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I saw that the smirk plastered on his lips had been replaced by a smile.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
That conversation made everyone look at my direction. When they realized who I am, some of the board members flocked in front of me and they were also asking for my autograph. Maybe it was a lucky day for me, or for us rather because Axis wasn't angry, perhaps he is and he's just trying to refrain himself. I didn't expect that they would ask for my autograph anyway.A short period of time was wasted because of me. When we all settled, that's when Axis started talking again in front of the board members. While he's preceding the meeting, I noticed that he's really different. In every word he says, you will feel the authority in his voice. He's far differ compared to the attitude he's showing me.Gone are the hours, yet I had no idea what they were talking about. It's about their project, I guess? Anyway, I'm not certain about it since business is not my thing.Subsequent to that gathering, Axis took my hand and we were about to leave the conference hall when that wo
Our movie Surprising Turn of Fate is now showing in all cinemas nationwide. I am so excited with it, but thinking about Darrel? I just don't know how or what should I react. I still can't move on from what he did the other night. He just kissed me. He just confessed with me and he even informed that he will court me! Is he for real?I averted my attention when my phone rings."Yes?" I responded.[Where are you? We're already here at the studio.] Aishi said on the other line."I'm coming. Just wait for me," I replied, heaving a deep sigh after that conversation.I don't know what should I feel right now knowing that Darrel would be there. It's just that, I've known him for how many years. Then one day, he just confessed with me. Who wouldn't feel uncomfortable because of that? And how can I face him right now at this state?When I got down in front of the studio, I sighed deeply before deciding to get inside. I saw that all of them were already the
I forced myself to smile after hearing what Axis replied. "Y-yeah. There's n-nothing b-between the two of us," my voice weaken and I couldn’t help but to avoid his stare. "I think I have to go. Aishi texted me and they need me at the resto," I excused but that was a lie because Aishi didn't sent me a message at all."Alright," Axis responded plainly and I felt more pain in my chest."I guess I have to go now," I said and stood up. I slowly stepped out and I am expecting him to follow me like the usual thing he does but I already stormed out of his office, yet I didn't even feel his presence behind me.Upon closing the door, I leaned my back against it. Every time I went out of his office before, he would accompany me out and take me to my restaurant, but why is he not doing that now?I closed my eyes when I feel the weight on my chest. Why am I feeling this? Axis, why are you like this?"Ma'am Yasha?" I was stunned when someone tapped my arm. "Are you a
I woke up because of a series of knocks from outside my unit so I got out of bed. Without checking how do I look like, I left the room and headed to the first floor."Good morning," I stopped rubbing my eyes when I saw that it was Darrel and was holding a bunch of flowers. "For you," I quickly straightened myself and fixed my messy hair before I reached for the flower."Ah, thank you. Good morning. Come in," I shyly invited him inside. "What are you doing here this early?" I asked him, curiosity crossed in my face. It's not new to me that he always comes here. I'm just wondering what he is doing here this early."Doing what suitors usually do?" He answered smilingly and I had not choice but to return him back the smile. I still feel the awkwardness though."You want coffee?" I asked and saw him nod his head so I quickly went to the kitchen and made two cups of coffee; one which is mine, the other one is for him.After handling him the cup of coffee,

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
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
