[ Narrator's P . O. V]" Keep everything secret. Don't tell anyone about my situation!" Getting out of the cab, Leona almost pleaded. Blake was with her the entire time and she didn't want him to tell her situation to anyone. However, Blake released a sharp sigh when she said that. " I assume that something big happened to you. But I have no idea what's going on with you! Your doctor didn't let me know about your situation!" He confessed, kindly revealing disappointment in his tone. But his face turns gloomy when he notices her relieved expression." Thank God! Anyway, Thanks for today. You helped me a lot. You should go back home. It's already dark!" She said heading towards the door." Whose house is it?" he questioned scanning the enormous house." Someone I know." She replied nonchalantly." What about your old house?" He wondered..." What do you mean?" Leona knows that he is aware of her situation. Even moved out of the old house when she grew up with her parents. But asking
" Ma'am! Young Master didn't attend school today. His phone has been switched off since morning!" Hearing from the butler, Mrs. Wordsmith places the coffee on the table and straightens her back. Juanita Wordsmith, 45 years old, is a successful businesswoman who started her career as a successful actress. To her, time is money and money is power which gives her the power to control everything.However, amid the power, she is playing with, she raised a son who, unfortunately, is uncontrollable. Blake Wordsmith, the only heir of the Wordsmith family has been neglecting his duties as the successor of this family, just because, he thinks he is in love with a little girl from nowhere.And, she isn't unaware of her rebellious son who is destroying his life slowly for some lowlife." Where is he now? Call him here!" " Young Master hasn't returned yet. Ma'am!" " Hasn't returned? Behind my back trying to get a job in a filthy supermarket, spending time outside, not attending classes. What d
" You sure you are going to transfer to JK International High School?" A gasp of excitement escaped from Olivia when she found out about Leona transferring schools. She knows very little about Leona's personal life. However, she knows what a good friend and coworker is supposed to know." Yeah," Leona replies shortly. " Oh God. This is not normal as I heard. They don't accept transfer students in the middle of the semester. You are already preparing for the entrance exam. That's miraculous." Leona is aware of this matter too. Judging by the principal's reaction to Vasquez, she already knew she would be a student there even if it was against protocols!" Well, Congrats. You will get a taste of rich people's schools. I heard they are very competitive but egoist. So, be careful!" Olivia warned since it's not new that scholarship students face the rude spoiled children's rude behavior. Although, the school is strict and well-managed. But who knows what happens?Leona hums while unpacki
" Where is it?" Her eyes roam around the graveyards, clutching eyebrows, She is wondering why Vasquez brought her to an old graveyard. However, her questions and expression make Vasquez more confused than she is." Was anyone from your family buried here?" She asked, wearing an expression of concern as she knew Vasquez wasn't in a good mood. But Vasquez walks through the narrow footpath, scanning all the names of those gravestones." What's going on? Mind to explain. Who are you looking for?" She follows shouting from behind. Vasquez's taciturn nature sometimes irritates her. He is silent as fuck." Nothing! Let's go!" " What the? You just brought me here for nothing. C'mon! Mr. Vasquez. I am not an adult and mature like you that I can understand without hearing any words!" She pouts disappointedly. However, this time as well, he keeps silent. Totally ignoring her words, he hops in the car and opens the door for her." Tsk. You are annoying. That's why you never got to date some
The sizzling sounds of grilled beef and squids on the grill did help to calm Leona down who was now, embarrassed. Wiping her running nose, she moves to the tent that Vasquez helped to put on the private area which needs permission from the authorities.Since he is a Big shot in the business area, it didn't take long for him to get the permission." I never thought I would cry." Dragging a chair towards Vasquez who is trying his best to cut the mushrooms, she sits down. However, a scream almost escapes from her when she looks at the beef and squids."OMG! What did you do?" His eyes go on her when she yells, her face is shrouded with distinct disbelief." What happened?" he asked." How cut the meat like this? When the oil is omitted from the meat, it will shrink. It will be easier to eat soon. If you cut that much thickly. Ah! Let me!"Taking the knife from him, she starts slicing everything perfectly. The cold Man, Vasquez silently watches her doing like she has been doing this kind
" It's weird. Because she doesn't recognize her parents' graveyard. I need full details. Make sure no single information about them becomes unseen!" Hanging up, Vasquez puts the phone aside and looks at the email, that his friend sent him. In the early morning, They returned from the beach. Today is Leona's first day of her new school, he didn't want her to be late. Her exam is knocking on the door. She has to attend the mock test too. He doesn't want to delay her education. As he concentrates on the email, his thick eyebrows clutch, poking his inner cheek with his tongue, he straightens his back with a distinct annoyance on his face." What the hell did she do behind me? Where did she get those tests? There is no record of any hospital in this prescription!" Rubbing his temple, he kept staring at the screen until he decided to ask her himself. Since he is her guardian, she must know that he is the one who will decide her situation.Anyway, his attention goes to his assistant who r
Vasquez's eyes narrow as he looks at the lunch box. The scent of the warm food hits his nostrils, encouraging his appetite to eat them. However, a wave of guilt keeps him bothered. Being defeated by his subconsciousness, he dials the number of the principal where she will study. Before that, not to miss the chance to taste her food, he picks the meatball. " Mr. Vasquez! It's a great surprise for me to -"" Did Leona Belle reach at school?" He questioned in a cold voice not quite interested in some sweet talking. But his eyes wide open, goes on the food, staring at it profoundly. He didn't expect that the food would be perfect and suit his taste. " She..." Although the silence is speaking out of his hesitation, he tries to hide... " Yes. She came. And -"" Don't lie. Check if she is there or not!" The principal nods instantly, opening the CCTV monitor. However, his face turns pale when he notices that the seat of Leona is empty." I am sorry for earlier. But seems like Ms. Leona i
The fingers on his temple never leave as he keeps rubbing while driving to nowhere. Vasquez informs the school that she is missing. Her workplaces and Her mother. However, Her mother stays silent in this matter as she doesn't want to get caught by Leona until she pays off the bill.Not understanding the situation that Leona is going through, she is quite concerned about her looks and the money for her loan. Additionally, she has given all of her rights to Vasquez. So she doesn't want to have a headache thinking about Leona overall.At the same time, Aaron is sipping coffee in the lobby of Vasquez's company. An employee places the tray with some fruit.As she attempts to leave after excusing herself, Aaron puts the cup down and stops her." How is Vasquez doing recently?" The female employee turns as if she knows he will ask her that question. She walks, approaching him while keeping her distance. " Grandma Peter is gone, Master Victor!" Aaron's eyes widened, and he stood up. " Wha
The pairs of eyes meet when Both of them get out of the rooms. Their eyes look at each other, observing lovingly." Here is our perfect couple! Wow. The couple dresses are perfect on them!" She walks out. Her figure is gracefully adorned in a floor-length, ebony gown, its fabric glistening with a subtle sheen. The dress accentuates her slender frame, with a plunging neckline that draws attention to her décolletage, and a tasteful side slit revealing a hint of her leg. Her shoulders are bare, giving a hint of her attractive frame. Vasquez's eyes don't retreat, watching the alluring girlfriend whose appearance dims every single thing in this room. Shining, glistening like his only wishing star who he has as him forever. Her eyes are reflecting the shock after seeing the person she adores so much in that crisp, onyx black shirt which is tailored to fit snugly on his body, and broad shoulders without any problems. The Rolex watch, the styled hair and black framed sunglasses, everything
"Nobody told me that today is your birthday. That's bad!" Leona pouts, kinda disheartened by everyone that nobody let her know about Vasquez's birthday. She might have prepared something for him beforehand. However, what is done is done. She wants to buy something for him...But...Vasquez is too stubborn to let her go now. Wrapping his arms around her waist, Vasquez is standing in front of the ocean with Leona. From time to time leaving some kisses as he missed her so much." It's okay. Usually, I don't celebrate my birthday. But this time, it's exceptional. I want to spend my day with you. Only you!" Leona blushes lowering her gaze. " Do you wish me to do something for you? Anything is fine. Anything that you want to eat?"" Hmmm. Let's go on a date!" " A date?"" Yes. Our first official date. Let's go on a date!" Leona knows there is no way that she will reject his wish. Nodding off her head, she agreed to go on a date. Their first and last date...****The entire day, both of
When they handed the passport and two tickets to her hands, she confusedly looked at them. " How?"" Shall we go? Let's go somewhere beautiful!" A wave of unwillingness and fear work within her, somehow she is thinking negatively about this journey since they are so into taking her abroad or somewhere. It would be better if they took her to Vasquez than wasting time somewhere else." We are returning home anytime the next day? right?"She asked when she saw the returning ticket. If something doesn't seem right, she will return as soon as possible. " Yes. We are. Anytime you want." Anne said walking towards the immigration department.Leona nods, and carefully puts the returning ticket in her purse, making sure she can get it anytime.However, her eyes go to the name of their flight. Somewhere familiar..." Shall we go? It's our plane!" Vina holds her hand and smiles.Nodding Leona follows her. This is the first time, she is going to fly. However, it doesn't make her as happy as she
"Yes. That's right. You all don't have to return for two days. Spend your time with your family. I will notify you all once we return!" After entering the house, Leona finds everyone being so busy with work, Other than Vina, Anne, and Butler, nobody is at home when everyone is supposed to return home today. Confused, she walks towards Anne who is cleaning the couches, mattresses, and other furniture. The speed of her cleaning is giving away her rush to get them finished. " Are we expecting guests?" As she speaks, three of them look at Leona as If they were waiting for her. " Young Miss is here. Vina! Help her to get ready. I will handle everything here!" Pushing Leona toward Vina, Anne shouts. They are in a rush. Vina meanwhile, stops wiping the glass off the dining table and holds her hand. " Wait! What happened? What do you mean by getting ready?" Leona flinches seeing them in so hurry as if they're running away from the house. " No more words, Sweetheart! Let's get ready.
Next day...The social anxiety that never left Leona suddenly disappeared. Since she has nothing to lose or nothing to gain, even getting scared of people seems to be a joke to her. Despite getting uncomfortable around people, she ignores her all problems. She has to leave her entire world here, anything can't be bigger and scarier than this. Right now, Leona follows the constable who is heading inside the visitor room. She is going to meet someone whom she wishes to choke to death. However, she can't. Her life is always a joke. She doesn't want to add more jokes to it.Dragging the chair, she sits in front of a very familiar stranger, who she once wanted to see happy and healthy. Who she loved so much that despite being abused by her mother, she kept living on. " It's been a while. Are you living well?" Her cold and nonchalant voice doesn't feel like it belongs to an eighteen-year-old girl." Why are you here?" Her father asked coldly." To see how miserable you are now after ma
" You don't want to work anymore! Did something happen?" Rick, her Boss questions as she asks to quit the job. Leona shakes her head while sipping her smoothie. She doesn't want to talk about it. Still, she needs to give some excuse to quit the job that she has been working for a long time." It's very personal. I don't want to say the reason. I will work till Thursday. Please don't tell anyone about my leaving the job!" She requests as she knows Vasquez will eventually find out if she tells anyone. " Is it because of Our Boss? He wants you to stop working!" " Do you think so? Nobody can stop me from working if I want to. It's definitely nothing. Just do as I said. Don't worry. You will get some employees better than me!" She said smiling brightly. It's time to say goodbye to everyone. And her very familiar old life. " Fine. I am just heartbroken to see my most lovely and loyal employee is leaving me. But Best of luck!"" Thank you, Boss! I have to somewhere. Let's talk later!"
" We can help you for five more days! We have an emergency patient who will occupy the room where your brother is staying! Please contact us as soon as possible!"The wine creates a deafening silence in her ears as she stands before the wild sea. The voice call from the hospital where her brother is being kept was sent to her since she was unable to receive it. Her eyes get lost in the vastness of the ocean. Wishing, if she could disappear without any trace. Where she would go, where she would stay and what she would feed her brother, all of those questions would have disappeared with her disappearance." Young Miss! We are taking pictures. Please join us!"" Sure!!!" Her smile appears as free and lovable, trustworthy and pure. However, she knows, her cheeks are exhausted, her heart is bleeding and her body refuses to act like she is happy.She wants to embrace those ten people who are waiting for her to join them, be with them as family, as their beloved family.But she knows, every
" Here goes another sigh!!!" Everyone is watching Leona who is constantly sighing, while doing her math in the dining room. Since she doesn't want to spend time alone, she decided to study in the dining room to see everyone working, around her. However, Anne and Vina who are helping Chef to prepare the ingredients for dinner, have been observing her nonstop sighing. The frown on her forehead and the sad look on her eyes don't get ignored by them. " Young Miss!" Anne places a few grapes on the plate and sits on a chair. Her solemn eyes shift on Anne with a forced smile. " Do you need something, Aunt?" " Shall we go for a walk? With Belle. She is bored of staying home all day long." Saying she gets closer to Leona and whispers..." She misses her Mommy too much!" Leona giggles as she whispers and nods. " Let's go. What about we having dinner outside with everyone?" Her eyes spark with excitement as she suggested. It will be perfect for her to spend time with everyone together." D
At evening...In a luxurious VIP suite, two people are sitting on the bed tucking themselves inside the blanket. The orange hue of the evening sky is peeking through the transparent curtains, making them frown from time to time. One of them is too speechless to form any correct words out and another one is still too drunk to understand the situation. " I... I think it's a mistake... We shouldn't have..." Sophie grabs her dress before speaking as Aaron wakes up after two hours, yet to be sober. However, her words bring him to reality. His eyes reach to his wristwatch, and with a panic, he might have missed the flight at night. But when he realises that time didn't pass that much, a heavy sigh of relief heaves." Are you listening to me?" She said coldly, shaking him constantly. Aaron's silence is bothering her. She is on the way to call off the relationship. She has yet to move on. How could she make a stupid decision? They have crossed some lines and are now on the way to regret.
