Alone inside my unit, I averted my gaze on the door when I heard someone knocked outside. I quickly got up to approached who is it and as I opened the door, Darrel appeared in front of me.
"Good morning. Are you ready?" he asked. I almost forgot, today is the start of our movie shoot.
I invited him inside and prepared a cup of coffee for him while waiting for me to prepare my things. Done fixing everything, I took my bag before proceeding downstairs. As I approached him, he exactly finished his coffee and we both went out together afterwards.
We were in his car when we headed to the first movie setting. The other casts, Director Maxine, the writers and the staffs were also there. The stylists led us to the dressing area and they let us wear the appropriate clothes for the shoot. The first setting is in a subdivision.
The whole day, we had lot of takes. We kept repeating the taping unless we will be able to perfect it especially in executing the appropriate fa
Axis brought me to a fine restaurant near the subdivision where the movie shoot took place. Since I was really hungry, I did not mind that he's in front of me and I bet he is watching me the whole time I am eating."Is Maxine feeding you there?" he asked me and I just nodded in response. My mouth was still full though. "But seems like you haven't eaten for a week," he added. I even heard him laugh so I stared deathly at him."Anyway, how are you?" he asked as he put the beefsteak on my plate.It's been more than a month since we started the movie shoot and I rarely go home to the condo. Mostly, we stay in the tent. Sometimes, we stay in hotels especially if we have to shoot somewhere far. Because of the heavy workloads I had, this is the only time we have seen each other since we started the taping."Why? Did you miss me?" I joked with him. I also laughed hard as I continued eating but I was stopped because of what he replied."Yeah. I've missed you wom
I arrived early at the movie shoot setting the next day and we immediately dived into taping again. Aishi could not able to visit me here every now and then because she is the one who manages the restaurant since I am busy with this film but she always make sure to contact me to ask about the things we are doing.That day, we went to Tagaytay and stayed there for almost two weeks and we returned back in Laguna for one week again because there are scenes who needed to be shoot there. Fortunately, the whole production team is very hands-on on us especially our director.Honestly speaking, I do admire Director Maxine in this movie taping. She is really dedicated on her work. She supervises the production of the movie, in the responsibility for the action, lighting, music and rehearsals. Everything. She supervises everything.Sometimes she herself helps us how to project facial expressions in front of the camera.I already told this before but now that we are alr
"Good morning too, woman," he sarcastically replied to my statement. "Oh, it's past twelve, so I should greet you good afternoon instead," he added, sarcasm is still present in his tone.I just rolled my eyes. "What are you doing here?" I once asked."Watching you while sleeping?" he answered and even smiled at me teasingly. To my great annoyance, I realized that one of my pillows had already landed on his face."The fuck?" he complained."Answer me nicely, you stupid idiot!" I widened my eyes on him, a sign of warning."I miss that words of yours," he winked and he is referring to what I branded him, being a stupid idiot. "And I am answering your question nicely, woman. I've been watching you sleeping since yesterday," what he stated made my eyes widened more."You are also here last night? How did you get in here?" I inquisitively inquired."I know your pass code," then I saw how smirk formed in his lips. Soon I realized that I unintention
Until now, my heart is still beating so fast. I couldn't let my fingers off my lips too and darn it, I can’t still process on my mind what Axis did to me earlier. I can still feel his red soft lips on mine. Darn! Why am I thinking this much? Why am I being affected this much? Geez Axis! Look what you just did to me.Still out of myself, I almost jumped while standing against the door because my phone rings loudly. This is really Axis' fault! Argh!Heaving a deep sigh, I shook my head, trying to get off Axis on my mind then I took my phone that was place on my bed."What?" I answered using a tight voice.[Hey, Yash! Just wanna inform you that you need to go to the CineMaxx studio and expect your hectic schedule starting next week. You'll also be guesting from different morning and noon time shows with Darrel to plug the movie. By the way, you also have upcoming mall shows. About Starlight, I postponed your photoshoots so no need for you to worry.] Aishi gave me a
When I arrived at the Averion Company building, it was as if I had joined the contest in such a hurry. Some employees even stepped sideways so I could be able to walk freely. I was no longer able to greet them too because of my situation.I'm not used in cursing people but this time, I wanna curse Axis. That stupid idiot is really a mess!As I stopped in front of the elevator, I noticed lot of employees who are lurking in front of it so I headed to the elevator which was exclusive only for the CEO. Fortunately, the guard didn't disobey me.When I entered into the elevator, things are already running through my mind. What if Aunt Ally is already there? What if she came first before me? Damn it! For the first time, I feel like this elevator moves slowly. And I wanna curse that guy more for choosing his office to be on the top floor!If it was not because of the door which opened, I won't be able to realize that the elevator had already stop."Ma'am Yasha,
My eyes were fixated steadily at Axis while he was looking at me intently. Consciousness instantly grew inside of me so I looked away but I felt his hand at my chin. He lifted it up until our gazes met again.I gulped prior to what I'm feeling. "What are you going to do?" I don't know where did I get the courage to ask him that. I feel so nervous, that's all I know.I saw that the smirk plastered on his lips had been replaced by a smile."Why?" I once asked as he stared at my face.“Nothing. It's just that, it's my first time to see you without any make up on your face and I think you are one of those living proofs that women are beautiful without make ups." I can feel how my cheeks blushed. How can I not? Except for what he stated, he was staring straight at me while mentioning those words."Let's grab a lunch together. That's really my purpose on calling you but I don't know what has gotten into me that I ended tripping you out. My apologies," he said
Been busy this past few weeks as we have started guesting from different morning and noon time shows with Darrel to plug our upcoming movie Surprising Turn of Fate.By next month, 10th of December, will be the official date for the movie release that's why we are guesting from different shows one after the other. It's part of promoting the movie.Aside from attending variety of talk shows, we are also preparing for mall shows. We've already been to various mall shows actually. The next day, our target is to visit Ilo-ilo and Cebu."Yasha and Darrel, you'll be guesting later at Celebrity Night, alright?" A reminder to us by Aunt Madi, Darrel's manager. Aishi was with us today since she is my manager.All of us stayed inside the lobby of the CineMaxx studio and we are with Director Maxine. She's telling us about the things we need to focus with."After guesting at Celebrity Night later, we will focus on the premiere night," Director Maxine
Weekend came so I informed Aishi to cancel all my schedules for the meantime. I just need to rest myself. Just last week, we went to Ilo-ilo and Cebu for our mall shows, so right now, we're just preparing for the upcoming of our premiere night.As the elevator opens, I walked inside. I'm just waiting for it to close when suddenly a foot put in between the doors so it opened again and it was not surprising that Axis now appeared in front of me, but my chest suddenly beats fast when I remembered him kiss me before. Argh! Forget it Yasha, will you? I scolded myself."Where are you off to?" He asked as soon as he stood beside me."In my restaurant," I sparingly answered. When we got down in the basement, Axis suddenly pulled me up."Hey, where are you taking me?" I asked but he did not answer me. I just found out that we are already here in front of his car and let me in there. He then put the key in the ignition and started driving his car."I will get off
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
