CHAPTER 1
"Are you sure you're going to study in Manila?" I snorted because I couldn't count the number of times Mom asked that question.
"Yes, ma'am. Mia told me that it would be easier for me to study in Manila because most of those who study there are able to make ends meet, right?" Mia is my friend here in the province who chose to study in Manila because of the difficulty of life in the province.
And because I was lucky, I passed the examination for a famous university in Manila. I had great hope to improve my studies to get ahead in life.
All my life, Mom and I were the only ones together. My mother told me that my father is dead because he had a heart attack when she was pregnant with me. When I once asked about my dad, she suddenly cried loudly so I didn't ask her again.
Mom has done a lot for me. I want to make up for supporting and educating me even though our lives are very difficult. I want her life to be comfortable.
My nose grew longer when I heard Mom's deep sigh. I closed the bag of clothes I was going to take to Manila and hugged Mom tenderly.
"Mom, you know I want to give you an abundant life, so I'm moving there," I said and snuggled closer to her.
"I understand. But I'm worried that something might happen to you," she said and stroked my hair.
"Nothing will happen to me, Mom. Besides, Mia and I are together."
I felt her bend down to look at me. So I looked up at her smiling. She laughed softly and kissed my forehead.
"My God, you are young. You always astound me with your beauty," she shook her head and laughed.
I giggled. "I belong to you."
"Okay, isn't your flight at two in the afternoon? It's better, Athena," I winced secretly. Just now she didn't want to let me go but it seems like she's pushing me away all of a sudden.
I nodded and took my bag to put it away. "I'm leaving, ma'am. I love you so much," I said smiling and kissed her on the forehead.
She smiled but there was sadness in her eyes. "Be careful, Athena. I love you too."
I forced a smile and waved her out the door. There is a part of me that is sad because my whole life my mother and I have been together. I'm not used to not being with her in everything.
"Are you leaving, Thena?" I stopped when I saw Aling Neila who had just finished cleaning their yard.
I nodded. "Yes, take care of Mom, huh? I'm leaving," I smiled and waved away.
I walked and ran to get to the terminal because I might be late for the bus departure. It is necessary to leave as early as possible so that there is no hassle in traveling.
Torture, especially at night.
Soon I was waiting at the terminal. I took a deep breath from exhaustion. I arrived just in time because the bus was still full.
I bowed and went inside. I immediately went straight to the end next to the window.
"Is it full?" the conductor turned to us and looked around. "Let's go!"
I wrapped my arm around my bag and looked out the window. The bus is starting to move. I was a little nervous and couldn't stop thinking about what my life would be like in Manila.
"Athena!"
Mia ran to me and hugged me tightly. "I missed you so much."
I smiled and hugged back. "I miss you too."
She pulled away and looked me over. She snorted, "What is that? Even though you just came from a flight, you are still very beautiful. Where's the justice?!"
I laughed softly while looking at her. During the two years that we didn't see each other, Mia got even better. Her smooth, brown skin shines every time the sun is out. She also grew taller. She could be a model because she is so beautiful.
"This is your room here. Alas! I'm sorry because it's a little small," she said while pointing to every part of the apartment she's renting here in Manila.
"Okay, that's okay for me. I'm the only one here, eh. Thank you so much!" I smiled and she hugged me tightly.
"Yes, by the way, have you eaten yet? The length of your trip. You look tired. Rest first and I'll cook you some food," she said one after the other and went to the kitchen.
"I'll take a shower first. Thanks again, Mia. I will pay you back when I save up. I will pay for everything you give me," I said sincerely and dropped the bag on the seat.
"What are you talking about! It's nothing, no. You have helped me and Aunt Amelia a lot since I was a child. Almost every day you spend, you also share with my mother," she said while slicing an onion.
"Mama and I didn't help you either. Let's face life together, eh."
She smiled and looked up at me. "Don't just quit!"
I laughed and shook my head and went into the bathroom to take a shower. I feel sticky because of the long flight.
"When does your class start?" Mia asked while spooning rice.
"On August 12, why?" I asked in surprise because we go to the same university.
Speaking of the university. I almost lost my breath when I found out that the university was so big and vast. It is almost the size of a town in the province.
I also found out that the tuition fee is too high. I'm very grateful because I'm a scholar and my personal needs are the only ones I'm going to have problems with here in Manila. As much as possible, I will improve my studies even more because I also know that if my grades drop, they will cancel my scholarship.
"On August 14 for me. The university has announced that the entrance for each course will be different now," she said.
My mouth fell open slightly. That's why. And at the first entrance, I will be alone.
"Your course is law, right? Isn't that stressful? Because I saw earlier that you have to study too many thick books," she said curiously.
I nodded. I'm in my 2nd year of college and the law course is really difficult. There are too many books that need to be read and the cases are given one after the other. One of the reasons why I studied here in Manila. There is a lack of education in the province due to poverty.
She snorted and leaned back in her seat. "Tourism is really something for you. I feel you will be soaking up too much. Maybe you will be too stressed?"
I laughed and shrugged. "It's okay, I really dream of becoming a lawyer," I frowned secretly. Aside from studying in the law course, my problem is confidence. Sometimes I get nervous whenever I debate or speak in front of a lot of people.
"It's your choice. Don't stress too much about it, okay? That might be bad for your health." I nodded and drank some water.
"Yes, by the way," I looked at her when she stood up and went to the living room. She opened the drawer and looked for something there.
"There!" she quickly came to me and presented me with the white box. "I bought that for you yesterday."
"What is that?"
"Open it, quick."
When I opened it, my eyes widened. I immediately covered it and gave it back to her trembling. "I-I can't accept that."
She looked at me curiously. "Why? That's really for you."
"I-I owe you a lot. I-I don't even want what I need, give me too."
She frowned and took the laptop again and presented it to me. "Alright naaaa! Accept it. You really need that for your studies. Especially if your course is law."
"Mia," I couldn't hold back my tears. Annoying! Why is this girl like this? I feel like a burden to her.
"Here she is! 'Do not Cry. Accept it. Besides, I also prepared for it, no. The allowance given to me is also big so I bought it right away. I know you don't have money to buy yet and pasu is coming soon-" I couldn't stop hugging her.
I felt her hug me back and rub my back. "I love you so much, Mia. I'll see that it's all a debt of gratitude. I promise, I'll repay you."
She laughed softly. "I love you too, Athena."
I broke away from the hug and wiped my tears. "I'll make it up to you-"
"There you go again," she frowned. "I don't have all of this, eh. Besides, I wouldn't have been able to come here to Manila if you didn't help me review for the exam!"
I snorted, "You answered and not me."
"My God, Athena. Oh that's it. Let's not even think about that. Try the laptop," she said.
I drank water and came to her, opening the laptop she was holding. Even if she doesn't want to see my debt, I will still take it back from her.
Joanna didn't hesitate to return to the Philippines to fulfill her closest friend's request. Her mission: to seek revenge on the eldest child of the Villa Franca couple. Upon arriving in San Andres, where Hacienda Villa Franca is located, she stayed at a resort for a few nights. The opportunity seemed fitting as the Villa Franca siblings were present. The challenge was that she didn't actually know which of the two handsome men had hurt her friend Ivy, and Ivy never mentioned a name before disappearing from the world. So, Joanna observed discreetly and felt her way through. Until the mischievous-looking guy called his brother 'Kuya' without moving his lips for a smile. The one with the dangerous look, yet so damn gorgeous and hot: Nash Villa Franca. Joanna executed her plan without hesitation... Will she succeed?
"Just stay by his side until he remembers everything." "No. I have money, Ylona. I don't need your money," I told her coldly. "Why are you so hard to get? We need your help because Hercules is finding you! I'm his fiance but he can't remember anything! why does he have to look for you and not me." Frustration filled her face "That's not my problem anymore. If this is all we're going to talk about, I don't want to. I'm leaving," I told them coldly. I stood up and walked towards the door. I was about to go out when I was stunned by what he said. "You don't want? Then just wait, Talitha. Your money will disappear." I clenched my fist because of what he said. I didn't look at them anymore and walked straight out. I didn't pay attention to the way they looked at me. this is the last step I will take again. I traveled again towards La Consalancion because I had a lot left to do. It's been a few days since we talked to Hercules' family. They didn't bother me again and that's a good thing. I followed him with a smile while he smiled as he waved the toy. Caitlin is not here because she has a job at the resort that I also own. After we broke up, I left and started my own business. "You want more?" I asked him smiling. He quickly nodded. "Lithaaaa!!!" I stopped eating Baby Hero when Leon, my gay friend, came. "Why, Leon?" I asked him in wonder "Mrs. Galvez was at the resort. I'm looking for you and have companions, rich people." I felt my heart beat because of what he said. Rich? Maybe it's not them. I took Baby Hero from the chair and lifted him up. "Alright, I'm going. Come with me." Mrs. Galvez is the owner of the land where my resort is located. I just held my breath before I got on Leon's tricycle. In less than a few minutes we arrived. I see Caitlin who is outside the resort and seems to be waiting for someone. when he saw me, his face seemed to light up and he quickly approached me. "Litha, good and here it is. Here are the parents of your ex-husband," he whispered to her. I bit my lip before I gave him Baby Hero. Take care of him first. I first kissed Hero who was now smiling at me. "Mrs. Galvez," I called the lady. It quickly stood up and looked at me. "You're here, Ms. Fernandez. I want to talk to you about the land that you haven't fully paid yet," she said. I didn't look at them and only at Mrs. Just Galvez. "Can you straight to the point, Mrs. Galvez?" He sighed first. "I'm selling it to the Guevara couple." "We have something to talk about, Mrs. Galvez," I said emphatically. "Business is Business, Ms. Fernandez." got up and left so the three of us were left. My fist clenched because of the anger I would feel. Heartless! "What are you doing this to me? You said I don't want to enter your world! Haven't you put me through enough?" I told them without emotion "Even me, I will never let you into my daughter's world, Talitha. But because my daughter needs you, I will do it for her, even though I hate it." "I hate it too, Ylona. I hate it because I became your mother-in-law," I told her without emotion. he quickly looked at me and glared at me. "You hate me but you're here in front of me now and you're forcing your son to care for me?" "Because he needs you, Talitha! I'll pay doub—" I was startled by a small hand resting on my thigh. I looked down and a smiling child was looking at me while he was presenting something. "M-Mom!" "Hero..."
"Where did that go?" I asked myself again. We're not friends but we're pretty close to each other, and I know he rarely goes out or leaves his office. "Maybe it's just there." I answered myself again and then searched. The whole library is spacious because this school is also large. Some students here are sons and daughters of business tycoons and politics so it's not surprising. I've almost gone around all the bookshelves with their backs to each other but I still don't have mika, so does Arries, it's amazing, especially since I feel different. Girls instinct matches. in the back I could not go so I went there when I heard someone talking, as if whispering. I know Mika and Arries, because I haven't seen anyone else yet and go home, especially since Mika is the only librarian here and I also saw Arries enter here. I was about to turn around to prove that they were when I heard a growl. "Ahh Arries maybe someone will see us here." The woman growled at Arries. My chest throbbed with excitement, "No! This cant be!" My brain objected. Arries was inside and if I'm not mistaken Mika was the woman who moaned earlier. my tears are already dripping, I can't accept, but my mind is trying to focus that it's not them, that other Aries and Mika are inside, but who did I fool? There are no other names for those two here who are our co-teachers, if there is a student it is very impossible. "Ohh shit! I really love you Mika." The man growled. There I stopped sobbing when Aries proved that my boyfriend was doing nonsense right inside the library, he was still the principal but he acted like a pig. I still accept that he hangs out outside but what he does right here inside the school is too much. To hurt myself even more and prove to myself that my boyfriend and my co-staff are doing the miracle, I peeked, I saw that Mika's uniform was almost open as well as Arries who was in a hurry to get down and remove the belt and open the zipper of the dress. I tried not to make any noise, during the time that Arries and I were together I didn't even notice anything strange about him, he was as tender as the first time we were so it was hard to accept for me. We've been together for four years but I think that's not enough when it comes to talking about the flesh. the entire staff as well as the students knew the relationship between the two of us, others were expecting the wedding we were going to but it wasn't. that's why he hasn't processed yet, he already has someone else, I didn't pay attention to that before because maybe he just had a plan but this is the answer. anger took the place of the love I felt here, so I hurriedly took my cell phone to take a picture of them just in case I could use him. To the two of them. It's bad if it's bad but I'm just hurt too. it's a good thing they were so greedy for each other that they didn't even notice my presence, but that's good too. Slowly I took the steps towards the exit door and when I thought I was far away from them I slowly ran out. I don't care if it creates a sound, even if they chase me they won't see me anymore. They are also far from the door so I have a strong feeling that they will not be able to chase me. the gate show is still shedding my tears, it's a good thing the sandal I used is only 2 inches high so it's not hard for me to run. Fortunately, there were no students, staffs, only the guard was there but I didn't pay attention when I heard him greet me. I just wanted to leave, get stuck in that place.
On the first day of school the large gate of Axford University opened early for students required to enter. there are transferees and most are former school students. But all attention was taken away when a young woman got out of an expensive car. "Angel" "Pre am I in heaven yet?" "Shit. She's beautiful!" "The smoothness is damn." "Pres.

"Then who owns you?" he asked, I could feel and smell his hot and fragrant breath. "I-i-it is yo-you sir," my lips parted as he suddenly came closer to me, bringing our bodies closer together, it's too late for me to close my mouth when I feel his lips on mine. when our lips parted, we both gasped, "then stop making me jealous, because you don't want to know what this friend can do to you."
