Two days had passed and it was only then that Red had a relaxed schedule. In the past few days, he had been busy with the pile of work in the company and attending meetings for their new investors in the company. Red had just finished signing the last batch of documents brought to his desk by Miss Dein. He stood up and stretched. He took his phone from his pocket and looked at the time, "Right on time," Red muttered when he saw that it was almost lunchtime.

He tidied up his cluttered desk and put on his coat that was hanging on the back of his chair. Red walked towards the elevator when he suddenly bumped into Miss Dein. "Oh sir, are you going home?" Miss Dein asked Red in surprise.

"Yes... by the way, don't bother bringing me lunch anymore. I promised Manang Fe that I would have lunch at home. I don't have any schedule in the afternoon, right?" Red asked back.

Miss Dein quickly grabbed her iPad and checked Red's schedule. "Hmm... None, sir," Miss Dein replied with a shrug.

Finally, for even just one day, she was able to forget about Red and didn't think about him.As they entered Angel's house, the three house helpers welcomed them calmly. "Welcome back, milady," they greeted. They took the two's shopping bags and brought them to their respective rooms."My babies! So… how's your day? Did you enjoy yourselves?" Mrs. Martinez happily greeted them.The two quickly approached Mrs. Martinez and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Hi mommy! I didn't know that there was a new restaurant open near Central. The food there is really delicious, we should try it next time with daddy!" Angel happily said."Really? I didn't know since your daddy and I don't really go out. So, how's Chelsea? Have you memorized the place already?" Mrs. Martinez asked Chelsea. She nodded and smiled at Mrs. Martinez as a response."Have you eaten yet?

    ChelseaI don't know how long I've been staring at the email he sent. I'm hesitant to open it because it might just be another circle of lies. I took a deep breath before deciding to play it.Distorted Sound"Chelsea and I agreed to have dinner together when she comes home. So, I cooked because I thought she deserves to have something to look forward to. When I finished preparing the meal, I sat down in the living room and drank the wine I had. It was just one fucking glass, but then suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my head and I got sleepy, so I decided to go upstairs to rest. And that's it. I don't remember anything else, I just woke up soaking wet and Chelsea said I was kissing our maid. That's when I saw Maris, our maid, she's naked. I'm not wearing any clothes either. Chelsea was furious and she wouldn't listen to me. I understand her naman...""No hijo, it's Chelsea's fault why you separated. Why didn't she even listen to you?

    When Chelsea answered, she slowly moved her phone away from her ear and placed it on the table. She picked up her wine glass and took a sip, inhaling deeply and calming herself down.After five minutes, she picked up her phone again and placed it against her ear. "Are you still there?" Chelsea's voice remained expressionless.Red's swallow was audible on the other end of the line before he answered, "I'm still here… Can we… Can we talk?" Red asked."I called you because I really wanted to talk to you." Chelsea replied.A smile appeared on Red's lips as he stepped out of his room and into the pool area of his house. "I don't know where to start actually.""That's fine, I just called to tell you that I received what you sent me and I listened to it." Chelsea said. She poured more wine into her glass and took another sip. There was nothing but silence on Red's end of the line."I listened to everything and based on what I heard, I can say that you're innocent and that you were set up." C

    Red sat alone on the floor, lost in thought. Because of the noise he made, Manang Fe quickly woke up and searched for where the screams and sobs were coming from."Oh my goodness! Is this house haunted? Who could be making such noise at this time of night?" said Manang Fe as she put on her shawl.When she left her room, she headed to the light switch and turned it on. "No one's here..." said Manang Fe in surprise as she peeked outside to see if there was anyone there, but she didn't see anyone. Shortly after, she heard a faint noise at the back of the house, so she quickly grabbed a broom to use as a weapon against whoever was there."Oh my God, please protect me from this thief who might have a weapon," Manang Fe whispered a prayer as she cautiously looked out into the garden. Darkness greeted Manang Fe and only the moon's light served as her guide. When she reached the pool area, she noticed a man lying on the floor as if he had fainted.Manang Fe quickly approached the man, and upo

    The sun is about to rise but Red is still not sleeping. He's just staring at his phone and sometimes staring off into space. Every time his phone notification rings, he quickly checks it, but he has been disappointed several times. He tried to calm himself down and took a bottled water from their mini fridge in his room and drank it to freshen up a bit.For the eighth time, his phone rang again. He immediately checked it and he breathed a sigh of relief because what he had been waiting for had finally arrived. He opened the files sent by his secretary. They contained the wealth, properties, businesses, and other assets of the Martinez family. Red smiled when he saw a folder containing photos of Chelsea with the Martinez family. "Sydney, Australia..." Red whispered as he read the address written in the document.He paused when he saw a file stating that Chelsea is already a Martinez. It was stated there that the Martinez couple is working on getting custody of Chelsea. "How did she bec

    "Just continue observing those two and we might find out information that we don't know yet," Red ordered his secretary, who nodded in response.Their journey to the airport was quick due to the fast-flowing traffic. As soon as they arrived at the airport, the two pilots who would be flying them greeted them. Behind them were the two cabin crews who would accompany them on their flight."Welcome aboard, Mr. Buenavista!" they cheerfully greeted him.Upon arriving in Australia, dark circles under Red's eyes could be seen. After more than eight hours of travel, Red wasn't able to sleep or rest even for a short while.He was focused on his laptop all night, and when he stopped, his phone became his source of relaxation. Miss Dein watched her boss in amazement, as if she was watching a live suicide."Sir, would you like to get a hotel room first to rest?" Miss Dein asked with concern, but Red didn't even acknowledge her.Red was lost in thought, as if he was in a deep trance. "Sir?" Miss D

    A commotion is happening at the Martinez's house. They are trying to stop Red from taking Chelsea. "Mr. Buenavista, you surely know what you're doing. Leave before we call the police to forcefully remove you." Mrs. Martinez said to Red.Almost ten of Martinez's bodyguards are blocking Red from entering their territory. It's as if Red doesn't hear anything and still pushing through the blockers. It seems like his mind is closed to whatever others are saying and all he wants is to get Chelsea.Red looked back at Chelsea and noticed that she's also looking at him. Their eyes met and it was visible in Chelsea's eyes that she's feeling sadness, pity, and mixed emotions because of what she's seeing.After a while, Angel, Chelsea's friend, pulled her into her room. Before entering, Chelsea tried to plead to let her watch what's happening, but her friend didn't listen and just continued pulling her inside.It's like a strange force pushed Red to push harder against the men blocking him.

    CHELSEA"What are you looking at?" Angel asked in surprise when she saw me staring off into space."Ah—nothing, let's go..." I replied and pulled her into the grocery store.As soon as we entered, I still couldn't take my eyes off the car I saw earlier. It looked exactly like the one Red used when he came to our house. I'm not sure if it was his though, as it's been a few days since that incident.Angel has been observing me since earlier, as if studying my movements. Maybe she's noticing something different about me today. I approached the shopping cart and took one. "Where should we go first?" I asked her with a smile.She looked at me for a few seconds, then suddenly shook her head and bowed down. After a while, she lifted her head and flashed a sweet smile. She rushed towards me and pushed the cart as if she was excited about what we were going to do.It's a good thing she seems to have stopped doubting me. As we went around and picked out items, I felt a strange sensation as if s

    Chelsea“The day has finally arrived. Two whole years with what feels like a lifetime's worth of the best memories. I used to believe that partnerships with this much love could only be found in the romantic movies that you always mock me for viewing. But here we are, a year later, and you have shown that you are wrong (despite your argument that rom-com gives me and the rest of the female population false hope — so I guess you have proven yourself wrong as well).I've never felt more at ease with anyone, mentally, physically, or emotionally. You are my refuge when I need it. You've given me so much over the last year, but what I value most about your love is the sense of security and reliance. You're my best friend, and I know you'll be there for me no matter what. Never let me face it alone.But you've also taught me how to be self-sufficient. This is something I will always treasure. Before you, I craved the attention of others and despised the prospect of ever being alone. But in

    ChelseaIt has been a month since I announced to everyone the formation of the big 3 companies. I still can't forget Red's reaction when he found out that I was one of the people who helped him bring his company back. He was so grateful to me. And now I can say that my plan was really right because we can now see the results of our partnership. Our companies have grown because of our collaboration and we have been individually recognized in different countries.We now have branches in different countries and I can really say that I am very grateful to my parents who helped me achieve all of this and of course to my mom who is in heaven and still guiding me.Today is the birthday of my beloved man in the whole world. Of course, I won't let his birthday be ordinary, so I really prepared for it. We blindfolded him so he wouldn't see what we prepared for him."We're here, you can open your eyes now." I whispered to him and helped him remove the blindfold from his eyes."Surprise!"As the

    ChelseaI just found out about what happened to Red's mom. I didn't know that so many people were victimized by her bad behavior. It's good that she's now in jail. Her attitude will never really improve and she'll just victimize more people.And since there's no longer anyone leading my problems, it's time to fix what's been broken. I flew to Manila with Red and had him stay in my hotel room for the meantime. The media is still on the lookout for him and something else might happen if they find Red. It's difficult nowadays because their surname is still a hot topic, and Red might get involved because of his mother's doings."You stay here for now. If you need anything, just give me a call and I'll come here immediately, okay?" I bid farewell to Red.He nodded and I quickly left the hotel. When I got in the car, my driver quickly drove us to a restaurant where I'll be meeting one of the investors in my company, Mr. Hwang. Mr. Hwang is one of Red's father's close friends. I only found o

I sadly said.We were already inside Manang Fe's house. Manang Fe still couldn't believe that I found their location now. Of course, I didn't say to whom I got the information from. I just said that I hired a private investigator to locate them."I was about to follow you to Australia, but the company started to decline. Although I was expecting the company to fall, I didn't expect it to happen this quickly. It was like I just closed my eyes and when I opened them again, everything was gone. When the company fell, there were many fake news being spread that the reason why the company fell was because we were experiencing guilt because of the employees we killed. We could never kill innocent people, but I have heard that there were some employees who committed suicide due to extreme stress." Red said."I'm so sorry, Love. I sh

That's why my secretary is so busy taking care of it. Jake is always following me wherever I go.These days, the media is still making noise about the issue and problems happening with the Buenavista family. It continues to appear in the news, and many rumors are spreading now, making stories about their family.

    ChelseaWhen I arrived here in Sydney, Australia, my mom and dad immediately started teaching me how to properly run the company that I now handle. For almost two weeks, I've been surrounded by books and teachers. I have no news from Red on what's happening with him. I don't even have time to call him because my mom and dad prohibit me from using my phone. They confiscated all my gadgets and only let me use them when I need them for my studies."Hi, sweety! Don't forget your next class. It is Marketing and your professor there is Mr. Jimson. He's one of the smartest people in the world of marketing and he's also a business partner of your dad, so he's the one we chose to teach you because in the world of business, you will really be involved in marketing.

    ChelseaAfter my conversation with Dalia, I kept my promise not to tell Red about what happened earlier. When I got home, Red was still busy with his work and didn't even question where I went. He seemed to be still in a daze and didn't even bother to ask me about my whereabouts. As time passed, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. It pained me to see the love of my life in such a state.Although I wanted to tell him that I saw Dalia and that she was doing well, my conscience stopped me from breaking the promise I made to Dalia. I tried talking to Red about what happened earlier, but he only said that it wasn't important and that it was just about his mother's constant nagging. I also asked him if he was okay, and although he said yes, I knew he was just hiding everything and trying to act strong.If only I could tell him now...It's already midnight, and Red is sleeping soundly in our room while I'm sitting by the pool with my feet in the water.

Everyone thought Kuya was gay but I know him, he just doesn't have time for those things. That's why when I found out he's married, I was really curious about you, Ate..."

I'm here now at the bar after breaking up with my animal of a boyfriend. I caught him kissing my sister Maxine. They're both shameless! They're so dirty-minded, perfect for each other."You think that when I leave you, I won't find anyone else and I'll end up an old maid?!"
