Chapter 1
Gennica Dennise Del Acosta Pov
"I'm Sory.. I'm so sorry, Genni..." I sobbed at the words that came out of his mouth.
It only means one thing... I've lost again... I've lost again in love that I'm the only one who loves... That I'm the only one who values this relationship. That I was the only one who was happy.
It still hurts to know the truth that even though he tried. That even though he tried to love me, it wasn't even enough to make him forget my brother.
That my brother's choice is his dream... That I chose to stay by his side to sympathize with him and to...not leave him here alone while he is sad and hurt by - my brother left her.
But still nothing... You can't teach love because your love for someone will be more dominant. Even if you try to forget him and still, he is still in your heart.
Even if there is someone who is ready to sympathize with you, who is ready to catch you when you fall in the mud or help you to get up. I was ready to join you in your dark world but nothing... Nothing happened either... I'm still disappointed.
There is really no more space in Jade's heart... All of that belongs to the woman he loves.
I rebounded. I became a pastime of the man I love. Because I love him so much. I'm ready to be hurt, just to be with him and somehow make him feel how he can be loved by someone like me At first, he completely rejected my suggestion that he make me a rebound. He doesn't want to hurt me because he loves me...he loves me just as a brother.
But in the end he still accepted me. We did...during the times when my brother wasn't around.
But I didn't even replace Dianne in his heart. He still loves her despite her leaving him.
He still loves my brother and now... They will get back together and I...
It's time to distance myself and give up on this battle... that I'm always the loser...
"I'm so sorry, Genni... I really love him... I really love your brother..." he cried and I started crying because of the pain I was feeling.
"Jade...did you even once... Did you ever ove me? Or did you manage to try to turn your feelings towards my brother? To me? Jade... it's unfair... It's been a while...but why is D-Dianne still? Why is she still? What does she have...that I don't have? Jade.. ." I sobbed as my tears continued to fall down my cheeks.
The weight...the weight in the chest. It's like the world is burdened by it. That it's not just the millions of knives stabbing my heart.
Why are they unfair to me? I just fell in love but why is this?
"I love you, Genni... I love you...as a sister. I tried. I tried to love you...but I really love your brother. He's really the only one, Genni... He's the only one..." he explained to me and I could see in his eyes... The sparkle, the love for my brother. The way he looked at Dianne I never saw the way he looked at me.
I was never able to get that…
He gently pulled my elbow to hug me. It only hurts me more because I feel like this is the last hug he will give me.
Because tomorrow...I know it's really gone and it's all over with us. Tomorrow I will no longer be his girlfriend. That tomorrow I will no longer be his hug and companion.
I became...Jade's temporary home because her real rest had come...
My eyes were closed because I couldn't see my surroundings properly because of my tears that looked like rain when they fell one after another.
He leaned my head on his chest and I cried and cried. One of his hands was on the back of my head while the other was on my waist.
I grabbed his chest and because the pain in my heart was too much, he clenched his fist and his clothes got tangled.
"It's hard...for him to forget, Genni... It's hard...that's why I couldn't love you...like I love your brother..." It's even more painful to know...that no matter what no matter what he did, Dianne's name is still etched in his heart.
I lost...
"I-I love you so much, Jade... I can't...I can't lose you from me... Jade... How am I? How am I?" I asked him crying. He hugged me even tighter.
"You can do it, Genni… You can do it… You're brave, aren't you? Gennica… I'm not… I'm not the one who deserves to be loved by someone like you. There's someone more deserving, Genni… It's not me Genni... I just hurt you, didn't I? That's why I know... there's another man who will love you unconditionally... I know he'll take care of you and keep you. I know he'll love you even more ... Your love that you gave me was too much."
"I-I love you, Jade... Only you... Please... Don't g-do this to me... I love you... I love you so much..."
"Find him, Genni... Find that person... The more deserving... I'm sorry..."
My voice echoed inside my condo as he slowly let go of me. When he gradually loosened his hug from me.
"Jade. J-Jade..." I said his name that almost didn't come out because of his hoarseness.
"Jade. Please. don't leave me... Jade. Don't go..."
"I'm sorry, Genni... I love you... I love you, you know that..." Just as a sister...Jade.
You can't love me like Dianne. You love me just as a brother.
For the last time he managed to kiss my forehead and it lasted for five seconds. He even wiped my tears and covered my face with his palms.
"You'll thank me if you find him, Genni... I know someone is waiting for you. Someone is meant for your love and remember it's not me. I love you... And thank you because somehow it was happy I'm with you. It's true that you made me happy, Genni...but my heart is still looking for something else. I love you, remember that. You're important to me so I'm not just pushing you, there's someone more deserving of your love, Gennica..."
I couldn't do anything but cry and even though I wanted to hold him tightly, he would rather leave. To leave me forever...
I love him, so much... No more...Jade. I will love no other man but you...
You are the only man I will love and no one can replace that.
I wish I could just be... I wish I could just be Dianne. I hope I'm the only girl he loves... I hope it's still us.
"Jade!"
He's not really for me. We can't because another girl is meant for him...
"sister.." I turned to the person who called me and saw my sister.
"Sister, I'm sorry..." he apologized.
"Why did you come back, Diane?! Jade and I are already happy, eh! She should be happy with me but why did you come back anyway?!" I scolded him and suddenly he cried.
"Sister... I'm sorry..."
"You should never come back, Diane! Yes, Jade still loves you! But she was happy when you were abroad!" I shouted at him and I couldn't stop slapping him on the cheek.
Both of his shoulders shook more because of what I did.
"You left him before, didn't you?! You hurt him, Diane! Because you chose your dream! You chose that thing over a man who did nothing but love you! That's why you don't deserve- it should be for him! You hurt him! You just hurt him!" I cried to him.
"I'm sorry, Sister Genni... I'm sorry for what I did to him, Sister... But I love him... I-I love him so much s-she too, Sister... You don't even know, Sister, that I'm also hurt whenever Mommy tells me stories about you and Jade... Sister, I'm also hurt..." she explained crying to me.
"But you hurt him more, Diane! He was hurt more! So when you came back...he wanted to be with you again... It's unfair to me, Diane... I hope... I hope you don't come back... I wish you'd just stay there! I'm content with Jade even though I know... She still loves you!
"I love her so much, sister Genni... Please... just leave her to me again... Jade is only mine..."
I shook my head and ran into my room. That's when I vented my anger and shed even more tears.
You are unfair to me! I love Jade! I really love him! But why is he not for me? Why...why is Diane still there? Why can't I even replace my brother in the heart of the man I love?!
Third Person Pov
"Good morning, Sir Altaraza!" Aly's staff happily greeted him.
"Good morning," he greeted them back with a smile.
He just shook his head at the praise he heard as he walked towards the woman's office, whom he was crushing on. He has been doing this for several years but he will never get tired and bored of flirting.
He just came back from his business trip from Dubai where he was gone for almost a month and he hasn't had a break yet because his flight was just earlier but he chose to visit his future wife.
She even brought a bouquet of flowers that she often makes.
He caught up with the girl who was too busy with her work. He smiled when he finally saw her beautiful face again that didn't even fade even after having a child. It's not even obvious from its appearance.
"Hi, good morning, Meds," he greeted her when he entered her office.
When he saw her, his smile widened and he quickly took the flower from her hands and placed it on her lap.
She appreciated his bouquet.
"Morning, when did you get back?" he asked her and she bent down to plant a kiss on his cheek.
The girl was not changing him because he was used to kissing her cheek and forehead. Not even on the lips. Because he hasn't answered her yet. It's okay if she's his girlfriend.
i can wait...
"Hmm, just a moment ago," he replied and he sat down on the visitor's chair and he lowered himself so that he could see her gentle face better, "I have a greeting for you," he added, "Of course, also for those our child." Aly laughed at him.
"Mrs. Altaraza," he uttered. It would be nice if that surname came from him himself.
"Hey, that's my father's surname, right? I'm not your wife," she reasoned out and he chuckled.
"Say 'yes' to me already and I will marry you right now," he said even though it was mixed with joking, he was still serious about marrying the girl.
"Why don't you rest, King? You just arrived from Dubai and why did you come here immediately?" she said.
"I missed you, And I missed the kids, too. The four of us on a date?" he told her.
He missed the kids too, he treated them like his own children.
"The two are busy because they have school. Excited to go in," she answered.
"And you didn't tell me about Bon's situation. He...he," he said and couldn't finish because he remembered the boy's condition.
"I'll visit them after my work. I just stopped by to see my baby-momma," he promised and stood up.
"See you later, Miss." After he left, he kissed her forehead, gently.
The sweet yes is really all that King Dwight is missing and waiting for. But it looks like he won't be able to get that anymore because his ex-husband has returned to the country
"King.." Aly called him as she hugged him. Because he caught up with the girl in the parking lot with the man he only recognized because of the photo his brother showed him.
She didn't expect their paths to cross and she admits she was nervous.
His eyes were cold looking at her so she also looked at him.
"Your wife?" he mocked him.
"You don't have the right to hug her like that, Mr. Sullivan," he hissed before he pulled the girl away from that place but he didn't like the emotion he read in her.
He's fucking jealous!
And he didn't expect that he would still approach Aly. It's really strong.
"How much the payment? I will pay for Meds?" he asked him.
"Ms. Altaraza, she will pay. I will call you when you pay." The two of them were left staring at each other after he left them.
"Isn't he awake yet?" King Dwight asked Aleixha, or if she was called by her nickname, Aly.
King is referring to Aly's ex-husband. To this day, he still has a grudge against the man because of what he did to the woman he loves.
Yes, he admits that he loves Aly and even if he doesn't know the other story about the two, he clearly sees that Aly's ex-husband cheated.
