They arrived at the Shinzige building. "You may leave now. I will call you again once I'm done with my business," says Perci to the pilot.
The helicopter started to ascend back to the sky. The air is strong enough to ruin Perci's brushed-up hair, while his tuxedo left a few folded lines due to the whipping of the air.
"Where's your CEO?" Perci asked while entering the main office for Shinzige's CEO.
"He left a few minutes ago, but he'll be back soon. He told me to guide you on our new chairman. He will be the one to assist you while our CEO is gone," says the secretary of Shinzige.
When they entered the new chairma
Calix went to P-20 to bring a comforter for Cali. They will spend the day in Laurence's room. He carefully opened the door. He smiled when he saw Cali sleeping beside Laurence. She was holding Laurence's finger. "Aren't they lovely?"Remedios asked. "Indeed. I wish Cali would realize how lucky she is to be surrounded by people who loved her not as Caliloree Xy but as Arevalo," Calix replied as he handed the comforter to Remedios. He brought Cali's favorite red comforter, a thick, quilted, fluffy blanket that is used to keep her warm. It is usually filled with synthetic fiber filler which is quilted or stitched to secure the filling and keep it evenly distributed. "Laurence had sacrificed his time waiting for Cali to
She rolled over a soft loft bed, and she thought that she was dreaming. Laurence hospital is not this soft. She opened the other half of her eyes. she didn't mind the different arrangement of her surroundings at first, but her senses came back. She squinted both of her eyes. She blinked thrice and uttered, "This is not a dream!"She even slapped her cheeks, "This is absolutely not a dream!" She stood up and asked herself, "Where the hell am I?"She glanced at her bag to find her phone. "Stupid! Didn't you let it drain?!" her mind scolded her. She immediately took her charger and plugged in her phone. She had to wait at least five minutes to turn on her phone.
Ceci thought that she came too soon to visit, perhaps the two were still asleep. However, she could not wait any longer, or else she’ll freeze outside while waiting. She took her phone and pressed her son’s contact, it rang once then a manly voice replied on the other line. "Who's this?" he answered the phone while his eyes were still closed. "I'm waiting outside. Open the door," says Ceci. He removed the phone from his ear and found that it was his mom. He stood up and went to the door. "Mom? Why are you here early in the morning?" he asked and guided her inside. "I brought these files from your office
Three days had passed since Ceci's visited them. He heard that they are busy with the new scouted talents. Well, it's a piece of good news for both of them. "Omg! Cali, why are you still sleeping?" He threw a bolster on her face, and shouted, "Wake up!" "Earthquake!" Cali woke up and thought that her world was shaking. "Take a bath now. Have you forgotten that today is the first filming of the first two chapters?" Perci pulled her from the bed. "Omg!"She took the bathrobe and a pair of shorts and sleeveless since she'll change her clothes later at the set. She immediat
Cali woke up due to the cold air enveloping her. She stood up and turned off the aircon. The house is silent since Perci flew back to the Philippines last night for a crucial meeting with the board of directors and will be back this morning.She lost her sleepy feeling, and it's only three in the morning. She clicked the T*kT*k and went on live video. It was only thirty minutes, yet her views accumulated to three thousand."Hello, everyone!"says Cali while broadcasting herself. She read the comment from one of her viewers, it says:Miss. Cali, we haven't seen you for two months. Are you retiring from the showbiz industry? Was it because of what happened between you and Julia? She chuckled first before responding,"For those who are asking if I am retiring, the answer is
**** Another threat **** Perci immediately rushed to Cali. Luckily, he grabbed her waist and saved her. He tapped her cheek, yet there was no response from her. He called 995 or the Singapore hotline service for fire and ambulance. The ambulance came like a thunderbolt, and they rushed her to the nearest hospital. Another problem after one other problem drives him crazy. It makes him want to pass out too. Perci is still exhausted and has a travel lag, plus the fact, he is deprived of sleep. He waited for the doctor to report about Cali’s situation. It took almost an hour before the result handed to him, “You should watch was she eating,”says the doctor before they could get inside the room. Cali did not know that Perci and the doctor were having a conversation outside.
Cali woke up early to jog for the first time. She thought that she should get fit again because she gained three kilos within a span of a short time. She needs to burn down calories because a celebrity needs to have perfect curves to avoid bashers and body shamers, especially in her hometown. Most Filipino have toxic attributes when it comes to biases. Perci heard her footsteps as she descended the stairs. He stood up and called Cali, "Where do you think you are going?"He asked. "Hmmm...jogging?"she replied. She is standing on the 4th level of the staircase. She had to stop because Perci distracted her. "With whom?"he asked. He was leaning on the fiberglass divid
She went outside the penthouse. She stood up and stared at the jaw-dropping scenery from her distance. She can see the skyscrapers and city lights, the roads, and other parts of Singapore. It feels like she's seeing the entire city. The cold winds send chills to her body. The cold blow of air smells like Christmas to her. Cali dialed Remedios' number using her roaming contact number. "Good morning, Auntie."She greeted Laurence's mother. "You barely call. Are you really busy with the film? or is something more than that?" "Trust me, manager. It's a pure business. You know how much I love your son,"she replied, then heaved a d
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?. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥
"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
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
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.”
