Hello, readers! I have been busy because of the youth organization and class. Please bear with me and my errors. Please leave a review on my story. Thank you so much for your support! :)
PROLOGUELIFE IS SHORT. We should always spend time with our loved ones and do the things we love.Isobelle Levisay, 25, the eldest daughter of the Levisay clan. She loves her family so much that she agreed to study civil engineering as per her dad's request. She didn't disappoint him because she graduated with Latin honors, and is now working on their company."You should eat a lot, Sobi. You've been working ever since you've graduated. Look at you now. You're skinny," her daddy pointed out."I'm not skinny dad. This is what you call, sexy~" she even winked at him. The man just shook his head while smiling and continued to eat his breakfast.The Levisays were having breakfast at their dining area. Everyone is present from her younger twin siblings, Steven and Sophie, her daddy and her mom. They were like a happy, and perfect family in the eyes of other people."You should really eat more, Sobi. I'm afraid you'll passed out while working," her mom said, worried."That's right, mom. I
BAD LUCK “Yes, ma’am. I am 100% sure. A table reservation for you, the representative of Levisay Construction Firm, Ms. Isobelle Levisay and for the CEO of Hastings Construction, Mr. Lyon Hastings.” the staff said, pointing the guy. ‘What the freaking hell?’ “I’ll go now, ma’am. Please enjoy your meal.” The staff then went out of the scene. She awkwardly sat on the seat across the guy. Sensing the situation that they were in. She just couldn’t believe that this guy is the CEO of Hastings Construction. He doesn’t look like it. Judging from the way he dresses. Disheveled hair, first three buttons of shirt is open, piercing on the left ear, and even driving to the restaurant using a motorcycle. He’s more like a spoiled rich kid who just loves drinking and partying, than a CEO. “You’re fifteen minutes late, Ms. Levisay.” He said while looking at his wrist watch. She rolled her eyes and answered, “F.Y.I. Mr. Hastings, you’re the reason why I’m late. You splashed mud on my dress. Do yo
EXPERIENCE It’s been one week since the scandal at the restaurant happened. Isobelle has yet to get over about the slap and insults against her. Articles had been published and lots of speculations and rumors were made. Some rumors say that she and Lyon Hastings were having a relationship, dating at the restaurant and Valerie Baeyens is just a third party. Good thing that the rumors have died after Lyon Hastings and Valerie Baeyens side released statements. It was also reported that Baeyens is now under rehabilitation for her mental health issues. She explained the situation to his father and he understands her. The contract signing was still under her, but the contact is through her secretary. She doesn’t want any trouble and issues. “Sis, can we take this one? It’s pretty.” Sophie, her sister, asked her. They’re inside the mall, shopping gifts for their dad on his 50th birthday party next week. She knew it was not only a birthday party, but a business gathering as well because he
CHANGE They arrived at the summer house at exactly 6pm and she’s 30 minutes late. She got off his Ducat* when they stopped just outside the gate. The ride was just smooth so she can’t even complain at him even though he drove very fast. “Uhm… Thank you for helping me.” She said reluctantly then fixed her dress. “That’s my apology for you. We’re even now.” He said, removing his helmet. He got off his motorcycle, making Isobelle confused. “Why are you getting off? I can walk from here.” She said, confused of his actions. “I know. Did you think I’m going to accompany you? I’m invited here.” He said then went inside the gate, leaving her. ‘What? Did daddy invite him? Why would dad invite this guy? Didn’t he refused to sign the contract?’ she has so many questions but she could not answer them all. Shrugging, she just went inside the summer house. It’s not a typical summer house, but as big as a mansion. There’s a lake near it. When she entered the gate, she can see the lake at the b
DONE “What is going on, dad?” The Levisays are now inside the office at the mansion. The guests have left an hour ago after the party was over. Isobelle wanted to discuss the sudden changes in the partnership. She just doesn’t understand why the Hastings agreed with the contract. “Lyon Hastings changed some clauses in the contract. Both parties agreed to it.” Gideon Levisay answered, not wanting to explain further. “But, last week, didn’t he refused to sign the contract? Why did he suddenly agree? I bet he has some hidden agendas, dad. Please think about this matter first.” She suspects that there’s something behind his sudden change of mind. Knowing that guy’s personality, he must have something up his sleeve. “Don’t overthink, dear. Maybe, he must have found our company beneficial to him after some thinking. I don’t find any reason to doubt him.” Her mother stated. ‘She has been silent the whole time there and now, she’s defending him.’ Isobelle just shook her head in disbelie
OVERTHINKING Steven is now trying to comfort his twin sister who has been crying for hours. Hearing the divorce from their mom’s mouth is like a nightmare to them. Isobelle couldn’t believe it as well. It’s so sudden that she couldn’t react and stop her mother from leaving. Right now, she’s trying to contact her mom, and her mom’s friend to know where she has gone. Their father has been drowning himself with liquor on their living room. He’s refusing to stop nor eat. At this point, he’s just too broken hearted. Isobelle doesn’t know what to do anymore. It’s already night but her mom didn’t come home. “Steven, bring Sophie upstairs. I’ll try to contact mom’s friends.” She ordered her brother to make Sophie stop from worrying. Sophie has always been a mama’s girl that is why she’s very attached to their mom. Steven just nodded and accompanied Sophie to her room. She tried calling her mom’s friend again. After a few rings, the woman answered. “Hello, aunt Sharon?” (Hello, Isobelle?)
BEACH The company is busy as usual. Isobelle is now discussing matters about the ongoing project with Maverick. It’s a beach resort and Maverick was the one who designed it. She needed to check the site as the engineer. “Should I drive you, Sob?” Maverick asked her after they settled the matter. He knew that the Levisays ae now having a family problem. He’s worried about Isobelle, but he also doesn’t want to force her to open up with him. The family need some privacy right now. They are sensitive with the matter and they wouldn’t want to talk about it yet. “No, it’s fine. I can handle this, Mav. You still have things to do. I don’t want to bother you.” She said not wanting to waste the guy’s time. She will just check the site to make sure that it was going well as they had planned. “You’re not a bother to me, Sob. I’m always here for you and you know that.” He clearly understands that the woman needed space, but he’s worried about her. “I’m really fine, Mav. Don’t worry about me.
YOUNGER Another day passed and as usual, their parents were just silent. Not everyone knows about the real status of their mother and father. They both appear on public together, showing that they’re like a happily married couple when in fact is they’re not. Gideon Levisay is clearly sad, but he doesn’t show it in front of his children. He’s showing a strong facade to prevent his children from worrying. He always tries to talk with Belinda in private, but she’s clearly avoiding him. He just let her for the time being. Isobelle who’s always observing her parents feels sorry for her siblings. They are the most affected with their parents’ problem. It has been a week and she noticed a lot of things about her mother. Unlike any other women who undergoes divorce, her mother doesn’t seem to be bothered. Others were depressed, but her mother is clearly not. She has heard her mom talking to the phone while laughing and giggling so many times now. Her mom always goes out with her friends an
