It's already 3 in the morning and I still haven't gotten any sleep. My mind was still active at this hour which made it harder to sleep. It was clouded with thoughts and I couldn't have any idea how to calm my mind and finally put myself into a peaceful sleep. I was just staring at the white ceiling. I could still feel my eyes being puffy from all of the crying because of that encounter with my ex-boyfriend and gladly, Bella kept her mouth shut after seeing me in my worst state once again, maybe already an idea after seeing me at that state.

I move to the left and hug my extra pillow. I still have work later and I'm here, deprived of sleep.

What in the world is happening to me?!

My ex-boyfriend... I just love him too much for me to feel such pain after breaking up with him because that's the least that I could do, to free myself from him. But the pain is too much for me to handle. I have so much on my plate that I'm almost going crazy. And I just want this to be over.

But then, I'm s

    Chapter 44 My hands went cold as if I am shivering due of the aircon that was turned on. But I know more than that. I am nervous. And I don’t know from where it came from and why. My mind could sense something was off if I really go inside my boss’ office. I don’t want to give myself false hope but I hope I was wrong because I really don’t want to talk about it. As I turned the knob and pushed the door lightly, I saw Mr. Saavedra sitting on his usual spot and just like the some other days, he was busy reading some papers. I was about to back down but before I could even closed the door, he already caught me peeking inside and from that moment, I know that there’s no turning back. It’s too late now because he already caught me in the act. “You’re here,” he uttered in a low voice but enough to sent shivers on my body as if we were just close. “Come here,” he added and I did what he said. My steps were average and I don’t know why am I nervous right now. My heart pounded louder than

    It was already past 6:30 in the evening and I was not yet in my best friend’s condo unit. After I got off from work, I decided to have some alone time with myself. I decided to go here at the bay walk, where I could feel the cold breeze of the young night hitting my body making a few strands of my hair go up to my face.The crisp air by the water has a captivating and energizing quality that creates a visual mosaic that conveys the moment's essence. The crisp, cold air tickles my skin as I sit at the park's cement bars to keep myself from falling into the water.The faint aroma of salt penetrates the sea breeze and flows into the crisp air, adding to the whole experience. The wind blows through my hair, a symphony of rustling whispers, and it feels both energizing and calming, like nature's embrace.The sound of the wide body of water resonates throughout my body as the breeze envelops me, giving me a sense of the infinite.

    I SILENTLY TOOK a glance once again at Ken, his hands on the steering wheel, swiftly manuevering it and quietly driving. Looking from his side profile, I could really tell that there's no doubt that he was a younger version of his brother. It's just that, Keandrick is just more mature and always have this dark aura with him that will make people think that he carries half of the world's biggest problems, he also look intimidating that would made everyone afraid of him and the serious one, and Ken on the other side is always that friendly version, always have this positive vibes with him and smiles at towards almost everyone. I didn't expect that I would bump into him at the baywalk at this hour. I mean, what is he doing there? It's almost 7 in the evening and he's out there. Or maybe he also just wants to breathe fresh air from all of those toxicity of work in the office just like me. Whatever. Whatever what he's doing out there is none of my business anyway.

    LOVE has no boundaries. Love has no age limit. Age doesn’t matter, a famous quotation says. And it doesn’t matter how long have you’ve been together as long as you two love each other. They said that if you truly love someone, you are willing to do anything for him/her to make that person happy. You’ll court that person and do nice things to prove yourself. That is why I love the perseverance Felix showed me when he is still courting me and until now that he give me his promise. His perseverance made both of us here where we are now.“Dismissed.” The professor announced so I quickly gathered my things.“I’ll go now, Bella. I’ll still need to buy cake,” I quickly turned my head at the girl beside me while arranging my things inside my bag after our Professor dismissed us.My best friend just pouted her lips and she looks cute when she do that.“You’re so in love.

    THE scene was like knives being stabbed in my chest multiple times. It killed me. Big time. I felt my tears slowly falling down my cheeks nonstop at what I am watching right now. They made all the way to the long couch without breaking the kiss. He laid the unfamiliar girl on the couch as his hands roamed all over the girl’s body while the girl’s hand was clinging unto his nape. I wanted to get out where I was hiding and slap their faces but it feels like my feet were being glued on the floor. I couldn’t move. I was too shocked to even react at the moment. “Anniversary, huh?” I heard the girl speak. I guess she saw the decorations I made on the wall. “Don’t mind it. Let’s just continue,” my boyfriend said. Why? Why did you do this, Felix? I thought… I couldn’t accept it. It broke my heart into a million pieces when I heard the girl call my boyfriends name in a soft moan. It hurts like hell. “Where is your girlfriend?” the slut asked like she d

    WE were done eating our breakfast and I just came out from the shower. Bella bought me clothes so I could wear something nice. She insisted and didn’t let me stay with my pajamas on. She was really hospitable when it comes to her visitors.“I will just stay inside here anyway, so why bother buying me clothes?”She rolled her eyes. “You need to take a bath, duh?” And in the end, she really won.When I came out of my room, I saw her sitting in the living room, facing her laptop. Every graduating student is indeed busy. I was busy too but I’m almost done with all of my requirements so I’m not in the rush hour anymore. Just a few more weeks and I’ll finally get that diploma.“Done?” she asked when she noticed my presence.I nodded and turned my phone on and I was right with Felix who really flooded my inbox but I didn’t bother to open it. How dare he.“Felix message

    BELLA came back to the condo with my things. I don’t really have that so many clothes to the point that they won’t fit in one closet. It wasn’t that really hassle for her since she have her own car her parents gave her a gift on her last birthday.I help her carry the bags with my things. “What did you tell him by the way?” I curiously asked. Felix won’t believe such a thing especially seeing my best friend packing up my things. He’s not stupid.She shrugged. “He’s not there,” she replied.I raised a brow to her reply. “What do you mean he’s not there?” I grab the last bag and she’s the one who closes the door of the car.“I knock multiple times but no one opened the door, guess he’s not there,” she explained as I followed her walking back to her room.“Really? Then how did you get these?” I referred to the things that we’re

    DO you know the saying expect the unexpected? I also thought that we could be happy until we reach our dreams together. Just a few more weeks and we’ll finally get the diploma that we both wanted. After that, he promised to travel around the world with me. He said a lot of promises to me and there I am, happy and hoping that he could fulfill his promises to me. I was the happiest when he said that he will marry me after we graduate. But all of the hopes vanish in the air just like a bubble. I expect him to fulfill all of the promises he said. I guess too much expectation will just really hurt you in the end. It will hurt you big time. “Listen to me, Astia, I am telling the truth. There was no sign of you in the apartment. Just those decors for our anniversary. I know you decorated them when you go home at lunchtime like the other special days,” he explained but I just shake my head slowly. The confusion in his eyes was very evident as I continue to s

    Just by the thought of my relationship status with the CEO of the Saavedra Inc.—Keandrick Saavedra, is enough to make my eyes and heart cry in confusion, in frustration, and because of my own stupidity. Never in my life had I thought that I'd ended up in this kind of situation. He confessed to me. He said he likes me. He never denied it to me. I was even the one who is not believing in every words that goes out in his very own mouth and tongue because well, even if other people is in my position, they will as well find it very impossible that a person like Keandrick Saavedra will like me. I read a lot about rich men falls in love with poor girls but I already set in my mind that the reality is way too far from the fictional world. And for somehow, I know I have hurt his ego. And then now, we just kissed. I honestly don't know what will happen to us next. I am his secretary and it is normal for me to interact with him because basically, he is my boss here. I work for him. We are seei

    "Uh... Did I interupt something?" A voice uttered and I quickly move my face away from Keandrick. I was about to stand up from Keandrick's lap but he didn't let me. He look at me with warning eyes and I just pouted and just choose to sat comfortably on his lap despite the embarassment I am feeling right now. But then, I still choose to quickly get myself up and fix my skirt that is a little bit crumpled due of sitting at Keandrick's lap. My heart was pounding hard inside my chest. I cleared my throat like as if nothing happened a while ago and convinced myself that the person who just came inside the room didn't saw what we are doing. I face palm due of embarrassment because I know to myself, even if I admit it or not, that someone saw Keandrick and I kissing passionately. Oh my god! I felt my cheeks heated at that realization that I just kissed Keandrick's lips! He's my boss for goodness sake! My cheek continues to heat up and swea I am now looks like a fucking red tomato.What I ha

    "You really wouldn't believe that I am into you?" he added but I don't know how to respond to the words he said that all I could do is blink. "Well, Audrey, from now on, I am formally informing you that I'll court you and make you my girlfriend," he uttered with finality while staring directly into my eyes as if he can see me through my soul. We stared at each other as my eyes remained widened in shock, mouth gape open.I tried to look for signs in his eyes that he was just messing with me but I found none. And deep in myself, I know that I am scared that Keandrick might really saying the truth—that he'll make me his. I don't know why am I even scared and it just frustrated where this is coming from. I don't know what to say after that sudden confession. God! Keandrick Saavedra never failed to surprise me! He always got something on his sleeves.Keandrick Saavedra is a well known ruthless business man in the country. Their family is famous due of their chain of hotels in the country

    "Ah, I'm so tired!" Bella mumbled as we both drop our bags on the floor and exhaustedly drop ourselves on the sofa and tightly close my eyes.We just came home at Bella's condo from our shift at the coffee shop. The number of customers tonight was countless. There are lots of them. Some stayed at the shop to review maybe because the finals is coming. On the other hand, Keandrick also message me when he got home to his parents which I find it unusual for him to do it. It's the first time he message me to update his whereabouts and I couldn't get the idea for of him updating me. Meh, it was beyond office hours already. My face crumpled at that thought. I tightly close my eyes to rest myself for a bit due of exhaustion."You hungry?" I uttered, enough to be heard by the girl beside me. "Nope," she replied, popping the letter 'p'. "I want to rest now. I'm sleepy," she added and I heard her yawned. I nodded. "Same."I get up and pick my bag that I just drop on the floor and went to my r

    After we finished eating, Keandrick insisted on taking me home to Bella's condo but I suddenly panick when I noticed the time when I take a glance at my wrist watch. It's almost 6 PM already and I still have my shift at the coffee shop. Gladly that I already ate, I'll just eat light meal again if I feel like I'm hungry again. "Umm... Just take me at the coffee shop. I still have night shift," I started to cut off the silence and felt Keandrick turned to me. When I take a glimpse at him, I noticed how his brows furrowed while looking at me intently. Confusion was written all over his face but I just avoided his gaze."You're... Still working at night?" I heard him uttered, curiousity was evident in his voice.I silently nodded, "Hmm... It'll be finished at 10 PM," I replied without taking my eyes off the view in front. The car were still not moving."Shall we, Mr. Saavedra? I'll lead the way. Don't worry sir, it's just a few meters before the building where I am staying." He nodded an
