Jean's jaw almost dropped from staring at the young man. It did not move or speak. She slowly crawled closer to it. And she gently removed the covering from his head. She bit her lower lip at the sight of him. Emmanuel's face was white, even his shoulders, because of the flour."Emman, I'm sorry," she said helplessly while wiping the young man's face. But she was stunned when he held her on both wrists. there eyes met. She felt the strange beating from her heart again. There was a strange intensity coursing through her every vein that came from the young man's hold on her. A lot of nervousness rose in her chest. But before she knew what she was feeling, she left him. But I was very surprised when he came to me Jean's eyes widened suddenly when Emmanuel smeared her face with flour. I guess he wasn't satisfied yet so he reached out again and poured it on her head. After that he laughed loudly and quickly walked away from her."Now I know what I look like!" Emmanuel said while laughing l
"You really SHOULD wear contact lenses. That's more appropriate for a CEO like you than your glasses."Jean couldn't remember how many times Jaylyn had told her about that. Just before they went to her optometrist, she was already convincing her that she would only have contact lenses done. But she was still determined to have glass made. And she knows she made the right decision because she now feels comfortable wearing glasses."Jaylyn, don't you ever hear yourself? If I were you, I would have been hoarse for a long time. I've never heard you keep quiet." Jean said sarcastically to her friend.It laughed exaggeratedly."And why did the conversation turn to me?""Because you're loud," she answered, then sped up walking. It quickly followed her."Right. Now you have to tell me what happened. You included me so easily but you didn't tell me how your glasses broke yesterday." She pulled Jaylyn into a restaurant. She had nothing else to say when she saw it but this. Believe it or not, th
Jean was looking at the sea while the cold wind was touching her cheek. In the corner of her eyes she sees Emmanuel doing the same. She invited him to the Baywalk because she wanted them to talk privately. She chose that place because it was memorable to them, whether it was Key or Emmanuel. But after a few minutes of being there, she still didn't know how to start saying what was on her mind."Do you remember how you got to this place?" later she asked the young man.Emmanuel was obviously surprised by her question. He looked at her. "I told you that I don't remember anything."Jean just nodded at the young man's answer."You don't even say anything about you,"she said trying to make her voice as casual as possible."I-I don't even remember anything from... my past."She stared at it carefully. She couldn't figure out if he was lying or if he just didn't remember anything from his past. Come to think of it, he was unconscious when he saw him in that place."Key Vrixsen..." Jean sai
Flash Back"Is there anything to speed it up, Clark?"The friend who was driving the car looked at him laughing. He offered to be his driver to the church, which he immediately agreed to because he thought he couldn't drive properly. He is nervous. What groom is not nervous during the wedding?Emmanuel smiled widely. On that day, he and his beloved Jean got married. As they got closer and closer to the church, his heart beat faster and faster. He has a strange feeling. He thought that was normal for anyone getting married. His five years of waiting will end on that day. Jean will be his own, He must have done something that pleased God so much. He was going to marry the girl who was meant for him and him alone. He sighed in relief."Don't worry too much, Vrixen. We'll get there in time," his friend Jim said to him with a smile.Emmanuel rubbed his palms together. "I'm nervous." he smiled back at his friend."It's normal. Just relax, bro."He was forced to nod. He peeked in the rearvie
"I have no bad intention will towards Jean. It's hard to explain-""Really? Do you think I'm stupid? If Jean and the others believe you, well, I don't. I know your kind. I will never allow you, a worthless person, to benefit from my brother's wealth.".Emmanuel was stunned. His brother still hasn't changed."I'm not a bad person." he just said."I don't believe you! I asked a detective to investigate you, but you have no identity. Who are you really?" He didn't answer."Even if you don't answer my question, I don't care. You don't belong here. Don't force me to take violent action against you. It's not just someone like you who will replace Key's position. And if there is someone who deserves Jean nothing but I. I'm Key's brother so there should be no one elseI will also benefit from the wealth he left behind."Emman wanted to scream and lose his temper because of his brother's behavior. Then there is still nothingit was changed. This is still his old greedy and cunning brother. Hi
Emmanuel looked STRAIGHT as he walked towards Celes. When he finally entered there, he immediately saw their Leader. It stands in the middle of the garden. He turned his back to her so she didn't know what his facial expression was. However, he bravely continued to step closer to it.He wanted to ask a lot from the Leader. No one can answer his questions but only this. He returned to his normal form. His wings spread freely. He also feels his strength returning. Even his legs that were slightly hurt when he saved Jean are now able to walk properly.He has yet to see his fellow angels go through the final test although he is thankful for that because he really wants to talk to their Leader in person.Emmanuel was only a few steps away from their leader when he faced him. It seemed that he was expecting her to come to talk to him. He bravely met her gaze."Welcome back, Emmanuel," the Leader Watcher greeted him seriously. He breathed deeply. "Thank you, Leader." Moments passed that they
❤️prologue❤️"What if I tell you I love you? Does everything still mean nothing? What if I really love you, will you still leave?"To become a full-fledged archangel, Zekiel needed Jaylyn's help in his final mission. He knows that everything will be easier if he stays with Jaylyn in a world he doesn't belong to.What Zekiel was not prepared for was Jaylyn gradually introducing her to feelings he had never felt before-and that was impossible.But he was not happy when he left her. And he is ready to trade everything just to be with Jaylyn.Zekiel groaned at the intensity of the pain he felt. It seemed like something hard hit his head and the intense pain coming from it slowly pulled him back to consciousness. He opened his eyes for a moment but immediately closed his eyes because of the bright sun that met his eyes.He slowly opened his eyes again while covering his face with his right hand. He can be heard feeling a headache. That's painful. He tilted his head to the other side. It was
Jaylyn and Jean had an EARLY meeting that morning. They talked to Taiwanese clients for a possible investment in the bakery owned by her friend Jean. Jaylyn is the one she trusts the most out of all her employees because apart from being friends, she also has a few shares in her company.They held the meeting at the main branch of Jean's bakery. It was in an area not far from the Baywalk. It can be said that it is strong because they are looking for investors for expansion and they also have many branches.After the meeting, the two of them will continue to their main office on Boulevard. But when Jaylyn asked her friend, she refused."You go first," Jean pushed her away."Why? Where are you going?" she asked her friend"Walking around," she answered.Jaylyn just let Jean go. It has really become a habit to walk along the side of the Baywalk whenever there is a chance. She left her the car key.She takes care of her friend's car. She picks up Jean and drops her off at home on her dail
EPILOGUEWHILE looking down at the plateau, a small smile appeared on the Leader's lips. It seems to see something interesting from there. One of the angels, Van, couldn't stop himself from commenting."Does this have something to do with the angels who preferred to return to the mortal world as humans?" The Chief turned. "Why did you say that? that, Van?""I'm not sure. Is there another reason why you're smiling, Leader?""Maybe there is, maybe there isn't," was his figurative reply. Attention was again turned to the bottom of the plateau.When the Ruler is on that side and looks down it sees every desire below where the abode of mortals is.Van was one of the first angels to angel. The time he spent in Celes was probably not only a hundred years. He is also the highest of all the angels. But despite all that he still could not fully understand the Leader Guardian. Why it makes the decisions it makes. Ifwhy does it give a second chance. "If you really want to know why don't you a
WHY do you seem pale, Edmingard?" From eating, Edmin looked up at her daddy. She moved her eyes to his father and mother. Concern can be seen on the parents' faces. She forced a smile. She wasn't living in her parents' house anymore. It's been almost a month."I'm just tired from the amount of things I'm taking care of." Silence passed again. Only the sound of cutlery could be heard. Once again it was Edmin's daddy who broke it."Did someone come between you and Zachriel, Edmingard?" Edmin almost choked. He drank a lot of water. "What kind of question is that, Dad?" Remembering Zachriel, a sadness passed through his chest, although only for a moment."He came with you and Charm for a few days. You said it was at your beach house with Mignus atZambales. He never came back. I can't think of any other reason, well, aside from the fact that that's the only day he told us to stay here. I don't suspect him badly. He was a good man after all." Her father smiled. "Your mommy just said that
IT IS the final day.Zachriel was the first thing that came to Edmin's mind when she opened her eyes. Her gaze shifted from the ceiling to her right. Her and Zachriel's eyes met immediately. His warm eyes were softly looking at her. When her husband smiled, she smiled too."Good morning," he said to which she responded the same way.Zachriel bowed. She leaned forward and kissed her. First on the temple, next to her brows and then to her cheeks.That's when Charm acted like she was waking up. Zachriel immediately kissed her daughter on the forehead. Charm just changed position. It continued to sleep.Zachriel kept staring at Edmin. She was beautiful beyond words. Because of that, a knife hit his finger while he was cutting an onion.She took a breath and stared dumbly at the fingerbeginning to bleed. It turns out that not only his memories as a human returned. Even to feel emotionalman or physical illness returned. Edmin attended him immediately. "Are you okay?" it asked. She pulled
Edmin, Zachriel and Charm Spent the whole day cleaning the beach house full of dust, smoke and insects. It seems like her father and daughter spent more time messing around than cleaning.After that they cooked and swam in the sea. That night, they slept side by side in one of the two rooms. Charm was in the middle of the couple. Just like a real family. It was painfully beautiful.Zachriel talked to Charm until the child fell asleep. And when the two of them were awake, they did nothing but stare at each other. Edmin will stare at Zachriel while their hands are clasped until sleepiness overtakes her.Eat, bathe, play and walk on the beach. That was their routine for the next three days.On the afternoon of the third day at the beach house, Zachriel carried Charm on his shoulders. Edmin's arms were wrapped around her husband's body while they were walking on the beach."Daddy, Mommy, when are we going to the beach with dolphins?" Charm asked enthusiastically.Edmin and Zachriel looked
Edmin did not know how to take everything she heard from Zachriel."I can go on. I can tell you about our days together. I'm Mignus. And I'm telling the truth, Edmin. I and Mignus are one."Right.And he was saying those with utmost conviction, with truth shimmering in his sad but determined eyes. If that wasn't the truth, he couldn't think of any other explanation for why he knew all that.In her heart, she wants to believe. She was really seeing Mignus in him. And the way he looked at Charm. The way he looked at her with anguish and longing. Was it really possible? Did he come back as an angel because he heard his cries in heaven? Because it knows his tears? Because it knows that he wants a second chance forcan he say goodbye?But if he was here right now, in flesh and blood, even with a different personality and face, Mignus is still Zachriel. Why should she say goodbye? The best thing to do was to hold onto him and never let him go. Because second chances were supposed to beseco
Edmin's DreamIT WAS a beautiful dream. Edmin felt like she was floating on a cloud. She had good-great news. She and Mignus are about to have a baby."Congratulations, Mrs. Salazar You're six weeks pregnant."Edmin's smile widened at what the ob-gyne said. He reached for her hand. "Thank you, Doc.He seemed to be stepping on a cloud when he left the clinic. He couldn't wait to tell Mignus everything. The husband just left last night. First thing in the morning is to get a checkup right awaywhat he did. Only now will he think of a nice surprise on how to reveal it to Mignus he is dying. Emma was in that meditation when her cell phone rang. She answered that thoughthe number is unfamiliar. She wished she hadn't taken the call. It was the worst joke of all. Before the person on the other line could elaborate everything, everything went completely dark for her.The light coming from outside penetrates through the glass window. When Edmin opened her eyes, her cheeks were wet with tears
Edmin woke up the next morning with a heavy heart. He didn't want to get up but she had no other choice. She has a choice. She can stay in his room and worry about people outside or she can pretend to be fine. Either way, she is the loser.She chose the latter.But before going out completely, Edmin's eyes caught the bouquet of roses and papers in the corner of the room. She drew in a violent breath. Taking them out of the room, she headed outside and placed them in a large trash can.Upon reentering the house, she went to the kitchen to make coffee. He caught Manang Marcha and Zachriel having breakfast. The old man immediately stood up. Their eyes met the man's. It was the first to look away."Good morning, Edmin. How are you feeling?" Manang Marcha asked."It's good," she answered. "And sit down and continue eating. I'll take care of myself.""Hi, join us for the meal." Edmin nodded before starting to move.She took a plate. Even if she doesn't want to eat, the smell of fried rice,
Three times after Edmingard left the workshop, Zachriel couldn't stop the rising of worry. That was increased when Manang Marcha repeated that alcohol is what Edmin keeps coming back to the house.Zachriel couldn't resist going to the warehouse. He feels anxious. He didn't know where that anxiety was coming from. He just wanted to see Edmin's condition.Like the first time he peeked through the window. He bent slightly to get a good look at Edmin's form. The woman's other hand is holding the mold while the other is holding a bottle. It drinks. Just by looking at it, he could see that it didn't do multitasking very well.Edmin dropped the bottle, probably drunk. Her face is already reda few strands of hair that had come loose from the ponytail were scattered. He was laughing despite Zachriel clearly seeing tears welling up in her eyes. It tried to pick up the broken pieces of the bow but only injured itself.When Zachriel saw the bleeding finger, something inside Zachriel tingled. Tha
"YOUR smile makes my heart race. You should smile often, my love." Those words had popped into Edmin’s mind countless times in the past few days. This is what her late husband Mignus often told her. Subsconsciously he knows you are triggered! of what Zachriel told her. Mignus words were almost the same as the man's words to her. Because of that, instead of being reassured, she completely avoided Zachriel. She hired new staff to help. She doesn't want Zachriel to end up as a business partner. Now she was sure why she was uncomfortable in the man's presence. It revives feelings and memories that he has buried in the deepest part of his being. They have been spending almost two weeks with Zachriel. Only two weeks left. It's quick. One morning Edmin's only brother called. His brother Jaice: His wife is said to have given birth. And of course, their parents should be there. That's not the only occasion. His brother's eldest son will also have a birthday. They should all go to the State
