Use that head of yours.” He rise up and went to my window, “I’ll get your answer next time we meet.” He winks and opens it. My eyes went wide when he just jumped off without hesitation. I quickly ran to see his state. I know that my room is located on the second floor and it’s not that high but still it can cause certain injuries if you jumped from this floor. “Are you crazy?!” I mouthed at the guy who’s standing like he didn’t just jump from a high place. He waved his hands at me and turned his back around before starting to run.That guy!
I was waiting for the painful impact but I felt none after a while. So I slowly opened my eyes to see my condition, maybe it’s a miracle that I can still walk or use one of my hands after this. I’ll surely find out who pushed me off!“You okay?” An unfamiliar voice caught me off guard. I look up to see blinding blonde hair and shining blue eyes.Who’s this?“Who’re you?” I raised my eyebrow instinctively. He looks like an American and I’ve never seen this man before. Not in my past nor in my current memories.“I’ll tell you once you get off.”I gasped when I finally assisted what situation I’m in. Basically, when I fell, this guy out of nowhere appeared and saved me like a knight. He has fast reflexes, I suppose. But who’s he?I quickly escaped away from his embrace, even if I was struggling in shock, he made sure to let go of me slowly and gently. I couldn&r
