117: He's a Bad News
"My name isn't something relevant. Just don't mind it and enjoy my company."
He laughed a bit. "If you don't have a name, how should I call you, then?"
"Names aren't important in one night interactions, Markus."
"How sure are you that it's just a one night interaction? If Bryce brought you here, that means we have common acquiantances. It's possible we'll meet again."
"I'm not close to Bryce. I was just paid to be a showgirl. It's just work."
Of course, where else would I run but to lie!
"How much was your night, then?"
I was not silent in shock, insult and shame. I've encountered so many rude men who also have the looks and money, but not as rude and arrogant as him.
My cheeks, neck and chest became hot from the irritation. The elder Mongrecos are decent and honorable people, as far as I know them. Maddy grew up well. Revo is also playful but not rude. Sage is fine too. I don't know how they have a relative so rude.

Due to the relentless curiosity, Nina was finally forced to speak. I think it's better for her to share it than let her thoughts pile up inside."My supposed engagement won't happen."Oh. I remember. There was a rumor about a possible merging of their family and the Mongrecos through marraige. Even without an official declaration, it is prevalent among families. I just don't know who Mongreco will marry."Why?"Nina's tears rolled down her cheeks.For some, fixed marriage is too primitive and morally inappropriate. But many families still work then. The richest of the richest. It's practical since it's for business' longevity. But it is also possible that you will like the person who will marry you even if you do not know each other very well.I thought if it's fixed marriage, the relationship lacks emotional attachments. But now, I realize that such a set up isn't too bad because it's possible to like each other in the end. Nina wouldn't cr

“There’s still water,” he said I didn’t get. He chuckled and his finger touched my cheek."Hey, Jake! What's that?"I almost jumped at Markus ’shout. I glanced at him, disturbed by his voice. But I was surprised when I caught him staring at me, eyebrows raised."Just talking! I'm harmless, dude!" even Jake.I looked back at Baron and sipped the cocktail. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe he wasn't looking at me but at Maddy. Because why would he look at me, right?"Actually, I added you on facebook. But until now you haven't accepted," Baron continued the conversation."Ah. I can't check my friend requests so that's why. But I'll check it later."Just like that, we talked more. Baron was fun to talk with. I found out that the course he finished was related to the arts so the conversation revolved around that. Fine Arts is what I'll take.Daddy wants me to pursue business, because in the end I will inherit o

The first courses and drinks were served. I was expecting that we'll talk about family issues that night, but since Tita Glesilda was there, if not the business then the campaign is in question."Actually, Leandra wants him to lead the campaign there in Antique this summer.""Really?" Tita Glesilda looked at me."Yes, Glesilda. She's that passionate to help her father's campaign," Mama said proudly."That's good! If so, where will she stay in Antique during that time?""We have a mansion in San Ardiente. She can stay there with the campaign staffs.""But who will take care of them there? Do you have househelps there?""Ah. Right! We haven't been there since Mama died so only the caretaker was left. But ... I think we could just send househelps ...""Oh, that's too hassle, Ramona! How about this ... I'll house them in our mansion in Vida Riqueza?"Lucius and I looked at each other. He raised an brow and smirk."Are

"She offered me and my father's campaign team to stay here for the campaign. She promised a comfortable place and good accommodation. Is that what you're saying?""She didn't promise anything else?" His lips stretched in doubt. The look is stinging."What else would she promise?""Like marrying me?"There was a ghost of smile on his lips."She brought you here. She won't do that just to help. It's obvious that she's pairing us."I grinned and shook, laughing. I never thought he could humor me that way.Her eyes narrowed as if wondering why I was reacting that way."Why? You're afraid to be tied up?" I taunted."So you know Mama has such a plan? You want to marry me?"This brute! Very arrogant too really. Is he thinking that every woman in the world is dying to marry him? Ridiculous."Don't worry. I'm sure your Mama has no plans to marry us. And I don't want to marry you as well."Her smile faded. For

"Chane Estrella?"I smiled at the acquaintances. They were shocked that I came."Chane! You're back! When else?""Just hours ago," I replied and looked around. It's just that I couldn't find Daddy because there were other acquaintances to greet him."Hello, hija! Are you here to accompany your Daddy?"I smiled at the old woman. Family friend so I let go."Yes. Actually, my Mommy should be with her now. But something urgent came, so I'm here on her stead.""Oh! But I thought ..." she trailed off and laughed a bit.The malicious glint in her eyes told me what she's thinking. I plastic smiled and passed him. Supposedly friendly, but really just want to gossip.The whispers of the envy did not escape me, the ones who can never reach my level, so the envy just goes through the motions. I continue walking without looking at them, unbothered by whatever they're talking about behind my back.An actor greeted me. I would h

"What ?! You're just suddenly popping up there! What are you? Ghost?"His brow raised."How about you? Why are you standing there in the middle? You're even modeling in the car park?"This idiot!"What do you care? Mind your own business!" once turn away from him and walk away.Though, it's not long when I heard his voice again. He followed me."Where are you going, Chanelle? You've already passed your car."I closed my eyes tightly, not looking back at him."I know! I won't use that car. Froilan already has the key so how can I use it?""And what car are you in?""Cinderella's carraige?" my sarcastic answer."Very funny, Chane.""Oh, I'm glad I humored you!"A tug on the wrist stopped me. In shock I even released the clutch. I glared at Euan. If I could just blow out the fire, he would have been cooked for a long time."You're being dragged! You've been here before, ah? What the hell i

I was a little terrified when we looked at each other. I immediately turned to Mommy."Mom, he looks unpleasant. He's too thin, pale and has very dark eyes. He looks like the nerd and malnourished version of Dracula–""Chane!"I stopped and bit my lower lip."He's a very kind boy. He's poor and has no relatives. He has nowhere to go. Can't we help him a bit?""Then, bring him to the orphanage?"Mommy greeted me."We're not planning to adopt him, okay? We'll just help him a bit. You'll remain our only baby, Chanelle," she assured me and kissed my forehead.I pouted. I looked at the boy again and when I saw that he was also looking at me, I hid a little from Mommy. I'll remind Daddy later to double the locks on my door. Maybe later it's Dracula's slave and he's planning to suck my blood at night.With another person living in our house, it was really hard to adjust at first. I got used to just the three of us Mommy s
The Demoness Alpha 126: Love in Hatred
Of course! Why would I prioritize anything else if I knew my family was falling apart? I would have booked the earliest flight the moment I heard the news."Of course, I also don't want to ruin a special event in your life. Especially since you announced you had a big endorsement offer in the States."I sighed. Coming back to Philippines was supposed to be just a short vacation. And even before going home, I decided to accept the offer. While I was studying my film degree, I also accepted some modeling jobs and catwalks.At first, I only accepted the offer because I was bored and wanted to try. Eventually, I realized it's fun and I was actually good at it. So I started accepting offers one after another. My parents didn't have problem with it.Mommy even offered to help me land in good offers, since she was also a model before, and many acquaintances. But I declined because it seemed unfair to others who eeffort to go to go-sees. I don't want to be chosen
