Found Again

I accepted the deal with Liam. I think his plan was the best thing for all of us. After hearing their story, I can’t help but feel sorry for both of them. Based on my investigation and Liam’s side of the story, they both genuinely love each other.

I hate it when people try to destroy someone else’s happiness just because of money or class status. I feel sorry for them. There is no genuine happiness in those kinds of people. Their world only revolves around money and power, there is no contentment in them. They failed to appreciate what truly matters, and that is God and family.

I want not only for Anne to achieve her dream of becoming a famous fashion designer but I also want her to love again. And yes, I’m rooting for Anne and Liam. Their relationship is such a waste. I feel like, they have an unfinished business, and now is the perfect time for their love to finally happen.

But before we start our plan with Anne, we need to secure Liam’s position in their company. I offer him not just to hype his name on my vlog and magazine but also to connect him on my connection in the fashion industry.

“Let’s go, baby!’

Andrew and I are scheduled to visit my adopted parents. It’s been months since the last time I visit them. I miss them so much and I know they miss me too.

I am thankful that the relationship I had with my adopted family never changed. We might not see each other often but we always make sure that we will communicate every day either thru call or text message. Even when I was in the US, I consistently communicate with them.

It was Andrew’s first time visiting the place I grew up in. My adopted parent’s house is not as big as the Alonzo mansion. Our house is just as big as the living room of the Alonzo mansion. It was good for a middle-class family like ours.

We are almost there, I already saw the car my adopted father parked outside our house. I call my brother Dennis to inform him that we are already outside the house so that he can open the mini gate of our house.

A minute later, I saw Dennis opening the gate. Andrew drives the car inside the garage. I already saw my mom and dad at the door. It’s a good thing that our house has a garage. Andrew and I can visit my adopted parents’ place without worrying that people might see us together.

“Hi, mom, dad! I miss you so much!” I ran to them and hug them tightly.

I miss them, I miss them so much.

“We miss you too, sweetie. We are so proud of all your achievements!” My mom Leona said while caressing my back.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

I release them to see their proud faces. It gave warmth in my heart hearing those words from them.

After our little chitchat, they invited us in. Andrew gave my mom Leona a bouquet, while he gave a bottle of wine to my dad Carlo and running shoes to Dennis.

“Mom, Dad, and Dennis, I’d like to formally introduce to you my boyfriend Andrew Lopez.” I formally introduced Andrew to them.

They welcome Andrew with open arms. I just found out that Andrew visited my parents when I left for the US. So it’s not the first time for Andrew to be here. No wonder my parents had no reaction when Andrew was making a move on me when I went back from the US.

“I’m glad that you two went back together. We saw how devastated he was when you left. We also saw how faithful he is to you. Despite his fame, he never looks at anyone or finds a replacement. He would always tell us that you will come back to him, and when that happens, he will never let you go.” My mom said teary eyes.

I’ve heard this story many times from my biological parents and to my friends but every time I hear it, it always feels like the first time hearing it. It made me hate myself a bit because I wasted so much time crying and mending my broken heart but all those pain are because of me and not Andrew. I was the one who made everything complicated.

But as they say, everything happens for a reason. If I did not leave the country, I wouldn’t meet Noah, and Stellar will never happen. Also, my strong connection in the fashion industry will help Anne and Liam to get to their dreams or goal. I believe that everything that has happened, or the decision we’ve made is in line with God’s plan.

Just like what we used to do before, my mom and I will be the ones to prepare our afternoon snacks while the boys will just do their thing. I take a look at them to check what they are doing, I saw dad Carlo carrying our family’s photo album.

I could see the excitement in Andrew’s eyes when my dad gave him the photo album.

“The afternoon snack is done. You can bring these snacks to them.” My mom said.

I nodded at her and take the tray with the snack. I went to our living room where the boys are while my mom followed me as she was carrying the drinks.

“You studied in ISM?” Andrew asked as soon as he saw me.

I look at him a bit confused because he looks confused and bothered by the fact that I went to ISM.

“Yes, but not for long. I had to transfer because even though I’m a scholar in that school, it’s a bit far from our house, so I asked my parents and my sponsor if I could transfer to a nearby school.” I explained to him.

My forehead creased when Andrew became more confused after hearing my story.

“Why? Is there a problem?” I can’t help but ask.

“Do you have any memories of when you were still studying in ISM?” He ignored my question and asked me instead.

“Not much. I only studied there for months, I did not even finish the whole school year.” I said still confused with all his questions.

“Are you sure? Maybe you saved a bunch of kids getting bullied by the higher level?” Andrew asked again.

I sighed aloud. “I’m not sure. But, wait? saved a bunch of kids getting bullied? Like what happened to you and Lance?” I asked.

He nodded. “Yes, just like how that girl saved me and Lance.”

“I-”

I was about to say that I don’t remember anything like that when my dad butted in.

“I think Andrew is referring to the classmates of yours. I remember that time when you asks us to extend your stay in that school because your classmates needed your help.” My dad reminded me.

“What? Did I?” I said to my dad.

“Yes, sweetie try to remember it.” My dad said.

I sighed and did my best to remember my grade school memories in ISM. Then suddenly a memory popped in my head. My eyes widen.

I did save my classmates from the higher-level bullies. I remember being annoyed with my two classmates for allowing the higher level to bully them. Until I can’t take it anymore. Since I will be leaving the school, I have nothing to fear. So I approach them and share with them the plan I had in mind to defeat the bullies.

Oh my gosh! It was the same story with Andrew and Lance.

My eyes widen and look at Andrew. He smiled and went to me.

“Finally, I found my real savior.”
