She just recently finished taking the most hurdled exam in their country; the Lawyer’s Bar Examination. For a year, she focused on reviewing, oblivious of everything around her. It’s now time to celebrate with Jethross, his boyfriend for almost three years already. She had so many lapses in their relationship during the time that she was reviewing for this BAR Examination. While sitting now at the driver’s seat of her blue, old Toyota corolla, she heard the ringing of her mobile phone. It was her friend Sarah. “Hey friend, what’s up? I just finished the exam now. I wanted to jump! I am free at last hahaha. I will be going to Jethross to invite him for a celebration. You know, I need to make up things for him.” Happily, Yhera blurted out to her friend, who just ke
I Yhera blinked her eyes and tears slowly rolled down. She could not contain herself from crying every time he heard that song by John Denver. It was an old song. A song offered to her by a man who deeply wounded her heart. The song of John Denver... For You... Yhera could still remember how this song touched her soul that made her fall in love with Jethross... The song goes on... for you, for the rest of my life, for you, for the best of my life... for you alone... only for you... It was a promise that Jethross failed to keep. Yhera wiped her tears and started the ignition of her new, top of the line, black Montero. F
I Yhera vividly saw it, she was standing at the middle of a bridge, in a place too unfamiliar with her; down the bridge were gushing wild water while everywhere she focused her eyes, she could see mountainous views. It seemed like she was lost, alone and the sky was beginning to get dark; then from nowhere a red jaguar car was in its full speed, coming nearer and nearer until it almost hit her! Yhera shouted so loud, she was so afraid for her life. She automatically covered her eyes and sobbed endlessly, until strong arms hugged her tightly. Yhera tried to wrestle and to free herself but she can't move, the arms around her were too strong, "Ahhhhhh!" "Yher, Yher wake up," her Mom's worried face was the first thing she saw. She was awakened from such nightmare. "Are you okay Yher? Would you want me to
I Edsa was not quite that traffic. Yhera arrived in her office earlier than she expected, however, her secretary as usual was already in the office when she arrived. Mila was always an early bird and she felt lucky to have her as her secretary. "Good morning Atty. Yher," Mila was all smiles. Yhera replied with a nod and a good morning too plus a warm smile. "Hmmm, your smile will be much brighter, once you see what's inside your office" "What is it Mila?" "Come and see, Attorney"
I Earlymorning, Yhera hurriedly get out of the elevator of the condominium where she stays. It is a twenty Eight (28) story condominium at the heart of Makati City, with full amenities that a tenant or condo owner would ask for. She loves the lap pool, the gym, the mall inside, with a cinema, grocery, restaurants and a lot more. She just moved - in here just two (2) months ago after fully paying the one (1) unit to its previous owner. Oww, how she loves her life right now. A good career ... a supportive family ... happy friends ... travels ... a good home and a lot more to thank for. She doesn't need a headache. She doesn't need a man beside her except her two (2) great male friends... Tony and Buddy. Hamming like she used to do when in good mood, Yhera's voice was almost in its full magnitude of joy. She started hamming a song while walking to
I“So, what made you busy Seigfred?" Buddy seemed to be in the mood of talking.“Some stuff in the office, a little drink here and there, having good meals like this with wonderful people I know,” the man’s voice was joking, but he could not yet erase from his mind that arm of Buddy squeezing Yhera closed to him, a while ago.Buddy laughed and then inquired again, “Where did you meet our friend?”“Mall parking,” Seifgred answered laughing as he remembered how Yhera felt disgusted over him.“Really, did she bump your car?" Tony laughed as he inquired.“No, he bumped my car!” Yhera
ISeigfred excitedly turned on the ignition of his red jaguarcar. On his sent message to Atty. Yhera, he said he was already on his way. This is his chance and he would not want the woman to wait nor even think of retracting her favourable response a while ago.Atty. Yhera was in the verge of laughing out loud when she received Seigfred Yee’s message, which states, “Hurray, I’m on my way Atty. Yhera, don’t ever think of changing your answer.”This man indeed is very persistent. Atty. Yhera, shakes her head in disbelief.Just after around forty-five minutes, Seigfred was already at the office of Atty. Yhera. With him following were delivery boys of flowers and chocolates and Big Guys Pizza.Atty. Yhera’s secretary and other staff of the law firm including the other lawyers were so happy with Seigfred. They even joked the man that he is wel
IYhera could not believe what she just saw. It has been years since the last time she saw Jethross. The man seemed to age fast. She clearly saw it in his face now. He looked old and unsophisticated and his wife ... well, Yhera stopped herself from saying anything demeaning. She was not raised like that. She just then shrugged-off her shoulders and drove her Montero. Atty. Yhera did not feel anything anymore to Jethross, not even hate.As she arrived home, she told her Mom about Jethross. Her Mom’s anger immediately has been shown on her face.“Good thing, I was not with you when you saw him. It has been long that I really wanted to slap his face.” Atty. Yhera’s Mom said with sparks of anger in her eyes.“I’m okay now Mom, so relax, I moved on already. It was good that I saw him because I realized that I have really moved on from such pains that he ca
I A few days have passed and Atty. Yhera and Seigfred stayed like they are always in their honeymoon stage until they returned both to their works. They found out more about Shandall being the mastermind too of shooting Atty. Yhera based on the report of Atty. Yhera's friend at the NBI. It brought anger again to Atty. Yhera, and more so to Seigfred. But seeing how happy his best friend, Buddy is now with Shandall, Atty. Yhera tried to pacify her heart and once again decided not to sue Shandall. Seigfred was not actually amenable to that. "She should suffer the consequences of her action, Sweetheart. She might do it again," Seigfred said hissingly. He wanted Shandall to be punished for hiring someone to shoot Yhera, yet the latter pacified him. "I am certain that Shandall is now happily in love with Buddy, Sweety. She only did that out of love for you. Now, that she is happy with Buddy, I am sure she will not do it again. I do not have the heart to kill that love now between my best
I Seigfred, who was getting more curious, asked again, “Tell me, Sweety, who was the mastermind in ruining our wedding this morning?” His tone was not sweet anymore, rather, it was the tone that he usually uses as the CEO/President of his multi-billion Dollar Company.“It was Shandall, according to that woman, who intruded in the church during our wedding. As reported by the police officer, that woman admitted that she was being paid by Shandall fifty thousand pesos just to ruin our wedding. Unfortunately, she did not succeed.” Atty. Yhera said with a frown. She could not comprehend how a woman of intelligence, education, and wealth could do such a nasty thing. Surprised, Seigfred looked at his wife shaking his head. “I never thought Shandall could do that.” “So, I thought too. I was actually thinking, it might be the camp of Conrad Zhang, to make me devastated again, and hence, I could not be able to focus on handling your case against him,” Atty. Yhera said with disbelief also. “
IEverybody became silent as they all looked at the young, pretty woman, with a little bit protruding tummy.“Mr. Seigfred Lee, this baby is yours. You impregnated me and now you are marrying someone else?” the wedding intruder said aloud causing commotion inside the church. The Priest looked at Seigfred with an inquisitive look.Making a deep breath, Seigfred looked back at the priest. “Don’t believe in this lie, Father. For a moment, I will handle this,” Seigfred said calmly. He faced their wedding intruder, while Atty. Yhera was just calmly standing eyeing the woman with an unfathomable expression.“Who are you woman and why are you trying to ruin our wedding?” Seigfred asked in his authoritative voice.The woman lifted his chin and replied, “Charmaine Solver. We had a one-night stand!”Seigfred’s eyes squinted, “I do not have
IAs scheduled the wedding of Seigfred and Atty. Yhera will finally be happening. Today, Atty. Yhera, who is now fully recuperated is inside a five-star hotel, being prepared by her overall beautician and assistant make-up artist for her wedding, which will soon happen, two hours from now.After an hour, Atty. Yhera is already wearing her bridal gown, which made her look more stunning plus her make-up and curled hair, giving her a very elegant look.She looked at herself in the mirror and a happy smile crept from her lips reaching out to her eyes. She looked like an excited and so much in love bride, which is actually the truth.“Atty. Yhera, you look so lovely, elegant, and absolutely stunning. I am sure, Mr. Seigfred will not leave his eyes from you once he saw you, walked down the aisle,” the beautician said admiringly.“Thank you,” Atty. Yhera answered sincerely and smilingly. She took her mobile phone from h
IWith a furrowed forehead and surprised expression, Seigfred looked at the woman in front of him. What on earth brought her here today? He thought, wondering.“Hello, Mr. Seigfred Yee. Are you surprised?” the woman said in her most alluring smile. She is wearing an all-black, above-the-knee, sleeveless, fitted dress partnered with red stiletto heels. The dress gave justice to her curvaceous body and big enough breasts.“Ms. Shandall, what are you doing here?” Still furrowing, Seigfred asked.“Oh, I just learned what happened to Atty. Yhera. I brought some fruits for her, fresh from our farm in Laguna and of course two of my books that she can read while confined in her bed,” Shandall replied smilingly as she put on his round coffee table the basket of fruits with a bouquet of white roses.Seigfred slowly smiled. “Thank you Ms. Shandall. Have a seat please,” he said as she pointed to her the chair in
I"Doctor, how is my daughter?" Mommy Lily stood up and asked with worry on her face."We already removed the bullet in her shoulder, just an inch away from her heart. She is still lucky. We need blood for her because she lost a lot already. Anyone with A+ type of blood in the family?" The head doctor said."I am Doctor," Mommy Lily readily replied."Then please come with us Ma'am," the Doctor said with relief in his expression.The operation and blood transfusion went well and eventually Atty. Yhera was moved out of the operation room.Seigfred stayed beside Atty. Yhera. He would only leave the hospital if there are urgent things to do in his office. He works online most of the time while inside his fiancee's hospital suite.While looking at his sleeping fiancee, Seigfred smiled as he remembered how they have met and how things flourished for both of them. She was so distant and cold trying for no one to penetrate her heart but he wa
ISeigfred almost curse when he heard the loud thud at the back of his car. They were already beside the street, who would dare bumped their car. Seigfred and Atty. Yhera quickly got out of their car to check.What they saw is a man in full black attire, with a full-face helmet riding on a big black motorbike. Before they could further move, the man took a gun and shot the two back wheels of Seigfred’s car. The gun was with a silencer. He then pointed his gun to Atty. Yhera. Before Seigfred could move he heard his fiancee’s scream and saw her, slowly fell to the ground.At that point, the man in the motorbike already fled fast.“Yheraaaa!!!” Seigfred shouted in shock as he ran towards his fiancee on the other side of the car. Yhera was almost lifeless when he took her into his arms and ran shouting for help.A white SUV stopped in front of them and immediately the driver got out and helped Seigfred put Yhera in the back seat
IDuring lunchtime, Shandall was extra attentive to Buddy and even introduced him to Jethross, to which Buddy just laughed.“Shandall, you don’t need to introduced Jethross to us, we know him well,” Buddy said while nodding at Jethross.“Ahh, yeah, I remembered. Jethross and Atty. Yhera has been in a relationship for more than two years and they were even about to be married? Right Jethross?” Shandall asked Jethross, as if she just suddenly thought about it. The truth was, she learned about the love story between Jethross and Atty. Yhera, when she invited Jethross to attend her book launching and mentioned that she has special guests, the man that she rescued from death, Jethross asked who and was shocked to know that she was talking about Seigfred Yee. From that point, Jethross was able to mention that Seigfred Yee’s fiancee was his ex-girlfriend for more than two years.Jethross simply nodded. He does not want t
I“Yher!” Someone at their backs called Atty. Yhera’s nickname. Atty. Yhera immediately turned around to check who called him and to her surprise, he saw him, standing tall and smiling.“Jethross, how are you?” Atty. Yhera smiled in return as she gently held Seigfred’s hand.“Hi, Yher and Seigfred. I am fine. Just bought something. Are you here for shopping too?” Jethross asked, his eyes fixed on Atty. Yhera.“Actually, we attended a friend’s book launching and signing at that bookstore.” Atty. Yhera replied while pointing to the nearby bookstore where Shandall held her book launching and signing."Do you mean to say, Miss Shandall's book launching and signing?" Jethross asked surprised."Yes. Do you know her, Seigfred?" It was Segfreid who asked.Seigfred smiled and nodded
