BEYOND FACADE
by Lee Writes

When heartbroken Derrick meets the charming and mysterious Jason, love sparks in the most unlikely place. Their connection is electric—real, raw, and healing. But in a country where truth can be dangerous, Jason is forced into a marriage that hides who he truly is.

Determined to hold on to what they share, Jason makes a desperate request—one that blurs boundaries and tests loyalty. But love built on secrets can only survive for so long. And when betrayal slips through the cracks, everything they've built is threatened.

BEYOND FACADE is a poignant, suspense-filled love story about passion, sacrifice, and the secrets we carry to survive.

It still hurts Soledad knowing fully well that Manuel and Sandra are already married legally. Last night she couldn't sleep as she could not stop her stupid brain from imagining what the two will be doing together on their first night. What if Manuel is the first man to have sleep with her? What if she eventually turns out to be a virgin?
All these questions and more were just running through her mind all through last night until she falls asleep still thinking and funny enough the thought was what woke her up and Manuel's hurtful word "I do" actually made her shed tears but she wipe off the tears when her subconscious mind remind her of the promise she made while in the plane.

"Im moving on."She said to herself again, get out from the bed and wore the flipflops the hotel had kept in her room. She smiled recalling the incident that happened with the tricycle driver, how he brought her here and the sweet words he had said to her concerning the hotel and its true just as he had said. Soledad enjoyed their food, services and even the rooms are spacious enough.

She got into the shower humming a song all these just to get her mind off Manuel and when she was done showering, she dressed up and walk to the receptionist.

"Good morning Miss....Im very sure you had a wonderful night rest?"The receptionist greeted.

"Sure I did. This place is great."She commented.

"We make sure to give the best."She said and Soledad smile again confirming what she said.
"Can you recommend a shopping mall for me. I need to get few things."

"Miss we have an agent to do that. Just tell us what you want and we'll get it down here."The receptionist said.

"Its obvious you can but I want to do it myself. Staying here doing nothing will make me sick."Soledad said and chuckle.

"Miss I'm sorry if our services looks boring to you."

"Not at all. I just want to excercise myself. It's all good."Soledad said to her and she reply with a smile.

Sandra scream untop of her lungs and began throwing tantrums round the house, Mrs. Trinidad hearing her scream rush to her and held her as she continue screaming accompany with cries.

"He left me on the alter! Manuel left me on the alter." She said crying and her Mom hugged her.
Manuel walk into the condo unit, pull off the suit he was wearing and began parking his clothes into a bag when Mr. Merlyn walk in with Anna, he lift Manuel up grabbing him on his collar and slaps him real hard.

"What was the meaning of that stunt you pulled? How can you embarrass me like that huh? How can you leave a woman on the alter? What is wrong with you Manuel!" Mr. Merlyn yell in rage.

"I cant imagine spending the rest of my life with someone I don't even love. I don't love her dad." Manuel explained.

"And who do you love? That pr******te gir that almost get me led on your sister's wedding?" Mr. Merlyn lashes as Anna tightened her fist she can't believe what her father is trying to do.

"Really dad, you think I still believe you after everything that has happened? I am not getting married to Sandra and that's final." He said and zip up his box then lift it up the bed.

"You won't dare! Sandra is the one you'll get married to whether you like it or not." Mr. Merlyn said.

"Why dad? Why are you insisting Manuel get married to Sandra? Why do you want the marriage so much?" Anna ask him.

"Go ahead and tell us dad. Will something awful happen to you if I don't marry Sandra? What are you afraid of dad?"Manuel ask.

"I couldn't bring myself to say yes to Sandra. You're right Anna, I can't do without Soledad. I really need her back in my life." Manuel said sadly.

"But its already too late for that. Soledad has left the country and she's never coming back. You wasted time Manuel." Anna said and embrace him.
"Where are you gonna go from here?"

"Mom's. I'll stay with her for now and I wil go look for Soledad. She has to come back." He said and Anna watch as Manuel carried his bag and left.

The jeepney got to its stop and all passengers got down. Soledad watch as some people board a taxi, some bus and others tricycle and she kinda found the tricycle fun cause she can see how they're smiling to their passengers so she decided to board a tricycle too.
"Where are you headed ma'am?" The tricycle driver ask her.

"A VIP hotel. I need a place to lodge." She said.

"You look like you're not from around here but not to worry ma'am cause I'll take care of you." He said making her smile. She hops in as he drives off.

'I am really going to enjoy this place.' She muttered to herself.

Alisha and her friend Lia are sitting on the ground in the dance class watching others dancing. The both are just taking their own time to rest and chitchat.

"What is it I heard, that you're going crazy? " Lia ask Alisha.

"Do I look like someone who's gonna go crazy anytime soon? " Alisha replied with a question and Lia exhale.
"I just want to find my sister. " She added.

"Someone whom everyone believes is dead. " Lia said

"Except I and of course her. " Alisha said.

"Her? Who's her? "

"You heard I was going crazy and you never heard I was seeing my sister? You're unbelievable. " Alisha roll her eyes.

"Wait, you mean you're seeing the dead? " Lia ask mesmerized.

"She isn't dead but lost. I'm only seeing her because she wants me to. And now she's gone which means I'll have to go look for her. " Alisha said and then stand up to join the dancers.

This day happened to be the day Sandra and Manuel will get married but as usual everyone seems to be against it including his friends Lynne and Jigs who thinks it's a big mistake he'll have to live with for the rest of his life.

"And then let me live with it. This is my life and I want to spend it with Sandra. You know, today is the wedding and what I need from my best friends is their support and not discouragement. " Manuel said knotting his tie.

"I am not in support of this. I am your friend and I will not watch you make an irrational decision. " Jigs said and Manuel roll his eyes before letting out a sigh.

"You know what..... " Pick his suit from the bed.

"I am done with this conversation. If you like don't come to the wedding but I am getting married to Sandra and that's final! " And be dash out of the room.

"I think we went a little overboard. " Lynne said sitting on the bed.

"I feel like this is more than what we know. " Jigs said.

"I don't understand. " Lynne said.

"What if this is not just what Soledad did? We both know that Manuel never liked Sandra but something seems odd. " Jigs said but Lynne seems not to understand what he's talking about.

"So, we shouldn't go to the wedding? " Lynne ask.

"And why shouldn't we? He's our best friend and we'll have to support him even though we don't want to. " Jigs said putting on his own suit.

√√√√√√√√√√
When Mr. Trinidad was escorting his daughter Sandra to the isle where Manuel is standing, Jigs and Lynne could see the excitement on his face but they still didn't know what has changed.

How can he forget Soledad just like that? He didn't even know that she has left the country after all he said he didn't want anyone to talk to him about her.

"Before we begin the wedding, is there anyone who's against these two decisions to get married? "
The priest ask the audience and the intended couples looked into the audience but there was none and then the priest cleared his throat to continue.

"Alright. Let's get you two married. " The priest said and they all laughed including the couples.

"Sandra Trinidad do you take Manuel Merlyn as your husband? For richer and poorer, in sickness and in health? Till death do you part? " The priest asks.

"I do. " Sandra gladly responded with a smiling face and followed by a thunderous clap and then he turn facing Manuel.

"Manuel Merlyn, do you take Sandra Trinidad as your wife? For richer or for poorer? In sickness and in health? Till death do you parts? "

Manuel kept mute making the priest recite the vow again and again.
"Mr. Merlyn. " The priest called him to life.

"Sorry priest. Please recite the vow again one last time. " Manuel said making the audience to laugh including the priest himself.
He recites the vow again and Manuel held Sandra's both hands smiling.
"I.... "

The End!
Sorry it's short but I had to sleep, it's been a long day
Do you think Manuel will regret his decisions?

Manuel became a total different person to Soledad, no matter what she do or say, he still sees her as the girl that broke his heart. Anna thought they should have gotten over what happened after all Soledad had stop seeing her father but Manuel wouldn't pay attention to it and he shocked Anna when he told her that he's getting married to Sandra soon.

"That's madness we both know that. " Anna confronted him.

"It's not Anna. I can't live my life around Soledad anymore. I have to move on. " Manuel said making Anna to scoff.

"And you decide to move on with someone you don't even love? How stupid can you be.!" Anna cursed at him.

"I love Sandra. " Manuel said sounding defensive and she walk up to him.

"Are you sure? " She ask him but he didn't say anything.
"Because it doesn't seem like that to me. You can't tie yourself up like that Manuel. There's still a chance to fix everything. " Anna said.

"There is nothing to fix so stop. I and Soledad are done. We're over. " He said and turn his back.

"Don't do it Manuel. Please don't get married to Sandra. " Anna begged him.

"Shut the door when you leave. " Manuel said and walk to the next room.

When Anna got home, she could not utter a word to Soledad except Francis cause she did not know how to begin telling her.

"I can't believe Manuel is doing this. " Anna said to Francis.

"I think I understand where he's coming from. It's not that easy to forget a thing like that. " Francis said but Anna really wish he'll just come back to his senses.

Even his friends tried to talk some sense into him but he just wouldn't budge saying that Sandra is the one he wants to get married to and when he sees that the pestering is becoming too much, he warned them never to talk about Soledad to him after all, he has forgotten about her.

It seems like Soledad was the only person that didn't know about Manuel's wedding to Sandra and when she found out, she went on her knees begging him not to push through with it but he told her that nothing anyone will say that'll change his mind. He even push her out of his apartment and that's when Soledad had a very quick flash and she can only remember the running of a horse🐎.

When Soledad got home, she was sad and refuse to eat or do anything and this result into her falling sick, Francis wanted taking her to the hospital but she told him not to that she'll be fine........

Alisha can be seen picking clothes from her wardrobe and throwing them to the bed. Now that she has gotten information about Allison's location, she's going to look for her and bring her back home.

"Lisha." 7year old Allison called softly and Alisha quickly rush to where she's sitting on the bed.

"I am fading away. " She said close her eyes slowly and open them. Alisha looked confuse that instant, she didn't know what to do and she can't touch her.

"No! You told me that you're not dead! You said that you're not going anywhere till I find you. What change? " Alisha ask her.

"I am falling apart Lisha, my head is hurting me. I can't stay that long. " She said and tears began rolling down Alisha's cheeks.

"You'll find me right? " Allison ask her and before she could utter a word, Allison fade away making Alisha to begin crying very loud calling the attention of her father and other maids.

"What's wrong Alisha? " Her father ask her.

"Allison, she's gone. " Alisha said and fall on her bed.

"Your twin sister has been gone for a very long time now Alisha. " Her father said and she raise her head to look at him.

"No! She was here. We were together but she had to leave cause something is wrong with her. " She stood up and walk up to her dad.

"I know where she is dad. Just let me go bring her home. " Alisha said in tears.

"I've had enough of your madness Alisha! Don't you pity yourself?! Allison is dead and she'll remain dead! " He yell at her and Alisha falls to the ground crying.

"Do you Sandra Trinidad take Manuel Merlyn as your love wedded husband? "

"Yes I do. " Sandra replied looking into Manuel's eyes smiling at each other.

"Do you Manuel Merlyn take Sandra Trinidad as your love wedded wife? "

As Manuel was about to reply, Soledad woke up sweating and she's already crying. She knew the meaning of this dream and she's not going to be part of it...... She will not watch Manuel get married to someone else and what did he say about moving on? Maybe that's exactly what she'll do, she's going to move on away from everyone including him and she's not going to do that in Scotland.....

"I agree with you Soledad but I'll miss you. " Anna said and hug her

"Here is everything you need for the trip but do you think the Philippines is the best place to go? " Francis ask her handling her the documents.

"I'll find out once I get there. Just take care of yourself alright. " Soledad said and embrace her brother.

Aside from Bethel and Bethany she didn't tell anyone else about the dream she had and it's a good thing that everyone supports her leaving the country but Soledad never tell them that she's ever coming back. It seems like Philippines is gonna be her new home.

AIRPORT ✈

"Should I come with you? " Anna said holding her both hands.

"You're pregnant Anna and who do you want to leave my brother with? Thank you for your love and understanding Anna. " Soledad said in tears.

"You're sure you're not going to come back? " Anna ask her and she nod as a yes.

"But I'll make sure to always call and text you. " Soledad said in tears and they embrace each other again.

"Once you get on the plane call me. And the second you arrive in the Philippines don't forget to ring me also. " Anna said on her neck.

"I won't forget. " Soledad said and they disengage from the hug.

INSIDE THE PLANE✈

Just as promised, Soledad called Anna and they had another emotional conversation and when they finish, Soledad ended the call and wipe off the tears that's on her face.

"No more tears. No more begging. You're beginning a new life now Soledad and you'll be successful. Goodbye Manuel. " She said to herself and the plane took off.

If you ask me I think she made the right decision....
But don't you think something big is waiting for her in the Philippines?

"Just one. " He said indicating with his finger.

"Okay." Soledad said as she let out a silent moan.

"What are you doing Soledad?! " Bethel ask her but she ignored Bethel's word as she let Mr. Merlyn walk up to her and he's about touching her, she slap his hand off.

"Don't touch me! " She fired at him and Mr. Merlyn took a step backward wondering why she had a change of expression.

"You're making a very big mistake." Mr. Merlyn said maybe that will make her change her mind cause honestly he's all aroused, he hoped none of them had noticed it.

"My biggest mistake is over. I can't be a fool for the second time. I am done with you Mr. Merlyn. " She said and walk out on him towards the church premises.

Bethel nod her head in a pity as she walk closer to Mr. Merlyn.
"Go and fück something or something else might go wrong. " She said to him like a whisper before following Soledad. Mr. Merlyn groan in so much anger...... He had thought he'll be able to get Soledad to sleep with him cause he really misses her. Gush! 😞
________________
During the wedding party, Soledad tried all her possible best to avoid Manuel and his father and things were going just as planned until she bumped into Manuel on her way up to get more drinks for the guests. The both are standing right in front of each other staring without words. Soledad didn't know what to say to him neither is he, he's just full of anger and resentment towards her. He didn't even know the kind of animal to classify her but what he's sure of is that, she disquiet him.

"So, when do you plan to stop? " He broke the suppose silence with his harsh piercing word.

"I don't know what you're talking about. " Her voice breaking not looking at him in the eye and then decide to walk away quietly.

"Are you still sleeping with him? " Soledad pause on her track and exhale. Manuel turn to her.
"I mean my father. Is he still fvcking your sorry p***y?! " The tears she has never want to roll down in front of a person like Manuel finally did and now he'll think he's right and consider her a weakling.

She wipe her tears and turn to face him.
"I don't know what you're thinking of me but I'm not that kind of person. " She said to his face and he scoff.

"Really?! " He walk two step closer to her and lean forward to her face.
"If you're not then what kind of person are you? A person that let her brother's boss bang her? Or a person that's a pr******te and a liar! " He fired at her and the fvcking tears gathered again. She hates this! If only the tears can just stop rolling, it's not like it can change anything.

"Judge me if you want but you should know that you ain't saint either but I strongly hope you'll let me explain. " She said and he use his hand to stop her from talking.

"Save your explanation to someone who might listen to you. Keep fvcking my father if that's what your sorry p***y needs. " He said to her and walk away hitting her shoulder and instead of her to go get what she wants, she broke down in tears and falls to the ground.

Sandra lost track of Manuel immediately after the wedding party, she tried calling him but his phone was switched off. They were suppose to leave together but now he's nowhere to be found.

She went to his condo unit but he wasn't there and she had to leave to their family house maybe she'll find him there only for her to meet Mr. Merlyn sitting on the couch looking frustrating.

"Say hi to my son's girlfriend. " He said in his drunk tune and she already know he's drunk but she didn't come here for him, she's here for Manuel.

"Is Manuel here? I've been trying to call him but his phone is switched off. " Sandra said and Mr. Merlyn chuckles.

"You know I lost my chance with Soledad today. She didn't let me touch her and do you know why? It's because she still love my son. " This time he's already an inch away from Sandra.

"But Manuel doesn't love her any more. " Sandra said.

"Yes but how am I going to let her understand that? " And now he's standing very close to her.

"Do you know how I'm feeling right now? " Mr. Merlyn said like a whisper and she could smell his want for s*x... .......

Alisha who's just walking into her room saw the 7year old Allison sitting on her bed and her face looks like she has been crying.

Just for the record, Alisha has been seeing the 7year old Allison and maybe she's the reason Alisha hasn't felt the real Allison's absence. And worst, she's the only one seeing her. 7year old Allison had told her that she should relax that she's not a ghost since she's the only one seeing her that she's only with her because she chose to be with her.

"Hey, are you okay? " Alisha ask sitting away from her on the same bed pulling her shoes.

"Yea." Was all she said before sniffing.

"Okay." Alisha said and stand up then her phone began ringing, she answered the call after seeing that the caller was the private investigator she had employed to help her look for Allison since the 7year Allison keep telling her that she's alive not dead.

📱Any news yet?
She spoke into the phone quietly so as her father who's downstairs wouldn't hear her.

📱We spot her in Scotland. She's living here.
The private investigator said from the other end and Alisha smile to 7year old Allison who's just staring.

📱Very good. Please keep me posted.
Alisha said and ended the call.

"He said he spot you in Scotland. Isn't that a good news! " Alisha said excitedly but Allison didn't look excited as expected.
"Wait, you knew you were in Scotland all these while? " Alisha ask her and she nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me? " She ask her again.

"What if I'm not in Scotland. " 7year old Allison said making Alisha to become puzzled.

"I don't understand you. What do you mean by that? " Alisha ask her.

"I can't see into myself Lisha. I don't even know what I'm doing presently. " She paused waiting for Alisha to say something but she didn't so she continued.

"I'm in darkness Lisha, every thing seems dark and blank. I don't even think I'm any where close. "She said softly.

" What do you mean? Are you telling me that you might be dead? "Alisha said making a frightened face.
" I might cause I can feel my heart breaking and melting. "7year old Allison said and lie back on the bed. Alisha hand is on her mouth in awe. She cannot let this happen.

Bethany had come to Soledad's house to come spend some few times with her and Soledad told her what had happened ever since the truth was out and what Manuel had done to shatter her heart into pieces.

"Life still goes on. " Bethany said to her while she's in tears.

"My life doesn't. This is all my fault! I should have just let fate have it's way. " She said in tears.

"And maybe we wouldn't have gone this far. Everything happens for a reason Soledad. Just look at the brighter side. "

"But there is no brighter side Bethany! I ruined everything cause of my greed and now Manuel don't want to have anything to do with me anymore. He's already in a relationship with someone else. " Soledad said in tears and Bethany move closer to her.

"You wouldn't blame him but you also need to forgive yourself. " Bethany said and hug her.

"My heart is bleeding Bethany. " She cried on her neck. There was silence until Francis walks in and clear his throat as they disengage from the hug.

Soledad knew what this is about so she stood up.

"I am sorry I snuck out but I had to see Manuel. " Soledad apologized and Francis took a step closer to her.

"And did you see him? " He ask her. She stare at him for a while before bowing her head.

"Yes, I did. " She replied slowly.

"I am sorry. " Francis said making her to raise her head.
"I should have known better. I shouldn't even wait for you to explain your side of the story before I believe you. That's what real brothers do. " He added. She walks closer to him.

"Don't blame yourself Francis. I understand you're just looking out for me. " She said.

"And my duty is to always stand up for you no matter what but instead I stood against you. Please forgive me Damsel. " Francis apologized and she tears begin to roll down her cheeks.

Francis has never believed in her name 'Damsel' he used to tease her when their parents were alive that the name doesn't suit her but here he is calling her the name.
"That's the best name you've ever gotten. " Francis concluded and Bethany clap her hands.

"No wonder the name Soledad sound weird. Damsel sounds beautiful! " Bethany contributed and they both laugh.
*.*.*.

Reasons why Bethel had been avoiding Soledad is because she blamed herself for what had happened to her. If only she stayed off the line as her sister has warned her then maybe the guilt won't be this much. How much she love Soledad but it's like her love for her isn't enough to lead her to the right path.

"And how am I suppose to look at her? Everything begins with me. " Bethel said sadly.

"Obviously yes and you were wrong for leading her astray and what I want is for you to meet your fate and let the guilt keep haunting you for life. " Bethany said and Bethel look at her then she smile.
"But Soledad do not want you to go through that. She understands that what you did you did it because you cared about her and Francis. I will also do the same thing it's just that we don't think alike. " Bethany said making Bethel to laugh.

"But seriously, this is the time she needs us, she needs you. " Bethany said.

"I'm going to see her but that's after I've fixed things on my part. " Bethel said and Bethany let out a sigh.

"Take your time but at least show your concern. " Bethany said and lie her back on the bed.

*.*.*.*
A MONTH AFTER
It's the day every one has been waiting for, Anna and Francis wedding which they held in a church. The church the husband attends and Soledad had promised Anna and Francis that she'll be of her best behavior and no crying for Manuel as he'll be around all through and worst he'll be the one to walk her in. Soledad didn't want to do it at first but she has to since Francis told her to prove to him that ahe has moved on from him.

"Alright fine I'll do it. " Soledad had said and Anna hugged her.

Soledad still finds it awkward to walk with Manuel been that she knows her feelings towards the guy but what's the point? Why is it that she's the one that hasn't moved on? Manuel seems happy with his fiancee so why can't she be happy?

"Are you sure? " Bethany ask her. They're both outside the church.

"Yeah. I'll be fine. " Soledad said and exhale while Bethel is helping her adjust her white dress then she sight Manuel and Sandra hopping down from a car. Bethel also saw this so she stood up making Soledad to look at her.

"Breathe." Bethel said to her and she exhale again.
"We'll be inside. " Bethel said as she and Bethany walk into the church then Manuel walk closer and Sandra isn't with him this time.

They stare at each other for some seconds before Manuel open his arms and she slowly slide her arm into his.

"Stop looking at me and look ahead. " Manuel fired and she immediately turned her face away.

They gradually walk into the church auditorium as Soledad could feel that same feeling she had when they were in a club. She wanted removing her arm from his but she was able to control herself till they got to where they'll separate and the second that happened, she grab Bethel as if she wanted to fall.

"Should we go outside? " Bethel ask her but instead she nod sideways. Francis who's already on the isle turn backward to see Soledad who faked a smile and then gave him a thumbs up👍 as a sign of 'good luck'

And to receive another shocker is Mr. Merlyn walking Anna to the isle. She didn't see this. She thought Mr. Merlyn was against the relationship between her brother and his daughter but why is he here?

Soledad manage to stand up right watching what is happening in front of her.

While the exchanging of vows was going on, Soledad notice that Mr. Merlyn wouldn't stop staring at her and it's freaking her out.

"You may now kiss the bride. " The priest announced as that was the only thing Soledad witnessed before asking Bethel to see her out.

"Are you okay? " Bethel ask her after they got to a corner.

"No. My heartbeat wouldn't stop. I have to leave or else I might faint. " Soledad said and Bethel began using her hand to pat Soledad's back.

"You'll be okay. "

"Threesomes wouldn't be bad either. I might be old but I'm still capable. " Mr. Merlyn appeared from no where.

"What really is your problem old man? " Bethel ask him standing in front of Soledad cause she knew Soledad won't talk been that she's weak and helpless right now.

"You can choose to defend her now but you can't defend her from the world. " Mr. Merlyn said and Bethel chuckles.

"You mean you've been sticking that old rod into my friend? Ewwww! " Bethel said making a face and Mr. Merlyn walk closer.

"If you want I can ride you and your friend too. I am a strong man. "He boosted while Bethel let out a sigh.

" Okay. Let's do it this way old man. You'll turn around now and get yourself and old rod outta here or I might get mad. "Bethel, picking her words gradually while Mr. Merlyn smile.

" Before I'll take my leave permit me to tell you that Manuel is getting married in two weeks. "He said.

" What?! "Soledad and Bethel said simultaneously.

" Yes. He's getting married to Sandra and you'll have to watch the one you love in another woman's arms. "Mr. Merlyn said and turn to leave.

" Wait! "
And he paused.

"I don't want Manuel and Sandra to get married. I want Manuel to be mine. He was mine and he'll remain mine. " Soledad said and Mr. Merlyn smile then faced her.

"I like your determination but there is one thing to be done. " He said getting closer.
"You know very well that Manuel does whatever I tell him to do. And I can still break him and Sandra. You just have to do exactly as I say. " He said and began caressing her face.
"Allow me to visit your world again and Manuel will be yours. "

"Just a one night stand? " Soledad ask him. There is so much desperation in her tune.

"Just one. " He said indicating with his finger.

"Okay." Soledad said as she let out a silent moan.

"What are you doing Soledad?! " Bethel ask......
Is Soledad crazy or she's just acting crazy? 👿
