TCLM#93: Gossips.
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Perci felt insecure when the thought of Laurence crossed his mind. He is scared that Cali would change her mind if her first love would wake up. He knew that he should trust Cali, but he could not stop overthinking.
He was distracted when the cabin crew announced that the plane was departing. A Chinese crew welcomed him and guided Perci to the hotel where a business meeting will happen.
He texted Cali that he had arrived in Hongkong. Perci is too busy to call his wife. The Hong Kong investor is one of the crucial business partners, thus he had focused on reading the new agreement.
In the afternoon, he started meeting the board of Hongkong trustees. The team is presenting their proposal to launch an HK centre that would cater to Filipino-Chinese pop culture.

Cali woke up with her naked body wrapped in a blanket. She was surprised when the door opened, then Perree jumped into the bed. "Perree, come here. Your mom needs to go to the shower," says Perci while holding the doorknob. "What time is it?"Cali asked with sleepy eyes. "10 am. You don't have commitment today, right?" "I have a commercial shoot for Jelai's wedding ring and jewelry." "You have not told me about that,"says Perci. "How am I supposed to tell it to you..." She stopped upon realizing what h

"Let's go home for now," says Cali. She thought that the younger generation must have forgotten their manners. That rascal belittled her by not showing up at the shooting, and now he is spreading fake news to destroy her image. "Don't worry, I'll handle this."He held Cali's hand. He knew that Cali is not the type of woman who needs help. She could destroy someone if she wanted to, but he wanted to help her."You may go home. I will drive her home,"he added. Laurence looked down on the driving wheel. "Take good care of her." He has the look of someone in pain and anguish at the same time. Seeing her with another is torturing him. But, being close to her will increa
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#96: Someone's trying to destroy the image.
Cali woke up by a hand squeezing boobs. "What the hell is doing? What a pervert. He is sleeping, yet his hands are squeezing mine,"she murmured while staring at her husband. She thought that if Perci had not recovered from his trauma and still assume that he is gay. Then, his face is a waste of every woman's fantasy. "This face must have seduced me. I only signed for a Lavender marriage, but I ended up doing a wife's duty,"she murmured. The more she stares at him, the more she is drawn to him. She thought that God had given her everything, and it scares her because life is always not good. Sooner or later, obstacles might knock them out. Life is yin and yang; there is no such thing as forever bliss. "I ho
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#97: Cali is in trouble.
Everyone at the round table was silent as Perci stared at them with glaring eyes. His secretary came and reported the progress of his order to control the situation; luckily his wife is sharp-witted. The issue about him being biased had somehow been erased when he was asked to publicize that Cali's material and even her role as the main lead in the drama had been replaced by the new actress. Ayesha is the new bet of the teen population. She is the one who was reported as being sold and molested by the Melbourne company, which is obviously not true. Perci had talked to her earlier, and she was fiercer than he thought. Her action and bold statement to blackmail remind him of how cunning his wife was before. She is just another star who wants to climb up. [FLASHBACK]
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#98: Ayesha, the sly fox.
Ayesha had a bruise on her ankle because of her stupid stunt to destroy Cali's image. She used to look at her with inspired eyes. However, things changed with a simple misunderstanding. [FLASHBACK] She was a trainee five years ago when Cali arrived at the training room. It was her first time seeing the actress in person. Cali went to the next room. Ayesha wanted to talk to her, but Cali ignored her and simply left after arguing with one of the actress’s name Alona. Cali was so furious that she didn't know the door was slightly opened. Ayesha heard her and thought that she was just a bully. That argument had not aired because no one actually exposed it. "How dare you sabotage my dress? You think I am a fool for not noticing it." Cali raised her ha

"So, what do you want to talk about, Laurence?"says Perci as he closed the door. "Let's talk in private." "Alright.” "What are you guys talking about that you can't even discuss here?"says Cali. “Wife, you stay here." "B-but..." "It's something you should not concern yourself with. I'll talk to you later. Do not go outside since there are few reporters out there." "I understand. Come home as soon as possible."She does not want to nag him. She trusted Perci's decision, but what bothers her is the thing Laurence would like to discuss. Perci kissed he

"I am handing over this. I suppose you know the meaning of this."Laurence placed the SanDisk card on the coffee table. "Blow it off before she throws another tantrum on social media," he added. Laurence walked past Perci and simply whispered. "I won't go easy on you." Perci smirked in response."We'll send you off, then." When Laurence left, Cali played the footage. It's a good shot to prove her innocence. She did not push Ayesha, it is clear that the latter is playing a dirty tactic. "Should we upload it then?"she asked.

"Rise and shine, my dear Cali. You need to eat breakfast and take your medicine." "T-thank you, Laurence."She smiled at the man who her eyes first saw when she had an accident. "Do you want to go strolling today? But wouldn't you get exhausted?"Laurence placed his hand below his chin as if he was thinking of a better solution. "Well, they still have three months before going out. I think it's fine to walk around. Besides, it is a form of exercise. I heard pregnant women should exercise before their labor." "Yeah, that is true. Anyway, do you want me to feed you?" "I can do it." "I'll be back. I will clean the kitchen first."

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#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
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 CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#118: Secretly watching her.
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
The CEO's Lavender Marriage TCLM#117: Silently loving her.
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.”
