Hello there beshies, sorry for the late post. I got home 2:00 AM from the concert and slept only four hours, went to work. Didn't get to write till lunchbreak, finished my chapter just now, haha. Pardon any typos as always, I was in a hurry to post this update and share with you all.
Anyway, there's a storm brewing and her name is Janine. I know you are anticipating her return into Alden's life, and it will be a challenge to their relationship that will either seal it or break it. This chapter is a prelude to that storm, and have faith in me like you always do, ok? You know how I make my stories so hang in there.
Enjoy reading guys, will catch up on my sleep, hoping to normalize my updates i the days to come :)
Janine stared at the billowing clouds outside her window on her flight back to Manila. She remained quiet for the past four years, partly due to the burden of guilt for causing Jade's death. She remembered the ugly scene in her hotel room, when Alden came by to talk to her. Janine was initially ecstatic over that visit, thinking that finally she was able to pry apart Jade from Alden, and hopefully in due time, she and Alden would get back together. She was not prepared for his fury over Jade's death, and the painful words that he uttered to her still ring in her ears to this day.
He grasped her arm painfully, his eyes like twin flames. His voice was dangerously quiet.
"What did you say to her?"
"I......I......was just trying to....."
"Haven't you done enough damage, Janine? Kulang pa ba?"
"But....I just wanted you back."
"What. Did. You. Tell. Her."

"I.....said.....I said we were.......getting back together."
He held her arm for a moment and suddenly let go. He squeezed his eyes shut and rubbed his face with both hands. With a deep sigh, he looked at her with sad eyes.
"Janine, I loved her. We were in a serious relationship, I was already planning my life around her."
"But.......no. I don't believe you. You're just angry with what I did."
His eyes were red-rimmed from crying.
