TCLM#108: Restarting her life.
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Everyone could not keep their eyes off her children. They are admiring the twins as well as the mom. They are like a celebrity that is visiting Los Angeles. Cali decided to fly to stay with his brother. She had stayed in Canada for six years. She contacted her brother after Remedios died. He was worried sick and thus persuaded her to live with them. She refused because inconveniencing her brother and his wife is not part of her concern.
She looked at the kids who were busy reading books. "I wonder what Calix would say after seeing you both." They did not hear her because they were wearing pods.
Her brother does not know that she had a kid because she didn't tell him. Perci crossed her mind; she wondered what happened to her ex-husband. He did not look for them; was it b

“I think Ms. Cali must have moved to another country. According to the bookstore owner, she stopped coming and it’s been six years. Also, she had an accident. I found news about a car crash and she is the only one who survived. The guy died and the woman jumped off the hospital. I heard she’s with a child.” “Alright, stop the investigation. I have heard what I need to hear. It’s about time to stop looking for her.” He thought that Cali must have forgotten him already. He clenched his arm, “It’s that bastard's fault. But, I have no solid evidence to put him on trial. The court will not believe that I have recovered from Amnesia.”He already found out that the three of them had planned the kidnapping and they even injected that substance which leads to amnesia.

He stayed up late to reread the content of the book. He is sure that it wasn't just his imagination. It is almost identical to how he met Cali. It all started when she kissed him at the party. The mother of the male lead offered a lavender marriage to the actress that is the female lead. Even the scene at the Cliff is identical on their first honeymoon. The scene when they went to Singapore had also included. However, the writer altered the place of the story. Still, the scene reminded him of their first Christmas together, their first new year, and even the valentines. The character’s name is also different, but he felt like it’s actually him and Cali. He has two assumptions; first, Cali must have told someone their journey together, and that person must have written it. His second assertion is, Cali wrote it. If it's Cali, then it means she remembers everything. The thing that intrigued h
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#111: Cali, what are you doing?!
Her face registered on his mind, the way her eyes almost plucked out when he moved his swivel chair that time. He anticipated meeting her one of these days, and that day happened. It happened but not like the fairy tales where the lead characters found their happy ending after being apart for a long time. His reunion with his long-lost wife is an epic failure. He touched his lips and reminisced the bitter-sweet taste of her mouth. After long years, his thirsty mouth had a taste of heaven. He was hurt when Cali resisted; she used to love being kissed by him. How come she hated it now? He cannot stop thinking about her. Cali still owns his heart, but he does not want to look desperate. He has a strong urge to confront her, but he is afraid to hear that she doesn't love him anymore. He stared at the picture he always had on his wall
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#112: Paid to slept with a stranger.
"See me at the Clover hotel, presidential suite." Like a ruined cassette recorder, the statement of that man kept on rewinding at her mind. It feels more than a language to articulate and express, which is in itself profoundly frustrating. She works through emotions right now by being able to identify her great motherly love and use them as discourse to allow herself to consider that offer. A lot of the time she had spent weighing her decision yet, still left in the dark. She looked around the twins' private room. There is a melancholic trance in which she becomes completely absorbed in vivid sensory details of what is inside—a bed, a bedside table, and a chair. Their room also has a window that overlooks the crossing road, and a vital monitor or the ECG Machines that record the electrical activity o
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#113: He is mad at her.
Perci went to the mall to unwind. A lot of things happened after meeting Cali at his office. He is trying to understand what could be the reason for her acting like she did not know him.He could not believe that Cali had chosen the hard way. He treated her like a queen, yet she still chooses to live in poverty even after Laurence's death? Is she still loyal to him? Perci came to the conclusion that Cali did not really love him and simply used his wealth before. He really doesn't understand her. He was interrupted when his phone rang, it was his mother again. "Mom, I told you. I don't need a blind date. Someone had caught my attention." "That's good to hear. We will be back next month to meet that lucky woman,"says Ceci.
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#114: I don't need you, Perci.
She was standing behind the back of a woman and a man who was happily watching the sunset. Her heart cried in pain hearing his laughs. He used to laugh only with her. She was the only person who knew every side of Perci, but now she no longer exists in his world. She came first, but she was not his end game. She is just a person that helped him find the real him. She is just a passerby, and she will never be relevant to him anymore. "Cali? Are you alright?"Calix shook her shoulder. He was surprised to see his only sister crying while sleeping. He visited the twins early since Audrey was taken care of by his in-laws. She wiped her tears while nodding her head."I'm just worried sick about the twins."
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#115: He started being hostile.
"Cali, are you ok?" Calix asked her. Cali was too occupied in the thought of accepting the job offered by the stranger. "Where did you get the money?"He asked his sister. He lends her only $100k because Audrey's labor is way too expensive. "I-I borrowed from my old friend." "Cali, you don't have a real friend aside from me and your former husband." Cali looked away and thought that she should not tell her brother that Perci is also in Los Angeles and they met before. But, it is just one of her concerns. She also hid the truth of selling her body twice to a stranger. "Laurence had left money to me
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#116: Silently breaking each other's heart
Reese had a good night's sleep thanks to Perci’s effort in giving a comfortable place to stay. She stood up when her phone rang. Ceci is on the other line, obviously to ask if Perci did come to the airport to escort her. "Reese, did Perci escorted you?" "Yes, Auntie."Her hunch is right. "How are you guys doing?” "We had a small talk yesterday and he told me that he used to marry a woman named Cali but they had separated six years ago." The other line was filled with dead air until Ceci broke the silence."Yes, that woman he married eloped with another man.”

A little misunderstanding can destroy everything because it's poisonous that it makes us forget the most beautiful moments we shared. But life is a rollercoaster.

The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#123: Why are you hesitating?
"I am the father of the twins, right?" he asked while keeping his eyes on her without blinking. Cali looked away and didn't say a thing. She was paralyzed to the spot, the menacing aura of Perci holding him in a tightening grip. "Damn it! Answer me!" She jolted when Perci shouted and threatened her with dead eyes. She spits on him, but Perci didn't mind it. He grinned and wiped his face on her clothes. "Why are you hiding my child from me?!"He is pinning her much more aggressively than before. She laughed and met his cold eyes, "Stop hallucinating!"

He went to the gym to keep his body in shape. After his exercise, he changed into comfortable red t-shirt and humble jersey shorts. He walked Perree into the lobby and kept on barking at Cali.She glared at him while the other two receptionists were admiring Perree's cuteness. "I rarely see you these days sir since ma'am Reese checked out,"says one of the receptionists. He flaunted a Colgate smile that irritates Cali. She rolled her eyes and rested her head on the chair. Her ears are with them but she acted disinterested. "Why is Perree barking on you, Cali? He looks excited to see you." Cali is uneasy because Perci might bring their past which she had hidden and

The mirror invites Perci to see his soul and the condition of his heart, to look past physical features. He sees nothing but a man in his 40's, single and broken. 'I wish I had not met you again.' He broke the mirror; it was the last mirror in his room because the rest is broken. A crack runs across the glass, finding the weaknesses that were once small. From a perfect mirror to something that is unrecognizable. He watches each fragment fly outward until they lie still yet vicious on the Marmol floor. Breaking glass has become his art and comfort. There is nothing more broken than his heart. Those fragments are nothing compared to his heart. He watched them shatter and release just a fragment of the rage that keeps him upright. He stood up and stared at the city lights from the glass wall whil
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#120: What if...?
It has been a week since she received a message from Henry. She wondered what happened to that guy. There is no flower nor good morning from him. She shrugged her shoulders and focused on the kids instead. Today is her rest day, and she has no plan but to spend it with her angels. "Mommy, can you tell us about daddy? We still don't know his name, and we have not seen any picture of him,"says Perxeus while coloring his activity. "Mommy, the teacher told us to describe our daddy, but we don't know anything about him," Calici seconded. Cali's eyes darted around, panicking, looking for a way to evade their question. Her eyes widened in alarm, unable to look away no matter how much she wished to distract and not answer the

"Mom, your phone is vibrating. A guy named Henry texted you a good morning,"says Perxeus while holding her phone. She snatched it and messed up her son's hair."Who is that guy, mom?" "Are you replacing dad because he is with papa Jesus?"Calici pouted and crossed her arms. "Of course not, cupcakes. He is a good friend of mine. I'll introduce him to both of you, soon."She kissed their forehead. That guy who saved her daughter is Henry. Yeah, she finally asked his name. That guy seems like a very private person. Well, she cannot blame him, he is an effin billionaire that is why he is hiding his identity. They had a good talk yesterday, and he is a gentleman? —

The next day, he decided to visit Reese at her unit. He made sure that Cali was on her shift. He only wants to see her, even for a stolen second. He glanced at the information desk and prepared to be hurt again when their eyes met, only for Cali to look away.The same pain lingers on his heart; whether Cali is glaring at him or not looking at all, nothing much changes. He walked past her and went straight to the elevator. He glanced at Reese and thought that everyone around him need not know about Cali. "Smile," says Reese. She uses her two fingers to move Perci's lips. "I’m not in the mood, I came here because Liah and Albert want to throw a party at your place." "Was it because of the receptionist named Cali?” He looked away an

Perci was busy with C.M Industry, but Cali still visits his mind often. Just like today, he had stopped reviewing the ratings of the company. He stared at their scratched wedding pictures; no matter how many times he folds it and throws it, he only ends up picking it again. When the investigator sent it to him, he printed it and kept it. He closed his eyes and hurt himself again by stabbing Cali's last word to him. It hurts more than a stab from a sharp object. Cali's words are not just a knife but also a poison that is slowly killing him. "It's because I do not want to cross paths with you ever again. So, please leave me alone. Forget that we had been together for almost two years." He has this misty-eyes that is hiding a tear which he does not want to be fre
