CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

A/N: There is a huge time-skip here, though I will explain what happened rin naman, heads up lang!

P.S.: This is unedited, so expect typographical and grammatical errors ahead.

Juno POV

 After 8.5 Years...

"Juno! You have 10 minutes."

I'm currently in Paris, France. I'm here as the guest performer at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Medyo kinakabahan pa rin ako kahit 3 years na akong nagpe-perform, pero it still feels like the first time.

I know you're wondering kung bakit ako nasa ibang bansa at hindi nabubulok sa kulungan. I'll tell you later.

Before I conquered the stage, I took a look at myself in the mirror.

So, this is Juno now. Much bolder and a fighter. There's been a lot of change in me over the past 8 years. I gained some tattoos, started going to the gym, and worked hard to maintain my physical fitness. I finally pursued my music career. Who would've thought that this kid right here would become a music sensation in the States?

"Break a leg!" my manager, Penelope, said.

The crowd was chanting my name.

I could see how they admired me.

At this stage, I could feel like myself again.

A fresh start to correct all the mistakes I made in the past.

"You're crazy, Emilia!" I said irritably.

Emilia Nadine Makhlouf was the first person to become my friend when I got here in the US. She knows where I came from and all about my dark past. She's half Filipino, half Lebanese, kaya nagkakasundo kami. This friend of mine is the topmost paid model in the contemporary world.

"I bet bukas, nasa E! News na tayo," she said with a laugh. It's not impossible, though, because she freaking kissed me while I was performing on the runway. Akala mo talaga girlfriend ko siya, nakikipaglandian pa sa stage. Kaya ever since, kami lagi ang laman ng mga chismis dito sa Amerika.

I washed my face and did my night routine. Nakasakay kami sa private jet niya, and we were on our way back to New York.
