"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 someone helped me so I was able to go home. Desperate to survive in this world, I learned to observed my surroundings and the people around me and learned to adjust.
Fortunately, I got on board right away, I haven't filled up yet because it's too early. Seeing the corner with us I quickly went up and down. I first bought a bread at the bakery on the corner before walking home. After years of living in this kind of place, I have also become accustomed to the quiet of the whole place.
I smiled after seeing the cute little girl outside hugging her teddy bear while definitely waiting for someone. She's still wearing her pajamas and her hair is still messy, obviously she just woke up but is already outside the door. She's yawning and still sleepy. Her face lit up when she saw me walking towards her. She instantly ran towards me.
Aw my cute little happy pill.
Just seeing her face makes me happy. She makes me relax.
"Good morning baby ..." I kissed her forehead. She's hugging my knees and looking at me. Her eyes always reminds me of him. She definitely had all his facial features. Unfair how she only got my fair skin. Nevertheless I still love this beautiful gift I ever had.
"Good morning mommy ..." She was still sleepy so I picked her up and kissed her on the cheek. She leaned her fat cheek on my shoulder. She's facing my neck.
"How was your sleep? Did you miss mommy?" I asked her. I sat in the chair in the living room and hugged him. She put her little arms around my neck and embraced me tighter. I smiled of her small gestures. I brushed her hair with my fingers while gently rubbing her back.
"I dreamed about daddy ..." She said softly which stopped me. "I never mentioned him to her but I guess there's something that we can't control. I never mentioned him because I knew we're better without him. And Lauren never ask me, but I knew deep inside she also wants to meet his Dad. But I just can't, I knew what he's capable of. He'll move heaven and earth and be the evil itself.

Chapter 1.1"You know I'm not into that okay? I told you that I only go to the masquerade and no one else. You know my reasons."I sipped my coffee while staring into the city lights in front of me. A thick blanket wrapped around me as I sat in a hammock on the veranda of where I was staying. I'm talking with Catelyn on the other line of the phone, she's keep on offering me a job."But Loise, it's a great opportunity to know more possible clients in the future and besides you needed the money right? What you can get here is more than you need. The event is exclusive, and there is no media so I assure you it's safe. "I sighed and toyed with the rim of the cup I was holding. Yes, I badly needed the money right now but I'm also thinking of the publicity of the said event, maybe the situation I'm in now will only get worse. I don't want to add to the problem now, maybe it's just more compl

Chapter 1.2 I didn't even look at my dress and bit my lip so hard. Men like him prefer those who have almost nothing to cover their woman. It was as if the clothing factories had run out of fabric so their clothe could hardly be called clothes anymore. "Let's go." I looked up at him when I heard his low and deep voice. I shivered and immediately looked down when he took my hand without holding a purse and sang it on his elegant arm that even if it was covered by his expensive sout now he is undeniably a gym customer. As Catelyn said earlier, no media greeted us at the hotel entrance, only the guards were there to pick up the invitation card given by my male companion. Even though I've done this a few times I still can't help but be nervous, I'm afraid someone will recognize me here. I tightened my grip on the man's arm as we entered the event hall. The ch

Chapter 2.1How did his look make me feel different? It felt like there was a race in my chest because of the force of the explosion I was feeling. He was the only one who made me feel this way and I didn't like it. It feels good but scary. The idea that I could drown in it and if I wasn't lucky I wouldn't be able to get out was frightening.Even if his face is against the light of the bright fireworks in the sky, I could still see him clearly like in the broad daylight. His picture perfect features that will make every woman drool over him. He no longer needs to approach women because the women themselves will approach him, they will definitely throw themselves at him."I don't know if you're staring at me or at that f*cking fireworks."I blinked and stared into

Chapter 2.2I was not on my own just watching him as he stood and when he came out of the room. My brain was still processing what he said."W-what?"He just turned to me and looked at the corner of the room. When I looked back at it, all the things I had brought were already there."W-wait, huh? Why are my things here? And how did you get my things?"He shrugged his shoulders and boredom was written all over his face. He really doesn't have anything to talk about."I have my ways." That's all he said and left the room.After he left, I immediately took a shower and got dressed, maybe he will pay me for this hotel.I was arranging my things when suddenly my cellphone on the bed vibrated. I opened it and what I saw slapped me the cruel reality of the world.Mr. Valdez sent me his payment on my bank account.I took a deep breath and calmed myself. I don't want to cry, I'm done there. I must be used to it, but every time I see the digits of the money being entered into my bank account, I

Even if you want to avoid it, there is nothing you can do.What is this man's up to? Catelyn said that he's handsome and every woman would even bend their knees just to get his attention. So why me? Besides, the man seems to have a girlfriend. I don't want to ruin the relationship!

Never.I said I didn't want to see him but I just found myself packing my things for tomorrow's flight. I haven't even been able to find a job yet but here I am now, leaving again.Why did he think of including me there? He can bring his girlfriend! If it was really him, I knew that his girlfriend would definitely love to go with him. I was planning to get a new job and stop what I'm doing this past few months. If Daddy will wake up

Chapter 3.2I also immediately resented my own feeling because that wasn’t right and I didn’t have the courage to name this feeling. I shouldn't feel this, it's obviously a suicide! I have no plans to crush my whole being.He smiled at me, "I'm just making sure that you'll go with me. It's a waste of my money if I don't?"I was stunned because of what he said. He thinks of me as a paid woman who goes out with any man.It's true Eloise! Why are you hurting now?"Can't talk? You've been with a lot of filthy old rich businessmen right? They paid you for that kind of job, so what's the difference when you'll go with me?"You're handsome and they're not.I wanted to say that but I didn't. There's no way I'll te him that! "I pay triple than the price they paid you."After I heard those words, my cellphone rang and a notification popped up. When I looked at the screen, I saw that it's a notification from the bank I was using for this job. I was depressed when I saw that he actually paid tri

Chapter 4.1I was stunned as I looked at the big house — no, it looks like a freaking palace. The palace in front of me now is too big. Disneyland would be embarrass by its sheer size and beauty."Is this yours?""No.""Then, who owns this?""Mine."I frowned with his answer. I don't know if it's a joke, or he's actually serious. Because if this is how he joke, it's not funny at all. "Mine, mine. It could still be still, hey," I whispered when he started to make his way already.I thought he heard me, when he turned around and frowned at me. I shook my head at him but he just stubbornly turned away.I just followed him as he started to walk up the stairs in front of the front door. The two of us were immediately greeted by, obviously, his maids. We went straight here, after we got back from the airport. I thought we were going to a hotel, but I didn't know that he had a house here.His maids, who I think some are Filipinas, took our belongings and carried them inside. If the exterior

Chapter 4.2Even before I stepped on the stairs I stopped when I heard what she said."Yeah, pretending that she's kind," she paused. "... I won't tell you this if it's not true. Why! I really don't like his women! When he brought a woman here a year ago, that girl was such a bad one! She had a nice face but it isn't like that, she's just nice to Wyatt. But hija— yes! All right, bye. "My heart ached because of what she said. Even though she didn't know me, she had already judged me. I also didn't want to be in this situation. I just don’t really see any other choice. Isn't that really the case? They will judge you based on what they see, not even thinking of finding out the truth. The more they believe in what they think is true, the more their minds are closed to other angles of the story.I sluggishly entered the room where I was staying. The lights were turned off and only the lampshade was on, so I immediately went to bed to lie down. I was just lying on the bed and looking at th

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,

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 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 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 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 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 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.

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
