CHAPTER FORTY- THREE- IT WASN'T ME
LEONEL POV
"Do you think I can dress like a clown here?" Maurice teasingly asks me. Why will she ruin her face by dressing like a clown in a place like this?
"I think you can't," I tell her. I keep checking on the time in my wristwatch, and Joenabell is getting late. I hope she arrives safely.
"I am excited to meet her," She says in a shaky voice.
"You will, she is interesting," I smirk while my thoughts run in Joenabell's face.
"This place is so romantic. How did you know this place?" Maurice's eyes wander all over the place while I look at her scanning face.
"My mom and dad used to go out here for a date. They took me once here," I explain earnestly. I tap my foot on the floor, getting impatient for Joenabell's arrival.
I bite my lower lip. I am worried about Joenabell. Her voice hoarse when I heard her on the phone. M

I get startled, but I give him a nod.I quickly walk away from the place I stand. "JOENABELL!" someone screams my name.I did not turn my back to see who is calling me. All I want to do is to run away from this place. My legs tremble to see Kane watching me performing, so I run faster. I stumble and fall on the floor. Back when I was Joanabe, Kane caught me whenever I fall, but now I am all alone. My tears slide in my cheeks."Joenabell..." *IS KANE FOLLOWING MY FOOTSTEPS?*I quickly face the person calling and see..."Are you okay, Joenabell?" Leonel pants while looking at my face. I gulp to see him here. He morosely stands contemplating in my state. I tried to get up, but I struggle. Leonel rushes to my side and helps me to get up. He grabs my right hand and wraps it on his shoulder. He leans to support my body in standing. I groan in pain. "What the hell ha

KANE POVDID SHE ADDRESS ME IN MY FIRST NAME? AS WELL AS HER MOTHER? DID I HEAR IT RIGHT?This is the first time I see my daughter lashing out to me. I can't believe it. My heart feels like they are about to stop. I did not want my daughter to rebel against us. -Her parents. The way she controls her emotion is different from us. What's wrong with my daughter?"I am sorry, dad. We are both tired. Let's go home. Mom is waiting," Her hoarse voice says. My daughter finds it hard to move her feet. I notice. She is limping on our way here. I carry her in a bridal style. Her eyes look at me in surprise, and I give her a warm smile. Her actions may remind me of Joanabe, but her face and eyes are from us. It makes me happy that she is the fruit of Cheryl's love and my love. I want my daughter to be happy, but I do not want her to end up like Joanabe. It scares me. I have to protect her even if it means to sacrifice myself."You better not let any man carry you like this," I tease her, but she

I want to help her since the chores are too much for her body. Poor Nanny Karene."You are being called by your father, Joenabell." Karene stomps her feet while walking to me. I look at her in an awkward face. Why is she acting like this? Karene looks like a kid who lost her candy, pouting. I want to laugh at her face, but I don't think that is a good idea."You need to go," She says in annoyance. She stops stomping in front of me."What does he want?" I did not know why Kane calls for my presence. I keep thinking about what I have done. Was it because I sang a song? I shrug and nod at Karene.I walk inside the house and find them (Cheryl and Kane) standing in the living room. "Baby!

JOANABE (JOENABELL) POV"Idiot!" I say and giggle. His strong expression remains to look at my face."I think we should go before he finds us," I tell Leonel while looking at my open window, and he sighs. Then, he puts me down. Leonel grabs my hand, and I gasp in shock, "I think we should head out this way." Leonel leads the way outside using the green plants as a hiding spot."Hey, Leonel." I try to get his attention, but he hushes me by his finger, sending signals to keep me quiet. He leads the way out of our place. The irony this is my place, but he is the one doing the lead."We are almost there," Leonel announce. I roll my eyes and say, "I know, Leonel." He flinches at my words to him, but I snicker. We slowly move close to the gate, and I see Karene standing in a panic, sweating. "Let's go!" Leonel pulls me by force and drags me out.Karene finds us running. I s

JOANABE (JOENABELL) POVLeonel is about to say something, but I cover his mouth to keep him shut. I give him a sad look and say, "We should grab some food." I wipe my tears and unbuckles my seatbelt. Leonel doesn't want to let me go, but I protest. "Leonel, I know you want to know why, and there are a lot of things running in your mind, but let me tell you in advance, I am going to show you everything about me."Leonel firmly nods and gets out of the car to open the door for me. I softly thank him for being a gentleman. I look up to see the name of this small and simple restaurant. It's le petit dejeuner resto (little breakfast resto). I chuckle softly because the restaurant fits its name. I guess we are having toast with butter and jam, not bad for a day."You okay with this?" Leonel asks, concern. I smile at him. He pinches my nose, and I groan. "You look like Rudolph, the red nose reindeer," He teases. Wow! He h

ALEXANDRA POVI am packing my things to leave the country for good. I can't sell the house because this is full of my daughter's memories and emotions. It's valuable. So, I am keeping the property until the rest of my life. I open my daughter's room for the last time. The bed she used to lie when she is sad and need some rest. It all comes back to me in the sense that I can't let her go. I grab her white pillow and cry with my memories of her. She leaves me without a notice, and I can't accept the fact. I regretted leaving her, my biggest regret. I mourn over my late daughter. "Hello?" I hear the voice of a young lady outside my house. I let go of the pillow and say, "Mama has to go, Joanabe." I wipe my tears away to hide from crying. I quickly take the stairs to open the door. *WHO IS MY GUEST AT THIS HOUR?*I open the door, and I see little Boucher visiting me with a handsome, tall young man beside her. "What are you doing here, Joenabell?" I asked the young girl, who looks tear

I am in Leonel's car, but where is he? Where is he taking me? What happened earlier? Where is my mom? Did my mom leave already in the country?These questions keep popping out in my head. I open the door of the car to get out. The breeze greets my skin while my eyes see the sea. I think I am missing the vitamin sea, and it is soothing to me.I take off my slippers to walk in the sand, barefoot. I leave footsteps in the sand as I walk in peace. Leonel is smart, so I believe he will find me by my footprints."I see you are awake, Joenabell." I turn my back to see the person. It is none other than Leonel. A tear fall in my cheek. His eyes show concern. "Why
