"What do you mean?" Liam shook his head. "As expected. She just let you guys judge her without defending herself." I was stunned by what I am hearing from Liam. I was so sure that Anne is a golddigger and he was her first victim. But Liam is saying otherwise. I don't know anymore what to believe. Lance has strong evidence but Liam has first-hand experience with Anne.If Liam was telling the truth, then I should be ashamed of myself for judging Anne quickly without hearing her side."Anne was a sweet and innocent girl when I first met her. She's good at designing clothes. Her dream was to work as a fashion designer in Paris. But because of me, she throws that dream away." He said while looking at me intently.My eyes widen at his revelation. It was Anne's side that no one knew. Liam stood up and went to one of his office drawers and took a folder. He went back to his seat and gave me the folder. I took the folder and started to check what this folder was all about.It's a fashion po
I am trying to absorb everything that I heard from Liam. I don't know if I should trust him or not. Should I believe everything that he just said?What if all the things he said were all make-up stories to be closer to Anne? What if he wanted me to believe that he genuinely cares for Anne, but the truth is, he wants revenge. But what if it's true? Then, Anne was just a victim. And as a former friend, I kind of feel guilty for not giving her a chance to talk and explained herself. I judge her based on the evidence that my cousin gathered. It didn't occur to me that there's always a reason why people resort to doing evil things. Instead of judging her, I should have known first why she did those things.I was not able to do my work properly because my mind is full of questions. I don't know the right thing to do. It's a good thing that Liam agree to give me time to think before I gave him my decision.I don't know much about Liam. I did some research about him since he was lined up in
A week has passed since my dinner date with Andrew. My mind is not a bit at peace with Anne. Even though I haven't received the result of the investigation about her past with Liam, I am convinced that Anne is not as bad as I thought she was.But I still need the result of my investigation because I want to be sure that Liam is sincere in his intention of helping Anne. I can't ignore the possibility that he wanted to get his revenge on her. I won't let that happen. I left the office a bit early because I will be meeting the investigator at my house. One of the house helpers informed me that my visitor is already waiting in our living room. I nodded at her and told her to bring the visitor to my study area.We all have our own study room in the mansion. But I don't usually use my study room because I prefer to work in my room that's why I asked for a working area inside my room. I usually used my study room whenever I have a meeting with my team in my house or I need to talk to someo
I accepted the deal with Liam. I think his plan was the best thing for all of us. After hearing their story, I can't help but feel sorry for both of them. Based on my investigation and Liam's side of the story, they both genuinely love each other. I hate it when people try to destroy someone else's happiness just because of money or class status. I feel sorry for them. There is no genuine happiness in those kinds of people. Their world only revolves around money and power, there is no contentment in them. They failed to appreciate what truly matters, and that is God and family. I want not only for Anne to achieve her dream of becoming a famous fashion designer but I also want her to love again. And yes, I'm rooting for Anne and Liam. Their relationship is such a waste. I feel like, they have an unfinished business, and now is the perfect time for their love to finally happen. But before we start our plan with Anne, we need to secure Liam's position in their company. I offer him not
"Let's go, baby!"Alli and I agreed to visit her adopted family today. It's our first time to visit them together. I'm sure that Alli thinks that it's my first time going to her former house. But little did she know, when she left me years ago, I often visit her adopted parents to ask for advice, they are very welcoming and I could see and feel how much they love Alli. I understand now why Alli loved them so much."Mom, Dad, and Dennis, I'd like to formally introduce to you my boyfriend, Andrew Lopez." Alli formally introduced me to her adopted family after we settle down in their house and after I gave my gifts to them.Aunt Leona gave me a warm hug, while Uncle Carlo and Dennis tap me on my shoulder. "I'm glad that you two went back together. We saw how devastated he was when you left. We also saw how faithful he is to you. Despite his fame, he never looks at anyone or finds a replacement. He would always tell us that you will come back to him, and when that happens, he will never
“What?” I could see how shocked and confused Andrew is right now. Who wouldn’t?! Just months ago, I was in the same rage as he is right now and telling him to fire Anne. I'm disappointed with another lie made by Anne but I'm not surprised anymore. I know that she has feelings for Andrew. I can’t blame her for falling for him. Andrew was the only person who took her side when everyone was against her. “You can’t fire her... Yet.” I said to him.Andrew’s forehead creased. “Why can’t I fire her now?” He asked.I turned to him and held his hand to calm him. I could still feel the rage in him. He was really angry with Anne. “Anne was once a simple girl who had a big dream. She had every skill and talent that she needs to fulfill that dream but because of love she was robbed of that dream.” I said with full sympathy for her.I'm not saying that what Anne did now and in the past is right and valid. I'm just saying that I understand why she did what she did.I still feel sorry for her wh
"A-Andrew..."Vince stopped Iya from going to Andrew. "I'll talk to him." He whispered to her.Iya nodded at him and step aside.I caress Andrew's arm to calm him down. He was shaking in rage. I cleared my throat, my heart is beating so fast. I hope that Vince will be able to make Andrew accept their relationship. Vince clenched his jaw before he turn to Andrew. Both of them are staring intently at each other. While the others are waiting for their next move.I could see the confusion in Mike and Lance's faces but they chose to keep quiet. While Lieo seems to have an idea about Vince and Iya's secret relationship. "I'm in love with your cousin." Vince was the first one who broke the silence. Mike and Lance gasped at Vince's confession. Lieo and I remain quiet while Iya was shaking as she kept on looking at Andrew.Vince then hold Iya's hand who was standing beside him. Andrew looks at their hands. "You can't!" Andrew strongly disagrees.My eyes widen and turned to him. "But why?"
"What are you doing here this late?" Anne looks at me a bit disoriented. I sighed and ask her to come inside the house because I assume that this will be a long talk. I don't need to ask her if she's drunk because it's quite obvious. She's really affected by Liam.Liam told me that Anne is acting like this because of her insecurities but I beg to disagree. Anne is not yet over him. I am so sure about that. She will not ruin her life if it's only for revenge. Sometimes people want revenge not because they want to get even, but because they haven't moved on. I ask our maid to prepare tea and a light snack for me and Anne as we went to the lounge area. "Are you really going with Liam tomorrow to the US?" She asked as soon as the maid left.I nodded. "Yes... for business." "Liar!" She accused me which I had already expected. I act confused. "What are you saying? Is there another reason for Liam to come with me to the US?" She glared at me. If looks can kill, I'll be dead by now. "Pe
