After a few hours.Clarissa is currently walking her way at the Angels Home Orphanage. After six days of working, she can finally relax and have a happy time with the children. She missed playing with them so much, and she's really excited to meet them all again."Wow! A new firetruck toy! Thank you very much!" She thoughtfully frowned when she heard that excited voice coming from the auditorium of the orphanage. Did another philanthropist visited the children again? And who could it be? She walks faster as she gets more and more curious. She can hear the sound of the children,and it's clear that they sounded happy and excited. As soon as she reaches the entrance door of the auditorium room, she saw the children who are currently standing in line. She saw a really pretty woman who screams of expensive items from head to toe, and she was the one who is giving gifts to the children. She's happy to see that many people wants to help the children at the orphanage, and they will welco
Few days have passed.Clarissa and her colleague, Angel, are having a 15-minute break at work. They are at the al fresco table outside the convenience store, while enjoying some pastries and having iced coffee. "The pastries and the iced coffee tastes good! Let's order at that coffee shop again." Angel smilingly said, while looking satisfied with their afternoon snack."I agree with you... Anyway, our 15-minute break is over, we should go back to work." Clarissa suggested."Yep, back to work..." Angel nodded in agreement.Clarissa volunteered to put their trash on the garbage can. As she was about to throw the trash, she suddenly saw something inside. She frowned when she saw something squared, and there were some colorful wires attached into it. There was also a red counter on it and the numbers are changing.And she's not stupid not to know what it was."Angel, run away!" she shouted at her co-worker.Angel started running away, and Clarissa did the same thing too, however, the sma
For the passed few days, Michele has been consistently protecting Clarissa after what happened to her. He's always showing up at work, driving her home, and he also visits the orphanage during the weekend, just to be by her side, and at the same time, he's starting to get closer to the children and everyone there.It was another weekend at the orphanage, and Michele is helping out preparing lunch for the children. He is doing the barbecue grilling, while the others are cooking their own dish, and there are some few who are setting up the long table and the chairs as they are gearing up for an outdoor lunch party.Michele's eyes roamed around to look for Clarissa, but she was nowhere to be found. He suddenly became anxious, thinking that something might have happened to her. Eventhough they are in a public, populated place, he's still up on his feet, and alert at all times. His father, the Godfather of the "La Famiglia" will do anything and everything to get what he wants.He immediat
"You're right. I shouldn't be wasting my time on you. And it's your lost , not mine. I can find a better man compared to you." Celeste haughtily stated.At the same time, Clarissa wanted to give Celeste a big hug to comfort her. As a woman, she fully understand her pain, and she wants to support her in anyway she can."I have to go. I have better things to do. Goodbye, Michele and Clarissa." Celeste finally said her goodbye. Then afterwards, she turns her back on them, and started walking away without looking back.As she continues to walk away, big tears started to stream down her cheeks. She doesn't want to glance back at Michele because she doesn't want to see her crying like a pathetic fool. She has to maintain her dignity as a woman.And as soon as she steps inside her car, she finally lets herself cry out loud, pouring out all of her pain, frustration and heartbreak...======================================When Celeste was finally out of sight, Clarissa started to speak again.
"You know very well on why I came here to talk to you." Michele Montserrat's started with his agenda rightaway."Yes, sir. Please allow me to explain that I didn't try to convince Michele on anything. Everything he decided on, he mainly concluded them all by himself." Clarissa explained her side.Michael nodded in return."Yes, I understand that. My son has this characteristic of being stubborn, and I can admit that he got it from me. I am perfectly aware that Michele decided everything all by himself, and he's not easily influenced by other people. However..."Clarissa held her breath in suspense as she waited for the old man to speak again."But your presence has a great influence and impact towards my son. His feelings for you--whatever you call it, has got something to do with all of his decisions. Which made our relationship as a father and son very problematic." Michael's jaw clenched, as he tries his best to control his emotions."I am truly sorry, Mr. Montserrat, but have you
Michele is on his guard as he is making his way to his father's mini-office inside their mansion. The great and powerful Michael Montserrat called for him and requested to have an appointment with him this evening.His father didn't tell him the agenda of their meeting, but he already had this guy feeling that they are going to talk about his relationship with Clarissa.And he's never going to back down. He will protect and defend Clarissa against his father.When he is finally standing at the door of his father's mini-office, he started knocking on his door."Come in, son!" he heard his father's voice inside the room.Based on his father's tone, it seems like he has been expecting him.He took a deep, calming breath before he opens the door. After a few seconds, he opens it and made his entrance inside the mini-office."I'm glad you can meet with me now, son. Go ahead and have a seat." Michael greeted his son.Michele took a seat, while feeling cautious. He is getting mentally and em
Michele woke up, in a startled manner. He is aware that he has already opened his eyes, but all he can see is the pitch-black darkness.He knows that he's sitting on a chair, and he can hear some men talking, just a few meters away from him. Looks like they're having a good time, and based on what he's been hearing from them, he assumes that they are playing a game of cards, and he can smell the scent of alcohols and cigarettes.As his foggy mind starts to clear up, he realizes that he is blindfolded, with his arms and legs all tied up. Michele can sense that he is in a serious situation right now. But he decided to keep himself calm, as he starts thinking of the ways on how he can break free and successfully escape...He suddenly heard some voices on his left side. The men are talking about something, so he strained his ears to understand hus abductor's conversation... "He's been here for long hours already. What do you think our Boss will do to him?" one of the men asked his compa
He's more worried and scared for Clarissa, because she's not used to the world that he's in. Clarissa is an easy prey for the La Famiglia clan.Michele snaps out from his reverie when he heard Luca Stracci's voice again."Who should I start with, Michele? Is it your father, your mother or your girlfriend?""Why would you ask me? Don't you have the guts to do it?" Michele challenges him again.Stracci remained silent for a few seconds or so... Then without a word, he laughed out loud as if he was crazy."You got that courageous trait from your father, Michele. But unfortunately, it will get you in trouble at the end..." Stacci leered at him. "You really thought that you have won over my old man? I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but you're sadly mistaken." Michele sneered back at him.Stracci's brows met in an angry frown."You're really getting into my nerves now, young man." "I wish you could look at your face now, Stracci. You look like you're ready to explode because of anger. I li
"I'm absolutely sure that you'll find someone who will love you for who you are, not because of your beauty, or the way you dresses and not because of your status in life. Someone will definitely love you with all their mind, heart and soul..." Martin seriously said, as he stares right into Sarah's eyes.Sarah doesn't know why, but those words that comes out from Martin's mouth are like music to her ears. No one man has said something like this to her, and it made her feel really special as a woman.As a career woman, she has been known as "Iron Woman." She tough, she's strict, she's a hard nut to crack, and she doesn't show any emotions to her colleagues.She's been showing her strengths to her co-workers and she's making sure that she hides her weaknesses. Since she started working, she's giving this "Indestructible Woman" kind of vibe.She thinks that its one of the reasons why men doesn't want to get closer to her.And now, out of the blue, there's this amazing man who never fails
After a few minutes, Martin politely said his goodbyes, and afterwards, he walks back to the kitchen.The kitchen's not busy anymore because lunchtime is already over. Martin fell into a deep thought. Tyler and Cassandra seems to be a very nice couple. Tyler's a very pleasant and handsome man, and it's no wonder why Sarah's been inlove with him.However, it was clear as day that the man's head over and heels inlove with Cassandra.He feels a bit sorry and proud of Sarah because she decided to sacrifice her feelings towards the man that she loves, in exchange of the happiness of her friends.He wants to do something to make her feel better, to let her know that she's going to be alright...============================Few days have passed.Sarah took a deep calming breath before stepping inside the restaurant. She decided to go back to the restaurant after their luncheon date with Tyler and Cassandra. She wanted to thank Martin for keeping her secret, and he pretended that they haven'
Three days quickly flew by... "Where are the newly-engaged couple anyway?" Kyla suddenly wondered aloud, as she started checking for her phone to see if Tyler and Cassandra has called or sent a message.Sarah checked her own phone and she smiled when she read Cassandra's message."Oh, Cass just messaged me and she said that they are on their way now." she informed her friend."Great, I'm really starving right now. I haven't eaten breakfast because I've been taking care of the twins and I was so busy giving my hubby a quick lesson about taking care of the kids." Kyla blabbered on."I think you and your husband are doing a great job. I'm sure Tyler and Cass will ask for your advice once they have their own baby." Sarah stated."How about you? Aren't you planning on getting married and having a family of your own?" Kyla started asking her questions."Not in the near future." Sarah answered in return, while shrugging her shoulders."Be careful of what you say, my friend. We don't know wh
A week quickly passed by.Cassandra groaned inwardly when she heard her smartphone ringing. She was still sleeping because she didn't sleep a wink last night because she's been thinking about Tyler.Her fiancé didn't call her for a week, and it really breaks her heart. She wanted to call her first, but her pride gets in the way...She looked the caller screen, hoping that it was a call from Tyler. But she felt a pang of disappointed when she saw that it was her mentor from the Aesthetics School in London."Hello, Miss Robin?""Hello, there, dahlin'. So, have you made your decision about extending your contract with us?" Mrs. Robin went straight to the point with her phone call.Well... Tyler didn't call for a week, and based on what they have discussed in the park, it's obvious that they called off their engagement... There's no way for her to stay here, and going back to to work in London can serve as a positive distraction for her..."Yes, Miss Robin. I gladly accept your offer. Whe
"Our advise won't really matter, Gianna. We're not the one who's getting married... It's you." Sarah frankly stated."--But what do you really want to do? Do you want to postpone the wedding for another two years for you to continue pursuing your dream?" Kyla suddenly asked."--Or do you want to forget about that job opportunity and be a full-time wife?" Sarah asked Cassandra another question. "I really don't have any idea, girls. If I could, I want to do both." Cassandra said, while shaking her head."I think the right thing to do is to talk to your fiancé about it. You need to sort out this problem, since you're going to be married soon, and whatever decisions you might have, it will affect both of you." Sarah seriously commented."You're right... I just need to find the perfect timing to talk to Tyler. He's been talking about the wedding for the passed few days." Casandra lets out a sigh."Do it as soon as possible before it's too late." Kyla advised."Yes. The sooner the better,
Cassandra roamed her eyes around the Departure Area inside the airport. She's finally home after two years of studying in London, and she feels really good to be back home. "Cassandra, over here!"Cassandra's smile almost reached her ears when she saw her future husband waving at her. She quickly walked towards to her direction, while pushing the baggage cart.Tyler gave her a bouquet of pink flowers, and after that, they shared a quick, loving kiss."Welcome back home, my love. I know you're already hungry and tired, so let's eat lunch first before I drive you back to your apartment, okay?" he suggested."Okay, that sounds good." Cassandra agreed.After a few minutes, they were already making their way to the parking lot when Tyler's mobile phone suddenly rang."Oh, let me just answer this call, love." said Tyler."Okay."Tyler went back to Cassandra as soon as he finished the call."Let's go, my love, so that you can take a rest after that long flight.""Thanks, love." answered Cas
As weeks and months goes by,Tyler and Cassandra's friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship. They have been a couple for almost six months now, and their love for each other are now getting stronger as ever.Cassandra is currently waiting for her boyfriend at their favorite hangout place, which is the Botanical Garden located at the Waldorf University campus... Cassandra's getting all nervous and anxious because she needs to say something important to Tyler."Hello, love! I'm sorry for being late. I had to talk to Professor Smith about my upcoming thesis and I didn't even realized the time. Did you wait too long?" Tyler suddenly appeared, while looking apologetic."Oh, it's fine. I'm glad you're here." Cassandra responded."Why do you look so serious? Is there something wrong, my love?" Tyler suddenly asked, while looking so concerned."Please have a seat first, love. I need to tell you something important." Cassandra started.Tyler sat on the bench and stared at his girlfrien
"We're all hoping for the same thing, Cassandra. But for now, you should really go home and take a good, long rest." Kyla suggested as well.At the very same time, Tyler's car stopped in front of them. He opened the passenger's seat door for Cassandra, and the backseat door for Sarah and Kyla.After a few minutes, Tyler is now driving their way back to Cassandra's apartment...================================One week after the accident, all of the classes at Waldorf University resumes, and almost everything went back to normal.Tyler and Cassandra are at the University's Botanical Garden. They are waiting for Sarah and Kyla who are still at the library. The four of them planned to eat lunch together at a newly-opened pizza house near their campus."I have to tell you something, Cassie. I hope you can listen to me with an open mind and open heart." Tyler suddenly spoke, while looking so serious.Cassandra nervously swallowed an imaginary lump on her throat. This is the first time she'
Meanwhile...Tyler is now running with all his might towards the building where the explosion happened. The other students were standing at their own places, unable to move because of shock.He is worried scared and sick about Cassandra. Coincidentally, he bumped into their friends, Sarah and Kyla. "Let's go and look for Cassandra!" Sarah suggested, and she looks dead worried for Cassandra as well.Tyler nodded in approval. "I hope she's not seriously hurt!" he said, as the three of them started running their way towards the Arts and Science Building.After few more minutes of running, they finally reached the building.The scared students who were inside the building are being evacuated one by one.Tyler, Sarah and Kyla roamed their eyes around to look for Cassandra. They three of them heaved a sigh of relief when they finally saw Cassandra, who is walking with her female classmate. They are quite familiar with her, and the two girls are making their way out from the building. "A
