Khlea's point of viewThe eight and seven grinned when they saw Allison and me in the kitchen cooking for the four of us for dinner. The eight looked at me teasingly. They sat on the chairs while I cut. Allison was in front of the stove."It's good and you two are okay. Let's guess who made the deal. Hmm…" The8 seemed to be thinking and then looked at me. "Isn't it you?"I looked at him badly. "Excuse me! I didn't make the arrangements!""What!?" The eight looked at Allison, who just shrugged. I didn't, and I told you never to go soft on Khlea!"Because I was surprised by what he said, I immediately took some pieces of onion and garlic and threw them at him."Hey! It stinks!" He complained while looking at me."Why are you teaching Allison like that? You should be fixing us up.""Khlea, I want you two to get along, but admit it, you are also wrong."I raised an eyebrow. "What? Get ready!""It's true, Khlea. Look, don't think I'm siding with Allison, right? But you're both guilty. You
CHAPTER 82 — Asking a FavorKhlea's point of viewEverywhere Allison and I went that night If we hadn't realized that it was morning, we wouldn't have decided to go home.At first, I really didn't want to go home, so I told her we should just stay at the hotel because she might be tired from driving. But Allison insisted that she wanted to go home and that it was okay.I was the only one who slept during the flight. I woke up when she gently patted my arm. When I opened my eyes, I noticed that we were already at the headquarters, and it was quite bright.She smiled at me. "Let's go to our unit to rest there.""Okay." I immediately moved to get our things.We got out of the car together. I noticed that Allison yawned. I approached him and held her arm. She still surprised me a little."Just sleep in your unit, huh?" I told her."Yes. You too. When you need something, just call me.""Okay."We entered the elevator together. When I got to my unit, I immediately changed my clothes and laid
Allison's point of viewEvery drop of rain outside is loud. I could see the cars and the people getting soaked by the rain. Seven told me that I would make some money today at the coffee shop.I picked up my cup of black-brewed coffee and took a sip. Its warmth quickly gave me a comfortable feeling. I leaned back in the chair and closed my eyes tightly.I closed my eyes because I was really sleepy.I opened my eyes and adjusted my seat. I pinched the tip of my thumb to wake me up.I don't know who Seven is talking about, but she sent a picture. According to my friend, I need to talk about us now because we have a new transaction. This is really who you are talking to, but Clifford did somethingI looked at the watch I was wearing and saw that it was two o'clock in the morning. I tried to call Khlea, but she is not answering my call. Perhaps it has been sleeping until now.I just stood up to choose food to buy for her later. I chose strawberry chocolate cake.I'm just now thinking abou
Clifford's Point of View "DO YOU know what happened to Nishane?"Seven asked me a question, which astounded me. Even I am unable to respond to such query. Even now, I don't know how my wife is doing. All I know is that she is still suffering the loss of our kid, therefore I can't really communicate with her right now. I would have gone with her if I could. But for now, the company needs me, so that's not an option. Despite the fact that my heart also mourns the loss of my angel, I cannot hold her responsible for her sorrow.I whispered, "I don't frickin know.""Shouldn't you be standing by her side?"My headache was getting worse. "I desire most to spend time with her, but she's pushing me away," I said.That's exact as well. She screams at me if I get close to her. She pulls me away each time we speak. I used to be her ally. But as time went on, she started to view me negatively. I am unable to communicate with her, approach her, touch her, or even give her a hug. She drags me
Khlea’s point of viewI didn't follow Allison when she left in front of me. That's right, because Candy's mommy called me. I will go with her to get the results from Candy's laboratory. Since she knows nothing when it comes to such things. Candy used to fix Cindy like this."Are you okay, Khlea?" she asked me.I nodded slightly. "I'm okay." I asked her to go where the results are being taken. While walking, I didn't know what to say later to Allison.I didn't know that anyone would see me. What I also know is that she is sleeping in her unit, so I was not able to ask permission earlier. I didn't want to keep it a secret from her because I thought she was resting since she drove all night. I breathed deeply.I arranged everything before saying goodbye to Candy's mother. "I'll go home first, auntie. I'll just come back tonight."She held my hand. “Thank you so much for coming here, Khlea. We owe everything to you. Come back because I'm sure Candy will be looking for you when she wakes u
Khlea's point of view"You've been drinking for a while. Maybe you're all drunk," Brenda said when she approached me.I didn't pay attention to her, and then I went straight to the glass and drank all of the contents. I heard Brenda laugh softly, so I gave her a bad look."Leave me alone; is that okay? I want to be alone," I said, then poured another glass of wine."You know, if I had only known that you were planning to get drunk on alcohol today, I wish I would have let you drink after drink at my bar. I wish my bar would have made more money.""I'm sorry because I don't want to go to your bar at this time either."Brenda just looked at me. I know that she wants to wean me. She can do that, but she prefers to let me. I heard her sigh. "So maybe you can tell me what the problem is with you two? I don't understand anything.""We were fine last night. We had a fun road trip. We had a date at a coffee shop with dancing flowers.""Then, what happened?"I told Brenda everything that happe
Khlea's Point of ViewMy whole body ached when I woke up. I don't know where I am. The place where I am now is dark. My arms and legs hurt. When I moved it, it was tied tightly.I got nervous. I tried to move to break the tie but nothing happened. My hands only hurt more."Is there someone there? Let me go!" I scream so that someone can hear me. "Help me!"I didn't hear anyone so that got me thinking. I tried to remember what happened to me before I came here.It came to my mind that I drank in Brenda's office and she drove me to my condo. There, two men entered and here I am."Shit! Mr. Tuazon's men planned this?" I struggled even more. Those men want revenge for hurting me.If I hadn't been drinking, I could have defended myself without a gun. My headache suddenly crept up, so I stopped for a while. I'm out of breath too.I want to scream and scream now but I know it's impossible for anyone to hear me. I tried to move more to loosen the binding but I was just in pain.Aces suddenly
Khlea's Point of ViewAllison's fight with the man was quick. When she knocked it down, she quickly got out of me to untie me."Who are you with? Where is The8?" I asked her."I was with her, but we split up earlier so that we could find you faster. Are you hurt?" She just finished removing the ties from my hands and feet. When she looked at me, I could clearly see how she frowned. She touched my bruised cheek and I barely got away from her. "Who did that to you?""I don't know but that's not the guy." She pointed to the unconscious man lying on the floor."Teach me. I will make her feel more than that." Allison's voice was cold. No trace of joking.I didn't say anything more and we walked out of the hallway. We stopped for a moment when we felt someone running near where we were."Allison? Khlea?" It turned out to be The8. It dodged the gun pointed at us. "It's good that you're okay. Let's get out of here."Allison and I nodded and started walking but we ran into some men. Allison qu
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
