Carmina's hands were shaking as she placed the cup of coffee on the table, “What is it that you want to talk.. Sir?” she asked, nervously.

Although she had expected this, still, she wasn't prepared for it to be that sooner.

After the night that her car got stolen and she was left in the deserted road, she has always been cautious of her surroundings whenever she goes out.

It's only been a few days since it happened. That's why she thought the old man would wait for at least a week to give her time to think about it.

Carmina was ready to go to work when she was summoned by the familiar man to come with him. It felt like a deja vu. And even though she wanted to run away, she knew she had no place to hide and the old man would always find her wherever she went.

Sitting with a hard pounding chest, she found herself there in front of the same old person she had never wished to see again.

“Are you still friends with Sebastian Lee?” Thomas Mendez queried straightforwardly.

Then, he shook his head. “You know, I'm paranoid when it comes to your safety, Sandra. I'm sorry but I'm not really sorry for doing that,” he added. Sandra didn't respond as her shoulders shook vehemently. Her eyes were fixated at the picture of the guy with lots of flowers around him.“That's the information I have gathered. I'm sorry..” Thomas stated as he watched his daughter's state. "No.." the young girl shook her head profusely as she continued trying to convince herself that he

    Sebastian was busy talking with his brother in his studio when his phone suddenly rang. For a moment he thought that it was Sandra that just by hearing the ring, it instantly put a smile on his face. “You're so whipped, bro,” Simon commented as he watched his older brother smiling like an idiot. Sebastian ignored him as he pulled out his phone and answered it without looking at the name of the caller on other screen. “Yes, love. You miss me?” he asked with a huge smile on his face. “S-sorry..” The smile on Sebastian's face instantly disappeared as it was replaced by a scowled. Immediately, he looked at the screen only to see Carmina's name in it. He suddenly turned cold as he felt immediately annoyed, in embarrassment and disappointment. “Please don't hang up! This is very important, Sebastian!” Carmina quickly said before he could press the end call button. The woman had been trying to approach him but he was still refusing. Although Sandra had tried to talk to him about her

    Sebastian cursed mentally. His hands turned cold as he's got frozen and stunned at the sight of Thomas Mendez for the third time. It felt like a deja vu only without Sandra beside him now but his brother, Simon. And he felt more scared than he was back then for the same reason that his fiancée wasn't beside him. Sebastian was already in panic before they arrived in the mansion, therefore, his mind was already in chaos to think straight. Meanwhile, Simon halted behind him and stared at the old man with a frown. They young guy had not seen Thomas Mendez in person that near before and seeing him fact to face that moment made him felt like he was seeing a very big Hollywood celebrity. The young guy's eyes lit up as his expression showed excitement, opposite to his brother who seemed like running out of blood and was about to pass out in any second. “Where is Sandra Sissy?” asked Simon, casually breaking the deafening silence. Thomas who was sitting like a king on the golden chair shi

    “How am I better than my brother?” asked Simon as he blinked several times. He genuinely didn't know why Thomas said that when he obviously didn't know his brother. And he thought the old man was just prejudiced against his older brother. Meanwhile, Sebastian clenched his fists as he casted his eyes downward and stared at his shoes. He cannot lie to himself that he wasn't affected by what Thomas had said because it was something he wanted to hear from the father of the woman he loved. To make him say that he was better than any other guys. He didn't want to hear the answer because his insecurities were just going to heighten more and he was afraid he'd hate his brother for it. Not only because of the fact that he complimented him but also, he compared the young guy to him and blatantly said his brother was better than him. ‘What did he mean by that?’ he asked himself. However, he hates it and just hates his brother simply because it was not Simon's fault. Sebastian shook his hea

    Sebastian quickly ran and left the mansion without saying anything to Thomas after learning about the press conference. He didn't know any details and all he could think about was to find where exactly it was being held and stop it. “Bro! Wait!” Simon ran after him. He ignored him and hastily passed through the gate. He didn't notice the old guard was back already and the latter was shocked to see them inside. “Sir! When did you come here?” the guard asked but he got ignored. Fortunately, Simon heard him and his eyes lit up upon seeing him. “Mr. Sue! You're back! But sorry, let's chat next time. We're in a hurry!” After saying that, Simon quickly trailed behind his brother once again.He screamed when he almost missed the car because Sebastian was already seated in the driver's seat and had immediately started the engine. “Don't leave me here!” Simon screamed and quickly climbed in the passenger's seat. “You shouldn't leave your Uncle,” Sebastian hissed. Simon shook his head a

    “Fvck! Fvck! Fvck!” Sebastian cursed loudly as the car finally stopped on the side of the road. His hands were trembling as he was scared for Carmina. Although the woman has sinned him, it can't just erase his care for her as he treated her as his real sister he never had. Suddenly, he regretted avoiding her. If something happened to her, he won't be able to forgive himself for not giving her a chance to apologize to him. He shut his eyes, he was still in panic about not knowing where Sandra was and not to mention about the press conference that was currently happening. And he felt like his energy suddenly got drained after knowing that Carmina was taken while she was on the phone with them. His jaw clenched as he mentally cursed Thomas Mendez. He's going to blame everything on him because he was sure he was behind all of this. Immediately, he pulled out his phone and tried to contact Sandra again. “Try to call Carmina again!” He then ordered Simon while he was busy with his pho

    Sandra silently sat on the chair and didn't touch the food in front of her. Instead, she folded her arms as she leaned back and stared blankly at the guy who was taking his time eating the sumptuous breakfast he ordered for the two of them. “What do you want?” she asked coldly. She was already getting impatient as she was already sitting there for five minutes, but the guy had not said anything aside from telling her to eat. “Jay,” she called as her voice became stern. Jay's lips instantly curved a lopsided smile upon hearing his name from her mouth. It was as if her voice was music to his ears despite the firmness of its tone. “Let's eat first, babe…” he responded as he lazily stirred his coffee while his eyes finally met hers. Sandra's brows furrowed as she stared at the guy. “You know why I only agreed to meet you. If you won't talk now, I'll better leave,” she stated. The guy's beamed turned to a smirk and seemed not to be bothered by her threat. He put down the teaspoon gen

She was about to leave when Jay spoke again which made her feet get rooted on the spot. “Don't you want to know what it is?” he queried as his eyes were blazing in menace, “It's a surprise prepared by your friend for you and for your boy toy,” he sneakered.Sandra's eyes squinted as she turned her head and looked behind her shoulder. Her eyes then landed on Jay, who was standing casually just behind her and saw his sly grin that she knew was only meant bad news. She has a number of people she can call friends, but she knew immediately who he was pertaining to because she's the only person they were trying to recruit for their schemes against her and Sebastian. And it's none other than Carmina.

He heard the loud beeping from the other line which meant that the call ended by the other party. However, his hand vibrated right after which caught his attention back and snapped him out from being astonished. Reluctantly, he checked the screen and saw Bammie's name flashed on it. He quickly answered it in case it was Sandra but only to be disappointed when it was her best friend instead. “Come here faster at the Crown building,” she said, sounding in haste.

    “Are you married?” Thomas straightforwardly asked in a low baritone voice that gave everyone goosebumps except for Sandra. The old man didn't bother to say any greetings, not even wait for Sandra to ask him why he was suddenly there and just went straight to the point and asked her about the news. Meanwhile, Sandra folded her arms across her chest as she equalled her father's murderous stares. She looked calm and seemed unbothered and not scared with the presence of the intimidating old man, most probably because she was as intimidating as him as well. “Yes,” she answered without any hesitation. Then the corner of her lips slowly lifted upward as her eyes sparkled brightly, “But not with Jay Kim,” she immediately corrected before her father could ask if Jay's paper was not fake.Simon, Carmina and Levi gasped loudly upon hearing Sandra's answer. They all then turned to Sebastian suspiciously and saw the guy bowing his head looking guilty while fidgeting with his fingers. Sandra hea

    Bammie and Levi's pictures immediately spread out in all social media sites, since it happened in public and everyone who was casually walking in the hallway that time grabbed their phones and captured the moment when the two decided to display their affection there. Minutes later, rumors about their relationship followed, as the reporters who were just in the auditorium nearby immediately got the report about the scene outside and took the opportunity for a juicy scoop.

    Levi looked behind his shoulder as he noticed that Sandra was missing. His thick brows then furrowed upon seeing the woman was left behind there, immobile and stayed still on her spot while looking somewhere else. Following her line of vision, Levi's jaw instantly clenched when he caught a stranger hiding behind the huge plant decoration, in a nearby distance on the right corner of the hallway, holding a camera that was directed towards them and obviously taking pictures.His gaze then went back to Sandra and immediately, his thick eyebrows pulled together as he wondered why the camera was on them when the woman they were after was on the other side.

However, it would be impossible because the woman was slimmer than the other two.
