With a fast-beating heart out of excitement and anticipation of seeing Seigfred again, Atty. Yhera would usually gasp for air to breathe. She is becoming restless. This is the reason why, her friend at the NBI did not allow her to drive her Montero car, instead, asked her to join them in the NBI’s SUV car.
“Relax Yher; now that Siegfred has been found already and seemed to be fine since he was able to remember you and your mobile number, everything will then eventually solve,” Jim said as he tapped Atty. Yhera’s right shoulder.
“Yes Jim, everything will be solved soon. I will not take it so easy with this Conrad Zhang. I will make sure he will rot in hell,” Atty. Yhera hissed, her blood is now boiling again against the accused.
“Easy Yher, haha; I know you can easily do that to him. Now, relax and put some powder because our boat is already nearing the beac
I The time seemed to freeze and the world stopped moving. All Atty. Yhera could feel was Seigfred’s beating heart and his lips that tried to let her forget the pains she was into when he was found missing. “Seigfred, let’s go home,” she murmured after he released her from his kisses. Seigfred nodded. “Yes, Sweetheart, we will go home now.” And then Seigfred looked at Doctor Pol and Shandall. “Dr. Pol and Ms. Shandall, I owe both of you big time. I know thank you both would not be enough. Please let me know how I could repay you,” Seigfred said smiling at the two while holding Atty, Yhera’s hand. “You are welcome Mr. Seigfred, your sincere thank you is enough,” Dr. Pol said in his usual gentle tone. Looking at Dr. Pol, Atty. Yhera suddenly remembered Sarah, her best friend. A naughty thought came into her mind.
I “Brace yourself, Sweety, we are getting near,” Seigfred said while giving his fiancee a mysterious smile. “Getting near where?” Atty. Yhera asked with an excited voice that made Seigfred’s smile grew wider. “Closed your eyes, Sweety, we are almost there,” Seigfred said smilingly. He too is becoming excited. “Alright, here I go, closing my eyes as you said so Sweety.” She teasingly said as she closed her eyes obediently. Seigfred’s smile became, even more, wider, when he saw the place, she will be bringing her. He then put a halt to his car and then faced Atty. Yhera, who slowly opened her eyes when she felt their car stopped. “Sweety, where are we?” she asked while furrowing. They are inside a subdivision, which she knows only billionaires could afford. She could see stunning houses like castles, elegant, big, and truly amazing. Some houses are even patterned after some European-style
I “Seigfred, this is … this house, I mean this home is absolutely extravagant. But you have a lot of houses already, why do you have to build another one?” Atty. Yhera asked still with a face flashing with astonishment. Seigfred smiled widely as he cupped her face. “Because you deserve something better Yhera. This will be our main family home and the rest will just be for vacation or in case we need to stay there.” “What can I say more Seigfred? Nothing more, but thank you and I love you,” she said with a hint of tears about to fall from her eyes. They have been through a lot these past days and all she wanted is to be with Seigfred. Everything other than him is but mere bonuses for her. “I love you more Yhera. We have been in a stressful situation these past days and I wanted to make it up to you. Somehow, I am guilty of not letting you know that to stop Rho
I And so the case for murder, for killing Rhoda Tolentino; kidnapping and serious illegal detention, for taking forcefully, detaining, and depriving Mr. Seigfred Yee of his liberty for more than a week has been charged against Conrad Zhang, to which he pleaded not guilty despite of glaring pieces of evidence and strong witnesses that would definitely pin him down. When it was time for Atty. Yhera to ask Seigfred what really happened to prepare for his defense, only then that Atty. Yhera fully understood the circumstances. She knew very well now how to nail Mr. Conrad Zhang in his toes. After the first hearing, which was the arraignment, to which Mr. Conrad Zhang pleaded not guilty they need to wait for the next hearing or the Pre-trial conference, which was scheduled almost a month from the arraignment hearing day. As such, Atty. Yhera made sure that they will be fully prepar
I Hearing those voices, Atty. Yher smiled and glanced at Seigfred. “You really know, how to make me happy, Sweety,” she quipped and gave him a quick peck on his right cheek. Seigfred just made a hearty laugh and pulled her closer again to his side. “Buddy! Tony! Goodness, you two are here,” she joyfully said as they approached her two best buddies. “Of course! We have been following up Seigfred time and again of his promise to bring us to his beach resort here in Batangas,” Buddy replied winking. “Oh, so he is your best friend now and not me anymore?” She put her hands on her hips and glared at her friend, Buddy, teasingly. Then their waves of laughter mixed into the breezy, salty air on the beach. “Girl, Tony and I are so happy seeing that you are well again. Take good care of that happines
I Buddy was really captivated by Ms. Shandall’s charm and Atty. Yhera easily noticed it. “Ms. Shandall, are you still staying in your beach resort until now?” Atty. Yhera asked wanting to have a longer conversation with the novelist for the sake of her friend Buddy, who is still looking at Ms. Shandall without batting an eye. Ms. Shandall nodded and smiled, “Yes, Atty, Yhera, I might be there for a month until I finished my latest novel.” Buddy furrowed upon hearing what Ms. Shandall has said. “Latest novel? You are a writer?” he asked in awe. Ms. Shandall looked at Buddy and nodded, “Yes, Mr. Buddy, I am more into writing novels.” “Wow, awesome. I want to read your books Ms. Shandall,” Buddy said with his bright eyes wonderfully looking at the novelist in front of her. Ms. Shandall's smile
I Atty. Yhera’s eyes narrowed while looking at Shandall who sweetly greeted Seigfred as if no one is around but them. She could feel her desire towards Seigfred and she did not like what she is seeing and what she is feeling. “Ahmm, Ms. Shandall, remember my friend Buddy here and also this is Tony another good friend of ours,” Atty. Yhera interrupted the novelist in her attempt to flirt simply with Seigfred. She then gently hold Seigfred’s right hand and squeezed it. Seigfred looked at Atty. Yhera, who is smiling at her, and in a second, he could understand what’s in her mind. He gently removed his hand from her hand and wrapped her shoulders instead with his arm. “Oh, hello Buddy and Tony, nice meeting you both. And by the way Buddy and Tony, this is Dr. Pol, the one who took good care of Mr. Seigfred when he was here,” Ms. Shandall said trying to plaster a warm smile on her face. Tony and Buddy, both offered a
I Buddy was not joking. This is what Atty. Yhera, Seigfred, and Tony realized when he did extend his vacation for another two weeks. "Buddy, I admire you friend. Shandall is so lucky if she will really give you the opportunity to enter her life," Atty. Yhera said as she patted her best friend's right shoulder. Unlike before, he cannot hug Buddy or Tony anymore, especially when Seigfred is around. Her fiance, sad to say got jealous every time she did that before. So, she is careful now. With everything they went through, she does not want to do things that could hurt him, even if it might be actually baseless. "Yeah, I agree Sweety. Shandall should give you a chance Buddy. By the way, her book signing is next week, you can join us. She invited us and we will attend." It was Seigfred who said these words, smilingly. Buddy nodded. "Wow, that's nice, I will join you, but be
