KIA"Alright, let's get this celebration started, shall we? Let's move on to the next round to continue playing the Bottle of Truth game. Whoever is indicated by the bottle is obligated to tell the truth; if they don't, they are compelled to have a beer because they lied! In other words, it's time to get this show on the road!” Jill screamed, and she started spinning the bottle as soon as she did.While I watched the bottle spin around, I didn't feel nearly as frightened as I had anticipated, but Ares did not appear to be in excellent shape. It would indicate that he is not ready to play the kind of game that he is now being engaged in.“Please pardon me, but I must ask you to wait here while I use the restroom. I'll be there in a moment to catch up with you.” Ares said, and at that moment, he was on the verge of getting up to go when Jill grabbed his arm and yanked him back to his seat."Bro, the arrow that was drawn in the bottle was pointing in your general direction. You are not f
Following the events that transpired earlier, the game was abruptly over. We did not learn whether or not the rumor that Kyle likes Jill is actually accurate; but, if I were to be questioned about it, I would say that I believe there is something going on between those two people. In addition to that, they have an attractive appearance when they are together.Ares and I entered the space that was exclusively ours in the tent. The temperature dropped slightly at night, making it feel more autumnal. Ares and I quickly grabbed a thick blanket to wrap ourselves in. A split second later, mum began preparing a hearty lunch for the family by cooking it over the fire. I had the epiphany that a hearty supper and some stimulating talk would quickly bring us back to a comfortable temperature. Therefore, I suggested to Ares that he should share the dinner with the other people. After tearing down the tent, we followed them outside.While we were all sitting down to eat together, Ares's grandfathe
Everyone was busying themselves with packing their belongings in preparation for their departure from the property. Ares had been waiting for Kianna for almost to a quarter of an hour at this point, at which time she was still in the restroom."Hon, are you okay? Are you in need of some assistance?" Ares questioned with a troubled expression.She responded with "No..." to her question. "However, are you aware of what? If I may say so myself... Right now, I do not have a good feeling about myself. It seems as though my head is getting heavier, and the temperature in my body has dropped significantly. In addition to that, I can feel my heart racing..." explains Kia.After using the restroom, Kianna returns, and the first thing that Ares notices about her is how pale her face looks."Are you okay?" Ares inquired about this with concern. He snagged a chair and helped her settle into it before continuing his conversation."I'm sorry, I can't tell you... I — I feel… I feel like… I had the s
It was difficult to breathe with the piercing stench of bleach. When I opened them again, I was startled by the brilliant light that was penetrating my closed eyelids. I scrunched up my eyes in response. I had the feeling that I had no control and that I was burdened. I lost all of my mobility, including the use of my hands, my head, and my body. I opened my eyes very slowly, blinking over and over again in an attempt to fully open them and see what was going on around me. Where am I at this moment? After what seemed like an eternity, the dazzling light finally began to recede, allowing me to take in my surroundings. I was presently located at the medical facility. I was just beginning to wake up when I had the sensation that my right arm was being inflated like a balloon. I was so worried that it was going to explode at any second, but when the nurse started monitoring my blood pressure, I understood that the pressure I was experiencing was just her doing.After the nurse had left th
After a few days, I'm all alone at home. It's been days since I got out of the hospital after being there. Ares' parents tried to make me live with them, but I didn't want to because I was too embarrassed to be around them all the time. They gave up on their plan to make me stay with them in the end. On the other hand, they come to our house often to see me because they enjoy my company so much. In fact, they just left a little bit earlier.FLASHBACKWhen someone suddenly knocked on the door, it jolted me out of the light sleep I was in. I looked at the clock and saw that it was still six in the morning. When I looked over and saw that Ares wasn't lying next to me anymore, I thought he had already left. When I left the room, though, I saw him walking to the door and opening it."Who could be in there? — Mom?! Dad?!" Ares was surprised when his parents showed up at our front door out of the blue.I ran as fast as I could to the room, opened the closet, and grabbed a jacket, which I the
Kianna was under the impression that the surprise had already been revealed until her husband and best friends surprised her with a second party that they had planned.“Surprise!”Everyone yelled at the same time as the confetti went off and started flying everywhere. Kianna noticed a long table that was laden with delectable food, and in the center of the table was a large cake that had ten layers. The view is also quite lovely since in front of it you can see the very clean water of the sea, and the light from the round moon is reflected here."May you have a wonderful birthday this year! Wishing you a happy birthday on your special day!During that time, Kianna experienced a range of emotions simultaneously. Due to the fact that she was so taken aback, she was completely oblivious to the fact that Ares was standing next to him and holding a bunch of pink tulips. "This one is for you, honorable. A very happy birthday to you!" Ares greeted Kianna with a cheerful expression on his fac
The unexpected interruption of a knock on the door brought our conversation to an abrupt halt. It turned out to be one of our professors, and she requested that all of us accompany her to the dean's office because the dean was already waiting for us. We went with her to the meeting room after following in her footsteps. While we were walking there were a lot of students standing around waiting for us to arrive at the destination. The dean was already seated in the front row of seats when we entered the conference room. After entering, we looked around for a seat, and eventually spotted one. Following what seemed like an interminable period of waiting, the volunteers finally started to make their way into the room. They gave off an air of luxurious wealth and sophistication.We rose to our feet and greeted them warmly. "We are pleased to have you join us here at the University of Cavite.""All right, let's get started," the speaker said.“Wait! My apologies, I've been running late." I
KIA "He is a strong and capable man, Kianna! more powerful than you may have imagined." The phrase that has been running through my head since after Vince said that to me; I just can't seem to get rid of it. It has been going over and over in my thoughts till this very moment. Even though I have a lot of other things to think about, I can't stop thinking about it despite the fact that I have a lot of other things to think about. I have probably been gazing out the window for the better part of an hour at this point. The mere presence of this concept is causing me to start overanalyzing everything once more. It is still up to me to get started managing the initiatives that the organization needs to complete.I gave myself a mental shake and shook my head as I attempted to stop thinking about it. I was twirling my hair and resting my head on the back of my chair when all of a sudden someone appeared in front of me, and it was Nathan. Almost immediately, I straightened my hair and posi
Everyone has been busy preparing for our upcoming wedding. I am here today at the boutique of one of the most famous designers in the country, Mr. Sergio. He was measuring me for the wedding gown I would wear at our wedding. After the measurement, I went with Miaree and Marcy to shop for a dress that we could wear for the celebration after the wedding."Look, Kia! Green seems to suit you better. Something that suits your complexion." Marcy said, while holding a simple green dress."You know what, I agree with what you said. Actually, I would really choose green and pink to be the themes for all of us. What if we made all the dresses green? And let's make the wedding nature theme. A simple nature wedding?” I was just thinking about it as if my eyes were shining with the idea.* ringing * ringing * ringing *I immediately took my phone out of my pocket. It turned out to be a call from my soon-to-be husband, again. I answered it immediately and informed the two that I would just talk to
Ares was about to follow Kianna when suddenly an employee was running towards him.“Sir, we have a situation. The CEO of our business partner has arrived and he was requesting for your presence, sir.” “Mr. Guevarra is here??” Ares asked.“Yes, sir….”“Tell him that my secretary will be the one who will meet him—”“But, sir… this is the fourth time that we are going to turn down his request. We might lose this partnership if you won’t be able to meet Mr. Guevarra…” Ares narrowed his eyes as he looked back in Kianna’s direction. She was walking away. He started to think about what he should do but in the end, he chose to go back to his company and meet Mr. Guevarra. While the meeting with Mr. Guevarra is ongoing, Ares couldn’t stop thinking about Kianna. “I have a vision that this partnership would be a success, Mr. Vueravista.” Mr. Guevarra said as he express his happiness for the upcoming partnership of their company. “Anyway, I heard that you were still not dating anyone. Would yo
“Kianna! Wait!” Madam Buenavista shouted, but Kia didn’t even dare to look back and just kept on walking away.Madam Buenavista couldn’t stop her. She started to feel worried about it and immediately called one of her maids. “Call my son and tell him to find Kianna right away. This is an urgent matter, so do it immediately.” Madam Buenavista ordered.“Yes, Madam…” The maid said and immediately left to make the order done.ARES"Let's get started. Today's meeting is being held so that we can talk about ways to increase sales in more rural market areas. To begin, let's review the report that was presented at the most recent meeting, which took place on November 24. Now it's your turn, Kyle; have at it! I said.Kyle got to his feet and made his way to the front. "I am in your debt, boss. Permit me to briefly summarize the most important points discussed at the most recent meeting. The first order of business was to give our stamp of approval to the revised sales reporting system that had
KIAThe chilly breeze was blowing across my skin, and I could feel it. I am currently standing in front of the enormous villa that I checked out the previous time I was here. In the event that I am unable to obtain a response from Ares, I will approach his parents in an effort to acquire the information that I require.After entering the grounds of the villa, I discovered that I had a significant distance to travel before I could really enter the structure. As I made my way toward the villa, a variety of conflicting feelings began to arise within me. It was difficult for me to determine whether my emotions were those of agitation, disappointment, or nervousness. As I arrived, I was all of a sudden overcome with uncertainty regarding whether or not I should forward with my plan. I couldn't see anyone at the front door, so I decided to walk in through the back entrance instead. However, when I got there, no one was present.Maybe I should go back the next time—"Kianna?"My attention wa
KIA"Kianna, your spouse is the one who has been making you look foolish for the better part of a year now. It's not me." Nathan reached out and attempted to shake my hand, but I pushed him away. I went back and watched the portion of the video where the MC introduced Ares as the new CEO of the Vueravista corporation. It took me a few viewings, but in the end, I was convinced that what I was seeing was in fact happening. Throughout this entire period, he had been functioning in the capacity of an assistant. Even more amazingly, he permitted me to reside in his modest home. I knew him to be a straightforward individual who led a straightforward life, and as time went on, I learned to admire and even admire that quality in him. However, once it is discovered that everything was a fabrication, everything will come crashing down around them. Does this imply that the individuals who he claimed to be his parents when we first met are not, in fact, his biological parents but rather merely p
KIA"Do you still remember who I am, Myst?" Nathan expressed his curiosity.I was taken aback, and I found that I was unable to think clearly as a consequence. Because so much time has passed since then, this is the first opportunity I've had to give careful consideration to the matter. He is absolutely correct. On that same evening, I was spending time with him before I ended u meeting with Ares."I—I really don't know what to say... But I do recall that we had a chance encounter that night. — But why didn't you inform me? Why did you keep it all these time and pretend like you didn't know who I was?" I inquired with a sense of curiosity.He let out a long sigh and then looked at me directly in the eyes. We saw another extended period of stillness between one another. I focused my eyes inward as I waited expectantly for him to provide me with some responses. I was unable to come up with any explanations for why he hid this information from me. Is it the reason why he assisted me the
He purchased an additional bottle of Carlo Rossi California Red and gave some of it to me to drink. I was extremely drunk at that moment, but because he had already handed me a glass of wine, there was nothing I could do except accept it. I couldn't deny it because it was already in my hands. As he began to recount his narrative, I raised my glass to my mouth and took a sip."Have you ever questioned whether or not you are someone who is deserving of love?" He inquired.It appears like this guy is brokenhearted like me. I felt so awful for him. I was almost ready to respond to his question when all of a sudden, he began talking again."Because I did. It all started with my parents, and now it involves a girl whom I've put my faith in for many years... You're probably aware of this, but it's terrible. Never had the opportunity to be raised by caring parents who would accept me for who I am and love me unconditionally...""Don't you have parents?" Curiosity got the better of me, and I a
KIAAs he resumed his remarks while walking toward the bookcase, he added, "I was right all along..." He then finished his statement after reaching the bookcase. "Because I had just recently run into you at the Shangri-La hotel the same night, the news that you had unexpectedly gotten married put a wrench into things. I had no idea that you were already married when I ran into you there. Do you have any recollection of our previous encounter? I was the one who was there with you, Kianna, when you were sobbing uncontrollably and consuming a whole bottle of wine at the same time."I am only able to stand there and watch with my eyes wide open, unable to close them, as though the entire world were crumbling and falling apart around me... I didn't even shake... Suddenly, I discovered that I was utterly paralyzed, and I had no notion what would happen as a result of what I had just heard... I had no idea what would happen.FLASHBACKI'm currently opening a bottle of Carlo Rossi California
