36: Fake Indifference
That night Livius texted me. I immediately read that when it popped up on my cellphone screen.
Livius:
Sorry for late reply. Let go of Sage, Kaia. He is my eyes on you. I'll visit you soon. I miss you and Mom.
I smiled at the last part of his text. But realizing the content of the first part, my smile faded. Let? Now that Sage knows something personal about me, I can count on him even more!
I turned off the cellphone and hugged the pillow. I did not reply. I still wanted to convince Livius, just in case he wondered if I would insist. I don't want him to get the wrong idea. Why is it that all his friends are still Sage? It could be Jonas or Carson!
"Good afternoon, Miss Beautiful!" Lucio introduced me as I entered the coffee shop. I caught him mopping near the counter. It's Thursday so I'm in at two o'clock. I can't smile properly. I'm just thinking that Sage will pick me up again later because I'm losing my appetite.
"Good afternoon too, Luc

“Mom, Rose invited me to attend her Mom and Dad’s anniversary,” I said as we had breakfast Saturday morning."If you want to go, I won't stop you. But are you going to wear anything there?""I will choose the ones that Livius bought for me ..."Mom knows Rose. So he did not hesitate to accompany me. After we had breakfast Brenda arrived. I told him about that party. So he offered to help me choose what to wear. I told her that there's no need to do that. But he insisted so I just let him."What's that! The clothes are too conservative! What does Livius think of you? Man?"All the dresses Livius and I had bought before lay on the bed. It's been months but those remained untouched. No sleeveless there. Everything is also up to knee length. For me, those are all elegant. But when it comes to Brenda's taste, she won't like it. He wants you to be a bit showy."Those are okay, Brenda. I don't need sexy dresses.""The prett

At six o'clock Rose's car arrived to pick me up. I told him that there was no need for a case, he was really insistent. Mang Kanor is the driver. I already knew him because when Rose and I went home together, they would pass me by. She smiled when I opened the door."Thank you.""Are there many guests at the party?" I asked while Mang Kanor was driving."I'm sure there are many, hija. And I think only the rich will attend.""I hope I don't stay there. I'm not rich," I smiled slightly."But you're Rose's friend so you should just go there. And then you're something there. Alas, I immediately remembered my son. It was a dream to attend the parties of the rich.""How old is your son?""Maybe he's just your age. How old are you?" he said while glancing in the rear view mirror."Nineteen ...""You're only a year apart. It's already twenty."Because of my conversation with Mang Kanor, I didn't realize that we had arrive

Overall, he looks dashing but somehow, playful."He studies in Manila and is rarely here in Lucena so you don't know him," Rose whispered to me."Nice to meet you, Kaia," Harris said.I kept raising an eyebrow. That look. He was so arrogant that it seemed as if he could tame all women."Harris," Kenneth whispered. He followed us. He was still holding a wine glass. He looked at me, one eyebrow raised. My forehead furrowed."Ken, long time no see!" Harris smirked.We barely moved away from the two men."That cousin of yours is a playboy, Rose," I whispered.

The Demoness Alpha 41: Have a Goodnight
"What are you saying?""I thought you like Livius? Now you have a boyfriend, huh? Where is he?" once look at the hall."What are you saying, Sage? Where did you know that?" I don't get him. I don't even accept lovers after having a boyfriend? Am I a joke to him?"Someone called using your phone and introduced himself as your boy," he said darkly. My eyes rolled.Meaning...He was the one who texted earlier!"You're the one I sent here. I want to meet that boy of yours. What type of guy is he? Is he like Livius? Those are your types, aren't they?"His tone. The irritation was obvious there. It was like he's just suppressing it."If that's the case, what's the matter with you? You're out of my personal affairs, Sage. So I'm not obligated to answer your questions. And why did you say I was the one you came here? Don't even say that was ordered by Livius?

"Eat well, Kaia," Mama said and laid the plate down in front of me. My gaze passed over Livius and Jonas. They're here for a visit."Did Brenda come here earlier?""Ah, yes. It's her morning, eh. Do you have a conversation?""She's going to help with Ericka's costume," I pointed out to her younger sister who will be participating in a pageant."I'll just take him to them later.""Your carbonara is really delicious, Mom!" and Livius. Mom smiled."Yes, it's delicious!" agrees Jonah."Oh hey, you eat a lot."The two nodded almost simultaneously. I smiled and continue eating. They were the only two to visit this month. I tried to talk to Livius about Sage. But he just didn’t listen and said it would be better for me to have someone deliver at home. For safety it seems. I insisted I could. But he just said they already had an agreement.It's been two days since the party. On Monday, Sage just sent a driver because

"The fuck with that!" Brenda yelled when the group left. I breathed a sigh of relief as they left but when I remembered what Damian had said I was devastated. He said he would visit me!"When he visits you, don't talk to him! That man didn't do any good! The arrogance you thought was all in him! Eh, do you know that Cindy, his ex-girlfriend, moved school because he beat her up! Cindy's parents just couldn't get along because her family was influential! Oh, avoid that Kaia if you don't want a complicated life. It's dangerous!

"We're going to eat at the grill after the shift. Are you sure you're not really coming?" Rian asked as I immediately asked. I don't have plans about it. Also, Mom ordered me to go through the supermarket before going home. I still have things to buy so I won't be coming."Because Mama ordered me. It's just you, Rian." He smirked at my refusal. I just chuckled and left her to accommodate another customer.Rose visited me that day. She told a story about the new man she met. He was hopeful there again and he seemed to have forgotten recently when he cried because of Baldo's deception. I warned her about this guy she just met. But he said that he was kind and that I had nothing to worry about. Even so, I can't help but get worried. That's what he always says. Then in the end, nothing either."Don't worry. On our next date, we'll visit here so you can meet him. I'm sure you'll like him, Kaia! And oh, he mentioned that he has a male cousin. I'll include that too for
