"Good morning, Elle!" Eri greeted me promptly. "Morning," I mumbled shortly and sat in my chair. He really annoys me! Well, if you're asking who I'm referring to, it's just my cold, ungentlemanly husband. Hmp, he's lucky I love him. Yes, I'm married and I have feelings for him, although it's just an arranged marriage. "Ohh? What happened to you? Why do you look like the sky and earth fell on you? Did you have another fight with your husband? Haha," Cia teased and moved to the chair next to mine. I didn't bother to answer her goddamn question and just rolled my eyes instead. I looked at Xyra, who was busy on her phone. She's probably stalking Kuya Axel again. "Hey, Elle!" I scowled as I remembered what my dear husband did again- "ASTHERIELLE LOUISVILLE!!!" I jumped and snapped back to reality when Cia shouted my full name. I glared at her, but she just made a peace sign. "Are you trying to make me deaf, huh, woman?" I asked irritably, but she just rolled her eyes at me. "We've been calling you for a while, but it looks like you're busy daydreaming," Eri said, moving closer to Xyra, who was still busy on her phone and smiling. I just pouted and said sorry. "Why are you spacing out? Is there a problem?" Cia asked. I just shook my head and nudged Xyra. "What?" she asked in confusion, seemingly unaware of what was happening around her. "Ouch! Damn," she complained when Cia smacked her on the head, glaring at her. They ended up chasing each other like children. Eri and I just shook our heads.

" she complained when she got hit by Cia, so she gave her a dirty look, and they ended up chasing each other like children. Eri and I just shook our heads.

"Elle," Eri called out to me, and I turned to look at her.

I sighed as I understood what she wanted to say.

"We had a fight," I pouted and looked at her.

"Again?!" she asked, and I nodded.

"I have an idea!" I looked at Xyra, who was panting and sitting on the chair in front of us, as well as Cia, who was disheveled and red-eared. I hadn't noticed that their chase had ended.

"What? You have an idea?" Eri laughed and covered her mouth with her hand.

"Of course, idiot," she snapped, making us laugh and straighten up.

"What idea?" I asked, and she grinned as she told me what she was thinking.

"What?!" I exclaimed, noticing some of our classmates looking at us.

"S-sorry," I said, turning my attention back to Xyra.

"Ignore him? You wan–" she cut me off.

"No. It's not just a request or command; it's a dare, right, girls?" she said, grinning. Cia nodded in agreement.

"Bu–" I was interrupted by Eri.

"No more buts. I think it's a good idea, right?" I looked at Cia, silently asking for help, but she just nodded.

I pouted.

"You look like a duck," Xyra said, making me pout even more.

"So, we have a deal now. If you don't do our dare, you'll buy us whatever we want for a month. So, will you do it or not?" Xyra asked.

I had no choice but to nod because if I didn't, I would go broke because of these three.

I'm Astherielle Louisville, 18 years old, and those three witches-oops, I mean girls-are my best friends: Erica Jade Hoseah, 18 years old, Cianna Roosevelt, 18 years old, and Xyra Shen, 18 years old. We're all first-year college students here at Wartor Academy

Astherielle's POV

"I'm tired," I yawned and lay on the couch.

I just got home. Sigh, another exhausting day. As for the dare, maybe I'll just start that tomorrow because I'm so tired. I was so exhausted that I didn't even notice falling asleep on the sofa.

I woke up feeling hungry, so I got up. It was only then that I realized I was in my room, but I distinctly remember falling asleep on the sofa. How did I end up in my room?

I brushed it off and went straight to the bathroom to freshen up.

After cleaning up, I headed to my walk-in closet and changed into my house clothes.

Once I was dressed, I went downstairs to the kitchen because I was really hungry.

I ran into Nanay Feli, the housekeeper in our home. I smiled and approached her.

"Nay Feli," I said, smiling, and held onto her arm.

"Oh, dear, you're awake. Are you hungry?" she asked. I nodded and pouted at her.

She laughed and led me to the kitchen.

In the five months I've been here, I can say they've gotten used to my ways, and I've grown close to everyone in the mansion except for my cold-hearted husband.

"Dear, here's your food. Eat up," Nanay Feli said, bringing me back to reality as she arrived with my meal.

"Thank you, Nay," I said with a smile. She nodded, and I started eating.

While eating, I glanced at the clock on the wall and noticed it was already past 10 PM.

While eating, I glanced at the clock on the wall and noticed it was already past 10 PM.

Has Zacharious come home yet? Has he eaten? I'll ask Nay Feli later.

I finished my meal and brought the dishes to the sink. I saw Nanay Feli there and approached her to ask if Zacharious had eaten and come home.

"Nay Feli, has Zacharious come home?" I asked her while she was cleaning some pots.

She turned to me and nodded.

"He got home around seven, dear. He was the one who carried you to your room," she replied with a smile.

Wait, what? He was the one who brought me to my room?

I turned away from Nanay Feli to hide the smile I could no longer contain. I was thrilled!

I faced Nanay again and asked if Zacharious had eaten. She said he had, so I bid her goodnight and went upstairs.

As soon as I entered my room, I lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

I smiled again, remembering how Zacharious carried me to my room. Thinking about it, I didn't even realize when I fell asleep.

Astherielle's POV

The next day, I woke up to the incessant sound of my alarm clock. I got up and turned it off.

Yawning and still half-asleep, I dragged myself to the bathroom to start my morning routine.

After finishing my routine and getting dressed, I went downstairs to the kitchen, where I found Zacharious sitting at the table with breakfast already laid out.

I sat down and started eating immediately. I could feel Zacharious's gaze on me, but I ignored it. Maybe he was surprised by my behavior because I usually greeted him with a "Good morning" before we ate together.

Zacharious Clevion Wartor, 21 years old. He's a fourth-year college student, about to graduate, and he's also the CEO of his own company.

"Ahem..." I heard him clear his throat, but I didn't pay attention and continued eating. Even though I wanted to greet and talk to him, I couldn't because of Xyra's dare. But they aren't here and wouldn't know, so maybe I could talk to him, right? They wouldn't find out, would they? But we did make a deal... Ugh, never mind!

I stood up and said goodbye to Nay Feli, telling her I was leaving. But before I could get out the door, a cold, deep voice spoke from behind me.

"Let's go."

I turned to look at him, and as always, there was no emotion on his face.

I shook my head and said I would ask Tatay Karlito (Tay Lito) to drive me. Tatay Lito is Nay Feli's husband and our driver.

Anyway, back to the topic. He insisted we go together, so I had no choice but to agree, as we were already running late. It was 7:14 am, and our class started at 8 am.

During the drive, an awkward silence enveloped us. In the past, I would chat with him when we went to school together, but not anymore because of Xyra's dare.

After more than 15 minutes, we arrived at the university. I got out of the car immediately and headed straight inside, ignoring him calling after me.

After more than 15 minutes, we arrived at the university. I got out of the car immediately and headed straight inside, ignoring him calling after me.

I reached my classroom at 7:35 am, greeted by three grinning faces.

"I saw that," Cia said.

"Me too," Eri added.

I ignored them and slumped at my desk. They kept pestering me about riding with Zacharious, but I didn't respond. They finally stopped when our first professor arrived.

Our last class before break ended, so we packed our things and left.

"So, are you giving up on our deal already?" Xyra asked with a grin.

I shook my head and looked ahead as we walked to the cafeteria.

"He insisted we go together, so I had no choice but to agree. But the deal is still on; I didn't talk to or acknowledge him," I explained as we reached the cafeteria.

They nodded, and we found a place to sit.

"Eri and I will order. You two wait here," Cia volunteered. Xyra and I nodded and waited for them.

A little while later, they returned with our food, and we started eating.

But before I could take a bite, the cafeteria erupted with screams and cheers.

I didn't bother looking to see who it was about and continued eating.

"Kyahhh Press, I love you!"

"V-Press, have my baby!!!"

"The SSG Officers, ackkk!!"

"Axel, I'm free tonight!!!"

"Ms. Ylaine, how do I become like you?"

"Elex, eken kene leng ehe~"

These were some of the screams and cheers echoing in the cafeteria, but I paid no attention since I was used to it.

"Axel is still so hot, isn't he?" Xyra said, staring behind me. I smirked and glanced back to see my brother and his friends approaching us.

"Hot, huh," Cia teased. Xyra snapped back to reality and gave Cia a flustered look.

"H-huh?" she stammered, but we just shook our heads.

The three of us knew she had a crush on my brother Axel, but she wouldn't admit it yet.

What the heck! This famous apartment doesn't have an elevator? They said the elevator is broken, like I care. My day was already bad, and now my move-in day is ruined too! Life is just so unfair. I immediately looked for my assigned room so I could start arranging my things. I found it quickly and slid my card before turning the handle. But as soon as I started opening the door, I smelled something burning. I realized it was coming from my new place. I hurriedly opened the door fully and looked around to see where the smell was coming from. A man in the kitchen cursed. I couldn't see his face because he was facing away, busy with something. My eyes landed on what he was doing. It was burning! I quickly dropped my suitcase and rushed over to him, covering my nose from the smoke. "W-what's happening here?" I asked in a panic, still covering my nose. He turned to look at me, also covering his nose. "Who are you?" He asked in confusion, but we both stepped back as the flames grew. "Fuck! Fuck*ng fire! I hate cooking with this!" he yelled angrily, fighting the fire. I looked around for something to extinguish the fire and quickly grabbed the fire extinguisher. I used it to put out the flames. The fire was out in no time. I smiled and smirked at the sight of his burnt eggs. Seriously, he couldn't even cook eggs! He gave me a dirty look, and I tried to hold back my laughter because of his appearance, covered in the fire extinguisher foam. "Funny?" "Is everything okay in there?" "Is anyone hurt?" "We're coming in." Voices from outside shouted. I watched as my companion went to the door and opened it. "No one was hurt, everything is fine, thank you," he said quickly before closing the door. He paused and looked at my suitcase. "Ah, that's mine," I said. "No one asked." He replied coldly, shoving his hands in his pockets and walking away. He entered a room and slammed the door. I grabbed a towel from my suitcase and started wiping my face from the extinguisher foam. I couldn't help but laugh at myself and at him. Deep down, I wanted to burst out laughing at his appearance, but still, he was kind of cool, especially with his aura. I turned around when I heard someone cough behind me. It was the guy from earlier. Yeah, maybe he's my roommate. He looked down, making me curious. I glanced down to see what he was looking at. Wait, what? He's looking at my br*ast? No, maybe I'm just imagining things. "You study at H.U?" Reality hit me when I realized he was looking at my ID. I assumed too much, Farah Joy. "Yes," I replied shortly and continued wiping my face as he walked over to the fridge. I put my towel back and turned to see him standing in front of me, drinking a beer. Does he have powers? He appeared out of nowhere! "You forgot to use 'sir' when addressing me, Lady Farah." Wait, how does he know my name? I haven't even told him! And why should I call him 'sir'? Who is he? "I saw your name on your ID, woman. Don't overthink it," he said seriously before finishing his drink. I was wrong again, Farah Joy! I wanted to slap myself. "Oh, haha... haha! Right!" I said awkwardly, scratching my head. "B-but why do I need to call you 'sir'? Who are you?" I asked boldly. He frowned and suddenly laughed. Gosh, his laugh drives me crazy! I snapped back to reality when he leaned close to my ear and whispered something that made my eyes widen and almost drop my p*nty. "Well, I'm Kevin Tran." I felt his soft lips on my ear, gently biting it. He stepped back and left. "K-Kevin T-Tran? The famous professor? Gosh, my crush!" I whispered as he walked away. What kind of apartment is this? I met my crush—I mean, the most famous professor I've ever known. Sir Kevin. I have a crush on him too!! Ghoddd!!

Now, he has graduated, and I am a 4th-year nursing student. I start knocking, and after a while, the door opens. "Surprise, love!" I happily greet him, but I notice that he doesn't look happy. "Love? Are you okay?" I ask. "Yeah, come in," he says, so I walk in. I look around, and it's dark. There are no lights on. His anxiety and trauma must have returned; he was like this when his mom passed away. I set the food on the table. "Love, are you okay?" I ask again. "Yeah," he says as he sits on the sofa, rubbing his head. I approach him and sit beside him. "Do you want me to massage you?" I ask, reaching out to touch him, but he moves away. "I have to tell you something," he says. Suddenly, I feel nervous. Please, don't let it be something bad. "Let's go out tomorrow. I didn’t get a gift for today," he says, and my anxiety is replaced with happiness. "Okay, love!" I say cheerfully. "For today, I want you to go home and rest. Let's meet tomorrow. I want to be alone," he says, which hurts my heart again. I stand up slowly. "O-okay, love," I say, and as I am about to leave, he suddenly hugs me from behind. "Happy anniversary, take care," he says and kisses my cheek before letting go. I smile and leave his apartment. Author's POV After his girlfriend leaves, his father suddenly calls. Before answering, he sighs deeply. [When is your flight?] "Monday," he coldly replies. [You better be ready. Remember what your mom said to you before she died.] "I remember that. You don't need to say it," he says in a very cold voice. [You're leaving for America on Monday, and you haven’t told your girlfriend yet, right?] He doesn't respond because he knows his father disapproves of his girlfriend. [Spend your last day with her, because it will be her last time spending a day with you.] He doesn't say anything and ends the call. He knows he loves his girlfriend deeply, but he made a promise to his mother. ‘Son, I know you will become like me, a famous model and actress. You must become a famous model and actor, okay?

I'm also wearing a silver necklace he gave me on our first anniversary. After a while, a car stops in front of me. I smile as he gets out and opens the door for me. I get in and fix myself, but I feel a bit nervous today for some reason, bwahaha. He is wearing a maroon turtleneck, a long black blazer, and black pants. Wow, he looks so handsome.

On the day Aki was diagnosed with terminal cancer, but his husband, Ethan Montifalco, was taking care of his first love's children. In the hospital corridor, His Doctor Keith Santos said grimly while holding a biopsy report, "Aki, the results are out. If the surgery is successful, your survival rate is 15 to 30 percent." Aki held her bag tightly. Her Little face was pale and solemn. "Keith, how long will I live if I don't have surgery?" "Six months to a year. It's different for everyone. In your case, it's better to do two rounds of pre-therapy first before the surgery. It will prevent the risk of spreading or undergoing metastasis." Aki bit his lip while forcing out, "Thank you." "Don't thank me. I'll arrange for you to be admitted to the hospital right away," Keith said. "There's no need. I don't plan to get treatment. I can't take it anymore," Aki said. "me" Keith wanted to say something more, but Aki tipped his head at him. "Keith, please help me keep this a secret. I don't want my family to worry." The Ford family went bankrupt.
