Juanita jogged happily to her parents seeing the love, warmth, and longing in her mother’s eyes. She had missed the woman so much and it felt good seeing her after not being home for a long time.
“I am home, mother!” Juanita excitedly announced as her mother’s warm embrace enveloped her.
“My baby is back, let momma look at you,” Pearle excitedly spoke as she looked at her daughter to see if she was in a good condition.
Juanita giggled happily and let her mother look at her all she wanted, after a minute or so, Pearle finally stopped and took the suitcase from Juanita.
“Mother, I can carry it. You don’t have to,” she tried to dissuade her mother but the old woman shook her head in rejection.
“I am still strong, let mommy do this for you. Come along, your daddy should be on edge by now,” Pearle laughed as she looked
Juanita looked at her dad’s worried face and sighed, she didn’t want anything bad happening to her parents or watching them getting depressed especially when she was the root of all the problems.“Dad, I will be here for like a week or two. I resigned from my previous workplace and will be going to Zlila for something better,” knowing her parents well, she doubted if she could hide from them any longer so it was better for her to come out clean from the word go.Randall wasn’t surprised much but Pearle who was done washing the plates, yelled in surprise, “darling, why did you resign?”Juan looked at her mother in a defeated manner, “it wasn’t working well there so I decided to leave and look for greener pastures somewhere else.”Pearle looked at her daughter and felt her heartache for her, “were they bullying you?”Juan ch
“Mom and dad, I know that you mean well for me and you want the best for me but you need to know that as long as you are tiring yourselves, working so hard to pay off the debts that were incurred around six years ago for me; I feel so sad and it really hurts a lot,” Juan looked at her parents as tears streamed down her cheeks.Pearle and Randall held each other’s hands as their hearts raced as they listened to their child airing out her grievances to them.“I have been like this for six years, I lost so many things and have been looked upon so many times that I got tired of it. All I wanted was to be normal again, to be able to take a photo and smile brightly. I also want to walk out there proudly without being looked at like a clown but the reality is just scary. We can’t afford the money, I have saved for six years, and yet it isn’t even a tenth of the money needed, and by now the money should have risen
Juan had no idea that a rich tycoon had set her eyes on her store as she was busy doing some chores at home. She even cooked this rice and some vegetables and went to see her parents.She had not cooked for them for ages, so she wanted them to have some food that they have not cooked while working.When Pearle and Randall saw their daughter, they were all smiles. They were surprised to see her holding packed lunches but they felt warm in their hearts.They cooked for a living but receiving packed lunches from their daughter really made their day. Those that were waiting for their food couldn’t help but look at this scene in a bewildered manner.Why would anyone bring food to a food stall? But the parties involved didn’t even care about any of them.Juanita then returned home after that. As she was chilling in the living room watching T.V she decided to check her store inbox and see
Juanita spent a great time with her parents, helping them with their work and selling her rice online. The business was not that good as in one week she managed to sell only three bags of rice including the one she sold to the first customer.She wasn’t worried much as she was full of confidence that one day, she will be selling her products like crazy. During this time, she had been thinking hard about telling her parents about her farm.She didn’t want them to worry about her much so she decided to tell them before she leaves and also give them some of the products as she couldn’t keep on making excuses daily.Two days before her departure, Juan was in her room looking at the juicy tomato in her hands. She had been planting tomatoes and rice interchangeably ever since she leveled up.And now she had enough of the two, she even sold some of them and bought some other seeds to plant
Juan managed to get some rare plants from the nearby hills and placed them on the farm, there were many notifications but she still didn’t level up but that didn’t matter.She had just received the farm and there was no way she could level up all the time. There was nothing that easy in life, so she was prepared to suffer a bit before she receives the ending, she needed.Her father was just so super, he bought her a good bed and a chest of drawers from one of the carpenters in town. The new furniture made her feel so good and teary. Changing the old furniture for new, put her in a very good mood.Finally, the day of departure arrived and her parents sent her to the bus rank as they wanted to personally send her off. After buying her ticket, she sat down with her parents until it was time to go.She hugged them goodbye and lingered around in their embrace as she felt sad that she was
After seeing the city or part of it, Irene drove Juanita to her apartment. Juan as someone new in the city, did her best to look at everything and memorize everything she could.She didn’t want to keep on having someone as a guide forever, she was a big girl and she wasn’t here to drag her friend down. Looking at the beautiful apartment in her sight, she felt very happy for her friend.Even though the two were best friends, she had seen the place only in photos and this was the first time being here.“This place looks beautiful,” Juan sincerely complimented as she felt happy for her friend.Irene was elated seeing that her friend was genuinely happy for her after all Juan meant a great deal to her. Even though her original intentions were not so good but as time went on, she began to like the other.“I am glad that you like it. I have prepared the gu
Juanita stayed at Irene’s house for a week and on the day, she signed the rental agreement, she told the news to Irene and this took the other by surprise.Irene was a sensitive person and could easily tell when someone was beingjudgmental or acting hostile towards her. And this is exactly what this couple had been showing her this past week and she was simply fed up.She didn’t get why they were acting like this but this wasn’t any of her business. If someone didn’t accept her as who she was, then it was better for them to go separate ways.Irene was so angry on this day that she went to bed without saying anything. Mark who didn’t like it when someone bullies or takes advantage of Irene glared at Juan and said something to Juan that motivated her to move out as quickly as possible.On the day she moved out of the apartment, Irene was still acting weirdly even though a smile
Juan was now confident as she knows that she has customers who were dying to buy her rice in large quantities. As for being tracked, Juan didn’t need to worry about that as she has the farm with her.If anyone seeks trouble, she will simply hide, bring her parents to the farm and see if those people will find her anywhere.After posting the announcement, Juan also set her selling system to the auction one and browsed through other stores. She needed many things at the moment as she couldn’t live in an empty house.Buying stuff online was cheaper sometimes so Juan didn’t hesitate to put some furniture into her cart and pay for them. The furniture was going to arrive in three days and she could wait for it.She only bought a bed, a fridge, a two-plate stove with an oven, and some daily utensils. As for the rest, she didn’t have time to buy them so she was now going to make up fo
CHAPTER 1: THE ENDING IS A B.E“………………………………………………she cried silently as bloody tears streamed down her hollowed cheeks. To her being seen like this, was the greatest sin but there was nothing she could do to stop it.How did she wish her beloved was by her side when she was still beautiful, recognizable and her beauty was making heads turn?But it was already too late to have any type of wishful thinking. At least he was there by her side at the moment when her life was about to end.She knew that she didn’t have much time anymore, so she tried her best to smile even though she couldn’t see the one person she desperately wanted to see as her eyes had been dug out by that ****.‘If there is a
Juan sat there looking at Irene as she kept on pouring her heart and her head was already aching, she was praying that Irene was going to stop anytime soon.Juan tried her best to be patient as she knew that it wasn’t easy for Irene to do this, Irene was a very proud person and Juan was grateful that Irene had guts and was here.After a while, Irene was crying and Juan passed a clean hanky to her to wipe her tears and snort. She was reminded of the old days when they were still in university, it was the good old days.“Irene, I don’t hate you, or do I want to get revenge on you or something. I understand the reason why you did all that and I pity you a lot. It is not easy being born in a family like yours,” she sighed as she sipped her wine before continuing.“Even though her motives were wrong, you never really mistreated me and I never knew. The fact that I never got t
“Today, I just don’t want to talk about myself, it will seem as if I am bragging a lot but I just want you to keep it in your heart that this life of ours should be cherished. We should be grateful even for the little things as it is things and small ones that count.”“Never give up on things that you believe in, don’t rush to do things and do your things properly for sometimes we hurry and end up in situations we will not be able to reverse and come back from.”“I am grateful to my parents for never giving me up even though my mom’s life was in danger. I am here because of them and because of that, I am grateful and I will keep on saying that until the end of time. As children, we should love our parents and be filial. Let us not be embarrassed by these beautiful people who raised us with everything that they have.”“I know that some parents may be a bit differ
The birthday banquet was way over the top but the Popes weren’t people who liked being a low profile. On this beautiful day, Julian proudly announced to everyone present that Juan was his beloved fiancée and the love of his love.Since it was official, there was no need for those scheming ladies to try something as they saw with their own eyes how deep Juan rooted herself in the Popes’ hearts and if anyone wanted to challenge that, it was going to take a miracle.To bootlick the daughter in law of the Popes’, these people brought a lot of expensive and beautiful gifts. Since they brought it, Juan accepted everything. It was up to her whether she accepts their wooing or not.The birthday banquet lasted for four straight hours and it was just suffocating. When everyone left, Juan was just so tired she threw herself on Julian’s bed as she needed some rest.Ju
Time quickly passed and the vacation was spent beautifully. Her parents were due to leave after two more months so Juan was at ease.After returning to Zlila, Juan spent roughly two weeks with the Popes’ and with Eve she was taken to all these tea parties, she was introduced to society, something that was going to happen sooner.Juan was well behaved but she never had anyone take advantage of her and they got to know that. She didn’t know how it got out that Julian was healed and fit as a horse.It became trouble as the girls who had lost their chance to get with Julian and be associated with Popes’ family was very hostile with her. but with Eve by her side, she didn’t need to lift a single finger.The vacation for university students was around seven weeks which was long and gave the students time to be with their parents and work part-time if they wanted.
Juan was so happy when she heard that emotionless and cold voice. She didn’t think that it will be easy for her to level up and thought that it was going to take her months or years to move up one level.She had bought and sold a lot of things and yet there was no reaction and yet just sucking this water and plucking these plants made the farm upgrade by two more levels, Juan was over the moon.“After this, I think that in order to upgrade in the future, we need to find places like this and harvest them. Normal plants or procedures will not work anymore,” Gem analyzed as she tapped the screen fast.Juan sighed as she thought of this problem with a hard solution, “I guess we will take it one step at a time. We have many years ahead of us, the other places must be dangerous, so let’s not dangerously run into danger.”Gem nodded her head as she agreed with Juan’
Juan sat at the stones while admiring the sound of the water as it flowed. The place was peaceful and she loved that peace as that was something she couldn’t get daily.She looked at the teen who despite having long hair wasn’t fit to be a girl. She was the perfect tomboy type and Juan had this feeling that she will definitely drive a lot of girls crazy once she leaves this mountain.“You look like a resident here! Do you live here?” Juan asked curiously as she couldn’t find the reason why this girl was here.The teen girl looked at Juan, her gaze one of scrutinizing and she was on alert and her vigilance against Juan made Juan feel very funny but this was understandable, after all, there were good and bad supernatural in the end.“Umm, I love here what about you?” the girl asked.“I am here on a vacation and I am looking for some p
Juan had no idea what Julian told his friends but Olivia’s tricks vanished and she didn’t get to see the other for a long time. Juan didn’t care what happened as long as the other knows to stay away from her man.Finally,Fantasiapremiered and Juan rejected to attend any promotional activities. After the way those people treated her when she was in a pit, she didn’t want to be used.No matter how much money they wanted to give her, she was not a pushover and she was not going to join the entertainment industry, and even if she did, she will not be acting.The job was very tiring and the money she makes after working so hard for weeks was the money she can make in a day when auctioning the rice. So, why should she be schemed against every day when she can make money while seated at home.Juan was ambitious but she wasn’t money crazy like others. She wa
Juan’s dropping off Julian at school for three days in a row caused a lot of havoc. Some enthusiastic people would wait for Juan to drop off Julian so that they may take a look at her, snap a few photos, and brag on their social media.After all, those who didn’t Juan at this point will be just a few especially in Zlila. Juan had become a celebrity and several people knew that she has some connection to the Popes’ and seeing the ring on her finger, they didn’t need to be told.Juan also got along well with Julian’s friends after all food was the best bribe one can give to your close people. The couple even invited the four to their villa and Juan outdid herself.She liked Julian’s friends a lot but there was something about that female friend of his that didn’t sit well with her. her name is Olivia and she had been playing with Julian for over ten years.The
