" I think it will be all for today, " I said, standing up. The members of my board nodded and left the conference room. I sighed with relief. Budget meetings were always long, but today, we managed to finish it in record time. I was buzzing with excitement as it was my and Mark's anniversary. Since all urgent matters were sorted, we had time to celebrate it properly. He was recently complaining about the time I was spending at work. I could understand it, but on the other hand, I did not want to disappoint my father. This place was like a child to him, and I promised to take good care of it. But today, I was done with my work. " Goodbye, Lucy," I offered a warm smile to our receptionist on my way to the taxi. " Goodbye, boss." She replied with a slight nod. I'm not too fond of cabs, but Mark asked me to borrow him my car since his car broke down not long ago. He was not working today, but I was sure he had planned something for us that required a trip. We have been together for three years, and I felt like the happiest woman in the world. Mark was handsome and charming, and we shared a similar sense of humour. I could often see how other women looked at him with jealousy, but Mark only focused on me. The ride to our apartment took me about ten minutes, and I felt growing excitement. I had a feeling that this evening would be very special to me. And Mark did not disappoint me. When I came home, I immediately noticed rose petals scattered around the floor and candles in every corner. It was so romantic that I could cry. I heard the running water, which meant Mark was taking a shower. ' Wouldn't it be nice to join him?' I thought to myself, placing my bag on the hanger in the hall. Since it was a tempting option, I quickly ran to our bedroom and undressed myself. I put on a bathrobe to cover my nudity. Call me a prude, I do not care. I approached the bathroom, and my hand froze on the knob when I heard moans coming from inside. Those noises took me by surprise. Was Mark helping himself with some inappropriate videos? That was not like him at all. Or maybe I was oblivious to that. I felt a little cheeky today, so I decided to catch him red-handed. It might be fun to watch him explain himself. I would never consider my man to be a naughty boy. With a wide grin, I turned the knob and pushed the door open. " Suprise!" I yelled with a giggle. And indeed, it was a surprise for the three of us. Mark froze in the middle of pumping the woman, whose breasts were pressed to the shower glass wall, now on full display. I could not see her face as it was covered with wet hair, but I recognised her voice the moment she squealed, covering herself. It was my stepsister! My fiance was fu*king my step-sister on our third anniversary. "Millie," he said in a shocked tone, as my presence here surprised him. " What are you doing here?" " It is my apartment. What is she doing here?" I hissed, pointing at Sandra, who hid behind Mark's back but glared at me with a smirk. " It is not what you think," Mark said, grabbing a towel to cover himself. " I think it is exactly what I am thinking," I replied coldly, leaving the bathroom. I could hear Sandra saying something, but I could not understand it. Not that I cared. I locked the door and grabbed my clothes to dress myself. I heard someone leaving the bathroom, and soon, Mark was banging at the door. " Millie, please let me in. Let me explain everything." When I was ready, I did as he asked, but just to push him away on my way out. I stopped only to grab my keys and bag. When I glanced back, I noticed Sandra standing at the bathroom door. She was still naked. The triumphal smile was dancing on her lips. I left the house before they could see my breakdown. When I finally reached my car, the hot tears rolled down my cheeks. This evening was supposed to be remarkable. And indeed it was. I have started my car, not sure, when I am supposed to go. The answer came almost immediately. My phone rang, and it was my best friend, Gabrielle. " How are the little doves?" She chirped as soon as I picked up the phone. " Can I stay at your place for a while? " I asked in a shaky voice. " Is it wine or whiskey?" " Whiskey," I replied immediately. That was Gabrielle. She did not ask any questions.Kyle Sebastian's POV:The house and lot title of this Hacienda is named after him, at last! I've been waiting for this day before doing anything at the Hacienda.Don Juan gave me this while we are eating our breakfast.“Now that the title was named after you, what is your next plan?” Don Juan asked me. As always, he’s reading his newspaper and sipping on his hot coffee here at the dining area.I am eating my usual breakfast. Ham, scrambled eggs, bread and one hot black coffee.“I want to impose some new rules. The old one seemed to be a little excessive. Some incentives were unnecessary for a commoner. No doubt that the Hacienda is not earning as much. They have lots of people to pay.” I answered in between meals.“How did you know all this? You still haven't got the Income Statements, right?” Don Juan asked in curiousity.“That was the rule ever since. And I bet they haven't changed a single thing.”“If that was the case, you do whatever you want with the Hacienda. How about Cassandra
Kyle Sebastian's POV: I am currently sitting in my swivel chair facing the glass window and looking at the buildings and infrastructure near us. It is a wonderful view here on the twentieth floor. Aside from the marvelous view outside, my thoughts are centered on the excitement of revenge. Any moment now, Cassandra will be here, walking in my lair and not knowing what she’s up against. Does she think that getting a job will solve her problems? If she’s working for another employer, maybe. But me being the boss? That won’t happen. I will give her the job she deserves. Three loud knocks from my office caught my attention. Then a fine young beautiful woman in her gray blouse and black miniskirt enters. Suzy, my secretary, is holding folders in her hand. “Yes, Suzy?” I asked her coldly. I turned my swivel chair to face her and placed my hands on my long mahogany table. She walked towards my table and hand me a copy of the folder she was holding. “A certain Cassandra Regaña is apply
Cassandra's POV:It’s past eight in the evening and I can't force myself to sleep. I am feeling homesick. I miss my old bedroom. I miss my soft comfortable bed and the peaceful feeling. I miss the people I am closed with, their smiles and kindness. The hacienda was indeed my place of refuge.Going back to reality, the house we are renting is forty-two square meters, a two-story house with two bedrooms, a typical unit.The living room on the first floor is nice, you’ll notice a flat-screen t.v., placed at the right part, a glass table in the center, a large couch on the right and two smaller couches on the left. There is a window that overlooked the neighborhood.The kitchen is on the left part of the house, and the stairs going up are also there. Behind it is the refrigerator, and the sink. The comfort room is in the corner.Up here on the second floor is the bedroom. One for me and my mom. Her bedroom is much bigger compared to mine, but that's fine with me.My current bed is small,
Cassandra's POV:It's fifteen minutes past two in the morning but I can't get myself to sleep. The discussion Mom and I talked last night made me uneasy.I can't believe that such things will happen to us. In just a snap, everything we owned was taken away from us. Mom told me everything. Dad is addicted to gambling. At first, Mom didn't mind it because she thought that it was just his past time. But as time goes by, his addiction became worst. Mom and Dad even fought about Dad's addiction without me knowing it.Dad did not listen to my Mom's rants. He still used all of our properties as a bet. Hoping that he'll win and gain back other properties he lost. But he lost over and over. In just a month, half of our assets were lost because of it. And now, this. We lost the hacienda just like that.Dad was nowhere to be found. Mom guessed that he was on a run because of his remaining debts. With that thought, I can't help but feel bad. I idolized him so much, p
Cassandra's PoV:"Good morning Ma'am" I heard one of the workers greet me while riding on Snow, my female dun horse. I just started to ride on her, reined it, and walked my horse towards the people working in the rice field."Good morning!" I greeted back with a smile before ordering Snow to move faster.I love riding with Snow especially early morning because I could get to explore the whole hacienda. Looking at our six-hectare rice field and diligent workers give me a sense of contentment.After hours of exploring every corner of the hacienda with Snow, I decided to go back.A few minutes past noon, the sun felt almost hot on my back and the air was deadly still. But I am still observing our people who are working diligently and currently harvesting rice grains. I don't know but I am amazed at how they handle the heat of the proud sun. Wearing their usual attire- sleeves, pants, boots, and a round hat, it looks like they don't care ab
