Red quietly made his way to the bar that his secretary told him. According to her, they have received information from their private investigator that Chelsea was seen with Angel Callie Martinez.***FLASHBACK***While Red was busy with what he was doing, Ms. Dein entered his office. He stopped what he was doing and immediately looked at her and noticed her haste as if she wanted to tell him something."Sir! We found her!" Red suddenly stood up, "Where? How is she doing? Is she okay?" he said as he hurriedly arranged his things."He is now living with his best friend Angel Callie Martinez. He is the daughter of Jessica and Rodrigo Martinez who are famous as one of the successful entrepreneurs in the Philippines. She’s from the states and has just returned to the Philippines for some private reason that has not yet known. We got information that the condominium where Ms. Martinez is staying is located in Muntinlupa and these are the photos we got from the CCTV of the condominium where
CHELSEAA clinking spoon and plate woke me up from my deep sleep. I didn't open my eyes because I was still very sleepy and I feel the heaviness in my whole body. I start to feel my head ache. I kept closing my eyes and felt my surroundings. I can hear people talking.Wait.Where am I?Where did I went last night and why is my whole body in such pain, especially my head?"Shit!" I thought about it when I remembered that Angel and I had a drink last night. A sudden image of a man entered my mind. He took me to the parking lot and we got into his car. When I entered, the memories of what happened last night suddenly appeared in my mind. I immediately woke up with those memories. WTF? Why did I do that? Did that really happened? Maybe I'm just dreaming! I slapped my cheek one after another when suddenly someone grabbed my hand and stopped me from what I was doing."What are you doing?" Just by the timbre of his voice, it was obvious that he was worried about me. But why does his voic
Quietly sitting in the garden, Chelsea watched as the two housemaids kept an eye on her. They had been following her all day, as if she were a prisoner with two police officers tailing her. She couldn't do what she wanted, such as leaving the mansion, because according to them, Red had strictly forbidden it.ChelseaWhat kind of life is this? I've been in the garden for a while now, and I've done almost everything I can to pass the time. Now I'm entertaining myself by designing what I'm going to show Kent at his upcoming music concert in the Philippines. I've managed to make some sketches, but I don't know if he'll like them. I slightly tilted my head to look at the two housemaids who were keeping an eye on me. They seem busy gossiping, so I stealthily picked up a piece of paper and stood up slowly. I planned to pretend to throw away the trash, and if they didn't notice me, I would run out of the mansion. They didn't notice me standing up, so I took the opportunity and walked away. Al
Chelsea's POV I didn't expect him to return my hug. I'm now trapped in his arms. I feel his firm body because of how tightly he's hugging me. It's like I feel he's been missing me since I left. Am I the only one thinking that? I don't know but that's how I feel with the hug he's giving me. "I miss you..." he said with a quiver in his voice that made my hair stand on end. I just smiled and pressed my face against his chest. I want to make the most of this time. Even if he can't tell me his true feelings... During these hours, it's like I know the answer to the questions running through my mind. I willingly broke the hug after a few minutes. Someone might see us. I faced him and his eyes were just staring at me like he's very happy that I'm with him again. Am I just feeling things again? I don't know but that's what I see in his glances. "Did you already have dinner?" I asked him to break the previous silence. He just smiled, "I hurried home to be with you." he said. I couldn't hel
CHELSEAI woke up from my peaceful sleep feeling someone pulling my hair. He gently moved the hair away from my face. When I opened my eyes, I saw Red's naked body in front of me. My eyes widened in surprise and I immediately sat up in shock. That's when I realized that I was also naked. I just wanted to disappear into the ground at this moment."Good morning." he chuckled at me. I didn't know if he was teasing me because he stood up without even trying to cover his lower half. I quickly looked away and stared out the window instead."P-put some clothes on!" I shouted at him. I heard him softly laughing. What's so funny? Aren't he embarrassed by what he's doing? If he were standing there comfortably, it would be as if the two of us were completely comfortable seeing each other's bodies."What's wrong? You saw this last night." he said, which only made my face redder. I could feel the heat in my cheeks. "E-even so! Go get dressed in the bathroom!" My nose was almost smoking from the e
Maxine and Sofia agreed to meet at a coffee shop near Sofia's condo. Maxine has been nagging Sofia about this for a while, but Sofia has consistently rejected her. This is because Sofia has a lot to do and does not trust Maxine. She knows that Maxine is Chelsea's sister. Sofia only agreed to meet Maxine today because Maxine insisted on meeting. Maxine had no choice but to meet with Sofia because no matter how hard she tried to avoid it, Sofia really pestered her.Maxine was quietly waiting for Sofia's arrival. She arrived early so that she could talk to Sofia. Soon, Sofia arrived and immediately recognized Maxine because of the way she looked at her. When Sofia approached her, she sat down in front of Maxine and the waiter approached them. "A cup of Blue Mountain with milk, please," Sofia said to the waiter.The waiter nodded and left to get Sofia's order. Sofia looked at Maxine, who was smiling from ear to ear even though they hadn't talked about anything yet. "Ms. Maxine Deine Garci
CHELSEAI'm here in Angel's car now. She’s driving me home to the mansion. We just finished shopping for the necessary art materials for designing Kent's outfits for his concert. We also just finished eating lunch at a restaurant. We had planned to eat at the mansion so that Angel could try Manang Fe's cooking, but we couldn't bear the hunger anymore."At least Red allows you to go out, beshy." Angel said while still looking at the road. "He doesn't need to control me. I don't have any plans to leave. Especially now that we're getting along better." I defend myself."Wow! Don't get your hopes up too high... You might just stay where you are, and he doesn't have any plans to level up your relationship. You should clarify what you are to each other before you hope for that person." Angel added.I immediately thought about what she said. I mean, Red hasn't clarified to me what we are yet. But he said "I love you" to me. Does that mean he loves me? He wouldn't say that if it didn't mean
CHELSEAIt's been two days since Redemon left the mansion for his supposed business trip. I don't know if I just miss him or if I'm not used to not seeing or being with him because, ever since he left, I've lost my appetite. I have to be forced to be taken to my room by Manang Fe just to eat. I also often stay up late because no matter how hard I try to sleep, my mind seems to be too busy and I have a lot on my mind, so in the end I end up staring at the ceiling while lying on my bed all night. My days aren't very productive anymore... It's a good thing my best friend, Angel, comes to my rescue. He always visits me here at the mansion and helps me with the designs I'm working on.RingingI was interrupted by what I was doing when my phone suddenly rang. I looked for it and when I picked it up, Redemon's name appeared. I thought he was busy on his business trip. Busy but he still has time to request a video call from me? He must miss me. I lay down and fixed myself up before answering.
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
