“Pick that man and lay him on the sofa,” Cyrus ordered Jomar. He quickly took medicine for the wound in his son’s hand. The man moaned when Jomar laid him down on the sofa. He didn’t let Cyril get close to him and he might even become a criminal. But he understood the latter. If he had been the first to come earlier and see the violence being done to Trisha, he might have hit the man with a bullet. Thank goodness Cyril doesn’t have a gun with him now. “Find out who that man’s parents are,” Cyrus ordered Jomar again and forcibly treated his son’s hand. He didn’t want to talk even if he asked. David struggled as the man reached into his pocket. But every move he made also made him wince because his face and other parts of his body hurt where Cyril’s punch hit.Jomar got the man’s ID and cellphone. “Sir, he is the Mayor’s son,” informed Jomar.Cyrus nodded, but he was not worried that they might be sued, especially his son. “Huh, now that you know who I am, you should be scared!” The
“What do you mean?” Dante raised his eyebrows in anticipation as he looked at the lawyer and the father and son. Cloud put a hand in his pocket and turned to a room. “The woman whom your son wants to harm is not the daughter of an ordinary citizen. Our agency takes care of their profile, so that they are not known to the public.” Suddenly, one of Dante’s legs was lifted from standing. He grabbed the sofa’s armchair and reluctantly sat down. He looked at his son and he was also scared by the visible worry on his face. He wanted to scream in his face and scold him, but nothing happened or changed. “You know what he can do to someone like you when he finds out what happened to one of his princesses?”Dante nodded with his mouth closed. The election is near and when this news comes out, it will definitely be the end of his candidacy.David bowed his head and didn’t know what to do to fix the mess he made. From the look of his father now, he knows that he has nothing against Trisha’s fa
Trisha got up abruptly after remembering everything that happened because of David. She held her lips as she remembered the kiss in her dream. “Shit! David wasn’t the reason why he got mad at me?” Trisha said to herself when she realized that the kiss she made with Cyril was not a dream. Now she was sure that it was not a dream. It was not Cyril who kissed her either, but her. “Ahhhhh, what did you do?” she preached to herself while tugging at her hair. Later on, Trisha bit her index finger and stood up from sitting on the bed. She walked restlessly to the window of her room and thought. When she remembered their last good conversation with the young man, her heart throbbed again.“Don’t let selfishness and childishness prevail in your mind. I still have many dreams in life and want to achieve them through my own efforts. It is good that we parted ways, and you also need to fix your life. You are not a child anymore, be responsible for everything you do. Think about whether someon
“Honey, your daddy bought you a new cellphone.” Smiling, Shaina held up a small paper bag. As soon as Trisha looked at her mother’s hand, she knew it was an expensive cellphone. She just smiled sparingly at her mother and took the thing. They didn’t even ask her why her cellphone was broken. It’s been three days since it broke. Since yesterday, she has been curious about her parents’ changing behavior. It was as if they were worried and secretly watching her every move. “Did you like it?”Trisha smiled and turned to her father, who arrived almost right after her mother. “That’s my advance gift for you. I don’t want you to be sad either, so I’m allowing you to study abroad.”A forced smile appeared on her lips. She doesn’t know if she should be happy or sad. Besides, she is the one who likes it, and she wanted to celebrate her birthday abroad. She doesn’t want it to be done here in the Philippines, so her father won’t have a reason to force Cyril to go home. This is also what she tho
Trisha burst into tears when she saw her whole family on her birthday. The celebrations are simple and they will eat outside. “Hey, enough crying, and you might get ugly,” Arriana joked with her sister and hugged her. Trisha was moved to tears by her sister’s joke. How about that? She thought it was okay to become ugly now because the person he was beautifying was not around. The whole family thought her crying was tears of joy. But she was very hurt and sad now. This birthday is special to her but the man she wants to be with is not there. The man she dreamed of being an escort for her 18th birthday was not there. Her dream that Cyril would dance with her did not come true.“That’s enough, guys. Don’t make your sister cry anymore,” Shaina scolded her twin children. She approached Trisha and wiped her tears from her eyes and cheeks. Shaina feels that there is a different reason why her young daughter is crying. She feels sorry for her, and she knows that she is now deeply resentful
“Son, it’s good that you thought of going home. How are you?” “I’m fine, Mom, where’s Daddy?” Cyril let his mother take off his jacket. “He’s in the mansion, son, because the chairman is restless.”Cyril sighed before sitting on the sofa. Nida looked at her son sadly. He had changed a lot since he knew Trisha had left. He didn’t want to have any more contact with the family of the girl, and even their family was affected. He seldom came home or visited them because he wanted to avoid them.“How is Mr. Chairman’s health?”Nida smiled and felt that her son was worried about Trisha’s father. “The doctor’s advice is for him to rest and not be stressed.”“Do his children know about his condition now?” Cyril asked his mother again. The twins have their own houses, so they only see their parents once in a while. “That’s what I don’t understand about the chairman. He just strictly instructed your father that no one else should know about his condition now. Not even his wife knows anything
Travis quickly closed his eyes when there was a knock on the door. Cyrus was still there and his wife turned away. “Dad, how is the chairman?” Cyril asked his father worriedly after entering the chairman’s room. Earlier, while on the way, his staff called and said that Trisha was very angry. “He has been given a sedative. You probably know what happened at work with your staff?” with a sermon in his tone, Cyrus asked Cyril.Cyril sighed and gently nodded to his father. He looked at Trisha’s mother. She kept her back, and he knew she was crying silently. He slowly stepped closer to her and lightly placed his palm on her shoulder. “She really doesn’t want to come back here, and she’s angry with her father.” Shaina snorted and wiped the tears from her eyes.She was really sad and cried because Trisha was mad at her father. She heard the conversation between her husband and daughter earlier and Trisha was very disappointed with them.“She can’t stand you, especially when she finds out
Jade stared at her friend in surprise when she noticed that she was stunned. She turned to where her friend was looking. “Do you know him?”Trisha blinked when she heard her friend’s question. She quickly cooled herself down and pretended not to see anything. She was annoyed with herself and her chest suddenly heaved. She didn’t know if it was due to shock or excitement. “Are you okay?” Jade asked her friend again after without getting a response from her. Trisha nodded to her friend before pouring the wine into the glass and drinking it straight away. She was sure she wasn’t the only one who missed it when she saw the man following her approach Cyril. She clenched her fist in anger. She did not think that her childhood friend would be her father’s ally.Trisha couldn’t stop her hollow laugh as she played with the mouth of the glass with her finger. Later, a bitter smile formed on her lips. The young man endured her for several years because of his own stand in life. What he insiste
