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
"What else are you doing? Why aren't you leaving?" I tried so much to maintain a cold demeanor. But when I remembered I had no right to tell him that because he was the owner of the resort, I regretted my words.He looked down, looking so bruised at my words. Damn it! Annoyingly, I just want to take back what was said and let him stay!"Oo nga pala. I can't boss you around since you're one of the owners here. But as a guest, I demand privacy."Maybe that's okay than just letting him go! Of course I'm not as heartless as him!"Alright. I'll leave ..." he surrendered. But he didn't leave right after he said that. With his eyes directed at me, he slid his hand on his pocket. He pulled the phone out of there. He typed something.He stared at the screen as he typed. It was quick. Then, he turned to me again. I raised my brow. He didn't speak anymore and just turned away. I watched his
I scratched my forehead and bit my lower lip. I didn't imagine this situation could become worse than I imagined."You? Are you okay? Do you have wounds? I'm going to see you, Luke! You don't have a family there so–""Don't be stubborn, K! Rose will come here later so don't worry. Rose has a powerful family behind her and there are many bodyguards so she can't be approached. You're the one I'm worried about because besides you are the closest to me , that rightful actor has been mad at you for a long time! "The possible danger made me feel so much horrified. I suddenly remembered what had happened to me before. I got cold."I'm confused, Luke ... Why did they plan to kill him? What's their relationship?""They are a couple, K. All I heard was they were arguing about the incident. Lyka asked if the scene was very clean and made sure there wasn't any evidence that Antonio ki
