With so much going on every day I didn’t even realize it was the second semester coming.It's Friday and here we are in a group at a kiosk for a brief meeting. E-tech has asked us to make a film and the deadline is next week, so we have to shoot this weekend."Let's do a script reading later. After all, we're vacant for two hours after lunch. Kim and I will buy props and costumes when we get home." Kristell, our group leader, said.My companions nodded while our secretary wrote the planner. I closed my eyes tightly when I felt a pain in my head."When's the shoot?" Liam asked."Tomorrow, the call time is 6:30. Anyone who exceeds 7 will have a penalty, 50 pesos per minute." Kristine replied so many sighed. I took a deep breath and adjusted my seat to be comfortable."The heck, if I'm 30 minutes late I won't have an allowance for a day!" Behati's hysterical complaint."That's why you shouldn't be late, it's that simple. Now you can all go so you could have an early lunch and be back bef
It's 6:30 and I'm fully dressed for our shooting today. Kristell old me to wear clothes that were easy to take off so that I wouldn't have trouble changing clothes later.I just wore a white tank top, black high waist shorts, and black sneakers. I brought make-up and hair curler then put it in a paper bag before leaving my room.I caught up with Wyatt in the living room but he was not alone. Wyatt sat on a single chair sofa while Luke stood in front of the coffee table.I was surprised to approach them and they looked at me at the same time."Luke .. you didn't tell me you're coming," I said when I got closer, I wish I could dodge Wyatt's stare at me and walk away."We need to talk." He said straight away that I stopped. I turned to Wyatt who frowned and seemed puzzled.I looked back at Luke, "M-maybe not now, I'm off to somewhere with my group mates." I said and forced a smile."You're really not taking this seriously," he said so I held my breath. I was nervous that Wyatt would fi
"Get the fuck out of here." Kuya's eyes were serious. He has now entered my room and looks bad at Wyatt.I approached him to calm him down, "Kuya let me--" I jumped when he shouted at me."Shut up Lea!" I held my breath as his glaring eyes greeted me."Don't shout at her," Wyatt said calmly and was about to approach me when older brother Sage pushed him quickly."Don't fucking rule me, this is incest! You're fucking cousins for God's sake!" Wyatt's fist clenched but he didn't retaliate. I tried to hold my brother's hand but he turned it away from me."Don't touch me," there I fainted, the pain seen by his eyes angry and mixed with disgust. This is what I'm scared of, being trapped in a hazard without exit."Kuya ..." my voice trailed off with tears. "I'm .. I'm sorry--""Don't be sorry Bernice, it's not a fucking crime." Wyatt cuts to what I say, shit, I don’t know what to do."And you tolerate this nonsense ?!" Kuya threatened him."Sage! What the heck, let go of him!" I stopped bu
"Are you deaf? I already said I'm not coming, how many times do you want me to shout ?!" I shouted while sitting in the vanity chair and facing the vanity mirror. I frowned while glaring at my unpleasant reflection.The party ended early last night and there was even an after party at our infinity pool above. Dad had the bar fixed there before my debut so Brianna invited me and even brought the LCIU varsities. There were other San Carlos and UC natives we knew and I didn’t expect to go. It was already morning when we finished. I just know I had to distract myself with them to not waste my 18th birthday."And why? Just because you didn't get a facial yesterday?" Kuya Sage asked. I'm sure he's leaning against my door since his voice is a bit clear but not so loud. You think I debuted without a facial yesterday and then we're leaving again today?I rolled my eyes in the air. I can't believe he's talking casually to me again, after forcing me to break up with my first love. Gone the seri
After that conversation, I just focused my attention on the stage, it was the owner of this newly built hotel Marco Cielo who's talking."He's one of your godfathers, a close friend of mine," Daddy whispered to me and I nodded.Many photographers and reporters approached us to take a little statement from daddy about the next election. Many hoped that he would run for mayor of Cebu but he did not accept that because he was satisfied and busy with our company.Some asked me to take a picture and offered to feature me in their magazine as the heir to the largest shares in LCGC. I smiled softly and replied,"Thank you, but, I'm actually not eyeing for the CEO's position yet, as much as I can, I'd like to start from the bottom and buy shares along the way. My dad can still manage the company while I'm learning." I replied and they nodded.They have many more questions and I answered them one by one. When they left I turned to dad to say goodbye,"I'll just be in the rest room," I whispere
When I opened my eyes, the familiar color of the hospital greeted me. I frowned and roamed my eyes and saw Wyatt sitting and stooping, probably asleep. He was folded and his tux was hunged on the seat next to him.We were in a room and there were apparatus next to the bed but that didn’t connect to me because I just slept and I wasn’t in pain. When I remembered daddy I quickly rolled over and that created a noise in bed so Wyatt woke up as well."Bernice," he called and stood up while rubbing his eyes with one hand.I ignored him and went straight out of the bed, I no longer put on my heels and turned to walk out of the room."Bernice!" I heard him follow and when I came out I went straight to the emergency room.I saw the familiar doctor so I approached him. When he saw me he was stunned and didn't seem to know what to do."Doc," I called while panting, "I .. I'm sorry for earlier, I wasn't thinking straight." I'm sorry, he stared at me and I also don't know what I look like now beca
Tw: Self harm———To my recollection, I always get what I want, I don’t do anything wrong and I don’t step on other people. I lived in luxury and did not experience poverty. I am the happy go lucky princess of La Cuevas.But is there an adopted princess? Not a real child? An orphan?I was dumbfounded watching my reflection in the mirror. My eyes are swelling and sadness shows on my face. I still can’t believe it all happened at once. I feel like I’m so tired.I heard the vibration of my cellphone so I reached for it lazily. There were messages from Cora and Brianna that I was looking for because I hadn’t felt it in a long time.I sighed and threw the cellphone on the bed. I looked at my wall clock and noticed the time. I got up and went out of my room to go down and get daddy's medicine.There were medicines and vitamins ready based on dad’s drinking time so I didn’t have a hard time finding that in the kitchen. I carried them on a tray along with a glass of water and climbed up again
I came out of the room wearing a brown long sleeve sweater to cover my cut on the wrist, and black shorts. No matter how much I wanted to disappear and give up, I couldn’t. What if I still have a family? What if they are looking for me? How did I get here?I stayed at home for a few days, I rarely left the room but I never forgot daddy's medicine.How much more I want to know, see and get to know. I still have a lot to do. I realized all that when I almost fainted the other day while losing blood.There was no one in the living room and I knew dad and I were in the room now. I rolled my eyes and walked over to the kitchen to eat."Is it true?""I don't know, I just heard sirs talking earlier about the result of their dna .."My walk slowed spontaneously when I heard our kitchen helpers talking. So the test results are out now."Did you see him? She's a very beautiful lady, she looks like ma'am Francheska.""I didn't expect she was alive, didn't that girl die in the fire?"I frowned wh
