KIAAfter our dinner last night, we also drank some wine, and I ended up getting extremely wasted. I had no idea what happened after that; the only thing I can recall is Miaree and I dancing wildly. My head is aching from just waking up. I can feel my throat getting dry, and all I want right now to get over this hangover is to sip on some hot soup or coffee. My body feels really worn out, and all I want to do is lay in bed all day. Wait —Do I have class today? I searched for my phone using my hand and as I grabbed it I immediately look at the calendar. Sh*t! I have one class this morning! I already need to take a shower. I got up right away and went to the bathroom. I wake up feeling incredibly disgusted since I still wear the same dress I was wearing the night before. Ares was obviously drunk the previous evening, which is why he was unable to change my clothes. As soon as I turned on the shower, warm water began to stream across my body. Although I would like to take a really lon
KIAI was sitting in class doing my work when my teacher called me up to his desk and told me to grab my things I'm going up to the dean’s office. I was so nervous and scared and didn't know why I was being called to the dean’s office but then I suddenly remembered the offer they were offering to me earlier. Maybe she already wants an answer? When I arrived at the office it was a lady sitting at the desk calling other students' names to go meet and see the dean. I walked up to the desk and gave her my pass. She took the pass and told me, “Alright, you may have a seat and get comfortable because you will be waiting a long time until your name gets called.” After she said that I got even more scared.Calm down, self! Maybe they just want to congratulate me because of my performance in our recent midterm exam…As I was sitting here waiting for my name to be called I started to think about everything I had done that week so when it was my turn to go there inside the dean’s office it woul
KIADETENTION!!! I must have caught your attention. Most likely as a result of negative experiences, you've had with that awful word, am I correct? And right now, it seems like I will have my own experience also. As I was walking towards the corridor, I heard a laughing sound coming from behind me, it was them.“Hey, Kianna!” Vera shouted. I didn’t mind her and just kept walking. I grabbed my earphone from my pocket and plugged them into my phone. While I was listening to music and walking straight, I suddenly felt something on my shoulder, it is Vera’s hand. “Hey! Are you deaf?! I have been calling you!” I looked at her with a serious face. “What do you want?”“Nothing I just want to congratulate you for getting a high grade on our midterm exam—” She said sarcastically and burst out laughing. “By the way, did you enjoy that short achievement of yours? I heard that you and your friends celebrated that. I wonder what will happen when they know what you did… I guess they will be so di
KIAOne negative encounter is all it takes to alter your perspective. Consider what it would be like if you had to endure this awful situation repeatedly for months or even years. Significant changes occur in your entire personality as well as in how you see the world and yourself. The experience of bullying is like this. Bullying affects a lot of people in this nation, especially kids and teenagers. One of their victims right now is me. “That’s where you are wrong. Remember what the guard said earlier? There is CCTV in this room and we are being watched. They also wanted us to talk about the issue and fix it which means they can also hear us since they are forcing us to talk about it. See that small red light blinking there?” I said while pointing into one of the books on the shelf. “That must be the CCTV and since we are closer to it they must have heard what we just talk about, Vera.” I notice it earlier while I was choosing a book. I wish I was right, this is the only thing that
KIA"It's locked!" I tried to open the door but nothing happened. After several tries, I heard a clicking sound from inside. Did I break the door handle? I was about to open the door when it suddenly opened by itself. But then I was wrong… It didn't open by itself. There are people inside the surveillance office…"You're here! We have been waiting for you for a while but you seem to be busy trying to talk to the guard, so… We are very sorry, Kianna. We can’t wait any longer…” She smiled while her servants were trying to hide their laughter. What does he mean by they can’t wait any longer? Is she pertaining to the footage? “Wait! What is going on?” Miaree interrupted the weird atmosphere between us.“Nothing is going on, Ishii—”“I am not talking to you, Eunice!” Miaree rolled her eyes before looking at me. “Kia, is there something wrong?” she asked. I don’t know what to feel right now. Vera looks so satisfied, so much different from what she acted earlier. Does that really mean t
KiaThe problem started to affect a significant number of people across campus. The narrative has been told in a great variety of ways, and we do not have any kind of control over any of those versions. Marcy deleted every single online post that was related to my problem; however, nothing else moved forward. The topic is still being discussed on the internet, and links to various discussions about it can be found in various places.The streets are empty in the afternoon, and the silence draws attention to the fact that I am by myself in this part of the world. This makes my walk home in the afternoon feel a little bit unsettling. I have not called Ares yet because I don't want him to become concerned about me in the meantime. Before I can tell him anything, I have to clean up this messes first. I don't want him to accuse me of being dishonest because it would hurt my feelings. He congratulated me on my achievement by giving me presents, but God only knows how hard I worked for days j
“Bye girls! See you the next day! Don't forget to read the script we gave so the dean will eventually expel that b*tch!” The young woman yawned as she strolled through the park's concrete pathway. It was dark. Her favorite music was blasting in her ears and she was thinking about turning around to walk back to her car and go home when she almost ran into someone who was standing in front of her.She took her earbuds out. “What the fuck?! Mind where you walking sh*thole!”The tall man kept silently observing her while wearing a hood that covered most of his head. She moved her feet awkwardly beneath his gaze as she began to feel a little uncomfortable.“W-what are you looking at?!”He continued to stare without saying anything. She momentarily questioned whether she was speaking to a tree rather than a real person because he wasn't even moving. He wasn't a robot; he was a human. He had a crooked nose and sculpted jawline, and a piece of his eyes could be made out through the shadows.
KIAI woke up from my deep slumber when the alarm clock went off. Within my bed, a warm, comfortable haven, I began to move and stretch. When the alarm went off, I rolled over and hurled my arm at it, knocking it off the side table and onto the floor, where it cracked; the number 6 slowly started to fade.Sadly, it seems that I have woken up too early yet again. I'd like to fall back to sleep, but it's too late; every time I try to do so, something distracts me.I get up from my bed with a heavy heart and move to the other side of my room, where my phone is charging. I do this so that I have to force myself to get up when the alarm goes off, but it is now useless to do this. It makes a really gratifying click as I turn off the ringer. I leave my room as I stretch my arms in the air.The outside is totally dark. I turn to gaze out the windows, but I can hardly see anything there. Even the streetlights are not turned on. I wash my hands in the restroom. Today, the water feels quite soot
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
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
