TCLM#120: What if...?
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It 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

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

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

"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!"
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#124: Is this really the ending for us?
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. Thus, sometimes we need to fall apart to realize how much we need to fall back together. The moment we realized how much this someone means... will fate let us be with that person again?. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#1: MEETING PERCI
Marriage, sometimes we call it matrimony or wedlock. It is a formal union and social and legal contract between two individuals that unites their lives legally, economically, and emotionally. It is a union between people, called spouses, that establishes rights and obligations between them, as well as between them and their children, and between them and their in-laws. But do all marriages involve love and attachment with your significant other? Amarriage of convenienceis a marriage contracted for reasons other than that of love and commitment. Instead, such a marriage is entered into for personal gain, hiding one's homosexuality or some sort of strategic purpose. Have you ever heard of Lavender marriage? Alavender marriageis a male–female mixed marriage, undertaken as a marriage of con
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#2: RUMOR
Cali refused to answer the phone. She is not in the mood to entertain whoever it is. It’s been her hobby to keep people waiting for her. She’s a living saint; little did they know she had this kind of hobby. They were blinded by her superb innocent acting and innocent face. She’s a wolf in sheep’s clothes. Everyone knows that Media control and manipulation can hide ugly truth behind a camera. Everything is possible for those who know how to tame the media. The media is one of the most powerful entities in the world. They have the power to turn the innocent into the guilty and the guilty into the innocent, and that is power. Because they hold massive influence to control the consciousness of the masses. “Come on! What is wrong with these people? For Pete’s
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#3: MISTAKE
The midnight sky becomes a sweet embrace of starry black. It is a fresh chance to wake up in a winter chill. A cold wind sends chills to Cali's body. She's half-awake when she noticed a heavy thing lying on her right leg. She squinted her eyes to see whether she's dreaming or not. 'Is this a man's leg?' Her mind wonders if it's just a dream or a real thing. She gently placed her index finger and carefully pressed it to this man's leg. Upon waking up, her brain replays the last few scenes of her dreams. She gasped when she realized that she was not dreaming. Waking up is a transition from the world of dreams into the day, and for that, it is good to take a little time to feel yo
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#4: He's a closeted
She was an unburdened girl, for she had removed the stupid thought that happened to her. After losing her innocence a while ago, she decided to let it pass. She treats it as her nightmare. She moved on as fast as a thunderbolt. She believed that there is no point in crying over spilled milk. She realized that it is just her innocence, and it is not like it would make her less human. Well, it's just for her perspective, but for those conservative people, if that thing would come out in public, she'll probably be executed for tainting morality. She just shrugged; she is confident that no one will be going to find it out. She laughed at the thought that she can act innocent and pure. “Virginity my butt, those consesrvative fools used it as a card to humiliate women. Our dignity is not in our flower down there,” she uttered. She felt

"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
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.”
