That night, Jessica came back home to find Diana crying and packing up her bags and belongings in her room. She didn't need anyone, to tell her what was happening before she made her way over there to stop her.“What are you doing?” She asked Diana, who didn't look up at her but continued doing what she was doing. She knew that definitely if she did, that she's going to lose control of her emotions.Now is not the time to cry but to act fast to save Jessica's life. If there's anything she knows about Kelvin is the fact that once he puts his mind to do something, he won't stop until he has achieved that. His threat to hurt Jessica isn't a bluff, and she didn't want him to come over tomorrow to embarrass her further here.Besides, she has overstayed her welcome at Jessica's place. It isn't right to involve Jessica, the innocent young lady in her family matter.Her biggest mistake was coming over to stay with her when she should have gone MIA. Kelvin knew that she was here with Jessica,
Xavier was adamant on making Diana the editor for his story, so the necessary guidelines that came up was him getting information about her.It was late in the night and Anne was asleep on his bed, but he wasn't feeling sleepy which made him use that time to go check on Diana's file.He's been over anxious to figure out who she was, and he's not going to waste an opportunity like this, regardless of Cheng not being happy that he's settling for an intern for his story, but at the end, he's the author. So he gets to make decisions about who and what he will include in his story.Staring at Diana's picture at the top of the file, Xavier noticed that there wasn't any single blemish on her face. Even while staring at her back there at J&C, it made him wonder why she chose to be an editor rather than a model or an actress.She has the looks and body for it.“Diana.” He whispered to himself, crossing his legs over the other on top of the table, but his demeanor changed instantly when he saw t
It was Monday again, and Diana was dreading going back to work because of what happened the last time. She knew that Editor Lin, won't settle down for an intern taking up what rightfully belongs to her, so she made up her mind to talk to Xavier if the opportunity arrives.She could barely sleep, she had dark circles under her eyes due to the fact that she was scared of what Kelvin might do, if he comes around this evening to take her back and she doesn't comply. She just did it know how much fear she has for someone that she loved, that is not proper.Love is harmless, but with Kelvin, she just didn't know. When she needed him to be there for her, he went around sleeping with other girls, and now that he doesn't have her attention anymore, he now wants her back.What a big hypocrite he is!But it's sad, she's not going back to him, and she meant that.“Are you ready?” Jessica asked, breaking the young lady out of her thoughts when she parked her car, and saw that Diana was gone.“Yeah
The tension was thick in the air hanging between Editor Lin, and Diana who was outside the lobby where they had the privacy to do whatever Lin called her out here to do.Diana wasn't stupid, she already had an idea what this was all about, but for the sake of not losing her work, and respect for her senior colleague, she didn't object to her request to talk to her.When Editor Lin had seen that they were now alone, with her arms folded together with a biggest sneer on her face that was there as a result of what happened, in the office moments ago. She wasted no time going straight to the point about why she was standing here, with this low life intern that was about to take such a big deal from her.“Tell him you can't do it.” She said, as Diana’s face said it all that she didn't understand what she just said.“What?” She asked, not entirely getting the phrase of the who to tell that she can't do what exactly?Editor Lin didn't rush her, no, she wasn't in a rush to shout at her becau
“Thanks for your hard work.”Mia, Anne's assistant said to the photographers and the others who helped make today's shooting successful. While Anne was in the dressing room, trying to get ready to go home to Xavier.It was clear that Anne was taking advantage of Xavier, using the reporters being on her neck to live with him, just so she will be with him at all times. Although Xavier wasn't complaining which she doesn't mind, Anne didn't care. Not at all.She loved Xavier.He's the kind of man, any woman out there will want to spend the rest of their lives with, although she still has a promising and successful career as a model. Anne didn't mind the fact that getting married to him would change everything about her.Xavier hasn't made mention of marriage yet, he also hasn't clarified yet if they are dating but in her eyes, they are dating. Thanks to the Internet and her agency working together to bring her close to her man.After being on her phone for a while and checking on her soci
“Oh! You are here.” Marianna acknowledged Kelvin's presence, so did her guest that was at the dining table who was Liliana's mother, Aurora White, his mother's best friend and their family friend. “Come over, Kelvin.” Marianna added.But the look on Kelvin's face, said differently that he didn't like what was happening here, he's stuck with trying to overlook the fact that Diana was serious about divorcing him, and leaving him all by himself.He has come over because his mother has something to tell him, and he also has some message about the company to relay to her too. But then, this setting wasn't what he was expecting coming down here.His mother can be too demanding, and she's stubborn. He looked over at Liliana who has this biggest smile on her face, as if she just won a lottery. She couldn't take rejection so well and now she's involving her parents?“Kelvin, is that you?” Aurora asked, and Kelvin had no other choice but to compose himself before making his way over where they
“It's been a while since i have done something like this.” Diana said, while holding onto Jessica's arm while they took a scroll in the late night.Well, it wasn't that late considering the fact that it's a very busy city, and everyone was still going about their businesses.“Yeah, Kelvin is a douchebag,” Jessica laughed, “Do you happen to know the reason why he didn't come as promised?” She turned to ask Diana, who has an ambivalent look on her face. She didn't know anything, but she's happy that he didn't show up tonight because it would have been messy.Jessica has gone ahead to file a complaint against him, and the cops are waiting on him to show up. Unfortunately he didn't show up, it was as if he knew what was going on, but that didn't make her feel any better.She knew Kelvin to the core, he's not someone that gives up easily. If he was, they would have divorced a long time due to her inability to give him a child. Just thinking about their married life in the past years, gave
“Sign here, sir.”It was finally happening.Staring at Xavier, who was still the same as he was days ago, stealing glances at her while his manager, Cheng, did the talking with James.Diana could feel someone burning holes in her head, and it wasn't the same with feeling Xavier's eyes on her. It was cold and hateful, when she turned to her side she saw Editor Lin, glaring at her instead of making herself useful, as the errand girl she was to James.She rolled her eyes at her before looking away from her depressing energy, only then was it now her and Xavier alone in the room. His assistant, Jake, who was here with them was nowhere to be found and James, was still in the other office with his manager.Diana felt her palm sweaty from the way that he was looking at her, it was very obvious that he was anticipating this meeting between the both of them. But it's not the same with her, she just didn't understand the look on his face that was directed at her.He was sending the wrong signal
It was late in the night when Kelvin parked his car outside the hotel Liliana was staying. He didn't know why he came here instead of going home, to play the dutiful husband to his wife that was keeping secrets from him.Maybe it has to do with the fact that Liliana said that it's urgent, or that he needed a distraction to hold in his anger just at the thought of Diana cheating on him.He stepped out of the car, without knowing that he kept his phone in the car because at that moment Diana's call came in but he didn't pick up.While he entered the elevator to Liliana's room, Diana had to stay awake waiting for him in the house, concern lacing her entire demeanor because she had no idea what was happening to him.At first, she had thought of calling his mother, but swept the idea to the carpet because as much as she and Kelvin had reconciled, his mother's hatred towards her was on another level. So, she waited for him to be back.After coming out of the elevator and pressing in the pas
It was six on the dot, and it was time to leave. After a stressful day having gone through the needed files about Xavier’s new story without any distractions like the first time, Diana could admit that he has grown up.She didn’t see him today, neither did his assistant come to check up on her. The only way she was convinced that she was being watched was through the CCTV camera in the sitting room.Xavier might not be here with her, but his presence was hardly unknown from the number of cameras in the sitting room, the hallway leading to the bathroom?The place was like a fortress , and not just anyone would come into the house, be it a burglar regardless of it being just Xavier that was living alone.As she was busy packing up to leave, her phone started to ring and when she saw who was calling she smiled.Jessica.“Hello, miss girl or would i say Mrs.” Jessica said, teasing her. It was obvious that she’s still trying hard to live around the fact that she wasn’t staying with her any
“I’m sorry but Anne isn’t in sound health, how about we schedule another photo shoot for her when she's…hello.” Mr. Black, her agency’s president, said over the phone while Anne looked at him saying nothing as her schedule for the day went downhill.She was here in the hospital because right after Xavier left her, after breaking up with her. She went straight into drugs and overdosed on it. Had it not been for her assistant, Mia who walked in to find her unconscious in her bedroom. Nobody would have known what would happen to her.But one thing was clear, it was all because of Xavier and right now, Mr. Black is controlling himself from being at it with Xavier’s agency, they were breaching a contract but it was very obvious to Anne that Xavier doesn’t care about any of it.He was down to pay for any damages but she doesn’t want to believe that it’s true, rather she was hopeful that he will come around, and come see her once he hears that she’s in the hospital.“Thanks Mr.Banks. I will
“Anne has been calling.” Jake told Xavier, who was busy watching Mrs. Ross work from the CCTV he implanted in the room. It was obvious that he didn't hear what he just said or that he didn't care, after all, Anne never really meant anything to him.“Yeah, she's a pain in the ass.” Xavier mumbled, not really giving Jake the full details of his sudden hostile actions towards his supposed girlfriend.For the past few days, Xavier has changed his passcodes, preventing Anne's access inside his house. Yesterday, Jake ran into her outside the gate, Xavier wasn't at home when she came and from the look on her face, it meant trouble.Jahe didn't know how to go about, pushing Xavier to tell him what transpired between him and the young lady, the last time he had forced him to do so, they had a huge rift between them. As much as he loved Anne and wanted her to always be happy, even if he's not the reason for the smile on her face, he's still working for Xavier and might lose his job.Jake's phon
“Are you sure that you don’t want me to drive you to work?” Kelvin asked again, suspecting that something was wrong with Diana not wanting him to drive her to her workplace.He was persisting to do that, on the other hand, Diana was doing everything possible for him not to know that she wasn’t actually going to work at the publishing company anymore.She didn’t know, but telling Kelvin about her working directly from Xavier’s house, a non-disclosure contract being signed about this very job, made her feel like she’s leaking out top secret information.He’s her husband, but she practically knew nothing about his family business, aside from the fact that the company is a tech company. So, yeah, she owes him no explanation, well as of now.He’s suspecting her like she’s hiding something from him, she could see it in his eyes. The doubt, but she didn’t know how to go about it that she wasn’t cheating on him, because that’s what the old Kelvin would be thinking right now.They had spent th
That same night*Liliana dropped her bag in her room, before taking the nylon that contained the stuff that she has bought from the convenience store inside her bathroom.She's been calling Kelvin for the past five days and he's not picking up, he's avoiding her. For someone who claims that he's in love with his wife, but spends his night in her bed. That was truly an absurd way of explaining his love for her.But that wasn't the reason why she's been calling him, although she missed him and his touch. She was still trying to live with the fact that Kelvin is not her man.Yet, she still find herself trying to find a place to his heart. She took the pregnancy test that was inside the bag after washing her hands and went into the toilet.She should have been scared.After all, if she's truly pregnant by the man who she thought is the father, she might be making a huge mistake by trying to be a homewrecker.But this was a blessing.Kelvin has always wanted a child, something that his wi
“You are leaving.”Jessica breathed out when she came back to see that Diana’s stuff had been packed. She’s leaving and the sad part is that she didn’t tell her that it was today. She didn't made mention of it this early morning.But instead of a frown, a smile covered her face. She wasn’t Diana’s husband, and she’s not going to play the role of an unsupportive friend.“Kelvin will be here any time soon, I had to use the opportunity of being at home today to do the necessary.” Diana said, turning to face Jessica, after she was done checking if there’s anything that was forgetting behind.She doesn’t want to burden her friend anymore, although Jessica wasn’t seeing her being here with her as a burden. But it wasn’t right that she was staying here as a married woman.If there’s anything that Diana has learned so far in her stay here, is to set boundaries especially towards this new start of her relationship with Kelvin. She has stayed with Jessica after running for her life from an obse
“We have been way over this, Linda. I don't know why you still insist on bothering yourself even after seeing for yourself that what you are asking for is impossible, I can't switch you to replace Diana, no, It's not even in my hands to do that.”James said, losing his tie as he walked into his office with Editor Linda following behind, he just came out of a tedious conference that gave him a headache and what he didn't need was anyone adding to it.But Linda clearly was asking him for the impossible, seriously how could she think that he would go back to Cheng and request that Diana be replaced with her, when she saw with her two eyes that Xavier had made his choice.“She isn't going to secure that deal for us, James. Can't you see that this is like sending a kid, who doesn't know how to swim to a pool?” Editor Linda pressured further for the impossible.He sighed, looking at her with annoyance. “How sure are you that she isn't going to succeed? Just because you look down on her does
The sound of her calls forwarding for the fifth time made Marianna's fist to clench tightly in anger, Kelvin was seriously getting on her nerves. It's been days, more than days since he has last come to the company.All his interest was on chasing around that barren wife of his, that her mind was urging her to do something if she doesn't want to lose her son. It's already a shame to her family and to the name of her husband that Diana couldn't do what any woman can do, reproduce.That's why there's Liliana, yet Kelvin leaves such a treasure for some dirty slump he picked from the streets. She doesn't have any problem with what he does with her, but what she won't take is Kelvin playing with the family business.Maybe she should have just let him pursue his career as a doctor, No! There will be no one to take up the work that his father has left behind. Her daughter, Naomi, was not good news. All her interest was on the money, constantly coming into her account and not how the money wa
