2021-03-09 17:42:12I was prepping to leave the site at 7 when my secretary a 40-year-old Helen rushed to me. I am really thankful for her because she also stayed late at work since the incident happened. I promised to compensate her after we resolved the problem.
"Mr. Williams, one of the victims died 15 minutes ago," she reported. She added that the wife requested my presence in the hospital or else she will call the media and inform them about the incident.
Right away, I went to the hospital to talk with the wife about her demands in the situation. It was already 10 in the evening and we were still in the midst of a discussion. Truthfully, I felt exhausted and wanted to go home.
She won’t agree with our offers and after our lawyer explained some statements from the documents, she got hysterical. We tried to comfort her but she kept on pushing and forcing us. We couldn't blame her as we understood her emotions and the unbearable pain inside her.
Suddenly, my

I told them the truth that for me, the incident that put us together in one roof was a blessing in disguise. I apologized to Alex that I made him furious about what happened but I insisted that I wanted her back. I explained that I wasn’t able to admit or express my true feelings for her because I’m afraid that our ties and business would get affected. I’m ashamed of my words to him when I assured him that I will only treat her as my sister. I expounded that from being an adorable kid, she has grown up into a beautiful woman -and that’s undeniable. I tried to distance myself but I failed because I couldn’t suppress my attraction and affection towards her. I couldn’t deal to hold my feelings and I want to marry her. "I love her," I confessed Awed by what I had said, Alex with a parted lips couldn't form any word. “Oh is that so?" Arriana spoke surprisingly. "I am right," she clasped her hands. The three of us furrowed our brows in confusion. "I had an im

***Allessandra*** A year and a half passed and New York helped me a lot to move on. I've been working in Matthew's real estate company because Bella suggested that I should. She explained that it would be a great diversion so that I wouldn't focus on my heartache. Before I accepted her offer, I insisted that I wanted to start from the lower position to understand the business more than to jump into a higher job position. I wanted to learn and have knowledge about business in general. She gave me the position of administrative support with a quite good salary from the company and I felt like she's biased because the salary is too much compared to others. "So how are you?" Bella asked. We were sitting on the couch watching some romance movie. "I mean have you gotten over Chadrick?" she looked me intently in the eyes. “I guess?” I replied reluctantly. “I know you need more time so take it slow," she patted my back. "Eventually you won’t get affected anymore”

Few months passed and everything was just fine. "You ready?" Bella asked while putting on her lipstick. "Yes," I replied because I know she didn't want to get late for work. In a week, I’ll be home for Dad’s birthday and I felt nervous. But before anything else, I needed to sort all my pending documents so that I wouldn't get issues with them when I get back. She suggested we should drop by Gregg’s office before we proceed with our regular work assignments. He is her cousin who helped and trained me when I was just starting my job. She wanted to check on him after he and her fiancé broke up a week ago. The reason was terrible because “Holy mother of crap!” the woman ran away with someone else. We entered the lift and pushed the 17th button. As we reached his floor, we waved and said hi to the receptionist who was full smiles as she saw us approaching. We went towards his office and from the outside, his secretary welcomed us. She knocked at the door and we hear

Seated on an airport bench, I informed Andrew that our arrival is at two in the afternoon. He's going to fetch us and we'll check-in at a hotel nearby dad's birthday venue. Party is about to start at 7 so certainly, I can rest a bit before dolling up. On our flight, Gregg and I talked about life and circumstances. He said that you should teach yourself to become a warrior than a princess because life is definitely a battlefield. If you're struggling in the reality of life, his thoughts could help a lot to uplift your day. I told him that his words and encouragements are like rainbows after every storm. Our plane landed at Chicago International Airport on time. As soon as I checked my phone, Andrew's message flashed on my screen. He informed us that he's outside waiting for us to come out and it excites me. The moment we went out of the airport, I instantly acknowledged Andrew on the left side of the waiting area. He was happily waving at us with full smiles a

I stopped when I was in front of him. We kept on staring at each other like it was just the two of us in the place and everything's in slow motion. I felt like my chest pumped in an abnormal rhythm. Though the music was on at the function, it was like I couldn't hear anything. A lot of memories flashed back to me and it was hard to breathe. “Did I really try to forget my feelings for him?" I asked myself. My mind was in chaos because as I looked him in the eye, I could tell it's different. My legs were shaky but I kept my composure as possible as I could. “Hi,” he spoke but didn't remove his gaze from mine. I could tell that he was quite nervous. “Hi” I replied. I smiled a bit cheerful to masks my fast-beating heart. I felt like my chest will explode like a bomb in front of him. There's a feeling inside me that I really would love to hug and kiss him. I felt like crying because I couldn’t do it freely anymore. Everything between us has changed and I didn't kn

The previous night's happenings made me tired. I felt tired not because of Dad’s party but because of my chaotic emotions. That night was a roller coaster because it made my heart pound so hard. I sighed and buried my face in the palms of my hand. I slouched on the couch in my room and contemplated. I heard someone knocks on my door and it was my mom calling for breakfast. Mom was serving me my favorite food and the happiness on her face was clearly visible. Dad cleared his throat “Princess would you like to work and handle some of our businesses?” he sounded so tender and the looked in his eyes was more on hoping for me to say yes. “Dad I’m coming back to New York in three days because I have a job there,” I replied and mom looked at me with a sad expression. “Have you and Chad talked already?”Mom asked carefully. I inhaled a deep breath “We saw each other last night and we said our Hi’s,” I spoke nonchalantly. “Oh, that’s all?” she responded like sh

I was sitting comfortably on the couch when mom and dad joined me for us to have some bonding moments. Mom kept on hugging me like she was accounting for all the months that I’m away. Dad threw a lot of questions about my life in New York and I answered all of them happily. He couldn't believe that I was able to leave them for so long. Dad persuaded me to stay but I decided to go back. I could say that I’m still affected when Chadrick is around. I was so busy talking to them when my phone quivered. Actually, it was the third time around. I reached for it and saw Bella’s name flashing on the screen. "Hey, bitch!" I sounded so lively. She was silent and in a few seconds, I heard her cry. She whispered my name and I felt alarmed that something horrible happened to her. “Bella, what’s wrong?” my heart pounded nervously. She was sniffing “Mom got into an accident” she revealed and did not stop her sobs. I shushed “I’m coming,” I blurted quickly before we dropped the call.

ALLESSANDRA In our apartment, I was busy preparing for our breakfast in the kitchen. Bella was prepping to go to the hospital as she wants to be with her mom most of the time. I heard our doorbell ring and she was quick to open it. It was Gregg with those beautiful flowers again for the two of us. I could definitely say that flowers really have an immediate impact on happiness. It could lighten our mood from being anxious, depressed, or sad. We felt delighted by his wonderful gestures. I offered him coffee and before I could give it to him, I accidentally splashed some on his shirt. “Damn it! I’m so sorry!” I apologized for my stupidity. I ran to the closet and offered him a bathrobe so that I could quickly wash and dry his shirt. When I got back, I sighted and heard them discussing something about business. A lot of workloads had been added to their shoulders to carry on because of the fearful incident. Bella bid her goodbye to us after she gob

No one could babysit her because our helper went to his family for a special occasion. When I stepped inside the house, I saw my daughter running to us happily. Chadrick carried and hugged her tightly because he missed her so much. When we were at the function, he wanted to go home early just to be with his daughter. "I missed you, my princess! Let's get home," I told her but she shook her head. "Grandy!!" he called for her grandfather to get her from us right away. Chadrick and I looked at each other confused about what was happening to her. "Princess, it's getting late c'mon say goodbye to Granny and Grandy," that was Chadrick persuading her.

I was sitting on the couch watching a drama movie - as always because it's my favorite genre when I felt something wet and weird. Chadrick!!! I called my husband when I saw liquid dripping down my legs. He rushed to me and asked if something's wrong. I told him that my water broke and we need to go to the hospital. I could feel the contractions and pain and surely, it was time. He carried me bridal style to the car since the bag we prepared for my delivery was already placed in the compartment. "Are you okay?" he asked when we are in the delivery room because he saw me enduring an excruciating amount of pain. I was lying on the delivery bed sweating hard and wincing in pain with my face tear-stricken. Chad held my hand and planted a kiss on my temple. "Baby, I'm just here, we can do it," he whispered with encouragement. Doctor Howard instructed me to endure one long push and I took a deep breath before doing it. I held my husband's hand and my grip tightened

Six months passed our wedding and we were so busy doing our own thing. I managed to start my own flower shop business and hired a quite number of people. Chadrick has a lot on his plate because of his new projects but he never made it an excuse to not give me attention every day. Indeed, he learned his lesson before and I felt so happy about it. I was sitting on our bed with my head leaning on the headboard while watching a romantic drama movie. I could say that I'm enjoying crunching a bowl of popcorn. The bathroom door was pushed open and Chardrick got out in his towel after a quick shower. Surprisingly, I cried and he came closer in panic. "Baby, what's wrong?" he asked worriedly. I sniffed "The man in the movie cheated on his wife. Why do men cheat?" I was upset looking at him. He hissed "Baby, it's just a movie. Not all men are cheaters," he consoled and caressed my shoulder. "You men always say that but you're all liars," he stunned at my reaction. "You should

I felt so nervous standing in front of the church to walk down the aisle. When the door was pushed open, I started to move forward slowly. Mom and Dad were waiting in the middle for me to reach them and to escort me through the altar. All eyes were on me in my mermaid wedding dress which extremely fitted in my slender figure. The moment I stopped in front of my parents “I can’t believe my baby is getting married,” that was Dad. He was really emotional since the beginning of the day, unlike Mom who couldn't hold her grin in full excitement. When we were nearing the altar, I could see my entourage in full smiles and giggles. When I looked at Chadrick, his lips were trembling and his eyes brimming in tears. He was an undeniably handsome and charming groom in his three-piece suit. In front of him, Dad tapped his shoulder “It’s awkward that from now on, you’ll call your business partner, Dad,” he chuckled while Mom laughed beside me. The priest commenced t

She looked at me like she was hesitant to tell so I brushed it away and changed the topic. "So, how long are you working in the company?" out of my curiosity. "I was employed three weeks ago," she disclosed. I realized that was why she got scolding because she's crawling and not that expert yet. "Anyways, It's so nice to meet you, Faith," I pressed her hand softly "I guess we could be friends from now on," I smiled but she stilled. "I'll be visiting the office often and I'll see you around," I bid goodbye because I knew Chad is waiting for me. When I got back, I saw Chadrick standing beside my table. I smiled at him and asked if he's waiting for too long. He only replied for me to take my time. I picked up my bag for us to go but not before making sure the stuff of Helen was back in proper place neat and clean. Chadrick and I were walking out of the office with his hands at the back of my waist. I sighted some employees smiling at us and some were wishing a g

No one was able to answer him and they just bowed their heads. “What’s the problem here?” I know he sensed that something’s odd so he introduced me to them. “Everyone, this is Allesandra Taylor, my fiancée," he held my hand "she’s the daughter of Alex Taylor our business partner," he informed calmly. "I just want to let you know that we are getting married soon so you might see her often in this office," he added. All the people in the room were surprised to know me. The woman who was furious a while ago stared at me unable to form a word in disbelief. I saw her face was burning in embarrassment. I was hoping she learned her lesson to not judge people easily and be a good leader to her people. “Baby, you’re just here," he pulled me out of that room. "I thought something happened to you because you're not answering your phone,” he sounded worried. "Sorry I left my phone on my table" I apologized briefly. When we got back to his office, he tugged me to the couc

I hurriedly called Bella after reading her message and she quickly picked it up in two rings. "Spill the tea!" I sounded lively but I heard her breathed out. "Marco's girl left without a trace and he's devastated," she unveiled. We talked for few more minutes and I shared my observation about him before I left New York. I was right that he's in a dilemma over his woman. But I believed he could definitely overcome his pain and eventually move on because he's a strong person. *** It was my first day to assist Chadrick in his office and I find everything running smoothly. Whenever I felt like I needed to use a bathroom, I choose the one outside to refrain from seeing him in his office because we might end up kissing each other. Whenever I stepped inside his office, he couldn't stop himself away from me. I'm afraid we could get naked in no time and couldn't finish the work effectively. In the afternoon, I left him a message that I will go downstairs to get

"What is it, Helen?" he asked right away. She narrated that her daughter was rushed to a hospital because she's about to give birth. She said her due date will fall not until next week but it's happening so soon. Chadrick permitted her to take a break and help her daughter in the meantime because the husband was out for his navy duties. She thanked Chadrick for his understanding and compassion. She did not waste more time and left the office immediately. Chadrick sat down to his executive chair and sighed. Worry was clearly visible on his face "What's wrong?" I caressed his arm. He pulled me to sit on his lap "It's hard to work without Helen's help for two weeks," he sniffed on my neck. I hummed "I can help in her absence," I sounded playful. "Will you?" he pulled out from my nook and looked me intently in the eyes. "In one condition," I twisted my lips. "Baby, what is it?" he furrowed his brows. I smiled at him "Don't tell anyone about us," which made him frown. I tol

I felt ashamed and if my feeling could kill, I would definitely be six feet under the ground. I thanked God for giving me a cool mom but I never expected him to give me the coolest one. Or I might say the craziest mom one could ever have. I shook my head and buried my face in the palm of my hands. I was really tired after shopping with Mom. I went home and wallowed in a bubble bath while waiting for Chad to get home. I leaned my head on the headrest with my eyes closed and thought about the happenings in my life. Being happy was an understatement and what I felt is beyond it. It’s true that every relationship has its problems, but what makes it triumphant is if you still want to be together when things go wrong. I knew there were times that I’m actually hard to be with but still, he chose me. He fell in love with my childish behavior and I was really thankful that he kept me despite many reasons not to. I have a lot of flaws and shortcomings that could definite
