MARIGOLD: Mother sela immediately handed me a glass of water. I looked at Mr. Atanante, he didn't have any reaction aside from being daze. Soon I saw his lips lifted. I turned at Mother sela. "U-um... mother sela, w-we're not–" "I think you have a point... I will consider it." Mr. Atanante cut in, and he continued his food. But why does it seems, his mood suddenly improve? there was also a trace of a smile on his lips. Won't he at least correct what mother Sela said to us?I just feigned ignorance and turned my head to eat. It looks like I'm the only one being awkward here, huh. After the meals, I bid goodbye to mother sela. She hugged and kissed me on my cheeks. She seems to like me very much and so do I."When will you come back? I'll cook you some of my specialties next time.... I have a reques, I hope you'll be more patient with sir chardon. He's actually a nice boy though he look a little grumpy on the outside, but he's-"Mother Sela stopped when Mr. Atanante cleared hi
MARIGOLD: Time seemed to stopped at that moment. I know I should push him away and stop him but I felt I couldn't move as he continues to dominate my lips violently.Everything is new to me and I felt as I discovered new things. This is my first experienced this unique sensation that Mr. Atanante gave me, so I don't know if I should be mad or not. I don't even know how I should feel. But I woke up from what seemed to be my hallucination when he bit my lip, causing me to moan in pain. "Ou–!!!" I didn't finish uttering those words when he suddenly grabbed my mouth with his. He seems like a starving predator while devouring me completely. When I was about to push him, he suddenly grabbed me waist and deepen his kiss.My eyes widened when I felt something went inside my mouth! It moves around mischievously as if it wants to reach and touch every nook inside. I was confused and a little frightened at the same time..... This is wrong. I should have stopped him earlier.Panicked-st
"Come with me. I need to talk some sense with you." Marigold felt a bad premonition specially since she know that this old woman does'nt like her. She followed Mrs. Fontabella at the class restaurant that the woman always visited, she's been known there by the staff. "Good afternoon Mrs. Fontabella." the guard greeted as he open the door for them. Until they sat down, Marigold still lowered her head. She couldnt withstand the old woman looks on her, she felt so small inside. Mrs. Fontabella glimpse on Marigold, she's snorted before pushing the menu on her. "Order anything you want, you don't be shy." That's when Marigold move, she took the menu and chose the simplest food she could recognized. She couldn't feel the enjoyment of choosing the restaurant's delicacies as she felt like she's stepping on the number. Marigold ordered only one menu while Mrs. Fontabella ordered three. She politely declined the urge of the old woman to order more. Marigold casted an occasional glance a
"G-girlfriend?!!" Adelaida, the middle-aged woman reacted in exaggeration.Sela covered her ears in a shrill voice of the woman. She couldn't imagine that despite from her class demeanor and appearance, she would act like this. "Yes ma'am, Marigold is Mr. Atanante's girlfriend!" She repeated that made Marigold panic. She wanted to stop her."And maybe, it won't take long before Marigold become this villa's mistress. I tell you this in advance so that you won't wrong her next time." Sela couldn't hide her irritation at the two while revealing her thoughts.Marisol went pale. She bowed her head while pulling her dress uneasily."Um.... I forgot, we.... We have an appointment this early, maybe... Maybe we will visit next time..... Bye." Then Adelaide pulled her daughter...Arriving their home, Marisol was in daze while absorbing the news they received at Chardon's house.

"Woah! it feels good and kinda refreshing! It's been a long time since I box with hard and thick faces fellas!" Paul said as he returned to Chardon's side, but was surprised to see the woman climbing behind his friend.Thinking it was an enemy, Chardon was about to throw the woman on the floor when Nick and Paul pulled him away."Man, don't! It's a woman!" The two shouted.Chardon was stunned and loosened the woman's grip on his neck. Nick and Paul came and took the girl away.Almost all of her hair was on the girl's face so Nick remove it to looked who the woman was. "Oh... a beauty!" Nick exclaimed when he saw her face.But chardon was frowned when he saw who it was. "You?" He turned around and was about to return to Marigold, when the woman suddenly hugged him on his back.

Marigold couldn't sleep that night despite of the comfortable and cool room she was occupied. She hasn't even gotten over about what she saw with the two of them at the club, and now she just saw them together and even here at the hotel she was staying at. Marigold didn't know if the two doing it deliberately as they checked in close to her room.She remembered Chardon's consideration and care for her in the past few days as if they had just returned to the way they were when the man said he liked her. Although she didn't admit it, and even though she told Jonas that everything was over with them; the truth is, she raise her hope to the man again. Although she was confused by the man's kindness and care, the truth was that, her heart was secretly happy.But due to what she had witnessed on today's incident at the club and the two checking-in at the same hotel, her hope along with her heart collapse again. Marigold was lying on the soft bed, she didn't notice the tears falling from th
Marigold halted from crying when she heard Mr. Javier outside the door. She panicked and pressed herself further into the sofa corner. 'What should i do?! Mr. Javier shouldn't see me like this!'' she was alarmed when Chardon suddenly approached her. She quickly covered herself and face. "Don't come any closer!"Until she felt something cover her head. When she took it off, she saw that it was chardon's coat. The man was walking away, heading to the door. Halfway, he stopped and slightly turned to her. "Don't go out, stay here first." Mr. Javier continued knocking when the door suddenly pulled opened."Sir! Are you all right? I think I heard something going on inside your office. There seems to be a commotion inside, what's happened?" Mr. Javier said while trying to peek inside, but chardon blocked his sight "It's just your imagination.... I'll go out first. While I'm gone, don't come into my office."Mr. Javier stunned at his boss last words. What could be the reason why he wouldn'
Marigold covered her eyes as she was dazzled by the relatively high sunlight through the window. She turned to the wall to avoid it. After a while, she got up frantically. She suddenly remembered the exchange of gunshots at the Airport and she covered her ears.But when she noticed the calm and tranquil surroundings, she was surprised. When she turned around, she then noticed that she was in a room. Her eyes widened when she saw where she was, because...... this was her room in Antique. 'W-what's happening? Am I in Antique?' Marigold got off the bed and looked around. She's very happy after confirming that this is indeed her room. She quickly went out to find her mother.When she didn't saw her in the kitchen and living room, she went outside. She was dazzled when the door opened, so she covered her eyes first while adjusting. The girl didn't even notice that she wasn't wearing glasses at that time.After a while she walk towards the backyard. Marigold saw her mother in the distance
At that time, the hall of the venue was packed of people. Aside from the guest, both of the two company's employees are also present that's why they almost exchange their faces while greeting each other."Looks the engagement are very lively today! I never thought it to be like this crow–hey!""S-sorry.... sorry..." Marigold said in apologized when she accidentally run into a socialite-looking woman. The woman was about to scold her when Marigold passed her right away Marigold went to the VIP suites floor. But first, she asked for manager's help to checked which suite Chardon was in, but when she went to his suite, the man wasn't there that's why she thought to look for him in the hall. 'Where is he? I couldn't even find Ms. fontabella, are they together now?' she suddenly stopped on her tracks at the thought of this. 'Wait, what if, they're indeed together at this time?' she felt perplexity and this made her wanted to see Chardon even more. She scanned the crowd who chattered hap
"Mr. Grove, what do you mean by this? With so many requests you can choose, why is that one?" Thomas commented abruptly."This is between the C.A Ceo and I, so I think you shouldn't interfere with us, am I right Mr McMahon?""But marigold is a executive secretary of the Ceo, what do you mean by kicking her out of the company? Don't you ever think that only our CEO has the right to remove her or maybe you think that because we need something from you, so you are free to make a decision or even make outrageous demand from us?" Jonas said as he arrives with his uncle Mr. Villaflores."Sorry, we're late." The COO, Mr. Villaflores apologized."I don't think I can grant your request Mr. Grove...... Now, let's start the meeting." Chardon declared as he ignored the foreigner's demand.Marigold breathe a sighed in relief, but when she's about to exit the room to get some cup of coffee, he saw Mr. Grove look as if he's throwing a dagger on her. She hurriedly came out. 'It seems, this ma
The next day, Marigold turned to look at the female employees who gossip nonstop early in the morning. She thought. 'Could it be they talked about both of the Ceo's engagement?' She suddenly felt sad, she sighed and set aside the negative emotions she felt. When she got inside the elevator, a man came running chasing the elevator door before it's completely shut. "Marigold, 'morning" the man greeted."Good morning, Jonas." Marigold greeted back.After he pressed the button, Jonas took a glance at the girl beside him. He suddenly recalled his conversation with his cousin last night:"I freed marigold for good, I sent her the contracts she signed. Isn't that what you wanted to get her out of the company–""Really?!" Jonas butt in and asked excitedly. "That's good, alas! The liquidated damage you're asking her is too much, it's not as if she's your business part– wait..... What have you done again?"Chardon came closer. "Our fight is over, because I have given up...... Take a good
"Sir, do you know this woman?" A cop asked as he saw the man's reactions.Chardon suddenly covered his mouth, his stomach seems to turned upside down and he felt like puking. He signaled the search and rescue officer to put back the cover. The cops looked at him intently while waiting for his response.When he finally calm down: "No, it's not her." He said to himself. 'Fortunately.... fortunately, it's not her.' He turned to the cop next to him. "Why is it swollen like that?"The cop answered. "This woman reported to be lost for almost a week, and because she's probably sunken in the water over those days, she inflated like that.In just one look, Chardon already knows that this woman isn't Marigold, not because of her identified appearance but because–that what his heart says. He let out a relieving sighed. It seems as if a thorn had been pulled out of his chest and his disturb and restless heart finally calmed down. He immediately left that place and proceed to his trip.The n
Marigold hurriedly went inside Marisol's room, but she was stunned when she saw the alive Marisol sitting on the bed while Adelaida was hugging her. Marisol caressed her mother's back while she's crying."Mom, stop crying. Can't you see that I'm fine. You heard what the doctor says right? My wound is not severe and maybe, I can even discharge today.""But... but... What if the shot was more fatal? You shouldn't took the bullet for that scumbag, didn't I told you and your father before, that uncle of yours is plague!" Adelaida blurted out as she's continues to cry.Marisol let out a sighed until she noticed marigold at the door. "Marigold?"Adelaida turned to them, when she saw the girl, she frowned. "What are you doing here?""Mom..." Marisol stopped her."Maybe you wanted to check if Marisol was really dying so that you can approach chardon freely? Maybe you're too happy when you saw my daughter was being shot, am I right?" Adelaida rant angrily.Marisol rubbed her forehead. "Mom!
The old man's hand slowly slip upwards the girl's leg, while she seems to be in a deep sleep. He grabbed her long skirt and he felt a little irritated. 'This thing disturbs my fun. This must be remove.' But before he could do something, a sudden knock on the door stopped him. The old man snorted in annoyance as his good time disturbed, but he still gave the person a permission to enter."Boss, we received a tip just now..... Colonel Matias called, he said, a businessman name chardon atantante reported about you to them."The old man was stunned at first before he burst of guffawed. His face turned crimson until his neck but still, he hasn't stop. This made his henchman wondered. Shouldn't his boss show some worries as the other party reported them, but why he's laughing happily instead? At that moment, they didn't notice the slight movement of the girl on the floor."It's funny..... Very funny! Hahaha!" The old man continues his hearty laughs. "He never know... He didn't really k
It's already dark outside when chardon's meeting with the executives finally over. "Tell Jonas to come to my office." He said to his assistant as he looked down on his rolex."Yes, sir." Mr. Javier answered and he's making his way back to his own office.Chardon sat down on his swivel chair and picked up a files. After a while, he stopped as he suddenly thought of something, then he dug out his phone. While in the meeting, he thought of giving Marigold a call to know if she's already checked-in. Before Jonas and Marigold left, he told his cousin to have the girl check-in on his own hotel and don't let her go home alone.Because Marigold told him about Alfonso's plan against him, he couldn't stay calm and compose anymore, he's not worried for himself but for the girl since the danger is just around the corner as long as Alfonso's there. He was worried the she might get implicate.He looked on his phone. It's been a while since he called Marigold. He thought, will she answer? Whe
Marigold was about to scream when one of the man spoke abruptly: "Miss, don't be scared, we mean no harm and we won't do anything to you. Our boss just wanted to speak to you."Marigold peeked inside the car, she do her best to see and to recognize whoever inside might be, but as the car was dark tainted she couldn't even say whether there is really someone inside."Miss..." One of the men opened the door and gestured her to get in.The girl glance at the goons-looking men then she looked around. There's a passersby but they seem to be unaware that she might kidnap today. She sighed and carefully get inside."We see again... miss secretary." Alfonso greeted. He chuckled. "Are you scared of me? Relax..... I just wanted to have a good chat with you. You know that I'm a known figure in the business circle and I have a reputation, that's why I won't do any wicked things"."B-but..... Isn't your reputation is now ruined?" Marigold asked innocently.Alfonso clenched his jaw and fist but h
Despite the happy events in the hall of A.C Prominent hotel, many people was seen on the floor. After picking up their selves, they're angrily complaining and asked around what had happened. And that's when they saw Alfonso who has being dragged down by the two security guards towards the exit of the hall, followed by Marisol who kept on bowing and apologizing to the guest. She was overly embarassed and she's really losing her face this time. She couldn't imagine the aftermath of this incident when this night was over.Marisol stopped as she's passed the man who seemed to be has something on his arms. When she scrutinized him, she noticed that the man has a girl on his arms. She wondered, what are these two doing hugging each other with the mess happened? She bit her lips, she couldn't help to feel jealous. All the love and care this man given to the girl, she hasn't experience of them yet.As for the reason why the man still hugged the girl in his arm and why he didn't l
