Marie was smiling evilly when she received the photograph sent from Stephen, "it is the end of your happiness, Schina. Now, you will lose Axel because of your wrong move. Let’s see how you will plead with him," she muttered and laughed.
"If you are hungry, Ms. Marie, you can take your break." Admin Paula told her when she saw her suddenly burst into a laugh.
"No, I don't think so. I'm just thrilled, and I'd want to celebrate later. Do you want to come with me tonight?" She inquired.
"Do you have a promotion?!!" She exclaimed cheerfully.
"Wrong guess, but don’t worry, I will still treat you tonight since you are a good friend," she stated.
Paula continued separating the documents that their boss asked her to do. She paused for a moment when she realized that Marie is acting strangely.
Marie looked at the pocket mirror and brushed her hair with her
"Why don’t you run after him?" John asked her. Schina nods at him and thanks to him.She rushed out of the café and did her best to chase him, "AXEL! Let me explain! AXEL, WAIIIIIT!" She shouted at the top of her lungs, but the vehicle he was riding in did not stop.She searched for her phone inside her shorts pocket but forgot to take it, "why can’t he talk to me? Did he mistake us for betraying him?"Schina asked John to go back to their home and ask for help from Aicko. While they are walking back to their home, John can’t stop himself from reminiscing."If I did not leave before and stayed by her side till now, maybe I have had a chance to be with her. Maybe I have a chance to change her career. Maybe she is successful now and maybe she has achieved her dream," he stated without knowing that he had said it out loud.Schina paused and loo
"Marie’s POV"I can't stop grinning after she was disappointed in him, and I can tell by the look on her face that she felt betrayed by everyone around her.Her eyes were starting to well with tears as her body was shaking, I know that she was trying to control her emotions but I know that she can’t.I am enjoying seeing her like this because I felt more than that when she snatched Axel away from me. She doesn’t deserve to be with him because she can’t accept who he is, and I know that she was mad at him.And since they can’t be together since she can’t accept him and they still have a problem that can’t be solved, it’s my chance to take him back!Schina did not respond to Veronica after confirming that Axel is the owner of this company; instead, she simply walked away without saying anything to him.She must be
"Schina! Let me explain!" Axel yelled in front of their house's gate, but she didn't come out to talk to him. He tried to contact her for the nth time, but she continued ignoring him."Schina! It was not my intention to keep it from you. Please, talk to me!" He shouted once more."Sir, I think we better go back tomorrow because the people are getting angry," Mr. Domingo informed me."No! I will not leave until she comes down and talks to me," he boldly responded."But these people seem serious and might harm you. What can I do? You know that I am too old to get into a fight," Mr. Domingo reminds him."You can get into the car while they are attacking me," he was looking inside the house while holding the gate."But sir—""I told you to get in the car," he frowned. Mr. Domingo dashed inside the vehicle. He
"What are you doing here?" Axel was looking at her and waiting for her reply."Wouldn’t you ask me when I arrive?" Hailey mentioned as she strode around his office, "did you forget that you promised to see me in New York last month? I waited for you but you didn’t come and never contacted me back again. Why is that?""Let me tell you this, I admit that I made an impulsive decision before, but now that I know the truth, I wouldn’t dare do such an action again. I apologize for making you assume something about me. I mistook you for someone who isn’t you," he explained.What are you saying, that you mistook me for someone else? Can’t you tell who I am? Can’t you recognize me?" Hailey asked him."What are you trying to say?" He confusedly asked her back."Can’t you recognize the girl who saved you three years ago? She took a ste
Aicko arrived at Schina's house early in the morning after learning from her aunt that her pal was ill. She walked straight to her room and discovered her pal resting on her bed, wrapped in a thick blanket."Schina, what happened to you? Why did you get sick?" She worriedly asked as she placed the glass of lukewarm water on the table.She scanned her friend and pitied her condition when she noticed her shaking in coldness. She pushed the curtains to the corner and opened the window to let the rays of the sun hit her body.Aicko was about to walk out and acquire medicine for her buddy when John appeared in front of her, clutching a medicine.Shegrabbeditfromhimandreturnedtohercompanion,whoassistedherinconsumingthedrugs."Whathappenedtomyfriend?"Aickoask
"Who are you to control my cousin’s freedom?" She bravely questioned her.Hailey’s lips curled up and scanned her from head to toes as if she was belittling her identity. "I am his savior! He wouldn’t be alive till now if I had not saved him.""Isn't it enough that he picked you as the winner of a contest a few months ago and sent you overseas to be trained?" Aicko frankly opened up.Hailey’s eyes turned wide, her jaw dropped as she glanced at Axel and looked at him as if she was asking if it was the truth, but he did not say anything, instead, he stood firmly."Doyouthinkyou'dstillseehimifIhadn'tdonethat?Heowesmealot""Alot?!Youmeanyouexpectedhimtogiveyoueverything?You'vegottobedreaming
"Aicko’s POV"After two days, I was still in Zamboanga because my parents were holding me back and wanted me to remain with them for a week.I checked my phone to notify my cousin that I would be returning on Monday, but I was astonished to see a report that Axel was dating Hailey and that they were having sexual relations in public!I quickly phoned Schina's phone number, my hands shaking as I waited for her to answer. "Pick up the phone, sweetie! Someone is attempting to kidnap your partner!" I mumbled as I went back and forth inside my room.She finally accepted the call after the nth time of rings, "Schina! What makes you so long to answer?!" I exclaimed."I was in the bathroom, taking a shower. What’s the matter with you?" I heard her chuckles from the other line."I better ask you that question! While you were having a shower, your boyfriend have been wit
"Schina’s POV""Can I stay here for tonight?" She asked. I can sense that there is something wrong with her by simply looking at her eyes."Sure! Come in," I told her, and helped her keep her bag inside my room."Why you didn’t rest in your home before going here?" I curiously inquired.She drop her body on the bed and sit on it while looking solemnly out of the window at the corner of my room, "I am worried about you so I hurried here and informed you about it. I don’t want you to get trouble because of my cousin and that bitch." She replied and sighed deeply.I sit next to her, placing my arm around her shoulder, "is there something bothering you, Aicko?""Nothing special, I am used to it," she sadly muttered."You aren’t used to it, your face can tell everything," I told her. She shifted her gaze to me and her e
