Shadows 61: Moulin Paradise
Diane’s P.O.V.
“Kasal? Pero may nabanggit siyang kasal eh! Anong kasal ang sinasabi ng bruhang ‘to?” Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Sharmaine, pero mabuti na lang talaga at hinila na siya ni Barbie palayo. Mukhang naubusan na rin ng pasensiya si Barbie rito.
“Manahimik ka na nga, sabi eh!” bulyaw ni Barbie kay Sharmaine bago siya lumingon sa mga lalaking kasama nila kanina sa kotse. “Matt, Peter, kayo na ang bahala sa mga gamit natin ha? Lulunurin ko na muna ang isang ‘to nang mahimasmasan.”
“Let me go, Barbie!” Si Sharmaine naman ay nagpupumiglas sa kaibigang mukhang sobrang higpit nang pagkakahawak sa kanang braso niya.
“Sure, take your time!” tatawa-tawa namang tugon ni Peter kay Barbie na base sa mga ngiti ay tuwang-tuwa lang naman na nakikita niya si Karen. “Hi! Pasensiya ka na kay Sharmaine ha? Naiingg

Shadows of My Dark Past (Book 2) Shadows 62: Unexpected Guest
Diane’s P.O.V.Halos magbuhol ang dalawang kilay ng kaibigan ko at halos lumuwa na rin ang mga mata niya sa tindi ng gulat. Muntik na ring magkulay-suka ang mukha niya at bigla rin siyang napaatras.Kahit ako ay napanganga rin sa pagkabigla nang mapagtanto ko kung sino ‘yong lalaki na chef friend daw ni Liam. Hindi ako pwedeng magkamali dahil siya ‘yong balbas-saradong tisoy na chef na may berdeng mga mata. Siya ‘yong may-ari ng restaurant kung saan ako unang nagsuka.Mabuti na lang talaga at nailagay na namin ang mga pagkain sa countertop. I couldn’t imagine if Karen would accidentally slip them all out of her hands nang dahil sa reaksiyon niya. Sayang naman ‘yong mga pagkain kung matatapon lang.“Hey! And we’ve met each other again, Miss Highlights. Must be destiny, don’t you think?” He chirped.Then,
Shadows of My Dark Past (Book 2) Shadows 63: Caught Off-Guard
Diane’s P.O.V.“Alright, team. I hope that every one of you enjoyed the delicious breakfast that was cooked by our special guest here, Chef Samuel. Thank you, Chef!” Xielo excitedly said, which earned everyone’s clapping of their hands, except from Karen—who acted uninterested and in fact—just rolling her eyes.We were already gathering here at the breathtaking seashore in front of Liam’s resort. We were still sitting across a long table because we were so full by the breakfast prepared by Samuel.The Cheesy Breakfast Egg plus Polenta Casserole, Hearty Spring Salad with French Radishes, Ricotta Sausage with Spinach Strata, and Chocolate Pancake Puffs he made were all mouth-watering and deserving to receive a praise. I must say that he was indisputably a great chef.Samuel stood up, placed his hand on his chest, and slightly bowed at
Shadows of My Dark Past (Book 2) Shadows 64: Newspaper Game
Diane’s P.O.V.I looked at Karen and she had no other choice but to get paired with Samuel too. I even heard her asking him, “Gusto mong kayo na lang ni Diane ang mag-partner? I could withstand Leandro, but not you.”“It’s you who I wanted to get paired with, babe. Liam is my best friend and I will never break our bro code. So, to answer your question… ayoko nang sumali pa sa love triangle nila, ano?” Samuel replied before brushing his brown hair up.“Whatever, dude! I guess I have to waste my time here with you.” Karen flickered her eyes out of boredom. Hindi ko alam kung bakit inis na inis siya kay Sam.“Pero maiba ako. Is someone already dating you? Perhaps, ‘yong kasama niyong lalaki noong kumain kayo sa restaurant ko months ago? Do you like him? Sa inyong dalawa na lang ako makiki-love triangle. Is that okay with
Shadows of My Dark Past (Book 2) Shadows 65: Fate Underneath
Diane’s P.O.V.As if it was the cue, Leandro instantly scooped me in his arms. He was carrying me in a bridal way habang nakataas ang kaliwa niyang paa. I had no other choice but to snake my arms on his neck for him to have an easier balance.“I remembered when I saved you from that Zander, ganito ka rin kagaan noon.” Leandro smiled, but I looked away. He was reminding me of what had happened before, but my eyes went directly to Liam and Sharmaine.At ganoon na lang ang inis ko nang makita kong karga na rin ni Liam si Sharmaine. Tuwang-tuwa pa ang bruha, but who wouldn’t relish the feeling when she was being carried by the great billionaire—Liam Arthur Evangelista?For the second time, I diverted my gaze away. I decided to look at Karen and Samuel—na hindi na yata matatapos pa ang pagbabangayan over the newspaper game.“S
Shadows of My Dark Past (Book 2) Shadows 66: Post-It Exchange
Diane’s P.O.V.“Don’t you want to exchange your post-it note with Karen, Diane?” Leandro asked me, which earned a wrinkle on my forehead.Why would I even change my post-it note when fate already brought me back to the one I desired to be with? Napakaliit ng chance na kaming dalawa ang mag-partner ni Liam sa game na ito, pero nangyari pa rin.Luminga ako sa paligid. Almost everyone already got their partners in the second game. I was about to open my mouth to respond to Leandro’s query when Karen intervened, saving me.“Why, Leandro? Don’t you want me to be your partner?” Karen then linked her right arm to Leandro’s, not letting him off the hook. “Ouch, I’m hurt!”Napabuga naman ng hangin si Leandro. Being with Karen, he was kind of hopeless.“Hind
Shadows of My Dark Past (Book 2) Shadows 67: The Blue Ribbon
Diane’s P.O.V.Hindi ko na masyado pang binigyan ng pansin ‘yong sinabi ni Liam nang makita ko ang isang blue ribbon na malayang nakasabit sa isang sanga ng puno. Bumitiw ako mula sa pagkakahawak ng mga kamay namin sa isa’t isa, mabilis na tumakbo sa puno, at pilit na inabot ‘yong ribbon. Tumalon-talon na nga ako, pero hindi ko pa rin iyon maabot.“Wait, stay still… I’ll reach that for you,” Liam proposed.Mabilis na nakalapit sa kinaroroonan ko si Liam at tumingkayad siya para abutin ‘yong ribbon. Tumalon-talon na rin siya at kahit pa tingin ko ay over six feet ang height niya, hindi pa rin niya ‘yon maabot.“How on earth did they tie it up here?” Liam was rubbing his clean-shaven jaws with his fingers. “Ah, of course, they might have used a stepladder. Hmm… I guessed I have to carry you to get tha
Shadows of My Dark Past (Book 2) Shadows 68: His Favorite Place
Diane’s P.O.V.It took us a few minutes before we reached the supposed-to-be end of the forest and all the time, Liam effortlessly carried me. When we were in front of a wall full of vines, Liam slowly brought me down to my feet and I stood straight beside him.The combined green and red vines in front of me became a perfect backdrop which complemented the entire nature. As the vines covered the large brick and stone wall, they left some small gaps where you could still see the wall, creating great pattern and texture.“Hmm… mukhang dead-end na yata ito, Liam? Naliligaw na ba tayo?” tanong ko sa kanya. Pero malabo namang maligaw kaming dalawa rito dahil pagmamay-ari pa rin ni Liam ang ilang hektaryang lupain at man-made forest na ito.Pinakiramdaman ko na lang tuloy ang buong paligid. I must admit that I was always lost by how Liam used to stare at m
Shadows of My Dark Past (Book 2) Shadows 69: The Secret Lagoon
Diane’s P.O.V. A few moments went by and I found myself straddling into his body, gasping beneath his athletic frame. I could feel in between my thighs that Liam was already hard down there and I couldn’t be more excited at the thought. After what happened to us in his pad, alam kong hahanap-hanapin ko ito. It was as if I could feel that my body did not forget the intensity of being underneath him, flesh-to-flesh, and skin-to-skin. No other man could ever make me feel like this. My maxi dress was already pulled down to my navel after Liam threw my bikini top, revealing my bare mountains. I could see too much admiration on the way he looked at me and it was making me feel submissive to him. Liam kneaded into my breast, with my hard nipples being trapped and played by his fingers. Wala na akong nagawa kung hindi ang magpatianod sa nararamdaman ko para sa taong mahal ko. He was
