Chapter 7.2"Do you know what kind of girl you're with Wyatt?" Wyatt stopped walking and I can feel that he’s raging mad right now. "She's been with a different kind of man, old or not. She's selling her fle—" Even before Fred could finish what he wanted to say, Wyatt approached him and punched him.Everything happened so fast that I didn't even feel him leave my side and now he was in front of Fred."Oh my God! Wyatt!" I screamed as everything sinks in. I suddenly don't know what to do.His eyes are bloodshot and void of emotions. He' just keeps on throwing punches to Fred's face. Fred's nose bleed, his lips and brows has a large cut. His face is starting to turn purple because of the bruises Wyatt's punches caused.Fred was about to punch as well but Wyatt dodged it. When Wyatt punched him he was thrown to the floor.I immediately went to Wyatt to stop him. He might kill Fred here! And the scene is catching everyone's attention. Maybe tomorrow he will be in the headlines of the news
Chapter 8.1"What are you up to now?"I looked at Catelyn who had just arrived at the apartment, of where I'm living. I'm currently cleaning the apartment now because I haven't been able to clean for a few days. When I arrived in the Philippines from France, I became busy with my new job. I’m an editor at a big company just near here.I also visited my Dad in the hospital. He's still asleep but he's getting better. Ever since I came home, Wyatt has been texting me constantly. I don't know what's with his persistent texts though. After I treated his wounds back in France, he didn't stop making his presence known. He keeps on asking me a lot of questions, and then he would get angry if I couldn't answer any of it. How can I answer him if his questions doesn't really make sense, right? It seems like he's the only one who knows what he's talking about. I'm not that smart to get what he means right away. It was like I was in the middle of a maze and didn’t know which direction to go."May
Chapter 8.2"Are you yelling at me?" My jaw almost dropped on the floor. Im sure that disbelief is painted all over my face while looking at him because of the sudden raise of his voice. "I'm not." He must have failed to control his temper because his tone is dripping with restraint anger right now. "Can you just leave?"There was a look of resistance on his face but I ignored it. He's annoying, I get that he doesn't want to me to get hurt. But does he also understand that I still have to think about my father who is still in the hospital right now? Those drugs of his that cost a few thousand each? The medicine he injected every day just to get well? Will I think more about my safety than my father's life? Shall I put that first?"Will you hear me out?" He later asked after a few minutes of silence between the two of us."Why else?""Because I said so," he said.I crossed my arms over my chest and looked at him. He also looked at me, intensely. We both have a staring contest stubbor
Chapter 9.1I almost scream when I recognized the perfume. Goodness Gracious!Wyatt Wolfenstein!"Are you crazy?!" I shouted when I lost his grip on my mouth. His arm was still wrapped around my waist and our face are too close for our own good."Who told you to walk alone huh?" He gasped as he stood in front of me. "Really, Eloise? You can take a cab." He's irritated. "My workplace is just near of where I live, is there a need to take a ride? Why would I ride if I can just walk?"Besides, I'm saving! The taxi fair would only cost me a lot of money. I'd rather walk! Not can I only save some money but I can also exercise too!"You'll be damned there for what you're doing.""Wait! Let go of me first." I let go of his embrace and distanced myself. The distance between the two of us is staggering. I straightened my rumpled clothes and looked at him.He is the only one who follows me. I really that someone's following me but it turns out that it was only him. I was really nervous!"Did yo
Chapter 9.2I fixed him lying on the sofa, but because of his height he couldn't fit in my small sofa. After I properly laid him down, I went to my room to get a blanket. After I got a blanket and a pillow, when I returned to the living room I found him curled up on the sofa. When I approached him, his sweat was already dripping. It wasn't hot but he was sweating profusely.I bit my lower lip and thought about what to do to keep him from getting hot."Erase! Erase!" I said to myself. "Why would you think? He insisted to sleep there! He chose that!" I'm still talking to myself.I just frowned at him and immediately went back to my room to sleep.No matter how much I tossed and turn on my bed, I still can't sleep. I texted Nurse Tessa instead, she's still on shift right now so I'm sure she's still in the hospital.To Nurse Tessa: Hello, Good evening. How is Dad? I was glad that she's really on shift right now when she replied. Maybe she's not busy. From Nurse Tessa:He's fine. Ther
Chapter 10.1I can still feel my face blushing because of what happened earlier. If you see a man undressing in front of you, let's see if your face wouldn't look like a tomato."Come on Eloise! Forget about it!" I gently slap my face. I've been doing this for a while but it still doesn't work. I sighed and looked at the papers I still needed to edit. Determined to finish my work immediately and forget what happened earlier, I started to work. I was typing on the computer when suddenly my cellphone vibrated just above my desk. I stopped typing and look at it to see who texted me.Unknown number:Let's eat lunch together.I frowned and wondered who texted me. I replied 'who are you?' after that I put the cellphone on the table to continue working. Even though I hadn't typed half of what I was supposed to edit, my cellphone vibrated again.Unknown number:It's me :)Stupid. How do I know who he is?Eloise: Whatever your trip in life is, don't mess with me, okay? Thanks.After that I
Chapter 10.2What's the problem again? I asked myself as I walked back to my cubicle.I was greeted by my co-workers' questioning look and malicious stares. It's like I'm guilty of the way they think of me. They're watching my every move. I quickly walked to my cubicle to avoid them all. Even though I was no longer comfortable around, I continued with the work I had left earlier. Fortunately, my work went well and I didn't get to have an additional paperwork. I was getting my things ready to leave, when my other co-workers arrived. I knew what they want from me and that was the information about the scene this morning. "If you want to know what 'tea' really is from what happened earlier, I can't answer you." I have preceded them because that is what they will ask me. It will not be difficult for them to make more effort for that. "We just want to know if you're having an affair with him." My ears perked up because of what I heard. Did I ever say that they're kind? If I said that,
Prologue "Hi Loise!" Carla greeted me. I smiled at her and greeted her too. Of all the employees here, she's the only one who's nice to me. The other women here can only see me with very high eyebrows. I didn't do something wrong, but I guess no matter how good you are people will always have something to say about you. I just continued my walk to my cubicle. I need money more, than asking them about their problem about me. I don't have an energy to have a confrontation with them, If they're mad at me so be it. As long as I knew myself I didn't do something wrong to them. I was so oblivious of my work that I didn't know It was already morning, my shift was only until 6am. After fixing my things I already left the building. I walked 5 minutes to get on the jeep. I remember the first time I commuted, I don’t know how. I don't even know what happened. I almost got lost because the jeep I rode was wrong but thankfully

Chapter 7.1There a lot of people at the party. Obviously most of the people here are from the high society and businessmen. Everyone was having fun opposite to Wyatt and I, who's here in the dark corner and just silently looking at them all.A lot of the businessmen tried to approach and talk to Wyatt but he only answers them shortly, reason why they also leave immediately. He looks so bored watching the party while leaning on the chair and crossed his arms on his chest. To me, it looks like this party doesn't pique his interest and he doesn't care what's happening around him."Eloise?!"The manly voice pulled me from my own thoughts. I narrowed my eyes to see clearly who just called me, I almost dropped my jaw when I recognized him."Nathan! Hi!"I didn't know that I'll meet him here, no offense but I didn't imagine him being in a place like this. And besides, we just met. And I didn't know that he'll recognize me, it's dark so here in the corner. and I really thought my make up did
Chapter 6.2"Woah ..." the whole room was filled with their gasps. I opened my eyes and blinked several times as I adjust to the lights."Gosh ..." I couldn't recognize myself.I looked so beautiful. Gosh! Really. I looked nice.I couldn’t believe it as I looked at myself in the mirror. I even really looked at all angles to make sure and I have nothing to say.I have a full make up on but it doesn't look too thick, and the make up suits me. I can hardly recognize myself anymore, that's more I like it. It's good that no one can recognize my face to avoid trouble in the future.My hair is in a messy bun, is loosely braided on both sides to the back where my hair is buried. I also let a few strands of hair near both of my ears to lose.After I looked at my face in closely, they helped me put with the gown. I was still hesitant if I would wear it but they forced me to.I was hesitant at first but at the same time, I also liked the gown. I don't think it's okay to wear this kind of gown. T
