Dos

I am already driving home after a few drinks and chit chat with my friend, Russel Perkins. I just felt the need to drink beer. We were at his bar to both celebrate and grieve about the situation I have faced earlier. I shook my head as I remembered what happened.

I was at the office when I received the news from my assistant that my father was furious so I drove home to his house. We argued because I do not know how long it was. I just waited until he stopped from his homily.

My father is angry at the fact that it was my brother who slept with my date. Well, it was me who set them up. So technically, I am at fault for what happened. But deep inside of me, I am a bit happy.

My older brother, Diez, arrived and interrupted him so I was saved from trouble. They entered the study and talked about something important. Maybe it was for the family’s business again but I did not give a damn. Soon, they walked out of the room.

“You disappointed me big time, Dos.” My father stated in deep re

    Mari Kristine We have traveled all over the city just to find a place to stay for tonight. Unluckily, all of the apartments are occupied. The same with hotels and other inns. This is ridiculous! I have suggested to Dos that he must bring me back to the apartment so I can ask the landlord to stay there. But he always declines my suggestion. He implies that if we go back there, the landlord would pester me again. Not just that. Dos said that he already picked me up so he must find a good place for me to sleep. He was fuming mad when the hotels owned by him were all full. He said that he was so confident since he owns many hotels here in our city. Thus, Dos, he’s a bit embarrassed about bringing me trouble. But, no. I was the one who caused him trouble. He paid for my rent and got me out of trouble. Now, he’s helping me look for a place to sleep. I can just sleep in his car if he allows me so I will not bother him anymore. I looked at his gloomy face as he sat on the driver’s seat of

    Mari KristineToday’s a great day! I’ve gone shopping with my best friend, Fae Carmona Verrier and we are now heading our way out of the mall. I just bought two movie tickets tonight for me and my boyfriend, Alexander Harisson, to celebrate our anniversary in advance.And of course, a black Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 watch–the biggest of the Oyster Perpetual series which I am planning to give as a surprise gift to him.We have planned to go out for a date the next day. And, we will eventually dine in a luxury restaurant they own for our dinner later. I am optimistic that Alexander will like my present since he was a Rolex watch fan and had a good collection for Rolex items.This is my first time buying him a gift so I am wishing that he will be happy with it. I just found out that he has no Oyster Perpetual series in his Rolex watch collection.Tomorrow, we’ll be celebrating our seventh anniversary. And with that, I am hoping that Alexander will be proposing to me sooner or later. He i

    Mari Kristine“What does this mean, Alex?” Fae angrily asked him while gritting her teeth. Her hands are tightly gripping me.Alex looked at me with his eyes pleading. “L-Let me explain f-first, please?” He stammered.I just stared at him without any expression on my face. I don’t feel any. I should be shocked, I should have been hurt, and I… I should have cried. But no, I don’t feel anything.Fae shook her head before she stated, “You can explain now. But I don’t think you really can.” Fae glared at him angrily without giving Alex any chance of getting comforted.“Let…” He paused and looked around. “Let us talk somewhere outside. Not here, but privately. Please, Mari?” He asked.I frowned at him asking to save his face from embarrassment but destroyed mine. I replied to him without any hesitation, “No.” Fae smirked after hearing my response.“So much for the drama. You asked for this, Alex. You two with your good for nothing other woman asked for this. Now, you wanted the woman you hu

    Mari KristineFae followed me from behind after I walked out of the mall. I even heard the slap she made as I walked out to Alex, this girl is really a bitch. As always.“Mari! Wait for me you fast pace mover! Hey!” She yelled just like a kid who is following and pleading with her mom not to leave her alone at the kindergarten.I stopped my track after I got out of the mall. She hurried towards me and smacked my shoulders. She always has that much strength whenever she slams her hands.“Ouch! Fae, stop it.” I screamed. Heck, it’s so painful for all you know. This woman!“I did not believe my own eyes just now, Mari. I mean you… you just did it great, wow! Do you know how savage you were a while ago?” She praised me.“With just that small thing and you are now acting like you have won the lottery?” I asked her with disbelief. She is unbelievable, okay?“But who knows you will act like that? You gave Alex a bit of hope and then you dumped him just like he is nothing but garbage to you a

    DosMy dad is such a handful. He always drags me to his schemes and plans for my own sake beforehand. His plans are sometimes difficult for me to handle. Just like this one.“Sir, you should go back to your initial position and give us your best smile.” One of my father’s subordinates asked me.“Let me rest for a bit. This is not something charitable if you are going to push me to my limits. Please?” I asked him.“Okay, Sir. Fifteen minutes.” He briefly replied to me before turning his back.Just some seconds later, someone approached me. “Sir, we should go on with the photoshoot. It will be hot soon, the children still want to play.” He argued, sighing when I looked at him irritated.“Then just let those kids from the orphanage enjoy themselves. No need for me to document with them their play time. It’s just nonsense.” I refused to take photo shoots for the kids.“But Sir, we are instructed by your father to do so. We need to shoot at least three to five more.” One of the cameramen b

    Mari KristineI am staring at the two movie tickets wondering what happened when Dos arrived. He is wearing a wide smile. As we both looked at the movie tickets, he winked at me.What a flirt!Behind him are two of the theater staff – one is holding a key while the other is holding one double order of popcorn and two soda cans for drink. Oh! So, he is really serious about watching a movie with me.I awkwardly smiled at him. You know what? I didn’t expect him to be so cheesy just now. He was recently listed as one of the young bachelors. I was there too when the Lamiers threw a celebration party for him.“You look like you don’t believe your eyes, Miss Rossier.” He teased in his deep husky voice.I never have heard that voice of his. Is it possible that his voice can be like that? I think I am spacing out just by listening to it.I only looked at him when he smirked, “Seems like you really do. Funny how you are spacing out.”I heard him laugh. But I was so embarrassed that I needed to

    DosMy father’s bodyguard waited outside. I am certain that the old man was already inside, waiting for me. I parked my car when I noticed the guard mumbling something while holding a little microphone. What is he planning to do again?“You came from the south. The bodyguard said that you sped off the car and headed south before you finally got home.” My father stated as he looked at me smiling from ear to ear.“What does it have to do with you? As if you care about my errands.” I asked him sarcastically.“Of course! I want to have a grandkid now. You should find someone to marry as soon as possible. I have found out that your good for nothing brat is cheating on you.” He merely laughed with the idea of Ashley cheating on me.“Why are you so happy about that? You pressure your sons to give you grandkids but you don’t like Ashley. Well, I don’t care anyway.” I asked my father as he stood up suiting himself.“The guards said you were with a girl and drove her into her small apartment. J

    Mari KristineToday is a bit exhausting. I should have hung out with Fae if it weren’t for the fact that my manager gave me a pile of paperwork. He said to us that everything is under control but then he turned into a monster overnight. He did not even considered our break time and urged our time to rush those papers.I straightened my back and stretched out my hands. I need a good weekend break after this. Someone approached me with a cup of coffee and smiled.“You look so haggard, dear. There are way too many papers left, hope you don’t give up or else each of us won’t get paid at the end of the month.” My colleagues laughed at her words.“Yeah, I hope to finish all of this by dusk. I need to straighten my back tonight.” I stated as I looked around.“We all deserve a good rest tonight. I can’t afford to lose my job. I still need to pay for my family’s expenses.” The person who gave me the cup of coffee said before she went back to her seat.“Same here, Rissa! I had an insane night
