“You piece of trash I am talking to you!” Ann screams in fury at Cherry.
“Mind your business Annie, would ya.” A guy told Ann which abruptly shuts her up. He prevented the boiling receptionist from chasing after Cherry which made Cherry grateful to him.
The elevator ride to the thirteenth floor felt like a long journey through the desert, she waited impatiently for the elevator to reach the thirteenth floor, soon it reached Rex’s floor and opened slowly. Cherry wasted no time and dashed out running straight into Rex’s office without knocking. Thinking about seeing an injured Rex or a dying Rex she was surprised by what mistakenly appears in front of her eyes.
Rex just came out of his private closet “SHIRTLESS!” his fine abs standing out outside those casual clothes he always wears and his toned skin glowed beautifully like the sun. A drool nearly escaped Cherry’s lips as she digested his mouth-watering features. His back was turned to her so he didn’t know sh
Help support and share your thoughts with me. I'd like to hear what you think about Maria's decision to lure Cherry back.
“It worked!” Rex exclaimed in excitement. How did something so compromising end up being the best day of his life. “I am so speechless, I can’t believe it actually worked.” Rex blabbered in a weird way that puts Maria off. “I told you it would work, didn’t I? She is as soft as a pillow.” Maria spoke softly and helped herself with a bottle of yogurt from the freezer. “Fluffy as pancakes… just as I-” Rex wanted to praise Cherry’s beauty but Maria stopped him before he’d gone too far. “Enough- just enough, I don’t need to listen to the endearments reserved for Cherry. No hard feelings.” She says with an irritated look scrunching her face. Maria and Rex were at his first mansion eating pepperoni pizza after work. They decided to have a mini celebration at the mansion because Cherry listened to him and came back to work despite her, having a good chance to refuse and never look back. This hopefully will give Rex another shot to make up for his mistakes and
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eight hours later… “I hate that son of an effing bitch, so manipulative and controlling.” Cherry grumbles while angrily throwing her good clothes into a worn-out duffel bag. “He thinks he’s all mighty and great, but that son of a bitch has something else coming by the time I am done with him. How the heck did he get me into this mess?” She asks herself. Earlier that afternoon after the huge disagreement between them, Cherry refused to go home and prepare for the sudden trip to Honolulu but Rex already had other plans in mind if she tries to fight off, he even threatened to dress her himself and throw her into the plane if he needed to. Now it leaves Cherry hanging and slightly defeated because she thinks he won’t dare do it, regardless of her confidence she still ended up packing her bags. The last thing she wanted to experience is her perverted boss dressing her and fulfilling the wish he wanted. “You don’t need to carry those.
"Cherry baby.” Rex called from across the table separating them. His voice stimulated with softness and soul tendering words, but behind that sweet gentle airlifting voice that speaks, lies an animal prepared to take down its prey. This predator waits patiently to attack because it will trap the prey when it least expects. “Hmm?” Cherry hummed in reply and spun around to stare into the eyes of her handsome gorgeous boss. His great aura spikes excitement and interest in every girl that spots him in the crowd. Rex was dressed in a traditional Hawaiian flora shirt which was really odd for his appearance. Cherry thinks the floral shirt puts a weird gay personality in him, and because of his strong intimidating aura she believes he looked ridiculous and less of a man. “You look beautiful today.” He commented. “So I wasn’t beautiful yesterday?” Cherry challenges with pouted lips to buy some favor from him. All the anger and insecurities tormenting her for d
They were both welcomed at the bottom of the plane stairs by two women in traditional Hawaiian attire and flowers decorating their necks. “Aloha, welcome to Honolulu.” They greeted and Rex nods at them. Cherry was nervous to respond and followed Rex out of the airport staying quiet. To Cherry’s surprise, there was a fancy blue car waiting for them at a corner. They both got in and Rex filled himself with work and unnecessary phone calls, while Cherry was left to stare out the window. Soon the car slowed to a stop at a hotel and they got out with the help of a chauffeur. The exterior design of the hotel was splendid compared to the few hotels she has been to in So-Oh. “Wow! Everything here is so amazing!” She exclaimed as they made their way to the automatic doors. “That’s not all the amazing you are seeing, wait till you see the room.” Rex smirked seductively and walked to a lounge where Cherry will wait for him. “Wait here for me, I will be b
By the time Rex got inside the suite Cherry was still standing where she was left. Her eyes undoubtedly sank in the beauty of the room, for a second her focus was drifted from the luxury to Rex entering the room. She secretly observed the change in his demeanor, there was something wrong after he left the room and she was curious to know. "What happened? You look… not… happy?" Cherry nervously asks him but kept her distance. "It's nothing.” He replied but had a disturbed look crossing his face almost diverting his attention from the world. “Okay?” Cherry says while awkwardly standing beside him. “What do you want to eat?" Rex inquire and stood up to cook something for them. "Anything." Cherry shrugs and follows him. She sat on a stool and watched him get to work. This kind of moment was new and uncommon, it was something definitely worth watching because it may also be the last time it will ever happen. ‘my egoist boss in the kitch
Sitting on the Waikiki beach was refreshing as Rex promised her, it was truly a memory. After getting enough suntan on the beach Cherry stood up from the picnic mat a random stranger gifted her and walked to the only bar on the beach. There she met different people chilling and talking randomly, she decides to fetch some light snacks from the bar and hoped to contact Rex as soon as possible. Cherry recalled the hours before now when she waited patiently for Rex to return back to the suite which he didn’t, almost a day had passed and he was yet to show up. Cherry felt betrayed and abandoned, she felt like he did it on purpose to punish her for nothing. How inconsiderate for him to abandon her in a room she is unfamiliar with, and in a country she’s never been into. The loneliness she experienced that night was very depressing and traumatic due to her past life of living alone, fending, starving, and having nobody to lean on but it all changed when she started spending
A very pissed off Rex carried Cherry all the way from the Waikiki beach to the hotel by foot, without a care in the world and ignoring the stares of curious pedestrians and fans. His unnecessary rage was too much to compare, he merely pounced it on every living soul the passes him, including the plants decorating the reception, they all suffered his rage. Cherry felt the intense anger and crisis radiating from Rex, the aura grew strong as they advance to his suite but she couldn’t say a word to stop it, she was terrified to confront him in this stage when he isn’t listening or thinking. Cherry feared her words may anger him to an extent which she tries to prevent since yesterday. So as a good girl, she remains quietly relaxed in his arms to get lost in her own thoughts until they entered the suite. Rex stepped into the elevator supporting her back with his upper arm so he could punch the button to their floor after refusing and scaring a nice hotel worker that offere
A month after… A month has passed since their arrival to Hawaii and they were yet to do any work-related stuff, most of the time spent in the past few weeks was either on the beach or in the hotel watching movies. Cherry felt the need to confront him but got distracted by every movie he offered. What creeps her to the bones was Rex constantly shadowing her every place she goes except for bathroom breaks sometimes her bedroom which she was forced to lock because of him, so annoying. Just as Rex promised, her weekly payment keeps hitting her account but what was the need? She barely even left a hand to do anything and her bank account was flowing with money, not that she complained but it is just really useless and strange. Every day was the usual, bread and chocolate drinks for breakfast, movies at noon, and chaos dinner time. And a few times when he needed her skills he’ll only let her arrange some blank documents that didn’t need to
The day of the hearing…“December twentieth, we hold the case of kidnapping, attempted murder, blackmail, compromise, possession of illegal arms, and tampering with private property, charged in the name of Miss Susanna Tyler. Please may the accused stand on the witness stand.”A clerk reads her file as proposed by the court then sits back on her chair.“The hearing had been done and all the witness testimonies have been recorded… Miss Tyler…” The judge began.“Yes?” Susanna responds with a stiff attitude.“Do you agree with all that have been said in this court against you?” The judge asks.“I do know I am innocent and one day I will prove it!” She spoke defiantly.“Well, Miss Tyler, all the evidences points to you as the main suspect for all the crimes, and there are several witnesses to back up the evidences. Are you saying all these is a hoax to frame you?” The judge asked but Susanna refuses to answer. “For the last time Miss Tyler, do you plead innocent to all the accusation?”Su
~~~~~~Thanksgiving day…Rex, Maria, Gerald and the babies all went to spent thanksgiving at the hospital with Cherry. Even though she was still in coma and unable to communicate they didn’t want to leave her side, but Rex to be precise made everyone stay and celebrate the occasion with his sleeping girlfriend.“Hey baby, I know you can hear me in there. It’s thanksgiving and guess who I brought along!… It’s Mia, Gerald and Jerry.” He points at the trio stand at the foot of the bed.“Hey Cherry…I hope you miss us because we missed you.” Maria touches her foot lightly then shifts the baby in her arms.“Really, I wanted this day to be for us… so we can celebrate thanksgiving together but…” He drawls and takes her right hand. “Just get well for us, so we can finally be happy.”“She will…” Mia promised.They all stayed longer in the ward, talking and playing with the babies until evening. When it got late Jerry excused himself and Gerald announced his parting but offered to take Maria hom
November 28th two days to thanksgiving…Day two after the whole drama…Everything was back like in the old times, no more fights and yelling. Kayla had been arrested for conspiracy with a criminal and will stand trail when Susanna is ready to face court. According to Jason and his lawyer, the hearing will hold in a few days if Cherry is well enough to testify against Susanna.Rex and Maria spent more time in the new penthouse, with Rex working his ass off to make up for the lost time from work, and trying to spend some quality time with his daughters. All along, Maria had to make regularly visits to care for the babies because Rex had little trust with his staff alone with the girls. He comes into the nursery where Maria was just changing baby two diaper.“Hey…” She drawled.“I checked the kitchen but you weren’t there.” Rex told her.“Yes, I have to stay with them constantly because they are having constant diarrhea.” She reports in a stern voice.“What?” Rex moves to the babies quic
Fifteen minutes of arguing…Maria and Kayla were very lost in the word-to-word fight which had been going on for about fifteen minutes now, and with Jerry trying to separate them, nothing stopped the argument. It’s a miracle no one was trying to shoot another or knock themselves out.“QUIET!!!!!!!!!!!” Maria soon shouts angrily after having enough of the quarrel digested in her system. Everyone instantly went silent and Jerry stares at her in wonder. “We have been in this DAMN office for fifteen minutes and neither of you is ready to SHUT UP! I am sick of listening to meaningless screaming and quarrel! If you all can’t settle your differences like normal people, at least be mature to do it!” Maria expresses.“You know I didn’t want them here but you let them stay.” Rex points out to Maria.“Son, why are you referring to us as strangers?” Marcelo frowns at Rex.“You are been strangers since you and mom left!.” Rex snaps angrily.“Rex!- I’m sorry Sir Angelo, Rex is a little… confused an
At St.Angelo hospital…Cherry was immediately rushed to the ER for an urgent operation to stop the afterbirth bleeding which suddenly happened in the ambulance without any warning. Rex wasn’t allowed into the ER and didn’t fight his way inside. He let them take care of her knowing she in safe hands, and waited tensely in the hallway.Soon after he got a tip that Maria and the babies were in the hospital and being attended to. Rex waited hours for any news, even when the doctors passed in front of him, he tried asking what was happening behind the doors bu they only gave him more unanswered questions and worries.When it looks like his patience was running out and he threatens to force his way inside, Jerry comes out finally to deliver the news without a but or suspense in his words.“SO?…” Rex asked desperately.“The surgery was successful and she is stable.” Jerry announced to him and Rex instantly let out a relieved breath and sang praises under his breath. “But…” Jerry continued an
“Another one?” Maria and the others listening around all exclaim in shock.“Another baby?” Divine and her team also exclaim.Yep, no one was expecting to deliver two babies at the same time.Rex takes their daughter and lay her on the spare bed her set up, making sure she was properly secure before going back to Cherry. His heart pounds uncontrollable in his chest wondering if Cherry will be able to give birth to the other baby. He quickly grabs the radio to ask for help.“She’s having another what should I expect?.”“The same, it should be much easier since one baby has passed out-”“Okay! Maria,how far are you coming with the hatch?” He cuts Divine to speak with his sister.“Just a little more time and we are through. This things is like a freaking military tank! Our guy here is doing his best to cut through the door.”“Just hurry up please.”“We will.”Rex positions to deliver the second child and squeezed her knees to comfort her.“Cherry, I know you-”“This is your fault!” She sc
Outside the chaos ‘Maria’s point of view’…After getting the information of the possible location of the hatch, Maria, Gerald and some police officers go in search for it. Afternoon has passed and the fire burning the mansion is yet to be quenched, many local and international news have gathered to get a glimpse of the situation so they can create a juicy story to share with the public.While they divided themselves into groups in search of the hatch nobody have come up with anything yet.“Do you think we will be able to find this hatch?” Gerald ask Maria.“I don’t know but I put faith on what Rex said, and I h-” Her words were cut when she trips over something and falls unexpectedly to the ground. “Ouch!” She protests while rubbing her calf.“Maria! Are you alright?” Gerald bends low to check on her.“Yeah, I might have tripped over a tree root or something hard-” She frowns deeply and tries soothing the throbbing on her right leg.“Here, let me see…” Gerald takes her leg and removes
Inside the bunker.Rex and Cherry were safe from the danger of the poisonous smoke and burning of the fire but they can’t depend on staying in there forever so Rex tries to call Maria using his cellphone but there was no signal in the bunker. He wanted to let them know he was alright and Cherry was safe but the network was very poor and rigid. “Shit!” He cuss when he couldn’t reach anyone.Cherry’s groaning and small screams brought him back to focus, and he scoots down to her level and checked her body for burns or trauma. Her skin was clear and untouched from a single burn which relieved him.“Thank God you are safe.” He pulls her or a hug but she yells in his ear.“I think the baby is coming!”Rex cringes at the loudness but recovers to do the needful, its just both of them to deliver this baby but Cherry is counting on him to help her.“Hold on, let me prepare the bed.” He says and goes to get what is available to aid her delivery, during his search for some repellent bed sheets
Back at Maria’s apartment, eleven in the morning…Maria was having coffee and cookies in her living room when she decided to turn on the television to watch some movie. She scrolled through some channels until she came across a LIVE news broadcasting channel talking about a fire consuming a mansion. Maria didn’t think much about and scrolled past it but then again curiosity got the best of her and she channeled back to the tv station. She closely listened to the news and watched the footage shown by the police helicopter from above while enjoying her breakfast but then something catches her attention.‘the wall? Are those-’ her thoughts paused and she physically increased the volume. Maria got a little closer to the television and recognized the environment. Her heart sank in her stomach when she recognizes Rex’s massive mansion gates. Before she can have time to react to the loss her hone rang.“Hello?.” She places the phone in her ear.“Maria, are you seeing the news?” Jerry asked
