No one has ever thought that the mysterious boss of the famous Dela Cruz groups would work and serve as a nurse in a hospital; this was because most people believed that she's dead and long gone.
But now, she was busy as a detective who had to disguise as a private nurse to gather enough evidence to her parents death and was later turn into a full housewife whose opinion doesn't matter nor did it ever count. Lisa had privately pleaded with the doctor in charge of Alex to assign her as his personal nurse without making mention of her. At first, it wasn't a hard task to get along with him as he was super friendly but as soon as his mother noticed their new developed relationship, she attacked Lisa with getting married to her son. But even though Lisa had agreed to the marriage, she never thought it would turn out like this. She had thought that she could change Alex's mind, that she could make him see how much she cared for him. But it was all in vain. She had been deluding herself, thinking that she could make him love her, when he was already in love with someone else. But now, things had took a drastic change and she'll no longer be the vulnerable lady who anyone can trample on like she worth nothing! It's time to let go of whatever feelings she might be having for Alex and take the bull by the horn instead. Those moment when Alex was newly a victim of the accident, he was in a very critical condition that needed more attention both physically, emotionally and mentally but Rosy did never appear nor pay him a visit. Instead, she would only send him numerous messages at nights. Perhaps, this might be the reason Mrs. Williams despises Rosy more and asked Lisa to marry her son before Rosy gets the chance to persuade Alex since he's head over heels with Rosy. Times without numbers, Alex's mother had called Rosy on the phone and cussed at her, calling her all sorts of name and laid accusations on her as well. “You are no different from those dirty sluts on the streets who get hooked up with men just to mooch them off their hard earn fortune and fame...” Mrs. Williams accused. “The earlier you stay away from my son, the better for you, woman!” Despite everything, Rosy wasn't moved by Mrs. Williams threats, she strongly believe Alex can't do without her —that thought was enough to fuel her confidence more. Until the day she received yet another call from Mrs. Williams. “You claimed to love Alex but here he is lying on his sickbed with another woman taking care of him...” She told her. Rosy scoffs at Mrs. Williams' words. “There is nothing wrong in having another wiman assisting me in taking care of my Alex. No matter how much she try, she can't take my Alex from me...” She remarked, overwhelmed with self confidence. Mrs. Williams snickered at Rosy's confidence. “Too bad for you, Rosy, they've both gotten married a few days ago —and now you are at loss! There is noth...” Rosy did not give Mrs. Williams the chance to complete her statement before cutting the cut abruptly. Rosy can tolerate any thing but not Alex being snatched away from her grip —she can't stand anything like it and now he's married to some random lady, eh? This got Rosy mad and she made sure she did everything she can to separate them. Even after many months, she did achieve her aim at end! . *** . Alex got home the next morning after spending his usual daily nights with his ex girlfriend, Rosy. Ever since he reconnected back with Rosy, it has become a daily routine for him to spend every nights with her and he could only be seen at home the next morning because he needs to get ready for another day. He would come home, freshen up and dress for work and after work, he would go to Rosy instead. For all those time, Lisa had been living alone and busily married to herself instead of her husband, Alex. Alex noticed Lisa was missing but he shrugged the thoughts off, after all, she's not his burden for him to worry about neither is she a kid. "Maybe she's busy with the house chores as usual, why worry?" He concluded within himself and headed up to his room to prepare for the day. Alex had taken his bath and dried his body, including his hair. He had finished dressing and was ready to go to work, applying his perfume, his eyes caught glimpse of the neatly arranged papers on his dressing table. He paused for a second and dropped his perfume. "What's this..?" He muttered under his breath as he picked the papers up, his eyes widening in realization. "The divorce papers? Did she sign them already?" He couldn't help but feed his curiosity as he quickly flipped through the papers he had prepared for long. Indeed, Lisa had finally sign the papers after many months of waiting, he's finally free from the stupid marriage he managed to find himself in. At that moment, Alex felt as though a burden had been lifted up his shoulder and he couldn't his happiness. "Finally..." He breathed out in relief, grinning from ear to ear. "I never knew that greedy weak nurse would give up her motive so easily and leave just when I least expected. Seems like Rosy is the perfect match for her, she couldn't even stand Rosy's attack!" Alex couldn't stop himself from laughing out loud. For a moment, he forgot everything else and try to savour in the feeling of his freedom. "Who would gave thought she would leave so soon, eh?" He asked himself, releasing yet another satisfying laughter. "Maybe..." He thought out loud. "She had given up so soon when she realized she won't be getting a penny from my wealth even though we are married. Ow, such a poor lady! I feel for her already." Mockery was evident, even in his thoughts.Well, Alex happiness did not last long when his eyes caught glimpse of the neatly wrapped box that was lying few inches away from where he had picked the divorce papers from. It was strange to him, he has never seen anything like it on his dressing table since he's been using his room."Has it always been there but I failed to notice?" He asked himself as he picked up the box, unwrapping it hastily. As he opened the small box, he was shocked to see a limited edition watch in it —the type that cost a fortune."What...?" He blurted out with surprise written all over his face. "Did Lisa leave this here?...ah, no way! She would rather take this with her rather than leave such expensive gift here —she can't even afford it, can she?"Alex started to think of all the possible scenarios that could have led to the watch being there. Was it a mistake? Had Lisa left it there by accident? Or had someone else left it there, as a gift for him? But who would do that? He was trying to make sense of i
Nobody had expected Lisa to show up after three years of not hearing from her. Most people who know about her had thought she's long dead —and her uncles inclusive. Now that she's back to take the horse by its reins, she knows she has wars to fight and enemies to conquer; which are her uncles!Lisa was determined to get justice for her parents' death, and she knew that her uncles were the ones responsible. But she also knew that it would be an uphill battle, that they would not go down without a fight. But she was ready to take them on, no matter what it took.—after her parents death, Lisa realized how much danger surrounds her and for her to be safe, she has to fish out and conquer her source of danger!She had returned home, not only to stir trouble, but also to make things right. She knew that she had a long road ahead of her, but she was ready to face it head-on. She had nothing to lose, and everything to gain.Lisa was always able to see through her uncles and she was aware of h
The elegantly dressed lady stepped out of the red car, wearing a sunshade to disguise her identity. The car's door was gently shut behind her by her newly assigned driver, who bowed slightly to her before returning to the driver's seat.Lisa stared around for a while, her eyes sparkled in recognition. For more than three years that she has leave her parents house, busily disguising herself as a private hospital's nurse, nothing has changed in the house -it was just as she has remembered it and the familiar scent of flowers in the air was still as it was.At the entrance, leading to the main building itself, stood a man who was busily grinning from ear to ear, his facial expression was that of mixed emotions; relief, recognition and excitement as he patiently waited for Lisa to walk to him. "Oh, oh...!" He exclaimed, his eyes sparkling brightly. "Look who is finally here if not for my long lost cousin. Am I right?"Lisa rolled her eyes at his choice of words. "I wasn't lost, I was bus
"They will wish they never covet what wasn't theirs to start with. I'll make sure they pay for laying hands on me and everything they've done." Lisa vowed, still overwhelmed with anger. "-and Alex too, he'll as well pay for making me shed my precious tears."Lisa's vow wasn't of an empty one and Andy, just by looking into her eyes, he felt lost. The emotion in it wasn't that of the ones he's familiar with, it was totally different and he realized for sure, Lisa wouldn't back down until she's satisfied. Andy couldn't help but admit he love the new look in her eyes! "Fighting those three men isn't an easy journey to embark on, Lisa, they were never easy to start with." Andy started slowly. "We need a very good strategy to overthrow those cunning men when they least expected -they are not just greedy but a con artist as well.""Cunning or foxy, that doesn't matter anymore since it's the reason I'm here." Lisa's voice was assuring with traces of confidence in it. "We have to find a way t
A WEEK LATERThe air in the company was tensed and thick as those knife could cut through it. The staffs were busy with whatever they are doing and those who think they have enough time on their table were busy hushing words amongst themselves —none of them dare speak out loud.Dela Cruz groups already has new owner and it will be welcoming its owner that day, this was enough to keep everyone on their edge. The fact that they don't know when he/she will be arriving caused more tension.Different rumors were already flying around about the new owner, everyone tends to have one or two to say about the owner whenever they manage to gather —mostly, during their lunch break. One rumor that seemed to be the most popular was that the new owner was someone who had a grudge against the Dela Cruz family, and was looking to take revenge. This rumor had caused a lot of fear and unease among the staff, who were now even more wary of the unknown person who was about to become their boss."What do
For the past few months, the Dela Cruz groups have not been doing well lately because the three brothers who had forcefully been managing the company knew nothing about business but instead of employing an expert as a CEO, they blindly lead the company, squandering the little profits they managed to make from it. The Dela Cruz groups was said to ranked top in market sales in States and even in the surrounding company but it has dropped below the least and now, the company and the other branches under it has been struggling financially, went bankrupt and at the edge of collapsing.The three brothers did not bother about the state of the groups cause all they were after was spending whatever money the groups manages to provide for them. Realizing how much they are going to lose if the companies finally collapse, they decided to sell it off, of course, at a price that is way lower than the groups worth; it was as though they sell it off as a scrap.Andy managed to convince his father th
Xavier's eyes, as well as the other two brothers, widened in shock. "What...?" They blurted out in surprise, least expecting what they had just heard. They must have sell the groups but they never planned on evicting their seats in each companies."You heard me right, uncles!" She told them, looking each one of them directly in their eyeballs. "Did you guys signed the documents without reading what the content might be? Ah, that's too lame of you!"Xavier felt as though he was being hit on his gut. ‘Did this cockroach just try to fire me off my post as the executive director?’ He thought within himself, boiling with rage!"But that's too sudden, Lisa!" Xavier argued."It states; ‘with immediate effect’, did you not understand or do you want me to call the security on you?" Lisa sounded as though she was speaking with a hardened criminal, her gaze saying nothing less. "You shouldn't have signed the documents if you won't be abiding by it conditions.""We are family, remember?" Xavier u
Xavier, Fred and Niel got home later that day, with mixed reaction of anger, pain and defeat written on their face —it's obvious that the couldn't hide their emotions as it hit deeper than anyone would think. The type of humiliation they had face earlier, none of them had face it before. Xavier felt he was mostly humiliated, coupled with the fact he was the one doing the talking and his son had his back turned on him."What's wrong, dad...?" Ella, Lisa's youngest cousin, asked Fred immediately they walked in. She had wanted to ignore them and continue with the phone she was busy with but with their long faces, she couldn't help but interfere. The house belongs to Fred, being the only considerate one amongst the three greedy brothers, he bought a duplex to call his unlike the rest of the two who only squander theirs without thinking twice about it. Xavier, on the flip side, lived with son, Andy but since he's angry with his son, he decided to go with Fred and Neil being the younges
