2022-02-21 12:56:03"So, you come here often?" Wilson asked when we arrived at the orphanage. We watched the kids play on the playground. Mom was talking with the nuns.
"Yes. I used to go with Mom. We've been supporting her for a decade." I turned around for a moment. I thought Sage and the others will come?
"I thought you didn't want to see him? Who are you looking for?" Wilson asked sarcastically.
I stared at him.
"Who says I'm looking for him? I'm just wondering why my cousin isn't here yet. Don't worry about that."
He chuckled. I just looked back at the kids.
"Nah. You’re just creating lame excuses. Supposedly cousin but—ouch!" He winced at my pinch. I wanted to pinch him again but he immediately grabbed my hand and smiled.
"Hi Sage!" cry of a child staring behind us.
I quickly turned around there and my heart almost jumped with excitement when Rage and I caught sight of him standing next to my cousin. He's wearing a gray shirt and

My heart pounded so fast.Rico quickly waved his hand to get the driver's attention. Maybe he's not the one inside, right? Why would he come here, anyway? But, that’s a Cardillac. People here don't have such luxurious four wheel drive!I got even more nervous when the car stopped in front of us. I couldn’t see who was inside because the glass was heavy tinted."Are you talking to me, Miss Elena?" Rico asked.The car door opened. I couldn't speak and just parted my lips when I saw who came out of there. Rage is on his jeans and black plain shirt. Immediately his eyes turned to me."Sir Rage!" Rico called happily. As for me I definitely don’t look like the face anymore."What happened?""Flat tire, sir.""Why are you here?" I asked softly."Revo told me to come here."My forehead furrowed. Why would Revo do that? He knows I’m not comfortable around Rage!"And why is that?"He lo

I spent the rest of the day on my room. It rained all day outside so I had no choice but to stay inside the mansion. I thought that if I just stayed downstairs Rage might not leave. I want to avoid him as much as I can."Timmy...""Oh? Why do you seem to be in trouble?" She laughed on the other line.I heaved and opened the door towards the balcony. I took a deep breath and held on to the cold railing while staring at the staggering rainwater outside."I'm with him.""With who?"I could not speak. Later I heard Timmy's deep breathing."Oh my... don't tell me you're with your ex ?!"I stayed silent."My gosh, Elena. Why are you two together? How? Where? What happened?" he asked in succession."Easy, Tim. Well... I just needed to do something. Mama and Papa are on a business trip. My brother is busy with the company and his personal affairs. So I presented that I will go to our plantation to supervise the harvesting

It was past twelve when we returned to the mansion for lunch. Like last night we were just quiet at the table.I can feel the heavy atmosphere surrounding us. Until now, I feel angry with Rage. But what really makes him angry? If coming here is just a burden, then he's free to leave!"If you don't want to go there, it's okay with me..." I took a deep breath and looked at him. "You don't need to be with me all the time."He gazed at me darkly."I'll come," he said stiffly.I sighed and shrugged. Although I want to object, I don't want to prolong our conversation. It would just make my head ache.After eating our lunch, he washed the dishes. I scratched the fridge and thought of something to cook. Of course, I don't want to come to Rhea's birthday empty-handed. I can't give a gift because I haven't prepared. So I'm thinking, this would do."You'll cook?" he asked. He wipes his hand while I am in front of the island counter, cutting up f

"Thank you for accepting our invitation, Elena, Rage," Cora said as we headed home. It was six o'clock in the afternoon so the sky was a bit dark. Lucio was already drunk that time so we're not able to bid our goodbyes to him."Nothing," I said and smiled."Take care."I nodded. "Seriously, Rhea, we will go ahead."Serio nodded and smiled. So did the younger brother.Rage opened the car's door for me. I slid inside silently and watched him turn to the driver's seat. He stared at me after entering, an expectant look.I shook my head and frowned."What's with the look?"He shook his head and fasten his seatbelt. I did the same."You're tired?" he asked softly."Not so...""Sleepy?""Not yet."He nodded and started the car. But my eyes narrowed when he's driving towards the wrong way. Instead of making his way to the mansion, on the other hand he turned, away from there. I looked at him curiously

One look at the luxurious room, anyone would know it's a presidential suite. On the long sofa was already my duffel bag that Rage had given to a bellboy when we arrived earlier. Still frustrated of the things he said earlier, I heaved and looked at him."Why just one suite? Get me another one, Rage.”I don't know what's running on his mind and why he acted that way. But that won't change the fact that he's with another woman. I shouldn't meddle in anything that they have. I shouldn’t send in the impulse. I should be rational, not impulsive. Although I was confused by what he said, I still had to control myself. But if he's just doing this to make fun of me or to prove something, I don't know what to do anymore.Rage sighed. "Fine. You'll stay here. I'm in the next suite."I nodded. "Good." I looked around before walking over to the sofa and sitting there. I crossed my legs. His eyes cockily followed my every move. I was taken aback by the way

For several minutes, I remained on that position, thoughts were running on my head while staring at the closed door where I last saw him. I just stared there, sometimes biting my lip and closing my eyes tightly, sometimes shaking, hoping to have a decision on what to do in the situation. Would it be right to confess to him knowing that he's in a relationship? But why did he even say that? Why else would he make me feel like he was still feeling something. I scratched my forehead. Then he almost jumped in panic when there was a knock on the door. It's not Rage, I'm sure. He came in earlier while I was sleeping, what about now? Also, he just came out so it's unlikely to come back right away especially from what happened earlier. Reluctantly I stood up and opened up to whoever was outside. Later on, I realized it's just a bellboy. He was carrying an empty food cart. He politely asked if I had finished eating. After nodding, he asked permission to go in. Of cours

I could feel something hot wrapped around my waist. Upon remembering what happened last night, I slowly opened my eyes. Rage’s face flashed at me. His eyes were closed and he slept soundly next to me while hugging me tight.Even while sleeping, he looks so handsome. His face is peaceful and it seems like he’s very comfortable to sleep. I really can't believe we just did it last night.I stared at him for a few minutes, silently memorizing each line on his face."Marry me, Elena.”My eyes rolled not because he suddenly woke up but because of what he just said.Is what I heard correct?Slowly, he opened his eyes. I froze as I looked at his dark soulful eyes. It was full of emotion while staring at me. Emotions I can't explain in the mind. But those emotions are making my heart pound so hard and fast.I sneezed and was about to pull his arm away from my waist when he pulled me closer and hugged me even more. I took a de

"Elena, are you really okay? Let's go to the hospital first..." Rage asked again while driving. He asked me that question for already a few times.I sighed, eyes fixed on the outside, no intention of looking at him. My chest still hurts like hell. Even hearing her voice was painful for me. So the more I need to distance myself to him as soon as possible."I'm fine," I couldn't contain the irritation in my voice.I heard him sigh heavily. Fortunately, he didn't insist on what he wanted. After we left Batangas, he asked again."Are you hungry? We can do drive thru.""No, I'm not..." was my short reply without glancing at him.After a two -hour drive, we were in Manila. We didn't say a word in the car, but out of the corner of my eye I noticed his steady glance at me. Every time we stopped because of traffic, he just stared at me as if someone wanted to ask or say something but in the end chose not to speak.As soon as the car stopped in

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
