“Lory, come on,” Aling Linda called to me. We entered the municipal office and went to the registrar. We also got to speak with the mayor, and now I was staring at the twins’ birth certificates. NAME: Zeus Thanatos Evangelista SEX: Male DATE OF BIRTH: May 16, 20** PLACE OF BIRTH: Bagong Buhay 1, San Jose del Monte, Bulacan MOTHER: Cassandra Echidna Nyx Evangelista FATHER: N/A If only I could put my name there, I really would. I basically act like their father anyway. Cassandra is so lucky. I shook my head at my own thoughts—even if they were true. My eyes drifted to the bottom section of the birth certificate. ATTENDANT: Hilot CERTIFICATION OF BIRTH: I hereby certify that I attended the birth of the child who was born alive at 12:30 o’clock am/pm on the date stated above. Signature: _____ Name in Print: Erlinda Alonzo Title/Position: Hilot INFORMANT Signature: ____ Name in Print: Lorena Athenarose Galansa Blah blah blah. I stared at my beautiful name. It was so pre

I took a deep breath and opened my eyes. I traced my fingers along Nix’s biceps while staring at the wall. No matter how hard I tried, my mind couldn’t find any answers about what happened. I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t owe anyone anything. Unless Cassandra’s children’s father had something to do with itbut that felt impossible. “You okay?” Nix asked, concern in his voice, pulling me back to reality. “I was just thinking about what happened last month…” I murmured, tilting my head up to look at him. “Who do you think they were? I haven’t fought with anyone. At least… not that I know of.” His cool, chocolate-colored eyes met mine. He caressed my back, his hand trailing down to my waist and giving it a light, grounding squeeze, close enough for me to feel the warmth of him. Heat slowly crept through my body at his touch, tension tightening the air between us, but I tried to

But this was beyond dangerous. I knew this wasn’t a joke. Especially after what happened in the unit. All I knew was that the security there was supposed to be strict, yet they still managed to get inside. Now that they had me in their hands, what else could they do? My skin crawled. Fear and desperation washed over me as I imagined what they might do next. If I assumed anything at all, it was that Phoenix would do anything to get me back. I didn’t know anymore. My heart was already broken, and now I was dragged into their twisted game. I tried to stay strong, but the fear was overwhelming. I thought about Phoenix, how short our love story had been. And now here I was, facing a tragic ending. Days passed while I remained locked up, and after the first and last time I saw that man, no one came to help me. I started to lose hope. If I had known I would die this early, I would have at least eaten a lot of ice cream. To make things worse, these ugly men didn’t show an ounce of mercy

Continuation of the Flashback... I blinked several times. I wanted to speak, but I didn’t know what to say. After all, why would I even talk? I didn’t really know him, and we weren’t close. My gaze shifted to Phoenix, who was staring coldly at the woman he called Aestheria. I couldn’t read his expression. Suddenly, nerves washed over me, and I found myself looking around aimlessly. All the attention in the restaurant seemed focused on us. Foreheads were furrowed, eyes curious, as if everyone knew the people I was now sitting with. No one spoke, simply waiting for something to happen. “Who is she, Phoenix?” I looked at the woman again and swallowed hard when I heard her question. A shiver ran through me, especially at the way she looked at Nix. I could barely move, frozen in my seat, waiting for his answer. My chest pounded with anxiety, and my mind raced, circling around that single question. I could feel the tension hanging in the air between the three of us. Three, becau

I pressed my head against the wall, trying to push away the memories of the disaster that had become my life. I didn’t want to remember what had happened. Every recollection made my chest tighten even more. It was a double blow for me. Kidnapped and brokenhearted at the same time. But the real question was, when would I be able to leave this place? Days had already passed, yet they were still here, silent and watchful. Their expectations of me were impossibly high. I had already told them the truth—that they would get nothing from me—but they still didn’t believe. And here they were, still staring blankly, waiting for something impossible. What could they expect from Phoenix? The man’s heart was like stone, with no room for kindness. Why would he come to rescue me, of all people? I stared at the ceiling. I was exhausted, not just from being physically confined, but from the emotional torment of my situation. Was this really all there was for me? It was unbearably cruel. Just when
