The next morning, Aicko went to her cousin’s office to talk to Axel. She directly went inside the office and waited for her cousin since she arrived early. Axel’s secretary gave her a cup of coffee and a piece of cake, “thank you,” she happily said to the secretary, her eyes scanned her name and read the name tag, “Lucille.”
“You’re welcome, ma’am,” Lucille smiled gracefully at her.
“Are you new here?” Aicko asked before she leave the office and goes back to her designated desk.
“Yes, I am, ma’am. If you want anything else, I am just there and you can call me,” she offered.
“Alright!” Aicko happily watches her as she exited the office. She crosses her legs and holds the cup of hot coffee, she smells the aroma of it before drinking it.
She placed the cup back on the
Valerie had been convincing Schina to talk to her mom before they leave the country since their departure have been delayed due to some reasons.“Oh, Schina… please? Don’t wait for the day that you will have no chance to talk to them because you maybe have a lot of time right now but they already lose their time, do not be like me.” Valerie vowed her head to hide her sadness from her.Valerie noticed her stand and walking near the terrace, she was looking sadly at the view and breathed. “I was actually planning to talk to my mom but I am not yet ready to face her.”“When will you be ready to talk to her?” Valerie worriedly asked, she rose to her feet and stand beside her.“If you are not going to do it now, when did you plan? Do you think she still have time to wait for you??” She questioned her.Schina was quite shock
“Schina’s POV”“Ma…” I was calling her because I noticed that her eyes were closing. My hands were shaking while she was holding mine, “ma?” I called her once more but there’s no response, she didn’t even move her eyes to look at me.I shake her hand to wake her up as I started to panic, my eyes were glued on her face till my world suddenly stop and seems like collided when I felt my mom loosen her grip from my hand.I rose from my seat, “mom? Wake up… I’m not yet done talking with you, t-here’s a lot of things I…I want to say to you.” I let go of her hand and shake her body.“M-mooooom?” I checked is she’s still breathing… I was stunned upon learning that she wasn’t anymore. My tears race to fall and my heart feels like being crumpled and getting heavier.
“Schina’s POV”I can’t believe that Martin’s love for my mom isn’t that great, he chose to leave my mom and get back to his legal wife.I agree that it is the best thing to do but I don’t agree that he realized that he wants his legal wife back when everything seems to be late. He shouldn’t have seduce my mom and took her away from me if he was not sure about my mother.If only I could turns back the time, I am willing to separate them even though my mother will hate me but I have no power like that, I can’t bring back my mother’s life.I didn’t know that I have been staring out of nowhere but when I look at my mom’s coffin, I saw the Hodreal family near my mom’s coffin.“Why are they still here?” I asked antie Miranda, my aunt Eve’s cousin. She was holding a basket of vegetables and was about to go in the kitche
Aicko was smiling at her while playing the key on her hand.“What do you want from me?” her tone of voice was quite rude but it still sounded weak.“I am here to send my condolences to you at to be with you,” she honestly answered.“I don’t need anyone to be with me, I want to be alone,” Schina coldly muttered. Aicko saw her holding the frame tightly, she sat beside her and held her hand.“I am still your friend no matter what happened, don’t think that I will be in my cousin’s side because I am his relatives and… I came here to apologize for what I did last time. I shouldn’t have forced you to what I want,” Aicko was embarrassed when every time she remember that because her friend did not texted her after that day.“AC, I don’t think I can trust you for now. Just… Give me a break and let me rest,
“Aicko’s POV”I can’t believe that he can do this to me… I helped him a lot and now he banned me from his company in return for my kindness, what’s wrong with him?He can’t blame me if he executed it in the wrong way, he’s problematic! I marched back in my car and texted my boyfriend, I told him to go outside because I am waiting for him. I even told him that my cousin didn’t let me come into the company.I have been sitting inside for an hour but I haven’t received any reply coming from him. I better call him, maybe he didn’t read my message. I dialed his phone number and waited till he accept my calls, I checked the time on my wrist and it was already their break time but he isn’t answering my call. I tried calling his number many times.Why he isn’t answering my calls? Did my cousin order him to stop talking to me or avoid me? This i
“Aicko’s POV”I did not lose hope when he texted me that he will not come to meet me tonight, I remained seated even though the customers who came at the same time with me are leaving.He finally answered my calls after fifty calls that he rejected me, I didn’t wait for him to talk, “Kevin, I will be waiting for you here.”“Didn’t I already told you to stop waiting for me?! I can’t come to you,” I heard him nag at me.“No! I will not leave, I will stay here and wait for you till you come,” I insisted. My eyes started to filled with tears but I’m trying to control it.He didn’t say a word to me and ended the call, I tried to calm down and not let the tears slip out from my cheek.“Ma’am, would you like to order now?” the waiter asks me.I
Axel lazily stood when he was awakened by the continuous bell coming from the door of his condominium, he peeked from the door before opening it. After a careful study, he opened the door when he is sure that the woman knocking on his door was his cousin.He was quite shocked when he showed up to him at this late hour, “didn’t I tell you to meet me the other day?”“Y-yes… But I need to talk to you!” She insisted. Axel plans to shut the door and go back to his bed but when he noticed her current state, his heart becomes soft and allowed her in.“Come in,” he closed the door when she gets in. Aicko pouted her lips as her eyes travels around, she throws her purse on the sofa and went directly to the kitchen while her cousin followed her.“What are you looking for?” he asked.She keeps on tiptoeing while she w
“Valerie’s POV” It’s been a week since Schina’s mother died and she have been locking herself inside her room, I know that it is not enough time for her to move on but she have to move forward because the world will not wait for her to heal, it will not stop from spinning just because she was hurt. It continues on challenging her so everybody should be ready any time. I keep coming back in her house but her aunt always told me that she refuse to see me and give her some time but Mr. Cruz can’t wait to see her, I’m afraid Mr. Cruz will cancel the partnership if we delayed it for a few more days. I came back to her house again, Eve came to me, “Ms. Val, I don’t know what to do with my niece. She wasn’t going out of her room and I don’t even know what she is doing her there,” she worriedly told me as soon as she saw me. “Don’t worry, I will convince her to go out,” I assure her. I go upstairs an
