Zavier's POVSecretary...What can I do but watch her on stage, smiling sweetly in front of the cameras that flash one after the other to take pictures of her wearing her beautiful wedding dress?Something that suits her, her beauty comes out even more. At that time, I wanted to hug her, tell her how beautiful she is while wearing the bridal gown she worked so hard to show off to all the people here today... But I can't.I firmly clenched both my hands and tried to stop the tears that were about to flow out of my eyes, at times like this I was once again slapped by the fact that the world we live in is different.Maybe it's better if I just leave here first and don't watch them, I don't want him to see me like a wretch on the sidelines. I also know that eyes are watching me, I don't want to look more ridiculous to his family.I walked out of the venue, and when I got to the lobby a man's voice echoed around."Wow!" I turned to hear the voice of one of my friends, his face couldn't be
Lorain's POVEven before the event is over, it is already very popular and the two's names are already heard in the news, social media, and everywhere else. Along with that is the spread of bridal gowns which has become an advantage of Jamie's company.It's the first bidding and many people are already competing, I don't know if it's to brag that they have a lot of money or to brag on social media that they bought one of the bridal gowns tonight as proof that they're here."That's Jamie, isn't it?" Raziel asked as he pointed to a woman in the lobby, her secretary was with her. "It seems like they are fighting, should we go and ask them?"He was about to take a step when I stopped him, I quickly shook my head when I noticed something in the looks of the two of them. "I think, we have no right to interfere with the two of them. Let's let them talk first, after all, we don't know anything about what's going on.""You think? Jamie is about to cry, what if there is a big problem?""W-Well,
Everything I need to bring for my return abroad is ready, we have decided that Raziel and I will meet at the airport. Asa hotel almost all my things, while he was at his house.We were supposed to meet yesterday but it didn't work out because there were too many problems he had to fix before leaving his business here suddenly, well, he won't be staying in another country for good right away.I sat on the sofa when my eyes again hit the envelope that arrived yesterday, I don't know if I should laugh or what because I received an invitation from Jamie for her and Jake's wedding today."He really sent me something like this, too bad the paper looks expensive." I smelled it and as expected the fragrance was nice.I turned to the door when someone knocked there, I immediately stood up to see who it was through the small hole. There was no talk of Raziel coming here, I felt a little nervous because of that."Lorain? It's me, Craig." He knocked again while saying that, the nervousness buildi
"Hurry up, move slowly!" One of the men pushed me in, not even caring about me. He doesn't care if I get hurt or not by the way he obeys me, I can't stop myself from giving him a bad look."What are you looking at?!" He asked and hit me on the cheek with the gloves he was holding, there was no sign of restraint because I could feel his palm which was now painful and hot.“Hey, hey! Take it, easy bro, our boss didn't say anything that we can hurt her, another thing is to look at her skin and face." He caressed my arm with his slightly rough fingers, "it should be taken care of like this." He even licked the area around his lips as if he was hungry.It was like I was poured with ice water because of what he said and did, I tried to distance myself from them but it was very impossible to do that. "Who ordered you to do this, tell me!" I screamed.The man immediately covered my mouth and slammed the door shut, "Look, do you want someone to hear you? You are beautiful but your mouth is so
"Well, well." His smile was wide as he walked into the room where we were, there was no trace of pity or anything on his face. Instead, he was very happy to see my condition, "That's right, you look better like that."The man in front of me stood up straight and bowed, "Good evening boss, as we talked about, we brought him here. Maybe we can get the rest of your payment because that's what we're talking about." His voice was polite compared to earlier when he was talking to me.John focused his attention on the man and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be too nervous, I will give my promise as the price of our conversation. But your work isn't done yet so I won't give the money yet.""W-What do you mean?" He asked curiously, even his colleagues were concerned. "The talk is that we will take her and give her to you, that's all we agreed about. After everything, you will pay in full.”"Well, the agreement has changed now." He smirked."Huh?!" The man asked annoyed earlier, "What change
I am now sitting in the living room facing a man I only met today, he is wearing a suit while carrying a black bag. "I'm sorry for being late, Mrs. Andres.” He said politely while taking out an envelope from his bag and handing it to me.I already have an idea of what it is but I can't stop the pain in my chest, as if something is squeezing my heart. my cold and trembling hand slowly reaching out and opening the paper he gives to me."You can check the agreement, Mrs. Andres. If there's something you don't like, we can change it immediately the way you want, also, if the amount you will get is not enough then, I can also increase it to your satisfaction." He casually said without thinking, “But that is all I can do, so please cooperate.”I bit my lower lips hard until I could feel the pain to hold back the tears that wanted to fall from my eyes, "w-won't he even see me and at least talk about this?"I was ashamed…I was ashamed of myself as I heard my voice still obviously desperate f
“Idiot!” The old woman shouted at me loudly, I could feel the heat of the soup on my thigh as she slapped the bowl when I tried to feed her. "I told you, I'm not hungry!""But ma'am, you need to eat before you take your medicine," I said calmly despite what she did, I needed to calm myself to keep this job.It's been one month since I left and went abroad, and I chose to become a caregiver. I would like to build a business but it's hard for me to gamble with the only money I have, it would be better if I save up for now."I don't want to take more medicine, let me just die!" She yelled at me again and lay down, almost every day we both had this scene.It's hard, it's tiring, and sometimes I get even worse from her tantrums, but I can't complain."I can't do that ma'am, it's been months since I got here. Since I was raised in an orphanage, I'm longing for a mother so, taking care of you is like I'm taking care of my parent." That's the truth, no matter how angry she is, I still want to
“Welcome aboard!” The flight attendant greeted me with a smile before I exited the plane, warm sunlight greeted me. Even the air is very warm, and refreshing. It’s been so long since I left here, I’d never thought I would come back here.I took off my jacket, I didn't want to pass out because of the heat. Years already passed by just like that, after I inherited everything, I decided to stay for years there. But since I finally have my own business, I need to come back here for the business project.I didn't think that the business I started would grow after the death of Ms. Hilton, I didn't expect it to have branches in different countries, especially here."Ms. Hilton?” A male voice called out to me, "You are finally here." He immediately showed me a sweet smile."Mr. Ramirez?” I'm a little unsure, we talk at every meeting but it's only via video chat."Yes, but please let's put down the formality. Call me, Raziel.” He walked over to me to help me with my suitcases. "Have you reserv
