Narrator's Pov "How can you do this without my consent dad?" Tessa questioned as she set down the glass of wine on the table.She glared at her father who chuckled.How can they tell her to come back from England only to give her the shocking news that she is getting married to the least person she expected."You know that the Anderson and us are like family, it was through their company that our company got to the height that we are currently now. They made us what we are now, we owe the Anderson a lot and this will also be beneficial for our company." Her dad Mr Oliver said trying to convince herTessa pursed her lips trying to process everything that her father said"But you should have consulted me about it first before going ahead with your plans, dear dad." She emphasize"We are your parents sweetheart, we know what is good for and Hayden is good for you, we watched him grow up." Her mother chipped in"I know you and dad are my parents, but when it comes to the issue of marriag
Aria's Pov I was tapping my fingers at the mini table on my front. My jaw was placed on the other. I bore my eyes on my tutor exhaustedly.I don't get it. I have my grades fine! Why do I even need a tutor? Alright! It was all dad's idea! I sucked in Algebra! No, I mean, Algebra hated me! I am in my last year in high school, so I should be able to pass.It was Saturday today, and I had a tutorial until noon. On weekdays, I have classes until 3. So Sunday is really my only vacancy. No time to enjoy my fucking life. I tried to run away, but I lost my freedom because of that.I am grounded! No phone! No money! No life! I'm in hell! So I don't know if I will repeat that.I scanned Miss Hernandez on my front. We are now in the house's library where we always have the tutorial session.She writes numbers I don't understand. I looked at her skirt. My eyes narrowed because her skirt was even shorter than mine. My blood is boiling. I knew it! This girl! Was it her job that she came here for, o
Janet's Pov "What? You're grounded?" Simon chuckled and walked over to me.We're out of school. I am currently studying at St. Dominic High School. It's my last year here and I want to graduate with honors.I shook my head and took his hand that was wrapped around me. So many eyes were already on us.Simon is handsome and rich. He has a car and a bad boy looks. It's just that I didn't like him. I preferred a mature man! Years older than me with a career slaying."Dad has a party at home," I shrugged. I can see that his girlfriend is getting closer to where we are.Her eyes narrowed as she looked at us."Your girlfriend is here," I laughed. I know this scene.Simon immediately looked at her."So... that's why you're cold to me? Was it because of her?" Courtesy of his girlfriend.I raised an eyebrow.Simon immediately grabbed her by the waist. He then denied it.Simon and I were just close! Close friends! I'm used to his arrogant attitude and playboy side. In fact, we've been friends s
Megan's povI wore a baby pink dress. It fits perfectly to my body and I ponytailed my hair.After I got dressed, I went downstairs. When I came down, I saw papa at a table with other respected friends, Investors and his high-end colleague. They all knew about mama's death then. Daddy said she died because of a car accident when I was two years old.I only saw my mom in pictures.Her almond eyes were puffy.She has a soft aura. Dad's too. Where did I inherit my face? I don't know.I tried. I was looking at what my mom and I looked like but nothing."Here," papa pointed to his seat next to him. There I sat. On my right is papa, on the left is Sav.My heart thumb so fast.The food and wine were served to us.I immediately ate the food on my plate."So Rox, how old are you?" One of them asked."Sixteen," I answered politely.She gasped."Really? Sixteen?" She laughed. "You're studying at St. Dominic, right?"I nodded."Uh, yes.""I knew it! Did you know my son, Caleb?"My lips parted.Ca
Aria's Pov I spend the night coming home because of our folk dance practice to introduce our prom. I really love dancing. We are in the auditorium and all fourth year is here. Others did not join."Hi!" I watched as Simon came close to Jezel next to me and wiped away the sweat."Are you going home? I'll come with you." I smiled and returned the towel and mineral to my bag. I'm so tired and I feel so sweaty.I confronted him. "Are you hitting on me again, Simon? Does your girlfriend no longer want you? Maybe Cara will get furious with me again!"He gasped. "What are you talking about, Rox? I'm being nice here. I'll just drive you home."I nodded. "Fine! Whatever you say. Come on, Jez, Simon is supposed to bring us."My forehead creased when I saw him panic. "Uh! No thanks. I-I'm still going through somewhere.""Are you sure? It's too bad! It's free." I laughed. Simon suddenly looked at Jezel. I smell something fishy.I just shrugged my shoulders at my conclusion to the two of them. Be
Aria's Pov It was a big mistake. The attraction I feel for Sav. Many handsome men flirt with me, but why am I only attracted to my uncle? What kind of heart do I have? Tsk. I buried it all in oblivion. I also don't know why he moves the same way toward me? He even asked me what if he would be my first kiss? Just what the hell!When that incident ended two days ago, everything became normal. Sometimes we share breakfast. He was just cold. He always has a cellphone call that he calls babe. He also comes home at night once. He is drunk. That hurts my heart.Of course, it's wrong to like him, my uncle. That was the most painful part for me. Just really unfair. But I will try my best. So, hard to keep this feeling. I know I can find a man for me too, but I'm not ready yet, fling will do.We are in the Mall now. I went with my driver because I don't know how to drive yet and because it's still forbidden for someone like me who is seventeen years old. I really don't want to go with the driv
The girl in the mirror. She's beautiful. She doesn't seem to be seventeen. She looks like a mature woman because of her makeup. The lip with red lipstick. The eye with gray contact lenses. The gray cocktail dress was tight to my upper body. There is no cleavage but the exposed collarbone is attractive.It was seven o'clock in the evening. I took a deep breath and looked at myself in the mirror again. I was nervous and excited. Sav was invited to our prom because he was a school sponsor. I went downstairs and he immediately looked up at me as if he had been waiting for me for a while. I saw his jaw move.He is so handsome in his black tux. She also has a new haircut. I saw he had an earring in his ear. Now I saw it, or maybe he just punched me? And his necktie is gray? I can hardly look at him. My hand is too cold.Who isn't nervous, right? I still remember what he told me last night. Those are his words to me. But after he said that, he seemed to be born and immediately left my room.
"Dad!" I answered the phone happily. After long months, papa still didn't come home. I understand if it's about the business but why are you taking so long?"How's my daughter there?" Every day, it becomes a routine for us to call each other. Savier took over the Dela Rama Company because papa was not there yet. I heard our company became famous in the business world because of Sav. I am happy for him! Those months we celebrated his 25th birthday. I can say that we have become even closer to each other.In my secret world, I was content with just admiring my uncle. I was content because that was what it should be. I even witnessed him change his girlfriends like how he changes his clothes; they will be removed and never used again when old and dirty.He didn't take them seriously, which gave me fine breathing. It's better that way because I don't think I can bear to see him fall for someone else while I'm secretly hurt by falling for him."I am fine, dad. When are you going home? I-It
