"Ikakasal kayo sa isa't isa pagkatapos niyong mag aral, mga anak. Hindi ba masaya iyon?" Nakangiting sabi ni Victor, ama ni Vernon. Nagulat ang lahat. Si Vernon ay piniling wag magpakita ng kahit anong emosyon habang tahimik na nakikiramdam. Sa kabilang banda, Si Julia ay parang nanigas sa kanyang kinauupuan. Nasasaktan siya sa mga pangyayari. At dahil hindi makatiis, tumayo ang dalaga at sinabi ang nararamdaman. "Hindi po ako papayag, Ma, Pa. Tito at Tita. Pasensya na po." Nakayukong sabi ni Julia. "Bakit naman anak, hindi ba mahal mo naman ang anak namin na si Vernon?" Tanong sa kanya ni Erica, ang nanay ni Vernon. Habang kinakabahan na ang dalaga, si Vernon ay patuloy lamang ang pagkain. Pilit pinararating na wala siyang pakialam sa nangyayari. "Hindi po Tita. Nagkakamali po kayo. Hindi ko po mahal ang anak ninyo." Lakas loob na sinabi ni Julia sabay talikod sa lugar na iyon.

  • IT WAS MEANT TO BE HIM

Tragedy struck on a frigid December night in 2005, shattering the peace in our quiet, upscale neighborhood of Hannam-dong, Seoul. The victims were my parents: a British navy officer and his Filipino wife. The brutal home invasion left my twin sister and me orphaned and separated by fate. I was cruelly abducted by the robbers and sold into the sinister depths of a black market linked to an international orphanage. My sister, miraculously spared, was discovered by the police tucked safely under a bed, blissfully asleep and unaware of the horror that had unfolded. Eighteen years later, half a world away, I lived a life of privilege and comfort in the posh surroundings of New York City. Adopted by the billionaire Pages, James and Claire, I had everything a girl could wish for. Or so I thought. My world was rocked when I stumbled upon an online article with a photo of a girl who looked exactly like me-a girl who wasn't me. The article detailed the tragic story of a top student from a prestigious international school in Seoul, South Korea, who had been found beaten and left for dead. My heart raced as I showed the article to my parents. James and Claire, always loving and supportive, were visibly shaken by the uncanny resemblance. It was time to spill the secret they had guarded so closely-I was adopted. As I absorbed this earth-shattering news, I felt a deep, inexplicable connection to the girl in the article. Was it possible that this comatose girl was my long-lost twin sister? Determined to uncover the truth, I decided to travel to Seoul. My journey would take me into the heart of my past, into the whispers of my origins, and into the tangled fate of two sisters whose paths were meant to cross once again.
