Yin went upstairs without any hesitation. His hands were on his pocket as he walked like Mafia boss. When he reached the second floor, the door from Mari’s room slammed loudly.He shook his head and continued walking towards Mari's room. He stood in front her door, unable to make a move.Meanwhile, Mari laid down in her bed, facing the ceiling. She was tired the whole afternoon and she felt she catch a cold outside. She didn’t wear her bonet earlier, so, the outcome was she’s having a runny nose.She was about to close her eyes when there’s a sudden knock on her door. She rolled her eyes and gets up before squeezing her noise and asked, “Who is it?”“It's me…” she heard him. "Yin..."When she heard about his name, she didn’t answer nor open the door. “What do you want? Didn’t I tell you to go home? Did I tell you to follow me in my room?” She asked, sarcasm flashed on her tone.“I… I just want us to talk,” His voice was longing and sound sad.“There’s nothing to talk, Mr. Montero!” Ma
Mari woke up around 10 o’clock in the evening. She still has a runny nose as she gets off the bed and go out of her room. Upon walking in the stair, she saw a built of a man in the couch in the living room.Her forehead furrowed. ‘What the hell? Did that insane bug didn’t go home?’ She questioned in her mind.She walked slowly and never intended to make a noise. She passed by in the living room and took a sudden glance of Yin then rolled her eyes as she walked towards the kitchen.She didn’t open a single light but with the help of the moon, she still can see where the refrigerator is. She opened it and bring some milk and water. She poured it on a glass and close the door.She was startled upon turning around when she saw Yin, his arms folded over his chest with a gloomy face and messy hair, a reason for her to almost spurt the milk on him.“W-What the hell?” She growled, angrily. “Why are you still here?!”He bit his lower lip. “Don’t shout. You’ll wake your brother.” He said, nonch
“He did really cook this, huh?” Mari mumbled.She reheat the soup and after a minute, she gets a spoon and taste it. She stay stilled, her head suddenly felt pain. She held her head and a few memories flashes on her mind.‘I made you a mushroom soup, babe.’‘Your favorite.’‘Oh, it tastes good.’She can picture out the memories in the kitchen but probably not in the kitchen of her own house. She closes her eyes as she groaned but then, her brother run towards her worriedly.“Hey, Riri! What’s happening?” Her brother shouted, worriedly.“What kind of memory is that? Who’s that guy?” she asked, trembling.Dave’s forehead furrowed. “What kind of memory? What guy?” He asked, nervously.Mari looked at him. “T-The guy… he called me ‘babe’ and he knows that my favorite is mushroom soup. But I didn’t have the chance to see the guy’s face.” she answered.Dave swallowed. “D-Did your memory…”“Brother, I don’t know the answer either but the guy in my memory has a big similarity with Yin… don’t t
"Where do you think you're going?" Mari asked him. "Don't turn your back on me when I'm still talking, asshole!"Yin pursed his lips, looking back at her with a smirk flashes on his lips. "I'm going to my company, the meeting is already ended right, Ms. Sandoval?" Sarcasm filled his voice.Mari rolled her eyes. "Oh, sure! You can go! As if I need you here in my empire." She pushed him away."Wait, Ms. Sandoval," Yin uttered. "You need me in the construction of your branch in Cebu, woman."Mari raised a brow at him. "Why would I need your help?" She asked, bluntly. "I didn't ask for your help, Mr. Montero. I can find some better architect rather than you and without your investment." Mari uttered with annoyance. Yin just chuckled at her words. "Sure! Should I pull out my investment in your company?" He questioned, arrogantly. " If you just knew, I hold the highest percentage of your company's assets. I can buy the stocks of your investors in just a snap." He added, seriously. "Additio
At exactly seven o'clock in the evening, Yin Hanzo is getting ready for his so-called dinner with Mari Sandoval but despite of his excitement, a playful scenery flashes in his mind."How can I tame your heart, Sandoval, hmm..." He thinks while facing his vanity mirror. "I'm handsome and attractive, nevermind the wealth because surely, you have tons of it." He talks with his reflection.He finished brushing up his hair, fixed his rolex watch and he's off to go at Elegantè restaurantè. While driving, a message was sent to his email informing that Mari has a reservation for two with complete details in it.He didn't replied back, he focused on driving. After a few minutes later, he arrived at the said restaurant. He parked his car in front serve as a parking lot for customers.Yin was greeted by a waiter, he just made himself emotionless."Any reservation, Sir?" The waiter asked him."Yes, and it is under Ms. Sandoval's name." He coldly answered."Oh! This way, Sir."The waiter assited h
Mari woke up late because of Yin last night. She wasn't sure if he went home safe and sound or not.Instead of thinking about him again, she rushed herself at the bathroom, take a quick bath and brush her teeth and at last, do her morning skin care to make her fresh and gloomy.She didn't have her breakfast, she ran off towards her car and drove fast until she reached her company. She was greeted by her employees but she remained quiet and didn't even bother to greet them back.Mari was welcomed with bunch of flowers in front of her office. Her forehead knitted, her gaze darkened."Harvey!" She shouted, loudly.Her secretary came, rushing. Fear flashes in his face. "W—What is it, Ms. President?" He asked, nervously.Mari pointed her fingers in front of her office. "What the fuck is this flowers doing here?!" Her thunderous voice echoed. "Do you think, I am dead already?" She sarcastically asked."No— Madam!" He answered.She felt weird and it creeps her out who sent a flowers from her
Mari woke up with a throbbing head. Her body feels weak and she couldn't even remember if she went home alone or what.She roamed around her eyes only to find out that she was in her bedroom. Her forehead is knitted when the door suddenly opens, her brother welcomed her with a tray in his hands."Good morning, princess," Dave greeted. "You should take a rest and don't force yourself to work," he uttered and slowly put down the tray in the bedside table.Mari massages her temple. "I'm good, brother. I just need to rest a little bit. I felt exhausted."Mari's brother sighed. "I'm sorry princess," he mumbled. "I should be the one handling the company; I should be the one exhausting myself to work..." He said, sadly.Mari shook her head. "I can manage, brother. I'm already sunk to work loads in the office." She answered, humbly."Still, you carry that burden in your entire life... when I decided to go abroad."Mari didn't utter a word. She sighed, shook her head and get the tray in her be
Mari has a lot of papers to check in her table when she hears a commotion outside her office. She creased her forehead, annoyed and stood up, walking towards her door.She opened it and she found Yin and her secretary, almost killing each other. She was shocked when Harvey punched Yin in the face."I told you many times, Mr. Montero, that the young Miss doesn't want to see you either visit her office!" Harvey growled, angry."And I told you, I will be seeing her with or without your consent! Who are you? She's not your girlfriend!""She wasn't my girlfriend and never will be but I have to warn you, Mr. Montero..." Harvey sharply eyed him. "Don't mess with the young Sandoval." He warned.Mari interrupted both of them. "What the hell are you doing here, Mr. Montero? Should I ban you in my company? File a restraining order?" She asks, raising a brow at him.Yin releases Harvey but before that, he pushes him which makes him stumble and slam on the ground."I'm not yet done with you, assho

Just die.Just die.Just die.Those words echoed from Yin's mind. He wasn't prepared with those words but it hit him so much."Dying is not my thing, Mari. I hope you know that." He whispered, "...If you wish that to happen, just kill me then." He added.Mari run away from that insane bug and she was brought by her feet to the skating rink in the playground.She smiled, despite arguing with Yin earlier. She watched the kids playing in the rink. Her heart flutters when a kid give her a quad skates."Come, try it." The kid smiled at her.She ruffled the kid's hair and giggled. "Alright, let's try it." She said and sit. "Let's see if I can still skate..."When she finished fixing the Quad skate, she held the kid's hand and they both went to the skating rink.Although, she wasn't fond of skating for the past years, she still had it perfect and elegant. It looks like she's performing into National competion but there's a twist, she's holding a kid.Kids and parents were watching as they cl
Tuesday morning, Mari went down the stairs but before that, she took a quick peck at the window and smiled as she saw children playing in the snow.It’s winter, that’s why she felt the cold gentle breeze of the wind last night. It is the start of the winter season. She heaved a sigh and thought again of what clothes she would wear for tomorrow.She’s wearing a crop top jacket paired with her pajama while yawning. Upon walking, she heard voices from the living room. Her forehead creased as she saw a guy, wearing a tux and she couldn’t recognize him until her brother noticed her.“Hey, little sister. Good morning.” Her brother was greeted.The guy turned around and Mari rolled her eyes. ‘The annoying insane bug is here. Why is he connected to my brother?’ she thought in mind.“There’s no good in morning,” she passed them and went to the kitchen.“Mari don’t you want to join us here?” Dave asks.Mari scoffed, flashing her deadly glare. “Oh, I would rather just eat alone than lose my appe
"Move... or I'll strangle you to death," Mari murmured when Yin blocked her way.He met her sharp gazes. "What the hell are you doing?" He asked, coldly. "In a club, late at night?" His tone sounds sarcastic.Mari scoffed. "Do you have a problem if I go clubbing? Who are you to question me, huh?" She fired back. "Back off, Montero." She said and passed him but he caught her arms."Let me go!" she struggle."What the hell are you here, Mari?! Does your brother know this?!" He yelled.Her eyes were expressionless. "The hell you care? Go to hell and meet Satan there, insane bug!" She bragged and clutched her arms.“What did you just call me?” Yin ask, nonchalantly. “Do I look like a bug on you?”Mari smirked. “I called you an insane bug, you’re an eyesore. And yes, you look like a bug who keeps on pestering me!” she blurted, sardonically.Yin swallowed a lump in his throat, clench his jaw and sharply throwing a deadly glare at her. “I am not Yin for nothing, Sandoval. I can bug everyone;
When Mari entered her office, she was startled when she saw him again, none other than Yin Montero, sitting on her swivel chair, looking pretty cool with his tux.“What on hell are you doing here?” She asks, coldly. “Again, what the heck are you in my office?”Yin stand up, making a sound of his tongue. “I want to visit you,” he snorted.She scoffed. “Why would you visit me? I told you countless times, I don’t want to see your face inside my premises.” still, her voice was cold.“By the way, good morning!” Yin greeted, awkwardly.She rolled her eyes at him, “There’s no good in the morning, shut your mouth.”“Oh, I want my mouth…” he trailed off and look down at her chest. “In between your thighs,” he added, huskily while licking his lower lips.“Pervert!” she hissed.He laugh, sardonically. “I ain’t pervert if it wasn’t you,” he muttered.Mari crumpled her fists, throw her bag on his face. “Jerk, get out of my office…” she gasps, “… or I will be the one to drag your ass out of my buil
Yin laughed annoyingly in his car. Mari left him alone again with pain in his chest."You're stupid, Hanz..." He whispered. "Still chasing a woman who doesn't even remember you," he scolded himself."She wasn't the woman you knew; she's far different from before." He added. "It's your fault, you give her reasons before." His voice trembled, reminiscing the past.He opened his eyes and slammed the steering wheel of his car. He was frustrated and he couldn't even suppress his emotions.He was about to open up the engine of his car when his phone rang. He knitted his forehead, took his phone and unregistered number flashes on his screen."Hello? Who's this?" He asks, seriously.'Oh, hi there, Montero.' A guy replied."Who are you? What do you want?" He coldly asks.The guy from the other line laughed. 'Can't remember me, dude? It's Dave, Mari's brother. Meet me at the G-high palace.'His forehead knitted. "D-Dave?"'Right. Meet me there, asshole. We'll talk something about my sister.' Da
Mari had a little chitchat with her friends at the Night club. She's wearing a backless black silky dress that hugs her curves. She looks dashing tonight and the electrifying lights of the club were matched into her skin."Hey, Miss," someone called her.She glances at the stranger. "Yes? Do we have a problem?" She asks, confusedly.The guy took a piece of paper inside his pocket and handed it to her."Read it," the guy uttered.Mari raised a brow. "Why would I read it? I don't know why you are giving me this piece of—" the guy cut her off."Someone instructed me to give that to you, Miss," the guy blurted, annoyed. "That someone is watching you, so, read his message." And the guy left her, hanging and confused.She knitted her forehead; roamed around her eyes as the piece of paper creeps her out. She heaved a sigh and went to their table.Good thing, her friends were on the dance floor, exploring, having fun and hanging out with someone else.She rolled her eyes before reading the le
