SAFARRAH POV
"please, even if it's just today, hon. " my mother begged.
" what the hell shaina! can you shut your f*cking mouth?! " dad shouted and he pushed mom.
" this day is really important to us hon, it's our anniversary please give it to me. " mom added.
" IMPORTANT?! it's only important to you, not mine. " dad answered I saw my mom cried again. I know the feeling of being hurt. It hurts me to see mom crying.
" because what? are you going to see your girl? you always go there. I AM YOUR WIFE DENSON! we're having a child-"
"so why do you need to cheat on me? " mom added.
"yeah, wife? child? at first yes I was happy. But what? you are the reason why I am like this today. So don't ask me "why". " dad answered sarcastically and then he left.
why their always arguing? they did not agree. We're not like this before.
Mom is always chasing my dad even if she always hurts. We always ask dad for time, mom always asks dad for attention.
Mom told me that dad had an affair with another woman. But it's not too late
mom who is that
I just shook my head and decided to go to the bedroom, get a hoodie and go downstairs.
"Sweetie? where are you going? " I turned around, it's mom.
"I'll go to dryz mom first. I said and smiled.
"take care. she answered.
(TIME SKIP)
" aunt madi? where's dryz po? I asked.
" hey farrah, are you dryz? he is in the garden. Aunt Madi answered and smiled.
"Okay, thank you. I said.
while i was walking.
"Who is the girl you are always with? " a girl? who is he?
"oh, it's safarrah. " I heard dryz answer.
"Maybe it's him, I'm jealous of him" the girl said which stopped me.
"why? she's my friend. So why are you jealous? " dryz asked.
" You are always together, then I noticed that the girl friend of yours seems to like you. she answered.
" ah haha no it's not like that Venice. Of course she's my childhood friend. " dryz answered.
I saw the girl's face, she's pretty. I was stunned, she was beautiful, brunette and seemed kind. Her name is Venice by the way.
" but even so, I'm still jealous because you two are closer than us. Venice said.
" So you told me that you have a crush on me and I have the same crush on you, I hope your friendship is just a distance. I was shocked. Does he want me to avoid that?
"hmm, she's always there for me even if I don't need her. " dryz answered. If so...
" Huh? hahaha funny is he squeezing himself into you? " Venice said jokingly.
"yeah like that. " dryz answered.
"Do you like him? she asked. I smiled.
I held my chest, it was beating one after another. Why bother me? but does dryz really like me?
"No. Actually I hate her. she's so naughty and always seems to need attention. " I wiped the tears that fell from my cheeks.
After that I didn't listen to it at least I know the side and I heard it from dryz myself.
But even if he doesn't like me, I won't stop.
I am Safarrah Swayze, a 14 year old girl. And he's aeson dryz enrille my ultimate crush.
SAFARRAH POV
" dryz! can we be together? I asked.
he stared at me and later on he answered "sure" he bored answered which made me smile.
" will you ride a motorcycle? " I asked in surprise.
does he know how can I hurt him?
"yeah" he answered.
"Wait! what? are you sure you know? I asked nervously.
"tsk, what do you think? " he asked back.
" Can we take a taxi? maybe the uncle and aunt didn't know that they were driving a motorcycle, uncle said it would be okay to drive a car first. I said.
"pshh, if you don't want then I won't force you. he said.
"I didn't say anything that I didn't like" I replied and left.
"Wait! how is it? Hey, I don't know how to-"
" AHH DRYZ! " I shouted as he picked me up.
" did you get it? " he asked and got on. He was so fast that I didn't even notice.
" how can I get it you carried me? " I said annoyed which made him laugh.
I'm not used to what he expects now, he's such a moody guy. Or am I just assuming?
I grabbed his shoulder, I didn't know if I was holding his waist or his shoulder.
I gasped when he took my hand and put it on his waist. Maybe he also noticed my look.
I stared at him so seriously. Why is he so always serious? that you can't joke.
He's so handsome. So how can I stop myself from falling in love with him? sometimes that makes me think of the woman he was talking to, Venice.
He's so sweet with Venice. When he talks Venice his voice is so calm, he laughs.
But when I do, you think I'm always angry or on my period. He was very naughty then until now.
" stop staring at me like that, you might melt later. he chuckled.
I smiled because of that, he speaks Tagalog very slang.
"hey, are you sleeping? " he asked as I leaned my face against his back.
" nah, I can't sleep" I smiled i hope we are always like this.
(TIME HAS PASSED)
"we're here" I stopped when he removed his helmet, his hair was messed up as if he had just slept.
"Hey. he said. I returned to my trance and slowly descended.
" WAIT WAIT! I can't remove the helmet because it's hanging on my earring. " I said annoyed. That's why I don't want to ride a motorcycle because you can take a taxi.
" remove it! " i added I stopped as I held his hand tightly.
" d-get out b-we're late. "
"gotcha" he said when I removed it I was stunned by how it messed up my hair.
" let's go! " he said and pulled me.
There is something really different about him. I was wondering why he agreed to let me go with him because he didn't want anyone with him.
As I was thinking, I was stopped when I saw the figure of a man, I think it was dryz's age.
he starting me so serious, what is his problem? I think I've seen him before but I can't remember where.
who is he? he's so mysterious.
"Hey! safarrah, let's go! " said dryz annoyed which brought me back to my trance.
"S-ige" I answered, I looked back to where I saw the man, but he was gone.
"DRYZ! finally you're here. " I turned my gaze to the woman.
it's venice...

"Calista!" Nix called out to me. "What? Is there a problem?" I felt the tension in his eyes. "You're not going to jail anymore, Caliee. The accident proved everything!" He shouted, embracing me and kissing my forehead. I couldn't help but slowly start to cry. "It's okay, Caliee, I told you that you're innocent." "T-thank you, Nix." I checked all my social media accounts and found both negative and positive comments at the same time. This is the reality that I can't avoid haters in the online world. Many are on my side, many are on Caleb's, as if we're fighting our own beliefs. I sat down on the couch, feeling incredibly happy and anxious at the same time. I know Caleb won't give up on me. "Calista!" I heard someone call my name outside the hotel door. "Come out!" they shouted, banging on the door. When I opened it, the heavily intoxicated Caleb greeted me, "C-Caleb?" I asked. Many were holding him back, but he was struggling, "L-let go, bro." He looked at me as if scrutinizing my entire being. "Fine! Let out your anger on me, what else do you want? Everything's been proven... It was all an accident!" As the guards left, he entered my room, slowly approaching me until I leaned against the wall. His eyes were filled with rage and hatred, as if he could kill me at any moment. "W-what do you--" I couldn't speak anymore as he punched the wall next to me. “Why, Calista? Why did you take away the woman I love?" He shouted at me while continuing to cry. "W-what do you want!" I shouted back, pushing him away. He threw my belongings, hitting my foot, causing me to stumble. "D-damn it, what!" I held my injured foot, looking straight at him, observing his angry face. I took a deep breath and spoke again, "What do you want to make you quiet? My body? Money? Wealth! That's all I have! If you want me to bring back your fiancée..." "I'm not God! Do you understand? If I could bring her back, I would've done it already, I regret it every day, every hour." I want this to end, I'm so tired. I can't take it anymore. I straightened my head bravely. I uttered the words I knew I would regret. "If I have sex with you, will you forgive me?" I bravely asked, tears slowly streaming down my cheeks. He stared at my entire body, unable to even look into my eyes. "I will never forgive you," he replied weakly and hoarsely. "Why? It wasn't intentional, it was all an accident! It's not my fault that your fiancée died, I lost my brakes, how many times do I have to tell you that I-I'm not at fault!" "It's your fault! because damn you, why? Calista? why did you kill my fiancée!" A loud shout stunned me. It's not my fault, it's not my fault, it's an accident, I didn't mean to kill anyone, I didn't have brakes that day! "Why don't you just give up? Why do you still fight for your beliefs, even though both of us know that it's really you! f*ck you! Calista." I took a deep breath and looked at his face. "W-will you have sex with me! After that, my debt to you will be paid, can we do that, prosecutor Villanueva?" I bravely asked again. He stared at me, unresponsive. "Stop," he shouted loudly. "Why? Don't you want to? So I can pay you back! You'll disgrace me! Take away my dignity! Because it's my fault! Because I'm a b*tch! Because this is what you want, to feel every day that something is being taken from me! That I'm being robbed! But you don't want money, you want me to regret it every day, so here it is." He approached me and kissed me, my tears flowing as he kissed me, while he undressed me, I was sobbing softly, he continued kissing me, from my ears down to my neck, he observed my entire body. He slowly laid me down, slowly removing my clothes, as he did, I closed my eyes. He continued to explore my body, from my thighs to even the deepest parts of my femininity. DESCRIPTION: "Caleb Wyven Villanueva" is a prosecutor who is willing to do everything for his loved one, recognizing nothing, but what is in accordance with the law. But what if one day this man wakes up that the woman he loves is already de@d? Will he fight for her? Or will he just let go?
"Leave me alone, Shantal!" ash said annoyed to me. He's my husband, actually I'm probably the only one who calls him husband because he never once considered me his wife. And his family just forced him to marry me, so he followed it against his will. I smiled at myself in front of the mirror and wiped my tears. I know that he didn't love me, because he still hopes that his ex girlfriend or let's say ex fiance will come back to him. Our scene at the mansion is always fighting, sometimes he ignores me like I'm just wind by his side. And most of all we have different rooms, I laughed at what I thought because the other couple had only one room but we didn't. "Let's eat ma'am" I heard the knock in my room."yes manang" I said. I stood up and went downstairs and saw my husband done with his meal and ready to go. "Are you going to leave?" I asked, he just looked at me and left, not even an answer. I ate quietly by myself and just ignored it. After I ate, I decided to go to mom's mansion, but I was just outside the gate when I felt weak and I could barely handle what I saw. I saw ashton leaning in his car while kissing with someone. __________

"TODAY is our fourth anniversary. Then... T-Then... Are you just playing with me? Tell me, Jai. Do you really love me?" I asked him while I was crying. It feels like my chest is being stabbed with a sharp blade and it seems non-stop, so I feel more pain in my heart. "I love you, Miamor. I love you, so much, baby..." "But you can leave me just like that and marry your best friend?! Or are you just lying? That you don't really love me and that Jillian is exactly who you want to be with and not me!" I screamed and my tears started falling down my cheeks. My chest is just getting tighter and it seems I'm having trouble breathing again. Feels like a big hand is squeezing my heart. "I love you, Miamor but I want to help Jillian. She needs--" "You don't love me, Jai! I never felt that love! You give it to others and not to me! So, you can hurt me like this! You are only doing this because of your best friend! So, that you and Jillian can be free!" I said, it's roaring. He just shook his head at me and I could see tears also falling from his eyes and he even bit his lower lip. His fist was tight so his veins came out there. "I'm sorry..." What he said made me even more sad. Four years. We've been in a relationship for 4 years and I admit to myself, I never felt the love he says. Cause he always thinks of Jillian. I knew that girl had a space in his heart, because otherwise... If he really loves me he will choose me, and he will leave Jillian, not me... "I regret giving myself to you. I regret knowing you and wasting my time just to love you. What a coward you are!" "SENATOR Ferrara?" It seems like I woke up from a deep slumber of my past when I heard my secretary's voice and a faint shaking on my shoulder. I sat down and fixed my glasses. I was still breathing before I turned my back on her. "Are we here yet?" I asked, no emotion and she just nodded at me. We just got back from Manila because I had an urgent meeting in Singapore with Dad but he came back here earlier. The door on my side opened and I unbuckled my seatbelt and slowly got out of the car. As usual, we are visiting the patients who were victims of the fire last week. Well, it's in my heart to help my fellow Filipino, but the citizens won't believe because they will say that we are just showing off. Who wouldn't, if you're in the world of politics? De Cervantes Hospital, I know the owner of this hospital. A close friend. I shrugged when I remembered my referring friend. I have five bodyguards with me and my secretary Red Michigan. Others bring relief goods. The ward of the fire victims is on the second floor so, we took the elevator. I took off my glasses and gave this to my secretary. The elevator opened, a sign that we are already on the second floor. I was about ready to go out when I saw a doctor standing across from me. It's like he's waiting for the elevator to open too. The guy is tall and has a big body. He is slightly bent over while reading what is on the paper he is holding right now. One hand was stuck in his pants pocket. He was wearing glasses too. But his build is familiar to me. I just don't know why my heart reacted so fast. I got out of the elevator completely and accidentally broke his shoulder. "Damn it," I heard him curse and my eyebrows just rose up. I rolled my eyes. For the second time around, I got pulled over again when I stepped on something. I took it and checked the ID. Only to make my heart beat faster when I read the name of the owner. Dr. Jaickel San Amero. Neurologist Doctor. I faced him, "This is yours?" I asked him with no emotion written on my face. He stopped and looked at me. I can't see him in shock because he has no emotion either. I stepped closer to him and he didn't even avoid my gaze. I don't know if he recognizes me yet or not. "You drop this, Dr. American," I casually said and handed him his ID. He quickly snatched it from me without interrupting staring at me. No word I turned my back on him then walked straight on. After so fvcking years... Our paths crossed again, Jai. What a luck. I'm Miamor Ferrara, I'm Senator and medicine inventor. That man is my ex-boyfriend. The world is really small for us. I smirked
“LUCAS!” I happily called my husband when I saw him outside the small house. He just stood there. I opened the door of my car and hurriedly got out and ran to where he was. My tears flowed quickly and the heaviness in my chest suddenly disappeared when I saw him after two years of his absence. "Lucas..." I cried, saying his name and hugging him tightly. I could feel his stony face and I knew he was surprised by what I did. "I-I miss you so much, Lucas... I've been looking for you for so long... I thought... I-I thought I'd never see you again..." I told him crying and I buried my face in his chest. My tears fell one after the other. He has been missing for two years after the accident happened to him and we have not been able to find him. Most people said that he might be dead, even though we didn't see his body. It was raining heavily at that time. The ship they were on sank and we spent several years looking for him. I never got tired of looking for him because I knew...he was alive. My husband is alive... He promised that he would never leave me. He promised that we would be together forever. That's why I felt so much pain when we lost him and fortunately his friends helped and we found him in a distant province. Even though it was dark, I still came out. I miss Lucas so much that I couldn't wait any longer. I traveled alone to this place. I just cry on his chest but I feel like he doesn't move. But I didn't pay attention to that and I hugged her tighter. "B-Let's go back, Lucas... Let's go back to Manila... S-I missed you so much... I love you... M-I love you so much..." I said and he started moving . I thought he was going to hug me back but I was wrong. He slowly released my hands that were hugging his body and retreated slightly. “L-Lucas?” I said his name in confusion. Why is he walking away and why? "Bythesea..." he said my name. I nodded tearfully. "Y-Yes, it's me... It's me, Lucas... I'm Bythesea..." I said. “Only a few of my memories came back but...” According to my private investigator, Lucas developed amnesia due to his head injury. That's why he didn't come back to us right away because he forgot about us. It was painful for me that my husband would forget me, but it all disappeared when I saw him again. I was so happy and the iron-like thing attached to my neck disappeared so I can breathe well. "U-Let's go home, Lucas..." I said and held his hand. I felt something cold on his finger. I looked down at it and I thought at first it was our wedding ring but I was wrong... This is no longer her ring... I stopped crying for a moment and my lips parted. I looked at him again... "Lucas..." "Franko, dear?" I froze when I heard a woman's voice and she approached my husband. He hugged his arm and he didn't notice me yet. "Franko, it's foggy here. You might get sick... Come inside, my love...” My chest felt numb at what I heard and I looked confusedly at Lucas who was no longer looking at me. But with the beautiful woman... There is a sparkle in her eyes... That I only see every time she looks at me. Why do I see that in others? I cried... It was like I felt a little jealousy. "Come on, Franko..." "Just a moment, dear..." I suddenly felt soft... My knee immediately shook. What... What's dear? Who is he? Who is this girl? B-Why... "W-Who are they?" "Who are you?" instead of answering him I just returned his question. "Who are you?" I repeat my question. "My name is Nenina. Franko is my husband. M-Do you need anything?" My eyes quickly searched for an evidence if what they were saying was true. It was like something like a knife went into my chest when I saw the partner of the ring that my husband was wearing... “L-Lucas...” "Franko... His name is Franko..." the woman corrected me and I shook my head. I started crying again. I can't even wipe my cheeks anymore. “Lucas... W-What is this?” It took a long time before he answered me... "I'm married to Nenina, Bythesea... Sorry..." I clutched my chest. I was deafened by what I heard and felt like the world stopped spinning. My heart stopped beating for a moment until it started beating faster. "Lucas..." I can't accept... How...is he already married to someone else? W-We are married... He is my husband... Lucas is my husband...
