When Sir Harold met us in the private jet runaway, we got inside the car. He’s the one to drive us going home, as we’re now here in Manila. The car runs when all of us are already getting in. While on the road, my friends and I just talked about my parents, asking how they were now after a month had passed. We also talked about their appointments after having a family dinner with us. Until finally, we’re now near the house after hours of riding in the car. As we were now in front of the house, the gate opened after Harold beeped the car to open the gate so we could get in. The car slowly runs to get it in until it stops when we’re in the garage.“We’re now here...” Harold uttered while standing outside. He opened the door for us. I smiled at him for a second. Candice got out of the car first, then Laurene and me. Jane, Trisha, and Summer are already outside as Sam assists them with us, our bodyguards. Our luggage was carried outside as we entered the house. “Oh, they are now here
She walked away from us when she answered the call on his phone. I just put my attention on what I am eating, then continue. Silence enveloped us again. “Hmm, anyway--how’s you two? Aunt and uncle?” Jane opened up a conversation to cut off the silence. Dad and mom glance at Jane. “Well, we’re all good, the same as before. How about you? Your family?” dad said after he and mom looked at each other to see who would answer Jane's question. Jane swallowed the food in her mouth before she spoke. “Well, just the same, uncle, even we’re busy with our own businesses..” she laughed a bit when she said that, then she put her eyes to what she was eating. “Yeah, I see..” dad nods while pressing his lips. “By the way, how about you, Trisha? Summer?” as mom mentioned their names, they stopped eating, putting their attention on mom for a moment. Trisha leaned her back and then spoke. “Well, I’m not happy, aunt..” “Me too, aunt and uncle..” Summer added. I noticed she was a bit scowled. “I kn
After having dinner with my parents and my friends, we accompanied Trisha, Jane, Summer, and Candice outside as they were now going to their homes. My friends said goodbyes to each other before they climb into the car. Then after this, Trisha and Candice-wherein they were with each other, were riding in the same car, waving now their hands to us. “We’ll visit you again, uncle and aunt! Take care! Bye!” Trisha said while the car was now starting to run slowly. Candice waved also to us, smiling. Then subsequently, the car runs. Until they already passed the gate’s house when the maid open the gate’s house for them, and until disappeared in our eyes. Speaking of Jane and Summer--they’re now with their own cars. Jane starts the engine of her own car while Summer, who was seated in the backseat has her own personal driver. “See you again on my youngest brother's birthday!” she paused when she wear her shades. “Bye, Lola and Laurene!” Jane said in a corky way. She waved also to my pare
“Oh, Kade! What brought you here?” I said gladly to him. I noticed his face was just blank while walking toward me. Then he stopped when he was now in front of me. "Nothing..just to visit you.." he said without hesitation. "V-visit me?" I said curiously. I gave him a seat. We’re now facing each other and we started our conversation. “U-uhh, by the way. What did you say to me again? Are you looking for me? ” I asked clarifying again as I looked back at him again. While looking at him for a while, I noticed that there was something going on with him. He seemed to be drunk when he opened his mouth slightly and I inhaled the smell of wine coming from it. I distanced myself from him, and instead of talking to him I stood up and spoke because I noticed that his aura seemed different and there seemed to be something strange in his behavior when he was staring at me. “Kade, you have to go home now. I think you're too drun-- ”I was shocked at what he did when he stood up and suddenly hug
I wore a Polka Dot Vintage Tea long dress with a slit revealing my legs after I took a bath. As I’m wearing now of that dress, I just put some foundation and then lipstick and I just let my hair cascade.Yeah, that’s what I am. Besides, I don’t like putting a lot in my face.After a few minutes, I immediately took my red handbag and closed the door as I left my room.“Oh, she’s already here ma’am..” I saw mom sitting on the couch waiting for me while dad was busy talking on his phone while still walking downstairs.“I’m sorry if I make you wait, mom, dad...” they abruptly stood up when I am now close to them.Mom caressed me on my cheeks. “That’s okay. Besides your dad is still busy on his phone…” she paused, looks like she was checking me out when she looked at me up to my feet.Talking about dad--I glance at him and his back was facing me while he was talking with someone on his phone.And for a moment, I tilted my head to mom when she spoke.“You’re so gorgeous, sweetie. I am so re
As we are now near to where we will be having a dine-in, I saw Laurene and Kevin when I suddenly roamed my eyes around--they are sitting not far from us. They are near the glass wall, at the tip. “Oh, uncle and aunt! Thank god you’re now here!” Laurene said delightfully when we are now in front of them. The one who accommodates us, Gin, probably hosts or staff gives us our seats. “Thanks for coming in here, ma’am, sir! Enjoy your meal and have a good day!” Gin said warmly with a smile at us, then he left. I greeted Laurene and Kevin as we were all now seated. Kevin shook his hands with me. “Oh, you’re Kevin right?” mom opened up a conversation as we were all facing each other. “Yes, Mrs...” he replied with a smile. “Andrea Valderrama..” mom abruptly added cheerfully. Until mom and Kevin shook hands and then they end it up. “By the way, this is my husband, Richard..” mom introduced dad to him then they shook hands also. “I heard a lot of good things about you, Mr. Richard. And i
“So you are Kevin Thomas? Laurene’s boyfriend?” after Sofia and Kade greeted us, Kevin take a look at Sofia when she called him. “Y-yeah. And you are Sofia? Lola’s cousin, right?” Kevin adjusted himself as he tried to stand up to shake hands with Sofia. They introduced themselves to each other. “Nice, to meet you, Kevin..” they are smiling at each other while they are at that moment. I heard Laurene intentionally cough making them stop shooking their hands. I tried to glance at Kade and he just heaves and sighed, avoiding his eyes and not looking at that part. “Oh, sorry for that..” I heard they just chuckled. Sofia diverted her eyes to look at Laurene for a second and I saw she tried to show her fake smile to her. Yeah, actually I know what Laurene feels right now, especially since Sofia is here. Speaking of Sofia--Yes, she doesn't like Sofia’s attitude. Even though Sofia is my cousin, Laurene told me before that she doesn’t trust Sofia as there’s a lot of things changed about S
I smirked as I mumbled to myself. “Don’t you want to join us?” mom frowned, wondering as Sofia and Kade were getting ready as looks like they really wanted to leave now. “Like what Kade said aunt and uncle--yes. We have to go to the airport now to pick up and meet Kade's dad...” she’s showing a pout expression and I know she’s just showing that so that she will look something pitiful. Tsk. What the heck! My god! I saw dad and mom glance at Kade who was just listening to Sofia and my parents' convo.“Is that true, Kade? Leon will come back here right now?” dad asked with a bit of astonishment, his figuring out it for assurance. “Yes, Mr. Richard…” he paused for a moment as he put his hands in his pockets. “I know why he just come back here because of his business. You know..” he rubbed now the back of his neck for a moment when he added that. “Oh, I see but that’s good to know! Besides, you’ll be with your dad again..” dad said with a smile. Then he took a glance at us one by one
"A-Adam," I uttered, my gaze fixed on him, and my body felt like a statue. I couldn't quite explain what I was feeling, especially when I laid eyes on him again, and now our eyes briefly met."L-Lola, how did you know I was here?" I quickly composed myself and avoided letting him see what I was feeling at the moment.Ugh! Goodness, Lola! You should act normal! You don't like that person, right?"O-ohh, sorry. You're wealthy, after all. You probably saw me on the CCTV," he sighed deeply. I noticed his Adam's apple move as he briefly scanned my entire body, then he slipped his hands into his pockets and averted his gaze from me.I couldn't help but chuckle softly, slightly lowering my head before speaking. "U-Uhm, actually, I saw you on the balcony... so I came to find you." I gestured with my eyes toward the balcony, and suddenly, his gaze shifted there too.After he saw it, he averted his eyes again. He scratched his head and let out a soft laugh.Suddenly, the surroundings became qui
Of a sudden—I turned my body again, facing the ceiling. I focused my gaze on it for a moment. I sighed deeply and tried to blink my eyes.At that moment, my sleepiness seemed to vanish when Adam suddenly crossed my mind as I opened my eyes again.And here—I tried to place my hand on my chest, where I could feel my heart beating strongly.While still doing this—I felt something strange in my stomach, and I found myself smiling like a crazy person while still staring at the ceiling, with thoughts of Adam popping up in my head—especially about what happened between us earlier and the days we've spent together.Ugh! Crazy, Lola! Why am I thinking about him? What's happening to me? Why do I feel this way about him?!As I realized this, I stopped smiling. I tried not to think about him and quickly closed my eyes.But after a few seconds, I still couldn't. I opened my eyes again when he crossed my mind."What's wrong with him that I'm feeling like this?! Am I falling in love with that man?!"
Afterward, I just focused on what I was eating, and suddenly I heard Dad cough."Oh, Heaven, you're here.." I heard Dad's voice say it.H-Heaven? Is he here? Did I hear it correctly? Is he here?And there—I noticed that Dad and Mom stood up. I didn't realize that Sally and Minda had finished eating and were no longer in their seats.About them—I quickly noticed that they started walking and turned towards someone. I noticed Dad and Mom were now back in their seats, adjusting themselves.Suddenly, I heard a soft cough in front of me.Regarding this—when I lifted my gaze, I saw Heaven standing before me.At that moment, my heartbeat suddenly quickened, and the surroundings seemed to momentarily quiet down.W-Wait—what? Why is he here? Is there something I don't know? Or is there something I should know? I asked myself while he was now seated in front of me.*************I slumped onto my bed as I entered my room after dinner and took care of myself. I feel tired and my body is somewhat
"Oh, Lola! Come on, your mommy and daddy have been waiting for you since earlier.." As soon as I stepped out of my car, Nanay Sally greeted me right away, and it seemed like she had been waiting for my arrival."Where are they, Sally? Did they just arrive?" I asked as she walked alongside me toward the entrance of the house."Yes. They were waiting for you in the kitchen. I told them you went to see your friend," she replied, and I nodded in confirmation.Speaking of them, I suddenly remembered that they were coming home, and it was almost eight o'clock in the evening when I arrived. Well, that's because my nosy friends, especially Laurene, didn't spare me from their questions about me and Adam.I told them what really happened, but they seemed disappointed because they thought something was going on between Adam and me. They honestly told me that Adam and I looked good together, and they would support us if we ended up together.Goodness! They are crazy girls.But talking about that
"Oh, Lola, you're here! Why did you take so long?""We've been waiting for you since earlier...""Yeah, we've been here for a while..." Laurene, Jane, and Summer asked in succession.I took a chair from the dining table, placed my purse on the table, and sat down. Summer was sitting on my left, busy with her makeup, while Jane was on my right, eating an apple.Meanwhile, Candice was busy looking at dresses, probably for Laurene, who seemed occupied with her cupcake.Speaking of this—what time did I arrive that they're reacting like that? They were probably here earlier, and I was the one they were waiting for. Ugh!"I-I got stuck in traffic, so it took me a while..." I made an excuse because they might interrogate me if I told the truth. These friends of mine are such gossip, and they might tease me about Adam.Speaking of Adam—suddenly, I felt a surge of joy in my heart, and I realized I was smiling.At that moment, I was snapped out of my thoughts when I noticed they were all lookin
So now he wants to be with his sibling because he doesn't want to be apart from him anymore, and he also wants to be together with their father whom he hasn't visited in a long time because he has a job that can provide for their family.So now, even though Tyler doesn't accept it, he waits and hopes that they will be okay. Adam believes that Tyler's heart will soften and he will understand because he knows Tyler well, after all, they are siblings.Yes, Mother Isabella and Amy know everything about this. They became the guardians of Adam and Tyler when Tyler stayed at the orphanage. So whatever happens, they are ready to accept Adam's decision, especially since Tyler has a loving family.I sighed and temporarily put those thoughts aside when I heard Adam speak."Thank you, Lola," he muttered, and without hesitation, I reached out my hand to shake hands with him.He reached out as well, and our hands met briefly.And suddenly, while we were doing that, it felt like an electric current
But wait, I tried to sneak a glance at Tyler and Adam, and there seemed to be a difference in their faces. I also realized that there was something about them that I couldn't understand or comprehend.Ugh! What's going on in my mind? All I know is that they are siblings and maybe I'm a part of that too.For now, I set aside the thoughts in my mind.Going back to Tyler, he has somehow grown dear to me. I don't want to neglect the child, especially after what I've heard and what happened earlier.At this moment, he immediately looked away, and I did the same, slightly lowering my head.*******"I'm sorry again for what happened earlier. And I hope you and Tyler can..." I trailed off, my head slightly bowed as I spoke those words to him. I heard him sigh."Thank you. I hope so too," he paused for a moment, and I tried to glance at him, but he was looking into the distance."Also, you don't have to worry about Tyler anymore. He was checked at the clinic, and he's fine," he added unintenti
"A-adam, if you would allow me, let me take him to the hospital for a check-up. He might have wounds or bruises. And I'll take responsibility because it's my fault... I caused the accident, so I should be blamed for what happened..." I humbly said as Adam and Tyler stood in front of me, with Tyler avoiding eye contact with Adam.I'm still not asking what the real reason is, but for now, I need to have Tyler checked by a doctor. I don't want to just leave what happened to him. Besides, it's my fault for what happened earlier.But I can't understand why Tyler seems to be avoiding Adam. Maybe it's about what happened earlier? Or is there another reason?And what is it? Ugh! Yeah, I'm confused.He briefly glanced at Tyler and then looked at me. Suddenly, the atmosphere shifted, and I felt that his expression became serious as he looked at me and spoke."Thank you, but it's not necessary. He's okay considering the circumstances," he said, then he turned his gaze towards Tyler, who was now
I am driving my car towards Laurene's house because she asked for my help in preparing a surprise for Kevin tomorrow night. It's their sixth anniversary, and she also wants me and my friends to come up with ideas for what she can do tomorrow. It's almost ten in the morning, and I'm still on the road. The drive has been peaceful so far. It's only a few hours of travel, and I'm getting closer to her house.Suddenly--Sofia suddenly came to mind when she called me using a different number earlier.Yes, honestly, I'm prepared for whatever negative words or anything she throws at me. I just can't quite figure out if she's really being deliberate or if she's just teasing and trying to provoke me.Especially when she mentioned that it was her boyfriend Kade's birthday this coming Friday. It will take place at 6 PM, and she invited me to go there. As for this, I started wondering about my friends. She didn't mention if she invited them too, and I have no idea if they'll be going.Yeah, maybe s
