She knew she looked ridiculous because she was still posing with high-heeled shoes just to pick up the scattered belongings and clothes of the models. Other models look at her while she picks up the clutter. She doesn't care about meaningful looks or what others say. Her mind is more focused on Kyle and the pain her heart feels.
Earlier, her feet still hurt because of the length of the heel of the shoe she was wearing. If only Venus was there, maybe she would have sympathized with her but the woman always has out-of-town pictorials. Weakly, she sat down in a box next to her while taking off her shoes. She wanted to call her grandmother but she wouldn't do that first because she might say something she shouldn't because of the state of how she feels now.
Have you given up, Tasyang?
She shook her head. She understands Kyle. Of course, it was inevitable that he would actually doubt her love because of what he found out. She just really needed to explain every
Natasha went straight home to the house of the del Espanias. She first locked her heart to not feel anything while writing her resignation letter. She also packed her things to go home to the province that same day. She knew her grandmother would be shocked when she saw that she had all her things with her.She was stunned to see her grandmother's charm book as she arranged the belongings. Suddenly, it was as if big hands were squeezing her heart again. Eventually, the expression on her face disappeared again and she simply threw the book in the trash. She also threw away the pink rubber shoes and masquerade mask she wore to the party. She left all that in the cabinet.Fortunately, the gown made by Venus is still in the studio. She would just tell her friend about it. She called a taxi. She would have liked to say goodbye personally to Mrs. del Espania but she is not home. She often goes to friends and relatives so as not to get bored inside since her grandchildr
She looked out of the window of the plane she was boarding. Only a few minutes left and she'll be in the Philippines.How many years has it been since she left the country?It has been six years since she flew to London. Ever since she found out that Reina Grande is her real mother, her life has been going well. She sent her to London to study. And also because of her passion and the company her mother has, she studied at the College of Fashion in that country. It is not easy to accept that Reina Grande was the mother who abandoned her. She has always resented her mother because she had abandoned her for more than twenty years but with her and her grandmother's explanation, she understood everything.When her father died in the accident, he was with another woman. Her mother was already pregnant with her at that time. It was not easy to find out that her husband had died and was accompanied by another woman. When her mother gave birth to her, she lef
On the third day of her return to the country, Shirley accompanied her to visit their town. They recovered her grandmother’s house from the bank but no one lived there for several years. Aling Meding's daughter studied in Manila and worked there. Someone comes to their house to clean once a week. They don't have any relatives that can stay at their home while they are away because they also have their own houses. Others are in Manila like her Ate Joy.They went straight home. She wanted to cry when she saw the house. She has many good memories there. She suddenly ran when she saw her old bike. She actually cried as she carefully touched it. It seems like only yesterday was the last time she rode it. Suddenly she saw the scene where her face sank into the buffalo's manure when the bike fell. She laughed when she remembered that. She also lost her smile immediately when she saw the face of the young version of the man she had avoided imagining for six years."Hey!
The makeup artist of her mother's company is already done with fixing her makeup. She was sitting in front of the mirror and her gaze seemed to penetrate her own reflection. Her hair was neatly tied back and not a single strand was left to cover her smooth shoulders. The long gown she was wearing was red and backless.Even though it is over the knee length, the slit of the dress on her left side is long, so one of her thighs will be exposed when she walks. She was wearing the necklace given to her by her Mother. There was that little diamond pendant that was also paired with diamond earrings. It was as if she was staring at a stranger while staring at her reflection. There is no denying the sadness in her eyes even if it seems like she already has everything in her hands.She is very different from the woman being bullied because of her unpleasant face. She sees a very beautiful woman in the mirror. A picture of a woman who has nothing more to ask for but why does she
Jethro immediately greeted her when she returned to the hall."I just saw Kyle." She gave the man a worried look.He just nodded while holding her forehead. She held on to the man's arm as if she was losing strength."Are you okay? I didn't know that your mother invited him.""It's okay, Jeth." She was forced to smile at him to give him assurance that she was okay.His family knew about what Kyle had done to them. Jethro is also considered her brother. Her mother nurtured him and educated him. Jethro was the son of her mother's best friend who had long since passed away."By the way, how are you and Kath? Why aren't you with her?" She changed the topic to forget for a moment that Kyle was just around.Kath was his girlfriend who became close to her as well. They are really just waiting for Jethro's wedding. The man was only a year younger than her."She said she'll just catch up because her flight back here is next week."
Her Mom formally introduced her to all the employees of the Dashing Ash Agency. She showed her her own office in the company. Unbelievably, she rolled her eyes at that large room. It even has a mini-sofa."Wow! I love it, Ma! Thank you.""I'm glad you liked it. I will include you in all my meetings with clients and you can observe first and when you're ready, you can help me manage our company already."She smiled and held her mother's arm."Starting today, you can see me here. I'm willing to learn everything to help you. So, what should I do first?""Now that you said that, we will have a meeting today for a collaboration proposal so be ready after an hour.""Sure, Ma. Is it in the conference room? You can leave me here first if you have things to do. I'll just pass by your office later so we can go to the conference room together."She knows that her Mama is always busy because she trusts no one but Jethro. So she went home to help
The heels of her shoes tingle with every step she takes. She was walking in a hurry as she entered the Dashing Ash Agency building. She looked at the time. It is almost ten o'clock in the morning. Her mother did not force her to go to the office early because she did not want to accept a position in the company as long as she did not know much about management. As her mother suggested, she attends business meetings and conferences just to observe. When there are no meetings, she designs clothes.She also interacts with models and other employees of their company so that she can have a good relationship with them. She took the elevator and pressed the floor number. The elevator opened on the 6th floor where her office was. She was even surprised when it opened, Kyle stood up, waiting for the elevator door to open earlier. He has a camera strapped to his neck. Smiling, he entered the elevator while looking at her."Good Morning, Ash!"She moved away from him. Fort
Even before she flew to London she found out she was several months pregnant. The emotions she felt at that time were mixed. She felt joy, sadness, and great fear when she learned that the brief moment she and Kyle had shared had paid off. She could do nothing but admit to her grandmother everything except the part where Kyle accused them of lying and she was only after their money so she did everything to get his attention. She just said that their relationship didn’t work out so they separated. She said the same thing to her grandmother and mother.Her grandmother wanted to let Kyle know so he could be held accountable. With the help of her mother, they convinced the old woman that it would be better for the man not to know because they would also leave the Philippines.Her mother was overjoyed when she found out. Contrary to her grandmother's reaction, she did not even mention that Kyle would be held accountable. She left her to her decision as long as t
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
