Angelo was fuming in anger as he entered his room. As he slumped in the bed, Angelo started to remember the fiery exchange of words he had with Josiah. His head started- to throb as he began to think of some counteractive measures against Aimie’s lover. Since a couple of; threatening words were spoken by Josiah- before they had parted ways was; bugging Angelo’s mind.
While he was busy thinking of some strategic plan, someone had knocked on the room’s door. Without getting out of the bed, Angelo just gave his command and permitted; whoever would enter the room. Angelo was jotting down notes without looking- at the identity of the person- who had entered his personal space.
The clacking of the heels was so evident in the surrounding, making Angelo halt- what he was doing. He swiftly organized his notes and placed them under his pillow- when he was sure that- his notes were; well hidden under the pillow, Angelo faced the person- who had arrived.
It was almost midnight when Mark's mother had finally released Angelo from the torture of trying some gowns. Angelo was grumbling in his mind as he headed towards his room, and when he was inside- he saw the image of Mark- to be sound asleep on the bed. Angelo couldn't help but sneer in his heart and begrudgingly went to the opposite side of the bed where Mark was sleeping. He then threw some punches- on the air since Angelo couldn't believe that- Mark was sleeping so soundly while he- himself was abused by his mother.But the more Angelo threw punches- in the air, the more his body started to; ache. He unwillingly stopped his action and pouted at the man- who was deeply asleep. Angelo began to stretch his tired muscles before he stood up and took a quick bath.Opening the faucet, Angelo decided to relax- in the bathtub, the moment his
But no matter how hard Angelo pleads, Mark's mother won't listen to him. With no way of letting out his anger, Angelo could only glare at the poor stylist. Angelo's eyes started to sting with all the glaring he did to the poor stylist. Even with the threat in front of him, the stylist acted as if he didn't see the glare of Aimie- causing Angelo to stop his failed attempt at looking like a formidable person.It took hours before the group of the stylist was done dressing up their madam- that it made Angelo feel like he was going to have a headache with all the ornamentals they had adorned- on Aimie's body.The much-awaited word of Angelo had finally come- when the stylist had told him- that they were already done beautifying him up. The words coming from the stylist were like music to Angelo's ears, making him hug the man tightly.
The conversation between Angelo and his idol was interrupted when Mrs. Castro went to their side and asked to borrow her daughter. Angelo nods his head- indicating that it is alright for him. Amanda apologized to Angelo and to her brother before she stood in her seat and greeted her mother.Angelo followed with his sight the direction- in which the mother and daughter went to. And when they had come to a halt towards the stage, Angelo immediately adjusted his position- making it so that he would be facing the center of the room.His eyes twinkled, seemingly excited as to- what Amanda would say. Because of his excitement, Angelo forgot the existence of Mark- beside him.“Having a phone in hand would be perfect- in this jubilant day,” Angelo murmured to himself and couldn’t help but sigh since he had forgotten to bring his phone with him.“Here.” Mark then handed his phone as if he could hear the soft whi
While Angelo was feeling- the soft breeze against his skin, the door leading to the veranda suddenly opened, making Angelo surprised. He immediately looked at the opened door and was totally surprised when he saw the person who had entered his personal space.“You, what are you doing here?” Angelo exclaimed in shock at the person who was slowly nearing him.“Because I’m invited?” the man shrugs and stops only a few meters away from Angelo. “But I’m quite surprised to see you standing side by side with the Castro family. Is this the reason why you’ve suddenly lost interest in me?”“Why is a person who looks like a dog been invited to this party. Did they perhaps mistake you as a guard dog- that’s why you’re here?” Angelo just can’t help taunting the jerk in front of him. He seemed unable to forget the wrongness Aimie had undergone- in the hands of Josiah.
The moment they had gotten inside the house, Angelo almost immediately backed away when the girl from before- who looks like an earth fairy suddenly pounced on Mark. He winced and glared angrily at the girl who had unexpectedly appeared from nowhere.Angelo felt boiling hatred all over his body when he saw the picturesque scene of Mark being together with the earth fairy. If looks could only kill, Angelo would have killed the woman a long time ago. But then the realization of what he had made just now made Angelo’s eyes widen in surprise. He immediately looked away and bit his lips since he was not acting like himself; instead, he acted like a jealous girlfriend. Angelo wanted to run away ran away from all of this crazy situation he was forced to participate in. This party was not the one that Angelo expected to be, wherein he would be cozy in the corners of the room and eat all the foods being served.He was shocked that he was forced by d
“So the name of that leech is Vega well is a fitting name for her,” Angelo felt a brewing headache from the long explanation of Mark that he couldn’t help but give a sarcastic remark to the name of Mark’s lover. “Do you still like her?”Angelo was curious about Mark’s feelings towards his lover, whether or not he still liked her. If ever Mark still likes that Vega, then it’s appropriate for them to end everything so that Mark could be together with the one he loves.Although Angelo was uncomfortable when he thought about Mark being separated from him, but doesn’t want to be the cause- of why they can’t be together.“Aish, what am I thinking about,” Angelo then shakes his head as he grumbled to himself. “It should be the gorgeous ladies whom I should be head over heels with and not this outrageous ugly human being in front of me.”“I don’t know,” Mark&rsqu
After he had answered his wife’s question, Mark became uncomfortable the whole time. He didn’t dare to chase after Aimie- with what he had responded to her earlier. Whether or not he still likes Vega, Mark was honestly confused about his feelings. Mark hoped that he had totally forgotten about Vega else the flirting gestures he had centered for his wife would all be for naught.Mark adjusted his outfit; he placed the necktie again around his neck and combed his messy hair. He was about to head out when he heard a soft knock on the door; Mark was then mistaken that it was Aimie- who had returned to their room, so Mark happily opened the door. But he was soon discouraged when the person whom he thought would be in front of him was someone else.“Why are you here, Vega?” Mark said, not hiding his disappointment.Vega immediately hooked her arms on Mark, causing Mark to grimace for a second before he schooled his expression and smiled at Vega
When Mark had seen the video footage, he immediately summoned all the private guards of his family. He was anxious since Aimie had suddenly run away.Mark was facing back and forth; his neat and clean appearance became that of a person who has worked for five years without taking a break. He only stopped his dizzying movement when the captain of the private guards had finally stood in front of him.“My wife, she’s gone,” Mark’s last straw of confidence had finally snapped when he had seen the man whom he had trusted since he was still a child.“Relax and tell me everything that happened.” The captain, who is called Sanders, said while lightly tapping Mark’s shoulders.“We had a serious talk earlier, or you could also say that we had a light argument,” Mark messed his hair while giving a few explanations to Sanders.Mark didn’t divulge all the things that had happened
It was a typical yet bustling day inside a particular supermarket; the reason for its overly busy day was all because the people were trying to benefit from the clearance sale held inside the establishment. While most people were having a fierce battle in buying the goods that had an enormous amount slashed from the original price, a single distinct person was trying to avoid the large crowds of people.That person is a woman who was distinctive among the crowds of people since she is the only woman wearing an overly large dress and sporting a swollen belly. As she lightly rubs her belly, the woman looks at the crowded people with envy before looking at her big stomach. The woman smiled when she felt a light kick in her stomach. She then turned her body in the crowd's opposite direction and tried to grab a box of cereals in the utmost section of the shelf.The woman tried to stand on her toes as she tried to reach the cereal, and when she could not get even a single bo
“I’m going to go back to my room,” Aimie tried to steady her breathing since she was flustered by Mark’s back hug. “You better leave now if you don’t want to stay on the road driving the whole night.” “I know you’re mad because of what I have told you during the party, and I don’t know what to do for your anger to vanish. Tell me what I should do for you to forgive me.” Angelo muttered as he leaned his face on the nook of Aimie’s neck. Aimie felt the breathing of Mark against her neck; goosebumps instantly appeared all over her body because of how close Mark was to her. For a moment, Aimie doesn’t know what to do with how things progress, it was just a few minutes ago when Mark was leisurely sitting on the couch with a haughty look on his face, but now he was trying to earn her forgiveness. This action of Mark made Aimie feel weird since, although she had grown used to Mark’s loving gestures, it was her first time to see him sincerely ask for forgiveness. Tho
Thinking about those things made Aimie unconsciously shed a tear. She felt that her life would be simple now than when she was still Angelo, but she didn’t expect to experience so much heartache in Aimie’s body.If she had the chance to see the original Aimie next time, she would be sure to ask for a reward from her since all that was given to her was grief when she had possessed the original Aimie’s body. She made a mental note to take all the money of the real Aimie, including her pocket money, to spend it lavishly for her around the world voyage after this whole ordeal is done.Her daydreaming came to a halt when Mark unexpectedly wiped the tears that accumulated from the corner of her eyes. Aimie winced and was about to back away from Mark when Mark had tightened her hold on her waist suddenly.“What do you think are you doing?” Aimie tried to create some distance away from Mark using all the force her body had, and as she did s
It was as if time had stopped between the adults that were inside the house. No one wanted to break the heavy atmosphere around them, as if they were all comfortable about their hefty feelings. But soon, the suffocating feeling vanished when a loud wail of the child that Aimie was holding was heard throughout the entire house of Rain.They simultaneously looked at the child in Aimie’s arms with a look that was a combination of curiousness, bewilderment, anxiousness, and peevishness. While the attention was still on the child, Aimie glanced at Angelus’s way; her gaze was full of pleading since she didn’t know what to do with the child in her arms.Before the child’s wail could escalate, Angelus had fortunately seen the look of help in Aimie’s eyes. Angelus quickly took his younger sister in Aimie’s arms and carried his younger sister with a bottle of milk in his other hand.“Do you perhaps have a spare room so that my you
The soft and white ball with a pair of chubby hands and feet hugged Angelus tightly, and because of the height difference between the soft as mochi child and Angelus, the lovely child could only hug Angelus’s leg.The child’s big pair of sparkling eyes, completed with plump reddish cheeks, would make anyone feel in love with the lovable child. Seeing the cute interaction between Angelus and the adorable child made Aimie feel jealous since she also wanted to pinch the child’s chubby cheeks.While Aimie was dying in enviousness, the child hugging the leg of Angelus suddenly looked at Aimie’s way, making Aimie flinch for a second before giving the child a friendly smile. Even if she wanted to hug the child but given her current situation, it seems Aimie couldn’t act friendly with the cute child since she is just a stranger.Unbeknownst to Aimie, she gave a facial expression, a; mixture of longing and sadness that the child couldn&rsquo
Standing in front of a familiar place, Aimie’s conviction of living the life of the original Aimie faltered slowly. The once place she never thought she would get to see again was now before her. Aimie wanted to curse out whoever was playing with her conviction. The resoluteness she had of not seeing the parents Angelo had grown up with fell down the drain the instant she was standing right in front of the house that had the memories of the family she had missed so much.As Aimie was standing right in front of the house, recollection of the past flashed through her.Every time Angelo returned home, this house would greet him, and though his parents rarely returned home because of work, it didn’t feel like the abode was empty. The lingering warmth didn’t make him think that this house made him lonely, but why does this house who would always bring him comfort now feel as though it had become melancholic.“Is it alright for me to be here?&r
Suddenly, the memories of the past had flashed through Aimie’s mind. From how friendship was formed between Angelo and Mark. Their unruly days as students and how they formed deep friendships were shattered because of a single misunderstanding. The mouth that opened instantly closed, and whatever harsh words she was about to say to Mark were stuck in her throat. No matter how much Aimie wanted to hate Mark like in the past but seeing the man she had cherished for long as a close confidant, Aimie could not totally despise the man in front of her.Tracing the man’s fine features in front of her made Aimie realize that she had totally fallen for Mark. No matter how she denies it, it can’t hide the fact that she could not hide her feelings. Though she had already realized that she had feelings for Mark when the original Aimie and her met, it wasn’t like this moment when she could not hide it completely.The attraction she had for the man was undenia
After Aimie had sent her resignation letter via the courier service, she made her way to the meeting place that Angelus had texted her earlier. As she went to the area, Aimie’s heart was widely beating since she could finally see her family after a few months. While the car was making its way to the place, Aimie contemplated how she would act towards her family. Whether she would be respectful or nonchalant, Aimie was confused. It has been a long time since she hadn’t seen her own family, the family whom she had grown up to, her original family- Angelo’s family, whom her original self had promised to protect. And one thing that Aimie is sure would be hard to do when she meets her parents is to control herself from not crying in front of her parents.The moment the car that Rain had lent to her had finally come to a stop. Aimie looked at the tall building that was as if reaching the sky because of its height. While looking out of the car, Aimie contemplated h
As soon as Aimie arrived at their meeting area, she could not tidy her swollen face since Rain was already standing a few meters away. Rain had a look that hinted she was curious why the face of Aimie had gotten to the point of being swollen red like she had been crying for a long time.“What happened to you?” just like what Aimie had expected, Rain inquired why she had gotten to the point of being unrecognizable.Aimie wanted to just drop the matter, so instead of truthfully answering that she happened to cross paths with Mark, Aimie came up with another plausible reason why her face was in so much mess.“It’s because of the movie that I watched while waiting for you to arrive,” Aimie deduced that using this reason was more effective than telling Rain that- she had tripped on the air and cried for hours.But it seems Rain didn’t believe Aimie’s story since she was looking at Aimie with scrutinizing eyes, but rega
