-=Miranda's Point of View=-I woke up from the sound of my phone ringing, and when I saw it was Ram's calling, I immediately picked up the phone and answered it."Hello?""I'm sorry, Miranda, but I'll be running a little late because there's an accident that's causing the traffic to be so heavy," I heard him say and on the other line, I could hear the honking of several vehicles that may have been affected by the traffic jams. "That's fine, you don't have to rush, and please be careful," I added the last part since it was still fresh in my mind what happened to him when he tried to see Atilla.When he got into an accident a few years ago, he decided to see his now-wife Atilla reconcile with her, but because of the accident, Atilla left the country; it's been a couple of years since they met again, and finally reconciled; during those two years, I saw how miserable Ram was, and during those two years, Atilla and Ang became a couple. "Don't worry, I knew better, and besides, I couldn'
-=Ang's Point of View=-I told myself not to attend this event, but my desire to see Miranda was too much, that I found myself getting ready and going there.I promised myself that I would only watch her from afar, just like a creepy stalker, that for whatever reason, I would not approach her and let her know of my presence there, but when I saw and heard how an elderly woman was insulting and humiliating Miranda, I just couldn't stand and do nothing, while the woman I love is being disrespected.Without giving it much thought, my feet automatically walked on their own accord and approached them, and I immediately noticed the distress on Miranda's face while looking at her supposed-to-be mother-in-law, who didn't give a damn where she is and what this occasion is all about.If it were before, I may have agreed with this elderly woman, but after knowing the truth and accepting the fact that Miranda is not the horrible woman I pictured her to be, I just can't help but depend on and prot
-=Miranda's Point of View=-"Miranda, are you okay? I'm so sorry, I didn't expect Leonard's mother to show up," I could hear the frantic in Ram's voice, but quite honestly, I couldn't understand whatever he was saying.Aside from being rattled after being confronted with Leonard's mom, my main focus and attention was on the man who saved me from her, the man I didn't think would come a day to stand up and protect me.I silently watched as I continued to gaze at his back, and the strong urge to follow him after he left haunts me so much, that I wouldn't be surprised if my feet would move on their accords.I could feel the ache in my heart that I couldn't just ignore, an ache of seeing Ang from walking away, my heart was urging me to follow him and to tell him that I love him, but like a coward that I am, I just remained frozen to where I was standing.A deep sigh finally passed my lips, when Ang completely disappeared from my sight, and after looking in that direction for a few seconds,
-=Ang's Point of View=-I felt so disoriented when I woke up because of my phone ringing, the ringing continued telling me that it might be something important or maybe a persistent telemarketer who wanted to hit his or her quota, and if it was the latter, that person would be in big trouble.I didn't dare to open my eyes and just tried to touch the top of my bed where I remembered putting my phone, and luckily the vibration from my phone helped to find it."Hello?" I asked in a groggy kind of way.My eyes were still closed when I answered the phone, so I didn't know who was calling.Waking up with a hangover is not a great experience, but I needed to drink in order for me to momentarily numb the pain I was feeling for not being able to be with the woman I love."Hello, Ang, we need to talk."I felt suddenly awake as I opened my eyes in disbelief, looking at my cell phone since I answered the call, and Miranda's name on the caller ID only confirmed the truth that Miranda called me.It
-=Miranda's Point of View=-Ang looked dumbfounded as he kept looking at me with disbelief on his face, but the emotions that followed hurt me deeply when I saw his pain."Do you despise me that much that you want me to disappear from your life?" he asked, his voice filled with so much bitterness.I tried to resist the impulse to cry at the sight of its anguish because I needed to; I didn't want the day to come when he realized he didn't really love me and merely felt sorry for what he had done to me. "Believe it or not, Ang, but I don't despise you. I'm doing this for you because I know how important this opportunity is to you, and the only reason you didn't want to take this responsibility was because of me, and I didn't want you to do that," I said."I can't leave, Miranda, I love you," he said in his heartfelt voice, making me waiver, but before I could completely change my mind, I reminded myself what I think is the best for Ang."I want you to be sure of what you really feel fo
-=Ang's Point of View=-I can't believe that it's been a month now since I bottled myself up to the loneliness I was feeling after losing the woman I love. It pains me to set her free, but I have to, I needed to let her be with the man she really loves, the man who truly owns her heart, which is not me, unfortunately.Some people say that I was too nice for my own good and that I let important people in my life be happy and well, but that's just how it is, right?When you love someone, you want them to be happy, even if it hurts you. What matters is their well-being.Maybe I'm bordering on being a martyr, but that's just how I am, even when I was young.My feet felt heavy as I stood up from my bed, but the darkness of my room didn't hinder me because I knew every corner of that room, I chose to go out and headed straight to the wine cellar to get some alcohol because I ran out of what I took the other day.As I left the room, it was a good thing that no one greeted me, which suited me
-=Ang's Point of View=-"How long will you keep yourself locked up in sadness, Ang?!" My mom angrily said this to me when she entered my room that morning.To be honest, I don't know how long it's been since I let go of Atilla from my life, but even so, everything still hurts as if it happened just yesterday."Just leave me alone," I answered lifelessly. I woke up to her angry voice and was about to grab the bottle of alcohol by my bedside when she aggressively knocked it out of my hand, causing it to shatter."You want me to leave you alone? It's as if you're saying that I'm a useless mother," she said with pain in her voice. I couldn't stop the guilt from rising in my chest, especially since I knew I was becoming unfair."I'm sorry..." I said it weakly, feeling her concern for me."Ang, please think about it. We're here; we're your family, so we're ready to help you. Please don't push us away," my mom said as tears flowed freely from her eyes."I'm really sorry, Mom. I'm sorry for k
-=Ang's Point of View=-As much as possible, I try to avoid Miranda because I don't want to commit any mistakes. I don't understand why I am so attracted to her. I hate her, but I can't stop myself from lusting over her.This is not right, especially since she is my brother's wife. When I went to the US to stop Anthony from marrying Miranda, I immediately noticed the sexual attraction I felt towards her. No wonder she fooled so many wealthy men and convinced them to marry her before my brother. Atilla and I could have been together, and I love Atilla so much, but that doesn't stop me from having sexual attraction towards Miranda."Miranda Sandoval," I gasp as I remember seeing her swimming in a skimpy two-piece. I can only imagine removing her clothes with my teeth and tasting what's behind them. But I quickly dismissed those thoughts because it's not right. I quickly get up from my bed and try to remove those thoughts from my mind. "I need a woman, real bad," I think to myself.I che
