Pablo had no idea that Lucia and Johnny had broken up. So he thought Jonny was doing this for his sister. He was really glad that at least there was one other person who could make Lucia happy aside from him.

" I would have to thank him later. He hasn't been here yet today."

Since Lucia didn't want to add up to the young boy's problems, she didn't tell him about she and Jonny.

" I'll tell him for you when I meet him."

As they talked about random stuff, Pablo fell asleep. Lucia looked at him sleeping soundly and sighed.

She had to look for the director personally. With that she told auntie Pam." aunt Pam, I'll leave first."

" okay. you take care of yourself out there. "

"okay" With that she walked out of the ward.

okay" With that she walked out of the ward.

Lucia went back to doctor Gabby's office and knocked on the door. A nurse opened the door and asked her to enter.

Doctor Gabby look up from his folder and smiled when he saw Lucia again.

This young lady really was admirable. Though at his age, he's met a lot of different people who are attentive to their sick family members, Lucia's zeal and never ending gusto in never loosing hope in curing her brother. He hoped that the director would really help the siblings. They have suffered.

" Miss Acosta, please sit."

" thank you doctor." Lucia answered and sat on the chair offered.

" doctor Gabby, please how do I meet your hospital's director?

" I want to thank him. And also ask about the socialite blood donation club. "

"ehhr... Miss Acosta, with this I don't know what to do about it."

" I can only find out from the psychiatric department head who is also the foundations' head. I can't promise anything though, because our director hardly comes here. And it's even harder to find him at the head quarters as well without an appointment."

Lucia frowned. She knew it was going to be harder than climbing mount tai, if she wanted to meet the director.

After all she didn't believe that this director set up the cancer foundation just for them. So why would he meet an insignificant figure like her. But she was going to go look for him anyway. For Pablo's sake.

" you don't have to worry doctor. You just have to let me know where he'll be tomorrow. "

" okay. Let me call the psychiatric department head and find out for you."

With that he picked up the landline and made a call to the psychiatry department. After a few rings the phone was picked up.

" yeah, doctor Gabby. I was about to go look for you. "

" the guardian of the patient who needs the RH negative blood for the surgery has to go meet the director at the club house tomorrow. "

" He said he needs more details on why she can't donate. As well as some paper works."

Doctor Gabby was very surprised. He looked over at Lucia again. Who was this woman or what and where was she getting all this misterious help from.

" okay. I'll let her know as soon as possible. "

After he ended the call, he looked at Lucia again. He just couldn't understand.

" Miss Lucia. Do you really not know of anyone from the socialite club?"

Lucia looked at him and shook her head, puzzled as to why he keeps asking this same question. Is anything the matter?"

" well... The psychiatry department head was the one I just spoke to. .and he's saying that the director wants to meet you... tomorrow, at the socialite club. "

As soon as Lucia heard this she stood up, surprised and happy. " really?" Did I really hear you right doctor?"

She couldn't believe it. She was fretting on how to go to the club. She didn't think that help would come this soon.

But wait, how did the director know that she will go to look for him?

Who was this person? Was he a friend or foe?

She sat back down. " doctor, thank you for all your help."

" you're welcome." doctor Gabby replied.

Lucia walked out of the office in deep thought. A lot of things has happened in these few days which was already draining. She needed some sleep if she is to go to the club tomorrow.

As she came out of the hospital and hailed a taxi, she closed her eyes for a nap after telling the driver her destination.

––––––––––––––––––––––––

The next day Lucia got up early as she didn't want to be late for her appointment with the hospital's director. As she got down from her bed, the door to the bathroom opened.

Jael, Lucia's friend and room mate in Professional Arts and Culture University. They've been friends from high school up until today. At times people mistake her to be Lucia's real sister. As she was always the first to stand up for her when people tried to bully her way back in high school. And she's been like that until now.

As Jael walked out of the bathroom, she saw that Lucia had woken up.

" You're up?" I thought you'll be sleeping in for a while since today is the weekend."

Lucia smiled. " mummy, I'm sorry but I can't sleep in today." I have an appointment."

Jael side eyed her. " who is your mummy?" who wants to give birth to a stubborn bull like you."

" where are you going to by the way? "

Though she didn't see much of Lucia on campus last night, she knew that Lucia would be with Pablo. Aside from school, Pablo and sometimes work, there's nothing else that can take that much of Lucia's time. Of course there was Jonny that scumbag, but

but he was history now. They didn't need a disappointment like him in their lives.

Though Lucia had not told her what really happened, she could tell from the little that she knew that Lucia would always make the right choice.

" I'm going to the socialite club to look for Reoyl University hospital's director. We got a foundation to cater for Pablo's operation."

" their going to get blood from the socialite club. "

Jael looked at Lucia, shocked. Where was the socialite club? It was a club made up of the prominent figures of the country. Most of it's members were politicians, business tycoons, legendary celebrities and the likes. Simply put, it was a club that housed the most important persons of the country.

And Lucia is saying that Pablo could get blood donation from their club?!

" this is huge Lucia. I'm really happy for you. Now Pablo can live a normal life. "

" That boyfriend thief thought she was going to make you suffer by pulling out her funds, I wonder how her face would look like when she finds this out. "

Jael really wanted to tire that fake face syringed with collagen apart. She's never seen a sister who could hate on her own sibling like that.

Lucia was touched, seeing how Jael was always there to support her as and when ever there's a need for it.

" Don't bother about them for the time being."

Let me go look for that person first. I don't know who is helping me out in the shadows. "

" then let me come with you." what if it's a fraud? " Lucia laughed at her remarks.

" silly. How can a big hospital like Reoyl be a victim of fraud."

“ okay, if you say so."

" but you have to be careful when you get there."

" I will, mummy." Lucia answered as she entered the. bathroom to shower.

" you.... " Jael sighed as she watched her back. She fervently prayed to God to make everything go smoothly. Lucia really deserved the be happy.

  • Her Man   It was Lucia!... Whose car was that?

    When they got to the school, it was very dark. And most of the students were already in their hostels. But a few who normally like night outings were also on their way out.Lucia told the chauffeur to drop her off at the gate. But he drove into campus after looking in the rearview mirror at Leon, who didn't instruct him to stop.Lucia had no choice but to let him.Not that she minded Leon dropping her off. But lately rumors have been flying around about her break up with Johnny. She didn't know who got the information first, but she was certain that Renata had something to do with it.She won't stop until she took everything away from her. She's always been like that since they were young. But this time, she won't give up anything anymore for her. She was going to go all out if Renata tries to put her down again.The car stopped at the car park. She turned to Leon and said. " thank you for driving me home." then she opened the door to get out.But after taking a few steps, Leon called

  • Her Man   Jealously distorted her facial expression as she thought about the past.

    As the window still did not roll down despite all the knocking, Renata was slightly furious. Who did this person think he is?!If not for the fact that she wanted to know what relationship he had with Lucia, she wouldn't even walk to this car, not to talk of jumping infront of it at the risk of her life.After a few more knocks and finding out that the window won't budge, she started speaking. Thinking that the man would open the window if she mentions Lucia."Hello, mister. Sorry to trouble you. I know you don't know me.I’m Lucia’s sister. I just saw her get out of your car. How do you know my sister?”Renata refused to believe that any man could ignore her and continued knocking on the window. A few seconds later, the car window slowly rolled down. When she saw the man sitting in the car, Renata felt her breath hitch. Her heart also skipped a beat. The car was parked at a spot which has less illumination and the window was only half opened, but this did not prevent her from seeing th

  • Her Man   “You’re not even worthy of my time ”

    The man did not bother to cover up his indifference and disdain towards her at all. He didn't even glance at her once. Renata’s expression instantly changed, turning extremely ugly. She always thought that she was popular with the opposite sex. Ever since she was little, all the guys she liked always chased after her. And she made sure to have them rapped around her finger. No matter what they did and how much they tried to ignore her, she always has a way of drawing their attention towards her. Even Johnny who was said to have deep affection for Lucia broke up with Lucia for her. So she did not think that she wouldn't be able to draw this handsome man into her net as well. Since she was pretty and could easily seduced even Johnny, it would be easy for her to get any other guy. But unexpectedly, not only did this man not fall for her charm, but he also showed her a look of disgust. Pure disgust!This was a huge blow to Renata's pride. There was a look of shame and indignation on her

  • Her Man    “Missing me already?”

    “I didn’t think that this cute little Lolita would be such a bully. As expected of a princess of a rich family. They always feel they’re above everyone else.” Jael lamented as they made their way downstairs.“Let’s just mind our business while we’re here. We only have six months to perfect our courses before we debut.”“Yeah, I’m aware of that.” Jael pouted.it’s not like we’ll be the ones looking for trouble anyway. I just hope some people won’t come looking for our trouble.”Going downstairs and out of the building, they walked towards the main building. Before they got to the main building, though, they had to pass by the male dormitory.As they turned into a corner facing the main building, they bumped into a teenage boy who was between fifteen and seventeen years old, trying to run away from some people.“I’m sorry… I’m really sorry.” He shouted as he left them and climbed up the window of the basement of the male dorm building. Just as Jael was about to shout after him, a group

  • Her Man   Oh, so handsome!

    Lucia entered Pablo’s room after taking a shower. Looking at the young boy snuggled under a blanket, a fleeting smile formed at the corners of her lips. She sat on a chair beside his bed and arranged his blanket, covering him properly.Thinking of what Johnny said today, she couldn’t be more grateful to Leon. There was no harm in moving on with her life. And in these past few months, Leon has always been around to keep things in order in her life. He has basically taken care of everything concerning both her and Pablo, even to the extent that all those around her who have been good to her are also secretly getting help from him. For instance, Auntie Pam’s grandson, who just finished college and was in search of work, suddenly got an appointment letter from a company in her hometown.She was ready to finally move on. She would no longer dwell on the past. With this thought in mind, she kissed Pablo good night and walked out, closing the door gently behind her.Very soon, a call came in

  • Her Man   He… He smiled?!

    Sundown district… As the main gate opened, the car entered the drive way and drove towards the garage. As it passed by the fountain, the noticed two cars parked in the drive way. One was an unfamiliar car, but the other one even if burnt to ashes Leon would be able to identify it. The atmosphere immediately changed. His aura became so cold; you would think hades just descended from hell. Even the chauffeur could feel his bones tremble. He didn’t know why the old master was here, but it definitely wasn’t for something good. He parked the car in the garage and left as soon as he switched off the engine. He didn’t want to be at the cross fire of both masters. Though he wondered why the old master would go out of his way to come visit this grandson. It’s been close to eight years since he last met him. Of course it was the young master that refused to see him. After all, what happened back then was a very huge issue that cost the young master the life of a person he valued the most.

  • Her Man   He was jealous of the fact that Johnny was a part of Lucia’s past.

    Lucia on the other hand walked towards Leon while everyone’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. Who is this lady that can just walk towards Leon without being pushed aside by his cold aura? As Lucia got closer, she couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous. Especially after what happened between them the other night. They have actually not communicated since that night. She didn’t know how to face him. Leon stood up as Lucia approached. Everyone around them held their breathe when this happened. This young master was really pissed this time. He isn’t even giving his best friend face and is about to walk away. Even Lucia was baffled as to why he’s suddenly stood up. As everyone was thinking this, the man in question walked towards Lucia, and pulled her into his arms.The people in the room “……!!!?” What the h*ll just happened? What did they just witness?! Did Leon, who was as cold and emotionless as an ice mountain… did he just hug a woman in front of them? This was like a moun

  • Her Man   Was that the man Lucia was seeing?

    Jael broke the silence by exclaiming “Is my male god here as well?” she turned to Lucia who looked more surprised than she was, judging from how red her face was at the moment.The other two girls looked at each other. From the conversation of these two, they could tell that Lucia’s boyfriend was here in this club as well. And was even seated in the VIP room. It just shows how influential this person was. They couldn’t help but be more curious as to who he really is. Lucia pushed her hair behind her ear, indicating that she was nervous and expectant as well. She hoped to see Leon, at the same time she was nervous of him entering their private room, with her friends around. “I don’t know. He didn’t say anything about coming here.” She replied Jael. Maybe he came here for business as well.” “Well, you may be right… But he could be here because a certain someone is here.” Jael smirked as she said mischievously. Lucia glared at her, abashed. She also wanted to know why Leon was there

  • Her Man   Did they have to really behave like leeches? They are really shameless.

    These were their roommates and she thought to just invite them, since they didn’t have any more friends. Who would have thought that they were this brainless? Lucia ignored them. These girls were very superficial. They only cared about fancy cloths and big brands. She wasn’t very close with them, but just because they shared a room and the fact that they didn’t have anybody else to invite, she didn’t mind it when Jael wanted to invite them. Anyway, it’ll end after today. They walked into the pub. As they walked inside, Ronnie Ann gasped at the beautiful and luxurious decoration. It wasn’t too high profile, but you could see that a lot of effort had been put into making it this cool. No wonder a lot of bigshots come here for business purposes. It makes one feel comfortable. A bar hostess immediately led them to their private room as soon as Lucia gave her name. She took them to a private room on the second floor. After entering, Ronnie Ann and the other roommate started to order. Jael l

  • Her Man   “What kiss? It was an accident.”

    Lucia whose kiss has been stolen for the second time in the night, stared at the man’s back as he walked out of the apartment. What just happened? She didn’t agree to be his woman! She unconsciously touched her lip that has just been kissed and recalled the scene that took place a few minutes ago and her face started to burn from shyness again. His lips really were soft.As she was still in dream land, she didn’t know that Jael had come out of her room until she saw a light flash before her eyes. Jael took a picture of her dazed expression as she stood there with her hand on her lip. Lucia snapped out of her daze and realized that Jael had taken a picture of her just now.“What are you doing? Delete it right now.” She said as she tried to take the phone from her.“How was the kiss? Tell me all about it.”“What kiss? It was an accident.”“Accident? I saw everything just now. Including him perking you again and saying; “You are my woman from now on.” Jael tried to mimic Leon.“He didn’t

  • Her Man   “I’ll listen to sis.”

    Lucia noticed that at the mention of home, Pablo seems to have deflated.She squatted in front of him and said “You’re moving to my new apartment. It’s near my university. You’ll be living with me from now on. Auntie Pam will be taking care of you on days that I have a class. But you’ll have to move to a new school.”“Really?” Pablo was surprised as well as happy to hear that he didn’t have to go to that house again.“But my school is far from the university.”“You don’t have to worry about that. There is a school about 40km from the university. He can enroll there.”Pablo looked at Lucia for a second and said to Leon “I’ll listen to sis.”“Okay.”They all went down and completed the discharge procedure. Then drove to Lucia’s new apartment.A week later Pablo started a new school. Lucia and Jael had two more months to graduate and had a lot of papers to write before that. Everybody was busy with something, but they were all happy for a first time in the past few months.Leon stopped by

  • Her Man   Boss really likes Miss Lucia.

    Boss really likes Miss Lucia to be able to go through all this. He's never seen him this focused on a woman. He was quite the opposite. He always stayed away from them, showing how much he seem to care about anything concerning Miss Lucia.Leon sat on a bench in the corridor with the rest. He looked over at Lucia who seemed to be sitting quietly but had the word"worried" written all over her face.He knew he didn't have to console her, as she knows her limit.Just like that the group sat down for another 5hours until the red light above the OR went off. Lucia stood up as soon as she saw the nurses pushing Pablo out of the OR. Seeing his pale face, she couldn't stop a tear from rolling out of her eye. She knew that her brother must have suffered a lot from the time he came to this hospital until this surgery. But she was happy that at least the first and most difficult stage is over now.Ivan walked out after the nurses and looked at the people who have been sitting out here for over 8h
