Keeion’s POV“From this day forward, you can start working with me. I’m hiring you now as my personal assistant.”After I said that, I turned my back on her and went inside the mansion. She did not follow me and remained standing where she had been before. I went straight to the kitchen to have breakfast.I would have had breakfast earlier if Aunt Cora hadn't just told me that Ellie wasn't in her room. Aunt was about to call Ellie to wake up and have breakfast when she found no one in the room.She immediately told me.I immediately forgot about my hunger and immediately looked for Ellie.To be honest, I felt afraid that Ellie might run away from this house.But my nervousness was also removed when I saw her in the hut with Cyfer. I don’t know how to react at that time. I badly want to hug her, but why should I?I should control myself.Perhaps because of my rashness, I could do something unfavorable and could ruin what I now keep.I know Ellie is smart. And I have to be even more car
Ellie’s POV"Let's go."After Keeion said that, he didn’t say permission before holding my hand. This is exactly what he did to me before and now he is repeating it again.He would just grab me all of a sudden.Does he have takeahandism disease, huh?He'll just take my hand anytime he wants. I'm just going to be shocked because of what it takes."Where will we go?" I asked when I stood up."We will go to plantations."He also immediately took his eyes off me after answering my question. But my hand, he was still holding. I will not run away and I will follow him so why does he have to hold my hand?But to be honest, I feel secured in his arms.His hand was soft and obviously Son-rich. Also with the size of his palm, he could occupy my entire palm. He didn't hold me tight either and I could pull my hand back if I wanted to. But I myself refused to let go of his grip.There is a part of me that I love the way he holds my hand. If he does it daily, it will become my addiction for sure."
Ellie’s POVI was in the middle of staring at the ceiling when I remembered what happened yesterday. I remembered again what Arya gave me.I turned to my side and saw the withering daisy flower there.There I laid the flower on the side table of my bed last night. I intentionally left it there airy before I hid it on the book page. I can't understand why I didn't throw it away and I actually chose to take it home to the mansion.What is there in the flower that Keeion gave?Arya told me, so Keeion gave me the flower because I seemed to be the one presented by the daisy flower. Probably because of the design of my bracelet so he said that. That’s where he got that idea so after all, I just don’t have to have it. I shouldn’t be making a big deal of that thing.I reached for the flower and examined it while still lying down.I had no plans to get up yet so I made the most of the time by staring at the cluster of flowers first.“What do you have and why do I want to hide you? Why it stuck
Arya’s POV"Oh, what, is everything ready?" Uncle Luisito couldn't help but come back inside, accompanied by applause to get the attention of us all. He came from outside and was already looking forward to Aunt Cora's entry to carry out what we had planned earlier.“We are already ready, Uncle. Aunt Cora is the only one missing,” I said.“That is what I want to say. I saw the oncoming tricycle he was riding. So get ready because it will soon come here.”Keeion arranged to order Aunt Cora to shop for groceries in town when the surprise we were planning was ready. It was good and we were able to get Keeion to join in this surprise. After all, when it comes to Aunt Cora, he can't disagree. Aunt was so strong to him.When we woke up earlier and reached Aunt in the kitchen, no one greeted Aunt. Not because we don’t remember if ‘not because that’s what we talked about last night with everyone here today in the mansion. We would pretend to have forgotten his birthday in order to make the gim
Ellie’s POV"Hey, what happened to you?" I looked at Arya as we sat side by side now on the couch on the balcony of the second floor. We can see from here the vast land of the hacienda. "You haven't said a word there earlier," I added.She turned me on. She shot me a startled look. “Huh? Nothing."I'm unsatisfied with her answer, so I examined her by reading her eyes. I stared at it and for a moment Arya immediately averted her eyes. She could not stand my critical stares.“Sure you don’t? Why can I read in your eyes that there is?”She gently slapped me on the arm. “Seriously? What are you, eye reader?”She laughed at her own joke. I accompanied it with laughter because even I, I also couldn't handle her eye reader."Because after Keeion said that Tedson was coming, you almost didn't say a word," I started. "You just heard his name, you're almost dumb."Her eyes widened and she looked ready to defend herself. “You, Ellie, ha! You're giving a malice.” She hurt me in a nice way. I didn
Tedson’s POVThirty minutes passed and we were well halfway to Puhon Falls. My foot is also a bit sore from the uphill and rocky road caused by the landslide three years ago. That incident has been going on for a long time and that is why we have only just returned here. Puhon Falls just opened because this part of the mountain was made safe."My foot hurts, Uncle Luisito," complained James, the young worker on the coconut plantation. He was also Uncle Luisito's frequent roommate at the hacienda and Keeion and I were also close to him because of his mischievous behavior which we immediately liked."I told you, don't come because it takes a long time to walk to the falls. It will take us an hour,” said Uncle.I just walked next to them and we were in the back.Even though James was purely complaining, he still continued to walk.“Do you want to just stay here? We'll just pass you tomorrow, what?” I suggest. I feel like I’m smart in that part.“As for you, Sir Tedson, you are not joking
Arya’s POV"Tedson called you earlier, won't you pay attention?"I looked at the person next to me when he spoke. Maybe even he was tired of Tedson's loud shouts. How? Was he shouting as we walked and he was saying my name.Like a fool!“Arya! Why don't you wait for me? Why are you walking faster, huh?” he complained. “Were you a horse in your past life? You thought that man was racing with you."I still ignored it."Let him. It's just that he's just bored, so I'm the one he's paying attention to now," I turned to Cyfer.Earlier, we walked together because we could not stop talking about the plants and animals we passed. I didn't know that Cyfer and I were both nature lovers, so we became even closer now. We exchanged knowledge about nature and kept telling stories about the groups we had joined in the past that were wandering around nature.I wasn’t even bored talking to him because we weren’t missing the topic. This one is also talkative, unlike his cousin who only knows how to get
Keeion’s POV“Ellie! Come here! ” Arya called loudly.Arya had just come out of the bathroom and had changed into a bathing suit. As expected, he prepared to wear it again. She was wearing a black swimsuit that matched her skin color. She was confident in what she’s wearing. There was no trace of shame she felt even when we looked at her. In the few years that we have been together, she can do everything she wants in front of us without feeling deprived. She also brings out the real her when we are with her.“My gosh, look! What a nice view!” The person next to me was shocked when Arya confronted us. She was not looking in our direction and the sight was on her path. She was focused there because the rocks there were a bit slippery. This was not difficult because a man was there to help those who wanted to go down to the water to take a bath. It supports Arya until she can paddle in the water."You, Sir Tedson, I can already see you." James ignored the food he was chewing when it spo
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
