I took a deep breath and without a word, knelt down in front of them.

"Please forgive me for what I've done. Whatever the consequence, I'll accept it." My eyes were blurry, I couldn't hold back the tears.

But I didn't hear an answer from them. The lady quickly pulled me up from kneeling.

"Leave that good-for-nothing alone. I don't want to see her face in this house again!"

It felt like I was being burned when Madam let go of me. Our eyes met for a moment. Her eyes were filled with tears. I didn't know if it was anger or pity for me.

She quickly averted her gaze and returned to her seat.

"What are you waiting for? Get out of here and don't ever show your face to my son again!"

@@@

"Aren't you going to eat? The food will get cold." I heard Rosario's voice again from outside my room.

It had been a week since I returned to our apartment. After that incident, I immediately went back to Argo's condo to pack my things. I left all the things Madam bought for me, even the thi

    PictureI took an early bus to Batangas. My training starts on Monday, and I have one day to prepare for work.The apartment I'll be staying in is just a block away from the restaurant Andra owns. Rent, water, and electricity are covered by their company, but food isn't included. I think she specifically exempted me from the bills because she knows I can't afford to pay.I sighed as I stopped in front of the closed apartment door. I looked at both corridors, which were sparsely populated and seemed indifferent to whoever the newcomer was.Besides, it's not like the building I left where everyone would crane their necks to be nosy when there was a new arrival.Shaking my head, I opened the door and went inside. The apartment is small, just right for one person. There's a small living room that fits a sofa set and a TV stand, and a dining area on the other side. On the left is the kitchen, just big enough to move around. There's a small refrigerator there. Beside it is the bathroom, and

    First Day I was at the restaurant early. I went straight to the office for a quick interview. "Natalia Punongbayan, 23 years old. Single and business management undergraduate." My lips tightened as the restaurant manager read my bio. My hands were clasped tightly in my lap because of my extreme nervousness. She glanced at me and slightly lowered her reading glasses. "Yes, Ms. Punzalan." I finally took courage to answer. "Your only experience is working at a food stall? There's nothing else written here?" My lips twitched. I saw her raise an eyebrow at me. "Yes, ma'am." "Hmm... Okay, since the owner herself recommended you, even though you don't qualify for the job, I'll take you in. Three days of training, with allowance you'll receive daily. Then you can start as a regular employee." My eyes widened at her words. "Thank you so much, ma'am!" "I don't want you to be lazy at work, and avoid gossiping during work hours." She raised her eyebrow at me again. "Yes, m

    We both turned to the manager, Ms. Punzalan, who was squinting at us. "Ah, nothing, ma'am. Natalia's just waiting for Mr. Falcon's order!" Shiela quickly handed me the order I was waiting for. I immediately went to Mr. Falcon's table. "Here's your order, sir. Enjoy your food." I left a smile for him before turning away. I was busy with other customers, I didn't want to get scolded by our manager on my first day of work, so even though I wanted to assist Mr. Falcon when he stood up, I couldn't because of the workload. "Natalia..." I turned to Shiela as I handed the cashier the payment from some customers. "Mr. Falcon gave you a tip. He said to give it to you," she said, her smile almost reaching her ears. I approached her with a furrowed brow. But my eyes widened at the tip she gave me. Shiela handed me a thousand pesos. "I told you, he's a big tipper." She winked at me before going back to work. I looked for the older man, but I think he had already left the resta

    The Encounter My work was busy in the following days. However, we were always swamped with customers, especially when there were events at the hotel where the restaurant was located. Most of the guests would end up here, especially when there were gatherings or tourists arriving at the hotel. Like today, there was a wedding in the conference room, and the wedding was scheduled for tomorrow, so the guests were here today. I could barely feel my feet because they were numb from standing for so long. It would be good if I was wearing flats, but I had to wear heels that were a bit high to look more presentable and decent. The male waiters were the ones carrying trays when they had a lot of items, so I had no problem with that. "Ugh, this day is tiring, imagine it's only noon but my beauty is already gone!" Shiela complained as she sat next to me at the back. It was break time, so I took advantage of the food and the sitting time because I knew there would be a rush of guests l

    "You're the topic on the other shift. They say you're stealing the old man from the other waitresses so you can get the big tips." I shook my head and smiled at her before closing my locker. "Mr. Falcon seems nice, he even invited me for coffee today." Her eyes widened at me, she also covered her mouth. "Don't make it sound like that, I just see him like a father figure." "Oh, come on! I've heard that before. Don't get me started!" She poked my side, making me furrow my brow. "You're crazy, your mind is dirty!" "Just keep me updated, okay?" I didn't bother to respond to her and left the establishment. I found Mr. Falcon talking to some of his bodyguards in the parking lot. He immediately turned to me when one of them whispered to him. I smiled at him and walked towards him. "Let's go?" One of the bodyguards opened the door of his car. Although I was embarrassed, I bowed my head and got in. The old man went around to the other side of the car and sat next to me. My heart r

    Restaurant I was excited to go to work the next day because I knew I would be busy all day because of the wedding that would be held at the YF Building. Actually, the caterers were the ones in charge of the gathering, but because the wedding was so crowded, even though we were supposed to accommodate only 200 people, it seemed like it increased by 50 because of the number of guests who arrived. This building is also known to be popular, they want to experience the royal beauty of the entire hotel. "Did you see Mr. Falcon go down to the lobby?" I asked Shiela when I went to the restaurant at noon. "I didn't notice. But I think not, I'm sure our colleagues will look for you to serve there," she said. I nodded at her and was lost in deep thought. Was he okay? Our separation last night was good, right? I couldn't help but ask myself. "You, you seem to be getting close to Mr. Falcon." She teased me. I flinched at her and rolled my eyes before leaving the restaurant. I knew sh

    I almost collapsed onto the soft bed when I got inside my room, I was too tired to even change clothes. Then, my cell phone rang. I quickly pulled it out of my bag and answered the call. "Natalia, how are you?" Andra's sweet voice greeted me. "I'm fine, I just got home from work," I replied. "I heard there was an event there earlier, and I also heard that you did a great job." My cheeks immediately flushed red. I didn't expect that news to reach her. "It wasn't that great, I just got a few good tips. You know, I used my charm on the customers!" I bragged. "Good to hear that, anyways it's getting late. I just wanted to check on you. Our business partner is coming a bit early tomorrow, we're scheduled to go there tomorrow." I immediately got up, a wide smile on my face. "Really, I'm excited to see you!" I noticed she paused for a moment before answering. "I requested Ms. Punzala to take care of us tomorrow. We plan to stay at the hotel for about a week because we're opening a

    Betrayal Instead of returning to the counter and continuing work, I went straight to the comfort room. I entered the last cubicle and sat down, holding her head. "Damn it, Natalia. Why didn't you think that Argo was the business partner Andra was talking about? Was it just a coincidence that she brought me here? Or maybe she knew we were already separated?" She was confused and couldn't think straight. Should she go back there, or would it be better to just go home? She let out a sigh before finally getting up. "Why do I have to hide and run from him? It's all over between us and I have nothing to hide anymore. So if I see him and Andra, I shouldn't be affected anymore." But why did her heart ache when she saw them together earlier? She could feel her heart being torn apart and butchered many times. She blinked as she noticed a tear rolling down her cheek. She didn't expect the scene earlier to have such a big impact on her. "I know Andra since college days. It's unlik

    I wore a simple peach dress that fell just above my knees. I paired it with wedge heels that were just the right height. Perfect for walking on soft sand. It wouldn't be a problem if I had to take them off. I let my wet hair hang loose and grabbed my sling bag. "Finally, you're done getting ready, let's go?" Andra said, standing up from the sofa. I glanced at Marco, who nodded at me. As we walked down the building, Andra kept talking to Argo. I looked at Marco, and he looked down at me with a soft smile. "I know what you're thinking, attorney." I shook my head and smiled back at him. "Where do you want to go after this?" I looked back at him. I think he just agreed to Andra's request for a double date. "Hmm... Where else, but where there's food!" A grin spread across my lips. "Good..." He even stroked my head, making me smile. . . . We went straight to Argo's yacht, which made my heart beat faster. It was the same yacht we were on when I pretended to be pregnan

    Sunset I couldn't sleep that night. The scene with Argo in his suite kept replaying in my mind. I bit my lip hard and couldn't help but hug my pillow tightly. A smile crept onto my lips. I slowly rubbed my lower lip where Argo had kissed it earlier. But the smile quickly faded when I remembered what Don Patricio had said to me. I had brought so much shame to their family. I don't think they'll ever forgive me for the deception I committed. I sighed. If he really meant those words to me, then why is he with Andra? "Nonsense..." You need to guard your heart, Natalia. The situation is different now. Argo knows your secret, that you're not really pregnant. More importantly, you haven't been absolved of the sins you committed against the Greensmith family. So, while you still have time, stay away from Argo. I closed my eyes tightly. Although I hadn't made a concrete decision, I chose to sleep on my worries. Maybe tomorrow I'll have a better solution to everything. But

    "Thank you for the delicious dinner. Next time I visit, I'll bring you my specialty, sinigang!" "I'll be looking forward to that, hija. I'm sorry I can't walk you down. My bodyguards are here to escort you." "No, it's okay. I'm fine. Besides, it's still early. My hotel is just a few steps away." I shook my head repeatedly. He couldn't do anything as I walked away from his suite. I waved to him, and he went inside. I turned to continue walking but stopped in my tracks. My heart skipped a beat as I looked deeply into his dark eyes. He was leaning against the closed door, arms crossed over his chest. I swallowed and continued walking with my head held high. I was about to ignore him, but he spoke. "I didn't know your taste in men had dropped so low? You'll sleep with anyone as long as they have money?" I stopped walking and turned to face him. Argo smirked while looking down at me. "What did you say?" I narrowed my eyes at him. He straightened up and put his hands in

    I'd been standing in front of my locker for a while, but it felt like my feet weren't even touching the ground. My whole body was numb from the beating I received earlier while facing Argo. No matter how much I tried to ignore what I was feeling, the pain it brought just kept getting deeper. "I think those two are a couple. They went down to the beach together earlier, and take note, they only booked one suite." I let out a sigh after hearing that from my colleagues. They were definitely talking about Argo and Andra. "They seem like a good match, unlike some people out there who pretend to be decent. Turns out they're just gold diggers." I heaved a deep sigh again and closed my locker. I didn't have the energy to argue with their snide remarks. I'd just let them talk until their mouths were tired. I was leaving the restaurant when I noticed Mr. Falcon's bodyguard waiting in the lobby. He approached me when he saw me. "Mr. President wants you in his suite," he told me. I
