45: What Went Wrong?
Last Updated:
2022-02-19 11:07:24"Hey Elena, congrats by the way. I just got back in so it's a bit late for the news," a male batchmate of mine said as we walked out of the culinary club.
I smiled. "It's okay. Anyway, thank you."
"I wish I could go to the competition to support. In case Too bad, I was sick then."
"It's fine, Javier. No worries."
He was about to speak again when suddenly someone called to me from behind. I turned and I saw Samantha, my block mate. It looks like it just came out of the culinary lab and has something to say to me. My forehead creased a bit.
"Oh, Sam?"
"Prof Ana said, go to the dean's office. Now. Someone wants to talk to you."
I frowned even more.
"Who?"
"I do not know?" She shrugged. "But whatever it is, it's definitely good news. Prof smiled as he said that.”
Even though I was wondering, I just nodded. He immediately said goodbye and went back inside. I turned to Javier again. I said I still had to go to the

I thought everything will flow just like how I wanted them to be. I thought everything was okay. I won the competition. I even got a spot on my dream school. The things I had hoped for the most happened.But in the days that followed, many things happened that I did not expect. Events that I didn't see coming. Events that caught me off guard. Events that I tried to ignore just to reach my goal."I-I... don't know what to do to console him, Elena..." Hearing my mother's soft sobs made me weak. "It's been days but he's still unresponsive. He's always drinking and not even eating well." She sobbed again. And all I can do is to hug her. A hug that I don’t know if will alleviate the grief she feels. But this is the least I can do.Two days after I received the offer from Madame Linton, Revo started suffering from an emotional break down. News of the plane crash shocked his sanity.In all my life, I have never seen Revo like that. He's always composed in

We are happy even though we are far away from each other and don't always see each other. He was my inspiration in everything that I do. He was all I think of every time I'm having a hard time in school. When I miss him and my family, his voice alone is enough to calm me down."Merry Christmas, love." Bending a bit, he kissed my nose and cheek. We were on the balcony of the house, watching the fireworks display above.I smiled. Even though he is the only one with me now, I feel so happy. Mama promised that they'll come here tomorrow, though.She couldn’t leave today because she’s worried about Revo. She told me he was drunk again. I understand it. Also, they knew that Rage is going to keep me accompanied, so they must be thinking that I will be alright. I understand it, I’m also worried about my brother. I hope he would recover from his loss soon. I know it won’t be easy, that’s for sure, but it’s the nature of life. We lose s

"Hey, what's wrong with you, Elena? Your class standing isn't good anymore. You know, it's better not to worry too much about what's going on around you. It's your dream so I'm just reminding you why you are here. You dreamed for this! And if you continue that, you will be expelled!”I sighed at what Timmy said. I no longer knew what to do. I am preoccupied of all that's happening. I can't even do schoolwork well.She sighed heavily. "If that love is distracting you, then I must say, choose wisely. I think because, it looks like you can't combine study and relationship. So the decision is up to you, Elena. Choose what's more important now. "What he said bothered me that night. What she said has a point. But no... I don't want to choose. I don't want to let go of him. I cannot do it.But... we're both having a hard time.Gradually, this relationship becomes an obstacle to our roles in each other's lives. Before I came here, I promised to myse

I stared down on my coffee lips are pursed while looking at the hot liquid with nothing but coldness written on my face.It's my third winter here in Las Vegas. Yet here I am, nothing could warm the coldness inside me. I have been alone here for two years. I haven't seen Morris in two years. The night he said 'I love you' was also the night he left, the night when we cut our ties. The night when all I did was cry until dawn broke.Everything has an end. Only that, our relationship was cut shorter than it should be.And all I can do was to accept it, to move on and live my life without him."Coffee is meant to be drank, not to be stared at."I looked up when I heard that voice. A grin was plastered on his face as he sat across me. He set down coffee and a plate of brownies on the table."What are you thinking, huh?"I sipped on my coffee. "Never mind, Wilson. It's just nonsense things."Wilson together with his fam

"Are you sure about this, Elena?" Doubt can be seen on Wilson's eyes when I told him I'll be going back home next month."Do I look like I'm kidding, Wilson?" I sipped on my cocktail. "I told you, I want to build my first restaurant there." I crossed my legs and stared at him.She shrugged. "In that case, let's go together. My project will end by the third week of this month."I grinned and shot my brow up. "You really don't want to be separated from me, do you? Don't tell me you want something from me now?" My eyes are challenging. Despite the topic, I don't find it awkward when it comes to him. And I know the same is true of him. We are just very good friends.His laughter was accompanied by the music around. "You're too confident, Maddy.""I always am."He shook his head and grinned. "But seriously, I am worried. Are you ready to face Morris again? You don't even know what's happening on his life now. Don't you want to know? You know, so

I shook my head while looking in the mirror, examining my outfit for the night. It's a crimson red dress flowing down to my knees. My killer heels are also red, as well as my lips. All of those made me look fiercer.I sighed and picked up the cellphone on the table. I typed a text for Wilson.She is my escort tonight. His family got an invitation, too. But he would have had no intention of going there if I hadn't just taken him. I think I would be more comfortable if he was there.Me:Where are you? I'm ready.I looked at my reflection once more before getting my silver purse and walk out of the room. I walked quietly down the hall.A few seconds later, my phone beeped.Wilson:I'm outside.My lips twitched as I stepped down on the grand staircase. I put them first Mama and said Wilson and I would go together. I saw the disapproval in Revo's face, but he also did nothing without hesitation Mama agreed.She loves W

When I calmed down, I let go of Wilson's hug. He handed me a handkerchief which I immediately wiped with the tears running down my cheek, as well as the mascara that spread under my eyes. It made me look horrible so I immediately wiped it. But it didn’t do well so I wet the handkerchief a bit. Wet wipes would be better, but I don't have it now so I'll settle for this.I quickly adjusted myself and retouched so as not to notice that I was crying. Now, it's my pride that's all I have. And the least thing I could do is to save it.After I got satisfied on my look, I turned to him. We can't stay here long because someone might have entered."Are you okay?" he asked gently. The look is predictable.I tightened my grip on the purse and smiled sparingly."Let's go. I am fine now."He sighed and nodded. He held my waist and opened the door. We quietly returned to the hall. I saw Mama, they were at the same table with Aunt Laura. Cheska wasn't

After Wilson and I met, he had to go back to the office so he immediately said goodbye.Since I had nothing else to do for the day, I just went to the mall and bought clothes and some cosmetics. If only Neri or Timmy were here I would be happy today. But sadly, they're both busy with their lives.I didn't buy that much so I was able to carry the paper bags alone. I took a taxi home. In fact, I can call our driver and pick him up, but it's okay for me to commute."Gilda, please take it upstairs to the room," I commanded upon arriving at the mansion.I frowned when I heard a noise in the pool. I walked over to the double doors and peeked in there. I was stuck on the stand when I saw that Rage is with them!Why are they still here? I thought they had already left!"Hey, Elena!" I was shocked when Livius called. I rained down on him cheaply in my mind. "You're home! What? How's the date?" He laughed and went up to the pool then wiped himself.

Rage's POV"Oh, Elena is here." Jonas pointed to the girl wearing a pale pink dress. She was staring at the piano with her curious innocent eyes.His candle-like fingers traced the space in front of the piano. The amazement was etched on her pale face. Looking down, his long lashes were sharpened. Those have little curls at the end, making her eyes look so soft.Her hair is longer compared to previous visits. Although I heard she's only nine, the way she looks and moves told me she's older than that. Her demeanor was refined even as a child. And she has that paper white skin that I always notice every time it turns to pinkish white, when it's sunny or when from tiredness every time she helps her Mama."She's so pretty, isn't she? I'll make her my girlfriend once she's thirteen or fourteen," Carson said to me immediately."Why don't you prioritize your project? You're not here to fancy a little girl, Carson.""Ow. You sound like you're too ol

"Congrats! Another successful performance!" Luke hugged me at the same time, while Rita was still in tears by our side."You're really good, Miss Elena!”Many more greetings happened backstage. Rose and Brenda, who had a banner before, didn't give up. It wasn't the first concert I had, but it felt like the happiest. Not because there were more spectators, but because they were waiting for me below the stage.When I entered the dressing room, I did not hesitate to find him. He was leaning on the small table, staring at the gifts I received from the fans.I slowed down and stared at him intently. He's now staring darkly at the boxes of chocolates. His brows furrowed, seemed so annoyed at the innocent chocolates."You like

After the show, we returned to the city and Rage took me home. He said he would pick me up at six o'clock tomorrow. Although he assured me that his family will surely like me, that didn't ease my nervousness.I know I have achieved so much. But I still can’t get over the thought that many women are more deserving of him. He's holding two of the companies under their empire, if he chooses a woman in line with his track, he has a partner in management. To think it was easier for him then. It's an advantage he didn't take."Elena, answer me, will you? I've asked a question here before but you don't answer me!" Luke sighed as he followed my movements.I was busy finding an appropriate dress while he was prying around. Of course now that we're on our own he hasn't missed it yet. I'm sure he was very eager to ask me earlier. Only now was given the chance so I wasn’t let go."Are you really? Something happened to you? How was he in your suite earlier

In drowsiness, my eyes warmed as I leaned against his chest. He caresses my hair as silence prevails over us. All happened too fast, I can't help but close my eyes and remember all of it bit by bit. If I wasn't drowning to him before, now I can say I'm drowned, and I might not be able to get up again."I won't go to work tomorrow," he said.I looked up at him, eyes wide. He lifted my head a bit, he adjusted the overlap of my head on his arm. He then snaked his arm on my waist, resting his hand on my hip."It's okay. It's also my last mall show here in Laguna. I'll be back in Manila right after. Just go home tomorrow."His eyes darkened, the reluctance was surely screaming in his head."I don't have important meetings tomorrow. Why can't I skip even just a day? Besides, I can make time for you always. I want to be with you. One more thing, I hope I have a plan for us tomorrow night. Will that be okay? "I looked up at him even more. He crouch
The Assassin and The Alpha 70: Promise Me
I was busy for the next few weeks. Rage visits me regularly. We can't go out much because my schedule is hectic. On top of that, I also avoid the people so I can’t go to crowded places. I didn't hear any complaints from him, though. I also lost my fear of Lyka because they were already locked up and Rage made sure that they could not get out again.I was shocked when Lyka's mother asked for an appointment with me. He talked to Rita and since it seemed like he had no bad intentions, I agreed. It was true, she didn't mean any harm. In fact, he met with me to apologize for what Lyka had done. She said, it was her fault she didn't guide her enough to be a good person. I said it wasn't his fault. It was Lyka's choice to take the wrong path.We always have a choice to be good or bad. That is not the fault of the people around us. It is our own will to choose what we want. And sometimes, we tend to do things we know could hurt other people."Ma'am, there are flow
The Assassin and The Alpha 69: Nothing is Less
When we got out of the car I adjusted the bag on my shoulder before facing Rage. "Don't go up. I can go alone from here," I told him and pointed to the elevator.I noticed that the security of the whole building was tightened even more, and even here in the car park the guard increased."I'll walk you to your door," he insisted.I bit my lower lip subtly and just nodded to avoid an argument. If I contradict him, the conversation will be long. And I am still embarrassed of how I confessed earlier at his penthouse. I can't believe I had the guts to say that to him. And when I remember his reaction it was like someone was drumming in my chest. I've never seen him that surprised... and genuinely happy."Is Luke already inside?" he asked as we confessed to my unit.I nodded. “Maybe already asleep...""Okay. Get inside," he demanded softly.I nodded. "Are you going back to the penthouse?""No. I'll sleep at home first because D
The Assassin and The Alpha 68: Finally Home
Elena’s POVWe used the chopper to go back to the city. At the helipad of the MG building the chopper landed, and I didn’t expect who were waiting for me there. Luke, Rita and Rose were there. As well as Georgia and Zoren. But what surprised me was to see who was on the side of the five of them."Livius..." I whispered under my breath."Put this on," Rage said and handed me his black coat.I nodded and put it above my sleeveless dress. She helped me fix my wind-blown hair before we approached the waiters."Elena!" Luke's voice can surely break walls. He couldn't wait any longer. He met me halfway and hugged me tightly."I'm glad we met again! It's finally all over! I missed you so much, K! You worried me so much too!""You made us all worry, Elena. I just found out everything that happened yesterday. Why didn't you tell us? Mommy and I could have helped you," Georgia said.I let go of Luke's hug and faced them. My e

Rage’s POVI can feel my hands slightly trembling. Fuck. Why does she have to hurt me over and over again? She's the only one who can hurt me like this. Only her. But why does she keep on hurting me?Confused and pained, I followed her steps. I gently touched her arm once calling her name. She faced me with anger in her eyes. She violently removed the arm from my grasp."What? Didn't you hear me? I said, go out! Get out!""Why are you doing this to me?" I asked weakly.She told me she'll visit me on my office. But he did not come. Worst, she was nowhere to be found. I'm very worried. I even ditched my meeting with a foreign supplier and canceled the rest of my appointments because I was busy searching for her for the last six fucking hours!Then can I reach him like that? Kissing the bastard that was beaten up? She didn’t know how dark my vision was when I saw them in that position! For the first time in my life, I felt like I ca
The Assassin and The Alpha 66: Misunderstanding
I gasped a few times as I stared at the sea. I don’t know what came to mind and I went here in El Fuego. But I don't have anywhere else to go. Well, not literally. I mean I couldn't think of another place to go. Maybe because my mind is clouded with the things that’s going on so I can’t think clearly.I'm angry, that's the truth. I am angry at what is happening in my life. Yesterday, everything was okay, I was happy. But suddenly all of these shits happened. Seriously? Don’t want to stay happy with me? I'm not doing anything wrong, ah? Why doesn't destiny want me to be happy? Am I a cruel person? I know I'm not that good. But I also know that I'm not that involved. So why is this? Why do I have to shed tears over and over again?"Crying won't make you look pretty."I looked at the person speaking next to me who I didn’t even realize was approaching me. Recognizing who it was my jaw dropped in shock. It's been years since I last saw
