Due to the hardships of life, Erina took on various jobs just to sustain her daily needs. She has been supporting herself alone ever since she left her father’s care. Her life was going well, but everything changed when she met a young man named Wayne Louie Anderson—a billionaire, a well-known figure in the business world, and the owner of prestigious resorts and casinos both in the Philippines and abroad. However, Erina had no idea about any of this. An incident pushed Wayne to conceal his true identity and pretend that he was missing. This led him to live under the same roof as Erina, allowing her to get to know him and eventually develop feelings for him. Will her feelings for him change once she discovers his true identity? Will she set aside her anger for the sake of love? Or will resentment and hatred prevail, leading her to give up on the man she loves?
もっと見る"Sit down first…" I said as I slowly guided him to sit on the small sofa.I immediately let out a breath once he was seated, but I made sure not to let him notice. He was tall, big body, and well-built—completely different from my physique. It felt like I had just carried a sack of rice because of how heavy he was. Not that I was complaining, I was just exhausted from helping him get here to my apartment.Yes, to my apartment because he refused to be taken to the hospital. I insisted, especially since he had a wound on his forehead that needed to be treated by a doctor. But he was adamant about not going and insisted that I bring him to my place instead. I had no choice but to agree. I couldn’t just leave him alone, or I’d be the one to blame if something worse happened to him."I’ll just get my first-aid kit," I informed him before heading straight to my room."Tss, why did you even bring him here, Erina?" I muttered to myself in frustration. I was talking to myself again out of shee
"What the heck?! Why am I so unlucky today?" I said, almost in tears, as I stepped out of the restaurant. And suddenly kicked the trash can I saw out of sheer frustration.The people who saw what I did were shocked, but I didn't care anymore. It's a good thing I vented my anger on the trash can and not on someone else. And I almost rolled on the ground here in the street just like I did earlier.Because the manager scolded me for delivering the food to the wrong table. The customer confronted me and scolded me until they called my manager."Why is this the food you served us? We didn't order this, miss," said a lady, but I could see the disappointment in her eyes.I suddenly got nervous and immediately looked at the list I was holding. And that's when I realized that I had indeed gone to the wrong table to deliver the food. Table 8 is the one I went to, and the food on the table is not on their list."I apologize, ma'am .. I think I just overlooked what was written—""Are you new here
None of us dared to speak. I wasn't looking at him, but I'm sure he was looking at me now.I didn't want to talk to him, but he asked Boss Yuki for permission, so I had no choice but to leave the counter and go to him. But until now, we still haven't acknowledged each other and he hasn't started talking yet.As if I'm going to talk to him. Over my dead body!But I looked at him when he placed something in front of me. An envelope, and I know it's filled with money."Take it, it will help with your daily expenses," he said, and suddenly, my mood shifted.He did this last week too. He handed me money, but I refused to take it. My brother never learns. He knows I won't accept it and that he won't get anything from me, yet he keeps coming here and trying to give me money."We're just going in circles, kuya. Aren't you tired of this?" I said in frustration, crossing my arms."No, I'm not.""Then why?""Because you're my sister!"Sister, my ass!I suddenly smiled bitterly because of what he
I could tell he was furious just by the way he looked at me. His glare alone made it clear that I had tested his patience. This was my first time being late, but I already knew I wouldn’t let it happen again."How many months have you been working here?" he asked, his tone sharp and unyielding.I was confused by what he asked, but before I could process it, he stood up, leaned against his desk, and crossed his arms."S-Seven months … sir," I stammered, feeling nervous. I instinctively took a step back as he moved closer to me.His face was unreadable, but I was sure he was angry. He was undeniably handsome, but his strictness at work was terrifying."Then why aren’t you doing your job properly?! The rules were explained to you, but you keep forgetting them! Just because you're my cousin’s friend doesn’t mean I won’t scold you or that you can do whatever you want," he snapped, his voice laced with frustration.His words caught me off guard.I couldn't bring myself to respond. Instead,
"ERINA ISABEL TUAZON POV"I'm just heading in, Faye. I woke up late. My alarm didn’t go off this morning," I spoke into my phone as I unlocked the chain from my bicycle.I always secure my bike like this because I don’t trust the people in this neighborhood. There are a lot of snatchers here—especially thieves. My apartment has a gate, but I still have to be extra cautious.[Are you serious, Erina? It’s already noon! Your boss is definitely going to lecture you again. Hurry up! You know he gets to work early, yet you still couldn’t wake up on time.]I just laughed at what my friend said. She seemed more stressed about it than I was. It wasn’t my fault that my phone alarm didn’t go off—or maybe I was just too exhausted that's why I didn't hear it?"I'm hurrying, but this bike you gave me isn’t cooperating," I joked, and I heard Faye sigh deeply on the other end of the line.This bike was her gift to me on my birthday last year. It has been my only mode of transportation to work every d
“ERINA ISABEL TUAZON POV”A strong slap landed on my face from Dad when he saw the report card I handed to him. I wasn’t surprised—I had already expected this to happen. The moment I saw my grades yesterday, I knew this was coming, so I wasn’t shocked when my father did this to me."You failed Filipino?! That’s the easiest subject, and you still flunked it? What kind of student are you? Do you even attend that class? I sent you to an expensive school so you could learn, and this is the kind of grades you show me? Do you really think I can accept this?" he yelled angrily before throwing my report card at me.I just lowered my head and wiped my cheek as tears started falling. I had promised myself I wouldn’t cry, but here I am now, my tears flowing like a river as my father continued his scolding.“I-I’ll make it up, Dad. It’s only the second quarter—”"I don’t care what quarter it is! You still failed, and there’s nothing you can do to change that!" he cut me off. "And stop making excu
