Two weeks after...Amber woke up early and went straight to the kitchen. She saw that Melinda was also there. Since Amber already knows that Melinda is Stephen's cousin, Melinda sleeps in one of the guest rooms, and so does Amber. Stephen also hired two helpers for the three of them."Hey, good morning..." Melinda greeted Amber with a smile. Amber is also dressed for work. "It looks like you woke up early today. Stephen was still asleep, but I cooked for our breakfast," added Melinda."Yeah, I also have a lot to do, so I decided to wake up early even though he said he wouldn't leave early today," said Amber.Melinda smiled at her. "How about Carson? Did he, you know? Did you two talk?” Melinda asked, still embarrassed to ask Amber that.Amber smiled sparingly, "I'm sorry, Melinda. If you really want me to talk to him, I can't. Right now, I can't even talk to him nor face him," said Amber."I know. I heard from Scarlet that he cheated on you. I'm sorry; I didn't know that Carson could
Amber has been in their province for three days with her family, while Stephen, Melinda, and Scarlet also returned to the City without Amber. They told Amber they would revisit Amber and Amber's family, but that will not happen because Amber will return to the City and work today. Because Andrew woke up yesterday, but he still didn't speak. Amber didn't want to leave but had to work for Andrew's medicine and other things her family needed.Stephen paid all the hospital bills, but Amber was still uncomfortable; she didn't want to be indebted to anyone, so she thought she would deliver what Stephen paid to the hospital for her brother Andrew.“This, Amber. Bring it for Stephen, Melinda, and Scarlet, okay?” Her mother, Annie, hurried to her and handed over the Tupperware with only food for Stephen, Melinda, and Scarlet."Mon, what is this?" Amber asked."That's our specialty, give it to them. As for this, eat it on the road,” Annie said, giving Amber another paper bag containing the same
When they got to the living room, where Stephen's father, Jonas, was with their family friend, Amber was even more nervous."Everyone, can I have your attention, please?" Sandra began. She was still holding Amber's hand, and even though Amber wanted to take her hand out of Sandra's grasp, she couldn't."What is it, hon?" Jonas asked his wife.Sandra smiled at them all and turned to Amber. "This is my son's secretary and my niece Melinda's friend. She also lives here with my son and Melinda," Sandra said.Amber heard whispers from Stephen's family friends, which made her even more shy and nervous. Jonas's face was also severe, looking at his son Stephen, who didn't seem happy with what he did. mother"Oh, it's my first time hearing that a secretary can live under the same roof with her boss," said a businessman."It's my decision that she will live here. There is no problem because I told her so," Stephen said seriously."I need to talk to my son. Excuse me," Jonas said and left the li
A week passed, and the things that needed to be put in Amber's condo were arranged, and because of the help of Melinda and Scarlet, she didn't struggle too much. This week, she continued to go to work because she had to recover on the days she was absent."Miss Amber, I just want Sir Stephen to sign something. Can you please give it to him?" An employee approached her and asked.“May I know what that's all about?” Amber asked politely.The employee showed it, and it was about a charity ball that Stephen and the whole company were invited to attend. "I will call him first; I will ask him about this," Amber said with a smile."Okay, Miss Amber. Thank you. I'll just wait at my desk. Is it okay for you to give it to him?" the employee asked politely.Amber stopped for a moment because all she wanted to do was call Stephen using the intercom. "I will just call him and ask him about this. I will also ask if you can come in—”"No, Miss Amber. He will not allow anyone else to enter his office
Amber glared at Carson. They still had yet to leave their place earlier. Carson touched his cheek. His jaw tightened, and he looked at Amber, who couldn't believe what happened.“Go away, Carson. Before I would add another slap on your face," Amber said seriously.Carson's jaw tightened even more; he was angry at what Amber had done. “I'm not done yet, Amber. I won't stop until you come back to me…”He left after he said that; Amber touched the wall on her side and was clinging to her chest because of the anger and pain she was feeling. She looked at the palm that she used to slap Carson. It was red, and Amber still felt the pain there. As she struck Carson, her hands were also shaking. That she could hardly open the door immediately. She couldn't help but cry. She was angry. Carson still dared to say the words he said earlier.When she finally got inside her condo unit, she became weaker because she remembered what Carson had said while observing the entire unit. She thought maybe Ca
The next day, Amber went to the office early. And because her condo is close to the company, she just walked to it. Amber was carrying a paper bag containing food meant for Stephen. She just thought of cooking Stephen food for lunch. All she knows is that she is happy and wants to repay Stephen for being good to her.“Good morning!” Amber greeted passing employees and others she saw. It's still early, so few people are in the office yet.Others wondered what happened to Amber and why she was so happy."Miss Amber, it looks like you're in a good mood today? And you're early. Where, Sir Stephen? He is not with you?” Jessa wondered.Amber smiled at her. "He's not with me right now, and my new place is also close to here, and I'm in a good mood, so I went in early today," said Amber.Jessa nodded and asked Amber to go to the cafeteria for coffee. Still, Amber refused because she had something important to do. Jessa said goodbye, and Amber was left in her place. She prepared what she neede
The meeting ended, and Stephen went out first; Amber immediately followed him. Stephen went straight to his office. "What time is my next meeting? We're going to the site, right? To meet our architects and engineers?” Stephen asked Amber. "Yes, Sir. At three o'clock this afternoon," answered Amber. Stephen nodded and walked to his office's dining area. "It's about lunch; we should eat now so we can leave right after," Stephen said while looking at his watch. Amber also looked at her watch, and Stephen was right; it was almost 12:00 o'clock. Amber immediately took plates for her and Stephen. They started eating, and Stephen tasted Amber's cooked food individually. And while Stephen was doing that, Amber was just looking at him, nervous and waiting to see how Stephen would react, whether he liked it or not. "How was it?" Amber asked nervously. Stephen looked at her thoughtfully, making her even more nervous. "Hmmm, it's good," Stephen answered simply. Amber frowned. "It's good?
Stephen went home to their house after talking with Eduardo. Until he entered his room, what he and Eduardo talked about earlier still did not disappear from his mind.He remembered what happened again; two years had passed.FEEDBACK:Stephen is a Mafia leader in the organization called Philomena Organization. He formed this association with his long-time friends in college. They started as a small gang until he thought of expanding. They have done all the training. That organization lasted almost five years. They have done many activities, whether bad or good. The members of the Philomena Organization are different people; they are also labeled the rank 1 mafia group in all of Asia, and because of that, many are envious of them, making a way to bring them down. Still, because almost all the members were good, especially Stephen, who was good at leading them, the opponents failed to destroy them.But one day, Stephanie and her friend Leandra request to go on vacation to Thailand, and
The day came when my father woke up so we were all in the hospital, including Diego. He still has difficulty speaking but that is the only problem. The doctor said that he is slowly recovering so we can expect him to continue recovering. I haven't even told my father that I'm getting married because he hasn't spoken yet. So the first thing my mother and I did was prepare for the wedding."Do you think Dad would be angry if I told him?" I asked Diego. We left the hospital and Diego told Dad that we should stay with them first, he didn't even nod, he couldn't do anything because it was only right that they were close to me."He won't get mad, I am sure of that." I turned to him. I still can't imagine him being hands on in preparing for the wedding even though I can also see that he is busy with his own life. Occasionally I see him come out at dawn. We still haven’t shared the same room because that’s what my mom told us. If the two people are not married, do not share the same room."I'
“I just thought that you would cook for them. I wouldn't have eaten dinner but if you cook, I'll get home early. ” I stopped. I bit my lip because of what I heard from him, I was even more embarrassed because of that."If your walk is important and you can endure, I'll just leave for—"“No. I will come home early later and we will eat together. ” He cut me off and he smiled. I nodded slowly and let him do what he wanted because we might take a long time if we continued to argue.Once we entered the house, he also immediately entered his room and I told the helpers that I would cook, they said they would help me so I would cook more for everyone. I would first deliver the food to the hospital for mom and my brothers, and I would go back home to wait for Diego. All I cook is stew meat and grilled fish. He didn't say what he wanted so I'll take care of it. Dad taught me how to cook a lot of recipes when I was young. When they were still in good health, we had a small restaurant with us a
"Aren't you leaving?" I asked him. Earlier he accompanied me here to the hospital, until now Dad is not yet done with his operation.“I finished everything I did for this. Here, eat first. I also sent dinner to your family so don't worry. ” He sat down beside me after he gave me the food.I watched him. What is he doing? Is he still waiting for me to accept his offer? "Diego," I called. He looked at me and then I averted my eyes from him. I held his right hand which surprised him. "I have something to tell you.""What is it?" he asked seriously but the nervousness could be seen on his face. He was about to get off his hand but I held it tightly. “Why? Is there a problem with what you say? ” he asked. I bit my lower lip because I don't think his face can be painted anymore.“Nothing. I just want to say that I am now accepting the offer. ” His forehead furrowed so I was curious. Why? Doesn't he? “Why? I am accepting the offer, is that what you want, right? I just want to help you with y
Diego told me earlier that he would not leave me beside him, this is me now he is not with me."So, how long have you and Diego known each other?" Lucy, one of Diego's friend's girlfriends, asked me.They all asked me a lot of questions when the men were talking, and we women were left at the big table. I had no choice but to mingle with these social people."Just recently," I sparingly replied. I’m still embarrassed because I really feel like I’m not fit to be with them."What do you mean, just recently? As in, not long ago?" one asked, I forgot her name.How can I say that I will not be judged? Did Diego just use me to be with someone here or will Diego buy me to be his wife? Of course, that’s not what I’m going to say because that’s a shame on Diego and me."Six months," I said. They seem to believe. Until we talked differently, I just asked questions that could be told to them just so that not everyone would pay attention to me."Excuse me." I stood up and said goodbye to go to th
I don’t know what Diego wants to happen, he called my parents earlier to say that if I could be included anywhere. This is my parents, they happily accepted Diego's wishes, they allowed Diego to take me with them. So now, I’m here at his house to shop for clothes online because that’s what he ordered. I was with Mina, one of the helpers. She's at my age.“Don’t you like it, Ma’am?” She showed me the black dress and I am pretty sure that my chest would be obvious, the back was also open. She is beautiful but I don't know where Diego and I will go to wear this dress.“It is good, but I don't know where Diego and I are going, I will call him first and if I know what we are going for. We will be back. ”"All right, Ma'am." I turned from her and took the cell phone, I called Diego who immediately answered.“Hey, is there a problem? I'm going home in a minute,” he said calmly to me. I'm just tired because his voice seems to get better when he talks to me.“Mr. Diego Mariano, yes there is a
What is he saying? "What did you say?" I asked with a frown. What will he do to put me to sleep? Do I look like a child who should be put to sleep? "I'm going back to the room, continue what you're doing." I was about to turn around when I stopped because he called me.“If you can’t sleep, would you mind joining me?” I narrowed my eyes on him, looked at his whole being. Will he let me work out too? "I mean, what do you want us to do until you fall asleep.""You won't do what I want you to do—"“Except that thing, Janella. I don’t do that… not now. ” He already knew what I was talking about. I had no idea what to do. I looked at him wearing a top so I could breathe easily, he motioned for me to follow him into the kitchen.I accepted the wine he gave me. "This one will help you sleep, try it." I looked for a moment and tasted, the wine he gave me was delicious. It's apple flavored. I sat in front of him and he sat in front of me.I looked at him as he also poured wine for him. I took a
I don’t know how I got to his car without being forced. He was driving quietly and I was simply looking at him. Earlier he said, I could not speak and just sat on the bed, he was on the couch until the end of my work shift. We did nothing but look, not moving. He was always looking at his watch, he also suddenly pulled me out of the club. I haven't even talked to Miss Pim, Diego directed me to his car. I just texted Miss Pim that I was leaving and was with Diego, I am pretty sure she knew Diego was with me because she didn't tell me that Diego was the VIP customer. I was still wearing my bathrobe, I got my things right away and some of my colleagues even wondered who was pulling me but I didn't have time to explain everything to them.I was surprised to look out of the car when we entered the big gate, it was opened by two guards. "Where are we?" I asked him."In our house," he replied, so I was even more surprised. Seriously, the huge size of their house. Is it still a human's house?
It's time for me to go on stage. I was wearing my thin cardigan, the whole body was clearly visible just wearing little lingerie. I heard people shouting outside even before I climbed, they already knew the signal that I was coming out. The DJ will play a song for me and that's the sign for me to go up so people are already shouting."The star!" shouted by them.As I stepped up the stairs, I slowly took off my cardigan cover so the surroundings became even louder. I touched my body from my hip and walked to the front. They started throwing money away. I did nothing but accompany the music and let the money they threw on the stage. I walked to the pole and I started my dance. I do pole dancing. All this I was able to do for the money."Nothing faded, she's still hot." I heard one of the men say. I searched for that voice and when I saw it, I smiled at him. I walked towards them, I danced in front of them. I slowly removed my underwear and turned off the light there as well. Any gadget
After I finished my shower and cleaned up, I simply put on something. I wore a plain T-shirt and fitted pants. I had no idea where the two of us were going, and I had even more trouble saying we would be leaving now. It was his decision. I will be leaving later because I'm going to the club, and I'm sure Miss Pim will be surprised if she saw me. Since I have worked at this club for several years and I am used to doing my job in this world, I will not accept the offer."Where is Diego?" I asked Justine, my second brother, and he pointed outside the house, where I saw Diego turning around and seems he is talking to someone on the phone. I turned back to my two brothers, staring at them. "Help clean the house and then help Mom and Dad with work after you do your school works.""Yes ma'am!" they said together and laughed some more.I sighed and then left the house, waiting for him to finish. He looks busy with life, he still has time to go out. I hold the folder that contains the agreemen
