"Why this hacker doesn't want to message you now?" Aishi complained while we were here at her condo.
The experts I hired in this field were having a hard time with this hacker. If the hacker will send me a message, it would have been easier for us to find where he is but the expert told me that if he has deleted my account, we won't be able to trace him anymore but deleting an account only happens after 90 days.
If that's what the hacker did then we still have a chance because it's only been a month. There are still 60 days left, hoping that in that remaining days, we could track him.
"Let me handle this problem, Ma'am. It may be a bit more difficult this time but fear not. I will catch your hacker." I felt relieved somehow because I can feel the assurance in the expert's tone.
They say it takes a long time for the weeds to really die and so with this hacker because we really have a hard time finding where he is. We may only have the least percent of in
Life is an unending journey—a journey where you should keep going despite the challenges you are facing. In this journey, there is no room for giving up. Yes, you may stop but it requires you not to give up. Sure, life is not a contest where some wins and some losses but it is a battle where in you should win every struggles.And that's what I want to do now, to win this struggle I am facing. It is hard but that's not a reason for me to stop. I believe there's always a solution to every problem and I won't let this problem ruin me. I have had sacrificed a lot and I won't let those sacrifices I did to put into waste."Yasha, give me your stern look this time." I immediately changed my facial expression as the photographer demanded."Face your left side a bit." I did again what he said. "A bit more, no no, turn on your left side. Alright, stop. Stop. That's it. Now look at me with your stern look."Click of cameras, lightings, set of different clothes, various
Axis Ford's Point of ViewPeople only want one thing in this world, that is happiness. But how can we attain that? Do we need to sacrifice first in order for us to attain happiness?Can't we be happy without any pain? Can't we be happy without hurting someone's feelings? Can't we be happy without hurting our own feelings? Can't we be happy because we are truly happy?Maybe, life is really unfair or it's just that life works that way. Maybe that's the purpose of life. For all we know, life is not life for nothing. Life doesn't only bring happiness, but somehow it also brings challenges—a challenges that might bring us lessons in order for us to become a better and strong person. Yes, that's what life is.But why me? Of all people, why is it me? Why should I be the one to experience all of these things? I thought if we sacrificed then everything will get better, but why things only seem to get worst?"Book me the fastest flight in the Philippines, Angeli.
I wanted to chase her. I don't want to end this night with us having a quarrel, but I got a call, that maybe, just maybe, that call was a sign for me to let her think first, that I should let her go first. And that's what I did.I took the call. It was Kelly, asking me to come to her because she needs me. I know Yasha needs me too but I chose to go to Kelly, considering the situation she has right now.I learned that her father is in the hospital, in his critical condition. I knew Kelly back then. She's been a friend to me. Both our fathers were colleagues.From her situation right now, no one's comforting her aside from me because she has nothing. Only her father and I can't stand seeing her suffering.That night, her father's condition got worse."I can't lost my Dad, Axis. He's the only one I have. I can't lost him." I hugged her tightly while crying. I can feel and understand her pain and I can't bear seeing her suffering like this.Week
"Yasha," I quickly approached her and hugged her tightly. Prisoning her in my arms, right at this moment I know she is crying. "I'm sorry,baby. Please, calm down. I am already here." I tightened the hug but she pushed me away."Why are you here?" Her voice was cold and that shows that she's mad."You need me Yasha. I won't leave you now." I said but tears rolled down her cheeks."Maybe someone needs you more.""Yasha, please. Let's not talk about her." Because I know she's referring to Kelly again."Then what do you want to talk about? Us? What about us, Axis?" Her voice sounded vehemently."Yasha, I came home because I'm worried about you." I hope she knows that. I hope she understands that."And if this didn't happen to me, will you come to me? I waited for you, Axis. I am expecting that when I woke up, you will be the first person I see. But what?" Her tears couldn't stop and it pains me more to see her cry like this."I have to rus
TRIGGER WARNING: Suicide attempt, self-injury.***What Kelly's asking is not that easy. There are lot of factors to consider. Business is not just a game. Business undergoes processes. The process itself is hard. It can be laborious and complicated.The merging she's talking isn't just about the CEO and the people in the highest positions. The boards of the companies must approve any merger transaction first. State laws also require shareholder approval. To cut it short, even if I'm the CEO, the decision is not merely on me."I'm... I'm sorry. I u-understand." I let out a sigh again because of what she said. "I have to go." Kelly then stormed out my office.I am always ready to help her. Like what I said, I am willing to help her but not this kind of thing.Days passed and every time I'm seeing Kelly here in the company, she's just giving me smiles and then she passes me by. She never brought up the t
I quickly rushed Kelly to the hospital when she lost consciousness. She just lacerated her wrist in front of me! She's crazy!The doctor immediately studied the anatomy of her wrist. In her condition, the doctor told me that wrist laceration is going to depend on two things—the direction of the laceration, and the depth of the cut.The laceration ability to threaten life is dependent entirely upon whether or not the artery is lacerated and in her case, her wound is not that deep.Her attempt was categorized as nonlethal and the doctor did the hemorrhage control. Bleeding will stop on its own, but doctor said it's far better for her to have her wounds dressed and that's what they did.I covered my hand on my face while looking at Kelly whom until now still hadn't woken up after she was treated.What was she thinking? Just because of her situation, she thought of doing this thing? That she's hopeless and having no reason to live? She thought there's
After that day, I never saw Kelly again. I'm still mad at her. I didn't know that after all the things I have done to her, this is what she's going to do with me."Don't work too much. You're not okay yet." I reminded Yasha. She's been resting for weeks now after she was discharged in the hospital. The doctor said she's okay but I can't let her drawn herself in her work again."I'm okay, Ax. I'll just do a photoshoot today, nothing more." She pleaded."It's still a no, Yasha Reese.""Axis, please? Allow me to work now, please? Baby, please?" She asked with puppy eyes and even clung her hands on my nape. What else can I do? I tsk-ed but she just chuckled."Promise. I'll take care of myself." She told me.I also enveloped her in my arms. She doesn't need to take care of herself because I will be the one doing that. I'll take care of this woman in my whole life. I don't want to see her hurting because it triples the pain I'm feeling if that hap
As soon as Kelly closed the door, my gaze turned on the things she left just earlier. I blazingly looked at the paper, took it and crumpled it hard.Ahh! Fuck!After that conversation with her, she never showed up again and for few days, the deal she offered me really bothered me.That's easy after all, isn't it? I have two choices. I will help her so Yasha will not be hurt or to opted otherwise. I'll just choose one of the two choices she said. It's easy, isn't it? But fucking shit, why does she have to involve others? And why is she really targeting Yasha?I know in life that there is no end to our problems. When you're solving the first one, another problem will come. It's an unending cycle and that what's happening to me right now.I was inside my room, thinking what should I do when Yasha entered my room."Hey, woman. What brought you—""We have a problem, Axis." She quickly cut me off. She took out her phone and she handed it to me aft
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
