Bella chuckles at Oliver's remark, which causes Ezekiel to feel upset and irritated. When his buddy confesses in front of his wife, he holds Bella's hand and says, "because you guys know one other, I need to take your wife away from you."
He dragged her out of the restaurant and furiously gripped her hand hard, not understanding she was injured by his hold.
“Ouch, can you just let me go?” She protests, but he keeps going faster until they get to their place, saying, "Hey! What's the matter with you?” She screamed.
He lets go of her hand and looks at her fiercely, asking, "Why are you smiling while he confesses to you?"
“What's wrong in laughing? Do you want me to tell you that I admire him as well?” She inquired.
“You should not have acted indifferently toward him,” he says.
Bella examines
Bella left the room when she heard the door open; she walked in on tiptoe and peeked; she discovered him changing into slippers and carrying bags of groceries. "Why did he buy so many groceries? Didn't he see that the refrigerator was completely full?” She was studying him with interest from afar because she saw that he was looking in the direction she was hiding. “Why are you hiding there?” “Come and put them in the kitchen,” he commands, and she shows up and walks over to him to grab the goods he purchased. “Why did you buy so many of these? Our fridge is full,” she laments. “It's because... I don't want you to go hungry,” he softly answered while handing her the plastic bags of goods and smiling at her before leaving her without even waiting for his response. &nbs
The married couple had so much pleasure strolling, touring, and dining together that they nearly forgot the clock was ticking since they were so focused on living and enjoying the present. Bella was relieved that he didn't ask for a return this time, but he was concerned about her and said, "Are you tired?"“Not really,” she responded hesitantly. “If you're weary, we can go home now,” he advised.“Sure,” she said. They were on their way back to their house when Bella said, "May I know the reason for bringing me out?"“Why? “Are you not happy?” He asks her back.She smiles at him and says, "I'm delighted, but... I've been wondering all day, "Why did you bring me with you?" She made an intriguing statement.“Because I want to… make you happy,” he replied
When Li Na went to see her friend's parents, she noticed Mrs. Chen drinking coffee in the garden with Mrs. Wright. She approached them and said, "Good morning, auntie!" She smiled at them.The two elderly women looked at her and returned her greeting of "good morning."“Who is this lovely person, Emily?” Anastasia inquires about admiring her attractiveness.Emily casts a peek at her buddy, who is standing and beaming at them, and, "she's Li Na, Bella's friend. She is one of the best designers in our country,” she says.“Wow! You are amazing. Come sit next to us,” Anastasia invites her, she looks at Mrs. Chen who nods at her as if saying the same word with her friend.She did as they requested and sat in the chair next to them, saying, "Auntie, I brought pie," as she placed th
When Ezekiel heard his phone ring, he told her, "Let me answer this call, finish your dinner," and exited the dining room. She had her doubts about the caller's identity because it was the first time someone had phoned him during their lunch break, and he had answered the phone.“Gillian, Gillian, who is she?” she asks as she eats another piece of meat and bites the edge of a chopstick. Bella waited in the dining room for a few minutes, but he still hadn't returned.She pushed her chair back and stood up, clutching the bowl and chopstick she had been using, “you are not yet through eating,” he said as he came behind her.“How did you know I wasn't going to finish?” She inquires, irritably.“There's still some food left,” he says, “and? Do you think I'm a pig to finish it all?” She questioned him angrily.“I’m not saying th
It was a lovely morning, with the grasses waving in the wind and birds singing and soaring above.The chilly air embraces her entire body as she continues to move her feet, her sweat is all over her body, she’s catching her breath as she continues to move forward. Her heart increases and her system is getting aggressive to moves faster.“Finally I reached you!” Ezekiel says as he keeps on following her to jog around the park, she glances at him and pauses when Gillian suddenly shows up in front of them.“Hi, what a coincidence!” she said smiling, her husband smile at her back. Bella twisted her lips and whisper, “If I know you guys already planned it yesterday when you phone him”She dashed forward, leaving them behind; he still attempts to catch up with her, but Gillian diverts his attention. As she rushes, his wife observes that she is the only female
“Are you following me?” He accused her and smirked as he watched Li Na's response to seeing him. The girl was taken aback by his audacity in accusing her of following him, and she attempts to calm down before responding to his allegation. She faked a grin and stated, "I'm not. I had no idea you were a well-known model in New York City.”Even though her expression tells him that she is innocent and unaffected by him, Zachary continues to disbelieve her.“Why?” he asks conceitedly.She approaches him and stares him in the eyes as if she admires him, which causes him to gaze at her soft lips, “because, you don't seem like one,” she sarcastically insulted him then smirk.He was enraged when she said it to his face, and he questioned her, "Am I not beautiful to your eyes?"She chuckles at him, th
Everyone in the building is watching her as she walks firmly along the corridor; some have returned to resume their work as soon as she passes by each office, while others are in a rush after seeing her from afar.She pushed open the glass entrance to the conference room and faced the individuals who were waiting and sitting inside, yelling, “did you inform anyone before making such a tough decision?!” Her voice echoed in the four corners of the room. Great anger can be seen through her face, her eyebrows lowered, and baring her teeth.“I'm sorry, Mrs. Wright, but we... We become impulsive in our decision-making at the moment and neglect to tell the head,” Ron apologizes.She smirks at his pathetic excuse, "How can you have forgotten to notify the head? In the first place, they should be the ones who make the decision, not you!” She screamed. Julia knocks on the door and enters t
She was puzzled when he pulls her inside the supermarket and grabs a shopping cart, she can’t do anything but follow him every step for he was holding her hand. Her eyes were suddenly fixed into his flawless face while she was letting him to pulls her as if she was under his spell.When they arrived at the bread and bakery department, he paused and let go of her hands; she was merely studying him while he was busy loading a bundle of bread into their cart.His gaze landed on her when she touches his hand, he felt his heart skips fast, he panicked pulled his hand away from her, “what—what are you doing?” he stammers.“I’m just curious why all of a sudden you brought me here to buy groceries where we still have a stock in our house?” she said then look at her back and cheerfully smiles as she spotted her favorite bread.“I’m leaving,” he breat

Everything feels like a dream… A roller coaster ride that is full of excitement. It is still vivid in my memories of how I struggle to fight for my dream, I am thinking every night about how I could end this misery, and I don’t know what to do after I finish my studies since business isn’t my passion. I realized that I wouldn’t get this far if I stay in my comfort zone and live my life following the rules. I am glad that I have the courage to take a small step. And I didn’t realize that the small step I took would finally change my entire life… and brought me to you. As I walk to it, I have decided to leave the shadow that’s obstructing me to aim for my biggest dream. I attempted to escape from the past but it keeps on haunting me and fate accompanies me to you. I have known a lot of people in a vast strange country to my eyes but you are one of t
“I think I found out why she’s being frustrated,” Julia stated. “What is it about?” Julia whispers to her what she’s thinking about their friend, Bella came back and is quietly seated. They stand beside her and curiously stared at her, “Bella. Would you mind telling us how long you are dating Ezekiel?” Li Na questioned her. She cocked her head to her friend as she stared at her furiously, “why do you want to know?” “We just want to know how long are you guys dating since you got back together,” Julia puts her hands on her waist while Bella is fanning herself with her hand. “Exactly! Also, we wanted to know when will you two getting married because you guys are getting older. You should hurry,” Li Na added. “Precisely! If I didn’t lie two years ago to him, I’m sure till now he’s still not making an action to chase you,” Julia stated.
"At first, I didn’t believe in love at first sight but when I met you, I believe in everything even the pigs don’t actually fly." He chuckled, his hands were shaking while he was reading the vow in front of everyone. "Also, I don’t plan on getting married, but the moment you stepped into my life, my world spin around and my plans had magically changed as if God had given me an angel to lighten my worthless existence. Now that I have you in my life, I promise to hold your hand tightly even if a disaster comes to break us apart; I will continue to stand by you and defend you. I love you now, tomorrow, and every day, Li Na."Bella can’t help herself from crying after hearing his pledge, as if she’s the one getting married at that moment. Her ex-spouse offers her a tissue. Her ex-husband hands her a tissue. She took it and turned around, brushing her tears away as the priest asked the pair to kiss.They gathered at
Julia joyfully rushed to the door to see Bella, but she was shocked and her grin vanished when she saw Amanda and Ezekiel being very sweet and laughing with each other. She shifted her gaze across the road and saw Bella Chen, who had just gotten out of her vehicle. Her grin returned as she saw her friend turning back and preparing to flee. "BELLA!!!" She shouted aloud her name, causing the two to turn around and gaze behind them.She is wearing a white shirt beneath her long-sleeved sky blue coat, which is paired with a sky blue mini-skirt, and flat shoes. Her foot is still bandaged, and her curly hair is disheveled as if she brushed it with her finger.
"Callista?!!" Felicity and the models called out her name, seeing her prostrated on the ground. Her barefoot were badly injured and bleeding. They rushed up to the distraught designer, who was sobbing uncontrollably. Ezekiel's staff and brother saw how he abandoned her on the side of the road. Matthew saw how hurt she was just like his brother years ago when he was forced to sign the divorce papers. He witnessed how Ezekiel was wasted, intoxicated, and tormented. It was the most heartbreaking incident that her colleagues witnessed. She was always happy, reserved, and mysterious when they were in France, but when she stepped off the plane in New York, she became unstable and emotional. "What happened to you? How did you get the wound on your left foot?" Felicity worriedly asked. "And where are your shoes?" Zoe wondered. Her tears streamed down her cheeks in torrents. Her body shook unsteadily
The Paris Fashion models, together with their most prestigious designer, have arrived at the venue and are preparing all the things they need for the fashion show. While Felicity is talking with the system and lighting technician, Ezekiel and his team have also arrived. They are invited to watch the fashion show."Mr. Wright, we’ve met again," When Felicity greets him, he nods at her. He had no idea why she greeted him till he remembered that they had already met before at the hotel.Some of the visitors invited to the event are the reporters. They are sitting in the front row while the audience is sitting at the bottom, and others are standing, like Ezekiel, who was observing from the corner. "I can’t wait to see Miss Callista," he heard the teenager say as they wen
Felicity seemed to notice Callista being silent the whole journey all the way to the hotel. "How are you feeling, Callista?" She inquires."I'm... alright," she simply replied.Felicity gave the medicine to her when they reached their room. "You have to take it wherever you go.""Thank you," she accepted the medicine. She laid down her body on the bed, trying to go back to sleep, but her mind was in trouble. Her thoughts keep on thinking about him and keep on asking herself how he is doing now, turning her body back and forth, but her eyes are wide awake while everybody is already asleep. She turns on the music playlist on her phone as she plugs an earphone into her ears. She listened to the songs till her eyes got tired and closed on their own."Ezekiel! I’m sorry for leaving you before. I realized that I love you after a long time of being separated from you. Can you give me a chance to b
The W Design Studio has received a new project from an international client, which will be hosted in New York City. Their client requested a fashion stage four feet wide and two-thirds the length of the space. They also went through the specifics with them. Ezekiel intended to delegate the project to his employees, but when he heard that Callista would be the one to utilize the venue, he took on the task himself. They have given months to finish the project and the customer will notify them when they arrive in NYC and use it. He also offered a sound and light system to their package even though it is not included. The studio had been very busy doing the project. Ezekiel wanted it to be perfect to impress their customer and make it more suitable for the designer’s idea because he is also a fan of Callista and wanted to have a short conversation with the designer.
