“Phyllis is fine now. She just needs more rest.” Phyllis' brother, Phylian heaves a sigh of relief. His hands, which were shaking in anxiety, gradually calmed upon hearing the doctor's words. Now that he confirmed that his twin is alright, he can now be at ease. What he only needs to worry about is how he is going to deal with his sister's dance partner. “What caused her to faint like this?” Leila asked. “She fainted due to exhaustion and stress. There might be a trigger to this, do you guys perhaps know?” Rui and Leila both glanced at Phylian, awaiting his answer. Phylian bit his lips as he nodded his head slowly. “She's afraid of blood.” “Hemophobia, I see. Then you should never let your sister encounter this again to avoid getting triggered,” reminded the doctor. “We will do our best, doc. Thank you.” The doctor nodded before heading out of Phyllis' room. The three were left with Phyllis, who was still unconscious. They were all just sitting on the sofa, aimlessly
Now back to his clean and usual self, Aster nervously faced the three in their living room. His legs couldn't stop shaking as he anxiously waited for them to speak. Even though he wanted to say sorry, he doesn't have the courage to say so. Every time he wishes to speak, his tongue stops as soon as he meets Phylian's sharp eyes. Phylian has the same almond eyes as Phyllis'. However, his eyes were darker and colder. His thick eyebrows even made him look more intimidating as they darkened his eyes more. One word popped up in his mind at the moment; scary. Phylian and Phyllis were twins. But they were very different in so many ways. Aster was not in Phyllis' class. She was in an advanced academic class while he was in an art-centric class. It was impossible that he would encounter a girl from the competitive class and become friends with her out of nowhere. Phyllis was a bright girl who was friends with everyone. She was the type of girl who would stand out because she was su
“What is…” she mumbled as she scanned her surroundings. She's realized that she is now inside a hospital ward, getting an infusion. She tried to get up from the bed but her body was so weak that she gave up. Then, memories about what happened before she blacked out surfaced. She remembered how Aster left her to talk to the boys who wanted to invite her out. And she also remembered how Aster's face was mostly covered in blood. Just recalling Aster's condition earlier gave Phyllis a goosebump. Her breathing suddenly became heavy and her hands instinctively tightened at the thought of the crimson red blood dripping down Aster's face. She tried to keep that image away from her mind by tightly shutting her eyes. Aside from the horrific sight of blood, she couldn't help but think of Aster's situation and blame herself for what happened to him. No matter how much she tried to keep the scene from her head, it just kept on coming back like a loop. Her arms felt like jelly and
Zacharias hid behind the wall near Phyllis and Aster, frozen as he listen to their conversation. “So… Do you like me?” he heard Phyllis ask. It was a question that made his heart jump—still hanging in the air in suspense. “Yes, I do. I like you ever since we were in high school.” “All I wanted is to own all of you…” Every word Aster spoke of was like a nail hammered into Zacharias' heart. If he has an extra one percent of courage, he'd go and push Aster away from Phyllis. But… But he wanted to know how Phyllis feels about this old friend of hers. He wanted to hear her response… “Aster…” THUMP THUMP “...can you back off a little? You're making me feel uncomfortable, so don't whisper in my ear.” “It's weird,” she continued. With a sassy tone, she readily expressed her dislike for Aster. She did not hold back and told him what was making her uncomfortable. Even though Phyllis kept a friendly distance between her and Aster, he couldn't seem to get a hint. And now,
“It looks like this was from a strong grip. Did that auntie hold you tightly?” Rui asked as she examined the purplish bruise on her son's arm. The kid weakly nodded. Rui pursed her lips and patted the ice pack wrapped in a towel on Eon's arm. She forced a smile on her son and said, “It's fine, it will heal.” Rui and Chase arrived at the hotel welcomed by Phyllis and Zacharias' guilty faces. They were ashamed to let the couple see the way Eon ended up after they were entrusted to take care of the child. Babysitting Eon means that they need to make sure that the kid never experiences something like this. Of course, a bruise would heal. But the kid was visibly upset. Eon sat on Chase's lap, leaning on his chest while he stroked his son's hair. “If my son got this by playing with another kid, I would definitely understand. But since he said it was from an auntie, it's a different story.” Zacharias understood what Chase meant. He needs to find the person responsible for what happene
“You mean—” Phyllis' pressed her index finger on his lips and smiled. “Yes, I'm ready now.” Zacharias' face flushed, crestfallen with Phylis' straightforward approach. She did not beat around the bush and directly told him how she felt. Now, he admired her more. He realized that she has this decisive attitude that made him feel secure. It made him feel that this marriage is finally progressing. For more than a month, he stayed away from Phyllis to give her time to think. But during those times apart, he never missed a day of telling her about his daily activities. He wanted Phyllis to miss him. He wanted her to always think of him. And to do that, a simple text message and a brief call never hurt. He diligently texted his way to her heart and allowed her to sort her feelings. He was confident that he'd eventually get her heart. He is her husband anyway. He has a lot of time. Plus, she is legally bound to him. Nothing can separate them. So, he took his time. He then res
After freshening up, Phyllis went out of the balcony to look at the view. The breeze from the sea and roaring waves from the sea replaced the turbulent emotions messing inside her mind. This trip made her realize her feelings. Of course, she was attracted to Zacharias. Not only because of her being his fan but because of his personality that she observed during the course of their marriage. She was aware that one won't get to know someone well over the phone. But for a short period of time when they slept beside each other, she somehow felt right. Being with him just felt right… And him being away for more than a month made her miss him more. With each day that passed, she only thought of him. Thoughts about how he was eating or what he was doing filled her mind. Being a fan just involved gushing over his looks and talents. Her love for good music was what drew her to his group. She loved their music, their group, and their fandom. But of course, it was a different kind o
R-18 content ahead! Zacharias bit Phyllis' neck in excitement upon getting her signal. His lips lingered on the lower part of her left ear, licking the area he just bit. Soon, it went down, tracing her slim neck with his sweet small kisses. “Ahh!” she moaned with her back arched, feeling all the tingly sensation all over her body. Phylis felt so hot. As if she was burning with hunger. Each passing second was an agony for her. Her sensitive body reacted to each of his strokes. Every touch has this rugged gentleness to it. And she can feel his thirst for her–madly so. As she let him do his own bidding, she inched herself closer, wanting to feel more of his heat. Her hands slowly crawled their way to his back before grasping it tightly. If not for his silk nightshirt, then her sharp nails would've scratched his back. His kisses went back to her lips while his hands slipped inside her shirt. He caressed her waist softly with his rough fingers. It went sideways to her navel up
