His parents are the late owners of famous business chains, but their strong point is their steel company who paved the way for them to enter several chains of business. They died. That’s all that’s been told in some of the articles. No reason and seems like it’s intentionally fabricated so that it will be private. But I already know the truth. His parents had been killed, that’s what he told me at the Lighthouse. Surprisingly, Lulu seems to be so good at her job of undercover ‘stalking’. Because she gave me a lot of information about this. She gave me some links to articles stated by a tabloid. It was years ago when the so-called ‘rival’ of Anderson Steel Corporation and Skytouch Company; a much successful contractual company for constructions of skyscrapers, had been the talk of the town. A steel supplier company and a contractual company for an issue of rivalry? That’s oddly to happen. For su
He stared at my eyes for so long. He eyed every corner of my face as if he’s looking for something on it. His jaw clenched repeatedly. ”I’ll order our food.” He stood up.My jaw dropped, shock by his action. Did he just…”E-Elijah,” Hr ran his fingers to his hair and came to the door’s direction, but walked back to the bed again. He wet his lips as he watched me sit on his bed. ”Didn’t you hear me?” I can’t help but to feel bitter. He wet his lips again. He can’t even look me in the eye. ”I said I want you.” My voice cracked. He turned his back and both of his hands went into his head. He’s really looking so frustrated by what he’s seeing and hearing. ”Why? Do I not attract you? Am I disgusting?” ”No!” ”Then why?” I ra
I sat silently at the dining area, my seat opposite to his. Food was served on the table that was delivered by his men. I can’t look into his eyes but I still made sure that he would know that any of his opinions won’t matter. ”Aren’t you gonna eat?” I raised a brow. He clenched his jaw and glared at me darkly. I just rolled my eyes and grabbed every food that I could eat. Just like the first time we ate dinner. I acted like I hadn't eaten for years and didn’t know table manners, because he hates that. And I love things that he hates, no scratch that. I love seeing him hate and fuming mad. The last thing I ate was the crème brulée. And in my last bite, I looked at him sensually, licking the spoon. His neck is getting red, a sign of his restraint of emotion. He’s just watching me with his dark sharp eyes that I almost thought that it would actually scar me.&rdqu
I have no idea where we’re going.Sibal won’t say anything and I don’t want to text Elijah just for that. I just wore casual coordinates. A high waist jeans and a cropped ribbed tank top, I paired it with white sneakers which are new clothing for me. I usually don’t mind the clothes that I wear but since Elijah bought me lots of clothes might as well use it. ”Where is he, Sibal?” I asked him because I’m so bored. ”At the Anderson’s ma’am.” I pouted and nodded. We’re going to his company? Actually I don’t know how I would be after days that I avoided him. Did he even forget what happened? Cause to be honest I’m still so embarrassed. ”This way ma’am.” Sibal paved the way to the entrance.I can’t help but feel anxious about entering his building. Some eyes were on me and the guards gr
I wasn’t so sure if this was a date. Perhaps, he really wants to make it up with me. Even though I’m not sure if he really did something to me. It’s more like, I’m doing something to him and I should be the one who’s sorry.It wasn’t a bad idea. Actually I liked it. It brings out the child in me. Since it’s almost evening, the fair lights everywhere give enough vibes in the theme park. There are a lot of different people. May it be kids, family, teens and couples. Name it all. Some rides are breathtaking because of how high they are. Some are just enough to give a light thump in my heart.We held each other’s hands while we walked inside. I don’t know what we’re supposed to do here because it feels like he doesn't have any plans of doing any activities. It didn’t pass my eye how some women of any age linger their eyes on him. And when they are seeing how my hands are clasped to his, their express
I once saw a movie. You know those scenes when the protagonist's view becomes blurry and only focuses on a person? For a time I saw him that way. It’s like other things got more blurry and useless. The only one that’s clear is him.The only amusement ride we rode is the ferris wheel, because that’s the only ride that doesn’t have much line. I got a bit scared when we reached the top but Elijah’s hands were there to steal my attention every time I felt nervous.”I’m sorry about that night.”I glanced at him. For a while I didn’t know what he’s talking about but soon I got what he’s saying.”You know that-””It’s not a good idea to talk about it now, Ej. I’m hella freaking out.” I groaned.He chuckled and pressed me to his body more. I shrieked because the gondola swayed while it’s still going.
I can’t contain my excitement the next morning. I woke up early to send Elijah off to work. He questioned why I woke up so early. I’m just curious about the conditions he’s saying.I quietly listened to him and Sibal talked about some reminders that he gave. It might be not exactly the way I wanted, but at least he let me. He’s true to his words. He’s letting me go out without him but with Sibal. At least, I’m not locked up here."Message me when you're going out." he said before leaving."But you're busy."”Just message me. I’ll find time to reply. ”I nodded. He kissed my forehead before leaving.After fixing some things in his penthouse I busied myself preparing to leave. I wore simple coordinates. Before telling Sibal we’re going, I message Elijah that I’ll be going to a library. I&rs
I thought her words would affect me. For the first time I got so mad at her words. Not with her but with her words. I just thought that people may see it that way. But for me, all I want is for them to pay.It’s just people would not understand. People will not get it unless we’re in the same shoe. So what if I’ll be evil? Wasn’t I valid to be this way after all the evilness they did to me? Just like in the court, when the victim says he or she did that as self defense and pleaded not guilty. That’s me.I’m doing this for myself. And the fact that this is a long overdue self defense is something. I suffered for how many years, thinking that this is fine, but it’s not. This is enough. I’ve had enough.”Sibal,” I called him while he’s driving. I saw him looking at me through the rear view mirror.”Can you stop by an ice cr
