Khlea’s Point of ViewSince Allison and I were bored that day and we had nothing to do at the headquarters, we both thought of going to the mall to have fun. Actually, I'm the only one who likes it because she really doesn't want it. She was only forced because I was not with her. Fortunately, I forced her to join me."What are you going to buy here? You can just order online, isn't it?" Allison asked me as we walked inside the boutique."You know I'm not a fan of online shopping, right? I prefer this way that I can see the items first before buying. You know what, instead of complaining about that, why don't you just look around. Maybe you'll see something you want to buy, right?"She didn't answer me. She just looked at me like what I said was useless. Because I know Allison, I just let her go. I can't complain because I just forced her to accompany me.We were already in our dresses when I heard someone call me. I turned and saw who it was. It's Cindy. I quickly looked at her entir
Nishane's Point of View I stayed by Clifford's side for several months. Even if he doesn't need me, I never leave his side. I just keep staring at him and decide to work with them. He sometimes brings me along to board meetings. Along with that, he introduced me to the board members as his wife. He made sure that the details that are about both of us got to the investors as well. And I'm incredibly proud of who I am.Our marriage is getting stronger every day. I'm confident that we simply do not love one another. Because we occasionally spend quality time together, Clifford also starts to act romantically. Just once, please. It occurs around once a month.Being the CEO kept him busy than his workers members. He accomplishes duties that no one else can. Additionally, he cannot rely on the workers he employs. This is tripled if the labor of the employees is doubled. And I recognize that.He still finds a way for us to spend quality time together despite the fact that he is frequ
Khlea’s Point of ViewI just closed my eyes as I looked at Cindy. She is currently undergoing chemotherapy, and I went with her because I don't have much to do. In the past months, we have remained silent, Mr. Tuazon, but even so, we are still not sure. Mr. Tuazon is a bad person, and there is a tendency for him to act in the next few days or weeks. We Aces must be alert."Khlea," Cindy's sister Candy called me.I looked at her, and my gaze went to the water she was holding. I accepted that. "Thank you, Candy.""Drink some water first. Do you want to eat? I brought some food because Mommy cooked."I shook my head. "I'm fine here in the water."Since Cindy and I have been in a long relationship, her family is there no matter what. Now we are both looking at Cindy as she undergoes her chemotherapy in the room. The window there is glass, so we can see her from where Candy and I are. I looked at her for a moment, and I immediately read in her eyes that she felt sorry for her sister."Who
Nishane's Point of View "WHAT happened to you, Nishane?" When I overheard Seven ask me that, I inhaled deeply. He helped me when I abruptly lost my balance. I don't know what caused it, but I became abruptly lightheaded, which caused my knees to weaken and caused me to lose my balance.I blinked. "Yes, I'm fine. I'm just very lightheaded."I shook my head when Seven said, "Do you want me to call Boss Cliff?" He was referring to Clifford."No, he's working. Don't worry; I'm alright. Maybe I simply needed more sleep."And that's factual. Perhaps that explains why I frequently have vertigo. We haven't slept well in a few days due to the impending event that will take place in the large hall within the business. Business entrepreneurs and investors are invited to that event. This kind of event is held once a year to attract a lot of investors for Clifford's business and that of other business owners.I assist in organizing, while it is not necessary. This is the first time I've seen
Khlea’s Point of ViewI was getting out of my car when I heard Allison speak. I don't know where she came from but she was also in the parking area. She was leaning on her motorcycle and crossed her arms across her chest. Her face was serious.I smiled. "There you are. I didn't notice you." I approached her slowly. It looks like she's not in a good mood because Allison's forehead is slightly wrinkled."How is your ex-girlfriend?" she asked when I got close to her.I was surprised by her question because she is not that kind of person. Usually she doesn't care about the people around her. But even so I still barely smiled. "She's doing fine... I guess. How come the treatment she is doing is okay."She raised an eyebrow. "That's why I rarely see you here at the headquarters because you're too busy with Cindy.""Ah, yes." I breathed deeply. "It's funny to think about it, but I'm one of those who help to motivate her to heal.""Really? Are you now a Doctor?"I shook my head. "I'm not. Wha
Khlea’s Point of ViewWhile I was getting dressed in my unit, I didn’t know what Allison and I were going to talk about. I have no idea. If it’s about me being busy with Cindy and not having time for aces, I will really fight and insist that it’s not true. Clifford knows that I have other business and when they need me, I go right away.I don’t know where Allison is coming from. Yes, I don’t have time to be with Aces, but I don’t forget my obligation as Aces. I just don’t get along with them on their schedules, which is not important.I took a deep breath as I looked in front of the mirror. I only put on light makeup so that I don’t look too pale. I can’t even count on my fingers how many times I breathed. I have so many thoughts. Why is Allison like that to me now? Am I guilty? If there is, what is it? Because I don’t remember anything.I also admit that I was sulking because I felt very irresponsible because of what she was saying to me earlier. I questioned my Ace status because of
Nishane's Point of View "WHAT the hell are you telling right now?!" My surprise. My body feels chilly throughout. My future behavior is unknown. With what Clifford stated, I was unable to think clearly. I was shaking from head to toe. I have the impression that someone has stolen my soul.'Clifford, what are you saying?'It felt as though something was in my throat, blocking the words, "Am I pregnant?" Speaking up and posing that question was challenging for me.Do you think that's the cause of my constant vertigo? Do I actually feel nauseous because of that?I mistakenly believed that my lack of sleep was to blame. I initially believed it to be a result of my lack of sleep. My pregnancy came at a moment that I never anticipated.Every time something between the two of us occurs, I am aware of Clifford's caution. Why, therefore, did this occur? Why was that thing made?Why now when my life is about to take so many unexpected turns that I can no longer handle them? What should my r
Nishane's Point of View "WIFE! Nishane! Hey! What's wrong?" Prior to fully closing the bedroom door, I heard Clifford call. He annoys me so much. He ought to be aware of that, I hope. But even if he doesn't, I hope he will soon realize how annoying he is.The bedroom door finally opened and shut after some time. It was evidence that Clifford had come in. I stretched out on the plush bed, took a deep breath, and wrapped a blanket around me.Clifford had sat there, I could tell because I felt the bed sink into the room behind me."Hey, wife. Are you mad at me? What did I do wrong?" He softly enquired. It appeared to be patient and quiet. It is not like earlier when he posed straightforward and occasionally even serious inquiries as if he were not in the mood.The smoothness of his voice has changed since then, though. When I'm pregnant, is that really how it is? Is he really so concerned about my feelings?I resembled a large tree that had just fallen. His kind voice made me vulner
CHAPTER 169—Give InKhlea’s Point of ViewI JUST STARED in front of the laptop monitor as I tried to get what I learned today into my mind. It's confirmed! The flashdrive with the keychain that I found inside Luna's drawer does belong to La Tigresa. But Seven hasn't replied yet whether that's what I really meant.I don't understand how I should feel now. Should I be happy because somehow, I have found something that I really want to target in Luna. Or sad because it wasn't enough? I'm confused.I'm here now in my condo. I don't know how to feel right now. It's not that I'm defending Luna but what if Luna had nothing to do with the La Tigresa transaction? Because there is a part of my heart that is protesting and seems to be telling me that Luna doesn't know anything. But I also know that it is impossible that Luna knows nothing about her father's business.I can no longer understand myself. Back then, I really wanted to succeed in my mission, but now, I just catch myself laughing and
CHAPTER 168—Gun & FlashdriveKhlea’s Point of ViewI felt a hand on my shoulder causing me to look back and see who it was. “Seven!”“Hmm. Does it look nice?” he asked as if he read my mind.I faced here. "Why did you leave Allison? That might be necessary,” I said."Don't overact. He fell asleep because of the medicine that was injected into him." He bowed and thought for a moment. When he looked at me, he immediately grinned. "I know what you are thinking, Khlea.""What are you saying?""The way you look at Luna Aballos, there seems to be something different.""Come on, Seven. Even you?""I have trust in you. We. But I hope you don't destroy it." Because of the way it was pointed, it was as if someone had kicked my chest. A part of my heart seems to have been hit by his words.I didn't move. It's like even I don't know what to do anymore. What I do know is that what is happening to me is still part of the plan. I smiled at Seven. "Don't worry because I know what I'm doing.""I hope
CHAPTER 167—Allison's wordsKhlea’s Point of ViewI know that Allison is very angry with me. He is not alone because I feel the same way about it. I also feel bad that we ended up like that. I didn't expect that we would exchange words like that and he looked like he didn't trust me.I know what I'm doing and I don't deviate from the plan. If he notices that I'm getting close to Luna, he should be happy because I'm starting to fall in love with that one. I don't understand why we still have to get into an argument because of his interference in what I'm doing.I'm not young and we're not even in a relationship to explain to myself why I didn't come home. He didn't even know that I had a disease.I was stunned for a while while my car stopped because the traffic light was still red. 'It's up to Allison. It's his fault why I got annoyed with him.' I took a deep breath before waking up when I heard a car horn behind me.I shook my head to clear myself and take my mind off what happened o
CHAPTER 165—Limitation and Boundaries Khlea’s Point of ViewLUNA was carrying two bottles of ladies drink while walking near where I was. When she got close, she reached for one of mine. She sat next to me. We are now on the roof top and can freely look at the vast sky full of stars. The wind that hits our skin is also cold so it is inevitable that I feel cold."Are you cold?"I nodded. “Yes. Why did we go here?""It's better that we're here. I also miss star gazing," she said as she looked at the bottle she was holding.That is also what I did. I also looked at the sky then took a deep breath. I have to admit that I feel better because earlier, I was stressed with Allison. I just tried to accept our answer in my mind. It's up to me if it makes me angry. I'll just talk about it tomorrow when I get home and we meet at headquarters."So what did your friend say? Has it calmed down?” Luna asked when she looked back at me.I shook my head. "Not yet. I'll just talk to her tomorrow when I
CHAPTER 165—Her Real FeelingsNishane’s Point of View"WHAT do you think Olive wants to happen? I feel that she is just making a way to get her Clifford's. I mean, yes. Maybe she really likes Clifford, but I hope she doesn't feel sorry for you. You and Clifford no longer have a relationship. It's been a long time since you two broke up, so if she wants a man who was connected to you then, don't feel sorry for yourself," said Mirae.I told her about what Clifford said this morning. "For me, she is a very frustrated woman. Didn't she think she was beautiful? Rich. Many people will like her. Why does she still want Clifford, right?" Because I'm annoyed. Why Clifford?"Hey!" Mirae called me so I looked at her. "Why do you say that you don't want Clifford to be with her?""Huh? That's not what I meant. I'm not saying anything like that. My only point is, with so many men in the world, why Clifford?""There's nothing we can do if Clifford really wants it, okay? Just you, let her. My point
CHAPTER 164—Talk to him againNishane's Point of ViewI could NOT sleep at night because Clifford was still gone. He left a while ago and left The8 sleeping in the guest room. I shouldn't have waited for him but I was worried so I waited for him to come back to my house. Their luggage is still here. He said he was going to talk to someone but still nothing until I fell asleep for a while.It was four o'clock in the morning when I heard the knock so I got up and went to the door to open it. I immediately smelled the alcohol so I had the idea that Clifford had been drinking. I closed my eyes for a while to condition myself.I rubbed my eyes. The light was off in the entire living room but because of the small lampshade with a light bulb, that was the only light that provided light to the four corners of the house. I can see the bulk of Clifford's body."Have you eaten? I guess you've been drinking?""Yeah. I'm sorry if I disturbed you. Because I remembered, The8 and I's stuff is here. I
CHAPTER 163—Press Conference Nishane's Point of ViewMY heart was filled with anger because the fake news created by Olive spread immediately. I didn't think that her attitude was so bad that she could ruin my business just because she was jealous of me. I can't accept that the business that we worked hard for as friends was just ruined because of her story.I clenched my palms as I looked at the CCTV footage where it was obvious how the drinks ordered by the customers were being made throughout the day. We have experienced CCTV, police and reporters in front of us because we need to clear the name of my business. I was so angry that I had the police pick up Olive from the shop. I thought I was going to have a heart attack because I felt my neck thicken with anger."As you can see in the full video from the CCTV footage, around 8:15 to 9 o'clock at night it is obvious how the drinks are made. Olive didn't come to my coffee shop either and we are looking for the person she said bought
CHAPTER 162—Forgetting Something AgainKhlea's Point of ViewAT FIRST I was very surprised but when I saw Luna's sweet lips that seemed to be teasing me, I felt so sleepy that my eyelids closed on their own.I don't know about such things but my lips spontaneously responded to her kiss. Luna's way of kissing was intoxicating. Slowly and seemingly savoring every moment our lips touch. Luna moved and moved closer to me. I didn't object but I responded to her kiss.Luna's lips moved away from mine so I opened my eyes. Our bodies are still touching today. Luna looked at my face again and brought her lips to my forehead. It was as if a warm palm caressed my heart because of what she did. I closed my eyes. My hands are clinging to her arms."Thank you for coming with me," she said, then hugged me.I'm not sure if the heartbeat I feel and hear is mine. It's like the strength of that.I just smiled at her as she walked away from me. "You're always welcome, Miss Luna," I said. "It's just work
CHAPTER 161—She Kissed HerKhlea's Point if View"ARE you excited yet?" Luna asked me when we got dressed. When we woke up, she told me to get dressed because we had somewhere to go. She didn't say where so I really have no idea.“A bit. You don't want to tell me where we're going." She just smiled at me so I just let her. Our travel time was a few minutes before we got out of the car.I WAS amazed as my eyes looked at the entirety of the yacht that Luna and I climbed on. Luna held my hand because I was a little dizzy from the waves of the sea. There are acquaintances congratulating her. I don't know any of them. Nothing familiar to me.But in the way they dress, complexions will show the luxury of life. There were also male guests who were also talking to Luna and focused their attention on me.I just smiled and tried to hide the nervousness I felt. When a server came by to serve drinks, I immediately grabbed a goblet of golden liquid.Luna and I looked at each other. He frowned when
