"HIS CALMING PILL"

DIMAS NEARLY lost his jaw when his father struck his face with a powerful blow for the fifth time now and he did nothing but be on his feet, rooted like an unmoving log in his front. Clenching his jaw as hard as possible to remain expressionless and invincible. This has been happening for three decades now, his body was used to the pain already.

"I really can't figure out where did you get that stupid mind of yours!" he growled in a very furious voice while his nose crinkles in loathe. "Do you really have a mind or you are really nothing but an airheaded, worthless as*hole?!"

"Arquero, please..." cried by his mother while she was trying hard to keep his father's fingers from pointing at him. The pity she's feeling for her son is making her weep louder, but it can't do anything about her husband's wrath. "Our son's hurting."

"Do you see any sparkle of care in my eyes?" he spat without any tone in his ice-cold voice.

It's always the void that's growing wider and wider each day, the loneliness is a foe that is always there for him to fight. But what keeps on hurting him more is the memories that never left his head despite how busy, how sleepy or drunk he was.After signing the last paper from the pile on his table, Zandro dragged his back on the backrest of his swivel chair, he shut his eyes tightly as he let his long fingers dance against his temple.It's been quite a long and tiring day yet, he doesn't feel like going home because dealing with his thoughts and loneliness, also faking his niceness towards that stupid Monroe will get him more exhausted for sure.Ugh! That girl is getting him into trouble every freaking chance possible. Not

    "ILLEGAL DOG DOMESTICATION" "ZANDRO, i-it hurts," cried Blythe while she was shaking in his hands. She is trying to get rid of his grip but his anger is not the type to subside fast. "I- I didn't do a-anything wrong." "Señorito," even Val dared meddle just to stop him. "She's hurting, señorito." Overflowing tears made her beautiful eyes glisten, and when it streamed down from her face to his hand, it struck him to finally wake up from what he was doing. What is he really doing now? Then her eyes filled with fear meet his eyes, she's badly shaking while trying hard to get rid of his fingers from her pale neck. Damn! The clenching of his jaw gets tighter as he slowly freed her poor neck, she must have lost much air that she nearly fainted after, if only Val's reflexes weren't fast collecting her in his arms. In gritting teeth, she tried to keep her sobs in her mouth but it was to

    "CAN YOU PLEASE, CLOSE HER CHAPTER"THE NEXT morning started out with one of the servants named Larah and her cacophonous cry of pleading echoing around the office. Zandro was having his cup of coffee inside his office while he was watching the rising sun casting its magical hue everywhere in his flower plantation when Mrs. Cooper came in with the mastermind of sabotaging that happened last night.He was calmly tempering the bitterness of the coffee through his tongue, very opposite to the young lady who was on her knees pleading endlessly in front of him. As he stood up, Zandro gently wiped off the small drop of coffee on the side of his lips before he shoved both his hands into each of his pockets."Señorito, have mercy on me," she whined while shaking. "I don't have any idea about that food.""Cooking has never been in your job description, right?" His eyes are sharp and scary like a wild animal as alw

And like usual, it was all about that bloody night where many people were murdered mercilessly. A lot of unfamiliar bodies or corpses were scattered everywhere in that unfamiliar place.Since the traumatic night that happened in the orphanage years ago, a series of nightmares about some type of terrifying tragedy used to flash at the back of her head and Blythe doesn't really know what to do anymore. They were already taking a toll on her now...

Through her clean palm, she gently flattened the crumpled part of her white long sleeves as she also ran her fingers up to the cute bow tie on her neck. Just like what she was supposed to do, she styled her blonde hair into a clean bun like her colleagues as well as her makeup which she only did for a couple of minutes. It wasn't dramatic but she made sure that she would highlight her gorgeousness to the point that people would doubt that she was just a poor server.Well, she assumed that her abuela would send her to this freaking event as one of the Villalobos' representatives. She actually prepared a nice ball gown to wear for the said event but to her humor, her grandmother's personal assistant gave her this pair of... Well, a cute set of black and white uniforms with a bow on its neck. The long sleeves fit very nicely in

There were representatives of their respective countries, famous politicians, and everyone involved in the upper crust; but aside from their dazzling stones and designer clothing it was the members of the Monroe who attended the said celebration that arrested her pretty eyes. Compared to what she was expecting, their representatives right now were younger, say the late twenties or early thirties. They don't look familiar to Claudia, she was just told of their appearance and their outfits by Jeremiah earlier. As everybody said, they are really people with class and elegance. It's screaming in their auras and every movement.Watching them enjoy the party makes her seethe in loath, there's a fire burning her remaining sanity away. The monster inside her body just fl

"You go to Antonette and tell her to get the car ready." It was as if Zandro and Claudia's gazes were brushed with the strongest adhesive that they can't lift their eyes away from each other, they can't even blink in fear that one of them might start an attack. But Zandro knows better that his father was just around and he won't risk his precious image just for the sake of his molten anger towards this thief, he's too good to be like Dimas.

    "THE GARLIC" BLYTHE AND MRS. LADIGNON were both startled by a voice that suddenly joined their conversation, her body froze more when she felt her husband's warm arms envelop her small waist. Zandro planted his chin on her shoulder blades and his every breath on her skin were kisses that caused her electric shocks, making the hair on her nape rise. "Zandro!" Mrs. Ladignon reprimanded, amusedly shaking her head. "My goodness this man! We're still starting here and you're here again?" "What's wrong? I miss my wife," he said like he really meant it. "Can I join you two?" "And what about Lorenzo?" Mrs. Ladignon placed her hands on her waist. "You left him alone?" "Well, he got an important call." Zandro tightened his arms on her like he doesn't care about anyone's presence. "Hmmm... still no. Go back there because this is a girly bonding." Then Mrs. Ladignon turned to her like she was asking for help. "Blythe, please scold that stubborn." Their faces immediately met the second that

    "THE NECKLACE" BLYTHE'S JOY was endless as she and Zandro headed to the dining room where they were going to have their breakfast with their guests. Zandro didn't allow her to walk by herself because her husband was still worrying that she might be relapsed, so he insisted on carrying her bridal style as they went out of their room. Bythe could feel many eyes watching the two of them, it doesn't feel good but since she was with Zandro they had to bow down and bit the bitterness to themselves."Oh! The love birds are here," Mrs. Ladignon greeted in glee. "Good morning."Zandro gently deposited her in an empty seat, then Blythe smiled sweetly as she greeted the couple back."How do you feel now, Blythe? I heard you've got an aching leg yesterday.""Unfortunately, yes, Ma'am. And I'm sorry that I failed to spend dinner with you.""No, hija. We understand," Judge Ladignon interjected. He put his cup of coffee down as he looked at Blythe with a small smile on his lips. "But you made your

    "RED-EYED WOLF AND THE MONOGRAM" "YOU ARE no different from your mother and your father, Claudia. You are also weak and worthless!" The cuts made by her abuela's words in her chest have been much deeper than those she got from the trouble she encountered the other night, it has sharp daggers that continuously penetrate inside her. Claudia was left unmoving while her head was hanging low, it was a good thing though because the old woman won't get the chance to see the emotion she was failing to hide in her swollen eyes at the moment. The building up of any emotions on her face would get her into more punishments, she can't be weak! "I can't believe you let that scoundrel take your attention off the Monroes, Claudia! What if you've missed a very important detail in their conversation, huh?" Senora Constanza motioned her well-painted fingers in grace, then the server next to her automatically flicked the golden fan to bring her some cool air. "Que barbaridad! I personally picked you

    "LULLABY"HOW MANY times did Blythe admit to herself that Attorney Vizmanos is a God's gift to women? Well, it's been a long time already since she first saw him being featured in one of the famous magazine folds, and then on the day she personally met him in the club where she's working as a waitress, she found herself developing a deeper feeling for the guy. Blythe refused to label it as an attraction because it seemed too deep for her simple admiration, but admiration can also be a shallow word for the way her heart feels... Now, she's confused.A simple fight happened between them that day when Blythe insisted to help him with the wounds he got from her boss— Mr. Vizmanos, who's also Zandro's brother— who just suddenly punched him in the face even though Zandro just saved her and her fellow employee from those pervert customers back then. Blythe presented herself as his fan and also one of his scholars in his foundation, but instead of being friendly to her, Attorney Vizmanos th

Blythe knows it very well, but don't they have done too much for today?"I know you are very much tired," he uttered while pulling her closer to his body. "Common, Mi Amor.""B-but I can still manage it, Zandro... I might burden you.""I rather suffer than you." An encouraging smile flashed on his face. "Now, would you please..."Blythe can actually feel the pain piercing her feet because of walking almost the whole day, but they have to be with their special guests as they stroll nearly the whole farm.

    "SHE WAS MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND" AS THEIR farm tour continues, their conversation went astray into different topics as well since the Ladignon couple has been very energetic and too nosy about Zandro and Blythe's love story. Their sudden arrival feels like a test they actually prepared for a long time but it is still shocking and stressing them out. After a very long and exhausting walk, they finally settled themselves into the comfort of the soft picnic blanket arranged for the four of them underneath the huge Narra tree. From there is the breathtaking view of the greenery that brings them the aroma of crisp air that soothes their bodies, as well as the lake that was as silver as diamond flame; the melody of its peaceful current is a piece of music to anyone's ear. It feels amazing to connect with these wonderful creations, it's taking all of her stress and heavy emotions away. Blythe gently shut her eyes and a sweet smile crept upon her pretty face. "So, Blythe..." it's Mrs. Ladi
