Khlea’s Point of ViewThe sympathizers said goodbye to Cindy and me one by one. Cindy has been buried and there are only a few of us left in the cemetery. I don't know most of them, although some sympathizers are Cindy's friends. I didn't meet her other friends because I avoid socializing.Next to me was Allison, who had been quietly by my side and supporting me. I can feel her support for me, especially earlier when I cried a lot. Maybe if he is not by my side, only two things can happen to me. I will not cry and pretend not to be affected or cry until I pass out. Fortunately, even if I cried earlier, it was only a little."Do you want some water?" Allison asked me.I nodded and looked at Cindy's grave again. I noticed Candy was standing next to me, so I faced her. “Candy…”"It's a good thing your friend was with you earlier. I didn't go with you because I didn't know how to calm myself, either.""It's OK. All of us had no strength before. It's great and we have friends that we have
Nishane's Point of View I HAVEN'T been throwing up as frequently in the past few months. I am relieved to have moved past that point. Because I can now solely think about caring for the developing child inside my belly, my life has gotten easier.I came to terms with the fact that Clifford's child was inside of me. But since Clifford prefers to live a quiet life, which I do respect, we still have no plans to make this information public. I'm also reluctant to keep this a secret since I don't want to hear nasty things from individuals who respect me. They might say anything that could hurt me or my child, and I don't want that to happen..There are those poisonous supporters who only want to watch me perform and don't care if I have a happy family or a fulfilling existence. Although some individuals are selfish, others genuinely want to see me happy in every way. They are so enamored with me that they fail to realize that I am only human. that I also need a break since I'm exhauste
Khlea's Point of View "Come with me," Allison said when I opened the door of my unit. She just walked past me, and I was looking at her back in wonder. I closed the door and followed her. "Where are we going?" I asked. "I'm just looking for something." She sat on the sofa. "Is it really necessary to come with you?" I even taught myself. I don't remember that the Aces have a schedule today. She also had no prior notice; that's why I was so surprised. "Yes. Actually, you can refuse, but I thought you shouldn't be allowed in case you don't want to join me." I raised an eyebrow as I crossed my arms over my chest. "Wow! So I don't have a choice, Allison." I ended up on the opposite side of the sofa she was sitting on. "I'll take you with me so you can relax. So you can wind down. It's not like you're just here in your unit. And since we don't have a schedule with Seven and The8. "Where are we going?" "Hmm. I'm looking for someone." "Who is it?" She didn't answer but just looked
Khlea's POV: "Are you sure you didn't forget anything?" Allison asked me when we boarded the taxi that would take us to the airport. "Yes! So maybe you can tell me where we're going, right?" "In Isla Verde." "Isla Verde? Where is that?" I asked her. I have never heard of that island, which is why I was wondering where it was. "Even if I tell you, you still don't know where it is." The way she looks at me is the type she can't believe. "I'm asking properly because I really don't know. Maybe you can tell me who we should go there with?" I asked again. "Why do you have so many questions? You can stop asking me because you are making noise," Allison said calmly as she looked at the phone in her hand. "It's because I'm curious!" I said. I looked out the window while snorting. This girl is so annoying today. She doesn't seem to be in the mood to talk, even with me. I heard her sigh. "The best thing is to close your eyes first. We're still quite far from the airport." I ignored he
Nishane's Point of View BECAUSE of what I saw, I'm not sure what to think. Due to the fact that I have no right, I'm not even sure if I should think about the two of them. Even though we are legally married to each other, we have no rights toward one another. He truly feels the same as we do—we don't love each other. He doesn't care for me. We obviously don't care for each other's businesses, so he doesn't care about my reaction.As soon as he became aware of my presence, I could tell his eyes were startled. I'm not sure why he behaved that way. I shouldn't be affecting him because I'm not with him. He looked at me and at Seven alternately.In a furious tone, Seven asked his pal Clifford, "What hell on earth, dude?"I was silent throughout. I kept quiet.I inhaled vigorously. With these three people nearby, I am unable to breathe. I immediately gave up on them as a result.I was surprised when Clifford called me, "Nishane!"However, I didn't pay him any attention. I avoided his ga
Nishane's Point of View "PLEASE leave me alone! I don't have time to listen to your falsehoods!'Clifford attempted to strike up a discussion with me, and I responded angrily. Am I crazy? Yes. If he believes the same way I do, I have every right to be angry. He shouldn't question my response because my emotions are real. I shouldn't dismiss my earlier emotions in order to demonstrate that I am unaffected. I am impacted, and as the wife, I have a right to be impacted. If I stop feeling anything for Clifford, I won't be influenced any longer. However, I have. So, this is how I am. Is it sinful? No.While he is currently standing in front of me, I have stopped crying. When I think back to their kissing incident, I used to feel regret and pain, but now all I feel is disappointment in Clifford.Did I have expectations of him before, which is why I am now disappointed? Yes. I believed that we would successfully work out our marriage. so that everything would not come to naught even i
Khlea's Point of ViewI don't know how long I slept after Allison and I got to Isla Verde. It's dark outside. The whole room Allison and I were staying in was quiet. She wasn't here either; that's why I got up slowly."Where is Allison?" I asked myself. My stomach rumbled because I hadn't eaten anything because I fell asleep right away earlier.I took my phone from the nightstand and dialed Allison's number. It took four more rings before she answered my call."You're awake," Allison said to me immediately."Yes. Where are you?""Let me guess. You're hungry, aren't you?""Yes." I stood up and slightly stretched my bones. "I'll take a shower before you pick me up.""I'll just text you where you're taking me. I'm just doing something."I was about to speak, but I didn't expect Allison to hang up. I was slightly surprised because of what she did to me, and I even looked at the phone screen."What's wrong with her?" I asked. I just shook my head.Instead of paying attention to Allison, I
Nishane's Point of View OVER THE next days, weeks, and months, my relationship with Clifford got better. I pardoned him for his mistake after learning that Clifford was speaking the truth and that only Vanessa had flirted with and kissed my husband. Employees reassured me because they represent Clifford's point of view. The CCTV camera has evidence, including recordings, that I considered to be the strongest. I saw on the video that Vanessa had tried to seduce my husband before. She repeatedly tried that, but the only time she was successful was that one. The fact that she was successful on the day I had to visit the company is a coincidence. Fortunately, though, I had the advantage.She did succeed in kissing my husband, but she was unable to win him back.Because there are still workers, Vanessa is still employed by the business and cannot be fired. Even though I don't want her working for the company, we are powerless to fire her.Why? Clifford cannot fire Vanessa from his
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
