"Where have you been?" wrinkled when Harold asked me.

"Just had a coffee," I said and immediately turned around to the back. I still thought about Edmund. I'm freaking out again. Maybe later it's just a normal look and I'm just putting meaning to it.

I waited for Harold to enter the front. He didn't act immediately so I looked at him in surprise. "Aren't we leaving yet?" I asked him in surprise.

"Who were you with in the café earlier?"

"Just a new friend," I answered but immediately turned my eyes away.

"Why can't you look at me?"

"Why? What is the connection of the look?” I'm also a bit annoyed with him.

"Why are you talking to me like that?"

"You're so ugly," I said annoyed. He suddenly became silent. I'm speechless here at the back. I just felt that he drove the car away.

When I got down I didn't wait for him to open me. I opened the door and went straight inside the house.

"What are you doing?" wrinkled when Harold asked a question that I didn't even bother to answer. He will take

    At night, I fell asleep on the sofa while trying to avoid Harold. I was disgusted that I was losing weight with him last night. Whatever he was doing. I just woke up inside the room of Mr. Shein but he is no longer by my side.I wasn't nervous anymore because I felt that Harold was already at the bottom. Anyway, I'm still thinking about the possibility that Mr. Shein and he might be one and the same. It's not that vague. But I wonder if my suspicions are true."Good morning," I immediately looked up when I heard what Harold said. I frowned when his silly smile greeted me. I narrowed my eyes at him. What else could he be thinking?What do you think about that? I wanted to ask her but I felt embarrassed when I saw that it was freshly bathed and in very good shape. Where is he going?I looked away and went to the kitchen to drink water."Hey, I said good morning," I stopped for a moment. I looked at Harold and saw him frowning and seemed to be frowning as he folded his arms to the side.

    "What do you need and you've been following?" I asked with a frown. I also took a bath with Oprah and I was planning to take a bath too but I'm already annoyed with Harold who has been paying attention to me for a while now."What? I just want to drink water.” He said but he is next to me here in CR."So what are you going to drink? Tub water?” he immediately frowned again."What do you need?" I'm about to run out of patience with him."Date. I want us to date.” I was surprised by what he said."Are you alright? No. I do not want!""Why don't you?" he said frowning. I was stunned by his question. Why don't I? Isn't it obvious?"Because I'm married!""We won't tell your husband that we date." Why did he say this? Is this his way to disturb me? His courage."Are you Mr. Shane?” I expected him to be surprised but he wasn't. He suddenly scolded me for the reason why I backed away."What makes you think I'm him?"I looked at him. "Why? Isn't it?”“No. Cause I'm better than him." He answere

    "Stop it, Veron.""What? I just saved your ass, Shein.” I shook my head when I saw his eyes roll before he drank the cocktail from the glass.She's putting my life at risk. My wife ignored me for whole fvcking day yesterday even earlier when I took her to school because of what she did. And now she's telling me she saved my ass? She's awful."Sir," I looked up and I saw Vicente, fixing his necktie, handling me the documents that I need to sign. "Good morning, ma'am Veronica.""Hello, Vicente. You look good. How are you?”"Thank you. I'm fine.”“You know what, I'm offering you double. Leave Shein alone. Work for me.” I scolded Veronica. Try him Veron. You won't succeed. She's tripping me but I'm confident with Vicente's loyalty to me."I'm sorry ma'am but I need to take down your offer." Veron rolled his eyes at me when he heard Vicente's look at him. I couldn't help but grin at him.“Here. Thank you for your hard work, Vicente. And.. can you go to TG? Tell him I will give it to them.”

    "Brother, what are we doing here?" I put my finger in the middle of my lips. We are in a public food court where streetfoods gather."Don't be noisy," I said."Brother, you are like my sister's stalker. If I hadn't stopped you earlier, I feel like the guy with him would have been beaten." He frowned as if he was scolding me. If I was really the only one to ask earlier, he wouldn't have just beaten me."Brother, it's like this. What are you and sister like? "Don't you have anything?" What do you mean nothing? Your sister is my wife."Because you don't have one, so you have no right to be jealous." I crossed my hand in front of me and leaned back where we were sitting now. How many years has it been and if you can talk you seem to know a lot?"You can talk like what?""Just wait brother. Stay there. I'll order first." He said and approached the cook who cooked a large amount of food. I looked at my husband's behavior. His companion was talking to him. They are not doing anything wrong b

    I looked at my brother with surprise. We are in a dining room. We had dinner here because that's what the mother told us."Nak, please hand over the tinola," I was about to get the soup when Harold led me. Confused, I followed him with a look. what is he doingHe handed the tinola bowl to his mother. "Thank you," my jaw dropped to the floor when I heard from my mother. "Welcome aunty," Harold replied with a smile. I looked at Dave again and he seemed as confused as I was by what was happening.What trouble is this? Why do we hear something?"Maybe one of you mothers can explain what's going on here?" I folded my arms in front of me but the mother just pinched me which made Harold laugh."Don't be like that in front of food, Lorelay. Eat there." He said this which made me frown."Hi people," Shiela caught our attention. He had a dish in a tupperware. I smiled when our eyes met but he immediately froze when he saw Harold."Hi sister," said Dave.“Shiela, come on. Come with us here." The

    "It's getting late, are you going home?" I was silent by Shiela's side and looked at her mother."Yes aunt. We have to go back to where Lorelay and I are staying. Our boss is also looking for us. Something will be encoded for us.” He is good at lying in fairness."Brother, you promised me." I frowned at the two. What promise is Dave referring to?"What is that?" my groin in two."There's nothing there, sister. This is a man's talk," he said and turned his attention back to his cellphone. Why!The mother approached Harold and they went out first while he seemed to ignore me in the living room that was his son. "Looks like aunty has a new favorite," Shiela said with a smile.I just shook my head and followed the two outside the house. Shiela was next to me looking at Harold. "Bes," I stopped when my friend called me."Why?" I looked at him. I'm waiting for what he will say to me next while his eyes are straight ahead.

    We were all in the living room. The four of them were silent. I brought them something to eat. I fried chicken for them. I also put beer because that was Richmoon's request."I sat in the seat near Lee because there was a vacancy right next to him when Harold suddenly stood up and approached where we were. We all looked at him full of wonder. He wasn't looking at me but he was looking at Lee."Move Lee," he was serious and you couldn't hear the joke from him. Lee was shocked by what he said and immediately stood up and they switched seats. I followed him with a frown.“Lee, why did you move?” I asked in surprise.He scratched his head and glanced at Harold then turned to me. "I like it better here," he said and sat down. I heard Richmoon and mayor Gacus laugh softly after Lee said that."Pucha is very protective!" Richmoon laughed and automatically fell silent when his eyes met with Harold. Even mayor Gacus was the same, he suddenly became quiet and coughed."So Richmoon, why are you

    The next morning, Mr. Shein is next to me but I can feel him leaving earlier. I just didn't understand him and went back to sleep. I won't insist on seeing him because our set up is fine. Instead he left and never showed up again.I immediately took a shower then went down. When I came down I wasn't surprised to see Harold waiting for me downstairs. He immediately greeted me and smiled as big as if he had won the lottery."Are you smiling at that?""I will give you something," I wondered and waited for what he would give. Something grabbed her from behind and I was a little surprised to see a rose stem on her."For you, baby." He took my hand and gave me the flower. Its thorn is gone. I think he took it.Nice but….I sighed and returned the flower to him.“Don't give me things like this, Harold. I don't allow you to court me or give me anything.” I said to him seriously. "You have a girlfriend, I have a wife. It's very immoral if we cheat on both of them and besides, I have no plans t

    "Ma'am, are you out yet?" Lorelay nodded to Arman, one of the waiters at the club where she worked. When he got down to the ground floor, he saw Mr. Shein with another woman. It is sitting while holding someone."Just every Saturday," Lorelay said weakly and tried to get the pain out of her system.Lorelay continued to leave, ignoring the eyes that followed her out.He immediately hailed a taxi, and drove to Zee's house. When he got there, he found only helpers. Zeebal did not rebel. 'Is he still mad?' Lorelay asked absently as she attended to the assistants in preparing their suitcases."Sister, please wake up the children." Now they are leaving, back to their old house but the kids don't want to leave their daddy Zee's house.Everyone looked at Sico who frowned as he looked at the suitcases scattered in the living room."Sico, you understood mom, didn't you?""Mama, I don't want to leave. I'm only with daddy Zee." Sico cried to Lorelay. When Lorelay looked at Rico, she saw the same

    "WHERE ARE YOU?" Zee asked Lorelay as she saw her sneak away after putting the twins to bed in the bedroom."Don't make a noise Zeebal. I'm leaving. Just going to buy something." Lorelay was disgusted with the man who couldn't stop smiling while facing her.'She's scary yet sexy,' Zee said softly in her mind as she looked at Lorelay who was about to board a taxi.It's like Timang leaning against the door and looking at the taxi leaving. He spent a minute there before deciding to enter.Zee let out a deep breath and lay down on the sofa. Just then he realized something that made him wake up suddenly. "That brat! Don't tell me I'll be the one left behind by his children?" Annoyed, he chased Lorelay outside but it was too late because the girl's taxi was already leaving.He angrily kicked the rock only to be hurt. Dejected, he entered the house again and threw himself on the sofa."I'm so freaking tired." Zee softly whispered in the air while looking at the photo hanging on the wall of h

    The music inside is loud, the lights are changing. Lorelay was inside the office, not even reviewing what she had to pass on to her boss this month when a staff suddenly ran to her and called her."Ma'am Lorelay, someone is fighting downstairs." Lorelay felt dizzy and was forced to stand up to go downstairs. It's a headache that he always settles other people's fights. 'Where are the guards?' he's only been starting here for three months but he seems like he wants to give up.When he arrived at the ground floor, the two men involved were already separated. In this bar, it is not their business to sell bodies to their Entertainers. If they want to serve their clients, the bar is out there.All extra service is a decision of the staffs and if many clients force them and they don't want it, they won't think twice about kicking the client out of their bar so Lorelay is satisfied with her job."Ma'am, I think you are stressed." The bartender laughed as Lorelay leaned against the island cou

    "YOU ARE COMING?!" Zee couldn't hide the smile on her lips when Lorelay told her that they would come back to Luzon with her. Her parents are sending Zeebal back to them because of personal matters that Zee is trying to escape from.“Yes. I'm preparing our plane ticket bill. Actually, I thought that we would go next because we would just go by ship to save money." Lorelay said that they are having a hard time budgeting the rest of their money."I'll take care of your plane tickets," Zee presented to Lorelay, which Lorelay immediately frowned at. “Stop Zeebal!” He said this to his friend. Zee's lips tilted because he knew that the girl was ashamed of him."You're a family to me. You children and auntie Lorena. I consider you family." Zee tells Lorelay that she was ignored.'You have helped me and Zee a lot. It's embarrassing,' said Lorelay in her mind."I know you will insist that we go together, so go ahead, I'll buy plane tickets later."Zee's smile widened when the woman said that.

    "Brother, is this where they say is a famous restaurant? Why is there no store?” Dave frowned when he asked Lee because he was still hungry and Lorena's restaurant is the most famous restaurant in Valencia that the two of them even thought about."Yeah. They say it's here but it looks like it's closed," the two were about to leave when they heard someone inside so Lee and Dave looked at each other and decided to go ahead. They found a child inside who was jumping up and down with a cookie and a chocolate bar in his hand.Zee was stunned to see the people who entered. Lyrico also ran to Zee and hid behind her. The two men looked at each other when they saw the boy. 'Sister?' Dave said in his mind while looking at Rico who was peeking from behind Zeebal.'Lorelay,' Lee said in his mind as he met the boy's blue eyes. "Yes? What do you need?” the two immediately lost sight of the boy and looked at Zee."Is Lorena's Restaurant here? We would have eaten here." Lee said."Oh yes, right here.

    -5 years after-"Mommy!" I'm almost at a loss for what to do, especially since I don't know what to do first. First, I still have to work because my aunt and I have sold our place here because of her hospitalization. We are still in debt.My auntie is diabetic so she has maintenance insulin since the last few months. But before that we went back to the hospital.The twins are already studying and we have almost no money left to meet our daily needs. There were more bills for water, electricity and the remaining savings of auntie and I barely fit for the next month."Mama, it's fine. I'll be the one to help Musico with his assignments." I smiled at Lyrico."Why? Is that difficult?" I asked the two. My naughty daughter Sico short for Musico smiled at me and Lyrico shook her head."No mom. Just pay attention to Sico." When I looked at Sico, he stood up laughing and ran to me. "I love you, mom. I'm sorry." He said and returned to the twins who were frowning at him.Between Sico and Rico,

    "Lorelay, child!!" auntie called me. We were in his carenderya and I was in the kitchen because I was washing a lot of dishes and I left the twins outside.I was in a hurry to get out, and I was like a statue where I stood when I saw the unexpected visitor.Shiela holds Musico and Jax holds Lyrico. I gasped and tears welled up in my eyes when I saw them smiling happily at me."Well!!!" Shiela's voice echoed and handed Musico to Kay auntie before running to me and hugging me."I miss you beees!!" I was crying while returning his hug because when I left, we didn't talk before.I just told him to leave me alone and respect my decision. I just told him the place I was going, and I thank him for not telling Mr. Shein where I am."Oh! Continue that at your house. Let's put it away so we can go home," said auntie. First I introduced Shiela and Jax Jay auntie Lorena and this to them as well.Jax helped me wash up because Shiela was watching over the two toddlers who giggled every time Shiela

    "El, look at your son!!" Zeebal stressed to me while looking at my son Musico who was crawling on the floor because he wanted to come near me."It's Lorelay and not El," I said laughing as I sat down and greeted my daughter who was giggling as she approached me with open arms."It's the same! Lorelay starts with letter L that makes you as El (L)." I didn't respond to Zee's logic because I'm the only one who will be poured into it."Son, you are defiled." I said when I saw Musico's dress that looked brown even though it was white."Your babies are weird," Zee said grimacing but smiling when Lyrico crawled up to her and held her leg as if she was loading her.They crawl at their 7 months. That's when the babies really started to crawl, but I agree with what Zee said. My babies are not weird, they are just talented."Don't you have anything to give birth to now that you're here?" I asked him while mixing Musico's milk."Just finished. I'm sick of looking at other people's fo-keh. I hope

Lyrico Shein and Muico Shein."Musico likes me," Zee said happily because he was sleeping soundly with her while Lyrico was not. When Zee picks him up, he will suddenly cry so he puts it down immediately or gives it to Auntie."How are you feeling beautiful mommy?" I laughed at what Mia said.

They were only supposed to be in Harver for six months but they submitted an application to move here in the province.The owners of Heaven and Harver are brothers and as far as I know, Zee's brothers are the owners of these two hospitals, so it's no wonder that they and Mia got through easily."I feel fine, Doc."
