Maxine couldn't move from her position when she saw that her boyfriend Mark was in front of her. Mark Randel Chua is Chelsea's ex-boyfriend who was stolen by Maxine. His eyes were glaring with the anger that scared Maxine. She is still recoiling in fear."M-mark?! W-what are you doing here?!" Maxine asked shakily."Slut!" Mark yelled at Maxine's face while slapping her with great force.Maxine froze at the pain of the slap she received. [Don't tell me, did Red set this trap?] she asked herself in confusion.…FLASHBACK…Before Red could leave his office, he grabbed his phone.[Come to my company and go to the waiting room for an interesting show.]He then clicked the send button.…END OF FLASHBACK…"M-mark I can explain... Please let me explain..." Maxine insisted as Mark walked out."Explain what?! Isn't it clear what I watched, Maxine?!" He angrily scolded his girlfriend.Maxine was taken aback by his sudden rise in voice, which he had never done to her before. Mark had never hurt h
CHELSEAThe most beautiful woman in his life? Does this mean he's already in love with someone else?Who is he referring to? I’m quite sure it’s not Sofia. It seems like Red doesn’t like her. Does he have a girlfriend or is he dating? He didn't tell me anything about that. Argh! Why am I making this a problem? It might be Mrs. Buenavista, right? Hmm, maybe Mrs. Buenavista because she’s his mom."Your mom's gift?" I asked him while watching him play with Blaze."No.” He answered.If not Mrs. Buenavista, who is it? Is he really having a crush on another woman? Who is it? This feeling that makes me a fortune teller is annoying. But let's just say we're curious about who it is."Huh? Who else is the most beautiful woman in your life besides your mom?" I asked calmly."My sister..." Redemon answered with a touch of sadness in his voice.What? Does he have a sister? Why didn't I know that, I thought he was the only child of the Buenavista. "I'm sorry for asking so many questions, but where
"Mark?!" Chelsea asked the man who was holding her arm tightly. What is he doing here? "What are you doing here, and can you let me go?" a frustrated Chelsea added."Chelsea, I want to talk with you. Can you please give me a chance?" It was this pleading that immediately warmed Chelsea's blood. She moved his hand to get out of Mark's tight grip on her."Mark, the chance you asked me for has been rotting inside me for a long time since you cheated with my own sister... So can you stay away from me? You can't bring me to your mercy anymore! I have been in oblivion for a long time, whatever we had before!" Chelsea shouted. She wanted to leave, but Mark tried to block her."Please get out of the way! I said what I had to say, and I hope you understand that." But then Mark just wrapped his arms around his ex-fiancee, Chelsea. She wanted to slap him in the face to get revenge for the abuse done to her, but she didn't want to make a scene that would tarnish Red's image.This surprised Che
Chelsea came out of the bathroom with her eyes closed while wiping her hair. When she opened her eyes, she was surprised to see Red sitting on her sofa. She immediately went to the cabinet to pull out a dress. She didn't have the chance to choose what to wear. Even though she was wearing a bathrobe, it was still rare for Red to see her in this kind of situation.After getting dressed, she immediately approached Red, asking, "What time did you get home? I thought you had a meeting with the company?" Chelsea asked in surprise.Red stared at her so evilly that it immediately scared her. "Come here," he ordered Chelsea. Chelsea froze in place because of the nervousness she was feeling. It was as if a bad wind had blown over Red."I said come; don't make me repeat myself." He said this seriously, which worried Chelsea, so she immediately came to the sofa. She was about to ask what was wrong when Red grabbed her and pushed her to the bed.With the force of Red's pushing, he did not stand u
When Red left, Chelsea immediately thought of a way to make up for him. She immediately thought of cooking for him, but she didn't know what to cook, and maybe he wouldn't like her cooking. She went to the living room to think of something easy to cook that Red would like when she saw all the maids busy. It looks like there is general cleaning going on in the mansion."Put it over there... and why is it still here?... Hurry up, we don't have all day to clean the mansion... Have the stairs been cleaned?... Well, check on you... You two, help me clean the upstairs..." Manang Fe said.Manang Fe is considered the head of the maids in the Buenavistas' mansion. Aside from being the oldest, she is also the one the Buenavistas most trust."Manang, take it easy," Chelsea said when she saw Manang Fe screaming."Good morning to you! I'm sorry for the noise. I'm rushing these things because we still have a lot to do," Manang Fe said while wiping the window."Is that so? Alright, let me help you
"Tell Ms. Jones to come here." Ms. Dein immediately followed and looked for the department she was in. When she discovered it, she noticed that she was fixing her things while still in tears and that she appeared to be about to leave."You're Ms. Vera Jones, right?" Ms. Dein asked.Vera looked at her in wonder and nodded while wiping her tears."The CEO wants you in his office," she told Ms. Jones before she left because she still had a lot to attend to.People immediately started gossiping when they heard that Vera was being summoned to the CEO's office."The CEO didn't seem to like Vera's actions.""Tsk. She really had the guts to talk back with Mr. Buenavista’s wife.""Deserve!"She heard that a lot of employees were badmouthing her. She just bowed in shame and immediately went out to go to the office of Mr. Buenavista. When she got to the front of the office, she had second thoughts about opening it. What if she got punished because of what she said earlier? She has no idea what a
CHELSEAIt's a beautiful day today. The sky is clear, the sun is not that hot, and another thing is that the touch of the wind on my skin is very cold. Here I am now in the living room, arranging the flowers I picked from the garden earlier. I couldn't do anything else, so I thought that was the only thing to do.As I was getting ready, I noticed someone approaching me, so I immediately looked at them. What are they doing here? Didn't they leave the mansion? What is the scene between these two? I hope they will not pester me anymore. I don't have time to deal with them."Mother, Sofia, you're back." I can see the immediate change in their facial expression. It went from being calm to being agitated. "Stop calling me mother! You are nothing to become my daughter, and you should be ashamed of yourself," she snarled.Here we go again. Redemon's mom is always really mad at me. That's why I don't want to be left here in the mansion with her because she might suddenly have a heart attack o
CHELSEAThe loud sound of the phone woke me up from my deep sleep. I looked at the clock and saw that it was 9 p.m. I forgot to eat dinner when I got home earlier. After Mark bothered me, my best friend Angel suddenly called. She invited me to meet her because she had just returned from the States. We talked for a long time; that's why I got home late to the mansion.I immediately got up from my bed and reached for the phone. Who would call at this time? "Hello?" I answered.I only heard a deafening silence on the other line. Is this a prank? If it's a prank, I'm not in the mood for it. "Hello?" I repeated myself, but still, no one answered."Whoever you are... I'll take it down if you don't say anything," I said before hanging up, but I heard a sob from the other line that made me stop to hang up.I listened to it carefully. It still sobs, and because of the shrillness of its sobs, it appears to be a woman.[.....Sister....] she said on the other line.Maxine? Did I hear correctly?
ChelseaRed sang, "Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know, She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home, I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets, To carry love, to carry children of our own, We are still kids, but we're so in love, Fighting against all odds, I know we'll be alright this time, Darling, just hold my hand, Be my girl, I'll be your man, I see my future in your eyes."Red said, "It is a song made by Ed Sheeran and I want to use this song to let the woman I love know that I only want to be with her through thick and thin. I know we've been through a lot, but look at us now, we're already fulfilling the things we've been dreaming of. I don't want to waste another year without you in my life. You deserve the world and all the good things it has to offer. If I fail to find that world for you, I promise to give you mine! Chelsea Leigh Martinez, will you marry me, for real?" he asked me and suddenly kneeled in front of me. He took out a box
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
Chelsea"Why can't I reach you anymore? I've tried calling you several times, but none of your social media accounts or even your phone number can be reached..." 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
ChelseaSecond day of my search for Red. I have already hired more than five private investigators just to find him. 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
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. You can never escape that." My mom said with a smile.Argh! I just finished a three-hour lesson in Economics, and there's already another subject..."But, mom... Can't I rest for at least half an hour? I just finished my Economics cl
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. The cold water helps me calm my min
Chelsea"How did you and Kuya Red meet, Ate? You know, Kuya Red isn't interested in girls and he's very aloof towards them. 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! 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?!" I shouted, racing to catch the tears falling from my eyes.I noticed people were looking at me but I didn't care about what they thought of me. I slammed my gla
