Hey, Why do you look upset? " Aicko sat next to her friend. They were sitting on the bench on their campus while Schina was staring at the field.
She sighed deeply, making her friend think that she was in trouble. "What’s bothering you, again?" Aicko asked
"I don't want to talk about it," she said as she rested her head on her friend's shoulder.
Aicko senses that there is something she’s hiding from her when she suddenly remembers the gala in the Shangri-la last Sa
She boldly extended her hand to hold his collar and attempted to unbutton his polo even though the horse was galloping, but before she could do it, he stopped her from touching him. "What do you think you are doing?" His gaze was fixed on their destination. “I want to go down,” she stated. "You have to answer my question first," he added. She removes her gaze from him, "are you following me?" She heard him ask bluntly. "Why would I follow you?" She hesitantly replied, he was still not looking at her. “If not then what are you doing here?” He interrogates her. "It doesn't matter," she said as she yanked his grip off her hand. She forgot that if she made any movement it might lead her to fall out of the horse, for she was sitting uncomfortably. Axel was sorry to see Schina tumble to the ground when she r
"Schina’s POV" I don’t know what’s my reason for shutting my eyes when he moves his face closer to me but I can’t take it anymore my heart was beating fast that I couldn’t do anything. I was irritated and opened my eyes when I realized he was only getting closer to me to wipe an ice cream stain off my face. "You're like a kid," he grins. I rolled my eyes at him, "could you please move aside? You are too close to me Mister." He places his hand on the tree behind me, "why? Are you affected to me?" He boasts. "Axel!!!" He quickly move and turn behind him while I peek to see who it was, I saw the woman who helped me earlier but I am curious why he did not address him as ‘sir’ instead she called him in his name? She walks towards him and touches his right hand, "Mrs. Montero and I had been waiting for you. She looks disappointed when you didn’t show
"Marie’s POV" I am Marie Castillo, twenty-seven years old. I have been working with Axel as his secretary ever since he established the company. We were friends, classmates, and companions; He is always there every time I need him, he is a very sweet guy, reliable and responsible man, but he changed when he met a lady three years ago, I had no idea who she was or her real identity before. All this time, I thought that he had forgotten about her, but I was wrong… I found out that he’s been searching for her ever since the day he met her. I don’t know why he is wasting his time looking for her, but one thing is clear to me, and that is that he likes the girl. His eyes were shining every time he mentioned her to me, and he sounded very happy as if she’s the only girl he wanted in his life. I’m sure his feelings for her are not that simple, and I know that he is planning to
"It’s not yet the end of our talk if you keep on blocking my way again," Marie growled."But… but-- I have to be with him," she stutter even she jokes at her. Marie gave her tantalizing eyes and was ready to hurt her more, but her phone beeped, making her stop her plan to scare Schina."You're lucky I'm busy today, or else I don't know what I can do to you," she said as she unclasped her grips and turned to leave.
“What are you doing here?” She uttered.Marie gets irritated because of how she treated Axel and wanted to speak for him but he stops her from doing it, he smirks at Schina and asked, “Is that how you greet your visitor?”“I’m not expecting any visitor today,” she bluntly stated. Fabian feels embarrassed when he heard her statement, he stood and step near her for he was planning to leave.“Shina, I have to go,” Fabian informs her.“Why?” She disappointedly inquire, he didn’t reply but he just look at the man blocking his way.Axel diverts his attention to the man appears and standing next to her, “if you are not accepting visitors then what is he doing here?” He is referring to Fabian, she was speechless and looks dumbfounded while looking for a reason in her mind till she realize that she doesn&r
"I was sorry for what happened to you today," he said honestly.She irritably wipes the tears coming from her eyes and squeezes her blurred eyes, “why are you standing here and where is your secretary, and driver?” Her gaze scans the surroundings, but the vehicle is nowhere to be seen."They – have a business to attend to and will be back in a minute," he excused."But why did you come here to wait?" She dropped her head and took a few steps forward.“I’m worried about you,” she was moved by his sincerity that her heart skips a beat. He stand closer to him and tucked her hair behind her ears making her look at him.Schina’s face flushed while looking at him, she feels like the world suddenly stops, and everything around them is gradually wiped out and the only thing she saw is him as the pink leaves are falling from its stem. 
Her loud voice echoed in the building. She walked in his direction while glaring at him."You're in trouble, man," the other man says quietly to him, hiding behind his back before she can reach them."Sch—-ina…" He exhaled deeply "What—what exactly are you doing here? I pondered... You do not intend to go out, "He said cautiously."I want you to repeat what you just said to him," she said, motioning to the man behind him. Axel can’t look directly into her eyes while the manager behind hi
"A.D. group of companies has been exploiting illegal firearms and drugs in the country. Valdez group of companies head/s had been sued repeatedly for harassing and sexually assaulted its girls employees, J.Y.C Inc. staff had been physically and emotionally maltreated by the heads and directors…" She had gone through all of the documents she had gotten, learning about the oddities and secrets of each famous firm, and she paused when she discovered it was a confidential file, wondering why he had given it to her.Her eyes had been reading the paper for quite some time when one of the companies caught her sight. She recognized the name of the firm she'd been avoiding for a month: A's Creative Designs.It piqued her attention because it was the only firm with a decent reputation among the files provided to her, but she was opposed to the facts she had read. She is still furious over the unfair competition that occurred a mon
“Ahhhh! I can’t hold it anymore! Drive faster!” Schina shrieked to her husband, she was about to labor in just a few minutes. Axel is panicking and blowing the horn of his car to all the cars in front of them, he rolled down the window and shouted at the driver, “give us a way! My wife is about to labor!” he yelled at them. Some car give them way as he drives the car to the nearest hospital around, he quickly parks the car and help his wife to get out from the car. They put his wife on the stretcher as they pushed it inside the emergency room, Axel wants to get inside but the doctor did not allow him to get in. He is so anxious outside and walking back and forth, he is interrupting every nurses that will come out of the room and ask the same question, “how is my wife and my baby?” Yet, the only answer he receives is, ‘they will be alright, please wait patiently.’ He sat on the bench and prayed, AC and Schina’s aunt arrives and saw her c
Aicko arrived in her apartment, “what are you guys doing here?!” She exclaimed upon turning on the lights, seeing her cousin and his wife in her apartment.“Happy birthday!!” they shouted, she forgot that today is her birthday. She became more disappointed when she realized that even Kevin forgets that today is her birthday.She studied that two and saw her cousin is blowing a horn and wearing a birthday hat while her friend is holding a big cake for her even though her tummy is already in eight month.“What’s wrong with you? Why are you crying?” Schina asked her.“Don’t tell me you are crying out of joy?” Axel teased her.Schina passed the cake to her husband and hurry to her friend to lend her shoulder for her, “why are you crying, AC?” Schina is patting her back.“Ke—Kevin is cheating on me!” She burst into cry and drops her backpack on the ground, A
“Where are we going again?!” Aicko exclaimed at her fiancé because they have been going at the same spot again and again in the middle of the forest.The couple were invited by Louisa in a reality show that she is taking part in. It is like a race of couples and whoever wins will win a grand prize worth of half million, Aicko doesn’t like to join the said program but since her fiancé agreed on taking part of it, she have no other choice so she agreed than to see him pairing with Louisa.“She thought that she can take him as his partner in her little trick, no, dear. That will never happen even in your dream,” her mind says and celebrating in victory but she is a bit upset because they can’t see the way out of it.“C’mon, Kevin! We have been walking back and forth in the same spot for long hours,” she is about to cry. She is regretting why she joined this stupid game just for the sake of her fian
“Schina’s POV”My heart is throbbing fast, my body is thrilled with the excitement as I walks down the aisle. My eyes were filled with tears, blurring my vision. I did not expect that this will come into my life, I experience a lot of setbacks in my life as I was trying to figure out which company to apply during my internship. I was being rejected multiple times and I thought that he is my nemesis and the man I have to avoid in the lifetime because ever since he appeared, my life had turns upside down but even thought my plan was to avoid him, I turned my back to him when I saw the important thing that’s missing to me and that is the necklace that my mom made especially to me.My plan had changed a bit during that time, I always think of a way on how I can get my jewelry from him and did all the things till I get it but my plan did not work well because I found myself falling in love with him.I can say that love is like a rosary that fu
“Axel’s POV”I can’t describe how happy I am right now knowing that my fiancee is pregnant! I did not expect that this day will come to my life, and it never came into my mind that I will settle one day and love a very special girl like her. She is the most amazing and interesting girl I ever met in my entire life and my savior.I used to be alone walking in the dark without a light till she came and light up my whole world, I am glad that I found her again.I hurry out of the hospital when my cousin and his fiancé arrives, “where are you going?” AC asked me.“I am going out to buy fruits and food for her,” I explained clearly.“Why do you need to go out if we already brought what you need?” she showed me the basket of fruits she brought.“I need to buy more,” I told her.“Axel! What is wrong with you? Why are you panicking? It’s not like she is
“I thought you like that kind of confession that much,” Axel uttered.“Of course not! I like your proposal more than any other man’s proposal, darling,” she let him know.“But why are saying ‘how sweet’ to them?” He sounded jealous as he complains to her.“I just appreciate them,” she explained but Axel did not accept her simple explanation.“Why are you showing an appreciation to them? Didn’t you appreciate my proposal to you?” he keeps on arguing over a simple thing.Schina is quite annoyed on his reaction, “why are making it big? Are you jealous of them because I told you that I appreciate them?” She ask him directly, she is annoyed that he is acting strange.“I’m not jealous,” he simply respond.Schina knows that he is not telling the truth, “don’t be like this, darling. I don’t want you to repeat you
Schina woke up from a comfortable sleep, she slowly opens her eyes. She is nervous seeing herself in a room, she studied the whole detailed of the room while her mind is trying to recall who brought her here.She is terrified thinking that if her fiancé finds out that she stayed in another man’s room the whole night might ruined their relationship.She get up from bed and sighed in relief seeing that she is still wearing her clothes, “finally! I should get out from this room without letting the man finds out that I am leaving,” she mumbled till her eyes shifted to the picture frame on top of the drawer.“Am I seeing it right?” She surprisingly asks when she recognized the picture of her fiancé in the frame. “Is it his room? I can’t clearly remember that… Oh! He was there last night,” she says happily. Schina did not have a chance to come in his room even before, she turns her back and spotted t
Aicko opens her eyes carefully, she is nervous when she found herself lying on a soft bed and in an unfamiliar room. She is planning to get up quickly till she felt the thin white sheet that covers her naked body!She is terrified as the breathe she is releasing is getting heavier, she didn’t know what to feel but on top of it, she is feeling embarrassed to what happened to her. She bits her lower lip as she is trying to remember how did she ended up sleeping in this unfamiliar place and who brings him in.“Fuck! How did it happened?” she cursed, pulling her hair angrily out of madness.She wanted to cry but she compose herself and searched for her clothes on the ground, “where is my clothes?” she vexed when she did not find her clothes.She sighed and calming herself, “relax, Aicko! Think properly, you can do it. You can escape from this embarrassment if you can find away to get out of here.”Her eyes were
Axel is driving his car back to his condo when he received a notification on his phone that caught his attention, he drives back his car upon seeing the picture of his fiancee having fun in a bar with her friends.“What is she doing there?” he angrily muttered, he quickly phones Kevin while he is driving his car to inform him about this.“Did you know where is my fiancee now?” he sarcastically said, “she is in the bar with my cousin and it is all because of you,” Axel blamed him, “if something happens to her, you will pay,” he added.“Wh—where are they?
