RED"Emergency? Is she fooling me?" I whispered annoyed as I got into my car.FLASHBACK"Mrs. Buenavista is incredibly fortunate; she was gone for a short while and Mr. Buenavista was searching for her right away."While I was trying to figure out where Chelsea was, I overheard two conversations amongst others. I called an employee of the hotel staff and asked about my wife.She responded to me, "Umm, Your wife sir? She left half an hour ago, sir…”END OF FLASHBACKWhere exactly are you, Chelsea?While driving, I immediately took out my phone and called my secretary. Three rings and she instantly answered my call.I ordered my secretary, "Do an investigation on Mr. Lee... That's right, the musician... Don't leave any information out, and check everything."~Meanwhile, when Chelsea got home, she found Mr. Buenavista in the living room. She was surprised to see him waiting on the sofa but what makes her surprised more is how angry Red’s expression was. It was so obvious on his face.“O
"However, you will be held accountable for breaking the contract," Red said to Chelsea which makes her shiver.Chelsea was stunned by what she heard. Her body was stiff with nervousness and seemed to be sweating. Her lips started shaking, and she wanted to cry but her nervousness made her tears not form in her eyes."S-sorry..." she said, stuttering."I didn't mean... I didn’t mean to tell Kent about the contract..." she said, so scared about what will Red will do to her. "Wow, you just called him by his name. You just met that person, Chelsea. You even forgot about our rule not to tell anyone about the contract. What would you think he thinks about me right now? He is probably laughing at what I did! You should have to think about that first before opening your fucking mouth, woman! Don't embarrass me in the eyes of other people. We may be in a fake relationship but because of the contract, we are legally married. Keep that in mind. Don’t ruin my surname!" Red stated making Chelsea
The two of them looked at Chelsea's answer. Red narrowed his eyes as he looked at Chelsea's actions, but he eventually shook his head. "Sure, no problem…." Red agrees. Chelsea widened his eyes as he looked at Red. He just shook his head and smiled at Mr. Lee. "Great. It would be sad to watch it alone, "Mr. Lee said, and he started walking toward the entrance. Red looked at Chelsea as if he wanted to say something that he couldn't say. Chelsea frowned at what Red had done. When Red did not answer, Chelsea pulled him into the Araneta Coliseum. When they got to the entrance, Mr. Lee was still there and waiting for them. "Let's go?" Mr. Lee had asked the two of them. Red just nodded, while Chelsea's face was so blank you could hardly paint it. He was no longer comfortable with what the two strong men with him were doing. He knew that there was something wrong with those two, but he just didn't pay much attention to it. The couple came in first, followed by Mr. Lee. From the look on
CHELSEAI don't know what to do because I don't know what this man is on. But he is really nice tonight. I don't get it. I was surprised when he gave me his coat. I lied when I said I wasn't cold when I really am. Can you even imagine what this guy made me wear?A white dress made of thin material! Yes, something thin! Geez!Na na na naSo beautiful in whiteTonight~The last line of "Beautiful in White" before the song ends. Still, my heart beats so fast. I don't know why they were racing earlier, but I really hope that when I get married, that song will be playing as I walk toward the altar. We had all been waiting for months for that dream to come true, but when my sister and fiancé lied to me, they ruined all the long-term plans.Is it true that everything is just a dream? When will I meet the right man for me? If God really does control everything, I have no choice but to wait for the best plan for me.…When the show was over, all three of them left together. Red and Kent's face
CHELSEA I was suddenly awakened from a deep sleep by the rays of the sun touching my face. I immediately looked for my phone to check the time. It took me a while to find it because it fell under my bed. It's 8:24 am; it's too early. I went straight downstairs and noticed that Redemon’s office door was slightly open. I stopped walking to look at it, but no one was there. Maybe there was an early meeting, so he left. Before I left, I closed the door of his office and continued downstairs. "Good morning, Manang!" I said happily to Manang Fe. One of the maids here in the mansion. "Good morning to you too, ma'am!" she also said in a friendly greeting. I just smiled and went straight to the kitchen. I was surprised when I entered to see Redemon drinking coffee while busy reading the newspaper he was holding. I guess he noticed my arrival because he looked at me. "Mr. Buenavista, why are you still here? Don't you have work today?" I asked. "I did; I was just waiting for you to wake u
A very strong slap touched Maxine’s cheek. Due to the force of its impact on her face, it seemed to be numb, and only a shrill sound continued in her ears. She stood up and stopped her tears from falling. When she raised her eyes, Chelsea’s glaring eyes met hers. It is full of anger and hatred towards the half-sister.In so much shock, Mrs. Garcia shouted and immediately ran toward Maxine. "What do you think you're doing?!" After helping her daughter, she even tried to slap Chelsea in return, but she was stunned by the words she uttered."Go ahead and try it, so everyone knows how desperate a woman the two of you are," she told her stepmother solemnly.When Maxine felt the itchy pain on her cheek, she touched it and suddenly laughed so hard that anyone might think she was losing her mind."Say it! Spread the word; that's what you're good at, right? Destroying everything I have? Always be you; always be the hero! You're so selfish, Chelsea. I'm your sister but you treat me like that?"
"Choose now," Red said as he opened the bottle of water and drank it."M-me? But you're the one who played it..." Chelsea asked, still shy."I did that for you; go ahead and choose," Red remarked.Because of her shyness, Chelsea slowly approached the extreme shot. The staff greeted her with a smile."What prize do you want, ma'am?" She looked around at the hanging prizes and came to a halt in front of a large stitched stuffed toy. She was still hesitant to speak when Red suddenly appeared by her side."You want that?" pointed to the hanging stitch."Can I choose that? Maybe it's because it's not part of the prize, because it's too big compared to the others..." Chelsea whispered worriedly to Red."Does the prize include the life size stitch?" Red asked the waiting staff."Uh, yes, sir! You can choose everything that's hanging there. Is that what ma'am wants? Well, you're very lucky because that's the last life-size left! Shall I get it?" he asked while taking out a crowbar."Yes, ple
CHELSEAI can not move. I wanted to push him with all my strength, but it was as if my own body was holding me back. The rhythm makes me feel sick. Until I realized I was agreeing with it. I kissed him back the same way he was kissing me. We seem to savor each other at a very slow pace. I was immediately surprised when he suddenly inserted his tongue. He keeps on kissing and partially sucking my lips. So this is how a french kiss feels like…I had lost sight of my main goal, which was to see the breathtaking view from the top. I don't know, but there's a part of me that likes what's going on. We were suddenly separated from each other when we heard the voice of the staff; we were close to the bottom. I immediately averted my eyes because of the shame I felt."Did you enjoy the view at the top?" asked the smiling staff who was supporting me when I went down. I went down first because I felt like I was going to be swallowed up by shame inside."Uh, yes, it's so beautiful..." I smiled a
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
