At that precise moment, I had the sensation of being a victim in the presence of a predator. In spite of the fact that Bullet was staring at me with a look of shock on his face, he ultimately grinned at me slowly after as if we were in a favorable circumstance. At that same time, I pondered whether I need to simply flee like a refugee or whether I ought to simply become a soldier who is prepared for battle.

"Sir, she is absolutely smitten with our pork adobo!" As she continued, Sonya acted as if she were presenting the most exciting news of the day. At that same moment, I found myself being aggravated by her. While I am taking pleasure in my meal, why is it that she can't just leave me here in peace and quiet? As an additional point of interest, why does she feel the need to point her fingers at me when she is actually communicating with Bullet?

“It's good.” Even though he was still looking at me with a smirk on his face, Bullet continued to speak. “Following that, I will place an ord

    As I sat down, I caught a glimpse of a smirk plastered across Bullet's face, who had chosen to take a seat at the table next to us. It is because his location is directly in front of me that he is able to see my face in its entirety. Damn this guy, he really has his own ways to irritated the shit out of me “Have you made an attempt at our beef tapa?” Sonya inquired, and that is the reason why I decided to completely disregard Bullet and not give it a second thought.With a smile on my face, I looked at Sonya. "No, I have not attempted it yet. Can you please tell me what it is?”"Oh! When it comes to breakfast, things like that are our area of expertise! In order to preserve beef tapa, thin slices of meat are cured with salt and spices. Beef tapa is often prepared every morning here in our restaurant. The appearance is similar to that of corned beef in some way. It is most delicious when served with garlic rice and an egg cooked sunny side up!” Sonya responded with a tone of eagerness

    I shrugged as I slumped onto the couch. What a tiring day! It wasn't my work that exhausted me. Actually, managing the company doesn't tire me out because Jill and Shane are always there to support me. We're business partners anyway. What tires me out is being stuck in the heavy traffic on the highway road going home to my condo. It only takes me almost an hour in that traffic before I can finally get home to my unit to rest.I closed my eyes, letting myself feel the softness of my couch. I just wanted to get rid of all the fatigue that was overwhelming my system. I sighed heavily. At least I had eaten at my favourite Filipino restaurant that I always go to before going home. So I could rest until I fell asleep soundly. Not until I heard the sound of my phone notification. I took a deep breath and reached for my bag that I had just placed next to the couch. I took my phone from there and checked who messaged me. A smile suddenly spread across my lips when I saw Gunner's message.‘Hi,

    There is a particular moment in my life when I vividly remember grasping onto and contemplating the profound concept known as "The Burnt Toast Theory". The theory of burnt toast is a self-help concept that proposes that small setbacks and challenges can ultimately result in favorable and beneficial outcomes. The concept is rooted in the belief that the simple act of accidentally burning your toast in the early hours of the day could potentially result in a delay, which in turn might prevent you from encountering a hazardous situation or even steer you towards a more favorable and advantageous result.Earlier this morning, I woke up considerably later than intended due to an extended phone conversation with Gunner, although I must clarify that I do not attribute full responsibility to him for this delay. I really wanted to have a conversation with him. I truly enjoyed spending my evening with him, and I have absolutely no regrets about anything that happened last night. It just so happ

    It was a single moment in my life that I will never forget. Every tick of the clock makes it impossible for me to hold on. Like an hourglass, each pour of the sands at the bottom seems like a dagger killing me softly. I do not know what to do. I have no idea what to say. I never imagined myself to be in this situation ever again. I started messing my hair in combined frustration and sadness. It is a total torture for me.I'm simply here, staring at my phone as Shane continues to contact me. In my mind, she appears to be glaring at me with rage in her eyes. Her brows raised to give me a more frightening appearance. It appears to be extremely lethal; if looks can really kill, I am most likely dead right now, and any attempts to save me and transport me to the hospital would be futile because I would most likely be declared dead upon arrival.I swallowed hard, nearly choked on my own spit.My palm started to sweat but it was cold. On the other hand, my face is starting to numb as well. I

    "Hey…" Bullet said after a long period of silence between the two of us. He is still staring at me with concern in his eyes. He is raking his glance from my eyes to my lips, as if he is attempting to study and draw conclusions about what is going on right now."Are you okay?" He spoke once more. I noticed how his Adam's apple moved up and down.The rain is still falling at that point. But he was here, doing his utmost to protect me. Even though his shoulders are drenched, he refuses to release the grasp of the umbrella above my head. He is currently portraying the part of a knight in shining armor.I looked away from him.Why does he always have to appear in my most sensitive situation? Why does he always arrive when I need someone the most? Our first encounter was precisely the same as this. I needed someone, and he arrived to save the day. Right now, I needed a shoulder to weep on, and he's here, playing that part again. I detest it. I dislike his timing. I detest fate for allowing

    The moment I hopped inside my car, the first thing I did was to hold the rosary that was hanging in the front rear view mirror. I closed my eyes and as always, I started uttering my soft prayer. This has been my ritual everytime I hopped inside my car. I always make sure that I ask for guidance from the powerful God in heavens for my safety. This kind of characteristic was taught by the King to me. I can remember when I was a child, he would always stay inside my bedroom every night just to hear my prayers. And it is not just a simple and shallow prayer, it should be genuine and true. As if I am talking with the Lord right in front of me. At first, it was really hard for me as a child. I can’t get my emotions to be connected with a prayer. It feels like I am acting a specific role. It was actually so stressful for me. The pressure gets the worst in me whenever the King scolds me after my prayers. But everything changed when the King told me about my mother. When he told me about thei

    It was that one moment of my life where I started to believe that the Burnt Toast Theory is never a lie. That one moment in my life where I wished, I could have paved for another path rather than this tragedy that I experienced. I should've just stayed at the gas station. I should have just gone somewhere else. I should have just stayed in the office and stayed with Jill more. Moreover, I should have just grabbed Jill’s suggestion because in that way, all this tragedy will be diverted into something not like this. If I went on that path, I would probably be at that condo unit with Jill and we would probably enjoy each other’s company while enjoying the view of Miami. But what is happening right now is way different from that fantasy of mine. Right now, chaos is in front of my eyes. The explosion from the vehicle which avoided my car and fell to the underpass was so loud that it hurt my ears. I was with wobbly feet as I walked towards the underpass. Many people are now gathering ther

    “Be careful, it’s heavy,” I reminded Jack, Cassie’s boyfriend, as I lifted the box containing some of my belongings.“It’s okay, it’s light for me,” he said, while arranging it on the cart near the main door.I awkwardly smiled and went to the room where Jill was busy putting my things in a box. When she saw me, she immediately frowned while showing me some of my belongings. “You have so many things,” she complained. “What if, you throw away the ones that aren’t really important?”I was about to argue when she suddenly threw my plushies in the garbage that was also waiting there. But in the end, I couldn’t do anything. I sat beside her. “You know it’s embarrassing that you even asked your boyfriend to help me with my stuff, when in fact, he’s going to be my landlord,” I said.“You don’t have to be embarrassed,” she said. “Jack is just really kind. Besides, I’m your friend, so it’s better that we help you.”I stood up and immediately started to tidy up as well. I took my clothes from t

    Right at that very moment, I can picture Bullet with wings and halo above his head. I was never glad to see him ever before after this. All of the thorns on my chest went away in an instant the moment my eyes landed on his face. It’s like seeing hope in a person. I was with teary eyes as I continued staring at him. And before I could even stop myself, I ran away towards him. And then I hugged him so tight as if it was the first time that I ever saw him. “Oh, you missed me so much, huh?” Bullet laughed while hugging me tight. His body was warm. I hit him on his chest as tears continued to just fall down my cheeks. “I thought there was a ganger against me. I also thought that it was going to be my end once more, like a final end. A dead end where I have no choice but accept and face my death. But instead of death, the man who brought me heaven earlier this morning was what I saw. He caressed my hair and gently kissed me on my temple, “not on my watch, baby. Not on my watch.”“Why di

    James has this infectious smile. I can’t help but to smile back at him whenever he was smiling sweetly at me just like what is currently happening right now. He was just wearing a black shirt and white jogger shorts but he already looked so expensive right now. I think anything he wears will always make him good. Like it is not his clothes that will add to his style but it is his face. “I am okay now, Cassie,” James said with a smile on his face. “Thanks to you, I am still alive and kicking.” I nodded while smiling at him. “I am so glad to help you. And I am hoping that right after that incident you will get to love your life more and more, especially, your family will finally realize that heavy burden that they have thrown at you ever since you were a child just by their mere expectations towards you.” He nodded his head, “thankfully, my family has already acknowledged the burden that they have given me since I was child. And they also promise that they will do better, given the

    It was the most tortured hour of my life. I actually wanted to shove away all of the dirty thoughts in my mind. I wanted to act cool. I want to act as if his body has no effect on my system. But I just can’t do it! I am clearly caught in my own trance where I have nothing but my hormones and the glorious view of Bullet. “You work out a lot, huh?” I asked him as I noticed some prominent muscles on his back. It was flexing with his every move. It was hard. “Yeah, I had to in order to cope up with my stress,” Bullet answered me as I continued grazing my hand with soft directly on his skin, “you should try to go to gym as well. Business owners are more likely to need it because of stress in the workplace. So far, it is helping me big time. That is why I continued with it for about three years now.”So these muscles are the product of his three years commitment in working out at the gym? It is really no wonder why the cuts on his muscles were well toned. He can actually become a model fo

    “Why?” Bullet laughed, and he is still smiling as if he just won the most valued lottery of all time, “What can I do? I can’t help it.” I scowled at him as I shook my head, this is what I feared when I started cooking. Him, smiling like this as if this is his very last meal in his life. I don’t like to see him smile because his smile is infectious. It makes me smile too and that was the least thing that I want him to see towards me, that he has an effect on my system. “Let’s just eat!” I pouted as I initially started to dig on my food. I am glad that he also did the same and he stopped smiling. It was a long moment of silence that won between us. No one dared to speak. The both of us are only just munching our food. But not until he was the one who broke it like he always does. “How was your sleep?” He asked me as he munched his food. I am trying hard to avoid the thoughts of him judging me because he is eating burned ham because I am not just great in the kitchen. “I am okay, it

    “So, how are you? I heard from Jill that someone followed you all the way to the hallway inside the condominium. Did they catch that creep?” It was Shane. She called me while I was cooking breakfast. Yes, our breakfast. This is the first time I’m cooking for someone else. I don’t know why. Maybe I just feel sorry for what happened last night. I just want to make him breakfast as a way of thanking him for saving me from danger.I took a deep breath as I put down the fork I was holding. I can’t scramble eggs with one hand holding my phone pressed against my ear. “Yeah. The cops called earlier. After they treated him at the hospital, they immediately took him to jail,” I said, flipping the ham I was cooking.I heard Shane gasp on the other line. “That’s good to hear! Now you don’t have to worry about your safety anymore. You know what, Cassie, I think you should take a leave today,” she changed the topic.I just shook my head and leaned against the island bar. “What? Why?” I asked confus

    Swear, it all came back to me. The thing that happened today with James just came and went straight to my head. Now, I am defenseless as I tried to muster all my strength in order for me to get past this hallway. I don’t know but it is really weird. It is not dark as it always used to be. Right now, some of the lights are closed. Only the dim lights of the emergency exit can be seen here right. By chance, was there an electricity breakout on this floor? But only on this floor only? All the lights in the lobby area are working and if there really is an electricity breakout, the elevator should not be working. This is where I started to feel something bad… As I continued to walk towards the door of our condo unit, I started to hear someone walking from behind. At first, I tried to avoid thinking about negative thoughts. Instead, I continued to just walk but my feet seemed to have their own mind, I started to walk past as if someone was chasing me. But the weird part is everytime my pac

    I decided to just head straight outside of James’ hospital room to give him and his family a time to talk to each other. I really do hope that this time, everything must be fine now. That James may finally open up about his feelings towards them. And also for them to know that behind the sweetest smile of James hides the most painful battle that he keeps on fighting against for the last decades of his life. He already suffered and the incident that happened here must be enough for his family to realize that this is the result of their expectations towards him. Life is beautiful when you remove the dark past that is distorting your view to how beautiful the world is. I know soon, James will finally find his way back to loving his own life and I hope that if that time comes, I am around him because I really do want to be his friend. I feel like there is a beautiful soul within him. Like, pure and genuine. I just walked towards the bus terminal. I have no car with me because I left it

    “Sorry for interrupting you,” I laughed at James while I am still sitting on his side, “please continue with your story. I am dying to know the truth on why you did what you did.” “Alright,” he smiled at me, still boyish and still weak. But his looks never ruined how weak he is right now. He still looks dashing and ravishing. “So, to continue the story. I became a boy toy and it took a toll on me when I graduated and started my own career as a lawyer. This is where I met my girlfriend… I mean, ex-girlfriend,” there was a sad manner by how that word escaped from his mouth. From the expression that I saw from his face, it seemed like it tasted sour and bitter to him. I continued to just listen. I prevented myself from asking follow up questions because it would ruin his momentum. I just stayed silent and listened to him the best that I could. Because listening to him made me feel so giddy to know the ending of his story. Just like a reader who always skipped the story and went straig

    When the authority was gone out of my sight, I decided to just talk with the dog. I examined if it is a he or a she and then I confirmed that she’s a she. I was actually surprised that there is also a side of me who loves dogs. I grew up without any other animal in my life. It was just me and my own fantasy of having my freedom out of the suffocating reality of the Royal Palace.Seeing the dog scoot her body closer to mine is melting my heart. She really likes me, that was for sure. “What is your name?” I asked her and she just stared at me as if I am a mad woman, I laughed hard. “Yeah, why the hell did I ask you? Maybe I was really a mad woman,” I facepalm as I chuckled.During the day, I waited for a couple of hours. I even brought the dog to a nearby veterinary to grab some food. When I made sure that she was already satisfied with what she had consumed, we went back to the hospital only to find out that the nurses were looking for me. “Are you the girlfriend of the patient?” Th
