"I'm done with this nonsense. I can no longer stay in this kind of setup. I'm exhausted, Kai; it's always the same. You only come back to me when you and she fight. What am I to you? Oh yeah, I forgot, I'm only second to that cursed heart of yours. Why can't you just choose me? What does she have that I don't? I'm attractive, sexy, wealthy, kind, and intelligent, but with you, I feel so insignificant. I'm getting tired of this; I'm about to give up." "These are words I've been holding onto for a long time." "No, Jea, you can't be tired. Remember, you promised me that you wouldn't leave me no matter what happens. You promised, so you need to keep that promise!" Kai said, as if it were that easy. "Kai, please don't make this hard for me. I'm tired of being second. If you can't love me back the way I love you, let's just end this. I don't want to hurt anyone else; I'm feeling guilty, Kai. I used to be obedient and kind, but because of my love for you, I defied my parents even though I knew they would be angry because you're already married, and worse, you're married to my cousin. Please, let's just stop this." I tried to make him understand our situation, even though it was difficult. "Jea, I don't want to. I love you. I don't know what I'd do if you left me; I'd go crazy. Please don't do this to me," Kai begged as he held my hand and stared deeply into my eyes, tears streaming down his face. "You love me, but you love her more, right?" I said, which silenced him. "Kai, you can't love two people at the same time. It's okay now, but there will come a point when you'll need to choose one to avoid hurting the other. I'm trying not to break down even though the tears keep flowing." "But you love me, right?"

Chapter 1 the Date

Chapter 1

"You know how much I loved you, Kai," I said these words with all my heart, even though it was difficult to speak because my voice had become hoarse from crying so much.

"Is that so? But why are you leaving me? Why are you abandoning me if you really love me? Isn't love supposed to mean fighting for someone? Why are you giving up?" he asked me like a child.

"Sometimes letting go is the right thing to do, Kai, especially when it's causing pain. At our point, Kai, so many people are hurting, especially your wife. She will be hurt if she finds out that her cousin is having an affair with her husband. I love you, but I don't want anyone to be hurt because of my love for you. That's why I'm letting you go. Go back to your wife and fix your marriage. I promise I'll be okay. I promise that in the next life, it will be us together. For now, let's free each other and let fate decide if we are truly meant to be." I tried to say these words despite the difficulty, then I approached him and kissed him for the last time because I knew it would be the last time I could do so. Sometimes letting go isn't easy, but it's the right thing to do, especially if there's pain involved. It's hard now, but I know that eventually, you will accept everything and move on. It takes a lot of time to move on, but just keep moving forward; don't stay stuck in the past because your world won't stop there. Many more opportunities await you.

It has been 5 years since our last conversation. I can honestly say that I have moved on. It was difficult at first, but I gradually trained myself to live without him. It's hard when you've defended yourself so much to one person. It took 2 years to completely forget him, and those 2 years were really tough. I cried every night because I wanted him with me so badly; I had become too accustomed to having him around. It's true that it takes time to heal the pain. The last news I heard from my parents was that they had reconciled. Good for them. I am currently dating someone I met here in Japan. I came to Japan not only to move on but also to pursue my passion for modeling and acting. I met Isaiah here; he's also a model. I met him at a modeling company, and we became partners. Now we are ambassadors for Dior, modeling all their new releases. Isaiah has been courting me for almost 2 years now; we have known each other for about 2 and a half years.

I am preparing myself today because I have a date with Isaiah and I plan to accept him today. I think 2 years is enough time for him to prove himself. He truly deserves to be accepted because, aside from being handsome, kind, and wealthy, he puts in a lot of effort. He's not the type of man who is arrogant. His parents know me; he's half Filipino and half Japanese but grew up in the Philippines, so he's not very accustomed to speaking Japanese. Aunt Jhanis prefers him to live in the Philippines, even though his relatives here in Japan want him to stay. Around 6 p.m., I finished getting ready, and Isaiah will pick me up at 6:30. He is truly a gentleman; he never fails to make me feel special. While waiting for Isaiah, my mom called me on Skype.

"Hi, Mom, what's with the sudden call?" I asked as soon as I answered her call.

"We just missed you, honey. How are things in Japan? Oh, you look fabulous in your dress, honey. Are you going somewhere?" my mom asked, and I immediately blushed at her compliment.

"Mom, you just called yesterday. Thank you. Yes, we have a date, and guess what?" My mom had just called me yesterday; she is very clingy and sweet. I'm not surprised that Dad liked her, not just because she's beautiful but also because she's very kind.

"Hmm, what's that, honey? Are you going to say yes to Isaiah?" Mom asked.

"You got it right, Mom. Later, we have a date, and I'm going to accept him. I can see how dedicated he is to getting my yes," I replied, smiling from ear to ear.

"But how about him?" Mom asked.

"Who's him, Mom?" I asked, even though I had an idea of whom she was referring to.

"You know him, Jea. Who else but Kai?" My smile faded when his name was mentioned. I had moved on a long time ago, but I still don't like hearing his name.

"Mom, you're really joking. We both know that we've moved on. We're both content with everything we have right now. We're happy in our own lives," I said to Mom.

"I have to go, Mom. Isaiah is here. Take care, Mom. Please send my regards to Dad, Uncle, and my cousins. I love you, Mom." We said our goodbyes as I heard Isaiah's car. I went outside as soon as I heard his horn. He got out with a smile and approached me to guide me to his car.

"You look so beautiful tonight, Jea. I don't know what I would do if someone else took you away from me," Isaiah said as he stopped in front of me.

"Only tonight?" I asked jokingly while pouting my lips.

"Of course not, honey. You are beautiful every day, but you look different tonight. Just like the stars above, you are dazzling and sparkling. I can't take my eyes off you; you really captured my heart. And one more thing, don't pout your lips-I might not be able to stop myself from kissing you," he said. He never failed to make me blush with his compliments and remarks. I don't know why I'm so affected by this man.

"Kiss? I haven't even accepted you yet," I joked.

"When will you accept me so I can kiss you? You always tempt me to kiss you; your lips are seducing me, so don't blame me if I can't stop myself from kissing you," he said. My gosh, he is too good to be true.

" Hmm, can you wait for 25 years?" I asked, testing whether he could wait for me no matter how long it takes.

"That's a long time. But if it's you, I'm more than willing to wait just to hear your sweet yes. You don't know how long I've been waiting just to be with you," he said, but I didn't catch the last part because it was too soft.

"What?" I asked him.

"Nothing, I just said how beautiful my future wife is," he said, which made me blush.

"You're calling me your wife even though I haven't said yes yet," I joked, rolling my eyes, but he just laughed.

"Let's go. Our destination is ready," he said, guiding me to his car and gently holding my head as if afraid I might bump it. Isaiah is really sweet. As soon as I sat in the passenger seat, he went around to the driver's side. Once he got in, he started the engine and began driving. While he was driving, he held my hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed it. It's his usual mannerism ever since he started courting me. He's so sweet, always bringing me flowers and chocolates. I even joke with him that I might get a cavity from all the chocolates he gives. He's always there when we have tapings, makes me feel special, and never fails to make me feel that way.

After 50 minutes, we arrived safely at a famous restaurant here in Japan. The restaurant is called Tapas Molecular Bar and is located in Chuo City, Tokyo. Isaiah got out of his car, a Bugatti La Voiture Noire-this guy is really wealthy, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised given his family's fortune. Even before we entered, there was a golden spoon waiting for us. Isaiah walked around to open the door for me, helped me out of the car, and then closed the door. He handed the car keys to the guard so he could park the car.

"Let's go," he said, inviting me. I looped my arm through his, and he smiled. The guard opened the door for us, and we both smiled at him.

"This place is so nice, Isaiah. I haven't been here before," I said, looking around the restaurant. It was clearly beautiful, very clean, and the food looked so delicious that you could tell just by looking.

"Yeah, I saw it on Instagram, so I decided we should eat here since neither of us has been here before," he said as we both sat down at an empty table.

When she was forcibly dragged out of her Aunt Leonora's house by armed men, she could do nothing but scream and shout. No matter how much she struggled, she couldn't break free, especially when they covered her mouth and nose with a cloth that had a dizzying smell. Eventually, she lost consciousness. She woke up in a luxurious mansion and met the owner and the mastermind behind her kidnapping-Alted Dela Fuente-her husband. She was utterly confused about what was happening, especially when he insisted that she was Candice Dela Fuente, his deceitful wife. Anger, hatred, and disgust were all she could see in the eyes of the man standing before her. The man was very handsome, but he had an authoritative presence, and the first emotion he showed her was anger. He didn't believe anything she said. She wasn't Candice. She knew herself; her name was Aurora, and she knew she had no husband and could not have any relationship with Mr. Dela Fuente. But he refused to believe her; he wouldn't let her go or escape. She knew the man would make her suffer, but what else was new? Her whole life had been filled with hardship and mistreatment. That was nothing new to her. "You can't fool me, Candice, not again," Mr. Dela Fuente told her through gritted teeth. The blazing anger in his eyes was proof that he would never let her go. How could he believe her when she looked exactly like his wife, Candice? Every angle, eye, nose, shape of the face, even their body, looked like a xerox copy. "You're my wife." That statement made her feel overwhelmed. Wife? Impossible, yet something pushed her to pretend to be his wife. She had many reasons to impersonate Candice. Those reasons urged her to assume Candice's identity, borrow her persona, and escape her own as Aurora Sandoval. She was not his wife... she was not Candice. Life had not been fair in her past, so maybe she could be his fake wife and pretend to be Candice for a while. She was Aurora, and she would become Candice, the lost wife of the rich and well-known Alted Dela Fuente.

"You are not my child. "You don't belong in this family! "trash!" "Gross!" "What a disappointment!" "Ugly and trash!" "You're disgusting!" "You don't belong in this school, b*tch!" I let out a deep sigh as I recalled the hurtful words they hurled at me. Whether at home or school, it was the sameā€”nothing but pain was brought upon me. "Why is the world so unfair to me?" This was the question I always asked God. Why was I born into this world only to suffer? All I wanted was to be lovedā€”to be happyā€”so why does it seem like everything is denied to me? I don't understand why it feels like the world is playing a cruel trick on me, intentionally keeping me from getting what I desire. I sighed again. "I hope in my next life, I will be happy." I forced a smile, hiding the deep pain that lingered within me. I could never have imagined that everyone would be so cruel to me, that I would experience such hardship. I placed my hands on the concrete while gazing at the vast surroundings and the students scattered around. I had been sitting here on the railing of our school building's rooftop for some time. This is where I come whenever I'm sad or when everyone bullies me. I sighed once more and looked up at the sky. "Lord, was I a bad person in my past life? Because the world is so cruel to me." Was I truly bad? Or is it just the people around me who are? No one treated me well. Everyone hates me. I have no friends or even anyone I can call 'family.' Do I deserve to live in this world? I placed my hands on the concrete again to support myself as I stood up. "I'm tired of everything. I want this to end." I looked down. My knees trembled as I realized how high up I was. If I fall from here, I will surely leave this world forever. "Maybe if I die, they will be happy," I whispered sadly as I closed my eyes, recalling the faces of all those who caused me so much pain. Tears streamed from my eyes. I felt trapped in a never-ending cycle of torment, reliving the painful experiences over and over again. I've had enough. I'm tired. Maybe it's time to rest... forever. "To end this pain is to finish everything," I whispered again, opening my eyes and slowly stepping onto the edge of the railing. "Goodbyā€”" I was about to fall when suddenly someone forcefully grabbed my hand, causing me to land on top of someone's body. I recognized the familiar scent of his perfume. I quickly stood up as I realized who it was. It's him again... The guy who became my tormentor, making my life even more miserable. "You should have just let me go. Isn't that what youā€”and everyoneā€”want? For me to disappear from this world," I said lifelessly. His face remained blank, showing no emotion as he looked at me. "Tsk!" I was startled when he suddenly closed the distance between us and spoke coldly into my ear, "If you want to die, wait for me to be the one... to end your life." Then, he immediately turned his back on me. I don't know why, but a surge of intense anger suddenly welled up in my heart because of what he said. The sadness I felt moments ago was instantly replaced with rage. My face suddenly became devoid of emotion. "Oh, is that so?" I said, colder than ice, which made him stop walking. "Alright," I continued, quickly removing my heeled shoe and throwing it at him with all my might, hitting him squarely on the head. I quickly walked toward him and confronted his shocked face. "Sorry, I didn't mean to," I said, cold as ice, but dripping with sarcasm. After saying that, I picked up my shoe and swiftly turned my back on him.

Iā€™m hesitant whether to knock or not on the door where the President is. Iā€™m embarrassed by the tight red dress Iā€™m wearing. I couldnā€™t refuse because if I did, they would have dragged me here by force, so I just followed what they wanted. "Should I go in or not?" I whispered to myself. I thought about the money the Presidentā€™s bodyguard mentionedā€”1 million just to talk to me. I was shocked because I needed the money to pay for school this year. Iā€™m entering Grade 12, and I should have saved up by now, especially since the school year is approaching. "I guess I should go inā€”" I was about to knock when the door suddenly opened. "Are you going to stay there or leave without your money?" he asked seriously. My eyes widened in shock as I found myself face-to-face with the President of the Philippines. He was incredibly muscular and even more handsome in person. ā€œAhmā€¦ Iā€™m going in,ā€ I said, bowing my head as I walked past him. ā€œWhat do you need? What are we going to do? I can entertain you until tomorrow if 1 million is enough,ā€ I said in rapid succession. I was nervous because it was my first time meeting him. I was lucky, but at the same time, unlucky if he planned to do something elseā€”hopefully not. "Sit on my bed," he said, which startled me, so I quickly obeyed. Shit. Heā€™s scary. He stood in front of me, making me even more anxious. I looked into his eyes, wondering why he was standing there. I watched as he slowly unbuttoned his shirt, never breaking eye contact with me. ā€œW-what are you doing?ā€ I asked, my voice trembling as I averted my gaze. I felt him move closer, so I looked up at him. His facial features were stunning. He was different, very different in person. His eyebrows were thick, and his lips were incredibly red. ā€œLet me taste you,ā€ he said huskily while touching my face. I froze at his words and took a step back. I didnā€™t expect him to say that to me. What we were about to do was wrongā€”it wasnā€™t part of the deal. I couldnā€™t give myself to him. ā€œNo, I donā€™t want toā€¦ā€ I said, trembling as I tried to step back, but he stopped me, and I could still feel the floor beneath me. He held my chin and then moved his hand to the side of my arm. ā€œI want youā€¦ā€ I couldnā€™t move because if I refused now, Iā€™d lose the 1 million, and who knows, he might even kill me for saying no. ā€œMr. Presidentā€¦ā€ I said softly as his hand moved down to my chest. ā€œLie down,ā€ he ordered in a cold tone, so I obeyed him. Our thighs were still touching, so he spread them apart, and I couldnā€™t control myself because of how he held my thigh, which was heating me up. ā€œI want to taste your sweet body and lips.ā€ ā€œPlease, Mr. President, stop thisā€¦ā€ Even though I wanted it, I was still afraid. I could see him licking my entrance as if he were incredibly thirsty. I didnā€™t know where to turn because this was all so unfamiliar to me. ā€œAhhā€¦ Mr. Presā€”ā€ I couldnā€™t help but moan because of the pleasure. Mr. President, stop this, I canā€™t control myself. Please. I no longer recognize myself. I want my body, but my body wants him. ā€œYou taste so goodā€¦ā€ He licked so hard, like I was the most precious dessert of his life. His tongue was out, kissing the sides of my folds. I was going crazy because I could feel something coming out. I couldnā€™t hold it in anymore, so I let it out, and I saw him lick it and swallow it. I was so surprised. ā€œMoveā€¦ā€ I did as he said, lying down properly, still in shock from what had just happened. I saw him undress, removing his pants and boxers, which made my eyes widen. He came closer and closer, making me even more anxious. He leaned on me, then removed my dress so that I was fully naked, and he kissed me hungrily. I couldnā€™t keep up, so I kept my mouth shut. ā€œMove your mouth, woman. I want to taste you,ā€ he said sternly, scaring me. I kissed him back with the same intensity, making me arch my back. His hands roamed all over my body. He stopped for a moment to look at me completely. ā€œYouā€™re so beautiful, damn woman,ā€ he whispered to me. I moaned when I felt his hand rubbing my breasts, and slowly, he lowered his head to taste my peak, making me groan hard. ā€œAhhā€¦ woman,ā€ he moaned. He returned to my lips, kissing me so hungrily that I couldnā€™t breathe, so I paused before kissing him back again. But I suddenly cried out when I felt him enter me. ā€œOh, your first time? Are you okay? Do you want to continue?ā€ he whispered to me. ā€œYes, pleaseā€¦ā€ So he moved quickly, making me moan. I didnā€™t know where to turn, seeing how much he was enjoying himself. Then he kissed me again, not hungrily but passionately, as if he wanted me to stay with him. Then I felt myself release, and he did too. He hugged me, and I felt him kiss the nape of my neck. He fell asleep, and I stayed there, crying, thinking about what I had done. When I woke up, I was surprised to find that I was dressed and remembered what had happened last night, something I hadnā€™t expected. I was still sitting in bed when I caught his.

Khai held onto my arm tightly as I tried to pull away, but I couldn't; he was much stronger than me, and I'm just small. His cheeks were soaked with tears, and his eyes were red. ā€œP-Please, let me goā€¦ā€ I uttered, my lips trembling, and it felt like something was stuck in my throat. Why is he like this? Why wonā€™t he let me go? ā€œFrancine... W-Why?ā€ I could clearly see the pain and sadness on his face. ā€œWhat w-why, Khai?ā€ I asked, trying to ignore everything. ā€œW-Why didnā€™t you wait for me? W-Why?ā€ His shoulders shook, and he covered his mouth with his hand. He seemed weak. I couldnā€™t hold back my tears any longer, and they started to fall freely. ā€œW-Why didnā€™t I wait for you? K-Khaiā€¦ Do you even hear yourself? Why are you asking me that when, in the first place, you never told me I needed to wait for you?ā€ I asked, crying. It was so unfair to me. I felt like I was being choked, struggling to breathe. I tried to pull my hand away, but he refused to let go. ā€œBabyā€¦ā€ ā€œYou left me, Khaiā€¦ You left me and your childā€¦ And I had no right to stop you because I respected your decision,ā€ I said accusingly, hitting his chest. Maybe because he was weak, I was able to push him away even though he still held onto my elbow. ā€œF-Francineā€¦ā€ ā€œI had no right, Khaiā€¦ None! I let you go even thoughā€¦ I didnā€™t want toā€¦ Khaiā€¦ Even though I couldnā€™t bear to lose youā€¦ I actually did waitā€¦ I waited for you, Khaiā€¦ But for two yearsā€¦ Two years your child and I waited! And you made it four years! A-And nowā€¦ youā€™re telling me, blaming me for not waiting?ā€ I asked, clenching my fist and hitting his chest. ā€œW-What am I to you, Khai? Huh? I have no right over you, and youā€™re not even my boyfriend. Iā€™m just the mother of your childā€¦ Thatā€™s the only role I have in your life, right?! You know that, donā€™t you?! So what right do you have to blame me?!ā€ I shouted through my sobs. ā€œFrancineā€¦ā€ I wiped away my tears and still tried to pull my hand away, but he didnā€™t let go. ā€œI-I got tired, Khaiā€¦ I got tired of waiting without any assurance. I loved you so much that I forgot about myselfā€¦ I got tiredā€¦ For almost 16 years, Khai, I did nothing but love you. Imagine? 16 years of being a fool for loving you. Who wouldnā€™t get tired? I donā€™t want to risk it again; I was only 15 years old when you hurt me without knowing. Of course, your girlfriend was more important to you. Because sheā€™s the one you loved. And when we had a child? I thought I finally had a chance, but still, there was noneā€¦ Everything just became more complicated. You still had a reason to leave me,ā€ I said in a long, accusing tone, and at that moment, he finally let go of me. He rubbed his face, and his shoulders shook. ā€œWhy did you come back now when we canā€™t be together anymore? Iā€™m already married and have moved on. Iā€™m happy with my husband now and with our child. I hope you are tooā€¦ You can still be with our child. Just focus on him and love Zaidyx.ā€ After saying those words, I simply turned away, ready to leave. ā€œFrancineā€¦ If I could turn back timeā€¦ Would you still wait for me?ā€ he asked softly, making me stop in my tracks. ā€œWhatā€™s the point of waiting if Iā€™m just going to get hurt again, Khai?ā€ I asked him in return. ā€œFrancine, babyā€¦ā€ I closed my eyes as my chest tightened, and my tears fell rapidly. My hands and legs trembled. ā€œIā€™m sorry,ā€ that was the last thing I said before I finally left him there. I could still hear his loud sobs. No moreā€¦ We canā€™t go back to the past, Khai. Because everything is over, even though we never really started. You chose to let me go, and I did the same after 16 years of loving you. Iā€™m just tired, and I need a long break.
