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
“The guy wearing a leather jacket works for my mom,” Liam whispered.We arrived yesterday, but both of us are tired from the trip that’s why we decided to rest in the hotel. I called Andrew to give him an update before I went to bed. Liam informed me of this move by his parents. We already expected that we have a paparazzi for our whole US trip. And we couldn't be more thankful for them because they are making our plan easier. Liam invited me to have breakfast together, which is part of our plan. And after this, I will introduce Liam to Kate Herrera, one of the most famous fashion designers here in the US. He wants to collaborate with her. That's the main agenda of this trip. Securing a deal with Kate will guarantee his promotion. “Smile Alli, the guy is taking a photo of us.” Liam joked while assisting me on my seat.I chuckled. “I feel like a celebrity now.” “You are, though,” Liam said while seated on his chair across mine. “But not to appoint that I will have a paparazzi,” I
“What the hell is your problem Anne? You will suddenly barge into my office and then call my girlfriend a cheater!”Anne flinched by my boyfriend’s sudden outburst. But I think I know why Anne is acting like this. “Did something happen?” I asked Anne, ignoring my boyfriend’s sudden outburst.“Stop playing dumb Alli! I had enough of that already!” She said when she recovered from her shock.“I’m not playing dumb, okay?! I am asking you so that we can understand why you are accusing me of being a cheater.” I calmly explained.She smirked. “Are you sure you want me to tell it in front of Andrew?” I nodded innocently. “Of course, especially now that you are accusing me of cheating.”Anne picked up her phone and she lessens the brightness of it to show me some pictures taken by someone. And I’m sure that it was the paparazzi hired by Liam’s mom.After she showed me the photos, she then gave her phone to Andrew to show him the photos.“Did they leak the photos on the media already? Is the
