(Reese's POV)  I was left inside of the library dumbfounded and alone after Coz hurriedly followed Echo outside. Coz was a bit annoyed or angry after what Echo said before going outside. Tell the truth before it's too late... That's what he said. What truth? And to whom will Coz tell the truth? First, it was Lex who confused me when someone sent him to warned me. Until now, that's not yet clear for me. Who the hell will sent him? And why the freaking hell would that person wanted to warn me? Then Echo mentioned something about why I was chosen by someone. And he didn't told me who's that someone. And now, he uttered something again about telling the truth before it's too late. Is everything that's confusing me and causing chaos to my mind connected after all? Ang nag-utos kay Lex at ang tinutukoy ni Echo, iisang tao lang ba? Bago pa akp mabaliw s

(Reese's POV)     PAGDATING ko sa bahay ng mga magulang ko—their home, not mine because the moment I moved out of it, I no longer considered it as my home—ay agad kong tinanong ang isang kasambahay na naabutan ko sa sala kung nasaan si Mommy. She told me that she's in the garden, watering her plants. I gave her a thankful smile before going to where my mother was.   Maybe she felt my presence that's why even though I was still meters away from her, she already turned to face me. She had this sweet smile plastered on her face.   "Destiny..." she said as she walked towards the table and chairs they're using when they want to relax here. "Sit down." Itinuro niya ang isang silya para umupo ako.   "Hi, Mom!" I put down my wallet and phone on the table before pulling the chair and sat down. "Whe

(Reese's POV)     I stopped typing when I heard someone knocking on my bedroom's door. With the thought that maybe it's Alice because I asked her to bring me snacks earlier, I went to the door and opened it with a wide smile plastered on my face. Kanina pa ako nagugutom pero dahil marami akong ginagawa, hindi ko magawang bumaba pa sa kusina para kumuha ng meryenda. That's why I asked Alice to do it for me.   But the moment I opened the door and saw who's standing in front of me, my smile immediately faded. Echo was looking at me with a bored look. Then seconds later, he held out the brown envelope he's holding to me. I know what it is because it's been a week since I asked a favor to him.   "One week, just like what I told you," he said after I accepted it. "Hindi ko na tatanungin kung saan mo 'yan gagamitin. Just promise me one thing."   "Promises are meant to be broken."  

(Reese's POV)  WEEKS had passed but I didn't even received a single message from my father's Secretary, or even from my mother. I was expecting them to call me and talk about our last conversation but nothing happened. But that's okay. Maybe they're still processing the things I told them. Hindi lang naman kasi basta-basta lang ang mga impormasyong sinabi ko. Until now, hindi pa rin ako kinakausap ni Lex. Matagal ko ng hinihintay ang tawag niya pero wala akong natatanggap. Hindi lang naman tungkol sa pinag-usapan namin ang gusto kong malaman sa kanya. Gusto ko ring magtanong tungkol sa kapatid ko. Wala na kasi akong balita sa tungkol sa kanya. I tried to asked one of his so-called-friends pero wala na rin daw itong balita tungkol kay Desiree. Gusto kong malaman kung kanino siya ipapakasal ni Daddy. Baka lang naman kasi konektado rin ito sa problema ko. Hindi man kami magkasundo ng kapati

(Reese's POV)     "ARE you okay?" 'Yan agad ang bungad ni Coz sa'kin ng lapitan niya ako habang hinuhugasan ko ang kamay ko sa lababo.   I closed the faucet before facing him and giving him an assuring smile that I'm okay. But no, I'm not really okay. Bumabagabag pa rin sa'kin ang mga sinabi ng Mommy niya kanina.   Am I really in love with him? My God! That's insane! How could I fall in love with him? I will never deny that he's handsome, like a Greek God, but he's a walking red flag.   "Are you sure?" paninigurado niya habang tinutuyo niya ang mga kamay ko gamit ang isang towel na ibinigay ng Mommy niya kanina.   I nodded again. His gaze was focused on my hands that's why I got to stare at his face. This guy... why is he acting so sweet towards me?   "Stop staring at me, wife."   I averted my gaze immediately. Pero agad din
