last update Last Updated: 2023-04-07 09:25:34

Days passed and the day came when Red's father needed to be buried. Red wanted his father to be cremated, which Mrs. Buenavista did not object to. Red also wanted his father's remains to be placed in the mansion, as it was where his father grew up, so it was only appropriate to put it there. They had a spot made for Mr. Buenavista's ashes, and a huge portrait of him was placed behind it.

After the priest finished praying for Red's father, he stood in front of him without moving or sitting down. I approached him and held his shoulder before giving him a tight hug. I knew that in moments like this, he needed hugs from me.

"Are you okay, Love?" I whispered in his ear.

He smiled, but I could still see the sadness in his eyes. He nodded and hugged me again, and it seemed like he hugged me for more than five minutes before letting go. "Wanna go home?" He asked me.

To be honest, I wanted to go home a while ago, but because Red didn't seem to want to leave yet, I didn't bring it up. I could s

    "My sibling, Love. How will I find my sibling now that Dad is gone?""What? Oh my God! I completely forgot about that…" I immediately sat up and Red released his embrace on me.I paced back and forth in front of our bed, thinking about this very serious matter. How could I forget that her father secretly kept the whereabouts of her sibling to keep them away from their demon of a mother..."That's why you've been acting like this," I said without looking at him while I walked."How will I find her? I've tried so many times to look for her, but I always fail. I don't know how far away the place where Dalia was hidden is," Red said with a worried tone.I looked at him and it was evident on his face that he really needed to take care of himself first. "Love, I know this is a huge problem, but if you want to find your sibling, you need to prioritize taking care of yourself first. Look at you, you look like a corpse. Do you want to follow in your dad's footsteps?" I asked him.He fell silen

    "I want you to give me everything that you know about his sister, Dalia," I asked Miss Dein. She became silent for a moment, as if surprised by the sudden mention of Dalia's name, Red's missing sister."Ma'am, may I know what you will use the information for? Did Sir instruct this?" she asked me back."I just need to do something... Alright, here's the thing, Red wants to find where his father is hiding his sister and I want to help him with that," I answered her question."Sir is looking for Dalia? That's why he asked for a private investigator's number from me last night... I will send it to you once I have gathered all the information. I will try to give it to you before the day ends," she said."Great, I will send you my email. You take care of it, okay? Thank you, Miss Dein!" I thanked her before ending the call.I sat up in bed as Red suddenly entered our room. "You're awake, Manang Fe is calling us downstairs for breakfast," he said, walking towards me. As he approached, he pul

    Chelsea"She's Dalia Buenavista, the youngest sibling of Red and as of now, no one knows where she is. She is Mr. Buenavista's child with his second wife, which is why Madam Buenavista despises the child and even wanted to kill her. Because of the brutal things Madam Buenavista did to the child, Mr. Buenavista decided to hide his daughter from his wife's sight to spare the innocent child from any harm," I told them what I know about Dalia."So you're telling me right now that Mr. Buenavista had an affair and this is the result?!" My Mom asked me in shock. Her eyes widened in surprise at what she just heard. "That guy has an affair... Wow, my child, what you're saying is so nerve-wracking! I never expected that a Buenavista could do that, I thought he was loyal to his wife," she added.She suddenly stood up as her friend, whom she was talking about earlier, arrived. My mom excused herself and promised to help me in any way she can to find Red's missing sister.It's been a few days sinc

    Meanwhile, when Mrs. Buenavista found out about their company's sudden downfall, she felt a chill run down her spine and her eyes widened. She immediately called her lawyer to confirm the news, and her jaw dropped when she found out that the news was true."No, this can't be true. This can't happen!" Mrs. Buenavista exclaimed in fear."Nanny! Prepare the car, I'm going to my child's house!" She shouted to her maid, who quickly followed her orders and ran to get the car ready.As for Chelsea, various side comments are circulating on social media about the gradual decline of Red's company. I talked to him about it, but it seems like he doesn't care whether their company falls or not and just lets it be. He always says that Miss Dein can handle it, but from what I see, it seems like Miss Dein can't handle it alone. She needs Red's help, but what if he's too invested in what he's doing?After half an hour, someone suddenly rang the doorbell at the gate. I got irritated because they kept r

    ChelseaAs soon as I sat down, I couldn't help but admire her. She really looks like her brother, "So... What important thing do you want to tell me?" I began our conversation."Before that, I want to know why you're looking for me. I've seen you with my brother for a long time, but only now have you shown an interest in me," she asked and took her ordered ice coffee and drank it."Because of your brother... He's been looking for you for a long time, Dalia. He's going through a difficult time, especially since your father passed away, he needs you..." I tried to convince her.She looked down at the table as if deep in thought and then sighed, "I know... I know my brother is looking for me and I know how hard everything is for him right now, but what you want to happen can't happen yet...""How can it not happen yet? What else are you waiting for? You're here in front of me and you can meet with me, but not with your brother? What's the problem?" I asked her a series of questions."You

Look at Ate Sofia, she's been pursuing Kuya since they were kids but she never had a chance with him, not even a puppy love. 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..." Dalia said."I don't know where to begin but... this is what happened,"—Flashback—"You're such an animal, Mark..." I slurred, drinking beer. 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!

    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.

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!

    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

They give me places to check, but they still need to confirm if Red is really there.While searching for Red, I am also slowly introducing my products in the Philippines. 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. I am doing my best to take down all the fake news they spread, but with their volume, it's getting harder to take them down one by one. I have already spent a lot on this."Ma'am, are we still going to the next place you will check?" Jake asked me. I am planning to check a villa that Red reportedly lived in before, hoping he is still staying there.Ringing * Ringing * RingingI immediately look
