"Could you make me a coffee?" Rain was making a summary of a certain file in her desk when her boss called her through the intercom and asked her to make him a coffee.

"Sure, sir. Will be there in a few minutes." she pleasantly answered. She left everything unattended and prioritized his coffee. She went to the pantry and started making one while waiting for the coffee maker to finish its job a person she doesn't suddenly show up and purposely bumped her back.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you." the girl said. Anyone could tell that she's just making up actions to cause trouble with her.

Rain, on the other hand, doesn't really mind and shrugged her apology off. She doesn't want to make a scene in here, especially since this isn't a place for such a thing as trouble.

She's not a trouble maker, and will never bend her pride to someone else's toxicity.

    Rain found herself having fun with others. It's like she was given the chance to meet them and mingle with them in a way that is very natural and overwhelming at the same time. She find them great as they have those characteristics she can relate to get along with. Except for one, Antonette. Speaking of which, she was curious about Antonette if she's really like that since day one or maybe only because of her, that's why she's like that? And if it's really because of her, what is there to be jealous about? "By any chance, have you ever been able to interact with her?" Shiela, a workmate she just met tonight, asked her. Rain is currently eating her dessert when Shiela whispered in her ear with that question. At first, she had no idea who Shiela was referring to. Not until Shiela motioned her lips towards a direction, which she followed and found Antonette's direction, who is now having a conversation with the boss at the other end of the long table. The table is filled with

    It's nearly eleven in the evening, and it's already late, yet they are not yet home, which Rain should have been. But here they are, gazing at each other as if they got intertwined at the same interspace where no one else but them. Antonette pursed her lips in irritation when she saw the scene between Uriel and Rain. Her brows furrowed, and her forehead wrinkled furiously. She couldn't contain the shame and embarrassment she got from all the hard work she invested. She can't accept this! Due to her unwavering emotion and greediness, she grabbed Rain by the shoulder and pushed her away from Uriel. "Bitch, get off him!" she yelled from the bottom of throat, which cause an attention to everyone. Gossips began to rise. Rain gasped as she fell her butt to the floor. Pain assaulted her body as she seemed to sprain her right elbow. Uriel swayed and fell in the opposite direction. Aiden arrived at that scene and gave immediate help to Rain, who is now silently aching in pain. She c

    "Aiden, is your brother usually like that?" Rain asked Aiden the moment she had already settled on the bedroom she's going to occupy for the night. As promised, Aiden helped her throughout the way up and get settled. Aiden laughed meticulously somehow, and Rain's question amuses him. It was unexpected, and even the question itself is surreal. Or maybe he was used to his brother weirdness already that he didn't expect such a question to be asked. "Apparently, no. He's not like this, Rain." he said first as he handed Rain a glass of water. "You must be feeling thirsty. Here, drink this." Rain accepted the water from him and wasn't hesitant to drink it. He was right. She's undeniably thirsty. She might have forgotten it, that's why she's not feeling it. "My brother doesn't really give shit to anybody he sees unrelated or even related to him. Especially to those people who he sees useless and can't gain something from them? He basically maintained himself out of anybody's busines

    "Mama, why are you here? Are you not gonna leave for work?" While Rain was busy working in front of her computer, her son Alas suddenly came into her room and asked with a knot in the forehead. Probably, curious why she was at home. Rain paused from what she was doing and moved to face her son. She smiled as she held him in his right arm while leveling herself to her son's height. "Mommy is not going to work onsite and was allowed by her boss to work from home because she got injury that needs rest. That's why Mommy is here today with you." She then pinched her son's nose in conclusion. Alas, on the other hand, giggled. "Wow, that's so nice of your boss, Mama! May I know his name so I could thank him one day?" Alas was so innocent and cheerful, which relieves her tiredness from the work she's doing. She couldn't help herself not to hug her son and shower him kisses carefully. "His name is Uriel, baby. But sadly you can not meet him now." She said as she caressed her son's hair. A

I just want to surprise him and before that happens, I have to prepare the necessary things for it to be accomplished. I went to the beach where we first met. Today is a special day and I want him to remember the place we first encounter and fell in love. I want it to be memorable and make it a day that's above normal. "Is this all, ma'am?" The crew asked. They are actually three who's helping me set up the dining table I desired to have for me and my boyfriend's date. "Yes, it's pretty. Thank you!" I can't help but giggle upon looking the beautiful dining. I texted my boyfriend when the clock hits six in the evening. I waited for him for an hour already, but I haven't receive any replies from him. I wonder what he's up to and why he's not replying?I don't know but I suddenly feel nervous. This is so uncommon, since I haven't feel any doubts in regards to our relationship. I just hope, it

    THREE years has passed and it happened like yesterday. I can still remember all the chaos I've been through. I got married, but never did I able to meet this person in three years of my marriage. But I think it was better because it would bring so much trouble if we met... while I was pregnant by a stranger's babies. After all, who would like to see his wife being pregnant by someone else's baby? No one would. Yes. That night bore fruits. After a month of being accepted by my family again, I discovered that I was pregnant. When my family knew about it, they instantly kicked me out of the household without even thinking about it. And true to my mother's words, they totally disowned me, for I was blamed for bringing so much shame and misfortune in our family's name, and I admit it all. I myself, was shocked. I didn't expect to be pregnant, because I only thought of it as a part of adult experience I should experience. "I trusted you and let your shameless doing of a one night stand

    "Miss Rain Ashley Esquivel?" A tall girl went out of covered glass office. I stood up quickly and raised my hand to be discovered. "It's me, ma'am." "Come with me. Mr. Ledesma is waiting for you." I obediently followed her. She opened the door, but did not enter. I was about to ask, when she spoke first. "I wish you luck on your interview with the CEO, Miss Rain." She smiled and even tapped me on my shoulder. I nodded and spare my question since the answer is too obvious, "Thank you." I smiled back and took a deep breath before stepping in. "Good Afternoon, Sir." I greeted politely as I managed myself to keep calm and relax to prevent from being so obvious that I'm nervous. His back is facing my direction, so I can't still visualize how he looks like. But upon basing his physique, he's lean, broady, tall and masculine. He's wearing a navy blue office wear and he seemed to have a new clean hair cut. I think, this CEO is handsome."Good Afternoon. Have a seat." His voice is so m

    I carefully sat on the seat opposite to the CEO. I don't know how to interact, since I'm also insecure with my actions. I'm worried that he might dislike me because of that. "How old are you now, Miss Esquivel?" He suddenly asked. I'm not touching anything on the table yet. "I'm 27 years old, sir." I answered politely. "You're young. How old were you when you got married?" He's eating and seemingly unbothered while asking. "I was 23 incoming 24 when I got married." This feels awkward, really. "How do you define marriage? Did you marry your husband because you were in love with him?" I don't know if this is still a work related topic that we must discuss, but... "Sadly, I didn't marry for love." I smiled, and for some reason, I feel like I want to open up. "So, I can't really define the essence of marriage without love as its core value." Yet, I end up stopping myself from serving the first summary of my life. He's still a stranger even if he's entitled as my boss. I want to kno

    AFTER they spent the whole day giving quality time altogether, they went home and prepared for another day's series of responsibilities that await them ahead. Rain woke up usually early and did her morning routines, including preparing her children's needs before going to school. Helping them to wash up and dress them up before sending them to their school. She arrived at the company. She's actually thirty minutes early before the call time. She thought it was way better so she could have the time to check the things she has to do for the day and sort them out. She learned how to be flexible and manage her time. Her first week at work has taught her to be. Especially when she was suddenly called to go overtime at work the recent day. When she's done sorting out in her table, she noticed the slightly open door of the CEO. UNconsciously, she got curious and walked to check the office. She believed that there's no one in there, so she went inside at ease. Her jaw fell the moment she

    "Here's your balloon." The moment Uriel mentioned the balloon to the little girl, the girl stopped from crying and helped her own tears by wiping it off. Her eyes brightened like a sun that just shone. "Thank you, Sir." A little boy came and took care of the little girl. "Amy, you shouldn't let the thread off your wrist. You're so stubborn and took the tie off. Look at what happened." Uriel was amused to witness the little boy lectured his little sister. It somehow reminds him of his younger self, whereas he used to lecture Aiden whenever he's done careless things and several mistakes. Of all places, it actually happened there with his presence. The little girl is so cute with its two tiny buns. Curls are on the side of its face. She has these cheeky cheeks, pointed nose, and pinkish lips. Her long lashes are attractive as well as its brows that are perfect in shape. 'Her mother must be very beautiful.' Suddenly, his mind spoke as to how admiring the genes this little girl has

    Right after Uriel's work at noon, he took the initiative to call for his butler. To drive him to his dad's house, where it lives with its mistress together with its other family. Yes, his parents are no longer together and had gone separate ways after he reached twelve. Their relationship seemed not to work due to some uncertainties. And he was the fruit and the victim itself from that broken relationship. His mom turned into a person where motherly doesn't even exist. She was callous and even his existence never counts and was treated unevenly. He never experienced on how does it feel to be loved by a mother. Never. And that's why he grew up like an ice, where coldness bathed his personality. Unlike, Aiden. He was raised beautifully, with good people surrounding him, where everyone that surrounds him, loves him dearly. And that's what also makes Aiden turned into someone who's softy, but a spoiled and a teaser man. Aiden is his biological brother. However, they grew up separately.

    Both of them are quiet aware of who they are in each other's lives. They must not step beyond the boundaries that they shared as boss and employee. Invading someone else's privacy must not be tolerated and maximized. And in order to protect her profile, Rain stood up with her lies by nodding to her boss' question. For her, it's inappropriate for her boss to know more about her life. "He must be wondering why you're not coming home..." he stated. "I have already explained to him why I wasn't able to come home. It was my fault for not informing him in advanced, but he's fine now. Don't worry about it, Sir." she assured as she made her way back to the living area of the office, where she worked since last night. "I see. You should go home by six, I'll do the rest." he commanded, which made her stilled. She's surprised to hear that he's not planning to rest and just continue with work. Is he immortal? Aren't he tired and sleepy after all the workloads they've done together? Rain has
