Matthew

After the conference, we headed to their house as fast as possible. No one speaks while we are inside the car. We fell silent as if we were in a silent war.

"This is killing me," I told them. "I am very sorry, guys, but it is too quiet. I am dying of silence. Why are we silent anyway?" I asked them.

"You guys are quiet, too, so I thought I should keep my mouth shut." Archane commented.

"Me too." Lyndon added.

"I am hungry. That is why I am quiet." Layzen said.

We can't help but laugh at his answer. "Why did you stay quiet if you were already hungry?" Dad Albert asked while driving.

"You are not talking. As a grown-up, I should stay quiet, too." he answered.

"I thought you'd act your age?" Then Traizle said, this time to Layzen.

"It depends on my mood and my outfit," Layzen answered as he fixed the buttons on his sleeves. "I thought I should act like one because I am wearing a formal suit." Layzen added.

Of all the children I encountered, I liked Layzen the most. He is

    Traizle "Dad, do I look okay in this dress? I do not think I suit this kind of dress. It is so uncomfortable." I told my dad, almost complaining about the dress I was wearing. I am wearing a casual dress but itching to change to a comfortable one. But I cannot do that. "We need to wear a formal one when you are meeting your boyfriend's family," Dad explained. "This is the first time we will meet each other's families. Just wait for a few hours before you can change." We will be seeing Matthew's grandparents tonight. Matthew just told us yesterday that his grandparents would come here tonight for a small gathering. We will introduce our family properly. "They bought that for you. That is why you cannot say no to it, right?" Dad asked again. I nodded. This is one of the gifts I received from his grandparents before. Although they are pretty, they are not for me to wear. Looking at the price tag before wearing it, it felt like I might be a hostage if I went out with this dress I wa

    Layzen "Look! Look! The camel looks cool!" "What is cool about camels? You won't be able to see them in person anyway." "Where can we find a camel, then? I want to see one. I wanted to see how big and cool it is in person." "You can see them in a zoo." "Brother Layzen!" Thalia called my name. "Yes?" I asked. I think I have not heard anything since a while ago. "Can we go to the zoo and see a camel?" Thalia asked. "There are no camels in the zoo here. You can see them mostly in Egypt, Mongolia, and China." I told her. "Can we ask Uncle Gio to drive us to Egypt?" Thalia asked again. "So that we can see the camel in person." she added. "I think it is far from here, Thalia." Little Matthew said. "We can't go there?" Thalia asked sadly. "Sorry, Thalia. When your parents get home, you can ask about it." I told her. When will they come? I became a nanny after six years. "Everyone! I am home!" we heard Lyndon shouting from the living room. "I am going to take care of three kids

    After getting off on the motorcycle, Traizle immediately got her phone from her mini bag. Dialing the person who ordered from their snack bar, but it seems like the line isn't available. Traizle tried to text the person, but no reply at all. "Don't tell me that this is a freaking prank." she said, trying to shake off the thought that it was a prank. Looking at the food she brought. Full pack on the container with two large plastic bags on her motorcycle's handlebars. Thinking of the money she might waste if it was a prank, she tried to dial the number again, but it was still not available. "Delivery for Mr. Zarsuelo!" She shouted. Thinking that the person is near her and waiting for the delivery as well, yet still, to no avail. Ten minutes have passed, the food is already cold. No Mr. Zarsuelo around, no one is answering the calls nor her texts. The line was always busy, and it seems like it will stay busy as it is. Traizle sighed with disappointment. The money she will get turns

    Tomorrow morning, Traizle took Layzen and Lyndon to their school. Lyndon's school is a few minutes' walk to Layzen's kindergarten school. "We are here." Traizle said when they got to Layzen's school. "Who will fetch me later after school?" Layzen asked. Traizle matched her brother's height and fixed Layzen's hair. "Your brother will fetch you later after school." Traizle answered. His younger brother pouted. "He is fetching me too late, I always told him to fetch me as early as possible." Layzen said throwing a tantrum. "You must understand him. Your class ended a little earlier than his. He has to run to go here," she explained. "But don't worry, I will try to tell him to run faster. Is it okay?" She asked. "Alright." Layzen answered. "Study hard. See you later." Traizle said then kissed Layzen's forehead. He waved his hands. "Take care on your work. I will be a good boy, so don't worry about me." Layzen said before entering his school's gate. Traizle watched her younger brot

    Traizle "Do we have any orders to be deliver?" I asked the owner. I have three customers already and I am hoping for more. She shook her head. "None, Kelvin went to deliver the last order I have." the owner answered. I was about to say something when my phone rang suddenly. I got my phone to see the caller and it was Lyndon. The doorbell chimed as I answered the answer button of my phone. "I am Zarsuelo, the man who tried to order but get mislead by someone." A man named Zarsuelo said. “And I wasn’t able to give me an explanation and ended the call abruptly.” He added. I immediately looked at him. He came here because I ended the call without telling him? "I am the someone you are talking to." I answered, making him look at me. He quickly turned to me, and his eyes widened. "You—you are the woman in the restaurant this morning," he replied while pointing his forefinger at me. "But yeah, l tried to order a while ago and you just ended the call saying I am just doing some p

    Traizle After talking, he immediately sits beside a man and ate the food the man gave. I went to the counter to ask the owner. "Do we have any orders to deliver?" I asked the owner. "I was waiting for you to come here." the owner answered before pulling out something from her apron. I was surprised when she handed me a big sum of money. "What is that for?" I asked, baffled from the situation. "It is from him," the owner answered as she points Zarsuelo. "He paid the money you lost, saying he does not like to be in debt to someone." she added. "How about the payment for this event?" I asked. "He paid for it as well." the owner answered. We looked at him, he was busy munching the food in front of him. He does not look like who has a lot of money, but based from his physical outlook, I can say that he kinda has it. After they finish their food, they are now readying and dolling up themselves. They even stand up altogether before saying "Thank you for the treat, Sir." they

    Traizle "Do not worry about the payment, it is still the same as I offered yesterday. It is too hot today. You might be dying from the heat inside," the owner said, as he was concerned. "Do you happen to know Mr. Matthew?" He asked me. I looked at him and he was already smiling at me. Why am I seeing him lately? "I do not really know him that much." I answered, causing him to grimace. "Is that so?" The owner replied, reading the awkward atmosphere. "Anyway, your job is done. Come to my office so that I can pay you." he added. The owner and Zarsuelo talked for a while before we went to his office. After paying us, we went out to remove the costume. "Traizle, do you really don't know the man a while ago?" Jake asked me while I was inside the comfort room. "We have met a few times, but I do not really know him aside from that he is the owner of a big company." I answered as I changed my shirt. I heard him snort. "You do not really watch the news or what." Jake said as he lau

    Traizle "Traizle!" Layzen exclaimed when he saw me. He is playing by himself outside of our house. He excitedly embraced me the moment he got in front of me. "Where is your brother?" I asked and hugged him tightly. "His friends fetched him. They wanted to play at the computer shop near here. I told him that he could go without me. It is boring to watch them play." he explained. I let go of him and ruffled his hair. "You are really a big boy now. Just make sure to play near our house. If someone you do not know approaches you, do not go with him." I warned him. He nodded. "I will. I am a big boy already." Layzen said confidently. "By the way, did you eat your lunch already?" I asked. "We did, how about you?" Layzen asked back. "I only ate dessert for lunch. I am still kind of hungry." I answered. "You should eat. Dessert for lunch is not enough to fill your stomach. Why would you eat dessert for lunch?" he asked, almost scolding me. I was not able to answer his que

    Matthew As time passed by, day by day, my amazement at her became an interest, and I ended up liking her. How can I not like her? She is gorgeous as hell. She is so family-oriented, a good cook, and can work well. She is a sexy person who can't even say sweet things- but that is how she lives, and I still like her after that. I was able to learn about her life with her brother, Lyndon. I can't ask her about this matter; she is too off. Although Lyndon tells me some stories about them, he still does not tell me the stories that are too sensitive, and I MUST respect that. At first, I thought girls were all the same. I can make them come to me because I am rich, but that can't compare to her. I even offered her that I could give her a bunch of money. What did I receive from her? Her two middle fingers with her mad face. I also wanted to make her fall in love with me right away. I did not know that it was tough to get her attention. Anyway, all that matters today is that I am hers, a

    Matthew Following that day, I requested the assistance of my relatives, specifically my grandparents, as suggested by the woman I met. I told them the whole story. I thought they couldn't help me because they were already old. What can they do? My parents are both stronger than them. I did not know that they could still control my parents. They even gave a long lecture that I did not imagine at all. Mom and Dad started to work for themselves after that, reluctantly, and I stayed at my grandparents' house. After a few months, my mom called me to attend a meeting about their new investor. They forced me to go with them to check if the investor would help them make their company progress. Nana and Pops did not allow me to go there, so I told them I would read it if they had the documents already. After an hour, I got a call from my Dad. They told me that they got involved in an accident. Dead on arrival. The reason why they got into that accident is because of the company issue. Mom

    Flashback. Matthew "Can't I go and rest for once?" I asked my parents. Mom turned to me as if I had said something terrible. "Who will manage the company if you rest? You can rest later in the evening." she answered unbothered. Who will manage the company if I rest? I don't even own the company. They made that company themselves, and why am I getting involved? "Why are you guys even here if no one will manage this?" I started to ask. "Why did you even build this company if you guys are not going to take care of it?" "Watch your word, Matthew!" Mom screamed. I sighed. "Mom, I am still in college. I should focus more on studying, not on your business." I retorted. "Studying? When all you do is play your mobile games and eat sweets? Where is the focus of your studying?" Mom answered back. I can't believe this. "Yeah, I play mobile games and eat sweets. You don't know why?" I asked. "It's the only thing I can do since I am here. Aside from reading your papers, looking at the scre

    Flashback. Matthew "Why are you staring at your money, Auntie? Instead of staring at it blankly, you should invest in Z company. I can guarantee you that they will make your money double." I told my Auntie. She was busy counting her money beside me. We had our family reunion. Everyone was talking and catching up to one another, asking some things they didn't even need to know were being asked in this gathering, and she was busy looking at her money. She glanced at me. "How can you say that Z company will double my money, did your parents invest in that company?" Auntie asked. I shake my head. "No. I read one of their magazines, and they explained how they process things. It is just my opinion, though. You don't have to do it if you are unsure about it," I answered. "I'm pretty interested in investment, and I've watched a lot." I added to add more credibility. She sighed and started to keep her money in her wallet. "I need money. Your Uncle has been gambling nonstop, and I must pa

    Traizle "Here is your food." Matthew said as he put my food in front of me. "Where are your daily sweets?" I asked. "You are not going to eat today?" He shakes his head. "No, I will not eat it now." He answered. Does he mean that he will stop eating sweets now? "Why?" I asked. "Can you stop eating your sweets?" He went quiet. Contemplating whether he can stop eating his sweets. "I guess I can." he answered. A while ago, he fetched me from our house. He even opened the car door for me before and after I rode in his car. Why does he act like someone he is not? "Will you find new investors for our new project?" I asked. Matthew says we got a good proposal a while ago, and the project is in process. "Honestly, if the potential investors don't invest in our new projects, I can personally invest in them. But," he paused. "Since they know that it is our new project, I doubt they won't invest in it." Well, he is right. Investors would invest in our project since they know it is unde

    Matthew "What? They went back?" I asked. "Yes, the night they abducted Traizle, they fled out of this city. When my team went there in advance to the area we located, we reviewed the CCTV and saw them leaving the city." The investigator explained. "We should head as well. I don't think it is safer for Traizle if we don't do anything as of these hours. Those people who abducted her can hurt her." I told them. Her mother had done an unbelievable thing already. What's more, they can do? I hope they won't hurt her. I should not have left her last night. I was too reckless and only thought about our date. We, together with my employees, headed back to our city. I immediately went to Traizle's family to tell them the updates. "I cannot believe that her mother can do it to her daughter because of money?" Dad Albert expressed his disappointment. "She has let go of us since then. It is no wonder why she can do that to Traizle." Lyndon said worryingly. "We should save Traizle now, and sh
