"WHERE have you been?" Margaret gritted her teeth as she asked the young lady who just entered their house. She even made sure that her husband was already asleep so he would not know that their daughter came out.
"Not now, Ma!" Janice was tired.
"I am still talking to you so don't you dare turn your back on me!" Margaret rebuked her daughter in a low voice, she would not like a noise to wake her husband up.
Janice stopped taking steps and faced her mother. She looks annoyed. "I'm big enough, so I don't need to have your and dad's permission before I am able to do what I want anymore!"
Margaret was shocked. She never expected her daughter to be so rude like that. "When did you have that attitude similar to your sister, huh?" She glared at her and restrained herself from pulling her hair.
"I'm so tired of being submissive, Ma! I don't want to be the kind of person you wanted me to be anymore, I hate it!" Janice releas
Chrismith smiled when he noticed Nica's stares at his lips as he drinks coffee. She is displaying her carefree face that he would often see when she is in his Bar and Resto. "You want to taste it?" Chris offered her his cup of coffee.Nica frowned upon his cunning smile. She does not want to ever admit it, but she was exhilarated by his sweet stares and smiles. She also wants her lips on the cup. "An indirect kiss won't be bad!" a coquett
Nica studied the figure of the lady in front of her. Anyone would get a negative first impression of her because of the drawing of her thin eyebrows. She is thinner than her, but they are the same height."Are you done checking on me, Ma'am?" Bheng asked, impatient.
"MY Cousin is already in the company." Larry informed Chrismith as he called."Very good, I want to know the truth before we get married so I don't have to clean up anything in her name."
"WHAT do you want?" Janice angrily asked Nica when she entered her room."Can you help me to pack my things?" She softly requested to Janice, even her eyes look happy. Her flight with Chrismith is tomorrow and the others will follow them to witness their wedding. They will just go first to personally prepare everything for their wedding."Our fight is not yet over, so don't celebrate yet!" Janice exclaimed, she wants to get even with her after she insulted her."You're fighting even though the person you are fighting for doesn't even like you. What a pity." Nica replied and smirked when her sister's face reddened because of the anger she is trying to control."He'll just marry you for the company's sake, so don't be ahead of yourself. You're more pitiful because he's just going to use you. He did not choose me because he wants to maintain the good relationship we have."Nica lifted up an eyebrow, her words cut through her, but she did not show her
Nica's grasp on Christmith's arm tightened when she finally faced his mother.Luisa's eyes followed her son's hands. He removed the young lady's grasp on him. She should not be delighted with what she is seeing, but she cannot help but smile when he intertwined his hand with the girl's. If only she does not know that their marriage is just a contract marriage, she could say that they love each other."There's no need to act like a sweet couple in front of me, I know you two are still one another's stranger." Luisa criticized their behavior once it has been just the three of them in the living room.Chris was surprised by his mother's cold words. He helped Nica to sit before confronting his mother."What?" Luisa gave him a confused and innocent stare in response to her son's questioning eyes.Nica's sadness doubled while she looks at the two, who probably have a misunderstanding because of her."Mom, I agreed that we'd stay here for you to ge
The bizarre smell that travelled to her nose awoke Nica. She did not open eyes and simply feel her surroundings. She sniffed the thing that sticks to the bridge of her nose. It was the first time in her life that she smelled it and it was her pillow."Pillow?" Her eyes widened when the thing she thought a pillow sunk in through her mind. When she recalled where she is right now, she blinked her eyes twice just to be surprised."Shit!" She cursed in her mind when she recognized the man's chest in front of her face. She carefully lifted her head up to look at the face of the man he treated as a pillow. She sighed with relief when she saw that he is sound asleep. Her cheeks reddened as she slowly lifted her right arm that was wrapped around him. With their position, she can say that she was the one who took advantage of him while he was fast asleep.The sleeveless shirt he is wearing is thin that she can trace what is underneath it. Both of his hands are behi
"ARE you ready?" Chris asked Nica when he saw her sitting on the bed although she is already dressed up. They will go to meet with the dressmaker."Do we really need that bitch to tag along?" She frowned, she was referring to Janice."She's your sister and she wants to come with us.""But you know that I hate her!"Chris smiled as he looks at her puckered lips, it was moving and he knows that she is cursing her half-sister in her mind. He can decline Janice's request to come with them. But he figured he needed her presence to make Nica closer to him. It may be something selfish and detestable, but he likes it when Nica acts sweet toward him."What are you laughing at?" Nica asked when she noticed the unusual smile on his lips."Do you know that you have a kissable lip?" He subconsciously uttered what was on his mind while staring at her lips.Nica covered her own mouth using her palm. She knows her cheeks are flushed right now because
HELLO?""What's this news that came to me, Mr. Yuchan?"Chris moved the phone away from his ear because of the loudness and angry voice of Nica's father from the other line."It's not in our deal that you can take advantage of my daughter!"Chris closed his eyes and just let Mr Mr. Alfonso to talk."I'm sorry, Sir, but you know my father's health condition and I can't go against nor say no to him." He explained when he mentioned about how Nica and he, uses the same room."Just do what was on our deal so we won't have a problem." Alfonso said before ending the call."Did you make them go into separate rooms?" Margaret quickly asked her husband when he was finished talking to Chris on the phone."They're not children anymore and they will be married soon, so I can't do anything if they want to do what's not allowed." Alfonso lied to his wife. He had gotten enough of her repeated complaints, so he decided to call Chrismith,
