The gushing sound of the wind as it passed through the trees calmed Lihua down, as she stared at the tombstone of the man who loved her with all his heart. Five years have already passed since he had gone to rest. "Thank you for loving me!" She uttered as tears rolled down on her eyes again. "I owe

As Li Wei’s team were one their way to the southern part of the City. Both Lihua and Zong Hui heard some cars stopping outside, the young man grabbed the gun that was placed on the table and pointed it in front of the door when it suddenly opened, “Mr. H! Your father is here!” One of his man who was stationed to guard outside came in and next to him was Zong Hui’s father along with him are his own men,

Lihua slowly opened her eyes when she smelled something really delicious, “Ohhh!” She groaned when she felt her whole body aching.

Zong Hui, who was sitting at the couch in their living room glanced at his parents, “And what if I did? What will you do?” He asked back the woman on the other side of the line.“Hmmm! Nothing. I just want to know whether you took her or not!”

When Li Wei reached the parking lot, one of his men hurriedly explained what had happened, "According to Miss Xu, two men, who were also dressed in black told them that Boss Jian had sent them to escort the Madam.”“Where is Jingfei right now?” Li Wei asked calmly. He calmed

Zong Hui raised his head when he felt that the students had come back from their break, he then stared at Lihua nape before deciding to go to the bathroom to make a phone call. As soon as the young man entered the bathroom he made sure that each cubicle was not occupied, he then went inside the last cubicle and dialled a number.

A year had passed since I received the letter that Alexandria handed to me during the chaotic wedding day of Oceane and Hugo. I finally got to call that man by his real name. It’s also been a year and a half since he didn’t came back from his so-called business trip. After reading the content of the letter, my whole world almost collapsed. I wanted to call him but I have no means to do so since his number was no longer available as well as is his email and social media accounts. They were all deactivated and deleted. Not even his family and close friends were able to contact him and Giovanni. The sound of the sea as the waves gone back and forth from the shore back to the ocean gave calmness to my soul as I stared at the fiery red with a tinge of yellow and orange hue sky, waiting for the sun to set and wishing that tomorrow... a bright new day... he would comeback to me.“You forgot your shawl again!” I felt a warm thick cloth hanged o

A week had already passed since Alexander went to a business trip. He was supposed to come back after three days but... not his body nor shadow have appeared. Jingfei had become worried that something might happened to him and tried to contact him but the number he was using was no longer available. She tried asking for Alexandria and his parents but none of them were able to reach him as well. Madame Heroux tried to pull some strings to ask the airport for his flight details but she only got the information of his three days flight and no further information aside from that. “You really don’t have any means to contact yor brother? It’s been a week since he left but no calls and messages or even emails come from him.” Jingfei mumbled as her eyes stayed focus on the huge flat screen.“Don’t worry about him. Alexander will comeback before Lucien and Oceane’s wedding the day after tomorrow. Maybe something had happened in

The soft mattress sunk as Alexander sat down beside Jingfei. The woman was giving him a glare while pulling the thick blanket to cover her naked body underneath. “What happened to your promise? We didn’t even finish packing your clothes.” Jingfei’s loud vocie echoed inside the man’s Alexander turned his head on the floor to see the scattered clothes of him and Jingfei. “Not that! Over there!” The woman pointed his piled clothes on top of the chair and the suitcase laying on the floor. Jingfei could feel her face burning when Alexander stared back at her with a playful look on his face. “We can just finish that later. Don’t tell me you didn’t enjoy me pouning on top of you? My back stings right now, wife.” Alexander’s roared a laugh when the woman hid herself under the blanket. “Would you please stop laughing, Alexander!” Jingfei lowered the blanket as she took a peek on Alexander wh

“Did something happened at the company?” Lucien buckled his seltbelt first before taking a glance at the woman beside him. Nymphis started the car’s engine and had a glimpse of the rearview mirror. “She just said that the investors demanded for your attendance at the meeting. I almost forgot about the meeting as well.”“Was it about the expansion of the apparel store? Or the one where I invested in a movie?”“Both! I guess? You didn’t even consult me about that movie thing.” Jingfei sneered as she drove away from the mall’s parking lot.“It was an abrupt decision. I read the proposal from your study room and just affixed my signature. Sinclaire Wise will also be one of the cast so it won’t be a problem.”“She’s not even that good so could you please stop sponsoring my cousin’s projects?” A glint of irritation could be heard from the young lady’s voice

Her eyes slightly widened as her lips parted a bit. Jingfei didn’t expect that just after two weeks since that incident had happened, she will encounter him at the jewelry store where she is choosing her engagement ring. The memories of their meeting for the first time after seven years flashed like lightning on her head. She realized that she haven’t said what she wanted to say after remembering that she just left him after he explined everything. “Darling? Are you alright?” Alexander’s deep and gentle vocie got her back to her senses. She looked up to him and smiled, “Yes, I’m alright,” she reassurely uttered before shifting her gaze back to Nymphis and the real Lucien. She stood up and plitely questioned Nymphis who was apcing towards them. “It’s been a while. What are you doing here Miss Nymphis? Did you just got here?” “Yes indeed it’s been a while, Jingfei. And oh! We we

Jingfei was buckling her seatbelt when Alexander popped inside the driver seat. He just finished conversing with one of the head chefs. As he was wearing his seatbelt, he could feel the intense stare from the woman beside him. “What is it darling?” He turne his head to look at Jingfei whose lips were a bit extended into a pout. “You should have not announced it yet darling!” She exclaimed in a low tone, refering to their engagement.“Why? Did you not like that others knew about your proposal?” “That’s the case why I don’t want them yet to know that were engage since it was me who proposed. I am n-“Alexander reached for the woman’s hand when he saw her worried expression. “You don’t have to worry that you... a woman proposed to me. Yes we’ve grew up and knew that it is the man who asks the woman’s hand for marriage but I don’t care what would others say about y

EmilianaI looked at Sebastian, puzzled and unamused at his words. "W-what are you talking about?" I stammered. My eyes were looking at his face attentively, searching for something, like a sudden smile would find its place in his lips.But no… what I anticipated did not come. He was staring at me, eyes full of seriousness and lips pursed thinly.I scoffed and showed a half smile. Not taking what he said seriously. "Tell me you're joking, Sebastian." I muttered again without stammering. And I want to pat myself on the back for showing how calm I am even though inside my head feels so chaotic with questions I am not sure if I am able to say to him.The man in front of me shook his head. "I wish I am… but I'm not, Emiliana. All these years I have been with you, I know you are my sister. The father I have been with during my stay in the Vergara mansion is not my real father. He was my mother's younger brother. I—"I raise my hand to shush him. I needed time to let his information sink i

EmilianaFollowing Sebastian exit from the conference room, I am now seated on the chair he had occupied earlier. Facing Nicholas who watches my every move with a knitted brow and thinned-line lips.The room was well lit enough that I could not miss a single detail on his mouth gape, his tongue moving as he licked and wetted his lower lip. Feeling the shame of checking him out, I briefly lowered my gaze on my hands then moved them back to his face.“I won’t go around the bush since you have an idea why I wanted to meet with you. I heard from Valentino that you wanted to appoint me as your architect for the house that you’re planning to build in the Philippines.” I started. I stare at him as he nods his head, agreeing to what I’m saying.“That’s correct! And I presume that you have already made your decision.” Swirling the pen on his hand, he spoke with anticipation and confidence.I shake my head. “I have not yet made my decision. I wanted to ask you first on why you wanted it to be m

EmilianaI felt my world got slower than it currently is when I turned to face the person who called me by the nickname that I haven't heard since I left the Philippines."You!" was the word that left my mouth as I gape while looking at a fine young man, dressed neatly in a well-ironed three piece black suit.He has aged quite a bit since the last time I saw him. He is more mature looking with a defined facial feature. His body had the traces of someone who visits the gym daily."Liana!" He called again and before I could even show another reaction, he was already striding towards me, fast paced.In a swift, I was locked in his arms, tightly. "Liana. Oh God! I thought… I thought I would never see you again." He mumbled with a muffled tone as he buried his face on my neck."S-sebastian!" I choked, finally able to say his name out loud. I didn’t know what to do. If I am going to hug him back or if I will cry. This unexpected reunion is taking my strength away from me, making my senses go

EmilianaOr maybe I have feelings for him?I quickly shake my head at the thought that randomly evades my mind. Impossible. It's not that long since we met each other again. How could I possibly develop such feelings in a short period of time?In order not to think of any useless and crazy thoughts again, I went back to focusing my attention on the cartoon I am watching. My ice cream had slowly melted. I stayed for another ten minutes before I decided to end the night.The following morning, I woke up at exactly 7 sharp. Like my daily routine, I started my day tidying my bed and did a little stretching to awaken my muscles and joints.I'm still 23 yet I feel like an old lady. With a back pain that sometimes annoys the hell out of me.I snatched my phone from the bedside table and dialed Maximillian’s number. It did not take a minute before the call was answered.“Good Morning, Miss Vergara.” She started the moment our call connected. Her voice sounds a bit hoarse. A proof that she is s

Emiliana “What did you and Nicholas talk about? I heard from your secretary that you were yelling inside your office,” I started, breaking the noises coming from our utensils. Valentino and I are having our dinner right now. A silent dinner, if I may say. He had not said a word since we saw each other after lunch break. And when I asked where Nico is, he simply answered me with a shrug. I lowered down my utensils. Leaned my back on the chair’s back rest and crossed both arms as I watch my cousin with curious gaze. “Van? What’s wrong with you? You usually don’t keep your mouth shut when we are having dinner?” I uttered again, trying to fish out some information from him. But my dear cousin only stared at me. His eyes were expressing mixed emotions that I cannot pinpoint. His stare was only brief as he lowered his head down. Playing with the roasted shrimp on his barely touched food. Using his fork, I followed how he stabs the poor viand. Now that’s rare to see. This mannerism of hi

Nicholas “Are you still going to chase after her even after knowing that you don’t stand a chance? Emiliana is still stuck on that day. She may have been doing well but she obviously had built a wall for herself.” I heard my cousin, Scott, said. "I am even surprised that you were able to take her on a date. And have your way on her. I've heard that Ems don't usually entertain men and if she does, they couldn't even take her to a date." he added, quite amuse. I had my head lowered as I played with the bottle of beer, swirling it around. I know well what Scott said. She’s just putting up with me. With my advance and when she had enough and overwhelmed by it, she wanted out. “I am thankful for her that she gave me a chance to be able to freely touch her hand, take her on a small date. And if you asks me if I will chase her, then my reply to you is yes I will. I will still chase her. I will wait for her to completely heal. I will be the man who will be able to free her from the wall she
