“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
Aicko opened her eyes and found herself on the floor of her cousin’s condo, she shook her head when she remember that she went here last night and force him to drink with him. “Why did he let me sleep on the ground?” she curiously asked herself. She look at the stairs when she heard footsteps coming from Axel. “You’re awake! I thought that I will have to wake you up,” Axel told her. She rose to her feet and angrily looked at him, “why did you let me sleep on the cold ground?!” Axel was walking down the stairs and chuckled, “I’m sorry, AC. I didn’t know that you are a sleepyhead that will make you fall from the sofa,” he teased. “What? What are you saying?” she recklessly asked. She suddenly felt her body was soring before she could stop him from responding to her query, he already did. “It’s simple, you fell,” he casually replied.
“Schina’s POV” I have think it carefully, I agree on leaving the Philippines and start my new life to other country. I know that it was not easy to live thinking that my mother passed away but I will try to be happy like she wished for me. I didn’t show reaction to my aunt when she told me that she drives Axel away, I understand her. She just want to protect me and she doesn’t like seeing me getting hurt repeatedly. I admit that I hate him and his family especially his dad who used my mother. He let her think that love is like a fairytale then left her after he makes her believe that he loves her so much. I am guessing that Axel will be the same like his father, his family is up to no good. That’s why I never felt reluctant to leave it’s because of what they did to my mother. They hurt my mother and I till she become week and chose to kill herself because of the depression and anxiety that th
“Tomorrow will be my flight to States, can I stay here tonight? I don’t want to stay in my condo any longer,” Aicko inquire. “Tomorrow is our flight to States too! Can I see your ticket?” Aicko showed her ticket while her friend took it from her and compared it, “wow! We are seatmate,” Schina surprisingly uttered. Her friend looks as she saw the ticket and ask her, “so. C-can I stay here for tonight?” She asked. “Why not? You can stay here and leave together tomorrow,” Schina mentioned. The two had a great conversation, they had fun and talk about something but the thing they are avoiding to talk was about their exes. The next morning, everyone in the house were in hurry to bring out their luggage. The ladies were ready to leave the country and to leave their past behind. When Schina and Aicko were walking in the departure,
Axel finished all of the documents needed in his company and he met some of the clients in the afternoon. He orders his employees to pass the design as soon as possible. He was sitting in his office and checking all the papers that his secretary sent to him, everyone notice how he was trying to work in hurry. “What’s wrong with our boss? Was he in hurry?” A woman employee asked Lucille. “Sort of,” she casually replied. The woman was watching him from afar, “look, how busy he is. He doesn’t even plan to go out and have breakfast. Lucille, why don’t you give him a cup of coffee?” “I don’t dare to do that,” Lucille seems to be afraid to serve him today. “Are you protesting? Don’t you like to work with him anymore?” she guess. “Of course not! He forbid me to send a cup of coffee in his office.” Lucille whispered.
The plane landed in the United States, Axel, and Leo quickly get down from the airplane; the two waited for their luggage to get checked and after a while, they got the luggage. Leo took it and followed Axel out of the airport while Lauren was following them but she was stunned when she saw a sexy woman walking towards Axel and hugging him tightly.“W—who is she?” she muttered.“Maybe she is the reason why he was avoiding you, a girlfriend,” the man who sat next to her on the plane replied to her question.“It’s you again!” she complained.“Of course, it’s always me,” he smiled and left her.She was annoyed at that man but she was more irritable by that woman who hugs the man she loves, “maybe she is that real reason why Schina left him,” she guessed.“It means Axel is a cheat
“Schina’s POV”We already signed the contract here in States, Mr. Cruz was very happy to meet me. He accommodates us and gives us a place to stay, and also informs me that I will be the model endorsing their brand in exchange for endorsing me.Coach Val was happy about the negotiation happened, we had a beautiful place to stay, good food to eat, and money that can fill our wants and needs.I know that I should be contented and happy but I can’t stop thinking about my mother, I know that she was happy to see me achieving my dream but I can’t be happy like she’d always wanted me to be if I knew that the people who are the reason that she died are still enjoying their lives.I was trying to be strong in front of many people and trying to smile despite the pain I was feeling right now. I want to prove to everyone that I am happy and I can be better but once I’m alright, I hope
Fabian smiled at Aicko’s question, “I admit that I have feelings for her… until now,” he confessed.Aicko giggles after hearing his confession for her best friend while Schina was quite embarrassed.“Is it true?” Aicko asks as he nods at her, “but why didn’t you tell her earlier? Don’t you know that she likes you a lot when we were in college?” she opened it up to him.“I just heard it today when we are on our way here,” he admits.“Oh, wow! So, she confessed to you just now,” Aicko was looking playfully at her friend who was biting the end of the fork.“I guess?” Fabian replied while Aicko was chuckling.Schina pinches her friend to stop teasing her with Fabian for she feels a little awkward when they are talking about the past.“Can yo
Schina pulled the door and opened it and she was right that it was her coach. “You’re back, coach Val,” she stated. “Yes, I am. I met Mr. Cruz and told me that tomorrow will be the start of your practice in swimming,” she explained. “What? But the weather is getting colder these days, how can I swim faster like what he was expecting?” she complained at her coach. “We will see tomorrow, let’s rest for now,” she orders her. “Axel’s POV” “Have you seen her, dear?” Marie asks me as soon as I arrived at the entrance of the hotel. “No, I don’t have any news for now. I tried to look for her near her but I haven’t any leads yet.” “No worries, I am sure that you will have a chance to meet her again,” she positively told me. “I hope that too,” I replied. I am hoping that Schina could be ab
