Chapter 4 A Old Rich Man
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Today is Daphne's first day as a waitress at the club where Rose works. Primitively, Daphne didn't know what to do. Eventually, the job became easy for her, taking orders, bringing food to the table, and cleaning stuff, except for talking to drunken customers.
"Miss, can you sit with me and perhaps show some extra service..?" Someone said to Daphne. The girl's chest promptly heaved. "I'm just a waiter here.." She stuttered, talking back, and immediately left as she placed the bucket of Pilsen on the table.
As the days passed, Mother Lili noticed that Daphne became the apple of the eye of every customer who spent nights at the club.
The others even come back often just to see and fantasize about Daphne.
"Hey, Amiga.." Monique gasped when she saw Rose.
"Oh? What's up?" Rose answered while looking in the direction of her daughter. She was leaning on the pole of the countertop of the bar.
"What came into your mind, and you put my goddaughter to work here?!"
"What's wrong with that? It's only temporary.."
"Heh! Stop it, Rose. If Mother Lili can deceive you, not me. Can't you see what evil that old lady is planning for Daphne?!" Rose is throwing her friend a fierce look.
"What are you talking about, Monique? Did you see my daughter dance or tabled customer?!" It looks like the tension between them is rising.
"I don't know about you. Are you being mean or just plain stupid..." Monique ran away with a sigh. Rose was left wondering.
Meanwhile, a man in his 40s approached the countertop and looked for the bar's owner.
"Are you the owner?" Husky's voice asked Mother Lili. The old lady nodded confidently.
"I want that girl.. Did you see her?" He pointed to Daphne, who was currently busy bussing the table.
"No.. You got it wrong. She's not...." Mother Lili tried to clear things up, but the old man cut her off.
"You got me wrong.." The foreigner interrupted. "I want to marry her. I want her to be my wife. I can give her extravagant life.." Mother Lili's eyes widened upon hearing this.

The next day, Mother Lili excitedly talked to Rose about it.
"I am not selling my daughter, Mother Lili. You know that. I did her work here to save for her education, not to find a husband.""I didn't say anything like that, Rose. It's a terrible thing to say selling. Think about it, Rose. Your daughter will be able to study without having to scrub, and you, too, will live like a queen in a big mansion. Where will your daughter suppose to head? Eventually getting married as well? I learned that one is an old man but deadly rich, so you're in the jackpot. What are you worried about?!"
"I'll go head first.. I'll take my daughter with me too.." Rose replied as she stepped forward and didn't say a word to the old lady.
"Hey! Wait! Daphne's out is later!" Mother Lili shouted after her. In her haste, Rose bumped into Monique.
"What happened to that?!" Monique asked Mother Lili in wonder. "I do not know." She shrugs.
"Come on! We're going home.." Rose scolded her daughter.
"Mom, I still have two hours. It's a shame."
"Who will follow? You or me?" Rose responded angrily. Daphne eventually obeyed her mother.
Two days passed without Rose letting her daughter enter the club. At the same time, day and night thinking about what to do. Her mind was debating whether she should follow Mother Lili's suggestion.
It also occurred to her that a good life awaits her daughter.
She also remembered the appearance of the rich old man. In her opinion, he's handsome and doesn't seem like a bad person.

"Mr. Bolat, she's my daughter, Daphne.." Rose introduced them personally. "Show respect, my daughter, okay?" Daphne, seemingly petrified, without any action and just bowed.Daphne tentatively raised her hand to the old man for a handshake. She couldn't look at him for fear. She couldn't explain.
"He will provide for your studies and everything you need. You don't have to come to the club, you can buy everything you want. Do you want that?" Daphne didn't say a word and kept her head down. She was constantly fidgeting with her fingers. Her swallowing is also steady.
"You are so beautiful. I really like you.." The old man's eyes twinkled brightly as his smile spread across his lips.
"What are you doing, Rose?!" Daryl suddenly arrived and immediately pulled Rose and Daphne. "Just for a while, Mr. Bolat.." Rose said while walking away due to Daryl pulling her.
"What is your problem??" Rose asked to hold back the scream. Daphne's tears started rolling down her cheeks. This is the first time Daryl has entered the club.
"What are you doing, huh?!" Daryl asked angrily.
"And what am I doing? What do you mean?!" Rose responded with sharp eyes.
"You know what I'm saying, Rose. Did you see that man? I'm going to take Daphne home.." He pulled Daphne by the hand, which Rose immediately stopped from leaving.
"I will decide for my daughter's future, Daryl. Who are you to interfere?!"
"For her future?? With that old man? Can you hear yourself, Rose? Are you asleep and in the middle of a nightmare? Don't you love your daughter? That person is a demon, Rose! Wake up. Owe it to me! You will destroy what you say is Daphne's future." Daryl said darkly. Rose got even worst.
"Her life will be good! I love my daughter. That's why I'm doing this, Daryl! If you can't see that, that's your problem! Don't drag us into your messy life!"
"Mother... What's going on?!" Daphne was sobbing as if her young mind had realized what her mother wanted to happen.
"Daphne, Kid.. You're not going with that person, okay. I'll keep you away from here. Come on..." Daryl can't be persuaded.
"Let go of my daughter!" Rose shouted. Monique noticed what seemed to be a disturbance, so she came closer.
"Daphne, my dear. Come to godmother!" Monique called her. The girl came to her in tears.
"You too, Monique. You're probably the one behind this!" Monique's mouth opened, and her eyebrows crossed.
"Why do you instantly see Monique? Even if she doesn't say it, gossip has wings and a mouth, Rose. Let's talk about what you plan to do with your daughter! Have a fear of God."

"Mother... I don't want to marry that old guy. Please, even if I don't have to study anymore..." Daphne knelt, begging her mother when they were at home. "Stop acting, Daphne. Stop crying! I thought you were smart. Why don't you use your brain now? Huh? Your life will be fine, baby... Listen to me. I know better what will be good for you..." no "I don't want it, Mother..." Daphne whined. Rose turned back with her hand falling. She couldn't stop the tears from flowing down both her cheeks. "I'm so tired, Daphne.. Please.. You're my only hope to get out of this miserable life. What will you do in return for all my sacrifices to raise you? Is this how you're going to repay?" "But Mother, I can work.." # # # # In so much fear, Daphne was not in the right frame, leading to a terrible decision she would ever make at her young age. Daphne strongly decided to leave while her mother was fast asleep. She brought the bag that her mother had packed earlier. She wandered on the road a
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 6 To be someone's Wife
Cara got bored, waiting for Daphne to go down, so she followed her into the room. She looked over at Daphne, who was sleeping soundly. "Hmmm.. She's quite pretty.. Huh.." She smiled while crossing her arms."Am I going to wake you up or what? We need to talk.." Cara spoke to herself, still peeking at Daphne. She snorted and walked around the room. After a while, Daphne woke up."I'm sorry, Miss Cara, I fell asleep.." Cara faced her."No, it's fine. I'm sorry I woke you up, but it's right because we need to talk. It's about the job I'm going to offer you, Daphne. If you are still interested, of course.." As she spoke, her curly hair seemed to sway. "Yes. I'm interested. Any job.. I will not be fastidious, Miss Cara.. as I badly needed it." "First.. stop being so formal. Our age gap is just a little bit.." She explained to Daphne with a smile. "Alright, Miss Cara.." Daphne said hesitantly. "Remove the Miss. I may look old.." "I'm sorry.. O-okay." Daphne said back."So, do you prefer
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 7 Having Fun
As Daphne refused the offer, she went back on the street, wandering around, but nothing exactly to look out for. She could hear her belly grumbling, touching it as it felt so frustrating that she was drawn in to go back but lifted her head and shook to stand on what she thinks is best. "I told you it won't work, Cara.." Craig said in dismay, staring at his sister and then walking out. Cara just sighed but still thinking the other way around. As she always does, choosing to play around rather than put herself under pressure. "Cara...." A husky voice interrupted her busy mind at the bar. "Hey.. What a coincidence, hmm." She said prominently. The guy just chuckled in a catchy tone, lowering his gaze as if admitting she was right. "So, I guess you already know me.. Come on, Cara. I like you. Didn't I miss making you feel? Don't you have the same way?" "Hmmm.." Cara is humming, nodding with a pretty smile fixed on her lips."I do feel the same way, Dilton, but you have known me for
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 8 The Past that still Lingers
[DAPHNE YILDIZ] I could not do anything but accept my destiny. Despite the thought of wanting just to die, I still tried to strive, walking nonstop, trying to find something I could use in my struggling journey at the dump of garbage. My feet are shaking... My head hurts because of how many days I have been without anything to sustain my body. I seem to lose hope and even myself, near to losing my sanity. I look around, but nothing to see. A sudden drop of water seems to stir me up. It's about to rain. I abruptly haste, partly running to hide somewhere, but then the rain poured so harshly that it totally soaked me underneath. My mouth is already catching the falling rain due to so much thirst. Thankfully, it wetted my dried throat. I'm like a pitiful creature who has forcibly adapted to its surroundings. A few moments later, my stomach grumbled again. I was overwhelmed by the street restaurants. I feel so hungry that I want to grab any food I see.I feel like I just want to do b
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 9 Hopeless
WHEN Daphne got conscious, she was already lying in bed. A bunch of uncertainty knocked her off when her eyes rested on the vicinity. Dreadful queries filled her. "Where am I?! What am I doing here!?" Those were running over and over again in her innocent mind. She got up and left the bed, heading to the big door. Her fist immediately came to its constant knocking. "Open it!!! Is there someone in there? Can you hear me? Let me out!!!" It screamed almost hoarsely, and her nerves came out from the side of her neck. Despite the noise, no one answered. Her energy just ran out, but no one paid her any attention even though she knew there was someone due to the soft laughter on the other door. After a few more hours of feeling hell, someone finally showed up—a girl with a bland face. "Hey! Help me out, please..." Pleading with agony, the girl leaves a plate of so-called food far from it and looks like garbage. Daphne shook it so it fell and scattered on the floor. She was helpless

"You don't seem to be your bubbly self. Are you okay?" Craig couldn't help but ask his twin sister when he caught a glimpse of her. They are currently at Zeke's wedding ceremony, Cara's ex-boyfriend. "I'm lovely, brother," Cara answered without looking. When the ceremony ended, Cara planned to leave without informing Zeke, but he saw her. "Cara! Hold up!" Zeke called out, but she just looked straight at the road she was walking by. Zeke called her again. Craig didn't know whether to stop his sister or let it go. He knew there was something troublesome with Cara since they arrived at the wedding venue. "Don't look back, brother!" Cara restrained her brother when he was about to face Zeke. "If you don't confront him, he'll think you're still affected. Is that what you want to happen?" Craig was trying to make a point, but Cara seemed adamant. "I don't care what he thinks, brother. I just want to go far from this place as possible. You can stay if you want but don't stop me. You d

"Why didn't you talk? Instead, let them treat us this way, brother?" Cara nagging. "Cool down, Cara.. I have a better plan. That girl will regret this. I'll make sure of that." For a moment, Craig dialed his phone and talked to someone. "Let's go now." "No. I want to go home.." Craig agreed as Cara demanded, together heading back to the car. Cara fixed her sight at the window. Her blur memories with Zeke linger in her mind again. Craig just let her and just focused on the road. When they arrived, Craig did not hop out of the car. "Hey!" Cara shouted as her brother drove away after taking off. "Where is he going? Does he still intend to stroll??" Craig went to an illegal auction. Cara didn't know that, and only Craig and Eroz did. When Craig spoke on the phone with Eroz, he mentioned something that could solve his problem. He followed Eroz's advice to go to the address Eroz would give. A woman greeted Craig when he arrived at the place. "This way, Mr. White.." Craig was surpr
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 12 The Beginning of Everything
The next day, Craig returned to the club, where the manager herself, an accomplice with the bouncers, poorly treated them. "We're still closed..." A man said as Craig was about to enter. "Be respectful! Don't you know him? He is the owner of this club.." Craig's assistant explained. "Never mind," Craig commented and continued inside. His eyes narrowed when he saw the woman who had kicked them out again last night. "What is this woman doing here?" Craig turned to his assistant. He was unable to speak and focused on the woman. "And what do you mean? FYI, I'm the manager here. Wait! You're the one who got into a fight with my boyfriend last night. What are you doing here? You still have a face after I kicked you out?" Craig's assistant was shocked at the disrespect the woman was showing. His assistant was about to speak, but he stopped him. "Okay, I'll let you dream while it's still early," Craig said bluntly, then looked for a place to sit. Another staff who knew Craig was about

It was challenging to leave Cara, but I had to, despite not wanting to protect the company she built and worked hard for. Even though our time apart would be brief, it felt like an eternity. I entrusted Kazzy to look after her, knowing she would provide excellent care. We have made plans to Facetime daily to bridge the distance and alleviate the feeling of being away. Since arriving discreetly in Spain two days ago, my mind didn't leave Cara. Craig made an excuse for a leave of absence as he needed time for us. We must go together to avoid suspicion. However, my heart yearns to be back with the woman I love. If I could just do things fast, I would. "Are you ready?" I stood up to meet him with confidence when I heard his voice. We rented a hostel that was not eye-catcher to proceed with the plan. "Of course. I have to be." I assured him despite my initial doubts about becoming a mother at a young age.

LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 51 Another Wave
"Daph, I'm really concerned that you might get sick if you keep this up." I was lost in thought when a familiar voice broke through. It's been a whole week now, and I haven't left the hospital once. It's starting to feel like a second home to me, but not in a good way. It's as if I checked in, and there's no check-out date in sight. My attention shifted from Cara to Craig as he walked in, looking like he just got off work. "Have you eaten?" I asked, not paying attention to his words from earlier. He seemed like he was neglecting himself already due to his heavy workload. I didn't want him to end up in a hospital bed, either. "Let's not change the subject. I'm serious. If something happens to you, my sister will never forgive me. Worst.. She will definitely, no doubt, kill me." I stood up to tend him but felt unsteady. Luckily, Craig quickly caught me before my face hit the floor. "This is exactly my point!" He said firmly. "You're asking if I've eaten, but you're sk
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 50 Graduation Day
A few months passed, and Cara still didn't wake up, but I never dared to give up or stop hoping that one day she would come back.. to me. She needs to come back to know how much I love her. That I am ready to love her completely, love only her. "Daphne.. Why don't you take a break? Go home. Rest assured, I'll keep an eye on her." Craig uttered, patting my back, but I don't want to. "No.. She might open her eyes today. I don't want her to think I'm not on her side." "Of course not. Cara will not think that way, Daphne. She knows you. You know each other well." He said those with a bit of a laugh in the end. "You guys are like twins. Something connects your gut. Okay." For an instant, I come to think of it. "Besides, don't you have class tomorrow?" He's right, and I'm kind of losing track of my Acads as my focus was on Cara's recovery. "Fine.." I lifted my hands in defeat. "..But call me asap when she gains consciousness." Craig nodded. From that day forward, Cara is a sl
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 49 In A White Room
[DAPHNE WHITE]When I got conscious and gradually opened my eyes, I instantly closed it again 'cause of the pang in my head. I held on to it. "Don't move yet." I should have gotten up. There was this urge I could not stop from igniting within me. I must see Cara before it's too late. "Where's Cara? I have to go see Cara!!." I screamed out at the top of my lungs as I cupped my bandaged head. I heard Craig sigh, an indication that something terrible had happened. "Please, Craig. I need to talk to Cara. I can't lose her." I begged, trying to take off my bed. "Yes, Daphne. I understand you, but in these times, you have to put yourself first. Get well first." What I perceived was not processed in my brain. All I could think of was Cara. I have to stop her from leaving me for good. "You don't understand me, Craig. I can't lose Cara. She needs to hear what I have to say." I feel like I'm losing her. I seem to be late, messing things up, and I could not afford that to happen. This time
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 48 A Dilemma
[DAPHNE YILDIZ WHITE] "Let me help you," I said, not heeding her words that seemed like a knife that could easily make me bleed. "Stop, Daphne! Just... Just go away. Get out!" She struggled with my touch. "Alright. Alright. I'll leave you alone after this." I just want to help her change and feel comfortable so she can go to sleep. "You are not listening, Daphne. I said leave!" She pointed to the door out. I gulp and freeze on my stand. This is the first time Cara has driven me away. She must be distraught by me. I couldn't do anything but follow her because I was already feeling pain from her sudden treatment. THE FOLLOWING DAY.. As I stepped out of my room, I was thrilled to see Cara heading out. We were so engrossed in our own thoughts that we accidentally collided. Our eyes locked, and in that moment, time seemed to stand still. Without a word, Cara drew nearer, and before I knew it, we were wrapped in a warm embrace, sharing a heartfelt kiss. This was only my s
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 47 Your Own Worst Enemy
[DAPHNE YILDIZ WHITE] We just finished our two classes, and we are now heading to the cafeteria. While walking, my mind was too preoccupied. It's been two days since Cara unleashed her true feelings towards me, loving me romantically, in exactly fine words. It's just a simple fact, yet it seems like a storm that literally washed the hell out of me. Suddenly, my world had gone wild enough to sabotage my sanity continuously. I'm so fucking confused about what to feel anymore. What exactly is inside my chest? Is this just a phase that, as days go by, it will all pass? The day Zammy asked Cara if she likes me and I found out that I was only a responsibility and obligation to Cara, I felt terrible. Now that Cara said she loves me, I still can't get what my heart really yearns for. This is fucking fucked up damn shit.... "What's with the long face, Daph?" Bridgette's brows knitted as we settled in our seats. The noise surrounding us was like nothing, as chaos ran through my w
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 46 Confession
From the stairs, I already smelled the aroma of something that was definitely coming from the kitchen as I got to see the dining still empty. I walk through it, following what my nose lingers with. "Good morning." I heard her greet me without even paying gaze on me. How did she sense my presence as I stepped soundless? "G-good morning," I respond, stuttering. I can see that she's in the mood, literally not sick at all. What a trap, Daphne. You, indeed, know how to tame me. Lucky for you.. What bad luck for me. I was taken aback when she suddenly turned around, facing me while holding a spoon. "Taste it, Cara." Hesitantly, I still obeyed her, opening my mouth. I swallow and lick. "Not bad." Her brows wrinkled in awe. "You don't like it?" I just hissed, turning my back on her. Everything about her... I don't just like it. I love it, except for her mixed signals. Her confusing motif, actions, and behavior.Before I could go far away, she already stood in front of me. "Tell me
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 45 Love Trance
"The fuck! You are going, Cara." Kazzy yelled at my back after I said to Daphne that I'd be home, just give me a half hour, and don't sleep yet. "I'm sorry, Kazzy, but I have to go. She's sick." I explained, walking inside to grab my things. "Sorry for your damn self, Cara. And please.. She won't die. It's just a simple sickness. Oh Gosh!" I just threw her a 'my decision is final.' look. "I love her. I will always put her on top of my priorities." Before I turned my back to her, I saw her sympathetic face as if saying that tonight was my funeral. When I reached home, I went directly to my room. Abruptly, I come closer to the woman who's lying in the bed. "Hey... Are you alright? Did you drink your medicine already? Since when have you been vomiting? Did you consult the doctor already? What did they say?" Non-stop, I murmured as I sat beside her after she lifted to tend me, leaning on the headboard. She did not say any words and slowly caressed my cheek. Her eyes were red,
LOVE TRIANGLE Chapter 44 Love In A Muddle
Many days had passed like a breeze without seeing Cara. As time went on, I couldn't bear to be without her presence, so I thought of going to her office, to pay her a surprise visit. I was walking in the hallway and was about to open her office door when I was stopped. She was with another woman. It's not Kazzy because I know her voice anyway. Perhaps her assistant or whoever. I didn't think about it anymore and just went in."What's happening?" Suddenly, my heart beat faster when I saw someone sitting on her lap. They stood up together, but the image of their previous position was left in my mind. "What are you doing here, Daphne?" I can't speak suddenly. It was as if something blocked my throat. My chest is tense up. I don't like how I feel. "Nothing in particular.. I just brought you lunch. I barely see you at the mansion, so I thought of coming here. Alright, I'm leaving." I quickly turned around after placing what I was holding on her table because my tears were about to fa
