"The ruler can always change the rules." Jaxson whispered to me as he brought his lips to my ear.I was speechless at what he said because I couldn't believe that he was thinking about that. Because that only means that he is also considering keeping me on his side. It only means one thing to me, Jaxson is starting to see my presence."So... are you now going to treat me normally again after I cleared things up?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.I couldn't stop laughing because of what he said.Is it a good thing that he's actually paying attention to me more than I thought he is?"Can I at least get an answer?" Jaxson asked again that's why I just nodded as I chuckled. "It's a good thing that we understand each other. After all, you will be living with me starting from now. And there's no way that I'm going to sleep on the sofa again.""I never told you to do that." I defend myself. "I didn't know you were sleeping on the sofa. I always wake up later than you so I really have no idea.
"An absolutely insane person. Jaxson, you are so getting on my nerves. I mean, not negatively, you know. But today was too much already, and-” He didn't let me finish and went inside the unit, passing me.The bright side is, the person who knocked on our door in the middle of the night was not a bad person, and I did not commit a heinous crime. However, the downside is that, I came here because I don't want to spend the night with Jaxson. And now he is here."So, where can I put all this?" He asked as his eyes roamed the entire space of our house."There, there is a table in front of you." I said slowly and then the door was closed again."Oh, this is the table.""Wouldn't it be better if you went back there and rested at the hotel? You know you don't belong in this place Jax. This is a simple house which you never use. See, you're just going to have a hard time-" I couldn't finish what I was going to say when I noticed that he wasn't listening to me and just started putting his thing
"So, what do you think if I model your brand too?"Both my brows raised as I waited for what Jaxson would say because his eyes just stared straight at me."That's not the reason why I told you my mother's past.""I know, but don't you think I can't do it? You don't trust me too?" I uttered as I held my laugh trying to pull a joke on him.I don't think that Jaxson caught my joke as he just stared back at me as if wanting to pull my soul out of my body."I see your potential and I trust you too much that it's making me afraid of allowing you to be out there."I was taken back by Jaxson's words. I did not expect those words to come out of his mouth. It even feels like the Jaxson I am spending the night with is not the real one."T-Then... If you trust me, why don't you just let me try? You know, you can actually say straight to me that I'm not the one you are looking for your brand and you need someone that has experience.""No." He answered me quickly without wasting any second. "You ar
My eyes were left in the air, still processing the words she just let out. Her words were too much for my intellect and reflexes to absorb, and even though I watched both of them get up from their seats, my body didn't appear to be able to work normally.My very first project as a Miranda model would be alongside Daniella? Who was Jaxson's previous fiancée? I mean, does it really have to be her out of all the models they have throughout their agency? Am I being played, or does life plainly want me to be his plaything? Good grief.I admit, I could perhaps care less because I already assume that she is one of their biggest models and this is not exactly a surprise at all. Besides, she is not actually that deleterious. However, what really concerns me is that engaging in a collaboration with her would be so bewildering and would undoubtedly generate a lot of attention. In this industry, I am nothing compared to her. To Daniella Yves' stardom, I am nothing. I don't want to dishearten mys
When I regained myself from what she did, I turned to look behind me and see if Mrs. Cooper already arrived but she hasn't yet so I decided to look around but there was no one in the room other than the two of us."You're showing me the real you right now, because obviously, no one is here to see the Daniella Yves that everyone knows." I said while trying to contain my emotions and not explode in front of her. I don't want to look weak in Daniella's eyes. "I don't care whatever it is you have to say to me but I am serious. Stay away from Ray if you don't want to get hurt and involve yourself. You are in so many dangers, Cattleya Santos.”"Excuse me?" I blurted as my brows lifted. "So what I am hearing here is that you are asking me to get away from my husband? You are delusional.”"Oh, please! Do you really think I am the one that is being delusional here? We both know that Ray doesn't really love you. Let's get real.”I chuckled sarcastically."And how can you be so sure of that? No
"Let's see what will happen to you then. I tried to warn you.”I groaned as she stepped on my left foot. I writhed in pain as her pointed heel hit my big toe.Just as I was about to shout Daniella, the door to the room opened and she spat out Mrs. Cooper."Cattleya, why haven't you put on your practice shoes yet?" It asked me.I secretly touched my toe nail and bit my lips to suppress the pain before I tried to stand up as I silently groaned. I almost fell but I was surprised that I didn't fall to the floor.I felt an arm grab me. When I recovered myself, I immediately stood up properly and faced the person who caught me."T-Thank you." I stammered. But not because I am ashamed of the person who helped me, but the pain that I am feeling in my feet. I really hope that my big toe nail won't turn black and die, because I swear— that is so unforgivable."The pleasure is mine. Where's your practice shoes?”When I recognized the man's voice, I quickly looked up at him.“Richard?”He smiled
"Are you okay?"While I was putting on the practice shoes they said, I felt Richard pull me aside."Y-Yeah..." I answered breathily as I felt the pain in my foot caused by Daniella stepping on it.When I measured the high heels that they call practice shoes, I did not expect their height.“That's a pretty high and uncomfortable shoes. Are you really okay with it?” Richard asked concerned with a tinge of worry in his voice.I chuckled in response. "I have been wearing heels like this when I was working in your club. It's not really a news for me that I am wearing high heels. I even do my job in heels for like hours.”“That's tough.” He uttered with a grimace while pinning on the shoes I am wearing.When I tried to stand up, in fairness, these shoes are more comfortable than it looks like. That's why it's scary that if the wearer takes a wrong step, it can result in spraining the ankles. I really have to take good care of myself because Daniella isn't really a safe person to work with u
The girl gently took out from a small box the photograph that was crumpled, torn and patched together with glue.A sweet smile drew on his lips as he looked at the photo of a happy lover. He ran his little finger over the young man's face in the photo."Dad, you really like mom. If only I knew you were alive, I wish I would have told him not to like mom anymore." he said weakly while talking to the one in the photo. "Dad, do you know how I knew you were alive? Because I found this picture. The day mom married uncle Rex, she tore up the picture and threw it in the trash. But, they usually burn the pictures of dead people, I saw that on the show."The girl's voice was sad as she spoke to her father, even though she knew he couldn't answer her."What did you do wrong to mom?" it asked. "Every time I ask him about you, he always cries before going to sleep. I think dad, mom really hates you. But I, I want you."He hugged the photo in his hand and then took a position on his bed to lie dow
