TRISHA

“Donica, can I ask you something?” Bes asked gently. As I looked at Donica, she turned pale. I wanted to laugh. Damn, it's obvious this b*tch has a secret crush on my brother. Maybe she thought Bestie was going to ask about my brother. She seemed scared too.

“S-sure, what is it Miss Aaliyah?” Donica stammered.

Wow, impressive! No wonder Bes said Donica is polite, what a respectful conversationalist!

“About Tracy,” Bes suddenly spoke seriously, and Donica furrowed her brow.

“What about my niece? Is there a problem? Wasn't she okay during the photoshoot earlier?” Donica asked, confused. Bes shook her head.

“No, no, that's not what I want to ask. Tracy was fine during the photoshoot, no problem with that. What I want to ask is about the bruises on her body, do you know about that?”

Bes was serious and staring intently at Donica. I also observed Donica, who seemed confused by her reaction.

“What bruise are you talking about, Miss Aaliyah?” she asked, bewild

    “How was the meeting?” I asked affectionately. “It was good, Mr. Montenegro and I had a pleasant conversation. They're starting the construction of the factory and barracks in Taguig,” he replied. I smiled at the good news. “Wow, that's fast,” I said. “Montenegros and Herreras are easy to deal with. I didn't have any difficulties,” he said. It seemed like Travis was close friends with Alexander Montenegro. His hard work has paid off. I am happy with Travis' achievements. He has become skilled at handling the business and interacting with clients and investors. “Guys, let's go. So we can practice and go home early. Line up, kids!” Trisha shouted, getting our attention. We walked towards them to help, just like we did on Saturday with the children. Travis will be watching the practice again. He's too supportive of his son. I told him to behave because others might think there's favoritism. He always watches the practice, especially on the last day becaus

    TRISHA'S POV I stopped and immediately faced her. She had a stern expression on her face. “What do you want to say, Miss Trisha?” I smiled at her before looking her head to toe. “You know, girl, you could have been beautiful... but you're too flirtatious.” I said bluntly, without beating around the bush. No need for segues, this was the point of our conversation and I'm not the type to sugarcoat things. She was surprised by what I said. “Excuse me?" She retorted with narrowed eyes. I smiled at her. “I know what you're doing, Ms. Donica Alcaraz. If my friend falls for your innocent act, I'm not falling for it.” I said firmly. “What are you saying? I don't understand, Miss Trisha.” She feigned innocence. She's really good at it. I sighed before smiling at her and speaking again. “Don't play innocent with me, Donica. With the number of women who have tried to flirt with my brother, I know exactly the likes of you. Do you think I don't notice the subtle loo

    Aaliyah The meeting ended with Travis in a bad mood. I let him go ahead to his office because I needed to talk to Trisha. During the meeting earlier, I kept glancing at Trish, but she wouldn't look at me directly. It's surprising that she's late to this kind of meeting only now. It's not like her to be late. She's usually the one who arrives ahead of Travis and me in the meeting room. Maybe she has a good reason for being late. Everyone else has left and it's just Trisha and me left. We're facing each other and I didn't bother to stand up. She sighed and leaned back on her chair tiredly. “I'm so sorry, Bes. I didn't intend to be late. I had something important to attend to earlier. Did something happen earlier that made my brother so angry at me? It seems like he's taking his anger out on me,” she said. I leaned back on my swivel chair and let out a breath. She really knows his brother. “Actually, Mr. Chua and Travis had an argument earlier while we were waiting

    Aaliyah I was sitting on my swivel chair with my eyes closed, feeling sleepy and having a headache because I didn't sleep well. I'm disturbed by the person I saw in front of our house last night. I can't get it out of my mind. It's really scary that someone was watching us. But it's strange because the subdivision has strict management and only well-known people live there. Prominent individuals. The person standing in front of the house was wearing a jacket and a hat, so I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman. And the question is, what is he/she doing at this time of night in front of our house, wearing that kind of outfit? Even though I didn't see his/her face, I'm sure he/she was looking at me, at our room with Travis. Because of what happened, I couldn't sleep well and now I have a headache when I have so many things to do. I went to work early today because I still have to prepare the clothes that the models will wear tomorrow. We're getting ready for four outfit chan

    Trish and I continued to fix the dresses. We're bringing them down to the first floor, where the models' dressing room will be. Good thing my headache cooperated and went away before noon. Now I'm observing the people setting up the Auditorium. They're arranging the tables, chairs, and lights. I was in that state when I felt hands creeping around my waist. I smiled because just from the scent alone, I already knew who it was - my husband. No one else would give me a back hug like that. “How are you feeling, Wife? I bumped into Trisha, she told me you had a headache earlier. Are you okay now?” He asked affectionately but with a hint of concern. I was surprised by what he said. Trish can be really talkative sometimes. She even told her brother. But that's just how she is. When it comes to serious matters, I can always count on my friend. “I'm okay now, Hubby. I already took some medicine,” I replied while still watching the people fixing the lights. “Are you sure? Why

    AaliyahEvent Day As early as noon, Trish and I were already at the company to check the auditorium if everything was in order and nothing was missed. Trish was assigned to check everything, including the catering. Travis trusted her to make sure everything was okay. Meanwhile, I was busy with the dresses that the models were going to wear. The makeup artists arrived early and set up their equipment. They arranged their makeup on the vanity mirrors in the dressing room. The models should start getting ready at exactly three o'clock.. We told them to come early and not be late. Everyone was busy with their assigned tasks. I was just finishing up my work, So that when it's my turn to get make up, everything would be settled and there would be no more problems. At 2 pm, other models started to arrive, including my daughter who was super excited.“Sweetie, you're early. Where are your friends? Aren't they with you?” I asked her sweetly as she moved away from my embrace.

    Before we could reach our husband, there were many visitors who blocked our way to greet us, exchange pleasantries, and take pictures. Trisha was even subtly pinching my arm, eager to approach her husband. But what could we do? We couldn't just leave the guests. That's why we went outside to help Travis talk to the guests. However, we weren't able to join them.When a waiter passed by, she even got wine, taking two and giving me one. Tsk, she forgot that I wasn't going to drink even if it's just a little. I'm going to walk on the stage later. But it's okay, I won't finish it. I might enjoy it later.If the husband hadn't called the woman we were talking to, she wouldn't have left. “Finally, I thought we wouldn't be able to leave. Come on! Walk faster so we can get to our husbands.” She pulled me, disregarding our appearance and posture. We were getting close when Travis noticed me. His serious face earlier slowly brightened when he saw me. A beautiful smile appeared on his

    It still feels different when someone admits to you that they idolize you. I didn't expect it to be like this. And it's evident from her that she idolizes me because she even knew about my past role as Alice Mendez. It seems like she noticed and read my thoughts. She chuckled modestly while holding one of my hands. “It may not be obvious, but I'm your fan, Miss Aaliyah. I'm glad to finally see you. I tried several times to meet you, but it never matched my schedule,” she explained with a smile that made her even more beautiful, if I'm not mistaken. Trishana mentioned to me that Vivien is one of her admired models. She'll surely be delighted when she finds out she's here. “She's telling the truth, Mrs. Dela Cerna. She really insisted on coming with me. We almost had a disagreement at first because I didn't want to bring her,” Mr. Montenegro said with a smile before turning to his wife. “If you didn't bring me today, I would have ignored you for a week, and you wouldn't be

    Travis “What's bothering me, Hubby, is who he is. Why was he looking at me? Or let's say, at the house? It's suspicious because people don't just enter this place without living here.” As I listened to my wife, I could hear the fear in her voice as she recounted the story. I turned my gaze back to the gate outside. She's right, you don't just enter this subdivision; security is tight. It is suspicious. Or maybe he has strong connections, so he got in easily. When money is involved, people change. They follow orders easily. I wondered if the person Aaliyah saw and the one who sent me the dead bird were the same. Tsk. It's not impossible... this has started, and he targeted my wife first. “Does Trish know this?”I asked before gently pulling her closer to put my arm around her shoulders. I noticed her rubbing her arm, a sign that she was uncomfortable. “Yes, I told her. I couldn't settle down that night; I couldn't sleep well because of the fear, Hubby. I wanted to tell yo

    Travis What the heck is this? Who sent me this kind of sh*t?! My forehead furrowed as I saw a piece of paper inside the box. Slowly, I came over and took it. Something was written, so I read it. 'Congratulations on the merger of Dela Cerna Corp and TDC clothing line, as well as the fashion show. You look very happy and contented, Dela Cerna, but bad news – gradually, your happy days will end soon. Good luck! Ps: I hope you like my little gift to you, Dela Cerna. See you soon...' D*mn it! Who is this? I clenched my fist with the paper. Then I threw it back in the box. Angrily, I went to my swivel chair and faced the intercom to call my secretary. “Santos, come here, now!” I slammed my hand on the intercom, then leaned back on my swivel chair, massaging my temples. The door opened. “Yes, sir? What do you need--Holy sh*t!” Santos paused, unable to believe what he saw – a dead bird on the floor. He looked at me with concern before fully entering. “Lock the door,”

    Aaliyah I was busy designing Mr. Tan's tuxedo when the door opened. I didn't bother to look up. “Mam Aaliyah?” It's Jam, my secretary; she was the one who entered. “Yes? Do you need something, Jam?” I answer without looking at her. My attention was still focused on what I'm doing. “This is the copy of the contract signed by the models that you requested,” she politely said. I nod and gesture for her to just place them on the side of my table. She quietly follows my instruction. “Thank you, Jam,” I express my gratitude after she's done. “Welcome, Mam. Do you need anything else? Would you like coffee or juice?” she asks again. “No, not for now. I'll ask for juice later when I finish what I'm working on. You can go out; I'll call you when I send for the juice. Thank you,” I reply, my gaze still on the sketch pad. “Okay, Mam. I'll leave now,” she nods and exits. Suddenly, I remember something I need to ask Jam. When I look up, she's near the door, so I quickly

    I was surprised when all the models greeted me with applause backstage. They were happily clapping. “You were amazing, Tita Aaliyah!” “We watched you on the screen here; you were absolutely fantastic.” “Congrats, Mom! You were still amazing!” “You're truly legendary, Mam Aaliyah!” “You looked so sexy walking earlier, Mam Aaliyah. Your presence was captivating.” “You're really different on stage, Mam Aaliyah. You carried yourself so well.” “Yes, especially when Mam Aaliyah winked at Sir Travis!” “Yeah, it was so romantic! You and Sir are a perfect match!” I suddenly felt embarrassed by the comments from the adult models. Gosh, they saw that. But it's heartwarming that they're all here to congratulate me. They really waited for me to finish. “Thank you, thank you! You really surprised me. You were all amazing earlier. Remember what I said, okay? Don't rush back to the backstage immediately after our final walk. I have an announcement, okay?” They
