Ellie’s POV It has also been three days since the strength of my legs returned. I can finally walk again! But the two nurses still did not leave my side, even Arya was still watching beside me. They always remind me to still take care of my body. Even though Dr. Guttierez checked me up and Miss Candy and they said that my condition was really improving, Arya and Aunt Cora still couldn't help but worry about me. They take good care of me both and that’s one of the reasons why I feel so relieved when they are with me. Even though I didn't know them very well and I only came here because their Señorito helped me, they still accepted me and considered me a family member as well. "Ellie, do you want us to go to town later?" Arya asked cheerfully. We are currently in the living room today with nurses Hans and Ria. We were watching a movie on n*****x while eating cookies that Aunt Cora herself baked. I'm getting more and more food because Aunt always cooks, you really can't complain abo
Keeion’s POV "What's the update about what I'm asking you to do?" “Sir, I have done what you ordered. I have hired a good private investigator. He is currently doing what you ask him to do,” my secretary replied. She had a long brown envelope placed in front of my desk. If I’m not mistaken, those are the details of the private investigator she says. I opened it and I was right. This is a man's resume. His record is clean. Included inside the envelope were the clients who hired him as a private investigator. The clients who are there are social celebrities. Almost everyone has had positive feedback on the service of Alexander De Villa, the same private investigator my secretary hired. "Good," I said, looking at Haezyl's face. She seemed to have removed a thorn in her throat because she knew she did a good job of what I was ordering and I couldn't scold her. "Tell him I'll need the documents within two days." She nodded. “Yes, sir. I will update him right away.” “That’s all. You
Arya’s POVI was going upstairs when I met nurses Hans and Ria. They carried a travel bag with their belongings. It is big enough to fit the clothes and other items they used during their almost 2 months stay here at the mansion.They smiled at me when they saw me. I also returned those smiles.Now they are leaving.Even though I've only been with them for two months, somehow I can still miss them. Not only did I consider them as nurses, I also considered them friends.They are easy to get along with because of the good attitude they have.I wasn’t mistaken that they were the ones I took when Keeion was looking for someone to be Ellie’s nurse. They didn’t give me a problem. They both did a good job."Are you both leaving?" I asked when I stopped just to talk to them.The two nodded."Yes, Miss Arya," Hans replied."In that case, I will send you to Uncle Luisito." I still can't take my smile away from them. I slowly lifted my hand and reached for their arm to tap gently. “Thank you ver
Ellie’s POVEver since Arya and I went to the flower plantation, I couldn’t get rid of the strange feeling I had. I was uneasy because it seemed like the heaviness of my feeling was for an inexplicable reason.I knew in myself that I had a connection to that plantation but no matter how hard I tried to define what it was, I couldn’t because I couldn’t remember. Even if I insist, I will only get a headache.Why does it take so long for my memories to come back?"You seem to be thinking deeply, Ellie."I looked to my side. I caught it looking at me and it looked like she had been watching me for a while. That is why she has now read that I am deep in thought.We are currently on Aunt Cora’s veranda. Every noon we are here lying down because of the fresh air coming from the lined trees in front of the mansion. Even if the sun is straight, that is no reason for us to feel hot. In the number of trees, it covers the heat with its lush leaves, the heat that would have hit in our direction. T
Keeion’s POVAfter I signed and understood all the piles of documents that were in front of me, I looked at my wristwatch to see what time it was.It’s already 4:45 in the afternoon.I picked up my cell phone that was on the side of the computer and dialed the number of Haezyl, my secretary.It was only four o'clock when she answered it immediately.The person on the other line did not speak immediately. I can only hear her deep breaths."H-Hello, Sir?"“Where the hell are you now? It’s almost 5 o’clock!”Even though it was on the other line, she still couldn’t escape my scream. Even though I can't see her now, I know she's closing in because of the strength of my rebuke to her. That's how she always reacts when I scold her. The beauty of Haezyl, she doesn’t take to heart what I say. Even though I scolded her every day, she still didn’t resign. Maybe it's immune.“I’m sorry, Sir Keeion. I waited for him for almost 2 hours and he almost arrived. But no worries, Sir, I'm back with the c
Ellie’s POVAfter I took a shower I decided to go down first to get some fresh air. I plan to go for a walk outside to find something to do.I can't help in the kitchen because I don't know how to cook. I tried to help but Aunt Cora just laughed at me. Even before I tried to cook, I was told that I was not good at cooking, which was true. It's surprising because Aunt predicted it right away. The adobo I cooked then was just wasted because I overdosed on the mixture there. I still have to watch cooking shows on youtube when I get something out of the kitchen.It's embarrassing for them that I can't do anything here while Señorito Keeion hasn't ordered me to start working as his personal assistant.How am I going to start if he’s not here at the hacienda yet, right?When I went downstairs, I found the waiters busy tidying up the living room. Some are arranging the couch, the new pillow case is putting on the pillows that are there and others are busy putting colorful flowers in the anti
Cyfer’s POV“Oh, Señorito Cyfer, what are you doing there? It's late and you might still be deep there.”I turned to the person who spoke. Even though the light that was just coming from this hut was here so I couldn’t see the full face of the person who spoke, I still recognized who it was because of her voice.Aunt Cora.“I'm fine, Aunt. Don't worry that I might be hot because I'm wearing a sweatshirt,” I said with a smile. “I will also enter soon. I'm just airing it for a few minutes.”“Is that so? Oh go ahead, son, I'll be inside first. Just follow there.”Even though I couldn't see her, I still nodded.Aunt still hasn't really changed, she's still really very thoughtful and caring. I immediately remembered when I was young and here I was on vacation at the hacienda, Aunt Cora who I considered my second Mother.It was only with her that I experienced things that I could not get from my real Mother.I smiled bitterly.I just stood up instead of dramatizing. I grabbed my DSLR camera
Ellie’s POVI woke up because of the sunlight hitting me because of the open window. Even though the sun king peeked, it was still not hot. The breeze that blows on my skin is still fresh.I was also stunned for a few minutes when I realized I was not in the room. I woke up in no time. I looked around the small room where I slept.I am in a cottage.I closed my eyes to remember what happened last night.I was with Keeion’s cousin last night. He was the last person with me.Couldn't I have fallen asleep while talking to him?I noticed that the door of this room was ajar. Even if I didn’t get up to open it completely, I could still see the outside of it because there was enough space in that pitiful door.I saw from outside that someone was lying on the long chair that was there. In that chair I sat last night. You can sleep because it fits one person and it is also spacious.The hut is because it is not an ordinary hut that is just being built. This cottage was obviously tailored becau
Ellie’s POV"W-What?""I said, '' I don't know you."I could barely move because of what he said. It asked me who I was. Even if I say my name, he still doesn't know me.“Keeion, it’s me, Ellie. I’m Eloise Valencia Ruiz, your wife." I don't know how many times I've repeated it to him but until now, he still doesn't remember me.What the? Seriously?"W-Wait, Keeion, you don't remember Ellie?" Tedson interrupted our conversation. Even he was confused."I'm already married?" her question. "But I can't remember her.""Keeion, I'm Ellie." I almost begged him to remember me.“Sorry, Miss. I don't know Ellie.”Tears welled up in my two eyes. Tedson noticed that so he patted my back."Let's just wait for what the Doctor has to say," he said.I helped him to go to the sofa first. I agreed because he felt weak. Who wouldn't be discouraged if the person you've been waiting for to wake up again doesn't remember you now that his consciousness has returned.Tedson and I sat on the sofa. Keeion left
Ellie’s POV“Ellie, can you come home first? You need some rest. The other day you were here, you didn’t get enough sleep. Come with me now.”I was taken aback when Arya tapped me on the shoulder. She was carrying a large bag in which were placed the clothes we used yesterday and today. It's already seven o'clock in the evening and it looks like she's going home to Keeion's condo to get things back the next day. This was also her routine the other day, the first day Keeion was in the hospital.I sat up straight and faced it. “I'm fine, Arya. I'm just here next to Keeion until he wakes up.”"Are you sure? We will take care of you if something bad happens to you. Keeion will definitely not like it if you feel bad when he wakes up.”I smiled to let her know I was fine. "Don't worry, nothing bad will happen to me."“Oh, okay. I'll go home first, huh? I'll just come back tomorrow and maybe Tedson will come here later so you still have someone with you.”I just nodded.I followed Arya's gaz
Ellie’s POVI was almost statuesque where I was when my two eyes witnessed firsthand how Keeion fell to the floor. I can not move. I wanted to scream but I was consumed with intense nervousness when I saw it was bloody.We all had no speech.Our brain is now processing what is happening.Until I was forced to shout its name."Keeion!"I avoided saying that again. I felt a series of tears trickle down my cheeks."Damn!" Tedson immediately stepped forward. He quickly supports Keeion. “Keeion, don’t give up. We will take you to the hospital right now.”At the same time as the police rumors, Sydney in turn released her gun. She trembled backwards as it stared intently at her own hand. Only now did she realize what she did. She herself shot Keeion. I will never forgive her in case something bad happens to my husband!"You're an indeed evil, Sydney!" I can't control my anger anymore. I almost killed her with the evil look of what I was throwing. "Look what you did to Keeion!""I-I didn't me
Keeion’s POV“Ellie is in danger right now. If you want to go to her, this is the exact address where she is now. Hurry up because she is in danger.”I stood up in shock and nervousness that I felt after I read the text message from the unknown number. That person just texted and I immediately read it because I was currently holding my cell phone."Keeion, is there a problem?" Tedson asked.Even he was shocked at my attitude. We were currently talking about the company’s operations so it surprised me when I suddenly stood up."Someone messaged me," I said.I don’t know if I’ll believe it right away. This came from an unknown number and messages are widespread today that if not scams or chain messages are pure threats."Oh, what did that person say?" he inquired after he closed the folder it held. He first stopped reporting to me to find out what message I had received."Ellie is in danger right now."He frowned. "What?" he asked aloud. “Who said that? How is Ellie in danger, didn’t yo
Ellie’s POV“What is it, Sydney? Let's stop this. Let go of Ellie and let's stop our plan. The outcome will not be good. This will lead to the worst situation so please, let's end this!”“Are you thinking, Cyfer? Are we going to stop now when we are about to get what we want?”I woke up to the shouting of two people near me.My head was still aching so I didn't get up right away. I could feel what was around me. I also rolled my eyes to every corner of the room where I am now. Its door was open so I could hear the two talking.Where am I?What did they do to me?I remember the last thing that happened earlier. Anger welled up in me when I remembered Sydney covering my mouth with a handkerchief causing me to lose consciousness. I meant what she did to stop me from knowing what Cyfer wanted to say earlier. And what happened next? They brought me here to this place? It’s not familiar to me so there’s probably a chance they hid me here.I was about to get up to leave this place when I was
Ellie’s POV"What are you doing here?" There was a tremor in his voice.Sydney's reaction was startled when she turned to see me. Her eyes widened in shock so she stood up at the same time. She was holding the back of the chair while looking at me.Even its companion could not believe that they were facing me now. They never thought I would catch them here. That in the crowd, they will still see me in this restaurant. Well, I was also surprised. We were both just surprised. After all, I should have been the most surprised of them.I mean, they really have a connection. The reaction of the two of them was not normal. If they have nothing to hide, this is not how they will act. They shouldn't be surprised or even apprehensive even though I've learned from them. Why are they nervous if they have nothing to hide, right? No matter who catches them they know, that’s just nothing. They just prove that my guess is true.“I should be asking you that, Sydney. What are you doing here?” My gaze f
Ellie’s POVEven before they came out, I could see Sydney. It was really the courage of her to kiss Keeion right in front of me. Because she has something in her hand that is important. Without that, Keeion probably wouldn’t have let her do that. I know Keeion how much he respects me. He can’t afford to hurt me, especially right in front of me. But that earlier, I understand because he had to act in front of Sydney as he wished.I didn't follow what Sydney wanted to happen. Yeah, that sounds pretty crap to me. Looks like Keeion ain't for me either. We will not separate so easily. We will not part just for Sydney.Sydney is just having fun now. She was so excited because as far as she knew, she had already gotten Keeion from me. Doesn’t she wonder that it’s just that easy? The day Keeion finds out who the person behind the destruction of his name is, he won’t even hesitate to stay away from Sydney. Keeion didn't say a word about the agreement he had with Sydney. After all, Keeion wants
Keeion’s POVI didn’t even wait for Sydney to speak on the other line. I dropped this call after I said my decision. Maybe she's smiling now because she's got the answer she wants from me. This is exactly what she has always wanted. Now that she has figured out a way to make what she wants easier, this is what she does to me. I’m aware that she’s manipulating me. She uses what she knows to get me. She knows as much as this is my weakness at these times and there is a good chance I will give in to her. What she was planning has already happened.I sighed and put the cellphone down on the bed. I went to the glass window of the bedroom to view the quiet night city where we were. Massive buildings can be seen from below and bright shops that are open 24/7. I stayed there for a few minutes to calm down and be able to think clearly.I don’t like what Sydney is doing to me. I don’t want to do the things she makes me do. But for the sake of clearing my name and saving the credibility of the c
Sydney’s POVAfter I said what I wanted to say to Keeion, I left first. I went out to the coffee shop and left him there. I no longer waited for his answer because I wanted to give him time to think.There's a high chance that he will reject me right away. So I'd better leave him as soon as he thinks carefully about what I'm offering. I knew how much he wanted to get what I told him so I still didn’t lose hope of using that weakness of his.Well, I just told him I knew who the person behind it all was. I know the person who is ruining his name in the company. I know the person who made that transaction in his personal account.His reaction before is still fresh in my mind. He was eager to know who that person was. Perhaps until now, it still doesn’t catch on who it is. Most likely, that transaction was done well and cleanly. They have no trace available there to trace who made it. So he was just so excited when I announced that I already knew this person. But the joy on his face also
