GIO's POV When Scarlet and I got home, I immediately carried her to her room. Mom and her siblings are already asleep. Because they sleep together in mom and dad's room. Mom didn't even know Scarlet went to the bar, luckily they went to bed early. Scarlet also noticed that I wasn't there so I didn't realize that she left to drink. I just shook my head. Lily, Tom and Aira were in a room, in Scarlet's sister's room. There are two beds and they will fit.I can smell the alcohol in his mouth so I feel like I'm getting drunk too. Why did he get drunk? Doesn't he know that he's not allowed to drink without me? Fortunately, I caught up with you earlier, maybe what else that man would do to him. It's annoying but I need to calm down. I know it's my fault but maybe it's not enough for him to get drunk because of that. I have my reasons so I haven't told him that yet. I slowly put him down on the bed and stared at his face. I fixed her hair because it covered her face. I smiled because his l
GIO's POV I don't know if Scarlet and I are okay or not. When he finished eating earlier, he immediately went out of his room. He just said that he will first wash what he ate and prepare breakfast. I just nodded at what he said, I let him be alone for now. Maybe she needs time and I will give it to her. I was just sitting on the sofa and just looking at him. I smiled so much when I saw him preparing food on the table. It's like I imagined we were married and he was making me breakfast this morning. She really is a material girl. He has everything. "Bro," Tom called me softly, I turned to him, he was still holding out his hand, obviously just waking up."Why?" I asked him. He snorted at Scarlet, who had already turned his back on us. "Are you all right?" he whispered to me. "I don't know, we talked earlier but now he is avoiding me. I don't know, I don't understand her, but I will give her time to understand everything maybe," I promised her. “Wow, man. You are really changing,
Scarlet's POV Until now I still ignore Gio. I don't know why I'm still annoyed with him when I found out his reason why he didn't tell me that. Because it's so shallow, he lied because he didn't want me to get into trouble? Well, even if the situation is reversed, I'm still really involved because my father is involved. I clenched my fist when I thought of Leila. Fuck her, I won't be able to forgive her if I find out that she really had something to do with my father's death. I want to tell mom everything but I don't want to add more stress to her. It's hard, he hasn't even moved on from his father's death when he hears bad news again. I might not be able to take it anymore if I lose him."Scarlet," Aira called me. I turned to him and smiled. I was hanging out on the beach, watching the sunset. I don't know where Gio, Tom and Lily are. Maybe it's going for a walk, I don't know. Let them take care of their lives. "Why?" I asked him. "You are very grumpy there, how are you feeling?
Scarlet POVWhen we returned home, we saw Gio and Lily fighting in the distance. I frowned, it's a good thing they didn't fight at home, I might kick them both out if that happens."It looks like the cousins are fighting," Aira told me."It looks like what happened?" I asked him."Let's go! Let's come closer so we can hear what the two of them were fighting about," Aira said and immediately pulled me away."It's your fault, if you hadn't come here to Siargao we wouldn't be in trouble! Scarlet and I are fine, but when you came, she stopped paying attention to me!" Gio snorted at Lily."You're really going to blame me! If you're not stupid, why haven't you told him the truth right away? I thought he already knew," Lily told him angrily."I'm really afraid that he might leave me when he finds out the truth, you don't know how hard it is to tell the truth, Lily," Gio sadly promised her."Don't blame me for your tiredness, I'm here to help you not to fight you two, Gio," Lily promised hi
GIO's POV I was so upset earlier because of Lily. She's annoying, is she constantly giving me advice that I lack the effort that's why Scarlet and I haven't gotten along yet? It should be like this, that's how I'll do it. I said, I wanted to give her time and space. Then he got angry, saying it was a waste of time. I just shook my head at his rudeness. I'm not used to being teased by another girl and I'm only used to being teased by Scarlet. "Bro, it looks like the girls are doing okay, they are very happy with each other," Tom promised me. I turned to what he was pointing at and I saw that the three of them were enjoying themselves there, especially Lily. She can jump very well. "They seem to like my cousin," I promised him."Lily is nice," Tom said to me. I just nodded to him. We approached them. Lily and Aira looked at us. Scarlet just bowed. What's wrong with him? Earlier it was laughing but when we were approaching it was already bowing. Aira elbowed Scarlet so she looked at
Scarlet's POV Gio and I are currently on our way to town to buy drinks. It's six o'clock in the evening so the sky is quite dark. I was surprised when I felt someone rubbing my thigh. It was Gio, I was turned around by his behavior but he didn't care at all. It only focuses on driving me. "What are you doing?" I asked him and he raised an eyebrow. "Nothing," he said and looked at me with a smile. I fell in love with him. I'm a bit nervous so I patted his hand on my thigh. He just laughed. "Okay, I won't do it again." "Focus on your driving, maybe we'll catch up," I strictly promised him."Yes boss," he greeted me. I grinned at his in-laws. "Do you want to eat first? Before we go grocery shopping?” Gio asked me. "We'd better go grocery shopping before we eat," I promised him. "Alright, where do you want to eat?" he asked me. "Maybe just at Lollibee, there is a Lollibee there," I promised him. "Alright, we're here," he promised and parked his car on the side of the department
Scarlet's POV I calmed down Gio first before we went home. It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and we were also given a few hours here in the park. "Are you okay? Water," I promised him. "Thank you, honey. Shame on you. It's just now that I cried like this and in front of a woman, it demeans my manhood," he told me, frowning at me."Are you serious? Didn't I tell you that it's okay to cry in front of me, I won't judge you. All of us, male or female have feelings. Even boys do cry, stop saying that when a man cries it lowers his confidence. You know I admire those boys who are true to their feelings, who are never ashamed crying in front of many people," I promised him. He frowned when he heard that from me. "Why?" I asked him more. "I will always cry to you just in case you like me," he promised me. I immediately hit him so he turned away from me. "Thanks! I don't like you..." He frowned even more because of what he heard. "I told you so!" he promised me."Because I lo
Scarlet's POV Our table is set up, we bought a lot of drinks because we also invited the men and women of our barangay. The newlyweds Nico and Sharmaine were also invited by us. That will come soon. I was in trouble because there were many young people coming to the house. So we set up two more tables. Fortunately, they are also kind, especially the men. I just don't like the way women look at my boyfriend. Both Aira and I are also angry because Tom is also being criticized by them. "Looks like we invited the girls wrong, Scarlet," he whispered to me. "It's good to poke their eyes out, isn't it?" I asked him."You said it!" Aira promised. “I heard that! You guys, let the women here have their fill, until they only look at your boys," Lily teased us. "Oh, since they're not looking at you!" Aira snorted at him. He laughed and looked at someone in the distance. We looked at what he was staring at. I saw the young man smiling with Tom and Gio. Looks like they even found a new friend
Gio A soft tap woke me up so I turned on my back. "That will come too, bro. Don't worry, you won't run away," Tom laughingly promised me while carrying his cute, cute son. This is the feeling of getting married, it's so nervous that I feel sick. Tangina mixed emotions. We are currently at the altar and waiting for my fiancé. "Tangina because I miss her, I want to see her. I haven't seen my husband for a few days, I miss him so much," I told him, making him laugh. "Relax, bro. That too will come!” Tom convinced me. Everyone is here except my fiancé.Later I stood up straight because the door of the church was slowly opened and the most beautiful woman on the face of the earth was spat out. My fiance Scarlet Hart Berkshire. “Damn! Why is she so beautiful?” I whispered to myself. Even though her belly bump is obvious, her sexiness and beauty still don't fade. I don't even know why she's still sexy even though she eats so much every day, she even beat me to eat. I can't control my
Scarlet Gio was quickly discharged from the hospital. He was only hit a few times on the body, one on the side and the other on the arm. I am very thankful to God because he did not let me down. He did not take my love from me. I smiled when an arm wrapped around my waist. We are currently on the terrace of his condo. I went back to his condo because I was the one taking care of him. "What are you thinking, honey?" he asked me as he buried his face in my neck and kissed it gently. I'm a little tickled but that's okay."I can only think of all the suffering we both had before. From the time we met until now, we have gone through many trials but here we are still together," I promised. "You know, no matter what trials come our way, we and only us will stay together, honey because we belong to each other." "Are you happy that I am the one you will marry?" I asked him. "It's so much fun, especially since we're going to have children. I'm so excited to see jr. let's." I felt him low
Scarlet I shed a lot of tears when I saw that Gio was hit by a bullet. My heart beats constantly because of the pain and fear I feel. 'OH, GOD! DON'T TAKE GIO FROM ME' “G-Gio, don't leave me! Don't close your eyes," I promised him while holding both of his cheeks. His eyes were watering, his cheeks were almost full of blood because of my bloody hands because of the locust that hit him. "DON'T TOUCH ME! I WILL KILL YOU ALL!” I heard Leila shout. I just ignored it because I was only focused on Gio. He gently touched my cheek and smiled softly."You're... safe... and... last," he promised me. His tears ran down his cheeks. He leaned forward and held his side. I heard the ambulance outside so I felt calm. "Yes, but you're not s-safe, honey. You are right," I whined to him. "Please, be brave for us, honey. We need you," I added crying. His eyes widened looking at me. "Us? We? What do you mean?” he stammered to me. I smiled sweetly at him. "Yes, us because you're going to be a fathe
GIO We wasted no time, I quickly contacted my staff to go to Leila's location. I quickly told them about our plan. They will take care of Leila's staff and Tom and I will take care of Leila. "Be careful there, if you need help just call me and Lily," Aira seriously promised us while we put on bulletproof. "I will be careful for you and for our baby, babe. Don't worry I will come home without a scar, promise!” Tom said to her and he quickly kissed his girlfriend Aira on the forehead. "Be careful too, Gio. I trust you," Lily promised me. “Thank you. For our freedom and for Scarlet.” It smiled and nodded. After we got ready, we immediately said goodbye to the two. It even insisted on wanting to come but we didn't allow it because it was dangerous. We are currently in the car and are traveling to Leila's location. Later my walkie talkie rang, I immediately answered it. "We are at the location, boss, over," said Mr. John to me. "Good, Mr. John, just stand by. Tom and I are getting
GIO I quickly left the club to catch up with Scarlet. I quickly got into my car and drove to Siargao. Leila called me a while ago but I didn't even pay attention to it. I don't care what his problem is, let him do whatever he wants for the wedding but I won't show up. He is crazy. I tried to call Scarlet's cell phone but it was turned off. I lost hope of contacting him so I just stopped. I will see him in Siargao I can assure you of that. I have to explain to him that if I had known that he was coming, I would have waited for him outside the club to avoid the girls inside. Damn!I will never cheat on her. That's probably the most impossible thing for me to do, I'm just afraid of him that he might leave me again. I don't want your past to happen again, I might not be able to handle it. I didn't waste any time and I ran fast, maybe it would be better if I went to their house first and just wait for them there. The flight to Siargao is only a few hours, so I can handle it even if I hav
I immediately went to Royal Night Club, there were still many people entering inside, rich businessmen and businesswoman. When I entered, my eyes immediately searched for my friend Tom but I couldn't find him. I approached the bartender, because I already know him. "Long time no see, boss! I haven't seen you here in a long time, the group misses you!” he promised me when he saw me. He is also one of the strippers here, sometimes a bartender and sometimes a stripper. He has to clean because his mother is sick, we are in the same situation but we have different status in life. "It's been a bit busy, haven't you? your mother? How are you?” I asked him."Mother's condition is good, the doctor said she will be able to go out in a few months. Thank you very much boss for donating, that's a big help to me," he said with a smile and I just nodded. "That's good, just don't let yourself down. Where is boss Tom?” I asked him. "He doesn't have a boss yet, maybe he's still in his condo. You kn
SEVERAL days have passed since Scarlet and I broke up. I can't contact him as well as Aira and Tom. I only keep in touch with Lily. He said that he doesn't see Scarlet in the condo anymore and that there is no one there. Aira and Tom are always busy, I haven't been able to catch up with them at the company. I know it avoids me and I know the reason.I am currently in my office looking at the evidence I will use in court against Leila. I don't know what to do now that everything is in front of me, my presence at the police station is lacking, but I can't walk my feet there because I'm afraid that the police won't believe me. I never trust police officers. I remember when I reported to the police, I was 18 years old at that time. I realized then that what Leila was doing to me was wrong and I couldn't stomach it anymore. I really have to do something to be free from him. I tried to confess it to my parents but I was overcome by shame and fear. Mommy was still sick then and dad was treat
GIO I was VERY hurt when I saw Scarlet crying while being led by Aira. It's painful for me to see what I did earlier, I have no choice if I didn't follow Leila, she will be angry that she might even hurt my boyfriend. I was so mad at the same time scared because we didn't have any competition with Leila's crew. It's better that I'm away from them because they're safer when I'm with them. Leila hugged my arm but I didn't care about her. I hate him so much I want to push him but I can't. Just a little bit of me will do bad things and wonders to my loved ones."Don't worry, Gio. Tomorrow we will get married, you are mine and no one can take you away. Scarlet is gone because she left you," he promised me. My head got even hotter because of what he said. It's like I went back in time, the old me. My body is still shaking because of the fear of him. I fought to stop it, but it didn't work. All I need is my Scarlet, she's the only one who can calm me down. I closed my eyes tightly because
Scarlet POVWe are currently in the park and waiting for Leila. I'm restless because it took him so long to come. We were here a while ago at nine o'clock but he still isn't there, it's almost eleven o'clock."Will those who took Patpat still come, son?" mother asked me in tears."Yes, I know it will come, just trust me, mom," I promised her and held her hand. The truth is, I've been nervous for a while because Leila hasn't replied yet. I think maybe he changed his mind or something. He's already cut my text, it's impossible for him not to read it. I looked at Gio and I holding hands. Soon we will be separated and I don't know if I will be able to be separated from him. But I will strengthen my heart for the sake of my brother Patpat. I know that God will not allow us to be separated, I have confidence that he will find a way for us to get back together again.I will not agree to just leave him in Leila's hands. I decided that once we got Patpat, I would immediately look for Gio. I wi
