Chapter: EpilogueI woke with a smile. I remembered what happened last night and I could not help but feel excited about the day to come. But when I looked beside me, a sudden gush of panic ran through my system when I saw Darren is not here. I narrowed my eyes and sat up in a hurry. What could have happened? I listened for the sound of the shower but there was none. She’s definitely not in the bathroom. I walked out of my room and saw no one in the living room…or in the kitchen. “Darren?” I called out but only got silence.

Chapter: Chapter 20A/N: This is the final chapter. The Epilogue will be posted next week. Saturday. Thank you!~*~“Oh, my gosh! Darren!” Even from afar, I can already hear Bash’s voice. She’s standing in front of the café with Henney who’s looking at me like she couldn’t believe I am here again. I smiled at them and waved my hand as I

Chapter: Chapter 19“I can’t believe you didn’t tell me about him!” Karleene hollered when she entered my office. She stormed inside my room as I was busy editing some of the shots for a magazine shoot.It’s almost half a month since I started dating Julian again and I don’t have any regrets. He always took me on dates and even brings me flowers every now and then. He’s been attending different gatherings and always had me as his date, too. And it felt so good. It made me happy because I have neve

Chapter: Chapter 18I don’t know if Julian was already feeling better but he was in my studio today. He came with flowers and chocolates. Ada was giving me meaningful looks as she pointed at Julian’s way with her mouth. Carlo was just shaking his head in the corner while wiping the cameras and other equipment. I just rolled my eyes at the two before walking to Julian who was looking at me with a wide smile plastered on his face. “What are you doing here?” I asked.

Chapter: Chapter 17“He can be discharged early morning tomorrow,” the doctor ensured us when he came for his rounds today. Julian has been admitted for two days now and I’m happy that he’s getting discharged tomorrow morning. I don’t even know why I stayed with him all throughout his hospitalization. I went home and thought of not coming back but the thought of him all alone haunted me. Julian smiled widely at the doctor before the latter left the room with the nurse. I turned to Julian and smiled weakly. &

Chapter: Chapter 16My eyes widened as I ran to him. “Julian!” I tried to wake him up but he wouldn’t. I looked around for help until the staff of the magazine saw us. They all came in to help us mobilize Julian. Someone called the medic from the hotel who responded quickly and immediately brought a stretcher. “What happened?” Alicia asked me. I wa

Chapter: Josiah (FINAL)Blinding lights. White ceiling.White walls.It’s hard to open my eyes but I can feel an oxygen mask on my face. I must be in the hospital.The last thing I can remember is getting shot by Night Train, who happened to be Kyle Kim as well. Eunice came running to me while crying. I held her face and apologized because I couldn’t do anything to protect her but she cried even more. “Son…” I heard Mom’s voice as I shut my eyes forcefully. She must have noticed the change in my facial expression. I took a deep breath and tried my hardest to open my eyes. I couldn’t feel my whole body. It’s as if I was paralyzed. Mom’s worried but relieved eyes welcomed mine as I opened my eyes. She’s crying as she looked and called my Dad. Mom’s holding my hand and squeezing it. “Thank goodness, you’re awake!” she let out as she kissed my forehead. I looked at my father who was also looking so relieved as he stared at me. “Josiah! We thoug

Chapter: EuniceFuck? Two members of SeQret are down but Nanette is injured. Zinger, apparently and expectedly, used a knife to stab Nanette’s right leg. She’s wincing in pain as Mona assisted her to come near us. Her right inner leg is bleeding profusely. Mona ripped Nanette’s pants where the wound is and applied pressure to control the bleeding. “I hate that bitch!” Nanette seethed with anger. I know. I hate her too. I looked at Zinger who was already smiling in triumph while she looked at us. Now, I won’t hold back anymore. Since they used a knife, I might as well give them a good fight. “Are you next, Gemini?” Zinger said menacingly as she expertly maneuvered the knife on her hand. I glared at her. “Satan really doesn’t play fair, huh?” I said as I picked up a long and thick PVC pipe on the ground. Zinger looked at me with widened eyes. She isn’t used to me using any weapon during fights. None of us in Astra uses one. We fight with our str

Chapter: JosiahThis is not what I had expected when I asked her to watch this horror movie.Usually, most girls would definitely be afraid and clingy but Eunice was different—entirely different. While every single woman inside the cinema was busy screaming in fear, Eunice just sat beside me, ate popcorn and…watched. She didn’t even seem so scared. I tried to hold her hand—and that’s the farthest I could go, I didn’t even hold her hand!—and she let me. I tried to feed her with popcorn but she just glared at me. Oh, heavens! What will I do with her to make her a normal girl? Sure she has some moments where she blushes but those were moments when we are alone in our room…naked inside our blankets. Damn.Eunice looked at me intently as we settled ourselves in an Italian restaurant. She’s already complained of how much calories she’s already had for today but she wanted to eat some pizza.“Are you okay?” she asked.Oh, she must have noticed how deeply I am thinking

Chapter: EuniceIt’s going to start soon. Mitch had already received the letter of the fight information. We’ve been practicing hard on our own. I don’t know what Glyph is up to but I think they are trying to strengthen up, too. 15TH OF OCTOBER. SAME PLACE. SAME TIME. –SEQRETThat’s five days from now. Mitch and the rest of the girls are already well prepared. I, too, prepared for that. Five days is a long time to wait but it’s an advantage because we can strengthen more. Except when I think I am feeling so lethargic. “Are you alright?” Mitch asked me. I looked at her. She might have noticed that I am not feeling very well. I smiled to reassure her. “I’m good.”She narrowed her eyes at me, seemingly not buying what I am saying but she just nodded. “You can rest,” she chimed. I smiled and shook my head. I don’t want to rest. If I rest, I will just feel more sleepy. I don’t want to feel like that when I am on training. I want to be as pumpe

Chapter: Josiah“Hmmm…” I chuckled weakly as Eunice murmured on my chest. We’re in our room, lying on our bed, cuddling. And I couldn’t even think of anything better than this. Her arms are wrapped around my waist while her face rested on my bare chest. I hugged her tighter and kissed the top of her head.“Baby, we didn’t use protection again,” I whispered. She slowly looked at me, slightly blushing. “I know,” she replied. I pursed my lips in a thin line. I know that she isn’t ready to have a baby yet and I respect that. I can wait until she’s ready but we’ve just had multiple sexual intimacies without protection. I don’t want her to think that I am trying to get her pregnant. Heck, the last thing that I want her to think is that I am trying to start a family with her even though she’s not yet ready. I sighed and kissed her forehead. “I’m sorry. I couldn’t stop myself.” And it’s true. When it comes to Eunice, I feel like I am losing all of my self-con

Chapter: Eunice“Hey, Eunice. Are you and Josiah together?” one of my classmates from Philosophy asked me.Actually, I was taken aback at her question. This classmate of mine—none of them, as a matter of fact—has never spoken to me ever since the beginning of the semester. But now that a lot of rumors are circulating about me and Josiah, she somehow felt comfortable to ask me. I hate these kinds of people. I gave her a blank stare. “Why do you need to know?” I asked.She bit her lip and tucked a loose strand of her perfectly curled long hair behind her ear. “Everyone is talking about you and Josiah being so close together,” she replied.I raised my brow. “What is it to you, then?”I know when girls ask this. She’s probably one of the hoard girls wanting to be Josiah’s girlfriend. Josiah may not tell me about it but I know that he has tons of girls craving for his attention.The girl looked at me and smiled shyly as she flipped her hair dramatically. I could roll
