(Anj’s POV)Of all the emergency teams coming, Effie’s team came to rescue their family, but right now, it was less of my millions of concerns. I leaned my back on the seat’s backrest as I glanced at Effie, still on the phone as she checked on the patient with us.Looking at Sky, whose eyes were pinned on his father, I realized that this must be the first time it had happened in the family. His father must be furious at him, at us, for doing such a stupid thing. I wonder how Sister Grace will react or Aunt Rose. Anya will surely cry and blame herself because she is the one who insisted that I should come to the party. Dylan… Well, I don’t know how he would react.Effie placed her phone back in her pocket and looked at me. “What were you doing there?” She asked curiously. Her forehead knitted, probably wondering why I was there when I was supposed to be in the nursing home.“Doing good deeds?” I forced a grin, sounding unsure of my answer. She chuckled, shaking her head in disbelief an
(Anj’s POV)Sky looked at my bare feet when I returned the cell phone to him. He pursed his lips as he took his gadget and sat quietly beside me. I wished to comfort him, but I could feel his disgust for me despite being grateful. I decided to keep my mouth shut, crossed my arms to my chest to keep myself warm, and closed my eyes.The argument of whether it was wise to let the heart decide or not was still on. I would definitely tell Mrs. Antonetta about the problem of letting the heart think, and my present situation now is my solid proof. My heart is confused about whether I should leave or not. If my big brain had to decide, it would know I have done my part helping him and should go home. But my heart was still giddy, excited at seeing Sky and wanting to snuggle closer to him.“Sky!”We both raised our heads and turned in the direction of the voice. The woman I saw in their house, I think her name was Elenita, came in with Frank.“How’s your father?” She asked worriedly.“He’s fin
(Anj’s POV)“You are brave,” The older doctor said, looking at me with awe. We were in front of the ICU room, staring at the glass wall, watching Steve Mars in the bed sleeping.The doctor beside me is the chairman and personally attended to Mr. Mars’ needs, the hospital’s VIP. When Elenita told me he was the owner and the chairman, I didn’t want to believe her. He seemed young to be the chairman, but when she said that Dr. Greene was born a genius and became a doctor at a young age, I did not hesitate anymore.“Thank you,” I said meekly, looking down to my feet. “I was well-trained by my mother,” I bit my lower lip after my lie.“If you were not there, it might be too late for him,” he said, tilting his head and looking directly into my eyes, and amazingly, we have the same round brown eyes. “How old are you?”“Eight… Er… Nineteen. It was my birthday yesterday,” I lied again. When I return, the first thing I would do is confess to Father Jesse, and I could imagine already spending th
(Anj’s POV)“Wait!”I grabbed Elenita’s arm, pulling her back. “Where are we going?” I asked, still panting after running after her. We just got home, and now she told me we were leaving again.She raised her eyebrows at me, looking at my hand in her arm, burning me that I released her.“Shopping,” she answered. “I told you we can’t find your clothes and shoes, and you can’t wear one or two dresses.” She glanced at her wristwatch. “We must be home before dinner, so we’d better hurry.”I pretended to understand her and walked side-by-side with her.“You need to learn how to cook the food the way Sky liked them,” Elenita said as she got in the car. “You have to know what he likes and doesn’t like.”I nodded, plopping myself inside the car. “Did you know that I’m a Virgo, and he’s a Pisces?” I informed her, hoping she would get the message right away.She gave me a sullen look. “I don’t care if you’re not compatible, and I have no intention of knowing until when you decided to give up on
(Anj’s POV)I am not here to cook for Sky.I am not excited to do this for him.I am not learning chores for my husband.I am not… I sighed and shook my head as I looked at the apron Elenita gave me. Before coming here to the kitchen, I checked the recipe on how to cook it, but as she told me, Sky is very particular with the food he eats, not that he is picky, but perhaps his taste bud is different from ordinary people like me.“This is easy to prepare, but Sky will know if the crab meat is fresh or not,” she said as if the details were crucial for me to remember. “Wash your hands… and your face.” She added as she moved quickly around the kitchen, preparing the ingredients.As I wash my face, I hear Elenita talking to three maids in the kitchen, just asking them to prepare everything but leaving after that. When I was done, I was like a child that she tended to, fixing my hair into a ponytail and putting on the apron she gave me. The corners of my mouth almost lifted, touched by the f
(Anj’s POV)I breathed out, closing my eyes tight when he was near me, but then I felt him walking past me. Slowly, I turned my head in his direction, seeing him looking at the bookshelf as if looking for a file.“Take off that apron, Angela,” he snarled when I did not move. “It’s making you uglier.”“Ah!” I forced a smile, breathing in relief as I took off the apron in a hurry, but I froze again, gasping when I felt his lips on my ears as he stood behind me.“Why Angela? Are you thinking I was asking you to take off your clothes?” He whispered, breathing on my skin.I moved away from him and put my hands on my hips. “Of course not! I may look ugly, but you can’t deny I have a sexy body.”He scoffed as he walked back to his table but did not sit. “I can’t even remember your name, yet you sounded as if you wanted to tell me another lie,” he said as he flipped the folder, he took from the shelf.My eyebrows raised at him, shrugging my shoulders. “I’m not lying.”“Prove it!” He flickered
(Sky’s POV)When Angela left the study room and closed the door, I opened my eyes and walked to the coffee table where she placed the tray. I took the tray to the balcony and sat on the metal-decorated chair to enjoy the coffee and sandwich.I smirked as I sipped the coffee, tasting how different it was from the usual coffee Elenita or my secretary would prepare for me. I hate to admit it, but this is how I want my coffee. I tap the table with my fingers, allowing them to dance near the plate as I recall how we got crazy last night.The truth was Frank was adamant at first in taking us to a wedding officiant last night because he knew we were drunk, and we had no idea who the girl I was with the previous night, but we were too crazy about each other. I was too drunk that if she didn’t stop me, I wanted Frank to get out of the car just to indulge my desire to claim the innocent woman with me. I had to threaten my driver that I would take his scholarship and financial support if he woul
(Sky’s POV)Angela’s round eyes blinked as my palm covered her mouth, stopping her from screaming.“Don’t dare scream again, Angela. Olivia’s room is just next to mine,” I warned her. At first, I thought she pressed her lips to suppress herself from screaming, but I was wrong. She was trying to stop herself from laughing.I moved away from her but remained kneeling so my head would not bump the shelf of the cabinet. When I glanced at her, Angela was biting her bottom lip, and her face was so red, causing me to think all the red spots on her face had melted.“What now?” I hissed, wondering why my body was feeling hot.She swallowed hard and forced a chuckle as she puckered her lips, pointing at my shaft. We were in an awkward position, finding myself kneeling in between her legs, and my member was not even ashamed of getting hard in front of her.“Please, Sky, get out. Your manhood is tickling me,” she said, closing one eye and pressing her lips, and this time, she was avoiding laughin
