MIGUEL.

..

I enter the room, with my steps almost unsteady, and my head heavy with so much thoughts.

Noticing me, the trio stood up, stalking to me in their sexy skimpy skirts.

One place a hand on my shoulder, the other taking my palm in hers, another going behind me to give me a hug..but all these suddenly felt foreign.

I signalled for them to get away and they did, throwing me a look contained with both amusement and confusion.

Racheal, the eldest daughter of the industry making most of my apparels, scoffs.

"What is this? Is that you acting like a married man?"

"Of course not. If not, why would he call us here?" Ivy, the daughter of one of the board members chuckles.

The third one?

My eyes darts to her, and she bowed her head..

She was just like her, so I had brought her in, and Racheal and Ivy had thrown tantrums about having to be with someone of low class like her.

I don't sleep around with cheap sluts, but she was the only one I bent the rule for, just like I did for her - A

    Angela...I was too late, as usual. Mother was always a step ahead of me.I plop on the bed. How did she found out that such document even exists?Too tired to start tearing up or hurt my brain with thoughts of how I hate her, I just fell asleep.The next day, I woke up to my mysterious phone ringing.I picked the call, hesitantly."Am I speaking with miss Wilson?" A male voice penetrates out of the phones speaker."Hm.""I am barrister Collins. I was your father's lawyer when he was alive and-""So why are you calling now after all these years?" I didn't wait for him to finish his words.He sighed. "I'm calling you because you just fulfilled the first requirements left by your father. Can we meet in person and talk?"Requirements?What requirements?"You needed to talk to someone before, surely his lawyer would be of much help." I concluded in my head."Sure. Let's meet in an hour time." I utter then hang up.I did the basic cleanliness hygiene and dress up in an oversized leather

    I was about to step out of the opened door when barrister called on to me."Miss Angela?"I throw my head back at me, and he smiles, folding his big arms on his broad chest.My guess is that he is been frequenting the gym and he looks a lot younger for his age."Did you considered what he wants when you were making a decision?"My brows arched, "who? Father?""Mr Winslow, your husband. You don't seem to want a kid but he might?""What? Uhmm..Barrister, I am sure that is the least of his plans." I forced a chuckle but stopped when I saw the stern look on his face."Still, you might want to take on the second requirements since it's a prerequisite for the third stage anyways." He remarked.I heaved out a sigh, before blinking."I'll think about it.""Nothing much to think about. Your father held you in one of his high hopes. It's time you make him see that he was right to have put his trust in you.""Who? My father?" I almost throw off in fits of laughter."It might not have seemed like

    ABIGAIL...The servings of different dishes illuminates under the chandeliers hanging down the restaurant's ceiling.We stare at each other for minutes before I spoke up, catching along with the violinist heightening the tune he was playing."Why do you all appear so rotten?" My eyes move to the foods on the table."If you feel too mighty to greet an elder, you should accept their kind gesture then.I heard you like shrimps so I got the kitchen prepare them specially for you."Hr gave the food s look before chuckling."It's the opposite. Your info must have developed a bug."My jaw tightened before I release a smile to mask my dissatisfaction."Family bonds is really unbreakable. Nothing has been finalised yet but we are pretty much the same. We want and chase after similar things." I pick my words slowly.His eyes twitch before he pulled the bridge of his nose."Clarifications will be appreciated.""You're really clueless, aren't you?"

    Angela...I throw a "don't tell him" look at Vanessa and she nodded, going ahead to openly demonstrate zipping her mouth shut.I grunt."I definitely heard someone saying they want a baby.."he drawled, moving inside.Nervousness cuts through my spines as I chuckle, giving Vanessa a pleading look."I...was on a call?" Her head tug to the side before she looks at me.I squint my eyes, shaking my head.That was definitely not a good lie.When i saw she couldn't be of much help, I sigh then look at him."Fine, I was asking her if you'd like a baby.." i blurt before shrinking my face away in disgrace.He spits out the water in his mouth."Wha-at?""Didn't even remember such exists."I sighed. "Yeah? I was only asking and no, I don't want one. I am always this curious." I gulped hard before standing up and walking out awkwardly.Shit, the abrupt heat in there was insane.When I settled in for the night, my cellphone dings with a message from barrister - he has just sent me the address.I n

    I took in a deep breath in before trying to find something... anything at all.I could feel others' eyes on me too.Christ, why the heck did they have to be coming for the meeting now?Wait.."Are you guys the one proposing the collaboration or them?""Them, of course. That's why they're coming down here." Billie responded, throwing her shoulders up in the air."Hey Billie, get off her tail. She hasn't fully settle in yet." Maria spoke.Her desk was in the front..the only one there, and this gives her the chance for her eyes to run around and catch whoever is slacking off."Shoot, I... didn't have the intention to make her uncomfortable... just asking for tips." Billie puffs out "That's cheating." Maria said with a stern gaze."No, miss Maria.. we're marketing department so there's nothing like that.

    We were all seated in the meeting room, the other from Winslow's company facing us and their eyes seem to be particularly fond of me. I blink, looking everywhere but them. Janice seems to notice my uneasiness as she clears her throat. "Can...we start, now?" "Fvck, that's my line." i heard Billie rumble before she stood up. "Yes, please. It is nice to have you here, Mrs Winslow." The one who looks like their leader commented. I almost blurt "do you know me?" until I remember our wedding was one weird one...and the news about it is still everywhere.. "Besides, how could they not know the wife of their boss?" Janice whisper in my ears and I chuckle, looking into her eyes. I think I'll be dumping my other self now that I've found her. She always get me, understand me, what I will say, or do.. everything!! Her lips tries to form in a smile but she quickly tighten it, sniffing and looking away from me, suddenly recollecting she was supposed to be angry at me. It would

I look up to see a worried look on his face."What's with that look? Don't tell me it's still about what-""No, boss. The marketing department went to company for the meeting they had on collaboration.""Do I have to hear little reports now?" I scoffed.He sighed. "Guess who they found?"I circle my index finger around my eye, tired of this quiz.I didn't get any sleep the previous night, which cause a swell underneath my eyes."Who?" My voice was low.He sighed again and I take a deep breath in."I would actually be glad if this was about you cheating on your wife..." He drawled, obviously to get me riled up.My head shot up at him."Your wife was found there and guess what? She's got a little cutie by her side.

We both had to build our castles from the scratch, not inheriting a built one like others.Since he has refused to meet, I had no choice but to meet with Abigail."I knew you will come back," she says, a light smirk gracing her lips."What were you going to do if I didn't xall you here today?"

    Janice...Getting home after a long day, I was incredibly tired and wanted nothing but to sleep.I input my apartment passcode and enter, shutting it.My legs weakened at the sight before me. Several bottles of alcohols were on the table and the pillows were on the floor, everything was in a disorganized state.I let out a breath. It would never get old. It's like a circle, one I'm use to getting caught in.I roll my sleeves up, dropping my bag on the couch and packing the bottles one after the other, arranging them in a carton.After tidying up everywhere, I slept off... My senses awakened the next day from bites on my earlobe."Babe.."his breath fan my neck.I roll away from his hold, wanting to get some more sleep but his scent csme to my nostrils again as he scooted closer."Babe, I need money...hm?"

He asks ad I look up at the hospital."I don't know, she has her..girl with her, I don't want to interrupt.""Regardless, she is your wife and you... ""I have more pressing matters, Pierre." I snap my fingers at him before he blabs on.I enter the car and he came to the driver's seat, sparing me a look from the rear view mirror."You called me father earlier today.."he had a funny expression on his face.I sighs, resting my head on my chin."Why would I?""You said pere which means father in French when you were rushing to save the miss."

She ask softly as we both sat in the ward, only the mixture of our smell and the curious sound of our hearts were in earshot."Not yet." I responded and she nod."Good. Don't watch it..."she says."I have too. I can't escape it forever." I reply.She seem to think about it for some seconds before nodding."You've grown.."I heard her mutter as she looks at my chest.A breath got stuck in my throat before I stifle a laughter."Hey, what are you talking about it? And stop looking at me passionately like that, it makes me feel you're in love with me." She raise her eyes to the level of mine and bore them into my soul as if she hid a hold in my pupils.I furrowed my brows and she chuckle."I am straight, girl. And oh, I am not marri

I knew she would be disoriented by the speech her mother was giving to the press.Never knew she would be more pained by my betrayal.After trying her number for the fourth time and it says she wasn't picking, I called for fifth time when it says the phone was unreachable.And, it wasn't long before Pierre, the bearer of bad news came forth, shoving a video in my face."She...she threw her bag from the rooftop....she.. she ...she fell..she fell.." he explained out of breaths.I ran out of the office, expecting him to follow me but he stood there, reading comments and rewatching the video again from the commenters' perspectives."Fvck it, Pierre!

    I roll over on the surface, it was soft yet so unsettling.I touch my head, feeling things are a bit of a burden there before I open my eyes, taking in the environment.I stare at the white ceiling, the one I was always met with after several check-ups in the past.I roll to my side and found him staring at me, relief washing over him."How do you feel?" He asks, moving his hand closer to my forehead but I jerk my head back, his hand going into contact with the pillow instead."Why are you here?" I question, trying to recollect my last memory and the one I got was when I fell on the rooftop."I will have the doctor run a check-up, you don't look too well," he says instead, standing up from the chair."Why are you here?" I ask, louder this time and with my heart picking a dangerous race to run.The usual smell of hospital rush into my nostrils and I sigh weakly, trying to control the urge to puke."I..I am sorry.." he goes to say and if it weren't for the migraine, I would have burst

My second chimes in my head.My pupils dilates in confusion as they graze over them - I had thought we had hit it off the other day.Janice stood up from her seat before coming to grab me to the rooftop."Janice..." I smile, excited that she gave me face today.Yesterday, she left no time for us to catch up, finding excuses upon excuses...loads of them actually, for her to avoid me.But after the meeting yesterday, I conversed with other workers and they made me feel welcomed."Don't you... don't you dare smile like that," her breath came out ruffle, her pinky finger pointing at me.I tilt my head to the left, my right leg taking a step ahead of the left, smiling again."Whay is up, Janice?

Why don't we just let the termites in our hearts out?" He said."The last time I ate a braised chicken soup was when Wilson was still alive.I was going to eat in his remembrance today but a piece of news turn the good mood over the fence, and all i taste right now is poison!"
