Storm POVI went to the bathroom to calm myself because of the frustration I am feeling now because Beatrice didn't remind me of the meeting I had today with one of my investments. So I can't help but feel frustrated."You've been working here for two months, haven't you? And I always remind you that all my schedules should be arranged by you! What's so hard to understand?" I snort at her."And I've told you several times, Sir, yesterday I reminded you of that meeting. I didn't know you weren't listening and you didn't keep it in your mind.""You're going to blame me now? You're my secretary, that's just your job. Yesterday was different from today and you must remind me again! Do you know how important that client is? And because of your stupidity, I lost it!" I shouted at her."I doing my job properly and how many times I have told you that I already reminded you about that meeting earlier, so it's not my fault anymore that you forgot it,""No matter what you say, that thing can't d
Beatrice POVI just arrived here at the hospital to look after my mother. Until now, the words my boss said to me have not disappeared from my mind. He is right, I shouldn't have answered him like that because I owe him a lot because he was the reason why my mother is still alive.I don't know why he behaves like that because his sister Kiara is kind, maybe one person doesn't have the same behavior even if they are siblings. I just hope he learns to laugh at least once."Bea, is there a problem?"I looked at my mother when she suddenly spoke and I immediately shook my head, "Nothing, there's just too much work done in the office." my answer."Maybe you are tiring yourself out too much or your boss is making you do a lot,""My work in the office as a secretary is easy, I just manage my boss's schedule," I promise."Is your boss treating you well?""Sometimes he's kind and sometimes not. I can't blame him because his company is also important to him and one more thing I know is that whe
Storm POVIt's Monday but I'm still at home. My sister left early because she and Nigel were going somewhere. I'm happy that they get back together.I just finished taking a bath because I'm planning to visit my parents today. It's been a month since I last visited them because I've been busy with the company and a lot of meetings.When I finished getting ready, I took my wallet and car keys and left the room. First I drove to a flower shop and bought fresh flowers that were my mother's favorite.It didn't take long before I reached where my parents were and opened the gate. I placed the flower I brought in front of their tombstone and sat next to it."Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad! How are you there in heaven? Are you happy together? I am working hard for the company and until now Alcantara is still at the top, while the cafe and boutique are also extremely successful because of Kiara," I said."We know how hard you worked for those things and we will take good care of it. We will a
Kiara POVThe smile that was plastered on my face disappeared when my brother left. I can't be sad in front of him because I don't want to add to the pain he harbors every time this day comes. I know that he misses our parents so much that he always spends his time working so that he doesn't think about them.I admit that I'm also hurting because I grew up without our parents, but because my brother was there, he made me feel that nothing was missing, even though I never saw Mom and Dad. I'm still happy because my brother takes care of me, he protects and loves me wholeheartedly.But I can measure the pain he is feeling right now, since he told me how amazing our parents are, especially what they both went through. My brother is close to both of them so I can't blame him for why he is still hurting now. He spent more time with them and got used to being with the two so he didn't think that we would lose them soon. I was just a baby at that time so I wasn't naive about what was happe
Beatrice POVIt's been three days since the last conversation I had with my boss and he is not going to the office. I thought he was sick but Kiara said that his brother needs to fix something important. That's why she's the one who is here in the Alcantara Company."Hi Bea," Kiara greeted me with a smile."Hello, Kiara. Do you need something?" I asked her."Nothing, I just came to visit you because you might miss my brother," she exclaimed laughing."And why would I miss your brother?" I said that makes her laugh even more, she often teases me like this about his brother."Easy, you're too hot-headed, you haven't even seen Storm for three days. Anyway, he's coming in now,""Of course, he will, he is the owner of this company," I said, stating the obvious."I'm just informing you," There is still a trace of teasing in her voice."You don't need to do that because I know he will, your brother loves your company too much," I said.I saw her laugh. "Oh, I'm going to leave, Okay? I need
Kiara POVI went to my brother's office when I heard his furious scream, so I quickly opened the door and saw that he was holding Beatrice by the arm and jaw. I immediately approached them and removed my brother's hands."Stop it, Storm! What are you doing? Why are you hurting her?" I ask."Get that girl out of here Kiara! I won't be able to control myself and forget she's a woman," Storm said emphatically so I quickly pulled Bea away.we were outside, I let her go, it seems that she didn't expect what happened between her and my brother. "What happened Bea? Why was my brother angry?" I asked her."W-we were just talking about the paperwork, I didn't know he would be so angry." she weakly said."Storm wouldn't be so angry if it was just because of the papers Bea, tell me did you say anything to him?" I asked again."T-there is, I didn't mean it Kiara because I was just annoyed by what he was saying." I frowned. "What did you say?" I ask."I said that maybe your parents didn't teach h
Beatrice POVWhen I got back to my place, I couldn't help but look at Storm's office. I didn't know what face I was going to show to him because of what I said about his parents, that's why he reacted like that.Later, the door opened and I saw Kiara, I noticed the swelling in her eyes looked like she had just recovered from crying. I bowed because I didn't know what to say."You can go home early Bea, my brother is no longer here and has left," she said as she approached me."Kia, I'm sorry for what I did," I said.She looked at me and smiled. "I understand because you don't know anything about what happened. I just hope it will not happen again Bea because I can't bear to see my brother hurting. And another thing I can reassure that he will not fire you completely and there's nothing I can do about it because he is still the one to decide,"I smiled at her, I can understand if he ever gets rid of me because he didn't like me in the first place and my guilt towards him just increased
Storm POVI didn't expect to see Bea in front of my unit, I had no intention of opening the door to whoever was knocking because I knew it wasn't my sister or Nigel because they knew the passcode of this unit.But that person didn't seem to have any plans to stop knocking so I got up and opened the door. I saw her about to leave so I spoke to let her know I was behind her."So what do you want to say now? Time is running out." I said."I just want to apologize for what I said earlier," she answered."Is that so? You came here just to say that useless thing?" I promise."I-I know you're mad at me for mentioning your parents and I know it's wrong that's why I came here,""If that's all you wanted to say, you can leave now," I said."Storm, I know you're going through something, I'm ready to listen if you need someone to talk to. Those alcoholics won't help you,""And who are you to tell me that thing? If I need someone to talk to, my sister and Nigel are there. I don't need anyone else,
Kiara POV This is the day! It's my wedding day. I feel mixed emotions right now, nervous, happy, and scared. The make-up artist that my brother hired has finished doing their things for me and I'm wearing my wedding gown. "You look tense." I looked at my brother sitting next to me."I'm just nervous brother," I said."To what? That you won't see Nigel at the altar? Don't worry because that thing won't happen, if he does that he won't see you and Chase anymore." he said. "Shut up brother, what you're saying isn't helping," He laughed and then came to me. "Calm down Ki, it's your special day. I still can't believe that my sister is getting married to my best friend now. It feels so unreal, I still can't believe that this is happening now, I remember when you were just a baby to take care of, then I always accompany you to buy your favorite books and foods, and later I'll take you to the altar, I'll leave you to the person who will love and take care of you for the rest of your life,
Kiara POV It's been five months since everything happened in our lives, I'm thankful because my son didn't have any trauma and he quickly forgot what happened to him. We also went on vacation because that's what Nigel wanted so we could have time as a family. As for Kaye, she immediately surrendered herself to the police, she also apologized to all of us several times and she is ready to pay for what she did, but her sentence was short because we did not file a case against her, only my brother. Even though she did something wrong to us, we can feel her remorse and she is ready to change her life. Little by little she is also accepting that she needs to move because my brother is happy now with his life. She has also talked to her parents and when she gets out of jail they will take her to another country. While Vina ended up in prison because of Kaye's help, she was caught quickly, many cases were filed against her because the police found out that the woman was also using illegal dr
Kiara POV Since we left Kaye's room, I noticed that Nigel was quiet, I didn't know what was going through his mind. I sat next to him while my brother is with Chase. "Are you okay babe?" I asked."I'm fine babe, I'm just thinking about something,""Is it about what Kaye said earlier?" I asked.He looked at me. I can see the guilt and sadness in his eyes. "Babe, what are you thinking? Is there any problem? Hmmm." I asked again and held his hand which I had noticed was clenching. "I'm just thinking about what's happening to us. It's all my fault, I'm the reason for all of this shit," He said."You don't have to blame yourself, Nigel," I said. "Why? I'm the reason why you went through all that, right? Vina did all of this because of me because she loves me. I'm just stupid,""B-babe,""I know we're okay, but I still can't get over to what happened. I'm thinking that what if I trusted you? What if I listened to your explanation?""I'm asking myself if I still deserve you and our son. B
Storm POV I'm currently in front of Kaye now, she just finished her treatment and is resting. I'm mad at her because of what she did to my sister and nephew but I can't hurt a woman. I know she already knows the consequences of what she did."Storm," she called me softly but I didn't answer and just kept staring at her. "I-I'm sorry, I know is it not enough for all the things I did I was just too blinded by my love for you that I did something terrible. You're right, if you love someone you won't be able to hurt the people he/she loves," she added. "But you did it, Kaye, you know how important Kiara is to me. She is the only family left and I didn't expect you to be able to put her in danger. I already talked to you, but you didn't listen, I gave you a chance because I treated you as family, as a friend but you disappoint me," I said emphatically."I know what I did was unforgivable, I kidnapped Bea and Chase, and I also put Kiara's life at risk. I just had no choice but to not do t
Kiara POVWe have been worried at home for a while now because my son is still not there, we have called the school several times and even the bus driver said that my son did not get on because someone picked him up and introduced himself as the child's relatives. My brother and I are very angry because of the negligence of the school.I was crying a while ago because I didn't know what to do, it's good that Nigel didn't leave me while my brother was talking to the police. We can only think of one person who can take my son."B-babe, what if Chase gets hurt?" I said while crying."That won't happen, babe, when she hurts our son she will put something on me," Nigel spoke emphatically."I'm going to sue that school! Damn it!" I hear my brother's angry voice."Better you rest first, babe. We'll take care of this. Dad and Mom will be here later." Nigel said but I just shook my head."I don't want to, I just want to be here. I can't sleep if I can't be sure that our son is safe." I said."
Storm POVI've been holding back my anger for a while now because of what I found out, I can't believe that he could do this to my sister. I can't forgive her! I will make sure she pays for all the things she committed in our lives.And because I was so shocked that I couldn't help but punch one of the men who did something stupid to my brother, the police quickly took me away from him. "Make sure they rot in jail!" I shouted."Don't worry Mr. Alcantara because they can't leave here and we will do everything to speed up the capture of whoever ordered them,"We talked about the case until I said goodbye, if she thinks she can hide for long then she is wrong. I am willing to pay any amount to put her in jail."What happened baby?" Bea asked me when I got into the car because I didn't take her inside."Kaye paid to do that to Kiara." my short answer."That woman is really bad, I don't know if she has any brains. I can't imagine that she would do that thing just for her own sake, I though
Nigel POVIt's been a month since I got out of the hospital and I fixed the family I have. I also told Storm that I intend to propose to Kiara again and fortunately, she agreed. I thought at first that he would not trust me with his brother.I have also bought a house for us but I haven't told Kiara about it yet. After all, I plan to move when we get married, because I don't want what happened before to happen again. I promised that whatever disagreements we have, we need to talk about it first, and we need to trust each other."What's wrong with you? You're so pale," Storm laughed at me because he is with me."Because I'm nervous, what if your sister doesn't come?" I said."If she doesn't go, no proposal will happen, it's that simple,""Damn you!"He laughed. "Just calm down, because you thought something bad was going to happen. Besides, Aunt Caliyah is with Kiara, so it's unlikely that it won't make it here. It's like this thing is new to you, you've already proposed to my sister b
Kiara POVWhen we arrived here in the Philippines, I immediately asked my brother to go to the hospital, at first he didn't agree because he wanted us to rest first but I didn't stop him because I wanted to see Nigel."Will you calm down Kiara? Maybe later Nigel will be the only one in the hospital and you too." He said."I-I'm nervous," I said."How can you not be nervous, you're thinking negatively,""Mommy, why is Daddy in the hospital? Is he okay?" My attention went to Chase's sudden spoke."He will be okay baby, your Daddy will also wake up because we are here," she replied to her son."Papa, did you say I will see granny and grandpa again?" he asked me.I smiled at him. "Yes you will, but just behave," I said."Yes, I won't mess around, Papa," he answered me.When we got to the hospital, I quickly went inside, I knew where Nigel's room was. When we entered, we found them sitting on the edge of his bed talking."Uncle, Aunt." My brother greeted them while Chase approached them an
Kiara POVIt's been a week since Nigel left and as he told me at the airport, he calls often, sometimes late because of his meetings one after another and I understand that. I do tell him that when he's tired, he should just rest and it's okay if he can't call right away, but what I say doesn't seem to have any effect on him.During the days that I don't see him, I do what he says. I need to help myself to forget my complicated past. It's not easy, but it's necessary to do so that I can be completely fine.My brother reopened the case about what happened to me before and he will talk to the police when we get home because that's what Nigel wants the person who did all this to me to pay.They don't believe that all this is a coincidence, they think that someone may have ordered them to do that thing to me."You always seem to be in a good mood since Nigel left,' I looked at my brother who had just arrived."And you are always ruining my day, brother," I said to him."Because you have s
