I visited Aunt Alandra's mansion the following week. I only talked to Tita because Georgia was too busy. She's in her last year in law school. No doubt why she's very busy with her studies.
I am a licensed accountant. I just didn’t use what I learned there because I focused on the career. Tita didn't go against my plans and all. He advises me but does not interfere with my decisions.
She respects my decisions so she supported me when I said I would be excluded. That was two years ago. I was also in their house for four years. And I've been depending on them financially when I wasn't making money on gigs and modeling.
"It's good that you visited, hija! I'm so bored every time I'm in the house!" madramang said Tita accompanied by elegant laughter. She's on her satin robe with a champagne flute in her hand.
He gestured to me on the couch. She also called a servant to get me some snacks.
"Georgia is in her room, as usual, studying! She's so hard
The next month, I'm busy with a new single. That’s what I focused on so I didn’t accept offers first. The music video shoots were held in Palawan. We stayed there with the production team for three days. But eventually I decided to extend.Luke wanted to stay with me in the resort. But I said he would be in Manila first. I would have asked Rita to go with him but he strictly told Rita not to go home and go with me. I told him that I'm fine with only my bodyguards and I can attend on my needs. But he was persistent.I don't know why Rita follows Luke even more even though I'm the one who pays her."Ma'am, are you going to have lunch at a restaurant? At the seaside or in the west? But people might just beat you up when someone knows you. We can also just bring your food up.""Let's eat downstairs, Rita. I'll cover myself so as not to be noticed. There are only a few guests now and most of them are tourists. I bet the tourists won't even recogniz
They ordered another set of drinks. I, on the other hand, drank slowly while the three of them were all drunk. I'm sure they will end up sleeping at my condo tonight. I just let it go because I wouldn't have a problem if they got drunk. I have my driver and bodyguards to help me with them. No worries."Your chill ah! You drink too, hey!" said Rose, her face flushed. Rita and Luke were laughing about their topic. The three of them are tipsy. I also think that Rita will get drunk soon."Let's Dance!" Rose pulled me upright so I could almost drop the glass. I sat down again. But she just pulled me up again, laughing.This time, I could no longer appeal because he pulled me hard onto the dancefloor. I just handed the glass to a waiter because Rose wouldn’t let me go. I think it would be okay because the light on the dancefloor is dim. People here are from the high society so they would care less if they will recognize me. Also, many artists and models come her
I stared at my goldfish in the aquarium for a long time. I can't sleep so I just decided to drink something and watch my pets here. Luke won't be home tonight because he's going to see his grandmother. That's why I'm alone in the condo. Maybe one of the reasons I can't sleep.Aside from that reason, I also think about the crowd. Last night didn't end well. Fortunately, they were drunk Luke so I had no trouble getting them out of the club. I have my bodyguards to do that.Sometimes, I can't help but think about why I am expressing such wrath to Sage. He was out of what happened that night. But everytime I see him, he reminds me of that night. I don't know. That’s the first thing I think of when I see him. Then, anger will follow.Maybe, it was because of him I called that night. I was too nervous to even think about calling the police. I was driven by my instinct. I could no longer think clearly. However, it was wrong to call him. It was very wrong to seek
I stayed silent the whole time we're on the air. I just ignored Luke's curious eyes.From the air, I observed the entirety of said beach resort. It's amazing hotel, casitas and magnificent coast told me that it's, indeed, an exclusive resort. I also remembered Tita Alandra's remark about this place. I realized he was right. This a nice choice of place for vacations and events.When the chopper landed at the hotel helipad, we were greeted by staffs and the general manager. The smiles of the staffs as they looked at me were almost unforgivable. The middle-aged manager stepped closer with the staffs lining behind her."Welcome to Club El Fuego, Miss Kaia. We know you're coming today so we're here to assist you.""Thank you ...""Mary, take Miss Kaia's belongings and bring them to her suite," she commanded which I immediately stopped."No!" They were stunned. "I mean, don't bother. My bodyguards will take care of those."I told Luke that
Recognizing the person who just arrived, my body froze and my heart leaped in shock and frustration.I could feel the gradual stiffness of my legs as I watched Sage slowly approach the long table. It's like you're stuck on the floor that I can't move.He shook his wrist so that his rolex will fall on the right place. His every precise step creates a clicking sound in the fine marbled floor. His eyes were rayless. With his dark suit, unreadable eyes and authorative air, he looked formal and vicious.Luke and Rita mumbled something while my eyes were just fixed on the man in front. I cursed in my mind when I realized why he is here!He owns the resort!I sighed."Mr. Mongreco!" Luke exclaimed. He even stood up to greet it.Luke glared at me, gesturing me to stand up too. But I ignored that and turned to Sage without emotion. He was looking at me, I couldn't read what was on his mind.I want to just walk out from here. I don't wan
"Oh my goodness! I can't believe you! Mr. Mongreco showed hospitality to us after this? I'm the one who said everything is okay with you! You're embarrassing me, Kaia!""I didn't. I politely refused, Luke. Don't push me anymore because I won't let you do what you want.""But–""Luke, please! I said, no! I won't take back my words. The meeting is over. I already declined. This argument is useless.""K, what's the problem?" This time, his voice was calm.I was tired of sighing. I know I'm being insensitive. I know I'm being unreasonable. But who can blame me? I was just hurt."My mind just changed, Luke. I can't do the ad campaign. I'd rather just focus on my upcoming project ..." I trailed off, marking my sentence with a deep sigh.Luke frowned and scrambled to sit up in bed."Now, what does it look like I'm going to present to Mr. Mongreco? It's gone!""Let him think what he wants to think. I have every right to re
I angrily turned off the cellphone when I received a call from the producer who promised me there on a project. He said that he would no longer take me as the singer for the film. He didn't tell me the exact reason. But I’m sure it’s because of the issue!All day, I was just in the suite. Luke left for Manila at two o'clock. He strictly instructed Rita not to let me go out alone because someone might recognize me outside.The news of Zeus' death right now is all over the Philippines. And since Lyka points to me as the reason for that, I am the one most blamed.I am the talk of the town now, the villain in the eyes of many. I have received different types of criticism on social media. Some were creating memes with my face. Some were even threatening me to be really below the belt.I am not guilty. I'll never be.That was my latest tweet in twitter. But the people didn't believe it. I received many hate comments. I even saw the trending p
I texted a bodyguard and was told where I was. A few moments later, they arrived. I was reprimanded for a while for their sudden disappearance. Their reason? He took a shower for a while. They sewed at the same time, right? I didn't buy the alibi but I don't have a choice but to let it pass.Sage was left on the patio of the casita and watched us leave. I didn't look back and walked fastly.I don't know if what he did earlier was a true act of generosity or he only wanted to change my mind about the ad campaign. But does he still need me there? With my stained name, I don't think I'll be an effective endorser at this point. As long as the issue doesn't subside I'm sure it will only take criticism. I can't risk the resort's credibility. One more thing, I don’t want him to be a client!"Oh, ma'am! Where are you from? Sir Luke called! I slipped and said I wasn't with you so that's why, I'm so angry!" said Rita when I
