“She?” Alexander kept thinking for a long but still didn’t have any meaning for his grandmother’s words.“See, I told you, you were stupid. I’m talking about Maya. She left,” she said, glaring at him. As the words started to sink again, Maya watched as all the colors drained from her grandson’s face.He suddenly stood up, his expression unreadable. “What do you mean, she left? Where did she go?” Alexander asked. His voice was noticeable higher, as if he was unable to keep his calm any longer.Sicilia released a heavy sigh once more. She then bitterly said, “Did you not hear what I said? Maya left. She already took her things and went to the airport. I tried to stop her, but...” The elderly woman shook her head sadly.There was a long silence between them. Who knows how long Alexander was silent when he asked. “Why?” The question was more of a whisper, and he w

Dan seemed to surprise, even when he asked, “Why? Would you like to see me every day?”Yet before Maya could even say anything as she was considering her options, a man suddenly sat in front of her leaving her surprised and somewhat furious.The man shot Dan a look that made Dan gulped and said, “Okay, call me whenever you’re ready to order.”As soon as Dan left, Maya’s eyes were fixated on the man- it was definitely Pete.The striking resemblance made it so obvious. Maya shivered in fear by his sudden appearance, but she gathered the courage to ask as she glared at him, “What are you doing here, Pete?The man across her smirked, he had the same face as Pete, but for some reason, Maya felt like it wasn’t really him. The man finally met Maya’s gaze and replied, “You called me Pete again. I told you I’m not Pete.”Maya squinted her eyes in disbelief. She asked passively, &

“You don’t have to keep me here.” Maya looked away, “I have no intentions of coming back to steal him from your sister.”Maya was disgusted by what just came out of her mouth. Steal? Maya thought, what an odd thing to say since Alexander was hers first and Stephanie was just some political marriage pawn. Still, Maya knew she couldn’t compete.“Then we won’t have any problems if that’s the case.” Pedro remarked, “You see, I… love my sister more than anything in this world, and so, anyone who would try to hurt her shall suffer tenfold the pain inflicted on my sister. Don’t even think about it.”Maya scoffed, “Of course. You kept me stuck here, after all. What could I possibly do?”Maya knew it wasn’t wise to argue with Pedro about Stephanie because, from the looks of it, Pedro seemed to spoil his sister big time. Maya heard rumors about how Stephanie was t

Maya almost trembled from fright. She yelped as soon as her back hit the wall forcefully. Nevertheless, she would not easily back down. Thus, with all her strength, she stepped on his foot.Pedro groaned in pain but did not let her go completely. He was glaring at her when he removed his hand from covering her mouth.“You’re going to break my limbs!” Maya said as soon as he let him talk while glaring at him murderously.She was trying hard to push Pedro off her, but he was obviously stronger.Thankfully, he lessened his grip further. “You are courageous, Maya,” he said with a grin, but his eyes were looking at her coldly.Maya continued to glare at him, not showing any signs of backing down. She gathered her strength and pushed him away. This time she was successful.However, Maya was still cautious. “Stay away from me, or I will tell Pete,” she said as she continued to look at him with all the anger

Maya was thinking so many things the night before. She was actually surprised herself when her personal talk could be so depressing and sometimes positive as well. It was the result of being idle, alone in the room, and nothing better to do. In fact, Maya had already researched the people she still knew on F******k. Of course, she did have those people. It was just that she was so busy before, and when she was trying to add them as friends, she realized that there were people with the same name. In the end, Maya gave up the night and decided to rest. She also had decided to blame everything, Pedro. Well, she could also blame Stephanie, but Pedro was the closest to her now. She could not even retaliate to Stephanie herself, as Pedro seemed to be the older brother who would kill for his sister. One thing was confusing though, if Pedro loves Stephanie so much to the point of semi-kidnapping her, then why was he not in her wedding? That was a ques
