"Ahhhhhhh!" My eyes got dazzled because of the light coming from that car. Terrified, I lose my balance causing me to be rooted on the floor, sitting pitifully. I closed my eyes as my heart is beating so fast and loud. Please, please, I don't want to die yet. I don't want to die here. I'm too young to die.
"Miss Yasha!" I heard the shouts of people running toward me. They sounded worried.
I slowly opened my eyes and I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized that I'm still alive. I checked my whole body and thanks God, I am still alive.
"Miss, are you okay?" a guy who almost bumped me came out of his car. He sat to level his position on me and held my arm, maybe to check if I am okay, but I didn't answer him. I stood up and went inside his car instead.
"Oh God!" I breathe heavily when I sat inside. I thought I'm going to die today, but I am thankful to this guy. Even though he almost bumped me, he was of help, at least. Because of him, I was able to get away from this crowd.
My breathing was rapid. Of course, I run from the third floor down to the ground floor, who wouldn't get tired because of that? I felt like I run hundred miles.
Through the window, I saw that the owner of this car entered and sat at the driver seat. Then I looked at the side mirror and I can see that there are still people chasing me. Geez! Can't they stop? When will they stop?
"Drive," I commanded the driver while looking at the people. I'm anxious because they are still running towards our direction. Some are already knocking on the car window.
I was still breathing continuously and I don't know who this guy is, but I really want to get away from it, from this place. That's just it. As in right now!
I turned my gaze on this guy when I heard him heave a deep sigh. Soon, he operated his car. Huh! Serves him right. He almost end my life. Being my driver will be his payment for what he did.
"Could you please drive a little faster?" I thundered and I abruptly grabbed the seatbelt and held on the shotgun seat because of the sudden braking he made. Gosh! I didn't buckle my seatbelt for life's sake!
"You geez! Are you trying to kill me?" I shouted at him and right at that moment, he looked at me.
My eyes widened a bit as I saw his face. Okay, he's so damn handsome. And ... and so what?
"If I could just do it right now, you're already lying at your spot lifeless," I just rolled my eyes because of what he responded. "And who the hell are you, woman? You are so fucking demanding!" He said irritably. Wow! Wow, seriously?
"You shut up, will you? You talk too much! And geez! You almost end my life so just take the consequences and be my driver just for now! And yes, I am demanding. So, start driving now because I don't want to be overtaken by people!" Well yeah, he told me I am demanding, so be it. Might as well do it on purpose.
He shook his head as if he's losing his patience because of me. I even heard him mumble before he continued driving. And is he serious? Did he forget that I almost died because of him and now he got the guts to shout at me? Really?
Silence embraced us after that. No one's talking and who cares? As if I wanted to start a conversation with him.
Suddenly, my phone rings so I took it out. It was Aishi.
[Where are you?] She sounded so worried.
"At the car with this anonymous guy." I answered and I saw on my peripheral vision that this guy looked at me. His brows almost turned one line. What? I'm just being honest here. I really don't know him. Was that a big deal for him to be called as anonymous?
[What? Are you serious?]
"Don't worry, he's harmless. Maybe?" I answered unsurely.
[Should I call the police now? We can track you.] She added. I even heard her exhale a deep breath.
"Don't mind me. I can take care of myself." I heave a sigh. But I got hysterical again when I remembered what happened earlier. "Gosh! Shut it now Aishi! It's not that important. The thing is, what the hell the reporter was talking about earlier?" My head heats up again. I still remember what that thick eyeglasses guy told me.
Damn! I wasn't engaged!
[You won't believe me Yasha! Come on, open your account.] She said instead of answering my question.
My forehead crumpled. Won't believe what?
Since I'm curious, I ended up the call to open my account but geez, why it can't be opened? What happened? Why does it not want to open? I called Aishi again."Can't open it Aishi," I told her.[I will send you the pictures. Just wait.] Then she turned off the call.I looked outside the car. It's getting dark already. If earlier, I don't wanna go home. Now, I want to be at home at least.I looked at my phone again when it rang, but it wasn't my phone. Soon I realized that it belonged to this guy. Why do we have the same ringtone anyway? And the hell I care about that?"Mom," he said upon answering the call.[My God, son! Why did you lie to us?] Her mom, I think, wailed."What are you talking about Mom?" He asked curiously. Though, I can only him side view, his forehead was already crumpled.Okay, I am not eavesdropping to their conversation. It's just that his phone was placed on the dashboard and is set on a loudspeaker tone, and I'm
"YOU?" I asked him unbelievably. He's the guy who tagged me with that post? Seriously? Tell me, is this some kind of joke?"Stop shouting, will you?" He shot back, sounded annoyed. Agh!"You stupid idiot! Why the hell are you doing this to me, huh?" I furiously asked him. He turned to me and his eyebrows almost turned to a one single straight line."I don't know what you are talking about, woman!" He growled at me."You don't know? Then what's the meaning of this?" Losing my patience, I handed him my phone and showed him the picture then I heard him cussed softly."Fuck! I guess this is what my Mom says." He spoke softly and leaned back in his chair.So, that's it? That's just it?"Hey! Aren't you going to do something?" I yelled at him. This guy is really getting into my nerves now."What do you want me to do?" He an
This guy continued driving and I didn't bother to stop him from what he's planning. I will let his conscience kill him if he does something bad to me.Minutes of driving, I just realized that he turned on the left road and we passed by in a subdivision and minutes later, a large house appeared in front of us... that kind of a literal big house.The gate automatically opened then he parked his car at the garage and one of their maids approached us."Good evening Sir Axis," an old woman greeted this guy beside me and he just nodded."Good evening too Ma'am," she greeted me too when she noticed me and gave me a sweet smile."Good evening," I politely answered back. I do have some respect too. I'm just really rude when it comes to Aishi. Oh well, let's include this Axis as well.I looked at him when he walked inside the big house. He didn't even wait for me. Tss. What am I expecting from a guy like him?"My God, Axis! Why didn't you tell us that
I had a dinner with Axis' family that night and had a short talk with them after that. Good thing they didn't ask me random questions while having a conversation with them because if that happens, I swear, it would be awkward knowing that it was the first time I met them. They just keep on complimenting me, that they were happy that I am their son's fiancee, their future daughter-in-law.After that conversation, they told me that their two guest rooms were not available yet because they had old things there and had not cleaned it yet. So Aunt Ally and Uncle Fordee told me to stay inside Axis' room and the worst thing is, they told us that it is okay for them if we make their grandchildren already. Seriously?Geez! Geez! Geez! How many times do I have to tell them that there is nothing between me and that stupid idiot Axis?"You! This was all your fault! If it was not because of that stupid post of yours, we would not be in this situation!" I can't help but to
I slowly opened my eyes until an unfamiliar things welcomed me. When all my senses awaken, that's the only time when I realized I was in another room.Another room? I quickly stood up because of that realization. Where am I? What am I doing here? I roamed my eyes in this room. I even hit my head, trying to remember things as to how I got here."Hitting your head when you woke up? You look crazy," I quickly turned my attention to the person who spoke. My two eyes widened.It was Axis! Crap. So, I am not dreaming? Yeah, I guess I am not really dreaming because it was real... my real nightmare... And Axis is that nightmare.I narrowed my eyes on him while he was leaning on the window frame close to the bed with his arms crossed. I didn't even notice him when I woke up.Wait... as far as I remember, I slept on the couch. How come that I woke up in this bed? And don't tell me he's watching me the w
"Mommy, that's not true!" Still, I denied."Tone down your voice Yasha Reese Heuson," Daddy disobeyed me. I sighed heavily, then I faced him."Daddy, that's not really true," my voice is almost pleading. Why they can't believe in me?"Sweetie, there is nothing wrong with that, okay?" Mommy's tone weakened and then she approached me and made me sit on the couch beside them. "I will be more glad hearing that you're engaged already. You're not getting any younger, Yasha. You need to settle down yourself now." She expressed while fixing some strands of my hair but what she uttered caused me to close my eyes.I'm actually getting tired of explaining everything here and there, yet they won't believe me in the end."Mommy you know me. I have no time to think about my lovelife. And for Pete's sake, I just turned 25 last month. I am still busy with my modeling career, with the showbiz industry and in my restaurant. So please believe me this time, I am not
"What the hell do you want?" I asked him as I sat on the chair in front of him. My eyes is automatically burning in fire now"You?" His eyes widened in shock when he realized that it was me. I just rolled my eyes. "I didn't know that you own this restaurant," he said in awe as he roam his eyes in the whole place."Now that you already knew that I own it, does my restaurant has something to do with you?" With his mere presence here, my blood starts to boil again. This guy went near me, bent a little and leveled his head on the side of my ear and whispered something."Relax there, woman," then he smirked at me and seriously, I wanna punch that smirk on his face."Kyaaaaah!" I heard the screams of the customers. "The news is really legit.""They're a good match.""They look so lovely together."I want to puke because of what I'm hearing. They thought Axis is doing a sweet gesture towards me. They didn't know that we're just exchangi
"YOU!" I turned to Axis. "This is all your fault!" He's the only one I could blame for this."How many times do I fucking need to tell you that I have no freaking idea about that news?!" He shot back, his jaw tightened and I can tell that he's also pissed, just like what I'm feeling towards him."Yash, Axis! Would you please calm down guys?" Aishi interfered with us. I just looked in the other direction and let out a deep breath again.This is so annoying!"Listen up. I know this may sound stupid, but I guess you need to go with the flow." Aishi suggested so I definitely turn my gaze to her. I narrowed my eyes on her."Don't tell me—""Yes. You need to pretend as a couple.""HELL NO!/FUCK NO!" Axis and I both opposed."Seriously Aishi? What kind of suggestion is that? Are you out of your mind?!" I gave her a death look. Is she insane? Me and Axis will pretend as a couple? Hell no!"Look. I understand your part guys," She said and
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
