Facing them was her family, while seated beside her was Zeus. She felt Zeus's hold on her hand. He squeezed it slightly, causing her to look at him. She saw the seriousness in his face. Was he going to marry her? It wasn't necessary, given that being a single parent is common nowadays. She didn't want him to feel forced. She wanted to protest, but her parents and brother didn't allow her to object.So, just one week later, their wedding was set before a judge. She was happy throughout the entire ceremony. Zeus was being gentle and sweet to her. He was always attentive to her. He really fulfilled his role as a husband and father to the child she was carrying. He always accompanied her wherever she went."Do I really have to go to the city? Can I just stay here with my grandparents?" she pleaded with her husband. She didn't want to be separated from them, especially now that her pregnancy was delicate."My job is there, Winter. I need to be there," Zeus explained to her. She nodded sadl
It was sunny outside. And Candice eyes was sparkling with anticipation. Today is the scheduled arrival of her boyfriend Brandon after attending a one week conference in Singapore for the aspiring engineers. He was currently the head engineer of Harrison Construction where she was also employed as an accounting staff. She was looking outside her window when Candice decided to dial her boyfriend's phone number, she can't wait to say hello to him because she misses him so damn much! it's been seven days since she last saw him. She heard his phone ring three times before Brandon answer it. " Hello. " His voice was hoarse as if he just woke up from sleep. " Hey, Babe! What's up? Are you going to pick me up in my place ? " Candice said sweetly. She couldn't wait to see him. Her heart starts to beat fast just the mere sound of his voice. ' So excited to finally see him.' She thought. Then, she heard him clear his throat." I'm sorr
Brandon frowned when he saw Candice talking to a nerd guy. He wanted to laugh at them but he restrained himself. It is so unprofessional of him if he will do it in the presence of his employees. So he disregard what he saw and continued heading to his private office.His eyes form into thin line when he saw the guy massage Candice's shoulders. Something seemed to rise up inside of him. His blood suddenly boiled at what he saw. But then, he realized that all his employees knew nothing about their relationship. He sighed and leaned back to his swivel chair. He dialled her phone. His eyes didn't leave the cctv monitor from his private office. He saw everything Candice did in her desk. The way she smiled sweetly to that nerd. He then saw her pick up the telephone." Harrison Construction, how may I help you? " He heard her sweet and soft voice from the other line. " Come to my office, now !" He said angrily. He clenched his fist. " O-Okay. " He saw her bit her lower lip. She looked ten
" Damn! What have I've done? " He hit the table in front of him. It happened so fast that he couldn't control his outburst. He even saw the way Candice hugged the man and was surprised by his actions. " Shit ! " He cussed. Shouldn't he be happy now because he and Candice were over ? This is what he wants to happen, to end their relationship. Why did he feel like there was a pinch in his conscience ? It's good that they are separated now, his problem is gone and what happened to them was to his advantage. He will not be branded as a cheater for reconcilling with his greatest love Arlene. Now, he is free to show the whole world his true love. But he cannot forget her face when he saw her plead with tears in her eyes. Everything they've shared was not that important to him, maybe for Candice but not for him. Now, he try to divert his attention to his paper works more than focusing on Candice. Later on his mind was pre-occupied with his work and successfully dismissed her from his th
She studied him. Zach changed a lot especially the physical part. She just noticed it now that he was a handsome man. How come she didn't see it when they were always been together before? Because his always been a big brother to you. Said her mind.Okay. She agreed." What brings you here, Candice? I thought you'll be living your greatest dream in the city? " He sounded sarcastic. He seemed very formal when talking to her even his face was stoic. " Zach. What's wrong with you? Are you mad at me for leaving you? And I thought you understood. " She sighed. She couldn't beleive they are arguing right now. " Do I have the right, Candice? You're always near to me if you have a problem, I felt like I was just your bodyguard and not your friend. " Her mouth parted. He literally leave her stunned. She had no idea he felt that way. " I, I don't know what to say, Zach." She met his gaze and saw the sadness in there. " I'm so sorry Zach if you felt that way. " She automatically reached for h
He's tired and he need a break. Four years had past. Today is here thirty first birthday, his friends brought him in that place to enjoy. Because he's been living his life like hell for the past years and for the sole reason that he didn't find her. Candice must be good in hiding. He thought. She succeeded in hunting his life. He lived with celibacy, and his organ didn't function well. " Feel free to choose what you want, bro! " It was his noisy friend Jake. Like him he was still single at the aged of thirty-two and he seems enjoying playing with girls. He was once like that before not until he met Candice. " Nah, I'll just stay here, man. Thanks for the offer. " Brandon said weakly. " Okay, got to go. " " Sure. " Brandon answered. He was enjoying his martini when a woman entered the vicinity of Martha's Hotel and Resort. The woman with red bikini captured his attention. She looked wickedly sexy with her outfit. And he couldn't take his eyes off her. When she turns to face him, B
He was at his cottage when he receive a call from his PA. " Positive, sir. We found miss Candice Villanueva! She's currently living in Hacienda Villanueva ten kilometers away from Martha's Hotel and Resort together with her mom and dad. She's the only heir to the Villanueva Empire in this province. Miss Villanueva is quite famous in this place, sir. " " Yeah. " He figured that out because her family is the wealthiest in this province. He'd heard of that family name before but he didn't know that his fat nerd of a girlfriend before is very rich. He thought she was just a simple employee to his company. " Thank you, I'll take it from here. My secretary will give you the paycheck tomorrow. " " Thank you, sir. Let us know if you need our help in the future. "" I will definitely do that. Bye. " He inhaled deeply to relax himself. He felt that the burden he'd carry for the past years was lifted. He promise to himself that this time he will never be an arrogant bastard to Candice. This
" What is that man doing here, Candy? " Zach creased his forehead as he pout his lips towards Brandon's direction. " Leave him, Zachy. " Candice tap his arm smiling. " I've been telling him to stop coming here but he's just so stubborn. I know he's not used to this kind of work but he insisted it. So, I let him. Let's see if he will give up . " Her eyes twinkling. She thought of something. " Why don't we go to the resort? Let's leave him here and take a dip at the river." She convinced him. " Why not? It's summer now, a good swim in the river will relax our minds." Zach agreed with her. The two of them went to Zach's pick up that was parked in the car port." Hey! Where are you going guys? " It was Brandon calling them while waving his hands. But they just ignore him. They didn't bothered inviting them either. Brandon clinched his fists. He's mad! He felt like strangling the neck of that son of a bitch. If he didn't know the real score between
