Chapter 25

It��s drizzling and because Alice car is wrecked during the accident, she��s forced to use her pink-colored motorcycle as transport. Good thing her ex-boyfriend Hilton offers his car. I don��t know but I��m having this gutsy feel that Hilton really loves Alice despite his initial rejection of her marriage proposal. She��s reluctant to accept the good gesture but relents, thinking that it��s just a break-up fee from him. In return, she lends him her motorcycle, which he happily accepts.
Inside his car, she sees the lucky charm she gave him. The gift brings back good memories and sweet promises of a once happy relationship. In the past, Hilton swears he��s not like any of her Ex-boyfriend's he won��t ever love anyone else besides her. Guess promises are meant to be broken after all. Clearly, she��s still not over him and seeing his teary-eyed expression, he also feels the same.
Morning comes and Richard goes to Alice house. He��s in for a lovely surprise when the fine-looking Roman opens the door. Stupidly mesmerized is an understatement for his reaction. Richard clads malice on the situation and presumes Alice and Roman are a couple. Alice, however, corrects his wrong idea outright and lies that Roman is only her cousin. Richard somehow recognizes Roman as the Library man, the online heartthrob who frequents the local library. Alice is without a doubt pissed at Roman's indiscreet whereabouts, which may put both of them in danger.
Roman visits the seaboard again and pours his gist on the current circumstance. Bad news is, because of the online craze about him, his enemy may already know that he has awakened and is probably watching his every move. The good news, on the other hand, is that he started living with Alice, though she��s being hostile towards him.
Alice goes home after failing another audition. It��s sweet that she buys Roman some cherry juice and he also buys her dinner. Roman shares that he went out to investigate a potential enemy. But meeting with the guy (Bill's co-scientist) and studying his unfitting reaction proves his innocence. She��s rather confused why he doesn��t know his enemy and he admits losing 10-20 years of his memory. She compares his situation to the usual dramas wherein leads suffer from amnesia
She then notices him looking into her album. It��s a compilation of her and Hilton's couple pictures. She��s annoyed and throws it in the bin. Roman comments that for her to react that way, she��s surely still in love with her ex. She strongly denies and asserts that after the rejection, her feelings for him just blew and nothing��s left. Roman remains unconvinced though.
Later that night, Alice desperately looks for the album inside the garbage. Thankfully, Roman is kind enough to keep it and gives it to her. She holds the album like her most prized possession and on the verge of tears, she says ��I��m still loving him. Am I disgracing myself?�� Roman keeps his silence and caringly looks at her. After a minute or two, he asks if she wants to fly. He carries her, bridal style, and they take off.
Hilton digs deeper into Alice road accident. Intuition and evidence tell him that something��s amiss. The excessive amount of blood on the scene and Alice remarkable recovery doesn��t add up. He shares this information to Bill, who also finds the facts odd.
Alice practices her lines for her upcoming project. Though it��s obvious she doesn��t have the prowess for acting, she gets the role because of jaqueline Coincidentally, she��s supposed to take the role of a mortal turned monster. She asks Roman for some advice and gathers first hand info from the ��monster�� himself.
Roman relays that his unusual condition started after he was bitten by a leopard. His parents asked help from a Divine Healer. But the Healer told them they are too late. His blood is already poisoned and it affected his lungs. In sheer desperation, his parents begged the Divine Healer for some miracle medicine. He obliged and prescribed a potion. Three days passed and unimaginable blood loss later, Roman was miraculously healed. But the potion had some side-effects and he developed supernatural abilities. It also changed his diet from normal foods to fluids. Because of his bizarre condition, people labelled him a monster. Since his parents were put into harm��s way because of him, he asked permission to leave home and find a cure.
And Roman's historical account lull Alice to sleep.
Later on when she wake up in the evening, Alice went to visit her parent. They all gathered together for a meal. Her mom was telling her to be careful of some bad people she should be careful of the guys shes dating. She should face her carrier she wants her daughter to be happy not to be heartbroken by any boyfriend. Alice assures her mom that she will take note of all the things she told her and she will be meticulous with every thing she's doing in other not to affect her carrier. Her sister christy came with a guy to introduce to her parent, he's james (a medical doctor) everyone was happy for christy. Mr Jackson was very proud of his children,but he wish Alice will bring someone too one day, he wished she didnt become an actress he wants her to become something else so that she will be free of any gossips and people on social media talking about her since she's an actress,any slight mistake people are waiting to talk bad about you. He also advise her to be careful with her life. They eat together and the guy christy brought home is very handsome and goodlooking, he's so kind and respectful and that what make mrs Evely and mr Jackson like him more.
After they were done eating she saw a call from Richard. She baid her parents and went to her house.
