Chapter 16: Opportunity Knocks Only Once
She opened her eyes in a sterilized bed, the smell of bleach was reeking around the area, it didn't seem odd as the bed was facing a white tiled bathroom recently cleaned just a few minutes ago.
For a moment she was perplexed, but after quickly realizing the event that evening, she sighed.
"Looks like I lost to that uncle," she said.
Her body was still sort of heavy from the cold, but it is evident that her condition was a lot better now. "I need to get out of here." She stood up from the bed and located her belongings now dried and neatly placed on the corner of the room.

"Ugh, Why are there so many customers today?" I said as there are many people entering and exiting the convenience store. Honestly it is a good sign that many customers are coming, so the owner might decide to increase my pay. Well, that is kinda impossible in reality but there is no harm in hoping. "Here is your change," I said to the teenage guy who just bought a can of soda. "C'mere girl!" Someone shouted, I noticed that a university student was hitting on the girl outside the store. It is obvious that he was drunk. Of course people didn't mind them, they just went about their own business. As for me, as much as I wanted to come to the rescue, I'm afraid that I'm too wimpy for this situation. I took my phone and snapped a picture, it might be used as an evidence for sexual harassment, I'm also secretly recording a video in
When She Was Is Chapter 18: Behind The Scenes
The young night sky glimmered with flashing lights, and the sound of a sultry band was playing in the background. For a moment the cold ice slowly sublimed on the wooden table as Matty was sitting nervously on the corner of a certain cafe near the Capital. She was calm at the most part but there is this slight fear in her eyes. Today is a rather important day because this is the day that the world will know who Mariano Fernandez was. To her, he is her grandfather, to some he is a father, and to many he is the current President of the Republic Philippines. There is a very heavy personality there in the whole nation. But all of that will end today. &n

"Irene! Look here…." Athena shouted as she ran across the hall. "Ohhh…. That's perfect!" Irene said. She grabbed the announcement poster glistening from the refraction of sunlight. Holding it on two ends they both placed it on the bulletin board for everyone to see. "It's definitely a wonderful day….." Irene said as she stared at the paper announcing an extensive feeding-program, her hand was on her waist and a grin was painted on her lips. It has been two weeks since she started working here, and today, she is no longer a staff member only allowed to do random chores. Just two days ago, she had been en
When She Was Is Chapter 20: Meeting The Parents
It was never my intention to get caught up with Jaiden's pesky advances. He is becoming overly friendly by the minute. He now frequently visits me in the convenience store, slowly I'm starting to find myself always with him. Of course, it is not like I disliked the development and everything, it is just that the more we spend our time together the more I lose the chance to confess to him… about the reality of Caroline's identity. To be honest, I can somehow feel that he is just forcing himself on me so he couldn't think about her… like I'm just like some kind of past time or something… I was standing at the entrance of C Mall where he told me to meet him. We have been spending two weeks together as friends and I'm starting to learn more

All she could think of is the fear, delight, and confusion from all the things that had happened today. She hasn't yet recovered from finally having the courage to accept her current life in Barangay Iniwan, and now the past is knocking at her door just before she could establish her future. "Oh, Irene, where are you going?" Athena asked, seeing Irene dashing straight outside the hall. Meanwhile, Alfred and Elmer who were outside the building were perplexed as she hadn't responded to their greeting, she just went past them as if they weren't there, "Did something wrong happen?" they both asked themselves. Irene ran and immediately jumped on a trike on the way to the Capital, "Manong, hit it!" Instructing the driver to speed up which it

The cold air spreads across the whole room, while the deranged gentlemen in black tux are now fiercely discussing the precedent matter regarding the libelous articles circling around the internet regarding the family. On the other hand, the mistresses of the house are casually sipping hot tea under the grandeur of the chandelier on the sofa situated in the same room. All the commotion was happening as the chilling sound of "Pathétique Symphony" playing on the radio was intently obstructed with the breaking news. While listening, a man in his 70's stroked his mildly shaved beard with his right hand, as his left held a glass of Savignon Blanc fizzing luxuriously as

Today has never been warmer for Jaiden, as this day is particularly special. They had been planning to go to this riverside resort since last week, and everything seems to be special since Melissa is coming with them. Her eyes shone like a glossy pearl just washing on a shore of black pebbles with the warm rays of the sun shining down on it.
