Chapter 14

(A/N: Try listening to Demi Lovato's skyscraper while reading this chapter.)

"What the f*ck did you do to Devon!" sigaw ni Ivan at sinapak nya si James. "She didn't attend her class," sabi ni Ivan. Wala namang sinabi si James. "Tsk! Your wife is missing and you don't say anything! F*ck you!" sabi ni Ivan. "If I find her, I won't bring her back to you. I will keep her and heal her wounds. Wounds that you've created," sabi ni Ivan at nagmamadali itong umalis upang hanapin si Devon.

James went home. There was no sign of Devon.....

Night came. The mansion felt empty. Lonely. He felt empty.

***
Devon was sitting on the beach. For how long she was there, she didn't know. "Devon..." a familiar voice said. She felt arms wrapped around her. "I was so worried. Don't do that again okay? At least tell me where your going," sabi ni Ivan. She actually hoped it was James. She felt a tear rolled down her cheek. "Ivan, I have a favor to ask. Can you take me far away, away from here. Away from him..... I'm begging you. I'm begging you," sabi ni Devon. Ivan tightened his hug. "I will. I will take you far away from him," sagot ni Ivan. "Thank you Ivan. Thank you......" sabi ni Devon.

****

Devon was missing for a week now. James doesn't know anything about Devon's whereabouts. After a week, he received some documents. It was divorce papers with Devon's sign. There was a note.

James,
   I feel so tired now. I don't know what to do anymore. So I want to escape. I'm finally giving you the freedom you want. Just sign the documents please. Let's end this, because I feel so tired now.... I'm giving up.

                                                                                                  Devon

James thought about it. He know he was being selfish, not letting Devon go. "I don't love her," he reminded himself. "But what the hell is this feeling...?" tanong nya sa sarili.

*****
Ivan watched Devon. She's been spending her time in Ivan's family's rest house. It was peaceful there. She felt relaxed, watching the sea. But she couldn't help to feel sad. As she remembered everything that happened, tears just won't stop falling. Ivan came near to Devon. "Devon, I want to say something, that I've been keeping a secret for quite a long time now," sabi ni Ivan. Nakikinig naman ng maiigi si Devon. "Devon, I like you," pag-amin ni Ivan. "Ivan...I....I..." di makasagot si Devon. "I know you don't see me that way. But, I'm willing to wait. As long as forever, I'm willing to wait," sabi ni Ivan. Devon touched his cheek. "Thank you Ivan. For everything. I don't know when these wounds will completely heal, but when I can finally trust and love completely again, I'm sure it will be you Ivan....." sabi ni Devon. "As I said, I'm willing to wait. So take your time, I will right here by your side, helping you heal those wounds. I won't stop being your guardian. One day, I know you can completely untangle yourself from him. And until that day comes, I'll be your guardian......" bulong ni Ivan. "Thank you Ivan..."

Chapter 13

Enrique just came back from his business trip. He went to the Kwon's house immediately to see his daughter. "Thank you for taking care of my daughter," sabi ni Enrique. "Don't mention it. Devon was really happy to see Sophie," sabi ni James. "Papa!" sigaw ni Sophie ng makita ang ama. Devon smiled at Enrique. "Hey baby!" sabi ni Enrique at kinarga ang anak. "So...did you behave here?" tanong ni Enrique. "Yes papa," sagot ng bata. Nagkwentuhan muna sina Enrique at Devon bago nagpaalam sina Enrique at Sophie. "I'll miss you mama," sabi ng bata habang niyayakap si Devon. "I'll miss you too. Be a good girl always okay. Always listen to your papa," bilin ni Devon. Tumango lang si Sophie.

After a tearful farewell, pumasok na sina James at Devon sa mansyon. Naging tahimik na naman ang mansyon, dahil wala na ang makulit na si Sophie.

They went back to their daily routine. Monday came so fast.

At one class, Devon suddenly tripped. Wala man lang tumulong sa kanya. Nagmadali nyang kinuha ang mga gamit nya ng may biglang tumulong sa kanya. Nagulat sya na ng tiningnan nya ang mukha ng tumulong sa kanya, ito'y walang iba kundi si Ann. "T-thank you Ann," sabi ni Devon. "you're welcome," sagot ni Ann. Devon heard the others whisper how Ann is so nice, how much ungrateful she is, and that Ann is James' 'real girl'.

Ann raised her eyebrows. She tugged on Devon's elbow. "Devon, can we talk for a sec?" tanong ni Ann. Devon nodded. "I know you might think that I'm only trying to destroy your relationship. But Devon, I really love him. I was born and raised poor. And James, well his family is rich. Our status is completely different. And I know that one day, he'll be in an arranged marriage. But I can't help to fall in love with him. I'm sorry Devon, but I love him so much to give him up," sabi ni Ann at umalis din agad. Na-guilty si Devon sa mga sinabi ni Ann. Pakiramdam nya, sinisira nya ang magandang relasyon nina Ann at James.

Papunta na si Devon sa susunod nyang class ng madaan sya sa likuran ng building. May narinig syang pamilyar na boses. "Sino yun?" isip ni Devon. Pagsilip nya, nakita nya si Ann. She's being pinned on the wall by some guy. Ann's eyes widened when she saw Devon. She and the guy are in the middle of a kiss. The guy immediately fled when he saw Devon. " I... I uh.." sabi ni Ann. Bigla sinampal ni Ann ang sarili. "Devon, don't do this please!" biglang sigaw ni Ann. Naguluhan si Devon. "Please dont hurt me!" sigaw ni Ann. Nagulat si Devon ng makita nya sa likod nya si James, halata ang galit sa mga mata nito.

"I, I didn't do anything," pagpapaliwanag ni Devon. "I don't need your excuses!" sigaw ni James kay Devon. "If you think that by hurting Ann, you will have me, that's where your wrong," sabi ni James. James went to Ann and brought her to the infirmary. While Devon, her heart pierced by James words, was left crying and broken.

Chapter 12

James stirred from his sleep. He saw a small figure standing beside his bed. "Is uncle James awake now?" asked Sophie. He nodded. Sophie immediately wrapped her tiny arms around James' waist. "Uncle James, Sophie is hungry...." the little girl murmured. "Where's your mama?" James asked. "She's still sleeping..." Sophie replied. James carried the little girl. "Come on, I'll make you some breakfast. Do you want some pancakes?" James said. The little girl clapped her hands cutely. "I want some chocolate chips pancake uncle," the little girl said with a sweet smile.

Nanonood ang mga kasambahay ng mga Reid kung paano nagluluto ang amo nila. Nakakunot ang noo na nagfi-flip ng pancakes si James. Ng magawa nya ito ng paayos, natuwa at pumalakpak naman si Sophie. Tuwang tuwa ang bata ng ma-flip ni James ng maganda ang pancake. "You know uncle, I wanted to have a little sister. But since my real mama is not here, I can't have a little sister. But mama Devon promised me that she'll give me a little sister someday," Sophie suddenly said habang kumakain sila. Halos mabulunan si James sa sinabi ni Sophie.

Kumakain na sina James at Sophie ng magising si Devon. "Mama!" sigaw ni Sophie at binigyan ng yakap si Devon. "Good morning baby. Did you slept well last night?" tanong ni Devon. "Yes mama. Mama, uncle James made me some breakfast!" sabi ni Sophie with a smile. "Aahhh... I'm sorry James," sabi ni Devon, looking down. "It's okay," sabi ni James. Ngumiti si Devon. "Join us for breakfast. We can't consume all these pancakes," James said to Devon. Devon sat down and ate breakfast with Sophie and James. They looked like one big family.

James is busy studying when he heard a knock on his door. "Come in!" Devon opened the door. "What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy?" galit na tanong ni James. "Uh, sorry for bothering you. Sophie and I will just go to the carnival. I'm wondering if you would like to join us..?" Devon asked shyly. "I don't have time to do stupid things! And I'm done babysitting your friend's kid," sigaw ni James. Devon slumped in defeat. She felt tears forming in her orbs. "S-sorry for bothering you," Devon said and went out of the room.

At the carnival, Devon and Sophie, with Lauren and Kyra, are having fun. The carnival was wonderful. There are colorful lights, rides and many booths. "Mama, I'm thirsty," sabi ni Sophie. "Let's buy some drinks over there," yaya ni Lauren at Kyra. The three went to buy drinks. She smiled to herself as she saw Sophie waving.

Then something caught her eyes. It was him with his friends and Ann. He's wearing his most casual clothes and his arm is around Ann's shoulders.

Despite the crowd at the carnival, Devon can still see James' figure clearly. "Buti naman nakangiti na sya, sayang nga lang yung ngiti nya hindi para sa akin," bulong ni Devon sa sarili. "Yo.." Ivan popped out of nowhere. "One day, you're gonna give me a heart attack," Devon murmured but Ivan heard her. "You're here by yourself?" tanong ni Devon kay Ivan. "Nope. I'm with James and crew," Ivan chuckeled. "Well, why are you here then?" tanong ni Devon. "Eh, they're old enough to handle themselves. And I wanted to greet you," sagot ni Ivan. "Mama!" Sophie screamed. "Mama!?" Ivan asked, his eyes round with surprise. "That's my friend's child," Devon said and then she explained her and Sophie's situation. "Are you mama and papa's friend?" Sophie asked Ivan with her cute smile. "He's mama's friend darling," sabi ni Devon. "Devon, I have to go now. There's an emergency," sabi ni Kyra with a panicked look on her face. "What's wrong?" tanong ni evon, nag-aalala sa kaibigan. "Don't worry about it. I just have to get home fast," sabi ni Kyra. "Devs, ako rin. Grandma had a heart attack," sabi ni Lauren, maiyak-iyak. Devon hugged her friend. "Take care okay? I'll pray for Grandma," bulong ni Lauren sa kaibigan. Umalis na sina Lauren at Kyra.

"Mama, who is he?" Sophie asked. "He's uncle Ivan baby," sagot ni Devon. "Is he a friend of uncle James, too?" tanong ng bata. Tumango lang si Devon.

"Ivan, I can carry her myself," Devon said as she tug on Ivan's shirt. "It's okay. You're so thin, I really doubt that you can carry Sophie," sagot ni Ivan with a smirk.

*flashback*
"Mama! I want that teddy!" sabi ni Sophie while pointing at a huge pink teddy bear. The three went to the stall.

"Thank you uncle," sabi ni Sophie kay Ivan. Ivan had to play a few times bago nya nakuha ang teddy bear. But it was all worth it, kasi nakita nyang nakangiti sina Sophie at Devon.

*flashback end*

"Thank you Ivan, really. You made Sophie very happy today," sabi ni Devon. "Come on, you must be tired," sabi ni Ivan at hinatid na nya ang dalawa sa bahay.

**********
He saw her. All throughout the night, her face flashes through her mind. Seeing her with Ivan, he didn't know what to do. Gusto nyang lapitan ang dalawa, gusto nyang komprontahin, pero di sumusunod ang katawan nya sa sinasabi ng utak nya. And alam din nya na dapat na na-kay Ann ang pagtingin nya. He should find Ann's reaction cute. He should see her cute when she asks him to do task in booths. Pero imbis na yun ang makita nya, ang tanging nakikita nya ay ang pangungulit at pang-iinarte ni Ann. "Since when did I started to compare Ann to her....." bulong ni James sa sarili.

Chapter 11

James entered Devon's room. Enrique didn't found out that they sleep in differeny rooms. Devon looked so peaceful. James smiled and went to his room.

James woke up when a tiny finger poked his cheek. "Huh?" James murmured when he saw a little version of Devon. "I must be dreaming...." bulong ni James sa sarili."Sophie! Sophie! Baby!!" James heard. It was Devon's voice. "Mama, I'm here!" sigaw ng bata. "Baby!? Mama!? What the hell is going on?" isip ni James. "Baby! I was looking everywhere for you!" sabi ni Devon sa bata. "I'm so sorry mama. It won't happen again," sabi ng bata, halata ang lungkot sa mukha. "I was shouting like a lunatic! Don't ever do that again to mama. You know how much I love you baby," sabi ni Devon. Sophie kissed Devon's cheek.

Napatingin si Devon kay James. "I...I'm so sorry. Did she disturbed you?" tanong ni Devon. "Who is she?" James asked, ignoring her question. "She's Sophie, Enrique's daughter," sagot ni Devon. "Mama, who is he?" Sophie asked. "He's uncle James," nakangiting sagot ni Devon. Sophie looked at James and gave him a sweet smile. "She looks like Devon," James murmured. "Mama, is uncle James a friend of Papa?" Sophie asked. "Papa. He's talking about Enrique," James thought. He feels uneasy because Sophie is calling Devon 'mama'. "Yes baby...." Devon said, kissing the girl's cheeks, making the little girl giggle. "Come on baby, we shouldn't bother uncle James. And papa is probably looking for you," sabi ni Devon sa bata. "I'm sorry again James," then lumabas na si Sophie at Devon.

Sophie was born and raised in America. But she and her father moved back to the Phillipines when she was five. She can speak Tagalog and English fluently. She's now six years old. She has never met her mother. Her mother left her and her father after giving birth to Sophie. She treats Devon, her father's friend, as her real mother.

James went downstairs and stiffened at the sight before him. Enrique and Devon are playing with Sophie. They looked like one big family. "Uncle James!!" Sophie said. "Uncle James, play with me?" Sophie asked. "Sure," James said smiling. Devon was surprised at James answer.

"Sophie never met her mother. She.... she left Sophie with me after she gave birth, and I never saw her after that. Devon and I are glad that she knew Devon is not her real mother despite her young age. But she still treats Devon as her real mother. And I'm grateful to Devon because she's treating my daughter as her own," Enrique said to James once they had the chance to talk. James had fun playing with Sophie, a thing he didn't expect. He used to hate kids. But he felt at ease with Sophie. Maybe because he looks like Devon.

*flashback*
He carried Sophie on his shoulders. He tickled the little girl. Then his eyes met Devon's. She smiled at him. He stiffened, wondering if she really smiled at him.
*end of flashback*

"You're so lucky to have her. I'm sure you're future kids will be lucky to have her as you're mom," Enrique said. "Yeah..." was James answer. He used to hate kids, and as far as he know, Ann hates kids too. "Papa! Join us!" Sophie said, giggling. "Sure, sweetie," sabi ni Enrique. James sat there, thinking about family. What if.... what if he become a dad? But there's something wrong with the picture in his head. Because instead of Ann, he saw Devon as the mother of his children inside his head.

James was resting inside his room when he heard a knock. Devon opened the door. "Quen lest already. He was in a hurry. He said thank you for letting him stay here. And I just let Sophie spend some days here, since Quen can't look after her at his convention," Devon informed James. "I'm going out," James said coldly. And off he went to see Ann.

James and Ann were in a middle of a kiss when James suddenly asked, "Ann, what do you think of having our own family?" Ann looked confused. "James, what's with the sudden topic? And I know you hate kids....." Ann said. "Nothing," and they went back to what they were doing.

He went back at the mansion at midnight. When he went to check on Devon, he found out that Sophie was sleeping beside her. He wondered, if he's gonna have a family of his own, would this scene infront of him would always greet him when he got home? He just smiled at the thought.

Chapter 10

"Good morning Lady Devon," said a girl her age. "Call me Devon, I don't want anybody calling me lady," sabi ni Devon. "Lady, it's not right for us to call you by your name. Breakfast is ready Lady Devon," sabi ng servant. "Wait, how old are you?" tanong ni Devon. "I'm 19 Lady Devon," sabi ng servant. "Ooooh... same age as me," sabi ni Devon. "What's your name?" tanong muli ni Devon. "I'm Fretzie, Lady Devon," ani ni Fretzie. Maganda sya, tsinita. "Are you Australian," chika nya kay Fretzie. "No, Lady. I'm filipina," sabi ni Fretzie. "Marunong kong magtagalog? Tsaka taga-saan ka?" tanong ni Devon. "Marunong po. Taga-Cebu po ako Lady Devon," sagot ni Fretzie. "Ano ka ba, wag mo nga akong i-po. Magkaedad naman tayo eh," sabi ni Devon. Hinatak nya si Fretzie at niyayang samahan sya sa breakfast, kasi tulog pa si James. Nung una ay umaayaw pa si Fretzie, pero dahil sa pangungulit ni Devon ay napapayag nya ito.

"I have to do my job Lady Devon," sabi ni Fretzie. "Lady Devon ka dyan. Sabi ko sayo Devon na lang. Wag kang mag-alala, di ka pagagalitan, sagot nga kita diba? Sige ka magtatampo ako sayo nyan," sabi ni Devon with a pout. "Sige na, Devon na nga lang," sabi ni Fretzie with a smile.

"Lady-- I mean, Devon, you're friend is waiting for you downstairs," sabi ni Fretzie. "Okay, thanks," sabi ni Devon. She went to get dressed in a simple white sundress. She went downstairs, hoping to see Lauren and Kyra downstairs, but what she saw surprised her. "Quen!" sigaw ni Devon. "Devon..." sabi ni Quen. Nagyakapan ang magkaibigan.

James woke up from his slumber when he heard Devon's voice. He changed into a simple polo shirt and jeans. "What's going on?" he asked one of the servants. "A friend of Lady Devon arrived sir," sabi ng servant. "Friend?" James asked. "Yes sir. A person named Enrique," sabi ng servant. "A guy..... inside our own house," sabi ni James sa sarili.

Bumaba sya at nadatnan sina Devon at Quen, nagyayakapan. He just watched as the two are tightly embracing. He saw the way Quen hugged his wife, the way he look at her, the way he smiled at her.

"Quen! I missed you so much!" sabi ni Devon sa half- Pinoy half-American nyang kaibigan. "I missed you too, Devon," sambit naman ni Quen. "I sent you an invitation to my wedding...." sabi ni Devon. "Sorry Devon-von, I've been busy.. with me taking over the company and such..." sagot ni Quen. "I understand..." Devon said with a sweet smile.

Di naman nila napansin ang isang lalaki sa may hagdan na kung makatingin akala mo papatay. James clenched his fist because of the two oblivious people in front of him. "Ehem-ehem," James faked cough. The two turned around. They saw a blank-faced James walking towards them. "I think it's the first time we're gonna met, Mr....." sabi ni James. "Gil. I'm Enrique Gil. A very good friend of Devon's. Just call me Enrique," sabi ni Quen sa kaharap na binata. "I'm James, Devon's HUSBAND," James said, emphasizing the word husband. "Funny, you said you're a good friend of my wife, but I've never heard her mention you before," dagdag pa ni James. "Hmm... well, I guess you don't know many things about her, considering that I've been her friend for seventeen years," Quen said with a smirk.

Nararamdaman ni Devon ang tensyon sa pagitan ng dalawa. "Quen, do you want to stay here for the night? Andami natin na dapat pag-usapan," aya ni Devon sa kaibigan. Nintindihan naman nni James ang sinabi ng dalaga kaya di na nya pinigilan. "As long as he doesn't do anything improper to her. Or else...." isip ni James.

Nagpunta sina Quen at Devon sa may veranda at doon nag-usap. "How's Sophie?" tanong ni Devon. "She's okay. But she misses you alot," sabi ni Quen kay Devon, may malungkot na ngiti sa kanyang labi. "I miss her too. Ikaw ha, wag na wag mong pababayaan si Sophie ha. Malalagot ka sa akin!" sabi ni Devon, nakatingin sa mga mata ni Quen. "Yes maam!" sabi ni Quen, at nagtawanan ang dalawa.

"What the hell are those two talking about?" inis na tanong ni James. "Why does he have to look and smile at my wife like that?" ani ni James sa sarili habang tinitingnan ng masama si Enrique.

"Sophie wants to visit you tommorow. Nasa bahay sya ngayon ni mama. Pero bukas dalawin ka raw nya dito," Quen informed Devon. Niyakap ni Devon si Quen sa sobrang saya. "Really? Na miss ko na si Sophie!" sabi ni Devon, di nya maitago ang napakalaki nyang ngiti.

Napatayo naman si James sa upuan nya ng makita nyang niyakap ni Devon si Enrique. He curled his fist. "I don't want to see this," sabi nya sa sarili at pumasok sa kwarto nya. He layed down on his bed and tried to think about his real feelings to Devon.

Chapter 9

"James, are you okay? You've been silent lately..." Ann asked. They're in the school field, having their lunch outside. "I'm okay," James said with a smile. "Are you sure?" pangungulit ni Ann. "Yeah," ang maigsing sagot ni James. "Hey lovebirds!" bati ni Sam. "Where's Ivan?" tanong ni Ann. "I dunno. He said we could eat first... maybe he has something to do," Sam said, shrugging.

James saw a lonely girl, eating lunch by herself. He heard that both Lauren and Kyra were absent, both of them have flu. She was having a lunch quietly..... until someone approached her. "Now I know where Ivan is..." isip ni James.

His eyes are glued to the pair under the tree. Ivan stood in front of Devon. Una, nakasimangot si Devon, pero ng makita nya ang mukha ng taong nasa harapan nya ay di nya napigilang ngumiti. "Hey, can I join you?" tanong ni Ivan. "Uhm... sure," sagot ni Devon na may kasamang matamis na ngiti.

PPinagmamasdan pa rin ni James ang dalawa. Nakita nyang pinapanood ni Ivan ang asawa nya habang kumakain ito. Nakita nyang binigyan ni Devon ng pagkain si Ivan. Nakita nyang nginitian ng pagkatamis-tamis ni Devon si Ivan. "Did she ever smiled to me like that?" tanong ni James sa sarili. May biglang kurot syang nadama sa kanyang dibdib.

"Am I jealous....?" isip ni James. "Impossible," isip nya.

His thoughts were interrupted when Ann held his hand. He smiled at her and continued eating.

"Ivan, won't your friends go looking for you?" tanong ni Devon. "Nah, they could manage..." sabi ni Ivan. They sat under the tree, enjoying the silence and each other's company.

"How I wish I could be in James' shoes," Ivan whispered.

"Huh?" tanong ni Devon kay Ivan, pero paglingon nya nakita nya natutulog pala si Ivan. "Weird..." isip ni Devon at tinawanan na lang nya ang sarili. Ngumiti lang si Ivan ng palihim ng marinig ang tawa ni Devon.

Sumakay si Devon ng sasakyan ng maganda ang mood. Pagsakay nya nakita nya na andun na pala si James, naghihintay. May bigla na namang kumirot sa dibdib ni James ng makita si Devon na masaya... dahil kay Ivan.

James got a call from her father. His father said that James's mom and him would go to America for business. They want James to move to the mansion with Devon, since there are servants there that could make their life easier. James agreed to this. So he and Devon packed their bags and went to the mansion.

"Good evening Lady Devon, Sir James," the maids bowed. "Good evening," devon greeted back while James ignored them. They don't have to pretend here, since all of the servants here knows about Ann. "As usual, you'll be sleeping in the guestroom," sabi ni James. Devon went to get some rest after her tiring day.

--------------------------
AN: I'm sorry di ako nakapag-update ng mabilis. Medyo busy kasi sa school eh, tapos na kasi ang vacation namin dito. Sorry talaga. And sorry din sa crappy update....

Guess what!? Enrique will be part of this fic :) Sa mga DevQuen dyan ;)

Guess kung anong magiging role nya? Will he affect James and Devon's relationship? Find out sa next chapter ☺

Chapter 8

Three months has passed, but James and Devon's relationship remains the same. James is still with Ann. Devon started to ignore her feeling towards James. She knows that he wouldn't love her. Devon got closer with Sam and Ivan, especially Ivan. They even go out together, just the two of them. "It's just a friendly date, nothing more," Devon always says to herself. Weeks and days passed, now it's time for their wedding.

Devon is inside a room with Kyra and Lauren. A make-up artist is working on her face while a hairstylist id fixing her hair into a bun. "Kinakabahan ako," sabi ni Devon sa mga kaibigan. "Ganyan talaga pag ikakasal," sabi ni Kyra. "Sure ka na ba talaga bes?" tanong naman ni Lauren. "Oo bes. Kakayanin ko," sabi ni Devon, trying hard to smile. They heard a knock. "Can I come in?" tanong ni Ivan mula sa kabila ng pinto. "Sure," sabi ni Devon. Pumasok si Ivan. Di napigilan ng binata ang ngumiti ng makita si Devon. "You look.... beautiful," sambit ni Ivan. Nag-blush si Devon. "Thanks," sabi ni Devon. "Hey!.......................woah! Is that you Devon?" singit ni Sam. "Yeah," natatawang sabi ni Devon. "You look stunning. James will be mezmerised by his beautiful fiancee," sabi ni Sam. "I doubt it, Ann will be here, remember? You two don't look so bad yourselves," sabi ni Devon. "Hehe, thanks. But I always look dashing, it's not a big surprise," ani ni Sam. Nagtawanan ang lahat sa sinabing ito ng binata. "It's time," sambit ni Carina. "You ready future sis?" tanong ni Carina kay Devon with a smile. Tumango si Devon at nginitian si Carina.

"Woah," isip ni James ng makita si Devon. She looks very beautiful in her white Vera Wang dress. "Woah," isip ni Devon ng masilayan si James. He looked handsome in his black tuxedo. (AN: Remember Star Magic Ball?) James absent-mindedly smiled at Devon. Devon smiled back, though she was a bit surprised.

"And you may now kiss the bride," sabi ng pari. James and Devon shared a kiss. People cheered. James and Devon's mom's hugged the newly-wed couple. Their fathers smiled. Kyra and Lauren, both tearing up, hugged Devon while Sam and Ivan congratulated James. The two also hugged Devon. Ivan whispered "Good luck," on Devon's ear. "Thanks," bulong ni Devon.

Sa reception, James and Devon were forced to act sweet. They're forced to smile, to hide what they really feel. To mingle with different people.

Devon went to the backyard to get a bit of fresh air. There were too many people. She felt tired, her face stiff from smiling. She can't even find her husband. But sadly, fresh air wasn't the thing that she got when she went to the backyard. It was heartache. She saw James and Ann kissing. "So much for for better and for worse. All I get is the worse part," Devon said, while wipping her tears. She went back to the reception, smiling, but hurting inside.

"You look so serious Dev," tanong ni Devon. "I'm..... I'm not feeling well," sagot ni Devon. Ivan took her to the garden. "You okay?" tanong ni Ivan. "I'm fine now, thanks," nakangiting sambit ni Devon. "What's wrong?" alalang tanong ni Ivan. "James... I saw him kissing Ann. I don't know why, but it hurts so much," sagot ni Devon, tears threatening to fall from her beautiful eyes. Ivan wiped her tears away. "Shh.... a bride should never be sad on her wedding day. Smile, it suits you more," sabi ni Ivan. Devon smiled at Ivan's sweet words. Ivan hugs Devon. James caught them on that position. He doesn't know why, but his fist curled in anger, seeing Devon with another guy. "What the hell am I doing? I love Ann, I shouldn't be angry," isip ni James at bumalik na sya sa reception.
