Khlea's point of viewAllison and I talked a while ago. She took me here to the place where she often hangs out."I was wondering where you were going to take me. I'm so disappointed that it's just right here on the rooftop of the headquarters where you will take me." I took a beer can and opened it.It's not that I'm complaining, but I hoped that she would take me to another place. The sun has almost set, so the view from here is also beautiful.Allison looked at me. "Why? Did you expect me to take you to a good place?"I frowned at her. "I didn't expect it, duh!"Allison laughed. "You kind of raise your hope, right? Maybe you're forgetting. We're not dating yet."I looked at her. "No matter where you drag me, I'll go with you. I just don't expect it here on the rooftop.""Why? It's beautiful here. There's nothing bad about it. I mean, look at the view. Sunset, and then later, when it's dark, we can see the city lights.""Yes. I didn't say anything that this place is not nice." I bre
Nishane's Point Of View I HAVE recovered fully from my cesarean section after months. Next week, Aurora Solene will turn a quarter of a year old, and we'll celebrate. However, now that we are in the hospital, I am a little bit worried about something. Our adorable baby Aurora was found to have the disease meningitis. Despite the fact that it has been three days since we initially arrived at the hospital, I genuinely have no concept about that and am unable to mentally digest it. Yes, it has been three days, and we are forced to keep her in this room.We didn't injure her in any way, yet it happened unexpectedly. I used to carry her beside the swimming pool. We simply carry out motherly duties. Usually when I sang a song for her, she grinned a lot. She occasionally even joins in on my song. Because she was still unable to talk, even she was unaware of the lyrics. Only her chirps are audible.Just your typical beautiful day. Nothing extraordinary or remarkable. For us, it was s
Khlea's point of viewI woke up early, so I decided to get dressed in exercise clothes. The months passed quickly. And in the months that have passed, I can say that Allison and I are doing okay. She was just a bit busy because she was opening a business.My phone rang, so I answered it. "Yes, Allison?""Let's have breakfast," she said on the other line."Oh, I'm going downstairs. I'll go to the gym after eating.""Okay. I'll wait for you downstairs."I ended the call and quickly grabbed a hand towel. I can't help but smile. One of the changes I've noticed in Allison is that she always prepares food for the two of us when we have a chance to be together, like today.When I got to the dining area, the food was ready. Allison pours coffee into the cup. She smiled when she saw me."It's good to go downstairs. Coffee and breakfast are ready!" she said.I sat in the empty chair. "Wow! What you prepared is my favorite again.""Of course. Everything is for you."I smiled. "How is your busine
Khlea's point of viewOur way to the location where Allison's shooting range is also took several hours. I was almost in awe because the place she chose was beautiful.Wide and many trees around. It's also right that it's not sunny today, so the sunstroke doesn't hurt the skin that much."Do you think it's okay that we left Seven at headquarters?" I asked Allison as we walked in."You've been asking that for a while now. You know that he can take care of himself. Another thing is that he can't stay at the headquarters for a long time because he can't be without Nishane, especially now.""Why?""Because their baby Clifford is not doing well."Because of that, I suddenly felt sad. "What do you mean?""Their baby is not okay. I'm not asking. That's all I know.""Poor Nishane." That's all I said. Suddenly, I wanted to visit it, but I couldn't. The child's situation is even more dangerous, Mr. Tuazon.Allison and I went for a walk. She had staff here and congratulated us both. I want to la
Nishane's Point of View THE more we were in the hospital, the worsening of my daughter's condition. I am aware of what the physicians are doing to help Aurora Solene recover and have seen it firsthand. I observe how they handle my daughter's care. Clifford engaged a licensed physician in the hopes that my daughter might recover in this way. just not yet.Despite the fact that I am losing hope, I did not want to give up. If I gave up on my child and lost hope, I feel like I would be a poor mother. But I'm at a point where I simply can't stop, and I can see that rather than feeling better, my daughter's condition is worse.When she used to have three seizures, she may now have five or six. And for a three-month-old child, it is not typical.I only prayed, knelt, and pleaded with God. My daughter's life was not in my hands, and I fear that I will lose her. I would give my life to have her in it. But I am aware that I am not God and cannot act in that way.All I can do is pray for a m
Khlea's point of viewI couldn't believe what I heard Allison tell me. I want to cry because I feel sorry for Clifford and Nishane's baby. It was still a baby, but it was taken from them immediately.I felt Allison's hand on my shoulder. I looked at her. Although she gave me a smile, I could see in her eyes the extreme pity she felt for our friend.We were here at headquarters eating when we received bad news from The 8. Silence enveloped the entire dining area.I drank water because I felt like the food I swallowed was stuck in my throat. I took a deep breath."How is Clifford?" I asked."I'm sure he's not okay now. He and Nishane."I didn't answer. I know, as a parent, that what happened was very painful. Even though I never experienced that, I understand the couple very well."Finish what you're eating.""Are you done eating?" I asked while looking at her plate, which was not nearly reduced yet."I'm leaving.""Where are you going?""I'm going to see Clifford.""I'll go with you."
Nishane's Point of View "WITH sincere sympathy for you and your family.""My dearest woman, I'm so sorry for your loss.""You had a lot to deal with, but you handled it well, and we are so proud of you.""Our sunshine, we adore you, and we will wait for you to shine once more."That's what I overhear my supporters saying as I view the video of their condolences. One of my closest friends in show business did it in an effort to cheer me up. Many people expressed their sympathies, but none of them were able to make me feel better.Even the Aces, Seven and The8 who were my personal bodyguards and the two women, Khlea and Allison, are also here. They cheered me up but I really couldn't do it. My Aurora has been lying down with a cold coffin for a few days. They've been talking to me for a few days but I'm just not myself. To this day I still cannot accept the loss of my only daughter. Which mother will accept the death of her child immediately?Many went. My child's hill was open for
Nishane's Point of ViewI can claim that losing my daughter has affected my life after being without her for a few days. I can no longer even drink water; before, I could consume even a bite of a spoon. I'm unable to eat any more. Even sleeping is now beyond me. I did nothing except watch Aurora Solene's equipment in her room. from beds, chairs, and mattresses to furniture, decorations, appliances, and mosquito nets. This has been my practice for days.I did not enjoy it. Simply put, I am at a loss for what to do now that my daughter has left.I'm back in my daughter's room right now. Never left this place. I no longer even take baths. I no longer fix myself. I can always be found smelling my daughter's clothes in her room. Particularly, her unwashed clothing. Since I can still smell her through it. She still seems to be standing next to me. I still miss her more, though.Because of what I'm doing, Clifford is already finding it difficult to interact with me. He was quite understandin
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
