ADRIENNE plans to spend her day off at her house, wasting her time relaxing and watching movies on her laptop. She doesn't have anything to do today, so she still feels hesitant to bother Pedro, even though they've been dating for several months. As a girlfriend, she also wants to respect his time as her boss slash boyfriend.Since she doesn't have any commitments for the day, she plans to get out of bed later in the afternoon. However, her peaceful sleep was interrupted by a loud knock on her door."Who could be so rude as to disturb my day off?" Adrienne wondered in her mind.With messy hair and still dressed in her sleepwear, Adrienne opened the door. She immediately regretted it and was surprised to see Pedro standing there. He was all dressed up while she looked like Cinderella's maid."Sir?! What are you doing here?" she asked, filled with fear. She was worried that he might be turned off by her appearance.Without saying a word, Pedro entered her living room. Adrienne remained
Pedro woke up with a smile on his face. Aside from sleeping with the woman he loves last night, waking up beside her in the morning is the best feeling he has ever experienced.He faced Adrienne's peaceful and sleeping face, her innocent expression making him feel ecstatic. He never gets tired of waking up to this kind of morning; it's the best feeling he has ever had.Pedro's day would have been perfect if his friends didn't disturb him early in the morning by knocking on Adrienne's bedroom door. He hissed and marched towards the door, wanting to skin the men alive on the other side."Get up, you lazy bums! You can have kids later!" Kurt shouted."Feed yourselves before you start eating each other!" Gabriel added.Annoyed, Pedro opened the door and was greeted by his grinning friends. They were about to say something when he stepped out and slammed the door shut."Why are you still here?! Go home! You troublemakers!" Pedro yelled at them.Gabriel chimed in, "Seriously! You're talking
Adrienne was happy; she started her day with joy. Being with her boss, who is now her boyfriend, brings her unmatched happiness.She was cleaning the living room when she accidentally knocked over a vase. She became anxious and had a bad feeling about what happened. It felt like something bad was happening amid her happiness. She believed that every happiness comes with a price.She tried to ignore the uneasiness she felt but couldn't calm down. She kept thinking about Pedro and if something happened to him.She called Pedro, but he didn't answer her calls. He was always out of reach, which made her more anxious."Why don't you answer my call?" she worried to herself.She started sweating, feeling cold, and couldn't sit still. She didn't like this feeling.She turned on the TV and couldn't believe what she saw on the news.Adrienne felt betrayed at that time. From noon until night, her mind couldn't rest. She might have understood if Pedro had come to her and explained what was happen
Adrienne found herself in a restaurant. It seemed like an expensive place. She felt nervous and tense because the two women who were causing her agony were right in front of her.Carmela smiled gracefully but viciously. "I reserved this five-star restaurant for the day. I didn't want others to see us tormenting you. It's nice that you actually accepted our invitation today. Order as much as you want; maybe it's the first time you'll eat in a place like this, right? I wouldn't be surprised since you're just a peasant," she said with a tone full of insults.Adrienne felt hurt, and she wanted to fight back, but what would be the point? She was already defeated, and it felt like they were just reminding her that she was a loser and would go home in tears.Adrienne noticed the devilish smirk on the faces of the two beautiful women in front of her. Their behavior didn't match their appearance at all."Just leave her alone, Aunt," Logan’s sister said with a grin. She was the perfect descript
Adrienne's heart was overwhelmed by the brevity of one week to fully love Pedro. Seven days were simply too short to create the memories she longed to carry with her when she eventually left.Her emotions weighed heavily on her, causing great pain due to the extreme loneliness she felt. It was already Sunday morning, but Adrienne still couldn't sleep throughout the night, her mind preoccupied with thoughts of her imminent departure.Later that evening, she would see Pedro again. Yesterday, they spent the whole day together, cherishing every moment. Pedro, however, had no inkling of her plans to leave. Adrienne couldn't bring herself to say it, but she knew it was his right to know, and she planned to tell him that very evening.Unable to sleep, Adrienne got up and opened her closet, taking out her luggage. As she began packing her clothes, she felt like there were no tears left to cry.Suddenly, there was a knock on her condo unit door, and she opened it to find Cathy, Indi, Miko, and
That news was a life-changing turn of events for Adrienne. It never crossed her mind that she would still have a souvenir from Pedro. Besides the memories she would carry with her, there was another gift left for her.She was in the condo to rest. It was exhausting for her to think and worry. It's not that she didn't want the pregnancy; in fact, she was even happier. The painful part was that the baby's father was absent. She would be a mother without a partner, and above all, the other Lassiters should not find out.But Adrienne just laughed at that thought. She wanted it to be impossible for anyone to find her, especially since Pedro and his family were furious with her. She thought that Pedro chose to believe the accusations against her. She also thought that Pedro chose his life in Evermere and as a CEO. Maybe she just wanted the man's happiness, even if she was no longer part of his life.She sighed again and took a notebook to start thinking about the steps she would take for he
They started their journey to the location of her café. It was just a short walk near Ethan's hotel and beach resort. Once they parked, they got out of the car and were greeted by a lively scene. Many people, including tourists, had gathered for the café's opening, lured by the freebies and discounts on offer.The mayor, who was scheduled to perform the ribbon-cutting, was also present, and tourists eagerly enjoyed the free drinks and finger food being handed out.Before the ribbon-cutting, Adrienne took the lead in giving a speech to kickstart the activities and the grand opening."I would like to say thank you for coming and witnessing this splendid opening of my shop. I want to express my deepest gratitude to my cousin, Claude Miranda, and my dearest friend and the owner of Hotel de Mercedes, Ethan. They are the reason why I am motivated to open this business. Please enjoy yourself at the café."The celebration went smoothly, with the store's delectable contents quickly disappearin
Adrienne can't deny the unease she feels whenever she's with Ethan. It all started with his simple confession of love, a confession that surprises her because she was no longer single, technically. Avoiding Ethan has become challenging since they've grown closer; he feels like a sibling to her now. Despite this, she has been keeping her distance for a week, trying not to let her feelings complicate things.Everything Adrienne does seems to involve Ethan, and that's exactly what she's trying to avoid. She doesn't want to fall for him on the rebound or use him as a temporary distraction. Having experienced hope followed by disappointment before, she doesn't want to give him false hope either. She knows how it feels to be let down after putting her trust in someone, like what happened with Pedro, who didn't fight for her or listen to her in the end.Adrienne is currently in her office, diligently working on budget lists and checking her stocks while her son, Kent, sleeps peacefully in hi
