Gwyneth’s POV
He just laughed at what I said. I was expecting that he will shout at me. But I was wrong, because he just laughed with laughter. It's as if he's watching some kind of comedy series.
"You are so funny, Gwyneth .." she just kept laughing. I looked away. Is that all? He thought I was just creating a scene for him to laugh at. "Stand there. I laugh more eh .." he stopped laughing.
I stood up. I swallowed hard trying to prevent the ache on my throat. I was having trouble breathing, then he seemed to have a hard time laughing.
"You know Gwyneth, no matter what you do I will not love you." He started. He also stood up to match me. He held me on both shoulders. And the way he touched me, it's very sensual.
GWYNETH'S POINT OF VIEWI get up early in the morning because this will be my first day working at our company. Kalex told me last night via phone call. He said that I will be the acting CEO for a while because he has some business out of the country.I closed my eyes and took my cellphone from the side table near my bed, and immediately looked at the text messagesI just looked at Kalex's text and quickly got up and went straight to the bathroom to take a bathThis morning Kalex flew to Cebu. I was not able to accompany him to the airport because I was drowsy.I woke up last night to the thought of the woman calling Kalex.knowing me, I'm not too praning. Slight lang ^ ______ ^
GWYNETH'S POINT OF VIEW"Shall we start?" Mr. Torres asked me as I sat in the chairGosh. That was embarrassing earlierI do not know where I took my confidence to face him after I asked him if he is my follower on social media? Heck!"Sure, Mr. Torres "I replied and gave a strained smileIt would be better for me to start my transaction with him so that I can get out of here immediately and hit the two witches who said that Mr. Torres"Then, present your business plan" he said seriously and I frownedPresent my Business plan?Is that still necessary?Angel haven't informed me about that business plan"Anyway, would you mind if I order some food for us?"What a brilliant idea."Yeah, it's ok.I guess it's ugly if we just sit here and talk about business without having something

[I heard about what happened earlier] his wife said angrily when she opened skype"And then?" Gwyneth answered sleepily and was accompanied by a yawn "You know, why did you even call here?"[C'mon, Gwyneth. Do you know the person you were talking to earlier?] Kalex's tone was obvious in annoyance because of what his wife did"Yes I know ----"[That's it. you know, but you still managed to escape him earlier.

Jules ordered one of their housemates who was here in his room"Sleep is too deep ---""Who cares? Wake it up"The maid did nothing but nod and obey her boss's orders. it gently shook Gwyneth as Jules stared at it sharply."What? Can't you see I'm still sleeping?" Gwyneth teased them and went back to sleep"Ma'am, wake up ---""Come out manang, I'll take care of it" the young man said seriouslyThe said maid immediately came out of her employer's room. Jules' sharp eyes stared at Gwyneth who was sound asleep.as fast as four o'clock the young man pulle
GWYNETH'S POINT OF VIEW"Where have you been?" Quir asked me frowningDid I think he was in the States? And he also had the courage to enter our house without even saying a word. Tsk"When did you arrive?" I did not want to ask him and went straight to the kitchen. I opened the fridge and got some drinking water. "How are you, Tita?" I refer to her mommy after I drink"You're not answering my question"I was overwhelmed by the emptiness when I saw his angry expression. he entered the kitchen so I got out and passed him. I quickly sat down on the couch in the dining area.Hays, I feel like I drank too much last night. why is it like tha
Gwyneth's POINT OF VIEW"What made you decide to invite me for lunch?" I asked Mr. Torres while wiping the table napkin from my lipsWe just finished eating, and soon, I'm going to the orphanage. the weather is still a bit bad right now, why is the visit there still scheduled today. Hays"Do I still have to answer that?" he asked me again as if nothing had happenedLoko 'to. Why did the wind suddenly blow. just now he was with me, then I will know that he visited me to invite me for lunch? Is he nuts?“Fine. I need to go, I still have a walk ”I said and stood up"Have I brought you yet?"I turned around for a moment and smiled "Thanks but no thanks ---"“I insist”Eh?

Zaina's POINT OF VIEW"What now? Have you contacted them yet? ” I asked Angel as he approached where I was“His number is still out of reach. What are we going to do? ” its tone knows the nervousness and fear of the possible.Who wouldn't be scared if a man named Kalex Fuevo threatened you? Pssh that jerk."Have you called the orphanage that Gwyneth went to?" I will askI don't know about these. they knew that woman was a bit stupid but they still let her travel alone.“Gwyneth did not visit. How are you? ”"Maybe he doesn't know the way to go ther
Gwyneth's POINT OF VIEW“Maybe you forgot you were the one who fooled the two of us. Which woman did you go to in Cebu? ”I wiped away my own tears as I remembered the woman calling her phone. it's just a pain, I'm still the cheater he looks like"Do not change the subject——""I do not change the subject because that is the truth" I insistedTheir endearment? The two times I heard his woman's voice? He said he had an out of town business? I'm the only one who's always hurt? Feeling this way is enough. I don't want to"I never dreamed this kind of life" I just shook my head and continued walking to the main door while carrying my luggage. He was about to touch me when I suddenly stopped him. “Keep your filthy hands away from me. I do not want to be infected by your lies. Tsss ”I heard him call my name but I could not turn ar
Gwyneth’s POV"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Local time is ten past three in the afternoon and the temperature is 25 degrees Celsius ..."I can't help but to feel all the excitement as the crew announced that our plane landed. I've been peeking out the window for a while now because I really want to set foot in the Philippines again. It has only been six months, but it feels like forever since the day I've been here. I was excited to see Jase and Kalex. We video called almost every night and they also went to see me at Christmas. They stayed there for the whole holidays but it's not enough to compensate my longing for the two.The hard battle of homesickness!"Have a nice stay ma’am!" one of the crew greeted me before I went down on the plane. I gave her a smile.When I got off the plane, I went straight to a bus that the staff p
Gwyneth’s POVI woke up with the clamorous knocking on my door. I looked at my clock; it's already 11 in the evening. Who would bother to visit me at this time? I don’t even know why I was on my out to see me at this hour when in fact I still had to sleep because my flight will be early tomorrow at five in the morning. I was still yawning while rubbing my eyes as I walk to the door."Gwyn! Gwyneth! Are you there?!" My yawning stopped and my eyes widened when I heard Kalex's loud voice. I immediately ran towards the door thinking that something might have happened to Jase."Kalex?" he was sweating and gasping as he put his hands on his knees to support himself. He's wearing his usual sleeping clothes, his jersey short and a white cotton shirt. "What are you doing here? Why are you gasping?""I ... took ... the ... stairs." He said as his chest is heaving from the gasps. It took me a second
Kalex’s POV"What's up?" Demitri asked as he sits in front of me. I asked him if he could come because I needed someone to talk to. I need someone who could knock some sense out of me. "Where's Jase?""Upstairs. Sleeping." I replied before I took a sip from the glass of whiskey in my hand. I know he's waiting for me to start talking but I fucking don't know where to fucking start."It's about Gwyneth, isn't it?" He asked when I didn't say anything. My chest tightened by the mere sound of her name. I miss her. I miss calling out her name and how she smiles at me in the morning."She's ... she's leaving tomorrow." I said in a low voice as I remember what she said five days ago. I don't even know how long she'll be gone. I was afraid to ask.My mind went crazy by just the thought of her leaving with that fucker and all I ever said to her was that she doesn't need to worry ...
Kalex’s POV"Mommy you're going with us tomorrow, right?" Jase asked Gwyn again as he draws on his book. I peeked at my son's ipad to see Gwyn's face. She's as beautiful as ever."Yes baby, how many times have you asked me that already? You silly kid!" I can't help but to chuckle as I chop the vegetables for our dinner. Jase quickly glanced at me and grinned."I'm just reminding you mommy in case you forget." I shook my head. Jase just reminded Gwyn for the third time in fifteen minutes since they started talking.He was actually referring to her school activity. Since it's family day, parents are requested to attend the said event with their child at school. Jase has been talking about it since he learned that Gwyn and I are both going. I refuse to be absent on his first family day.They talked for an hour. I love hearing their voice and their funny conversations, especial
Gwyneth’s POV"Why are you so quiet?" Quir asked me as we ride the elevator. I was on my way down earlier when I ran into him and he asked me to have lunch with him."Jase is with Kalex now and I don't have anything to do because I've already made all the proposals for my next event. I just need to submit." I sighed.This has always been my problem ever since Kalex and I had an agreement. When Jase isn't by my side I can't do anything so I usually just read a book until I fall asleep. Everything's just boring whenever Jase's not at home.Quir and I decided to eat outside the company. Sometimes the food is also boring because the menu is almost always the same."So I was thinking, how about we go out tonight?" He asked as we eat at one of our favorite place near the hotel. It's delicious here in case there's majesty so we only eat here when new wages.
Gwyneth’s POV"Excellent job, Gwyn." I beamed at as he opened his arms and I ran towards him to hug him. He picked me up and turned me around."I did it!" I shouted at him and we were both laughing. "The senator loved the theme for the party ... he loved everything."They even popped a confetti for me. One of our officemates opened a bottle of wine to celebrate and gave me one. "Cheers to Gwyneth!"After months of preparing one of the biggest events of the year, I'm just so glad I finished the job. Who would have thought that I would host a politician's birthday party?I've been the event manager of big business men in the country but the aura is still different when your clients are influential in the Philippines. I met the president, the vice president, and even celebrities last night! That’s how big was the event that I organized and I'm happy to see the proud look
Gwyneth’s POV"Sorry you had to wait." Kalex said as he took the seat in front of me. I stared at him intently while calling the server to give him coffee.Short stubbles are starting to grow on his chin. There are bags under his eyes and his hair is too long. To some, I'm sure he looked fine, but I know him too well to see that he's not. That's not the Kalex I know. These past few days must've been hard for him.I was making it hard for him."What do you want to talk about?" He asked after his coffee was served in front of him. His eyes made its way to mine, but then he immediately looked away. To this day he still can’t look at me."I'll go straight to the point." He nodded as he mixed his coffee. "I heard you ... at the bar. I heard what you said to Demitri." That made him look at me.His eyes are full of guilt that confirmed that everything I
Gwyneth’s POV"Quir?" He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that I'm okay."You scared me back there." He said and shook his head."I'm sorry. She just came out of nowhere." Said a man approaching us. He seems to be the driver of the car. He helped us stand up. "I really didn't see you." The man approached me. "Are you hurt? Should I bring you two to the hospital?""No. We're fine." Quir replied with a smile and then they talked. He glanced at me before shaking hands with the driver who said goodbye."So, what are you doing here besides killing yourself?" He joked. I was embarrassed to close my eyes because of his question."I haven't seen it." Is this man like everyone who sees me like this? I looked up at him when he chuckled. Since Quir is much taller than me he put his hands on top of my head and beamed at me."Let's get some
Gwyneth’s POVI walked into the building and went straight to Kalex's office. I can sense all those stares from the people here. I know others here know me because I was once Kalex’s high school friend. Maybe that’s also the reason why some of them were staring at me.I just ignored them because I have nothing to do with them anyway. I came here because of Kalex and they weren’t my goal. I also hate people looking at me, as if spotlight was pointing at me as of this moment. It looks like I’ll be their topic once I turned my back at them. These dumb as* has really nothing to do instead of focusing on their work. Tch.While walking to Kalex’s office I came across a kid chasing a ball. He was running and not looking to where he's going so I tried to avoid but he still collided with me, causing him to fall to the floor. Awts. His back must be hurt.“A
