TCLM #16: Night on the Cliff.
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56He clicked the remote of the Toyota GR Yaris. He recently brought it over ₱2.65 Million, it is the latest model of the exceptional Toyota series. That hot hatch is lightweight, runs on a newly-developed sports 4WD system dubbed ‘GR-FOUR,’ and packs a 1.6-liter in-line three-cylinder turbocharged G16E-GTS engine that sends a whopping 268hp and 370Nm of torque to all four wheels. It sends a monstrous villainous vibe, with its menacing headlights, multi-spoke 18-inch wheels, and massive fascia with a dominating black honeycomb grille. The hood on the GR Yaris is about as pronounced as hatches get, and the extended shoulders give off the impression that this vehicle’s been hitting the gym quite a bit leading up to its reveal.
"Get inside! We are going somewhere private."

**** Another controversy. **** The sunset blossoms upon the cloud as sweet wild clover blooms. The sunset blossoms red and gold with a flourish of the romantic hand. As if God graffitied rainbow-flame upon the evening sky, the sunset came in its boldest blaze. Cali smiled while looking at the sunset in the sky from the glass wall of the cliff house. It is a fresh color brushed upon an artist's canvas as if those rays were destined to create a great work of art. The orange-gold stretches far and wide, the color of fire hearths and tangerines. It is a reflection of the dawn, the promise of the rising sun that comes after the velvety night.

They arrived at Cali's condo and they could hardly tell that there is a swarm of hungry reporters within the vicinity, and for sure it will be the same situation for the company since she is Melbourne's talent. "You have to come with me,"she demanded. "You have to deal with it alone." He refused to come with her. Why would he risk his life entering such waves of people? "You lead me with no choice, I'm dragging your name with me."She knew that all he wanted was to protect the name of his family. "Jesus! Why do I have to be with this bitc h?" He pinched his nose bri

"Guys, could you give us a moment?" Calix nods his head. He knew that this was not the time to get jealous of her sister. Remedios and Laurence also left them alone to figure out things. Laurence felt a bit jealous of Perci, but he understands Cali. He has faith in her, and he believes in her promises. Perci and Cali were left alone in the sala. They are sitting opposite each other. "I want you to find the waiter who served on the gala night. You have seen his face, right?" He rolled his eyes as he leaned on the sofa, "Aside from my mother, you are the seco

Cali plugged her phone again and left it charging. She went back to the kitchen and asked Calix if he could cook breakfast because she's hungry. "I'm going to his office later. Do you want to tag along?" Cali asked. He shook his head and responded,"I think; it's not the right time. I don't want to get involved in your issue right now. You know I want to live in harmony; that's why I hate the showbiz industry." Cali does understand his sentiment. Not everyone would like to be in the showbiz industry; only an ambitious woman like her would love attention and fame. "By the way, what do we have for breakfast?"she asked.

An intercom intervenes, saying that the order has arrived. Perci commanded her secretary to let the delivery guy enter. A guy wearing a red and black uniform of Max's rider arranged the food on top of the coffee table. "Thank you for serving us."Cali smiled at the guy who delivered the food. This guy is a die-hard fan of hers. He did not expect that he was lucky enough to see her in person. "May I have your signature, ma'am Cali. My daughter and I; we love you so much."The rider asked while scratching his back, hoping that she'll consider it."Sure," she replied as she swiveled the chair closer to the working table."Where should I sign?"

Cali and the guy shake hands after compromising. She smiled at the thought that she could finally lay her trap on her. It's about time to break the silence. It's about time to drop a bomb. "I'm heading out. You better watch the news today,"says Cali while winking her left eye. He did not say anything. He watched Cali walking like she won a lottery. He was left alone again at his office. There is no more Cali, who always orders him around. His inner peace comes from feeling to his deep soul that knowing no one would bother him. It is a sensation that he has earned, an inner peace dealing with things alone. An inner peace within the ton of load works. He is indeed a workaholic.

He turned off the television and got back to his swivel chair. He leaned his back in the chair and cranked his neck hard over to see the sky from my office window, delft-blue and cloudless and so bright it looked solid. "So, that's what she meant by turning the table?"His finger played with a ballpen while staring at the sky. "Unbelievable, she really resorted to that lie? She literally destroys Julia. What a madwoman." He swiveled back as he straightened the stuff on his desk, making sure everything was square and orderly spaced. There isn't much: a phone, a legal-sized lined yellow pad, a translucent Bic pen with a black top, and a pile of documents to review. He is a little overloaded right

On his way back to the Melbourne Building, his mother kept on bugging him. He had no choice but to answer her. "Siri, answer the phone call." He commanded the apple feature to answer the phone because his hands were occupied by the driving wheel and brake. "Where are you, my baby boy?" "Mom, I'm driving. Do not distract me!" "Are you still with Cali?" "Hell no, are we supposed to stick together? I had shared enough toxic air with that woman. I need to have me-time."Why

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.

"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
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#119: I wish I had never met you.
"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

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.”
