Leanna Sy Ortega is the epitome of perfection. Navier, and everybody else in the world, knows that. Ever since she was young, from academics to sports, she aced them all with ease. Name it and everyone is sure that she can do it. She was, needless to say, a genius; and that is the main reason why at age fourteen there were no questions asked when she was announced to take the headship of the Sy Mafia.
She took up business administration, but later pushed through modeling and fashion designing. She was one of the top models in her generation, but she later lay-lowed in the mainstream industry especially when she already met their father. She shifted more to fashion designing and that is their reason for always dressing up to
Sophia could not still believe that it would be Sage Michaels himself who would be handling her apartment case. She finally breathed more comfortably now that her worries of losing her home had finally lessened; and all of this would not be possible without the help of Navier. She owes him a lot even if he would insist that he is doing this because he is her boyfriend. For her, this means so much to her that he will surely return him the favor if he needs it.Navier gave her Sage&rs
“Well, why don’t we introduce ourselves first?”Sophia could not help but to laugh as she watches the three most important women in her life right now interact like this. She did not even dare to imagine that this day will come—this day that Miss Minchin, Cleo, and Jaylene will meet through her. Sure, Cleo knows Miss Minchin, but it is not necessarily true to Miss Minchin, there it is Miss her suggestion that they should introduce themselves more properly. She knows that this is about to get more and more interesting.She is happy, beyond happy, and
Sophia is really excited to meet Navier’s family, but now that they are entering their village, she could not help but to hold onto her seatbelt hard. She is very nervous and all the negative thoughts are already invading her mind. There is still a huge possibility—a fifty-fifty chance—that Navier’s family will not like her. She does not know what to do if ever they decided that they do not like her for Navier.Navier must have sensed her distress and immediately held her hand instead. He was easily driving with one hand. “They will love you, you know? You don’t have to be nervous.”
SOPHIA’S POVMeeting Navier’s family is one of the best moments that I have now and I will forever cherish this day. Nicole and Sage are like a set of big siblings that I never have and most of our dinner time, Sage and Navier spent moments teasing and bullying Nicole! I laughed too hard at how their set-up works. It was a nice feeling of having older siblings because I never really know how it felt before. Our night is more than perfect when I get to know Mrs. Leanna Ortega—their wonderful mom.Mrs. Ortega—it is still hard calling her “mom&rd
NAVIER’S POVI knew that my mom would like Sophia and I am really happy that I am right. Nicole and Sage already liked Sophia the moment they met her, and now having mom on the list feels like a very satisfying validation. It was really a fun decision to wait for mom before officially introducing her. The wait is worth it.Our mom, the ever beautiful Leanna Ortega, would often joke about how she wanted more daughters. Nicole and I, even our dad, all know that her lighthearted jokes about wanting more children are closer to the truth rather than being a simple joke. S
SOPHIA’S POV“You’ll have to promise me lots of dates soon, okay, sweetheart? And if ever this son of mine does something you didn’t like, you have my number. Call me anytime, anywhere, and I’ll beat him up for you.”I could not help myself but to laugh more with Mrs. Ortega’s reminders before we go. When she opens her arms, I hug her as tightly as I can because even if we are going to see each other again, I am already going to miss her. She pats my hand one last time before letting me go.
NAVIER’S POVI cannot help but to pace back and forth here in my office. I already finished everything that will distract me from having all these thoughts, and now I do not have anything better to do but fully welcome them. I should not be this worried but when it comes to Sophia, every little detail counts and I knew something has been bothering her since last night.The thing that makes it harder for me is that she did not ask about anything nor she did not clarify what seems to be her problem. Given that what bothers her may not be related to me at all, but still
NICOLE’S POVI do not know how to address this feeling that I have, but I am sure that something happened when mom and Sophia had their alone talk together. I am also sure that I am not losing my mind nor simply having this weird intuition. I know I am right, damn it. What I only cannot do is actually pinpoint what is the actual thing that happened.Pacing back and forth here in my room—I am still here at the mansion because I did not leave—I am taking my time whether I should confront mom or not. I mean, I cannot really confront her, so the proper polite
