75: Maybe Someday
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I 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
The Demoness Alpha 78: Back to El Fuego
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
The Demoness Alpha 79: Meeting Him Again
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.

The Demoness Alpha 83: Taste of Pain
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.

I almost shivered when his hand touched my waist. Every flick of his tongue was full of ardor. I was so close to his shoulder when he lifted me off the bed. Crouching in front of me like a dominant hunter ready to end his long famine, he pulled my nape aggressively as he gave me an alluvion of intoxicating kisses. A strange heat flared up in my body. His hand skillfully found the zipper of my dress and maneuvered it, while his hot kisses were traveling down to my jaw. I flinched at the caress of his hand on my back. My body was shaking and it feels like I couldn't hold on to my precious sanity any longer. My inhibitions and rationality were all thrown out of the window, leaving my mind empty. With my kind of lifestyle, I could have easily gave in to my past boyfriends who asked me for it. I’m not ready yet, that’s what I always say. But the truth is, I was searching for the man who could make me feel like this. I can’t give that to past boyfriends because I c

Holding my books, my props rather, I went in, and the chatterings were silenced.It wasn't long though, when I heard soft murmurs."Grace? So she's the one who will help Mrs. Rellis present the topic? Pero first year lang siya. Don't you think that's a bit off?" the girl on the third row whispered to her seatmate."Ah. It's a good thing I didn't continue to be absent. I wouldn't miss this," the man in the back said. His group looked at me as if I'd be pleased with their smug smiles."Yeah, bro. Grace's beautiful. I really don't know why so many are afraid of her. I mean, why would they be scared of an angel's face?"I could feel my lips almost twitching. Angel? I wonder if I'd let them see my fangs, would they still think the same?"Pabida. Isn't this an insult to us? We're in our third year and then we will be taught a first year without even taking a course?"Jealousy. One of the emotions very common among humans. Nothing new.

My eyebrows rose."In that case, why are you still here?"His lips parted a bit and gave me a critical look. He didn't speak immediately as if he knew I would be offended by what he was going to say."Tita suddenly ordered something so Cesar left on my motorbike. I will take you home.""What ?!""Yes, Chanelle."Lintik!"What is Mommy's order and all of a sudden ?!""I don't know. Cesar never said that."I sighed and rolled my eyes. Push me into the back seat. Why is it that he was not the only one ordered instead of my driver.Mommy and Daddy took a long time to get home that night. It's often like that. So every time like that, often, I deliver dinner to teresa or say to eat later. I don't even want to keep up with Euan.I rehearsed the lines of my audition piece before going to sleep. With my effort, I'm sure there's a good chance I'll get it. So the next day, I was really positive."Good luck, Ch

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

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

"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

"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

"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

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!
