Brimming with joy as the night turns day 

I was hoping for a joyful life 

But the morning changed my life 

And I found you standing by the restroom door 

Then we were standing side by side. 

As I said the most foolish words. 

And you gave me one side eye… 

But you made me feel whole again. 

For you I would give the world 

As my heart thumps just for you….. 

Cause the way you made me feel, 

I just can’t deny… 

And from there, we knew what we want 

We found love while defying the odds 

We found in the weirdest place 

We found love in the cutest way…. 

And you gave me the best gift in him. 

Although he was a hard nut to crack 

And I’m glad It was a success 

We found love while defying the odds 

We found in the weirdest place 

We found love in the cutest way… 

And you gave me the best gift in V. 

I love you, I’ve said that a lot 

You’re my world, I’ve said that a lot 

I found you when I didn’t know you exist 

You accept me and weren’t angry 

A child like you is all we ask for 

But I know you’re a hard nut crack. 

We found love while defying the odds. 

We found in the weirdest place 

We found love in the cutest way…. 

And you gave me the best gift in V… 

I love you both, I swear 

And I’m willing to die for you. 

No matter what the world throws us 

I’ll be strong to bear it all. 

We found love while defying the odds. 

We found in the weirdest place 

We found love in the cutest way… 

And you gave me the best gift in V…

A smile escaped Maverick’s lips as he watched his mesmerizing wife sing such a joyous song, composed for him and their song. What a bold move to indirectly tell the world she was married and has a son. 

Valen was over the moon. He was a step away from flying onto the stage to join the dance with his mother. He was dissatisfied before but now, he’s extremely happy and willing to allow his mother to achieve her dreams. 

Rex on the other hand was sulking. He pinched Celestine’s hand that was beside him and turned to look at her. However, seeing she wasn’t looking at him to prevent unnecessary gossip, he pulled out his phone and started to type furiously. 

“You’ve never composed a song for me before. My sister–in–law has always been biased. She didn’t even add me to the song. So unfair. Am I not her brother–in–law?‘ he pouted. 2 

Because Celestine didn’t check her message, Rex’s face became gloomy. 

The people couldn’t get enough of Jeslyn’s song. Her voice might not be as good as VJ Cute, but her 

music was ten times better and the people loved the dance moves. 

Even the haters had nothing to say this time. They just stayed silent as thousands of Jeslyn fans took the comment section with praises and admiration. 

A while later, the dancers left and Jeslyn got ready for another song.

“The next song is dedicated to those whose families had betrayed and lost hope. I want to tell you that you aren’t alone. Someone understands you, I understand you. Even though I might not have…” she paused, leaving people in suspense and also making some believe that she was scared to 

continue. 

“Anyway, here’s the song.”

Spirit leads me to where I am today 

Even when I thought I was lost in that dark place… 

Your heart reached out to me 

You filled me with your bright light 

And held me through my dark path 

I know you are up there 

I know you see me 

I know you hear me 

And I know you feel me 

Your creature bit me so hard 

And tore my flesh apart 

Then laughed at how pure I was 

Was it my fault that I was blind 

Was it my fault that I loved whole 

Was it my fault that I thought they were family 

Lord, you said to uphold kinship ties 

But does that apply to the snakes in the family 

Does that apply when there’s deception 

It hurt, Lord it hurts 

Please place my grandfather under your warmth 

Please place my mother under your protection Please place my grandma under your care 

And those that died for me… 

To be free 

To believe in the lie called a family
