“I don’t like your sense of humor, are you joking or mocking our mother?”

The confidence in the aura of Matilda’s face suddenly disappeared. Her insulting look gradually changed to anger at the same time as her lips pressed firmly together. As if she was being slapped and humiliated infront of her family when a little boy criticize her behavior.

“Adrian, she’s your grandmother.” Shaina calmly scolded her son but she couldn’t help but smile at what she heard.

“You see? Even the boy was not happy with your judgmental attitude.” Annoyed, Jessy’s sermon to his wife. Matilda snobbed her husband and her shame on herself just increased.

“She was insulting you, Mommy. So what if Pappy Daisy is our biological father? Why does she have to ask you in a sarcastic way? Family should not ask you like that.”

Angeline and Lovely were speechless. The young boy was right and even surpassed like an old man in the way he’s speaking. Sometimes Lovely was really annoyed by her mother’s behavior. She was

    On the day of the event, Shaina got ready early to go to the bidding’s venue. She is determined to be match with Angeline now even if her own family’s company will get affected. At Travis’s house, Angeline waited patiently for the young man. They must reach the hall together. She was confident that their company would remain the one chosen by Travis. Travis stared at the woman sitting on the sofa. When she smiled upon seeing him, his expression remained blank. He stared at her body as she move and stood up. Angeline is tall and has a beautiful body shape. She’s wearing a red dress that fitted to her body, that made her look attractive. The girl’s dress also had a deep groove in the chest and exposed her cleavage. It wasn’t obscene to look at but Travis didn’t like that. They don’t just go to events.“Son, it’s Angeline who can go with you in the car,” Matilda provoked the young man’s silence. The smile on Angeline’s lips was erased when there was no readable emotion on Travis’s fac

    In her mind, Angeline cursed Shaina as she watched her in front of the crowd. Many people are impressed by her presentation and Joshua is one of them. Travis still had a blank expression on his face. She didn’t know what he was thinking but she saw him looking at the file he was holding. Everyone applauds after Shaina performs at the front. A sweet smile appeared on her lips and thanked them before returning to her seat. “And now, the next one is the beautiful and talented granddaughter of Chairman Cristy Monreal. Their company is one of the most famous in the Philippines. Most of all, she is a special someone to our handsome CEO, Mr. Travis Villanova!”Everyone applauds and looks in awe at Angeline sitting next to Travis. Travis frowned slightly because of the emcee’s last words. For him, that is off topic and should not interfere with the participant’s personal affairs. The emcee quickly looked away from the CEO when he saw that he didn’t like what he said regarding the relationsh

    “I will introduce myself to you, but you must stay at this hotel tonight.” After re-reading the piece of paper, Travis crumpled it and threw it in the trash can. He made sure it wouldn’t be read in case anyone else saw it. He still doesn’t trust the mysterious sender. But he had to gamble to get his memory back, as soon as possible.Angry and in a hurry, Matilda went up to the 10th floor of the hotel and went to Travis. She knew where his room was. His room in this hotel was the one she hadn’t opened before because the security was tight. The hotel’s manager doesn’t want to give the key card of that room as long as Travis is alive. She doesn’t know how Travis got close to the manager of said hotel and found out about his private room there.“Who’s there?” Matilda blew air through her mouth first and calmed herself down before answering. “Travis, son, this is your Mommy. Can I come in?”Using the remote to unlock the door, Travis was forced to open it for the stepmother. “The door is

    “Speak!” Travis ordered the man authoritatively while holding the gun tightly. “My name is Cyrus, sir.” Travis furrowed his eyebrows and remembered where he had first heard that name. A few moments later he lowered the pointed gun at the man. “How can I be sure that you are the detective I ordered before?” “It is not unknown to you that I was involved in the fall of Ben’s car in a cliff. There is no one else who knows I’m still alive, especially your family.” His eyebrows furrowed even more because Cyrus clearly did not trust his brother and stepmother. “Sir, before you had an accident, you didn’t even trust your family. The fact that you hired me to investigate a woman you had a one-night stand with is the proof.”“Then I really sent you to find that woman to marry?” “I didn’t know that marrying that woman was part of your plan. You only sent me to find the woman because you wanted to know who wanted to ruin your reputation.” Travis clenched his fist when he realized that he

    Travis carefully observed the woman standing infont of him. He expected her to sign the contract but she was too early. “I’m sorry if I came here early.” Shaina smiled at the young man but she felt uncomfortable by the way the man was looking at her. “Have a seat.” Travis responded formally before motioning for the assistant to exit. “So, are you fine working with your cousin?” Travis asked, making sure. “Yes, of course, sir!” She quickly answered the young man and for a moment she was staring into his strange eyes. The feeling of nervousness in her chest was there again for an unknown reason. “Then, congratulations and good luck!”Shaina accepted the contract she was going to sign. Right after she signed, the man shook her hand. The familiar warmth that came from his palm was rise again, so she was stunned for a moment. If the assistant hadn’t knocked, Travis wouldn’t have been able to let go of the girl’s hand. “Sir, Miss Angeline Monreal is here.” Shaina quickly straightened

    “What’s the result?” Travis asked immediately after answering Cyrus’s call. “Positive, sir. You are taking the wrong medicine. The first one is a type of drug that paralyzes and the other one impairs memory.”Travis clenched his fist as his other hand gripped the cellphone tightly. “I’ll make them all pay!” “Calm down, sir. They shouldn’t find out that you already know about this.”“I want to visit Teddy’s grave.” Travis gritted his teeth as he remembered the former assistant. Eventhough he didn’t recall about him yet, he knew he was one of his confidants. “Not now, someone is following you,” said Cyrus, he’s also tailing Travis’s car.Jomar peeked in the side mirror when he heard what Cyrus said, because the volume of his cellphone was loud. He turned into an alley to confirm if a black car had followed them. He saw another car behind and that was Cyrus.Cyrus darted out of the way when Jomar turned so as not to notice that he was also following Travis’s car as well.“Sir, you’d b

    “Nanny, we need to find him again!” Arriana whispered to Nida. She didn’t want her mother to hear what they were talking about because she might just worry about them.“Looks like they’ve left already, baby,” Nida answered in a whisper, too. “Are you sure that he is really our biological father?” Adrian also asked his sister in a low voice. “Yes, brother! I am one hundred percent sure now. You both have the same eyes, nose, lips and—” “That’s correct!” Nida exclaimed, making Arriana stop from speaking. Arriana was right. It’s just because Nida was suddenly feel awkward earlier to the companion of the man sitting in the wheelchair that is why she didn’t pay much attention to the man Arriana was referring to. Adrian frowned as he waited for what else their nanny wanted to say. “Your sister is right, you really look just like that man!” Nida added.“Then we should find him. But don’t tell Mommy yet.” Adrian smiled just like his twin sister. The three agreed that everything should b

    Travis let Angeline help him move to his bed. He was about to sit on the edge of the bed when the girl’s body unexpectedly gave in. They fell on the bed together and she was on top of him. Angeline’s wide eyes stared at the young man’s face for a moment. She suddenly felt the urge to taste Travis’s lips but she had to hold back. “So-sorry, I guess I’m drunk.” She was about to get up when Travis suddenly grabbed her neck.

    After entering the classroom, Ava immediately looked around. The first person she saw was Brix. He seems to be calm now and not drawing attention to her. Good thing then; maybe he realized it because she slapped him yesterday.The next thing he looked for was Alexander. She frowned when she saw that the young man’s seat was empty. She looked at the others there, and the young man might have just moved seats. But she was just disappointed, and he wasn’t there. She looked at the clock hanging on the wall. The class will start in just three minutes. She didn’t want to spoil her day so much, so she unfolded the papers and turned on the laptop.“Am I late?” Alexander asked from the doorway, gasping for air.Ava suppressed the smile that wanted to appear on her lips when she saw Alexander. His hair was messy, obviously not combed, but she would admit it that he was still handsome despite his messy look. He looks like a bad boy, but it fits on him. “Next time you will enter earlier,” she sai

    It was late at night when the gathering ended. They also slept there in their grandfather’s mansion. This gathering of them rarely happens. He hung out for a while on the terrace facing the garden and thought.“Brother!”He turned to his cousin Terence. This is the eldest son of his aunt Trisha. “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”“I just wanted to ask something.”Alexander stared at his cousin. He is only fifteen years old, and his sibling that is younger than him is older than Terence.“Brother, how old were you when you had sex with a girl?”Alexander seemed to choke on his own saliva and stared at his cousin. “Have you never had sex with a girl?”“Tsk, I’m not like you, who is a womanizer and a pervert.”Alexander grinned and placed his right palm on his cousin’s shoulder. Like him, Terence is also a big man. There’s no mistaking him as a teenager. “You want me to teach you how to please a woman?”“You think I can do it at this age?” Terence looked doubtful.“Of course!

    The whole family is complete in Travis’ old mansion. His grandchildren are also complete because it’s their grandma’s birthday. There are guests, but only close friends and relatives. This is exactly how Shaina’s birthday is, and she hasn’t liked many people celebrating her birthdays ever since.“Grandma, happy birthday! I’m sorry I’m a little late.” Alexander kissed his grandmother’s forehead.Shaina smiled and hugged her grandson. “It’s fine, grandson, and I know you’re a young man now, so it’s normal that you’re doing something else.”Alexander grinned, and his grandmother really knew him.“But what I heard is that you have fenced a woman in at your university, so you entered there even though you didn’t have to?” Travis said, sitting in a wheelchair.Alexander scratched his neck and looked shyly at his grandfather. When it comes to women, his grandfather was strict, and for him, he became rebellious.“Is she the one who will make you wiser?” Travis asked.“I guess I got karma from

    “Go away, and maybe someone else will see us.” She pushed the young man away.Alexander sighed as he watched the girl closely. “I will sleep in your place again later, and maybe that drug addict will try to harm you again tonight.”“No, you can’t!” She refused, shaking her head slowly, which darkened the aura of the young man’s face. “Look, maybe someone will recognize you and see you entering my apartment.” She explained to him so as not to get angry with her or misunderstand her refusal.“If I go to another university, will you not stop me from getting close to you?”She was once again confused about what to say to the young man. Because he’s naughty, and she knows that he’ll do what he thinks when she says yes.“But I don’t want to leave you here, especially with that idiot being around you.” Alexander regained his composure when he thought of Brix.She suppressed a smile when Alexander’s face revealed the problem he was thinking about. His forehead was still furrowed as he thought

    Ava looked at the person who pulled her in shock, and it almost hugged her.“Are you okay?”She nodded absentmindedly in response to Alexander’s question. He spoke very gently, and it was as if she were an unbreakable crystal from the way he touched her. But when he faced Brix, he suddenly looked like a demon, ready to kill the person in front of him.“Asshole! You really want to get hurt?”Ava quickly grabbed the young man’s arm when he tried to attack Brix. “Please, don’t make a mess, or I might get suspended here!” She pleaded with the young man in a low voice.Brix laughed because Alexander couldn’t rush him. “What? Are you already under the skirt? Is that why she likes you more because she can fit you under her skirt?” He asked insultingly.Ava quickly let go of Alexander and angrily approached Brix. She couldn’t control herself anymore and slapped the man. “You’re not just rude; you have no respect for someone like me! Don’t bring your bad behavior to school because I’m not like

    “Are you insulted?” Brix continues to tease Alexander. “Did you know that our dean is married?”Alexander clenched his fist, but he still approached the man with a smile. “It looks like you haven’t brushed your teeth since you got out of jail last night, and your mouth stinks, dude.”Suddenly, the smile on Brix’s lips was erased, and he gave Alexander an angry look. “You animal! So you are the one who sent the police to where I was staying last night?”Alexander grinned and put his hands in both pockets of his trousers. “I can do anything, so don’t try me. I can even take down your father if you fight against me!”Brix’s jaws are clenching even more with anger. His suspicion is clear now. However, he didn’t want to show Alexander that he felt worried because of his threat. Then he laughed because of the last thing he said. “You don’t seem to know my father, and you talk about him just like that?”Smiling, Alexander approached the man and slightly brought his head closer to him before

    Ben smiled when he and the girl were the only ones left in the office before he spoke. “I’m not going to beat around the bush anymore. You probably know that my son likes you, didn’t you?”Ava didn’t like the tone of the gentleman’s question, but she smiled anyway. “I’m used to that kind of feeling among young people, and I assure you that it will pass.”“What if not?” Ben asked tentatively.“Vice Mayor, like I said earlier, my profession is important to me, so expect me to play my role in your son’s life as their professor.”Ben was impressed by the girl’s courage to answer him and her determination. He smiled again as he slowly leaned his back against the back of the chair. “I won’t wonder why my son likes you.”Ava didn’t know if she should smile and thank the gentleman for his compliment, if that’s what it really meant, or be annoyed by the sarcasm in his voice. But she was even more unhappy with his praise of her.“But I didn’t come to question your status in life or your profess

    “Who do you think dared to report you to the authorities?” Ben asked his son angrily.A corner of Brix’s lips lifted and he stopped himself from smiling. He knows that his father is more angry with the person who owes him more than the sin he committed that will ruin his name as the vice mayor of their town.“I need to silence him down,” Ben almost whispered.“Dad, I think there is a large syndicate group holding the man I suspect.”“Then he needs to be held accountable for what he did to you!” Ben’s voice rose in anger.Brix smirked and was amused by the anger in his father’s eyes. He will also get revenge on Alexander. He knows that this is the one who reported to the police last night that he rushed to the house where Ava was staying near the university. He will show here who it really collides with.“Go to school today, and I don’t want that guy to laugh at you!”“Thanks, Dad.

    Ava woke up when she felt as if something had run over her body. She didn’t open her eyes right away because she first felt the thing that was running in her stomach. When she held a hand, she let go and quickly looked at the one next to her. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Alexander’s face. His sleep is peaceful, and she has to admit that he is handsome even when he is asleep. And he looks kind, who won’t do anything foolish. When he moved, she quickly pushed him.“Hey, what’s wrong?” Alexander awakened suddenly as he complained and hugged the girl again.“Jerk, what are you doing here next to me?” She angrily hit him on the arm with her palm, and the young man refused to let her get up.“Hey, I’m the one who’s supposed to ask that for you.” Laughing, he grabbed the girl’s hand when she wanted to hit him again.Ava stopped and looked at where she and the young man were lying.
