The next following days, Darrel always picks me up and delivers me back to my unit. I even read some articles about us, asking if we're dating or not. No one spoke on either side of mine and Darrel. Let them think whatever they want to think about us."Ma'am Reese, I noticed that you go out more often with Sir Darrel?" Honeyleth asked. This woman is really curious about things, and I'm the one whom she always pays attention to."Besides, Ma'am, why doesn't Sir Axis seem to see you anymore?" She asked again but I didn't answer her question. I decided to just keep quiet because to be honest, I can't and I don't want to answer her.As lunch time approaches, lot of customers came. The more the customers arrive, the busier I get at the restaurant. And that became my routine every time I am here at the restaurant."Let's go Yasha," Darrel was here again and he said he would take me to the restaurant.That's what he always does. Even if I stop him, he wo
"Mark, please bring it to table 16, Kurt isn't here yet.""Wait a minute Jenna, I'll just bring this to table 3.""Can you please hurry up? The customers at table 16 have been waiting for quite a while now." I turned to Jenna and Mark's direction while hearing them exchanging words. As I noticed that both of them are busy, that's when I decided to approach them."What's the matter?" I asked them."The customers at Table 16 have been waiting—""Let me do it," I cut her words since I already knew what she's going to say. Their conversation earlier gave me a clue though."Are you sure Ma'am?" Jenna's forehead crinkled as I volunteered myself."Yeah, besides I don't want our customers to wait." I smiled at her, telling her that it's no big deal to me.Jenna looks hesitant if she could hand me the food tray or not. What I did is to take it from her as the sides of my mouth turned up."Table 16 right?" I queried, making sure if what I
Darrel and I arrived in my unit around 2 in the afternoon. Both of us entered in. Darrel went straight to my kitchen while I went upstairs to change my clothes. Since I'm already home, I wore a loose and comfortable shorts and a simple blouse. I also did messy bun in my hair before I went downstairs.Darrel is now wearing a black apron and he's busy mixing all the ingredients in a mixing bowl when I headed in the kitchen."Why did you take my role in making cookies?" I nagged at his back. Darrel then turned to me and laughed. I pouted my lips while glaring at him.When we were still in high school, we used to make cookies together. I was the one mixing all the ingredients while he was the one baking it but now, inside my own unit, this guy just took my role."Let's exchange for the mean time." He said, smiling devilishly. Aish!"What shape do you want?" I asked while pressing the cookie cutter on the dough to make cookie shapes."Heart shape."
I've been lying in the bed for I don't know how long it is now but I can't seem to fall asleep. I adjusted my position and leaned my head against the headboard. I closed my eyes, trying to let drowsiness visit me but what happened earlier flashed back in me and I can't help but smile.I bit my lip hard and I even hugged my pillow tight. Soon, I screamed silently. Gosh! Did he just say that he's jealous? Is Axis really jealous?Darn! I know I haven't been visited by drowsiness yet but please, tell me I'm not dreaming because I don't know how to accept it if it's all just a dream.I hurried out of my room when I realized that I woke up late. Aish! I don't know what time did I sleep last night. All I know is that I'm still sleepy but I have to get up now.Before leaving my room, I took the car key from the bedside table and finally went downstairs. Surprise drew in my face because the moment I stepped out of my unit, I saw Axis comfortably leaning against th
After informing me that Darrel was here, Honeyleth went back inside. Having no idea as to why Darrel was here, I shrugged. On the other hand, I guess it's better that he came here because I wanted to talk to him about something very important.Shrugging both of my shoulders again, I followed Honeyleth downstairs. I asked her where Darrel is since he's not inside. When she told me that he's waiting outside, I went out. There, I saw him leaning at the side of his car and he waved his hand when he saw me. I just smiled at him.I gestured him to wait for me in a bit then I went to my table and took my things. I was about to leave when Aishi spoke behind me."Yasha, fix yourself. It's not good to see that someone brought you here, yet another person is fetching you." She said and it's more on an advice to me. I understand why she sounded like that and I appreciate it a lot. Aishi really cares for me."Yes Manager. Don't worry, I already made up my mind. Just trust
I wiped away my tears incessantly. I took a deep breath because I felt like I was going to run out of air. Then I ended up sobbing silently. He just told me that he was jealous the last time. He even kissed me that time! Then why do I have to witness this now?My tears fell again. Stupid idiot, it's only now that I'm admitting to myself that I like you, but why do you have to hurt me right away?"Ma'am Yasha!" I immediately dried my tears when I saw Angeli coming towards me. "Oh my! Are you crying, Ma'am?" She asked me and I shook my head but my eyes can't lie because there were tears falling from there again."Oh my," Angeli's eyes now showing me worries. I held her hand and we walked away from that place. "Ma'am, why are you crying?" She once asked and that caused my tears to flow again."Angeli please, don't tell Axis that I came here." My voice cracked while begging at her."Ma'am..." I just bit my lower lip."P-please, don't tell him that I c
"Another one glass, please?" I asked the bartender."Ma'am, you're already drunk." I just rolled my eyes after hearing that. Then I looked up because my head was laid on top of the bar island table."I'm not yet drunk. Just give me one glass right now and just let me enjoy." I insisted on the bartender."Ma'am Yasha, even if I give you a drum of wine, you still won't be able to enjoy it because you're already drunk."Irritated by what I have heard, I laid down my forehead on the counter table. Why is this bartender such a villain? And why can't he give me wine? I can give him my payment later. Or don't tell me the reason why he's not giving me is because he thought I might not pay him?I raised my head again."You don't want to give me wine? All right, I won't pay all my bills." I challenged and I felt my vision spin."Ma'am—""I'm serious, I won't pay all my bills." Even though my vision got blur, I saw how the bartender scratched his
"Fine. Let's stop this." Axis uttered and that words of his break my heart into tiny pieces.I tightened my grip on the door knob and I secretly bit my lip; and tried my best for him not to hear my sobs. It's just so painful for me to hear these words coming out of his mouth, but I have to accept it.“Y-yeah. Let's stop—" I wasn't able to finish my words because he held my hand until we both faced each other. I just looked in the other direction because I don't want him to see me crying.I know, Axis was stupid but I was stupider because I fell in love with him. Fine, I'm now admitting that I don't just like Axis. I think it's more than that because with this emotions I'm feeling right now, I guess I already fell for him. But what's the sense? He's already committed to someone and it's better for me to just let my feelings for him fade because he doesn't like me at all."Look at me Yasha Reese," he said with a serious tone and that made my tears pooled
Axis released one of my hands and stroke my cheek. I just stood quietly and just stared at him. Every word he says seemed to seal in my heart. Every opening of his mouth seemed to remind me how things between us started.My heart is beating so fast and it doesn't want to stop. Maybe because it was Axis who said all those words, and it's Axis—the guy who can only make my heart beats fast like this.Unannounced, he suddenly kneeled in front of me and I don't know how to stop my emotions anymore. Locking my eyes into his, he took out a small box on his pocket and as he opened it, a 10 carat chopard blue diamond ring with micro pave diamonds popped up in front of me. My tears just flowed as I stared straight at him."From this exact place and exact spot, and just like the same day when I first encounter you... Yasha Reese Heuson, I want you to marry me." I couldn't hold back my tears.He's right. This place is where it all started. This place is where
"On your pose." The photographer instructed Yasha and she has to follow what was being instructed to her. She's wearing a beige modified A-line gown, showing a dreamy and whimsical look on the camera.After all the things that happened, she is back to the thing she really wants to do, a place where she fits perfectly, that is the modeling industry and they are now rushing things for her 10th anniversary.Done with the laborious preparation they had, the day came for her agency to launch the magazine cover they had prepared.‘Yasha Reese Heuson graces the cover of the highly anticipated three-cover special of the Big Fashion Issue of Starlight Modeling Agency, celebrating her come back in the modeling industry as they launch their newest 10th anniversary magazine cover.’After all the trials she has gone through, at times when everyone is feasting her name because of the news related to her, despite the events where almost everyone has turned away and judged h
Axis' Point of ViewTime quickly passed by. I'm grateful that Yasha and I surpassed those things that happened between the two of us. For the second time around, issue about us came out again, but unlike before were people bombarded us especially Yasha with hateful comments, the reason of our previous issue is now being discussed.People learned that those things that happened were part of our sacrifices. As much as I want them not to bring back the topic, I can't control their thinking. In every issue, people always have their own point of view. So I can't blame them for whatever they want to say."Lando, how's my schedule today?""Sir, you are free the whole day," he answered.Lando was my new secretary. Regarding what happened with Angeli, I have to find for a new one as her replacement. I'm disappointed with her, but I actually understood her because she, me, and Yasha went through the same thing at Kelly's hands.About Lando, yes
For all the things Kelly Jocson had caused me, I abhor her, but thanks to her unsuccessful plan anyway. If it wasn't because of her stupidity, I should not have known Axis.That stupidity of hers is the reason why I have Axis in my life now, so despite the sufferings and the troubles she brought to us, that's one of the things I can be thankful for all she did.I left Angeli and Honeyleth after talking to them. If they're asking for my forgiveness, I could give it to them, but not at this moment. I understand them. I know all of us will do things even if it's against our will just to protect our loved ones. From the decision they made, I also understand them.I can actually forgive them, but what they did to me was really painful and they deserve to pay for the mistakes they made. I will go to them myself when my heart is ready to forgive them, but not now."Axis, hey! Get off me, will you? I might get burn." I laughed while trying to push him away.&nbs
"No. That's impossible! You can't do this to me, can you?" I couldn't find the right words to ask. This is not true. They are just fooling me."Ma'am Reese, s-sorry." And it was as if cold water had been poured on me when she said that. Sorry? Does that mean it's really true?"W-what? Why? What did I do to you? Tell me, what did I do to you?" My tears were already falling."Ma'am Reese, sorry. S-sorry." She apologized. She tried to hold my hand but I backed away from her."What's my fault with you?! Tell me, what's my fault with you, Honeyleth? Why are you doing this to me?!" I couldn't help but let out the resentment I was feeling.My gaze shifted between the two of them—Angeli and Honeyleth. Of all the people who can do this to me, why them? Why did they do this to me? How could they?"W-why? Tell me... why? I treated you like my family even though I'm not related to you. I've been a good person to the both of you, but why is this? Why did
"Do you know how dangerous that offer is? What if they killed you?You don't know who those men were! What if they did something to you knowing that you went there alone—" I immediately hugged Axis tightly and that caused him to stop talking."I don't mind how dangerous it was. I can say that everything is now okay, Axis. That is what all I want, to make everything all fine. I once sacrificed for your sake and I will not hesitate to do it again for you." I felt Axis hug me in return. I don't know how many minutes had passed since we had just hugged each other."I was afraid because of what you did, but you don't have any idea how proud I was woman." He gently stroke my hair and I squeezed my body to him even harder.All trials and tribulations have endings but that won't end if you don't fight back.I didn't stay long in the hospital after I woke up. To be honest, I'm so sick of it. Hopefully, this is really my last stay here because over the past few months,
Yasha slowly opened her eyes. With the strange yet familiar smell surrounding her, she knew she was inside the hospital again. She got up immediately but someone stopped him."Please, baby. Don't be such a hardheaded." She looked to her left and there she saw Axis next to her."What happened? Why am I here again? And Kelly, where is she? Did she escape again?" She continuously asked."Calm down woman, okay? Don't worry, your condition is okay and about Kelly, she's in the other room. They just need to clean up the graffiti she got. There were policemen guarding her and after her treatment, she will be directed to the precinct." She breathed a sigh of relief. After the sacrifices she had made, she did not know if Kelly would ever escape again.The doctor told her she was okay. She only lost consciousness because that was the effect of Kelly hitting her head. Fortunately, no infection had developed especially since she had just recovered from comatose.Wh
"Since we are complete here, why not hear my short story?" Kelly interfered. Her already trembling hand had become calm. She's holding the gun firmly now and her eyes were filled in wrath."There was these two people wherein both of their accounts were hacked. You know someone planned everything but unfortunately, the person she hired mistakenly hacked this girl's account. But she didn't mind though. She still continued her plan." Kelly started and the way she's holding the gun, it's as if she's stopping herself from the anger rummaging in her system."Then one day, they rushed her father in the hospital. Their company was also put in bankruptcy and the only way to keep it was to get this boy's help." A pair of crystal clear water dropped from her eyes."She's desperate to get what she wants that's why she threatened the boy to kill the woman he loves if he won't agree to her plan. And on the other hand, she also threatened the woman that she will kill the boy she
Third Person Point of ViewYasha pulled over the car in a fast speed. She doesn't care anymore. From that day on she had a hunch who was responsible for all this, but she did not know why it all came to this. Yes, she already had a hunch who's the hacker and it's not a he, but a she.What is her fault? What did she do to make her do this? Yasha still couldn't believe what was happening. She could not imagine nor remember what was the main reason for the hacker to be like this towards her.On the other hand, Axis is there, sitting in a chair, with his eyes blindfolded, his mouth closed, and his hands and feet were both tied.One hand violently removed the covering of his eyes and mouth. Axis then saw that he was surrounded by countless men having a muscular body, but all the more he could not believe the woman who's now walking towards his direction."What the fuck?" Axis can't believe what he was seeing, but the woman just grinned back at him before bow
