Earlier she called her grandmother but she kept hearing a busy tone. She waited another hour before she tried to call her grandma again. Finally, someone answered on the other line.
"Hello, La! Who were you talking to earlier?" she immediately greeted her.
"Oh, the owner of the place where you work called me. She has been my customer for a while now."
She frowned. She believed her grandma was referring to Mrs. del Espania.
" Why?" she asked with so much interest.
"She was asking for advice again on what she should do to assure that they will get the contract from the big-time client."
"W-what did you say?" she was even more restless sitting on her bed.
Her grandmother didn't answer for a long time like she was thinking thoroughly.
"I asked her to give me two days so I could consult my crystal ball first."
Now it was her turn to think for a few minutes before saying anything.
"Oh, why are you so anxious for me to a
She stared at her face in the mirror. She just let her curly hair down. She didn't tie it like a bun. She just put on a hair cream so it will be manageable. She was wearing a large heart-shaped earring. She was still wearing big glasses.Her make-up was okay ... She guessed.She stared at herself again. Yeah, her make-up was okay, just perfect for the occasion that night. She was wearing orange lipstick. She also bought shoes that would match what she was wearing, the color was silver.Her rainbow-colored dress was so colorful. She was still feeling a bit awkward because the design of the dress seemed to be fit to her body. She was carrying a purse with her coins and phone inside.She fixed her curly hair again and then called a taxi to take her to the party's venue.As soon as she got out of the taxi, she saw many celebrities entering the vicinity. She just restrained herself from approaching them to take a picture.She handed over the invi
She was surprised when she was called to Mrs. del Espania's office. She had never been to her office not even once. She even knocked before entering. "Come in," she heard Mrs. del Espania's voice. She slowly opened the door of her office. She was even stunned to enter when she saw Clyde and Kyle also sitting inside their grandmother's office. The two were sitting on the small sofa there. She was thinking the old woman would talk to her alone. The three of them were looking at her as she entered. She swallowed a lump in her throat as she remained standing in the doorway. "Good Morning, Tash!" Kyle was the first to greet her. Clyde nodded at her in greeting. "G-good morning," she greeted the three. "Good morning too, Natasha. Come and sit down here," Mrs. del Espania said smiling, even motioning the chair in front of her desk. She immediately approached and looked at the two men first who were just sitting quietly
Zara commanded her to go to the ground floor to assist after her talk with Mrs. del Espania. She wasn't sure if she will be assisting the applicants since Zara did not give any details yet.She was surprised when she saw a line of women in gowns that looked like the one she was wearing at the party and they were also wearing pink rubber shoes!What's up? the question on her mind. She was stunned.She approached them with an astonished face. The guard approached her too."They claimed to be the woman Mr. del Espania was looking for," the guard told her with a big smile on his face.Seriously?She looked at them again. There were more or less ten women who were falling in line. She looked at the women one by one. They were all smiling as if excited. She was even more surprised at a fat woman in the middle whose fabric of the gown she was wearing was about to burst.Really?She didn't know if they were just trying to have fun or i
She was still embarrassed when Mrs. del Espania's driver picked her up at her boarding house. She only carried one suitcase and a big bag because she didn't have many things with her. She was not able to buy a lot of things since she started working in Manila.She requested to be picked up at seven in the evening that Saturday. She packed her things last night. She also cleaned her room and said goodbye to the landlord yesterday.She couldn't put a name to what she exactly felt at that time. She was happy but seemed nervous as well. She was already in the car and looking out the window.She had not yet informed her grandmother that she would be living temporarily at Mrs. del Espania's house because she was so sure she couldn't get away from her grandma's sermon.The guilt was still there but she always reminds herself that she was not a fraud and not a scammer.Not a scam? Then why were you giving instructions to your grandma that would benefit
She was still blinking and was suddenly wide-eyed when she noticed the ceiling. She suddenly looked around. She still frowned when she saw the large room. Only then did she remember that she was living in Mrs. del Espania's house. She smiled as she closed her eyes again and looked up again after a few seconds.She looked at the time. It was only four in the morning and she used to wake up at that time even when she was not working. She got up to sit on the bed first and stretched her both arms. Yawning she picked up her glasses on the table and put them on.Still drowsy she got up and went to the bathroom inside the room. She first looked at her face in the mirror. She really looks like a witch when she wakes up because her curly hair is very messy. She quickly brushed her teeth and just leave her hair down because she was too lazy to comb it.She fixed the bed and then carefully left the room. She thinks everyone is still asleep except maybe the helpers. She do
"My grandmother believes that you are our lucky charm. Unbelievable as it seems, she still believes in predictions and fortune-tellers. My brother, Clyde, is a very devoted grandson. Sad to say, he is still under the control of our grandmother. I love my grandma so much but I just can't say yes to everything she says. But Clyde can sacrifice his own happiness for our grandma especially now that she has health issues," Kyle began with a serious look standing in front of her while she remained seated on his bed.She was no longer shocked by what she heard because she had known a long time ago that Clyde was the good grandson while Kyle was the prodigal one."I'm sure you've heard about my past relationship with Claire. To make the story short, Clyde and Claire are not really in love with each other. It was just an agreement between two families. The agreement was made because of the advice of a fortune teller," Kyle suddenly frowned while explaining to her. He seemed to
She sat on her bed while holding the book of spells and love potions again. She needed that to prove to Kyle that she could make Clyde fall in love with her. She didn't want that time to come when she had no choice but to leave Clyde's life. She did not keep her feelings for the man for several years only to give up on him eventually.Three knocks stopped her from doing what she was doing. She immediately stood up and opened the door. She was surprised to see Kyle standing outside her room.She saw Kyle wearing a white shirt and jeans. The man obviously just taken his bath because she could still smell the soap and shampoo on him."Get dressed, Tash. We're leaving," he said.She would have asked where they were going but he quickly turned his back on her and walked away. She thought of what Mrs. del Espania told her about her work. She said that she should be available anytime, as long as her service is needed she should always be ready.She quickl
She lost track of how long she was sitting in one of the chairs in the salon. She even thinks she fell asleep while the stylist was busy doing things in her face and hair. There were times that he tapped her cheeks lightly to wake her up if he needed to rinse her hair. While all of these are happening, she watches Kyle’s reflection through the mirror and sees that his attention is all on his phone. She even saw him go out once to talk to someone from his phone. Natasha tried to ignore it and put her attention to the ladies giving her a manicure and pedicure.“We’re almost done. But I don’t think your outfit suits your new look. Are those your clothes? The ones Mr. Handsome was holding? You should change first before I put my finishing touches,” The stylist said while looking at her eyes through the mirror.“I don’t think I need to. We’ll just go straight home once we’re done here, anyway,” she declined.
She never thought that the day of launching her designs for the wedding fashion show would be the most memorable day in her and Kyle's life.That event went on. She wore the wedding gown she made herself. Instead of just a pictorial and fashion show of the wedding, it turned into a real wedding.She walks down the aisle and her Mom and her grandmother escorted her as she approaches the altar where the restless Kyle is waiting. Earlier, her tears wanted to flow, especially since both her mother and grandmother were crying next to her.The man was very handsome as he waited at the altar and Clyde was next to him.Kyle smiled when she get close enough. He kissed her grandmother and then hugged the old woman. He also hugged her mother and he seemed to tell her something. Then he turned to her. She was really having a hard time holding back her tears. Fortunately, he grabbed her hand. Clyde hugged her too before Kyle finally brought her to the front of t
She woke up as if there was an instrumental playing. She moaned as she stretched out her arms but frowned when it hurt. Suddenly her eyes widened when she remembered why it hurt so much.She was suddenly thrown back on her feet when she fully remembered what had happened between them. She could still feel the throbbing inside her womanhood. Kyle's thrust had been a bit violent earlier, so it was as if she had been beaten inside.Her cheeks immediately warmed when she remembered how fiercely she also responded to him.He had a leg cramp so why did he took her body like he was not hurting at all?Suddenly her eyes widened at the thought.Did Kyle trick her so she could go to his room?She didn't know what to feel because it seemed like Kyle had planned it.You want it too, don't you? Her mind said teasingly.Blushing, she shook her head. Kyle was no longer beside her. She looked at where the sound of the instrumental music
Sunday.Kyle, the kids and only a babysitter accompanied her to the resort. She invited her mom and grandma but said they would let them bond first as a family.They left in the morning. The children immediately paddled into the sea when they arrived. She watched them happily playing around.Kyle prepared what they could eat with the resort staff. She thinks he rented the entire resort exclusively because she doesn't see anyone else.Before noon they ate at the cottage. There are only five of them but it looks like a whole village's feast with the amount of food on the table. Kyle also called the resort staff to join them.Just after their children had eaten, they immediately went back to the water. Fortunately, the sun was not too hot. She already went swimming with the kids. She was in a swimsuit but she wore thin shorts.They were just in the shallow part of the beach when she saw Kyle approached them."Daddy!" Piper immediately hu
In the morning, her mother was busy preparing for dinner for Kyle's family later. Her grandmother helped her no matter how many times they stopped the old woman from helping. They didn't want her to get tired. Even though they ave housemaids, her mom prefers to do most of the work for the scheduled dinner.She couldn't help but think that her mom would have been that excited if a man's family will visit them to ask for her hand for marriage. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if she had such wishes even just that night. She could just pretend too.Kyle borrowed their children so as not to bother them while preparing. He also offered help but was politely refused by her mother.When they finally finished, they rested for a while so that they could prepare themselves later.Kyle's family arrived with their children who were also dressed new. She thinks those are the clothes Kyle's grandmother bought for the twins. Mrs. del Espania and Clyde bought a lot of stuff f
They talked to their kids last night. Kyle was more than just talking to them while repeatedly apologizing for not keeping track of the kids 'growth. The man also explained why he was not with them those times. She was grateful that Kyle made sure that their kids won't know that she was the reason why he didn't know that they exist.The twins were not feeling anything else aside from happiness and excitement. All they see is the satisfaction their kids feel that they finally have someone to call daddy as well.------------------------She took a deep breath as she looked up to Mrs. del Espania. She held Piper in one hand while Kyle held Mackenzie. It is said that Kyle has not yet informed his grandmother about their children as well as Clyde. All they know is that they have special guests.She looked around the house. All her memories went back after seeing the house again. She saw the back of Kyle's grandmother sitting on the sofa while talking to Clyde.
Her grandmother first took their children to town to give them a chance to talk. It was only her and Kyle inside her grandma's house at that moment. She remained focused on the floor. All she heard from Kyle was a heavy sigh.She just waited for Kyle to speak before she started explaining. They are inside the room where her grandmother used to receive customer. They've been there for a few minutes now but still no one initiated the conversation."Why?" His voice was very low when he asked that.In one word, she knew all the questions attached to that. She in turn, sighed deeply. She looked up at Kyle's face. They are sitting in front of each other. It was as if she was waiting for the sentence that would be given to her because of her sin."You know why," was her short reply.She already tried memorizing what she was supposed to say to Kyle when they reach this confrontation moment for so many times but still she was out of words."Enl
She was walking back in forth inside her house. She went home immediately in the afternoon to wait for her mom and her son. She was uneasy at the knowledge that Kyle was with them especially since he seemed suspicious.She was afraid to call her mother because Kyle might use that opportunity to talk to her since he was with her mom and son. When she gets tired of walking back and forth, she sits on the sofa but also gets up immediately.It was getting dark and her mother and son were still not home. She would have called her when she received a text from her mother.I'M ON MY WAY HOME NOW.Only then did she breathe easy. Maybe her Mom will just ask her driver to bring Mackenzie at home because she might be too tired to do it herself. Her house is still a bit far from hers. Her mom didn't say anything about Kyle. She was also afraid to ask. She just replied gratefully to her.She sat down again while staring at her phone
She can no longer remember how she answered Kyle's questions when he found out she has two kids. She just made sure that he would not think that she has twins.She already told her son that they would go home already before Kyle would ask more questions that he might figure it all out. Fortunately, he did not insist on taking them to her house because she was driving her car.Her mother visited her that same evening. She asked her what she planned now that Kyle had seen one of their twins. She said she's still confused. Her mom did not push her to decide in a haste.All she knew that time was that she didn't want Kyle to know about them having children. She was still determined to return to London and it would for the best to not introduce her children to their father. She did not want to hurt the children once they returned to London.Ever since Mackenzie landed in the office, he has not been willing to stay home. Not a few times he threw tantrums when s
Kyle will show their pictures for approval for the collaboration edition of their magazine next month. She can't help but attend because there are pictures of the three of them, Clyde and Kyle.They did not include other heads of both companies since that was not yet the formal meeting for next month's edition. Kyle will only ask for her approval for the pictures to be released in the second edition of their magazine.There were only four of them meeting inside the conference room. Kyle, Clyde, her Mom and her. Kyle is in the middle and is the one presenting the pictures on the big screen. They also have individual copies of those pictures.Earlier, she avoided looking at Kyle so her eyes remained on the pictures she was holding as he spoke in front of them. Clyde, who was sitting in front of her and a large table between them, also spoke to her from time to time.Their photos are beautiful, adding to the unique effects used in the pictures. She looked at
