Bethy Hillstorm*

Damn it! I hastily get off Emilio’s lap and straighten my shirt.

"M-Mom!" Emilio himself is also surprised at her sudden visit. And worst she seemed to have heard our conversation. I look down to the floor wanting it to swallow me. I feel so embarrassed to look at her now.

"Hannah, what deal were you talking about?" Mrs.

Mendez firmly asks and I force myself to look at her.

But Emilio grabs my hand as he steps forward in a protective stance.

"Mother, I will explain. Leave Bethy out of this." Emilio sternly replies while squeezing my hand trying to assure me.

"Mi amor, you better."

Emilio turns to me and he smiles. "Bethy, I got this, okay? You have nothing to worry about. Now, leave us first and I will…”

"No, I want to be here."

"Bethy, please..

I look at his pleading eyes but it doesn't thaw my resolve to face his mother even with the trembling fear creeping into my body.

"Emilio, we both agreed to that deal. I want to be here with you. Let's face her together."

    Bethy Hillstorm*I look away from Emilio speechless at Mrs. Mendez sudden question. Honestly, Emilio and I have never talked about that."Mother.” Emilio reprimands and Mrs. Mendez seemed to have gotten the clue."Oh, sorry, dear. My bad." She stands up. "Ill leave you two behind then. No need to see me out.Enjoy!" She winks at us and strolls out.I bite my lip trying to avoid his gaze. Damn it.I feel my cheeks blushing."Bethy.”"Hmm?" I look down at my fingers."Hey, look at me, please." Emilio cups my cheek forcing me to look at him. He heaves a deep sigh."Baby, we'll take it slow, if that's what you want.Let's not pressure ourselves, okay?"He's right. We can just focus on our present status and let our love flourish through time. I nod and he plants a soft kiss to my forehead."Your mom... I can't believe she knew all about it." I whisper.Emilio shrugs. "It turned out well so let's not worry about it anymore. Mom's right. That was right, That was all in the past. As long as

    Bethy Hillstorm*"W-What do you mean?" I ask, my voice undoubtedly weak and my mind in a muddle trying to process what I heard."Did he tell you how he killed her?"Kyla looks concerned and a bit surprised that I have no idea at all. "He didn't tell you he was chasing my sister in the car when they got an accident?"I slowly shake my head. Emilio only told me that Clair was in a car accident but he never mentioned that he was with her at the time of the incident."Emilio and Claire got into a fight that night.Before they boarded the car, I was on the phone talking to my sister and she was telling me how Emilio was mad and they argued about something that Claire wouldn't tell me. Hours after our phone call, we received news that the car she was riding on collided with another out-of-control truck.Claire was driving and died on the spot. Emilio on the other hand," Kyla slows down as if trying to control her impending emotions. "He ... he got a few bruises and fractures but he recover

    Bethy HillstormI nervously fumble with my fingers as I walk insideEmilio’s Villa. Lucas was at the entrance waiting for me when I arrived and he said I would find Emilio at the balcony.I walk into the foyer then stop at the sight before me. Even in my nervous state, I could not help but gasp in awe at the evident effort in dolling the place up giving off a romantic vibe.Candle lights are lined along the floor leading to the balcony. Red helium balloons are hanging in the ceiling and a soft and gentle music is playing in the background. I suddenly feel out of place due to my appearance. I only thought we would have a simple dinner together so I didn't dress up and just put on some jean and turtleneck sweater."Bethy." I hear Emilio’s gentle voice and I look up to see him standing at the balcony. He looks so breathtaking in his black suit and his face is glowing under the moonlight as he lovingly smiles down at me. His dashing appearance renders me speechless for a moment as he come

    Bethy Hillstorm*"You're not going anywhere, Bethy. I've already instructed Lucas to get you a few clothes." Justin firmly declares and I sigh for the fifth time.When he told me that Clare has no siblings, I gaped at him in pure shock. I couldn't believe that I got deceived. He then asked me to tell him in detail how I met this certain Kyla. I told him everything and I watch as his face gradually become grim and a dark aura is beginning to descend around him as I describe how Kyla looked. I really thought she was Claire’s sister since they looked alike."Emilio, you're over reacting. Maybe she was just fooling around." But even I could not believe myself. She definitely was not fooling around. I saw how she looked so certain and confident telling me that story as if she really was Claire’s sister."Bethy, she's not someone who fools around.""Then tell me, who is she?" I ask again. I've been asking him about Kyla since he seemed to have recognized her by my description.Emilio sighs.

    Bethy HillstormI grip my chest in utter shock as I read the text message again. I had hoped it would disappear and maybe my eyes are pulling tricks on me but the large black words showing in my screen are clear asday.Break up with Emilio or die a miserable death!Who the hell would send me a message like this?There aren't that many people who knew about my relationship with Emilio. Mrs. Mendez, Lilian and Lucas are the only people who knew about us.Could it be Kyla? But that's impossible. kyla seemed like a nice delicate girl who wouldn't hurt a fly when we had a small talk the other night.Oh, right, she lied about one thing but would she go this far?My hands are already shaking in panic and I curse under my breath. Suddenly, I'm thankful I'm in the comfort of my own apartment and Emilio’s security men who are outside. Slowly, I calm myself down.Supposingly, the sender is Kyla. Would she really kill me? Did she mean it literally or what?What if she would harm Emilio? I know t

    Lucas*“Lucas, get back in. We're going to my villa." My boss, Emilio suddenly orders me as I was about to get out of the car after parking at the basement of his company. I just got back from driving Bethy to her apartment and I came here straight away.Mr. Mendez hurriedly gets in and without a word, I start the car and obediently drive off. I could sense something is wrong judging from his tense aura.His jaw is clenched tightly and his eyes seem to be burning with fury."Hi babe!" I glimpse at him through the rear view mirror when he suddenly exclaimed happily and his tense aura is gone. Instead, a smile is plastered in his face and his eyes are radiant. He's speaking to his phone and I bet that would be Miss Hillstorm on the other line. Who else would make him calm down in a second?"Uh, I forgot some files in my villa. I'm just gonna pick them up.I frown. He would have called me instead or sent his secretary to pick them up for him in case he forgot some files. But he rarely fo

" Any news about any accomplice this time?""There were none, Mr. Mendez.""Have you finished securing Bethy’s apartment?" "Yes, sir. The bomb was completely extracted. The place is safe now."I hear Emilio sigh."Mr. Mendez," I recognize Lucas voice. "I really think you should get some sleep."What? He hasn't slept yet? What time is it?I hear a door closing and silence followed.I slowly open my eyes and a white spotless ceiling greets me. I blink trying to make my eyes get accustomed to the sudden brightness. I move my head to the side from where I heard the voices."E..Emilio... “ I whisper.He was sitting at my bedside and he immediately leaped to his feet when I called out."Bethy!" His face is beaming with relief as he looks down at me with glossy eyes.I give him a weak smile and a

    Bethy Hillstorm*“Please marry me Bethy.”I cover my mouth with my uninjured hand as I gape at him. "Emilio, I..."I can't wait anymore, Bethy. This unfortunate event made me definitely see that it's you who I want to be with for the rest of my life. I can't take it anymore if I lose you again. I want to make you mine officially and protect you with my life.”Tears brim my eyes as I gaze onto him. Here I am, who just woke up with messy hair and in a cluttered state yet here he is, so fresh and elegant while declaring his love for me."Emilio..I, oh my gosh." I bite my lip nervously."Aren't you rushing things a bit ...?" I grasp his hand to assure that he doesn't get the wrong idea."I mean, we've just known each other for like what, less than two months and ...and I-""Bethy, we got a lifetime to know each other more."I sigh. My brain is literally in a haywire. This seems so fast and I admit I got surprised to the highest degree. I just got shot and now a proposal is in the air waiti

I was trying to control my tears the whole car ride. This time I broke down, they started flowing down, I couldn't control my tears anymore. I started hitting his chest."I hate you.""I hate you."He held my hands pulling me close to him he said"Who put this thing in your head that I loveLolita?""Why would anyone have to put this in my head? I know it." I said sobbing."First calm down. How did you know it?""S-She was with you in y-your office today.""Today? When?""When I called you in the morning, she picked up the call.""You called me?" He asked in confusion. I nodded."I was not in my office in the morning." He said making me confused now.

    Lilian Chaser*I was peacefully doing my work when her thought comes flushing in my mind.I sighed and kept the phone back on the table. I really want to see her in that dress. Waiting till the evening is really making me impatient.This girl is killing me, when after so much I finally started avoiding her why did she had to wear something like that in the hot tub. I wanted to take her so badly right then and there. I don't know if she is doing this purposely or not but if she continues this I am sure I will lose control over myself.Taking her out of my thoughts, I focused on my work again. When I was finally done, I looked at the timing to see it was 6 already, so I decided to return home. When I reached home, I saw Junior studying like an obedient child and trying to understand what his tutor was saying. I smiled looking at him and made my way upstairs. When I entered the room I found Lilian applying makeup. I cleared my throat, she froze. I went in, and waited for her to say somet

    Lilian Chaser*He shook his head. "No. You were right I was selfish. I just thought about Junior and not about your life. In fact, you should hate me after everything I have done. I deserve it. I wasn't ignoring you Lilian, I was just staying away from you so that you don't get hurt or cry because of me again.""Jason.”"I have caused enough pain to you Lilian because of my selfishness.""N-No." I shook my head.He smiled, a sad smile. "Yes. So, if me staying away from you makes you happy and if it doesn't hurt you then be it like that. I won't force you to do anything.I’ve done enough.”With that he left the pool, leaving me there alone in confusion.He is not serious. Right?I told him that I said that because I was angry.Will Jason leave me too?My mom died while giving birth to me, then my dad got locked up unjustly, then Nanny left me and now Jason too?Just the thought of that scared me, I stumbled back and my back hit the wall."No, he can't leave me.

    Lilian Chaser*I turned around with a smile. He came near me and frowned. "You were crying?" He asked.I shook my head and knelt in front of him. "No baby, why would I cry?""No, I saw you crying.""But I wasn't crying.""Yes you were. Don't lie to me.""I am not lying to you. Maybe you were just seeing things."Really? Am I?" He asked lost in his thoughts.I was just praying that he didn't see carefully. I nodded."Maybe." He shrugged, his face lit up again. "You know I found something while I was riding.""Really?"He nodded with a wide smile on his face. "See."He brought his hand in front when my eyes fell on a rose. "A red rose?""Shh... don't tell anyone, I saw it and I plucked it from the garden, you like Rose so I thought to give you this.”I smiled. "Aww... you know you are the best. I love you and thank you.""Welcome. Mommy now I am all sweaty sweaty, I'll go and take a shower."I nodded. Giving me the rose he ran to his room. I was making my way to my room when someone cal

    Jason Chaser*"Oh baby, how long are you planning to make him wait?"Lilian sighed and pecked my lips. A victory smile plastered on my face and I release her. She ran to the door and opened it. Junior came inside and gave a suspicious look, looking between me and Bella."I was knocking from that time, why weren't you opening?" He asked Lilian."Umm... w-we a-actually." Lilian stuttered then glared at me. I smirked."Baby we were actually sleeping." I replied."Yes we’re s-sleeping. We were sleeping.""Till now?" He asked."Yeah.” I replied getting up from the bed. "Now I'llgo and get cleaned up while little one, you go and wait downstairs. After the breakfast I have something to show you."Junior’s face lit up. "Really! What Dad?""That's a surprise."He frowned. "I hate surprises." I chuckled.After the breakfast, I took Junior outside, Lilian was following us while Junior was jumping out of excitement."Dad what is it?""Look there."

"What are you doing hereCartel?" I asked in an angry tone."Had some work to finish." He said giving an evil smirk to Jason.What the hell is going on?"Just get out." Jason said in a calm tone."How can I, Mr. Chaser when I am being blamed of something I haven't done." He said with the same smirk on his face."What are you talking about?" I asked."Oh Lilian, you are so innocent, to fall for anyone's trap without even thinking." Cartel said."You know what, Jason is right, just get out. I don't want to know anything, you are the reason and cause of Nanny death.”"Actually in a way you can say that, but what about the truth that she hid from you." Cartel said shamelessly, like Nanny's death didn't matter tohim."What truth?" I asked in confusion. He smirked."That's it. Lilian, I think you should go back, I'll talk

    Lilian Chaser*"That's Angela." A voice came from behind me. I turned around to see Jason standing leaning against the door. His coat and tie both were off, he was wearing a dark blue shirt with sleeves rolled up and the first two buttons of his shirt were undone giving me the view of his tanned collarbones.I stared at him for sometime.Why is he telling me this? He was the one who decided to avoid me.He came inside the room, and stood in front of me looking at the picture with a smile on his face.Without saying anything I decided to just leave the room. I was about to leave but when I passed Jason he held my wrist."She is my sister. Actually was."Jason then held my waist pulling me closer to him, I felt my heart beating faster. I haven't still got used to him being so close, it feels the same everytime, the unusual heartbeat. Resting his head on my shoulder he continued "we loved to paint.""Jason you don't have to-"Ignoring what I was saying Jason continued "And she wanted to p

Show it to me first."She then peeped in my neck, I tried to hide it but I failed she pulled my arm pulling me closer, then she eyed at the spot properly. "This is a mosquito bite?" she asked in confusion.I looked down biting my lip. "Junior, this is a mosquito bite. But I don't think the mosquito was poisonous so your Mommy is so safe." She smirked looking at Jason.Jason eyes furrowed, he looked at the spot carefully then realised what it was. He cleared his throat."Dad you need to see through this matter.""Y-Yeah, I-I will." Jason said then drank the whole juice in one go.I was in the rooftop, sitting on the couch lost in deep thoughts. Junior was studying as his tutor was here. After last night I haven't got the chance to talk to Jason, All the time I was either with Junioror we were all together.It does matter to me, last night what happened. It was m

He then looked at me "Did you find anything else?"I shook my head."It has to be him." he mumbled looking at thepaper."What? Who?" I asked.He looked at me "I can't say properly but I think it has something to do with Nanny’s brother.”"But she was his sister.""I know but he was the only one in the house who was staying with her and why so suddenly she would decide something like this when everything was going fine.""So what are we gonna do about it?"Jason took a deep breath and gave the letter back to me "Don't worry I'll look into it."I nodded still thinking that why would he have something to do with all this.Jason held my hands in his, "Trust me Lilian."I just stared in his eyes.I do trust him.
