PROLOGUE


    “Where’s Dn, Dane?” Diana Dane’s younger brother Dustine Dave asks her in annoyance.


    “I don’t know.” She answers her brother while frowning her forehead.


    “Why does he take so long?” her brother said.


    Dane was annoyed with brother Dave while waiting for their other brother Dn. It’s been an hour since they are outside the school waiting for their brother toe out. Today is the first day of Dn in high school while Dave is in the second year and she is in the third year.


    “He should be here.” His brother wanted to go down.


    “I will kill that one.”


    Dane walked across from their car. Surely their mommy will be angry if they arete. Even the driver looks at them. Why is it that they are not like others who have cell phones while their parents are rich? Especially since she is a teenager. She promised to earn money so she can buy one.


    “Ma’am, your mommy call and ask where are we?”


    “Better to go and check him, Dane,” Dave suggested.


    “Tss!” She had no choice but to go to her brother to find out where he was. She was on her way up to the building that included her ssroom when he suddenly appeared in front of her and was apanied by two men who she thought were his ssmates.


    “Dane, where are you going?”


    “What took you so long and where have you been?”


    “The teacher ordered us to carry books.”


    “What?” she asked.


    “If you don’t believe, then don’t.” She looked at his twopanions. “My ssmates and new friends, the teacher give us an errand.”


    “Hi,” the two greeted her at the same time.


    “She’s Diana Dane, my sister. Dane, this is Cluster and Wace.” She looked at the two you were referring to. She thinks Cluster is Dn’s age while the one he introduced named Wace looks like her age.


    “Hi, nice meeting you.” Cluster reached out his hand so she took it. Wace did the same to her. But she immediately grabbed her hand when she felt the electricity. She noticed that Wace was holding his own hand and staring at her.


    She also looked at it. They stared at each other and she felt her surroundings stop and she could see nothing but Wace’s beautiful smile on her. As she stared at it she noticed there was something she felt that she could not exin. It was as if something wanted to lose inside her. Her heartbeat was fast. It was as if something was crawling her stomach that she couldn’t understand.


    “Dane,” she was startled when her brother called her.


    “Huh?”


    “I said let’s go.” She nodded and took the brother by the hand. They walked together until they reached the gate.


    “I will now Dn! Bye! ” Cluster ran quickly and left them.


    “You, Wace?” Dn asked the friend.


    “I have my motorcycle,” he replied.


    “Ah, be careful.” He just nodded but Diana noticed that he looked at her. Even when he was gone she couldn’t exin what she felt. Only now did she feel that way. And even when they were inside the car she couldn’t help but ask.


    ‘Did she like her brother’s friend?’

    DIANA DANE’S POV


    I’m almostte for family dinner so I walk fast. Every week there is a family dinner at the mansion so everyone should be there since we all have our own amodation. Daddy doesn’t want anyone to bete. He was strict when it came to time. Why was I stuck in traffic earlier?


    It was exactly 6 pm when I entered the mansion. 6:05 when I reached the dining area so I was in a hurry and ignored those there.


    “Sorry, I’mte.” I’m five minuteste so I need to apologize. I heard daddy sigh and order me to sit.


    “You’re not,” Dave replied, the second one. When I looked at the chair next to him where he and Dale were seated, in between Dn was still not there.


    “Ow.” I secretly smiled because it looks like daddy’s attention will shiftter to Dn and not to me.


    “Dad, shall we eat?” Daze our youngest asked who is next to me now on my right side. Our position is like this. On the head is dad, seating on her right side is mom, me, and Daze, in her left are Dave, Dn, and Dale.


    “Not, until your brother will arrive,” dad answered.


    “What time is it, maybe he hasn’t left his condo yet.” Amongst the five of us, Dn and Daze are the headaches and they are also the only two who are easy to answer to daddy.


    “I’ll call him,” I said.


    “No need, he’s here,” Dave said.


    “Yow, wazzup, Dy Familia.”


    “You’re taking too long,” Dazeined.


    “I’m sorry, Dandelion Daze, you know that your older brother is very handsome so the babes don’t want to let go,” he replied then sat down.


    “Let’s eat,” daddy said and Dn and Daze were about to get some food when Daddy spoke. “Lead the prayers, Damon.”


    “Huh?” Dn asked as he immediately lowered the spoon.


    “You’rete, so lead the prayers.” I kicked Daze when she giggled at my side. Everyone closed their eyes and we hold our hands.


    “Dear God, thank you for the food, amen,” Dn said when daddy suddenly spoke.


    “And?”


    “And I hope we’re full, amen again.”


    “Dn,” daddy scolded.


    “What’s next, Dale?” he whispered to Dale but we heard him.


    “Uhm, I hope the food will give strength and energy to our body,” Dale whispered to him.


    “Too long —- I hope the food has more energy for more happiness, amen again dear God.”


    “Dwayne Dale, lead the prayer,” daddymanded and looked badly at Dn.


    “That’s already nice.”


    “You’re really minus point in heaven,” Daze said.


    “Dear God, thank you for the food that you serve to us. We praise you and offer you this food. Please bless this food that’ll fill our empty stomachs. We prayed that this food will give us good health, and the energy that our body needs. Amen.”


    “Amen,” we at once answer.


    “How’s everything, Diane Dane?” dad started to ask when we started eating. He was just calm but there was still the authority in his voice.


    “It’s okay, dad, though I’m busy I can still manage,” I replied.


    “You should, it’s your responsibility, and you Dustine Dave? When are you going to give us a grandchild, and why didn’t you bring Lileth?”


    “She’s not feeling well, and Lileth is still not yet ready to have kids, after what happened to the first, dad.”


    “I heard a lot of negative issues, Dustine Dave, make sure that’s untrue.”


    “What issue?” Dn asked.


    “That he hurt his wife, physically.”


    “You’re stupid! You’re doing that, Dave?” I even looked at Dave because of what daddy said.


    Dave is serious amongst us. He married firstst year and also found out that Lileth was pregnant when they got married. But she lost the baby.


    “Am I that stupid to disgrace our name?” he asked Dn quietly but still calmly. “It wasn’t true, dad,” he calmly replied to daddy.


    “Make sure — and you, Damon, when do you be straight?” Dn stopped eating because of Daddy’s question and looked at mommy.


    “Am I not straight, mom?”


    “Son, what your daddy is referring to is your constant drinking, drug use, and going with a woman. As parents, we have nothing to say to you other than your bad habit.”


    “There is nothing wrong with what I am doing. I have not been aggrieved,” heined. “I didn’t hurt my neighbor.”


    “There are Damon, those girls. Don’t you think you have a sister?” mom added and Dn looked at us and Daze.


    “It wasn’t fault if you guys sleep with a man,” heined again. “It is your choice and not mine.”


    “It’s not like that, son, what we mean is —-”


    “Why wasn’t I informed that I will be the topic?” Mommy didn’t finish what she was going to say when Dn cut it off and lowered the spoon. “I thought it was a family dinner and then there were more questions for me.”


    “Dwayne Dale, have you decided on my offer yet?” Daddy asked Dale and ignored Dn. Dn winked at me and resumed eating. The madman won again.


    “Yes, dad.”


    “And?”


    “I agreed, dad.”


    “About what?” Daze asked.


    “Dwayne Dale will marry Lauren Del Fuego.”


    “What?” we asked.


    “That’s a joke, Dale? Did you agree to get married?” Dn asked.


    “Not a joke’ bro, I agreed with daddy’s decision.”


    “I thought dad, choose the lovers you want? Why you’re going to arrange a marriage for Dale?” Dn asked annoyed. As I said, only the two of them and Daze can talk to daddy.


    “I asked him, and you heard he said yes. I did not force him, it’s his choice.”


    “Don’t me daddy, my dear siblings, it’s my decision. Besides, it’s Lauren Del Fuego, beautiful, sexy, resistant in form and body.” Dale even flicked his finger.


    “Tsk, the asshole has no own decision.”


    “Your words, Dn Damon,” mommy said annoyed.


    “Sorry, mom.”


    “And you young spoiled brat, how long will you tempt Enrique Locsin?” We frowned and looked at Daze.


    “Dad.”


    “Daze, you still following Enrique?”


    Sis, do you know that since I was born I had a crush on him?”


    “Daze, isn’t Ervic always with you? Then why do you like Enrique?”


    “Long story Dale.”


    “Hey, Dandelion Daze, stop following that cowboy, or I’ll take your condo back from you.”


    “Dn!”


    “You’re flirt, you haven’t even finished school yet.”


    “And who’s to me, Dn?”


    “Why did you ask me, Dane?”


    “You really spoiled Daze. You gave all the luxury and gave everything she wanted.”


    “Youngest, to experience what we haven’t experienced,” he replied and looked at daddy.


    Dn was right. Maybe others will think that we are lucky as we grow because we came from wealthy families. Yeah, we’re lucky. Because we have food every day, we have a car when we leave, we have our own air-conditioned room, the school equipment is good, but as Dn said before, that is the obligation of our parents as their children.


    But when ites to luxury, daddy is strict. You have to earn what you wanted. Because you never know the value of money and how to earn it if you’re always leaning on someone. I remember when I was twelve I want to buy a piano. I haven’t eaten for a month at break time just to save. Then Dave, Dn, and Dale did the same. They helped me to save.


    At the age of fifteen, daddy brings us to thepany to work part-time in thepany. It’s automatic once you reach fifteen. When there is no school, we are there to see the hard work of the employees. When I worked part-time, I became a servant. A handler of things, file of papers.


    Dave is the manager’s assistant. Report typist and file also.


    Dn is a janitor. I remember back then when Dn got his first paycheck he freed us all at the restaurant and he bought mommy a bag. Mommy cried and cried then and Dn was very proud of his first sry. He also fed at the orphanage and bought gifts for his friends.


    Dale is a bookkeeper.


    Daze was the one who didn’t experience what we experienced because Dn spoiled her. When Daze was fifteen, Dn is twenty-one years old and he was already making a lot of money. He is already a member of street fighting and he has a lot of talent that can be used to earn money. He already has a house and a car and since Daze is the youngest, we apanied Dn to spoil Daze.


    “Before, I forgot, Diana Dane–”


    “Yes, dad?” I asked and put down the spoon.


    “I’ve noticed that since you and Cooper broke up you haven’t epted a lover. Your friends are already married and have children. Dustin Dave has preceded you, and when Lauren agrees they’ll even precede you. Don’t you have any ns for yourself? ”


    Cooper was my first boyfriend, we’ve been together for five years. I loved him and that was true even though I knew in myself I loved someone else. But I found out that he’s gay. So I released him but we remained friends. Though he’s in Canada now we still have contact.


    “Yeah, Dane, you’re off the calendar.”


    “There are three years yet, Dn. 1095 days yet.”


    “February has 28 only.” I stared at him for what he had said. “Ok, there’s a leap year so you have another offer. No connection.” I was just shaken because he only once got into what he was saying.


    “Dad, Mom, and siblings, I am happy, ok?”


    “Is it true Dane? I don’t think so.” Daze said. She’s five years younger than Dwayne Dale. Means she’s eight years younger than me.


    “Listen, I am happy with my career, ok?”


    “Your daddy and I only care about you, Diana Dane.”


    “Why are you forcing Dane? He’s not ready yet. Marriage is not a race.” I winked at Dn for what he said.


    “Diana isn’t getting any younger. Like you, Damon.” It was mom.


    “The church isn’t going to run. Why don’t you get married just to keep up and then you’re not ready,” he added.


    Mom and Dad, look at each other and both are shaking.


    “Me, dad, I am ready to get married to Enrique.”


    “Flirtations, I will definitely take your condo away.”


    “Dn is really overreacting. Afraid because he is a womanizer.”


    “Yes, my Dandelion, and even though I’m a womanizer, I’ll stumble when one of you and Dane are hurting by your men.”


    “Thanks, I love you.”N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    “Don’t fool me, stop chasing that Enrique.”


    “Tss,”


    “Whatever it is, I don’t care about what makes you happy. All I want you guys are to be responsible for your action and always keep in your mind, that in every action that you will do, you have a family that will get affected. In good, or in bad. You are not alone and as long as you carry DY, we will all be together in poprity, praise, and especially in shame. Understood?” Daddy’s question was authoritative.


    “Yes, dad,” we said at once and continued eating.
