Marianne focused on her task, but then she couldn't take Felix out of her mind."What am I doing? Why do I think of him?" she asked herself and then shook her head.As the door opened, Miguel was there. He smiled at her. "Are you doing well? You look bothered," he said, but Marianne managed to smile in front of him."I'm fine, Sir. Don't worry about me.""Are you sure? You can take a leave if you're not feeling well," he said."I'm really fine.""Okay, if you say so."Miguel then headed out of her office and then went to his.Marianne watched him leave and took a deep breath. "I wanted to be honest with my feelings, but... How can I? I'm afraid to get hurt again."Later that day, Marianne walked down the streets. She wanted to clear up her mind, but then as she was about to continue walking, her eyes saw Felix.He was standing before her, his eyes looking at her. He then avoided his gaze and started to walk away.As Felix passed by her, she could feel the pain. She was hurt once again
Miguel and Marianne were inside the car as they were on their way to the airport where she wanted to talk with Felix before he could leave the country. While on the drive, she felt so nervous and thought what if they might fail to see him? What should she do? Miguel glanced at her, "Hey, you will be fine. I hope we can still see him." Marianne took her phone and dialed his number, but she couldn't reach him. She dialed and sent messages to him, but Felix never responded. She frowned while looking at her phone. "He didn't want to see me, right?" she asked herself and then hung up the call. They were in the middle of the road as they were caught in a long traffic. Marianne looked around, "Marianne, I think we can't be on time," Miguel said to her, but then she took a deep breath and got out of the car. "I'll run. Thank you, Sir. Thank you, Miguel," she said and then started to run on the sidewalk. Miguel smiled as he could see how determined Marianne was to see Felix. "That's
After Felix's departure, Marianne regretted it so much. She was tearing up and sobbing inside her room as she couldn't forgive herself for doing nothing.A knock on the door caught her attention and it was her mother. Emma walked towards her and smiled. "What are you doing? Are you locking yourself up again? Why don't we try to have a vacation together with Ethel and Zoey?"She looked at her, but still, tears welled up in her eyes. "Mom, I regretted it a lot. I should have followed my heart from the very beginning. I should have-""Don't blame yourself. He might be back and if that happens, so, you can talk to him. Tell him about Zoey," she nodded her head and Emma wiped off her tears.In the following days, Marianne was still the same. She had been locking herself inside the room and still wearing a long face. She was so affected by Felix's departure.On the other hand, Ethel got a message from Emma."I'm coming, mother," she texted back.She roamed her eyes around to look for Marcus
Crystal pushed him away. "I'll be surprise. Then, I'll be waiting then," she uttered and she started walking away from him.Nate watched her as she left the place. He then shook his head and walked away.As he arrived at the place where his brother had been buried, he then bowed his head as he lend a bouquet of flowers."Brother, I'm here. Do you know who I just saw?" he sighed. "Crystal, the woman you once loved."Tears started to streamed down his eyes while stroking the tombstone of his brother."She didn't remember me for now, but I will make sure she remembers by the time I'm ready to tell them the truth."Nate kneeled as he felt weakened. He continued sobbing while telling him about his plan of revenge to the family that ruin his life and the reason of his death.Flashback...Crystal and Nate's brother had been dating for months. They had been so happy together and living a normal life.Crystal looked at him with a smile and she teared up at the same time. "Why? What happened? W
Crystal had been tailing Nate for weeks. She had been looking for information about him."What did you find about him?" she asked over the phone as she was talking to a man."I haven't found anything yet, Mam, but then I am still looking into it.""Just make sure to find something and tell me immediately.""I will.""Okay."On the other hand, Nate had been so careful in his tracks. He noticed that someone had been following him.He was inside a coffee shop with a woman when he saw a man who had been keeping an eye on him. He frowned as he sipped his coffee."So, what do we do now?" the woman asked as she was reaching out to his hands. Nate gladly let the woman, touch him as his eyes roamed around the place.The woman noticed that he had been looking outside the shop. "Mr. Brown, are you okay? You look bothered. What's wrong?" she asked and Nate went back to his senses.He then managed a smile and sipped his coffee. The woman smiled at him and reached for his hands. "Should we rent a r
Nate just looked at her and then smiled, "I want that drink, Ethel. The one that you made just for me," he said, but then Ethel refused. "I'm no longer making that drink, Sir. If you don't need anything else, then I will leave now," she was about to walk when Nate grabbed her hands. He genuinely looked at her, "I missed you." It was then that Ethel's eyes started to wet. She was tearing up while looking at the man she used to love before: the man who ghosted her, the man who made her wait. She slowly pulls her hands away from him. "How could you say that when you knew that you're the reason why we broke up!" Nate sighed and looked down, "I'm sorry, Ethel. I was a coward back then, but now, I wanted to make things right. I wanted to be with you again." Ethel scoffed, "For your information, Mister, I am not just a thing that you can throw when you don't need it, and you wanted me back just like that? Who are you to tell me that? Who are you to dictate that we should be back toge
Back at the mansion, Crystal took care of Nate. She shook her head while wiping off his face with a cloth."Why did you drink so much, Mr. Brown? Is something bothering you? Are you hurt? Are you in pain?" she asked while wiping his face.A smile painted on her lips as she looked at his features. "You look so handsome. Why are you making me feel like I wanted to do something I'll regret?"She leaned in closer, but then as they were inches apart, Nate slowly opened his eyes and saw her."W-what are you doing? Why are you here?" he asked, weakly.Crystal swallowed and was taken aback. She then fixed herself. "Ah, I was just helping you out. You passed out on the bar, and-" She was about to continue her sentence when she noticed he fell asleep again.She sighed and shook her head. She then headed back towards him and as she was looking at his face, she then began to remember something.A man was smiling in front of her, they were inside the car, but Crystal wasn't sure where and who was
As Crystal left, Nate's eyes were fixed on her. "Why is she leaving this suddenly? Did something happen?"Nate then followed her outside the mansion. "Ms. Anderson, wait," he called her and she turned her back to him and frowned."M-Mr. B-Brown?" she stuttered."Uh, I wanted to thank you last night. I'm so sorry for the trouble. I didn't want to be troublesome to you and your family, but-""That's fine, Mr. Brown. My family should done better for you. You deserve even better than just that," she said, and Nate was confused."What do you mean?" she asked."Nevermind. I'll be leaving now. I'm sorry," she said and then headed inside the car, leaving Nate confused and hanging in the air.On the other hand, Crystal isn't leaving the country, she will be investigating that accident that happened years ago. She wanted to be sure and wanted to know where her boyfriend was. As she headed into the room she booked in the province, she then opened her laptop and started to look for any news rega
