Silence enveloped the entire car.

I turned my head to look out the window so that Manager Sol could not see my non-stop flowing tears streaming down on my face as I suppressed my voice from making any sound. I know that he already knows that I am crying now, but I still don't want him to see my tears.

Even though we've been in the car for almost thirty minutes, the weight I am feeling in my chest still hasn't lessened and continues to linger. It is still as heavy as the moment Jaxson let those words slip out of his mouth and say it right in front of my face with no hesitation.

I don't regret that I fell in love with him. I really don’t, and I don’t want to.

I have no regrets for those moments when I am completely into him and ready to give the whole me, realizing how much I love him.

But what I regret is that I believe Jaxson that he sees me as Cattleya. That he loves me the way I am even though it never came from his mouth. I thought he is different from his step-mother, but he sees

    I stared blankly at the ceiling as I pulled the blanket up to my chest. A while ago I heard my phone ringing repeatedly but I didn't feel like answering it.I don't want to talk to him, I'm still hurt by the words he said to me.I almost rolled over in bed but still couldn't fall asleep. Every time I close my eyes, the only thing I remember are those words that keep echoing in my brain."I am Jaxson Madrigal, everybody knows me as the heir of Ruegold and you are just an ordinary girl."He is such a jerk for saying that.I felt the heat in my eyes again and the heat rising in my cheeks as I remembered those words more."I am Jaxson Madrigal, everybody knows me as the heir of Ruegold and you are just an ordinary girl."I thought he loved me...My phone rang again and this time I decided to pick up my phone that I threw on the bed earlier to check the phone screen.[Jaxson, Calling….]I didn't answer his call and instead just stared at his name on the screen."Jaxson..." I mumbled. “Jaxs

    When Loren finally left, I was stricken dumb for a moment before I started to turn around and walk towards where Jaxson and Finn is waiting.I did not utter a word and silently approached them and they intentionally quit their conversation when I was finally able to draw near them so I did not have a chance to hear what they were talking about. They look very serious and I am wondering what it is.Jaxson's gaze just hovered over me before handing me the bouquet again without saying anything.My lips parted as I was about to talk to him, but I was astounded when he turned his back to me and walked away straight into his car. My lips slowly shut down again, baffled at what just happened. Is Jaxson mad at me?But, shouldn't I be the one who resents him?When he banged the door closed really loud without even saying anything, I just veered around my eyes to Finn with my mouth hanging open. “Couples really have some quarrel before the wedding so make sure to still show up at your wedding

    “All of my documents and activities that I have to submit are already in this envelope Loren. I won't be able to go to university in the next few days, so you have to pass that on to the professor for me. ” I calmly spoke to him and then handed him the envelope I was holding. "I hope to see you tomorrow at the wedding."He smiled sparingly at me before accepting what I handed him.“I will be there. I don’t know where this is going but I am guessing that you need absolute protection. So, if you can send me your address after getting married with that Madrigal, I will make sure to visit you from time to time like how I always do. ” He gave me a smile again before shifting his gaze to Jaxson and Finn who were standing and talking not far away. “Just make sure that there is no asungot when I go to where you live. Tomorrow I know he will be there so I might bring earbuds. ”I laughed softly because of Loren's expression while looking at Finn.“He’s a great guy. How many times do I have to

    "Elsie, is Jax already in his room?" When Matienzo avoided the conversation and turned his attention to Elsie who was in charge of the helpers. It entered the room to bring hot tea.“Not yet, Mr. Madrigal. Jax is waiting outside and he is sitting on the stairs. Shall I take him up to his room? ” Its polite answer as one by one lands the hot cup of tea on the table.“No need. I’ll be outside in a few minutes and send him to his room. ”Elsie just nodded before they left the room.“If you have a child with another woman, how did you manage to keep it to your wife, Ruella? Wasn't it treason you did to him? How can you keep everything of this to yourself without even telling him until his end? ”Matienzo Madrigal turned to him like an idiot and didn't seem to know what to do.“Your company is now slowly drowning Matienzo. When this news broke I was afraid of the eventual downfall of the Madrigals. People can think of this as a crime and the CEO of the company cheating on his wife and brin

    [Cattleya]“Isn’t Lance also a victim of the situation ..?”“I also thought of that too. But Lance was only a victim of the situation when they were younger. Not until he grew up with her mother by his side and became evil. ” Finnley uttered before he checked his phone. “There’s more to it that I am left to tell. But, I don’t think I can today. ”My eyebrows furrowed because of what he said. I looked outside to see if it was dark outside and we were very engulfed in our story but not really and still bright outside."Why? The wedding coordinator hasn't called me yet. I still have time. What else are you going to tell me? ” I asked as I sipped my drink that I hadn’t yet consumed.“We can talk about it next time. But for now, to save my precious life, I have to take you back to him. ” He said as he rose to his seat.“Why are you in such a hurry. Maybe Jaxson isn't there yet and he's still doing some work. I'll just be left there when I— ”I couldn't continue what I was about to say when

    We have been here for almost a few minutes but none of us intend to speak. We could only hear the gusts of wind as we both watched the sunset.“Are you calmer now? Should we go down already? ”My gaze returned to Gunther who was also staring at my face. I nodded at him as a smile flashed on my lips.I looked down for a moment when I noticed that he was handing something to me. When I saw what it was a handkerchief shovel he was giving.“Wipe your face. I don’t know if you want him to see you hurt and cry, but I don’t think that showing your damp face to the wedding coordinator would be nice right before your wedding, am I wrong? ” Gunther said softly.Honestly even though he sometimes shows me a warm personality it is the very first time I have heard such a tone of his speech. He really sounded concern to me and the gleam on his eyes which was also hit by a bit of orange light due to the sunset, it gives me a warm feeling.I did not answer him and then immediately accepted the handker

    Whenever I am fortunate to do nothing and have free time, I always make sure to treat myself with some romantic movies. And based on how it usually happens in the movies, wedding gown fitting is always the most exciting part of the story. I feel like my heart is jumping in ecstatic whenever the main characters do that, because I know that when such a scene happens, the story is approaching the ending part which is I always expected as a happy ending in a wedding.But, as some say, movies stay in movies. Not all the romantic movies we watch actually happen in real life. Well, maybe for other people yes there is a possibility that they actually are lucky to find the right person to share that special moment with, unfortunately, I will never experience that kind of feeling.I'm sure that when I get out there, Jaxson will just tell me that it's up to me to shop for what I want to wear because I'll be the one wearing it. It's not like in shows and fiction books that the groom really cares

    My eyes were left in the air, still processing the words she just let out. I saw both of them rising from their seat but my body couldn't seem to function properly because her words were too much to digest inside my mind and my reflexes.My first project as a Miranda model would be with Daniella? Jaxson's ex fiance. Of all the models in their agency, does it really have to be her?I mean, I should care less because I already know that she's one of their biggest models. But that is what's bothering me more and making the situation ever more bizarre. I am nothing compared to her in this industry. She's already up there and I'm just a beginner."For such a big project like this, shouldn't you be getting a model that is more experienced and obviously more popular than me? I am still new and I still have so much more to learn for me to work with higher models. " I stated as I rose in my seat, trying to follow Mrs. Cooper's pace. "If you want someone to work with your top model, you should

    "You might think that I'm a creep, but I love how you look like whenever I kiss you." Liam stated straight.I felt my cheeks burning like hell because of what he said. My blood rose to my cheek and I felt it was on fire."You look like a baby, every time.""Oh, shut up." I tried to avert my gaze from him.He extended his hands at me and just simply grabbed my hand. I'm slowly getting used to always holding Liam's hand.

    “How can you be so sure? What if they won’t give you a call? What if… Uh… There would be an emergency and they can’t contact you?” I insisted on the question once again. Jaxson can’t stay here all day, because if that happens, then I have to stay all day in this bed too. He will eventually find out that I can’t walk. “— Also, you won’t stay here with me all day even if you don’t go to your office. I have a call from Miranda agency that we have costume fitting today.” It’s not entirely a lie because the agency called me early in the morning that I have to be there with Daniella.I am planning to go regardless of what she can do to me. And what I am thinking of, is to sneak out this house with the help of Richard. Besides, he won’t suspect that Daniella did it to me because it seems to be an accident when I fall off my shoes. It’s only me and her who knows exactly who did it to injure me. I can’t help but to worry about Lance’s and Daniella’s plan for Jaxson and I. They are harming

    I struggled to get my body moving and hit the button on the bedside table."Good evening, Aunt Elsie? Are you there?" I politely called the other line and then waited for him to respond.It's excellent that Jaxson has been using advanced technology throughout this bedroom. Since it is so distant from our room, I wouldn't have been able to call Aunt Elsie if I wasn't strong enough to go down to the kitchen."Hello, Mrs. Madrigal. My mother isn't here, do you need anything?""Angel?" I asked with my brows colliding. "Why isn't Aunt Elsie there? Did she go somewhere?" I became worried because this is the first time that she is not the one who answered my call."Well, technically she's not here. But she's also not outside the house. I think she's taking care of Mr. Madrigal that just came home, ma'am. Would you like me to call her?" He calmly answered with his soft and airy voice."No, no, it's okay..."If you need anything Mrs. Madrigal, I can bring it to you right away."I nodded quietl

    "You're giving me tickles, stop." he chuckles as he continuously leaned away from me.I giggled as I continued to tease him. "You're such a ticklish baby.""I am not." he tried to straighten his face and stop laughing but he couldn't stop it.When I got tired, I leaned on his chest again and then fiddled with the button of his polo shirt."When are we going back to New Jersey?" I asked.It's like... I don't want to go back and face his life. I just want to stay here next to Liam and hug him all night, make him laugh, and talk to him."We're not going back unless you ask me to." he uttered.I moved a little away from his chest to look him in the eyes. "Really?"His hand came up to the top of my head and ruffled my hair. "Really."I took a breath. "If it's possible, I'll claim you and never give you back."He laughed softly and then turned his attention back to the laptop in front of him when he received an email.I brought my lips to his ear again, but this time, to whisper."Liam is g

    "I missed the breeze here..." Maddison muttered as Blade pushed his wheel chair towards the shore of the sea. "I avoid even thinking about this place because of painful memories." he smiled bitterly.When they got there, Blade stopped pushing and then he sat next to its wheel."Me, I'm always here to calm my mind. It's often on top of the rocks so I can see the entirety of the surroundings. I still remember that we always hang out there." he smiled as he reminisced their past.Maddison also seemed to smile as she looked up at the place where Blade was looking."I know... you told me before, I'm the only woman you'll bring there. Did you keep that promise?”Maddison turned to Blade who looked away and then pretended to be playing with the sand.Maddison let out a small laugh. "Don't tell me...""I brought Crystal there once." Blade uttered but he still couldn't look straight.Maddison only laughed harder that made Blade turn to him. "What's so funny? Aren't you angry?”His eyes rounded

    I could hardly believe the words coming out of his mouth.How is it that the Vince that I just recently met who works for Steven's company, is the one they say is the youngest heir of the Celestials who was our batch when we were still studying at Harrison High?"B-But wait... If you're the Celestial I'm thinking of, does that mean you also went to university at the same time Steven and I?" I asked in surprise.As far as I remember, there was always talk about who the heir was. The only heir I knew at our school was Steven.“Yes, I attended Harrison High with you. Like I said, if you only knew how to look back, you would have recognized me. You couldn't even notice me or turn a blind eye because your eyes were too direct on that man."I bowed down because of what he said. Come to think of it, I only have one friend and that's Mavi. I was careful to get to know someone else because I was afraid that Steven would get jealous. Even with Mavi, I can't always give him time because Steven d

    “Babe...”A soft voice woke me up from sleeping soundly. Even if I don't open my eyes, I knew well that this is Jaxson.I giggled when I felt his soft lips on my forehead, trying to wake me up. He never missed any morning to give me a sweet kiss as a morning gift. We really are a couple and I still couldn't believe.I scrunched my nose as I felt the pain on my foot as I slowly lift my body with the help of Jaxson supporting the back of my head.“Breakfast in bed.” My eyes slowly opened up as I was shock by the food in front of me. I couldn't help but be touched at what he did.“You are so sweet...” I muttered as I returned a gentle kiss on his forehead. “This is the very first time I'll experience something like this.” I honestly let out, feeling my eyes forming into doe because of the joy that the food brought me.This just came at the exact moment. I mean, I was planning last night to skip breakfast and pretend that I am not hungry just to wait for Jaxson to leave the house so I ca

She left— and where did she go?” As this was the first time someone other than she had taken my call, I started to get concerned. “Yes technically, she is not here. She isn't, however, in the yard either, ma’am. I believe she is taking after Mr. Madrigal who has just arrived home. Do you want me to call her for you?” In a serene tone, she responded, with her voice light and airy.“No, no, it's okay…”“If you need anything, Mrs
