Chapter 29
SHE rang the doorbell to Natalie’s place and hugged herself when the cold breeze touched her skin. After a few moments, the gate finally opened. Natalie, adjusting her robe, emerged.
“Kate? Oh, what are you doing here at this hour?” her friend asked, puzzled.
“Could you please let me in first?” she responded with a trembling voice. The cold night and her emotions that were about to explode were to blame.
“Oh, right. I’m sorry.” Natalie opened the gate wider.
“Thank you,” she said as soon as she got in.
Her friend grasped her arm and ushered her inside the house.
“Have a seat. I’ll just go to the kitchen and get you something hot to drink—”
“Do you have whiskey?” Her gaze reverted to the minibar near the living room.
“Oh.” Natalie arched a brow. “Okay.” She headed to the minibar afterwards.
Kate plopped

“WE should leave,” Kate told Jan when he did not move an inch after she hugged him. “I’m afraid someone might catch us trespassing here. This is private property.” She slowly freed him from her embrace and caught his hands. “Let’s go home now, Katherine.” Jan smiled and planted a soft kiss on her forehead before he ushered her out of the house. “Oh, shoot,” Kate said when they finally got outside. “What is it?” He halted and turned to her. “I brought Natalie’s car.” She gestured to her friend’s car that she parked across the street. “Don’t worry.” Jan knocked on his car’s windshield. His secretary got off from the driver’s seat. “Sir, Madam,” Evan greeted with a smile. “I’ll be driving her friend’s car. Follow us.” “Alright, Sir.” Jan held out his hand. “Key, please.” Kate fished the key from the pocket of his jeans and handed it to him. He then held her by the hand and tugged her across

Years ago… JAN heaved a deep sigh as he walked down the staircase. He strode all the way out of the house and ended at the garden where his father, Alejandro Villamar Sr., was hosting a party. It was not his birthday or anyone in the family. It was just that his father likes to throw a party whenever he wants. Of course, he has the money to do that. “Oh, there you are, Jan.” His mother beckoned him to come. “Oh, so this is your firstborn?” one of his mother’s friends asked when he reached them. “Yes. My youngest is just roaming around,” his mother replied with a broad smile. He smiled at them just like what his mom had taught him. “Good evening, aunties,” he said politely. “Oh… he is such a fine young man,” said another woman from his mom’s circle. “I wish I also have a son like him.” Jan’s mother pinched his cheek. “Mom

KATE was at school when she received a call from Jan’s mother. She has no classes, though. However, she was at the library with her classmates, doing a group activity.“Excuse me. I need to answer this.” She left her seat and went out of the library. “Mom,” Kate said the moment she answered the call.“Hi, Katherine. I called to ask if you’re free this afternoon. Maybe we can have lunch together and go shopping. Well… if you’re busy, it’s fine with me.”“Oh. Uhm…” She glanced at her wristwatch. “I’ll be free around two pm. Is that okay with you?”“Oh. Great! I’ll go pick you up at your place—”“Oh, Mom… I’m at school right now. I’ll just—”“I’ll pick you up at school then. Okay?”“Hm.”“See you later, Katherine. `Bye.” Jan&rs

KATE woke up with a long-stemmed red rose above Jan’s pillow. She sat up and picked up the card beneath the stem. It was the first thing that caught her attention when she opened her eyes since she was facing his side of the bed.Good morning. I’m sorry I had to leave so early. See you tonight.Love, Jan.She picked up the rose and brought it to her chest. Jan’s simple gestures always made her feel extra special now that he slowly opened his heart to her. She might not be his first love, his one great love, or someone he dreamed of spending his life forever, but he would always be the one she loves. Kate hoped he would learn to love her the way he had loved Isabela one day.Her gaze reverted to the door when she heard consecutive knocks.“Kate, dear… are you awake?” asked Nana Talia.“Oh. Yes, Nana.” She eased herself from the bed and saun

“WHO let my wife ride that fucking horse?”She woke up in a jolt upon hearing Jan’s voice roaring inside the room. After the accident, Kate was immediately rushed to the hospital. Fortunately, she did not get any major injury, but she strained her lower back, making it hard for her to move around. Now she was back at home, resting on their bed.“Miss Winona came this morning, and they went to the stables. I wasn’t there. I didn’t know who let her ride the horse. We just rushed there when Miss Winona informed us that my poor Kate fell from the horse,” her nanny explained calmly.Kate closed her eyes again when she saw Jan turning in her direction. She then heard him heave a sigh.“I’ll leave her to you now,” said Nana Talia.She then heard the hinges creaked when the door opened and closed.Kate felt the cushion move when Jan sat beside her. But she kept her eyes close and stayed sti

THE loud music, dancing strobe lights, and mixed scents greeted him when he got inside the club. Fernan heaved a deep sigh and sauntered towards the bar counter when he saw Winona waving at him. She was already holding a glass of margarita in one hand.He sat on the stool beside hers.“One whiskey on ice, please,” Fernan told the bartender.“You’re late,” Winona said with pouted lips.“I had to finish some work at the office before leaving.” The bartender shoved the glass of whiskey in his direction. “Thanks.”“Did you tell Jan to join us?” Winona propped a hand on her chin.“Yes.” He took a gulp of his whiskey. “Of course, he said no.”“Married life changed him. He’s no longer the Jan we all know.” Winona sipped her margarita. “Tell me I’m right, Fernan.” She nudged him to the side.He smirked. “Y

KATE knew it was already morning. She heard the alarm ring a few minutes ago, but it was still dark inside the bedroom. She sat up slowly and saw that the curtains were still closed. Perhaps, Jan did not open them when he got up so she could get more sleep.She jumped out of bed and went inside the bathroom. Jan was already showering, getting ready to go to work.“Jan,” Kate muttered as she sat down on the toilet seat. “Why are you leaving so early today?”He turned off the shower and slid the door open. “What did you say? I didn’t hear you.”“I said… Why are you leaving so early in the morning?” She yawned. She had slept seven hours, yet it felt like it was not enough.“I usually go to work this early. You just didn’t notice it because you’re still fast asleep most of the time whenever I leave for work.” He went back to showering, but he kept the door open. Perhap

KATE stared at the blank sticky note in her hand. She knew what it meant to make a wish. She knew what hoping meant. Two different things, yet almost the same.“You don’t believe in it, do you?”She looked at the woman again. Now she was looking at her with a grin and folded arms. The woman rose from her seat and stood beside her.“Do you want to hear a story?”Kate shrugged. “I don’t mind.”“There was this girl who wrote a wish in a sticky note and pasted it on the infamous Kismet Wall.” The woman looked at her. “And she ended up getting more than what she wished for. And she is happy now. And you know what’s funny about it? She just wanna mess up with someone when she posted that wish.”“Just tell her that it’s you to make her believe,” said the man who strode towards the woman. He planted a kiss on the woman’s temple and wrapped an arm ar
