I was very devastated. I feel like this is something I would never want anyone to experience. It feels so awful. It feels like I have been punched several times. The feeling wherein you want to defend yourself so bad but people around you already made up their minds. They already believed what they feel is true.

I was not even able to sleep that night. I was staring at the dark ceiling of the room, thinking what else I could do to defend myself. What if Governor would fire me? What if they will not listen to my explanation? No. I can't lose this job. This is very important for us. I need this job.

Governor Fronacio summoned me to his office room the following day. I look like a mess when I look at myself in the mirror when I woke up. I probably slept for half an hour. I am not even sure if I fell asleep or I was just making things in my head.

When I entered the office room, I saw him sitting behind the table. He looked like he was deep in thoughts when I saw him. But his eyes immedi

    "Hi!" I giggled like a kid when I opened our gate. I saw him standing outside, wearing a dark blue shirt and white taslan shorts. He was holding some brown paper bags.Ravaniel smiled as he walked towards me. He reached my arm and gently pulled me closer to him to plant a kiss on my forehead and lips."What are those?" I pouted at the paper bags in his hands."Breakfast," he simply said."But I am cooking. You did not even tell me that you were planning to buy some breakfast.""It is okay, baby. We can share these to our neighbors." He smiled gently as he stared at me.I pulled his arm and walked towards our house. I let him go when we got inside and went straight to our kitchen. I almost forgot that I was cooking some garlic rice.I sighed in relief when I saw that it was still good. I thought I burnt it. A pair of arms wrapped around my waist while I was checking the garlic rice."Smells fantastic," Ravaniel whispered as he kissed my exposed shoulder.I rolled my eyes. "It is just a

    "W-What..." My lips trembled. "What do you mean?" I gasped as I tried to decipher Rael's words.He smiled bitterly. "My brother had already ruined his life, baby..." His tears fell and my heart broke into million pieces.I pulled him closer to me and hugged him so tightly. He sobbed like a kid in my neck. He was whispering some words I could not even understand. I know that he was sad and angry about what his brother had done. Even I, myself, could not imagine that Ravnal had done such thing. I cooked for Ravaniel. He was not talking that much. I know that he still feels lost about Ravnal.I tried to entertain him so he could forget about his brother even for a while. I told him to relax but he just smiled at me and kissed my forehead.When I came back to the mansion, I keep myself busy with cleaning. I am very worried about Ravaniel but he assured me that he is going to be okay. I have been thinking if I could see Ravnal and talk to him. I also want to check how he has been this pas

    "I hate you! How could you do this to me!" I sobbed painfully as I tried to push Ravaniel but his arms were tight around me. I doubt if he would ever let me go as his hug was so tight that I could not even move. There were already some people outside the elevator, wanting to enter but they were hesitant. Ravaniel seemed to be careless about the people watching us. He was still on his knees, hugging myself, burying his face on my stomach as he cried harder."Enough! I am breaking up with you! Let's stop this so you could freely do whatever you want in your life!""Baby, no..." He shook his head miserably as his hug tightened. "Do not do this to me. I will die...""Then fucking die! I do not care!" I yelled with so much hatred. I did not even feel any guilt after saying those words. I was blinded by my wrath, pain and all that I was feeling at the moment.I was pushing his head but he never moved. I could feel my shirt wet by his tears.Just a few moments, two security showed up.

    I do not know if it is good for me to stay here at the Fronacios' mansion if Governor has feelings for me. But I need this job. What should I do?I am not really sure how to act infront of Governor Fronacio. I always catch him staring at me. And it scares me. What if people notice it also? What would they think? I know that it is not appropriate especially how Governor stares at me. It was full of... love. He always smiles whenever our eyes meet. I just swallowed and look away to avoid him.I know that the only thing I have to do is to leave this place but I just can't do that. This job is important to me. I need this job.

    Ravnal left home after our quick conversation. Somehow, he made me happy. I could feel the love of him but not in a romantic way, of course. I could feel his concern towards me. He knows that I am hurt and I need someone to talk to. I am glad that he visited me even at this late hour just to check on me. I could not be even more grateful.For the whole two months, I live my life alone. I have already found a good job that offers high salary. It was in a restaurant.My phone rang when I was preparing to go home. It was Ravnal."Hey," he greeted."Hello. Yes?""I am just wondering if you are free tonight?" he asked curiously.My brows knitted. "Uhm, yes, I am. Why? Is there any problem?""No. Today is our first anniversary. I want to surprise Rose so I thought of calling you to help me." He laughed.I smiled. "Oh. Yes. Of course. I will help you.""Thanks. I will just fetch you at the restaurant.""Okay. I will wait.""No. Actually, I am already here. Outside."My eyes widened. "Are you

    When I finished cooking, we started eating. I was watching Ravnal silently while we were eating. I could say that he acts... normal now. I do not know what is happening to him but I am certain that he is not in the right state of mind.Does he use drugs again? That is not impossible. He has done it before. He will do it again if he wants to even though he has been in a rehabilitation center.He volunteered to wash the dishes. He even told me to go back to the room and take a shower so I took that opportunity to look for my phone. I am not sure if it is in his pocket or what. But I tried to find it in the room. I moved quickly. I do not want him to see me rummaging through the cabinet. He will surely think that I am doing something and that is what I am avoiding to happen.But I failed. I did not see my phone. It must be in his pocket. Right. He is not stupid to just leave it here in the room.I closed my eyes tightly as I released a deep breath. Okay. Now, I should just take a shower.

    "Thank you so much!" I smiled at the cashier and grabbed the brown paper bag. My water jug is empty so I bought a bottled water at a convenience store. I went for a jogging this morning. Ravaniel was still asleep when I left. He was sleeping soundly. Our plan was to job together but when I woke up, I noticed that he was so tired so I just let him sleep there and went on a jogging alone.I was wearing a white sport bra and biker shorts with my white shoes. I gulped my water down before I continued jogging. I decided to buy pasta for our kids. It is their favorite food but of course I do not let them eat it every single day because it is not healthy. I entered the restaurant.There were three people inside. It is too early that is why.I sat on one of the table as I waited for the pasta. I checked my phone. There was still no message or any call from Ravaniel. He was still probably sleeping.My eyes shifted at the door entrance. A man entered the restaurant. Like me, he was also wearin

    I cried myself to sleep that night. I do not even know what time I fell asleep. I do not even know how long I have been crying. But all I know was my heart feels so heavy and painful when I woke up the next day."Ravaniel is still outside. I think he slept in his car..."I was shocked to hear my mother's words. But I remained cold. I did not let them see any emotion in me. Ravaniel and I are done. Whatever happened between us is a sin. It was a mistake that I should forget.He is married. He has a kid. I do not have the right to be in his life and I refuse to be part of his life. I do not want to settle for a married man. I am not that desperate.And I regret everything that had happened between us.I looked at the window of my room and there, I saw his car. I am not sure if how long he has been there but I heard that since last night, his car is already there but he never went out. He remained inside his car.I swallowed. What is he still doing there if he is not coming out?"Nathrel
