Hurt"Are you going crazy?” I couldn't believe it. I just can't. I haven't even completely moved on from Francis's family and then this? Can't anyone give me a break even for one second? "I'm afraid I'm being serious here, Miss Villareal." His business-like tone came back which had me wondering. As well as his cold gaze. And yet here I am hoping, slightly hoping, he had stopped being hostile with me as we spent time together. I want to laugh knowing that, right, we have to pretend in front of everyone. What was I thinking? It was foolish of me to think that somehow, he had softened toward me. I held in my tears, even my anger. He remained serious and unfazed. After a while, I gradually weakened, losing the strength to fight and give up. All these days I have been trying to struggle my way out. And now I am drained. I wiped the remnants of tears on my cheek. I stared at him boldly and nodded. "Whatever you say," I said out of breath. I didn't look at his reaction and couldn’t care

DevastatinglyLideon got me dolled up for the interview. In the hotel room where I was staying, I was restless and kept walking everywhere. I can't go out too in fear that one of the reporters would see me. Lideon also told me not to go anywhere. I looked at my reflection in the mirror once again to straighten up my face. I almost didn't recognize myself after dressing up and doing my make-up a while ago. The make-up artist managed to highlight my natural look with light touches. And from the usual ponytail and bun, she decided to let down my light brown and wavy hair. I don't usually wear this hairstyle because I thought it was messy to look at. The maroon tube-type dress also suits my pale skin. The stylist who fixed me earlier said that Lideon chose those, as well as the heels and accessories I'm wearing now. I haven't seen him since he picked me up early this morning. I had barely woken up when Papa knocked on my door to tell me that Lideon had come to pick me up. He was so cold

GoneHis parents met my father just like they wanted. I could feel my father’s nervousness and it was obvious in his movements. Ever since I told him about this meeting, he became restless. Apart from Lideon and me, he also knows that all this is just for show so I understand that he is not comfortable facing Lideon's parents. And just like me, he couldn't do anything about it.Lideon's parents are too nice that guilt is eating me up. To this day, I still don't understand how he can lie to his parents like this. He could've told them he didn't want to settle down just yet if that's what he feels.They started talking about the date of the wedding and all that. I just got more nervous. My mind is cloudy and I still couldn't believe this is happening."Oh, if you hadn't told us the day before, we wouldn't know you already proposed to her!" Mrs. Martin exclaimed almost in disbelief."I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to surprise her first then tell you about it,” Lideon murmured while sipping on h

Demise"Raul, please! Let me go just this once! I have to go to the hospital!"I couldn’t stop myself from shouting at the entrance of the hotel. I don't give a damn if I'm making a scene here. And I don't even care about the curious guests who are interrupted by my loud voice. Oh god. I need to see Francis! I need to go to him!"Mrs. Martin, I'm sorry. But Lideon ordered-""Damn that!" Hearing that name only irritated me more. But I immediately calmed myself down and begged again. My tears just won’t stop from flowing freely down my cheeks. "I-I have to go to F-Francis, please. Have mercy on me. J-Just this once," I cried still, getting weak now.It has been a while since Julienne's call and my whole body is still shaking. I don’t believe it. I can't believe it. He won't leave me. He can't. He promised.Those thoughts brought me to my knees. Raul caught me quickly but I completely lost my strength."Please," I sobbed."What is happening here, Raul?"I woke up when I heard Lideon's fam

Wife' 'You will be my wife real soon.' 'I love you very much, Almene.' I closed my eyes as those words kept playing inside my head. They sound like a lullaby trying to put me to sleep. My tears fell nonstop. As if it had finally sunk into me. He's gone. He's gone and he's never coming back. There is no hope of ever seeing him again. With those thoughts, my chest tightened with excruciating pain. That the only way I could lessen it is through hurting myself. But I feel that any physical pain cannot equal the pain in my chest. Still, just to ease it a little. "Babe, why does this have to happen? Y-You know I can't handle it. Y-You know I can't. You said you wouldn't leave me. Y-You said you'll be my family. B-Babe it hurts here so much," I cried pointing at my chest. I could barely breathe because of the tightness in my chest. I thought I had overcome the greatest pains in my life. From my mother's death, my father drifting away, and the sacrifices I made just to finish my studie

ChoiceNo matter what I say against us staying in the same room, he always has a reason for it. The argument is getting on my nerves and he seems to be enjoying it. "Isn't that why I said we would only sleep in the same room when your mom comes over? Why don't you still want to?" "I thought we're already done with this? I already said no," instead of answering my question, that's what he said. "Why? It's not as if we're a couple. Maybe you're forgetting that it's not written in the contract," I whined. While arguing with each other, I kept taking the food he cooked without me realizing it. I didn't realize I was eating a lot until there wasn't any food left on the table anymore. "And in case you already forgot, you agreed to my terms. It was all written in the contract. Seriously, did you even read it?" "Still!" "My decision is final. No more buts," he said and looked at my plate. He then smirked which left me speechless. "I'm glad you like the food." "U-Uhh," I cleared my thro

ChurnedI wasn’t thinking straight as we crossed the road to Francis' house. I can't forget what Lideon said because I know he will do everything he said if I did that. I know that. "How are you feeling?" Nathan asked while watching me from the rear mirror. I became nervous again with his question. And as we got closer, my chest gradually tightened. I cleared my throat and looked away. "I-I’m fine," I lied. "You know you're a terrible liar," Julienne softly whispered next to me. I was sitting between Julienne and Avery while Nathan was alone in the front and was the one driving. I don't know how they knew the village where Lideon's house was. I was surprised when they were already in front of the village gate when I got out. Avery gently grabbed my arm making me turn to face her. "We know you're not okay. You don't need to pretend in front of us." I didn't say anything cause I might not be able to control my emotions. I almost trembled when we reached the corner of Francis's ho

HusbandA loud knock woke me up one morning. I turned to the door and looked at it for a few moments, contemplating if I already have the guts and strength to open it. I still don't. So I turned again and just faced the window and stared into nothingness. How many days have passed since I went to Francis's wake? I can not remember. Julienne texted me saying his burial will be tomorrow. How should I feel knowing that? I don't know. I shuddered again when the door opened. That spat out the snarling Lideon. I looked at him for a moment and went back to staring out the window. I wanted to smile because of the beautiful plants and the moderate heat of the sun hitting my skin. But even moving my lips to do that seems difficult. "How long are you going to lock yourself in here like a dead person?!" I was almost deafened by his loud voice. I manage to stay in one of the guest rooms even though he doesn't want to. When we arrived home from Francis' house that night, I immediately entered on
