Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Am I your lunch?"
"H-Huh?" I gulped and blinked thrice in surprise. I looked at Mister Ramirez that is already raising his brows at me. Why the hell did he fucking ask me that? Am I staring at him for too long that he is already feeling uneasy?
"You keep on looking at me," he said in monotone and chewed the food inside his mouth. I then bit my lower lip and looked down at my food. Wait, I wasn't eating yet! or maybe I already started to eat but just a little because I can not focus just because of his presence.
I still can not grasp the view until now! He is just wearing boxers for Pete's sake!
"Uh, I am sorry," I said and shook my head. I then reached for my water and sipped on the glass. Now, I can not look at him because I could feel his teasing stares.
"Focus on your food and not on me," he just simply said that making me nod my head. Alright. I will. I will focus on eating my lunch and will not glance at his almost naked body.
But heck! It seems like he is seducing the hell out of me!
Yeah, I just continued to eat but I cannot focus! I finished my lunch with my silent and mute system. "Thank you for the food," I said while I am already outside and is ready to leave his room. "Have a good day anyway."
He nodded his head and looked at me. "Thank you for cooking also. You have great cooking skills."
"Oh, did you like it?"
"Yeah, somehow."
I tsked. "Really?"
"But seriously, you cook so well. Maybe it will be better if you will be my cook for a week?"
I pursed my lips in surprise. The hell? I will be his cook? No, no. I am his secretary and I will not be tiring myself in his fucking kitchen! "Nah," I said and shook my head. "I will not do anything without getting paid."
His left brow arched. "Really, huh? Then I will pay for your cooking service."
I grinned. "Okay, then. I will be your cook. When?"
"In the morning for breakfast, lunch, dinner."
"What? So I have to go here so early to make you breakfast?"
"Is not it obvious?"
"It is but it is unbelievable."
"I will pay."
I ended up nodding my head. Alright, then. I will not refuse his offer when money will not get involved. You can not blame me. I am here for work and I do not want to waste any of my time, even just a second.
I then went back to my room. By tomorrow, we will meet his big-time client so better be ready. I will prepare things already and also about the location of where she and Mister Ramirez will meet together. Of course, I will be around also to guide them.
I sat on my bed and looked at my phone. I stared at the photo that Zed has sent me. I have already checked it earlier but not all of them since that Mister Ramirez came to make me cook for his lunch, for our lunch I mean.
I scrolled on the photos and let out a heavy sigh. The photo is about major information about my mother and father, their relations to the possible suspects, and the crime scenes.
I scanned my eyes over the names of those suspects and creased a brow. There are three of them but one who caught my attention is the one who has a very familiar surname to me. I stared at his face and I can say that he has someone that looks like. What is the fucking meaning of this?
Hanz Xiro Ramirez.
Ramirez, huh? I can see Mister Ramirez on him. They are so the same in looks. Who is this?
I searched Hanz Xiro Ramirez and found out that he really is also the known Ramirez. He is the twin brother of Mister Ramirez who is my boss. What the hell? Why is he here also a part of the suspects?
I checked his background profile and dang it, his image is so clean. He is just a simple yet great businessman just like his brother, Kiel Alexandro. Well, I have to find more something about the three suspects and study the case. I will find out more connections and I will make the culprit rot in jail just like what they deserve.
I bit my lower lip and stopped checking on Hanz Ramirez. My phone then vibrated and Mister Deguzman already texted me back about me asking for any updates from him. It is a good thing that he has already a reply because I am waiting for updates.
Mister Deguzman:
Still finding it out
My brows automatically knotted. What kind of answer is this? I know that he is still finding and solving the case. He should not be so nonsense because I am asking him nicely.
Me:
what about it?
Mister Deguzman:
Zed already sent the images to you
Go and study about that. Keep that to yourself. I do not really know why he is helping you. If I do not just pity you, you will find yourself in the trash.
He sounded so mad but I just care less. Instead of getting nervous, I had the nerve to let out a laugh. Mister Deguzman sounded so pissed and I understand him. Who will not, right? Zed had just betrayed him just for me.
Me:
I am sorry and thank you. Have a nice day, Sir.
He did not reply to me already. I just smiled and went back to checking the suspects' background images. The other three are also a businessman and a businesswoman, but my attention could not just focus on the two because my mind keeps on saying that they are not worth my time and better investigate Hanz Ramirez.
I let out a heavy sigh before I shook my head. I could not find more information about Hanz Ramirez. Since this is Kiel Alexandro's brother, the wise move is to get close to Mister Ramirez and make him trust me. I mean, I really can be trusted but differently. Trust is for the heart's desire and for the personal purpose at the same time.
Yeah, I just have decided to get Mister Ramirez's attention so we get closer to each other and I will be able to ask him more important information about his brother, Hanz.
It's time to flirt, then.

Billion Heir's Obsession 18: "It"
“Good evening, Miss Sandoval.”I bowed my head to Miss Sandoval, the big-time client of Mister Ramirez. We’re here in a decent restaurant and I went here early to prepare their meeting dinner. Miss Sandoval has arrived first and we will just wait for Mister Ramirez.“Have a seat, Ma’am,” I told her and guided her the sit.She then smiled at me. “Thank you.”I bowed my head a little and went to the counter. There is already wine on their table and the food will be served later once Mister Ramirez gets to arrive. Good thing he went to the rendezvous minute later. I will kick his ass off if he will make Miss Sandoval wait for him.They greeted each other before Mister Ramirez sat on his seat. I just stared at them while the staff started to serve their food on the table. And just like expected, they started to have a conversation about business. I want to laugh because the way Mister Ramirez looks at her seems like he already wants to take her on the bed to fuck her countless times. The
Billion Heir's Obsession 19: Invitation
I could feel the cold breeze hitting on my open skin, making me hug myself in cold. I then looked up at the sky with my lips curved a little. There are lots of stars above the dark sky and I swear, they look so beautiful. It makes me want to stare at them all the time, all over my life and I will never get tired of doing that.I then let out a sigh, making some smoke to get out of my mouth. It is really cold especially since I am outside the hotel building and am walking around to enjoy myself with the view of the place. This place is addicting and maybe I will go back here when I got to have time. And oh, by tomorrow, I will come back here to take pictures with a clear and light sky."How are you there, Mom and Dad?" I asked and stopped on a bench in the park. I know my parents are there, looking down at me. I know that they see me and they were hearing me. "I miss you two."I am now smiling, a better one. I just want to shed tears just by knowing that I am living alone now, without
Billion Heir's Obsession 20: Call
Kiel looked at me with his harsh knotted brows. He was in disbelief at what I just asked him and I do understand his reaction because even, I did not expect myself to utter those words. It was just that I am kind of out of myself. This is so embarrassing!"You mean?" his lips slowly formed a smirk. I gulped and looked away from him."I mean nothing.""Really, huh?"I nodded my head and went back to cooking. I even heard him chuckle because I look so shy! My face even heated up like it was sunburned! I did not talk while I am eating my dinner at the table while I could feel his teasing look at me. I just want to punch his face because he is pissing me off!"But really," he said all of a sudden. "I need it right now."I looked at him, a bit confused. "You need?""I need someone in bed."I bit my lower lip, a bit shocked. "Then you should find some.""Why? Are not you available?"I stopped for a moment and gulped the imaginary lump in my throat. I became mute in the meantime because of h
Billion Heir's Obsession 21: Worth It
We started to drink silently and I could feel my heart beating so fast while I am looking at Kiel. He is silent sipping on his glass and is looking down at the floor. It was like he is thinking of something deep and I wonder what he is thinking. I just want to go inside his head to know what is going on with him."Are not you tired of staring at me?"I cleared my throat when he asked me that. "I am not staring at you, silly.""You are."I hissed. "I just love the view."He looked at me when I said that. "You loved it, huh? Do you want to just stare at it? Well, do not you want to feel it instead of just looking?"I rolled my eyes. "You are drunk."He chuckled and shook his head. We continued to drink. I admit, later by later, my head started to spin and it was like I am near to losing myself. My alcohol tolerance is not low but not that high either. I guess I still can go through with this."You fine?" Kiel asked when I coughed. I nodded my head as a response and stared at him again.
Billion Heir's Obsession 22: Happy
"Are you fine?"My cheeks heated when Kiel asked that. He was staring at me, holding a tray of food. I gulped and covered my face using a pillow in shame. What the hell? Just what the hell? I did not expect this thing to come. I never imagine this to happen. Fuck it, Talia!"Y-Yeah," I answered, not able to look at him. Embarrassment just started to swallow my being and I just want to fade away right in front of him. "I have to go now."I was about to stand up when he stopped me by heading near me, he then put the tray on the side table. "Stay. Eat this."I looked at the food. My lips then slowly formed a smile when I saw rice and a fried egg and bacon, there is also a glass of milk. Oh, wow. It was like I am a baby and is being fed by her mother. "You cooked this?"He nodded his head. "Yeah."My lips parted. "I thought you don't cook?""Just this once.""For me?"He just nodded his head at me, making me squint my eyes at him. He cooked for me, huh? How nice of him. I did not know he
Billion Heir's Obsession 23: Rule
"I did not know you are this possessive, Kiel."He grinned. "I don't know. I want to see you happy and of course, it is because of me. It is annoying to see that you are so fine without me around.""Hmm, jealousy?""No, I am not. I am not just used to it. Most women like me and just by seeing me, they will give their all. But you? Nah, totally different."My mouth formed an "o" as I nodded my head twice. "You want my attention, then. You are thrilled because I have no interest in you.""You do not have?""Well, before. Now I want to get to know you."He smirked, amused. "I also do.""So, what now?""Maybe we will start it with a date?""To make things work? Well, hmm. We should get started about knowing each other.""Like?""Like asking your favorite color, favorite food, and more."He chuckled and shook his head. "You are funny.""I am serious. What is your favorite color?""Red, dark red. What about yours?"I smiled. "Yellow.""Oh, nice. More on like the sun?""Yep. Sunlight because
Billion Heir's Obsession 24: Crazy
"When this week ends, what will happen to us now?"I cannot help but ask him that. When this week will be over, what next should we do? To be like before? Like semi-strangers just talking to each other when it comes to working? We will come back to our place like nothing happened? That we will just forget everything and move on to another chapter of our life? I hate this kind of setup. I mean, there is no even us but there is something between us. That's it.Kiel shrugged his shoulders off. "Go with the flow, I think.""Flow with? There is a possibility that we would not talk to each other anymore after this.""You want that?" he raised his left brow, looking pissed now because of the possibilities that I told him about. I then shook my head as a response."Of course not.""Then we will make things k out. We will not let that pen."I stared at him for a moment. That does that mean me, then? I mean, not that I am assuming but just by his words right now, he does not want to lose connec
Billion Heir's Obsession 25: Suitor
"Let's have a date?"I was closing my eyes, sleepy and tired when Kiel sat beside me and hover down to see my face. I covered my face using a pillow so he would not see me. I am shy, I am even blushing! It seems like what happened is nothing he can be shame of because he was acting normal just like what he is used to, except for his word just right now."Date?" I asked him back and buried my face in the pillow. I am naked and my body was just covered with a comforter while he, on the other hand, was just walking around in his boxers. "You want to go on a date with me?""Is not it obvious?" he fired and played with my hair. He even removed some of its strands that are covering my shoulders so he could plant a kiss there. "Don't you want to?""I am tired," I simply said and closed my eyes. I am because we just finished many rounds and I am already sore. He just wrecks me as easily as that and I am loving it."Yeah, I know, I know. Maybe later? Or tomorrow?""Tomorrow? It's morning. Mayb

And she does not feel well, it was like she will be sick in no time.“Hey, what are you feeling?” Yanna asked her worriedly that she just answered with a shake of her head.“I am fine,” Talia said but her feeling says otherwise.“We should go to the hospital,” Yanna suggested and was about to call for her bodyguard but Talia stopped her. She does not want to go to hospital because she hate it. And for her, she could bear the weird feeling struck.“Don’t,” she uttered to stop her. “I am fine, Yanna, really. If you want to help, just get me hot water.”Yanna followed her immediately. As soon as Talia receive the hot water, she sighed and started to sip on the cup.

Billion Heir's Obsession 64: Fellow
Talia feel lonely the next week because her half another was not around. She felt like something is off, something is lacking and that was just Kiel's presence beside her. His presence is enough for her joy and she could not get enough. She have Liah at home but since she was going to school, she often gets alone inside the unit. Their maid would only be around when there is no one and it is a good thing there is someone she could talk to."Do you love eating vegetable salad?" she asked to the maid that is busy cooking food in the stove. The woman looked at her and smiled. The woman can not lie, she feels odd when her boss will talk to her like they were friends but she should get used to because Talia wants a conversation with her."Yes, I do eat every food that the table can offer," she answered. Talia is one year older than her and the woman has a big respect to Talia because of her personality and kindness."Hmm, good to hear. What was your name again? Sorry, I forgot about it," T
Billion Heir's Obsession 63: Realization
Just as what is planned, they brought Liah in the hospital so her situation can be checked. Good thing there is no severe, it was just the reaction of her first batch of menstruation. They were nervous at first because Liah might have other pain she is feeling in her body but good thing she is healthy."I told you, I am fine," Liah said as they went inside their car. She sat in the backseat while the two were in front. "Anyway, the food last night is the best. I never taste like those in my entire life. Thank you."Talia heaved a deep sigh and looked at her. "Careful next time, Liah. And eat healthy foods so that disease will be shy to visit you."Liah chuckled. "I never got a mother that is worrying about me like you."Talia blinked as she did not expect her to say that. She glance at Kiel first that is focusing his eyes in the road but obviously listening to their conversation. Talia did not wish to hear about her story especially about her parents because it might hurt her, her pas
Billion Heir's Obsession 62: Together
He snaked his arms around her waist upon entering the decent restaurant. The side of his lips were curved while they head to their booked table. Talia on the other hand, she has an unreadable facial expression because she was just looking the way they are heading. Kiel can not even define if she is happy or not but since they are cool inside the car, talking all right, he just shrugged her poker face off.He then guided her to sit on her seat, holding her back and taking careful."Hmm, what do you want to eat?" he asked as son as he made on his seat. He looked at her."I am full," she said, making his smiles to fade. "I mean, yes, but I still want to eat. Vegetable salad will do, and maybe wine? Or coffee. And oh, deserts."His smiles plastered back. "What else?"Talia added some foods that Kiel failed to memorize. He was not even sure if Talia is serious about it because she mentioned almost twenty food from the restaurant. But she noticed that it was too plenty so she mentioned to t

"We will have a dinner date later."Talia looked up to Kiel when she heard that from him. Her forehead then creased. She just remembered that they has not been dating since then, sometimes will just a random call or meeting. As Kiel noticed her expression, he bit his lower lip.He then added a mutter, "If that is fine to you..."Talia chuckled because Kiel seems nervous with the thought of Talia rejecting his offer. She tapped the side of the bed where she is sitting while Kiel on the other hand standing near the door. It has been a week after Kiel's long suffering with Talia's punishment and their relationship did not change. Their love for one another has just deepened and they are the happiest at the moment of Liah having her menstruation."Why you now seemed doubting?" she slowly asked and plant a faint smile on her lip. Kiel then avoided his look away. "Tell me you did nothing wrong, Kiel Alexandro."He gasped. How the hell she thought of that? "I am just being too careful with m
Billion Heir's Obsession 60: Payment
"I was waiting for you."A small smile crept on his lips as Talia greeted his view. Kiel tiredly put his bag on the couch and walked near Talia. He sat on the bed and he was about to get closer to kiss her when Talia blocked her palm in front of his chest, stopping him from doing such a thing. That is when he heaved a deep sigh, now getting what the punishment Talia is talking about."Come on, babe. I can't bear with you not minding me, like I don't exist at all," he complained and bit his lower lip, staring at her beautiful soul lying on the bed. He even scammed her body as she was wearing a skinny pajamas. "I know you were mad -""Again," Talia hushed and lift herself up. "As per earlier, I am not mad. Not anymore. I just want you to know the consequences if you ever do that again.""I did not mean it -""I know, okay? I just want you to know it before you try to cheat on me or flirt with another girl," she said with an amused look on her face.Kiel then tsked and started to unbutto

"I will visit you later," said Talia as she had a call with Kiel.After everything happened, they back on track in their life. Back to work and Liah is focus on her studies. Talia was just staying in their unit especially that she is already months pregnant. She has to be careful and cautious to everything she does. They just hired one bodyguard outside and a maid in the unit so if she would encounter emergency, someone is there to help her."Babe, you know that you should not go out when -""Yes, I know but I wanted to see you. Please? Let me. This is just once," she cut him off because he is refusing. It was just that Kiel doesn't want Talia in harm. She should not go out alone and travel without him beside her.Kiel sighed on the other hand. "Alright, then. I will fetch you.""Fetch?" she chuckled in humor. "Trust me, Kiel. I am not a kid anymore, okay? I can take care of myself, do not worry."Kiel did not have a choice anymore but to let her be. That is what she wants and he trus
Billion Heir's Obsession 58: Hands of Fortune
"I didn't expect you guys to be here! I miss you!" Liah was surprised to see Talia and Kiel. She jumped over them to have a hug as she was missing them so bad. She has not seen them for already weeks and she can not lie that she wants to see them. Talia promised her to go back. Liah expected yet she didn't fulfill her promise quickly as she was sent in the orphanage. She's been alone and sad even though the place where she is living is fine. It was just that she is lonely these past few days. "We miss you too, Liah," said Talia and hugged her back and kissed the top of her head. Kiel on the other hand caress her back as a greeting. "Anyway, we are now here." "Are you just visiting? Or you will get me out of here?" Liah looked at her with her begging yet questioning eyes. Talia then beamed widely and tapped her head. "We are here to bring you home," she said, making her eyes to widen in surprise and excitement. The feeling inside Liah upon hearing that was like the happiest in her enti

"You have to go with us, Talia."Talia shakes her head, refusing. Then she forced a small chuckle and looked at her family that is giving her a begging look. "I can't, okay?" she said and gritted her teeth. "You can not force me to go with you. I am done with your family."Trist tried to reach for Talia but she stepped back away. "Talia –""No, you can not change my mind, Mom. You know that I am pregnant? You can not accept it because you have plans for me? Then that will be it, I can not accept you too. It is easy as that," she said while clenching her jaw. They were shut silent in disbelief and surprise. They did not know that that thing reached Talia's hearing. They did not expect her to know why they are here and especially, they did not expect her to react this way."Talia, calm down," Kiel whispered to her and held her hand. She cannot just yell around and do what she wants in the current time that will not cause good to her and their baby. Talia looked at him with her teary ey
