"Go back to your apartment."Eloy said goodbye as soon as Jerrald said that. For about three hours, the two of them were busy checking important files for tomorrow morning's important meeting. And finally, it was all done.Jerrald pressed the bridge of his nose. Hoping the soreness in his eyes would lessen. Just as he was about to shut down the laptop in front of him, Jerrald was startled by the news of one of his business partners.He clicked on the headline and was even more surprised to read the article.#CALDER RAMOS, DIRECTOR OF RMS AIRLINES SUED FOR DIVORCE BY HIS WIFE.*Calder Ramos is alleged to have been involved in an affair with his secretary, Margarita Girasol Silva. A beautiful woman who has been his secretary for the past few years. Margarita Girasol Silva is also allegedly the woman who sold her virginity to Calder Ramos when she was seventeen years old.This fact is very surprising to all parties. Moreover, Calder Ramos always looked intimate with his wife—Jerrald sto
Jerrald's eyes narrowed sharply as he saw a photo of a man and woman laughing happily accompanied by the name Leonel Addison on Cia's phone screen. The photo showed the man shirtless while carrying the woman on his back. The woman was wearing a bright blue bikini.Jerrald watched intently. His eyes widened when he realized it was his girlfriend with Leonel Addison.So it's true... Leonel Addison 'that one'???Jerrald's heart felt like it was being squeezed. The photo of the two people was so intimate.Cia's hands were tight around Leonel's neck. While the man's hands were on both of Cia's thighs. Keeping her from falling, perhaps. They both laughed widely facing the camera.Jerrald covered his mouth with one hand. Bad thoughts kept coming to him. Especially after last night's research on Leonel Addison's personal life and some pictures of the man on the internet. The man was no longer young, but still very handsome. Just like what Cia had said a few days ago.Oh shit! She clearly ado
"I didn't do anything. I was just kind enough to pick up the calls of two men who contacted you this early."Feli immediately opened her phone screen to find out what her lover meant. Her eyes closed when she found Eric's message room open. She could already guess that Jerrald had read the message from her bodyguard.Feli opened her eyes again. "I can explain—""What mission are you on, Miss Feli?"Feli swallowed saliva with difficulty. "C-can you call me 'Cia' as usual?" begged Feli hopefully. She felt strange when Jerrald called her that. She should have gotten used to it, because 'Feli' had been her nickname for a long time. But if Jerrald said it, somehow Feli felt like there was a distance between them."Isn't your real name 'Feli'? Why should I call you 'Cia'?" Jerrald rhetorically said with a flat face. It was inversely proportional to his already shapeless heart.Feli could feel the atmosphere around them was very tense."Jerrald—""Tell me, what mission did that man named Eri
Jerrald opened his eyes. His ears immediately heard the crashing waves.He looked up at the ceiling of the room he was staying in.He had been here for two weeks, on the island of the Grenadines: Petit St. Vincent in the Caribbean Sea, between Saint Lucia and Grenada.Roland was right. The island has no internet, which makes it perfect for anyone who needs a little peace. Take him for example.Jerrald still decided to go to the place where he and Cia were supposed to be vacationing.Cia... damn it! Jerrald sometimes forgot that the woman's name wasn't Cia.Jerrald changed his sleeping position to face the side, where he could directly see the beach with its crashing waves.The resort he was staying in had a glass building that allowed people inside the resort to look directly at the beach.He exhaled heavily. Jerrald had run away to heal the hurt caused by Feli's departure.Two weeks ago, when he returned to the apartment after his anger had subsided, Jerrald found it empty. There was
A month passed after the mission ended.Today, Feli decided to return to campus. Enough time lamenting the fate of her tragic romance with that damn Mendez!It wasn't necessarily that he was thinking about their relationship. Perhaps, he might even go back to his pungent-smelling ex-lover! Who knows?Why would Feli spend time reminiscing about their time together?! Wasn't she already determined to forget him?"Where are you going, Baby Girl?""I'm going to the college, Mom."Charlotte looked surprised. The woman who was no longer young but still looked beautiful looked her daughter up and down. Then lingered to look at Feli's face.Feli realized that her behavior after returning from the damn mission looked strange. She preferred to be alone in the room without wanting to be disturbed by anyone. Feli preferred to lie on the bed most of the day. If she remembered Jerrald, she would cry her eyes out. Then after that, Feli would go into the bathroom and would stand under the running sho
"No… way!" whispered Feli quiveringly. This beautiful woman swallowed saliva with difficulty. She stared at the five pregnancy test kits that she had bought a while ago after returning from campus because she was suspicious of her body condition lately."I'm pregnant???” whispered Feli again. Her eyes continued to stare at the five objects alternately. The results shown by the five objects were the same.At first, she was very doubtful when one object showed results that made her dumbfounded. She tried again, and again, and the result remained the same...Positive...Feli could no longer deny it. She sat down on the closed toilet. Her gaze was blankly directed toward the bathtub not far in front of her, which was blocked by a glass wall. Feli felt her whole body limp as if she had no bones. No wonder she was tired and her head often felt heavy these days. Moreover, her period never
"Mom..."Feli's heart was beating fast. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw that the five items that were still in her bathroom were now in Charlotte's hands. She had lost Charlotte's speed. If only Feli hadn't carelessly placed them on top of her bathroom sink, this wouldn't have happened."Is this...yours? Are you...pregnant?"Feli bit her lip nervously. Her mommy must have been very surprised by what she found."Honey—""I'm sorry, Mom..." Feli backed away nervously when Charlotte was about to grab her hand. She was running her eyes everywhere."B-Baby—""I'm not going to abort it, Mom!" said Feli again. This time with firmness. Her eyes were already teary. She hugged her stomach tightly.Feli was not ready for her parents to find out that there was a new life in her womb. She was afraid that her mommy or daddy would insist on eliminating this innocent 'thing'.Feli and Charlotte looked at each other. They both looked into each other's eyes.Charlotte looked sadly at her daug
"I have to tell Niguel that—""You don't remember what our princess said, Leon! Feli doesn't want us to find out who the father of our future grandchild is! Not even my little girl wants to hear the name of the country where you made my daughter a maid!" hissed Charlotte sharply. Remembering Feli's request before her daughter fell asleep.Now Charlotte and Leonel were inside their private room after making sure Feli was completely asleep. The daughter's eyes looked swollen from crying non-stop."But... Charlotte, Niguel has a right to know—""Has your best friend contacted you again?"Leonel's shoulders slumped at his wife's question. He shook his head weakly. The last
