"We're here, Miss Maine," Luna eagerly ushered her into the elevator.

"It's beautiful here. How long have you been with the company, Luna?" she asked.

"Just a year, ma'am. It's tough to get in, so I seized the opportunity when I was accepted. The compensation is good, and stay-in staff even get quarters."

"What's your salary here?" she asked.

"10 thousand, but there are deductions like Pag-IBIG, SSS, and PhilHealth. With the health card, it comes out as eight thousand, plus free lodging and food."

"Your boss seems stingy. Only eight thousand every half of the month?."

"Oh, sorry, It was weekly!"

She was surprised. It was substantial, especially considering everything was provided for free. It felt even better than working abroad.

"Wow, that's a decent amount."

"We also have a centralized tip used for team building, Christmas parties, and various events."

"This place seems good. How's Demi as a boss?"

"He's fine, but not as kind as Mr. Sandro."

"Mr. Sandro?"

"Yes, Mr. Sandro. He's a lo

    When the elevator doors opened on the ground floor, two men with tied hands, bruised faces, and torn clothes emerged, accompanied by a woman in white shorts."That's Sir Justin and Sir Nick. Weren't they supposed to have a meeting with Sir?" one staff member remarked."Help them!" shouted a tall, muscular man came with a name plate like Luna has "Boss, what happened to you?""That woman there, so arrogant, just kicked us out for no reason!" one of the men explained."She got angry just introducing herself! Hey, you're no beauty either!" retorted another."Especially you, if we use the right term, you look like a devil. Not handsome and with a terrible attitude. With a face like that, focus on improving your attitude," the woman added."Why is there a squatter in here? Get her out!" the male manager ordered."Miss, please leave," one staff member said, "we might get scolded by Sir.""Who's Sir?""Sir Demi.""I'm not leaving! Call your boss if you want! Those two disrespected me, play t

    "My favorite niece, are you okay?" her uncle Sandro hugged her."I-I'm okay, uncle. W-what happened?" she asked, puzzled."Nothing, everything's fine. Why?" he replied with a smile."Where's De-Demi?""He's busy. Let's go inside," he said, guiding her into the room. "How are you, Luna?""I'm okay, sir," she replied while adjusting the bathrobe she brought earlier."Someone barged in earlier—they shot at us," she reported to her uncle."Oh, it was just a toy gun. They left already," Sandro replied with a grin."But I saw—""Saw what?"She glanced at Luna, who was busy with something. Nothing seemed unusual in that room. She wasn't hallucinating."But uncle—""It's nothing. Maybe you're hungry. Come on, Demi prepared food in his room. Let's go eat there. He's waiting. Luna, let's go.""Alright, sir," Luna replied, leaving first. As they exited, Luna locked the unit again.Glancing back at the room they came from, she thought, 'weird.'They entered a larger unit, more like a house than j

    "Hey!! Maine!!" her grandmother's voice echoed, "my grandchild, what's happening to you?"She opened her eyes, finding herself in her room, lying on the bed. Her grandmother's worried face greeted her. As if she's there for quiet sometime."Grandma!" she hugged her tight."Why? I came in here, and you were having nightmares. I got worried, good thing I came to check on you. Demi and your uncle are outside. He brought food. He said you came from his farm earlier. What time did you go to sleep?""I'm not sure, but I fell asleep right away upon arriving. You were already asleep, so I didn't inform you that I was back."'Thank goodness it was just a dream. I thought it was real. I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. If Lola didn't wake me up, would I have died?'She stretched her body and then hugged her grandmother."Oh my God, hahaha why?" her grandmother hugged her back."Nothing, Lola, I just felt like I missed you."She assisted her grandmother out of the room, where Demi a

    She woke up excited that morning, stretching her arms eagerly. Who wouldn't be thrilled when someone else is treating? She already had a list of things to buy, having saved a lot during her time in Manila, partly supporting her ex, Dylan.In contrast to the past, she's getting ready, applying a bit of powder and lipstick. She wore a cropped top with a matching blazer and shorts, all in white with a ribbon on top. Carrying only a small bag, she finished her look by tying up her hair before leaving. This style suits her well, giving her a more Chinese appearance. What's her plan for the day?When she stepped out of her room, her grandmother was already there, holding a basin of water and a towel."Good morning, Lola!" she greeted. "What's that for?""Your uncle Sandro has had a fever since earlier. I already gave him a cold bath," her grandmother replied."Oh no, does this mean we can't go?" she asked."Go ahead, and don't worry about your uncle. The mall is still far from here. Let him

    As the woman approached them, she could see how stunningly beautiful she was. Her perfect figure seemed to draw their attention. She wore heels and a red dress that hugged her body, reaching knee length.Her nose appeared natural, and even her dimples. Pouty lips and long lashes framed her captivating eyes. Her hair, curly like Mama Mary's, added to her overall beauty. She couldn't help but admire the woman's allure."Hi there, Demi, how are you?" she greeted with a kiss, "this must be your daughter? Oh just kidding, your niece perhaps?""I'm Maine," she replied."Maine?" the woman raised an eyebrow, "oh, the little girl in his frame, with Sandy, right?""We-- when did you arrive, Matilda?" Demi asked, stumbling on his words."Oh, you're stuttering again. It's just me, Demi. I arrived last week," she answered."Who are you with?" Demi inquired."My fiancé, Art.""Art? I thought Mike was your fiancé?" Demi exclaimed in surprise."Oh, that scoundrel is already married.""Baby!" a foreign

    "I'm getting hungry," Demi said to her."I am too," she replied, "where should we eat?""Ah, over there," he pointed to a restaurant that looked expensive."Let's not go there. It might be too pricey.""We might not get another chance to do this again," Demi smiled. "Let's also catch a movie.""Alright then..." they entered, and they were greeted by a waiter. "Do you have a reservation, sirs?" the waiter asked as they approached."Not yet," Demi replied."That's okay, we still have available seats. Please follow me," the waiter said with a smile."Table for how many sir?"Table for two, please," Demi replied to the waiter."OMG!! Are you guys serious about eating here?" They saw Matilda there."Yes, why? Do we need your approval?" she asked her."Dear.. you might hurt your stomach because the food here is for the wealthy," she grinned at him."That's exactly why I'm here, because we're wealthy. I don't need to rely on a man, because my family can provide luxury for me.. how about you

    "What movie are we going to watch?" Demi asked, carrying her purchases. She wasn't supposed to buy shoes and clothes, but he insisted."Hmm, what's good?" she replied."You.""What?""Uh... I mean... you, whatever you want," he said with a smile."I thought you found me attractive, hahaha," she joked."You haven't met my standards yet," he countered."Wow, your standards are high," she pushed him playfully, laughing.Her smile faded when she saw Matilda again in front of the cinema. Demi looked at her with a smile, then glanced in the direction she was looking. His smile vanished."Well, well, well!" Matilda clapped. "And here comes the dynamic duo.""Oh, there's an old person here," she said."Old? Yes, I may be older than you, but I'm definitely more beautiful," she retorted."Really? Yes, you're right, you're beautiful," she said, looking her up and down."I didn't expect Demi to be into younger women. Why? Can't you find someone your own age?" she continued."Matilda, stop it!"

    "What do you think we should buy as a gift for grandma?" she asked Demi, just as they got into the man's car."Maybe just fruits, how about for Sandro?" Demi asked in return."I already know what to get for uncle, I'll take care of that," she replied to the man."Let's go, it's getting too dark, we might not find any open stalls at the market tomorrow," she urged him.Demi quickly drove the car away from that place. Along the way, he recounted the history of the places they passed, which she hadn't experienced when they were built, such as parks and buildings. There were still many vacant lots, but there were also many establishments standing there now.They saw a fruit vendor, and as they got off, Matilda and Art arrived, seemingly following them."Are you following us?" Matilda asked them."How could we be following you when we arrived here first?" she replied. "Ma'am, how much are the bananas?""I'll buy all the bananas!" Matilda said. She handed the old woman a thousand."How much

    My uncle was lying on the floor, laughing and laughing, while the people around me were smirking as I think they knew everything about this scene. My brows furrowed, as I looked at my husband, and demanded an explanation. "I'm sorry honey. I want you to come over, but I don't know how to ask you. Because I know, you will get mad at me," he went closer to me. I raised my hand and slapped him twice. The people around us, were all shocked! They didn't say any words, even my uncle Sandro. I felt betrayed! I'm so foolish to believe them! Olga, Marisa, everyone, they make fun of me! "I'm sorry senyorita," Olga, kneeled in front of me, "we just want you to be happy. We want you and senyorito to stay together, because we know, that you love each other." "Forgive us, senyorita," Marisa also kneeled. "It's our fault. Please, forgive us.." My head was already hurting because of them. Gradually, I felt like a candle burning out. Before I could fall to the floor, Uncle Sandro and Demi caught

    "Senyorita, I have news," Olga, suddenly approached me, "Marisa told me that sir's woman are here. They're in the room together.""Really? Now? As in right now?" I confirmed with her."Yes, Senyorita. We need to go there before they leave. And you can catch them in the act," Olga urged."Alright, just a moment. I'll get dressed," I stormed into my room, took a quick shower, and dressed in something elegant and sexy. When i stepped out, Olga was surprised to see me."Senyorita, what are you wearing? Why like that? You never wear revealing clothes." she asked, puzzled"I need to dress like this so your Sir knows what he'll lose if he continues his affair with that woman. Are you sure they're there?""Yes, Senyorita. Marisa said they're definitely there. They just arrived," she confirmed."Good. Where's there... should we splash acid on them?" I asked."Oh no, Senyorita. That's too much. Just hurt them. We'll hold them," she stopped me."Alright. That might be better. The nerve of that m

    "Lola, it seems like Maine is really angry," I said to her, worried. "It looks like she'll never forgive me for what I did." "Oh, don't worry about my grandchild. I know she still looks for you. I can see it in her actions. Just don't worry too much," Lola reassured me. "But, Lola, she might be so angry that she won't come back home," I said tensely. "She'll come back. Just continue with your plan with Sandro. When does he plan to bring her there?" She took a sip of her coffee. "Sandro, Olga, and I are still discussing our plan," I replied. "Well, hurry it up. She might suddenly burst in here when you're not prepared. Are your accomplices ready?" She glanced at the door where Maine had entered. "Everything's ready, Lola. We’ve arranged everything. We might be able to execute the plan next week." I felt more confident knowing Lola was on my side. "Make sure of it. I'm running out of things to say to my grandchild whenever she asks if I'm taking your side," she said, her face sho

    I was speechless when I saw my wife, Demi, at the dining table. I couldn't confront my grandmother about why she invited Demi to our home, fearing she might get angry with me instead. I ate in silence, and Demi did the same, while Grandma watched us closely. After a while, Grandma cleared her throat. "Ahem," she said, breaking the silence. "Are you two just going to sit there quietly?" I looked at Demi, who seemed just as uncomfortable as I was. Grandma's eyes shifted between us, filled with concern. "You need to talk things out," she continued. "You can't keep ignoring whatever's going on between you." Demi and I exchanged glances, both at a loss for words. I knew she was right. "Lola, what is Demi doing here?" I asked. "I invited him. Why? Is that a problem?" she responded. "But Lola, you know we're going through something," I replied, frowning. "What are you talking about? Why don't you two just talk?" she said, her brows furrowed. "Lola, I don't think I should be here.

    "What did your senyorita say, Olga? Is she still curious about my girl?" I asked Olga when we met outside her school. "She's still waiting for news, Senyorito. And she saw the flowers you planted behind the house. She was so happy," she replied. "Really? How did she know I planted them?" I asked excitedly. "Well, there wasn't anyone else who could have planted them because she said her grandma doesn't know how to plant flowers—they always die. So, she figured out it was you when I brought the flowers to her from you," Olga explained. "Oh, what did she say? Did she like the flowers?" I asked happily. "Yes, Senyorito. She loved the flowers you planted. She couldn't believe it was you who planted them," she replied. "Why not?" I frowned at what she said. "Because she didn't know you could plant flowers. So, I told her that the flowers around your mansion were planted by you," she said, glancing at her watch. "Thank you so much, Olga. Was she really happy with the flowers,

    I continued pondering why Demi would plant the flowers he sent me at the back of the house. Shortly after, Olga approached me. "Senyorita, what are you doing at the back of the house?" she asked. "Don't you know, Olga, that someone is planting the flowers my husband sends me here at the back?" I asked her. "No, senyorita, because as you instructed, I always return them to senyorito," she replied. "Ah, I see. Because I saw them earlier and asked Lola, but she said it wasn't her who planted them. So it must have been Demi. Turns out he's quite skilled at planting flowers, isn't he?" I said to Olga. "Yes, senyorita. Over at senyorito's mansion, he plants flowers there. He's responsible for all the flowers planted on the grounds," she replied with a smile, gently touching the flowers. "Really? He never mentioned these things to me," I said, looking at the blooming flowers. "Perhaps you didn't have the chance to talk privately," she suggested, glancing at me. "We do talk abo

    I laughed when Olga told me and admitted that she really has a crush on Uncle Sandro. She said she only pretends to be angry, but deep inside, she gets thrilled and happy. I just scratched my head at what she said. "What does that girl see in my uncle? He doesn’t have any good qualities aside from being handsome. That's all he can boast about. And yes, he has money, but that's it," I thought, falling into deep contemplation. I was really thinking that perhaps Olga and I were going through similar experiences. I realized that I couldn't quite pinpoint what I liked about my ex-husband Demi either. He wasn’t really kind. He was, at first, but towards the end, he stopped listening, which is why we separated. He and my uncle really have similar personalities. No wonder they get along so well as friends. I decided to step out onto the terrace of my room to get some fresh air. As I looked around, I found joy in watching the trees swaying with the breeze. My eyes wandered to the back of

    Olga arrived at the house frowning. I thought something had happened to her. "Oh, why do you look like you had a fight outside?" I asked her. "Nothing, senyorita," she replied to me, "your kind uncle is here." "What did he do to you this time?" I asked, my forehead furrowed. "Hey, Olga, where are you going?" I heard Uncle Sandro call out to Olga. I saw how Olga's eyebrows shot up. "Oh, there’s your annoying uncle again," she said to me, hurriedly making her way to the kitchen. "Olga, I'm talking to you!" Uncle Sandro called out. "What do you need from Olga, Uncle Sandro?" I asked him. "Why is she so annoyed with you? What did you do this time?" I stopped him as he attempted to follow Olga. "Nothing! I didn't do anything to her. I was just asking her something," he replied. "So, what were you asking her?" I asked, crossing my arms in front of him. I knew it was probably some nonsense that was irritating Olga. "Nothing, I was just asking if she has a crush on me." He

    "She was really furious?" I asked happily after Olga told me about my wife's reaction. "Yes, sir. She was so angry she wanted to get violent. She even asked Marisa and me to find out when that woman you supposedly have would be coming over," Olga replied, glancing around. "Oh, and what did you tell her?" I asked, rubbing my chin thoughtfully with my thumb and forefinger. "I told Senyorita that I would talk to Marisa to find out the schedule of the woman so we could come over," Olga replied with a smile. We had met in front of her school to talk, knowing my wife never went there. "Is that so? That's great news. You really deserve a bonus for this," I said, smiling at her. "No need for that, sir. I'm doing this to help you because you've helped me a lot," she replied, blushing and smiling with her hands in her pockets. "It's nothing. I know you're a good person and you deserve the reward.
