It's no wonder if Nathalie didn't have any recollection about the sweet moment of the two of them because of his cold treatment towards her during their marriage years. Now, Nigel can't pull even one good memory to say that he's once a good husband to her. About her said one-sided love, he can't say anything about it. "I admit, I was wrong..... If... if I could turn back the time...." The bar went pin-dropped silent and the situation became seriously awkward. Nobody wanted to disturb the moment, they could only glance to each other. They couldn't even make a rustling noise while the others barely breathing, they look back and forth at the two. Nathalie let out a sighed. "Forget it. It's already in the past, let's move on." Nigel wanted to say something but he can't figure out what ought to say, he just sitting there quietly while clenching his fist. Michelle cleared her throat and speak up to somehow get rid of the awkward ambience. "Alright, and this is how we conclude, thank
Lucille who's making a glass of milk at the kitchen looked out the moment she heard a soft footsteps. she went to the living room and saw her daughter sitting at the sofa in a daze. "Nat, it's getting late, what are you doing there?" She asked but her daughter doesn't seem to hear anything. She came infront of her and wave her hand on her face. That's when nathalie snapped from her deep thoughts. "Mom..." Nathalie called, still in daze. "What's happened to you? I've been calling you for a while. Is something's bothering you?" "Well, there is...." Nathalie hesitates whether to ask her mother about her ex-husband. She didn't want to bother herself about his affairs but she couldn't help to wonder and she felt that she's not going to settle not until she figure out about it. "Um, about Nigel..... Mom, do you know if Nigel is in relationship?" After asking away, Nathalie averted her gaze when she saw the suspicious look from her mother. "W-why are you looking at me like that?" "Why
"Good morning Mr. Valdez, I'm stuck in a traffic, sorry I'm late." "It's alright Ms. Andeza, I'm just arrived ten minutes ago." The man got up from his seat and pulled one for Nathalie. The two sat down and exchange their greeting before the man called the waiter. The two chatted happily while eating their sumptuous meal. "I haven't eat my breakfast so I ordered a lot, does it turn you off Mr. Valdez?" Nathalie asked while munching her food, her cheeks was bulging like a squirrel. "No worries Ms. Andeza, it's actually nice to see a woman who didn't restrain herself from eating a lot. You know women nowadays always care about their figure so they always eat a little." "That's true, but I'm different. I don't get plump easily in just one heavy meal so its fine for me to eat more. I don't even restrain myself if I'm starving." "Then, I think I shouldn't restrain myself either. I am a man and I have much a bigger appetite than you. What do you think, should we compete?" Nathali
Nigel didn't hesitate, he rushes out and chase after his ex-wife, but they seemed to play tug and war when Nathalie refused adamantly. Mr. Valdez stepped in to help her. "Bastard, let go! You're so shameless, are you that desperate?""Don't meddle to us, mind your own business!" Nigel retorted. This guy have a nerve to threathen that he might lose his job but he just smirk on him. He didn't look scared in whatever this guy might capable to do, for him, he's just like a jumping clown.Out of madness, Mr. Valdez finally called a security, but when it came over, Nigel introduce himself that made him dragged Nathalie away freely without any restrictions.Mr. Valdez left in a daze, never would he imagine that that man he called bastard was non other than a young elite businessman Nigel Sarmiento, the one he had planned to have business deal in the future. Thinking what he had done and said to him, he finally realized that the man might mocked him because of his naivety. After some thought,
Nathalie was reeling when she arrived home, struggling to process what her ex-husband had told her. She couldn't fathom why Elaine would do such a thing. Nigel told her how the woman shamelessly claimed the credits that belong to her, pretending that she's the one who had saved him from the fire.Nathalie massaged her forehead, wondering if she should still hurt now that it was all over. Yet, her ex-bestfriend's betrayal had left her with so much pain. Torn and uncertain, Nathalie poured herself a rare glass of wine, seeking comfort.Lucille arrived and found her only daughter drinking alone. She dropped her shopping bags on the floor and approached her. "Nat, you're drinking? When did you even learn to drink? What's going on with you?" She took the wine glass and moved the wine bottle away. Nathalie remained unmoved, letting her mom take the bottle. "Mom, I'm so confused... What am I supposed to feel? Should I get mad about my failed marriage, or because of my best friend's betr
Nathalie couldn't answer Nigel's question as it made her ponder deeply, should she confess her fear of loving him again? What would be his response if she did? Though intrigued, Nathalie hesitated. Knowing her priority wasn't rekindling their romance, especially with the company's ongoing crisis and her health issues."Nathalie, are you still there?" Snappped back to reality, Nathalie apologized to Nigel and directly hung up. She slumped against her chair and letting out a deep sigh. She rubbed her temples. Only now did she realize that its really difficult to have a complicated relationships and she didn't want to get involve with this again.........Upon entering the company, Nathalie immediately sensed a strange and weird gazes among her colleagues. She couldn't help to have an urge to rub her forehead, she wondered; 'What malicious reason could be behind their peculiar stares this time?'Nathalie diverted her attention from the unfavorable glances, channeling her energy into h
NATHALIE ANDEZA I sat up immediately upon waking, worrying I might be late. I checked the wall clock and breathe of sighed in relief when I saw it wasn't noon, despite the sun was rising. I headed to the kitchen to prepare and cook a breakfast for my majesty; my beloved husband, Nigel, who always leaves early for work. The good thing is that, we don't have children yet, or I'll definitely be exhausted taking care for both of them. But, how can we have children, if nothing's happening between us? Our parents arrange our marriage, despite of that, I loved him for a long time since high school. Unfortunately, he doesn't like and reciprocate my feelings. I cooked a hearty breakfast because it was a special day for us. I designed the food with a heart shape and I put all of my love and devotion into it. Unfortunately, the man infront of me doesn't look like he appreciates it. He just continue munching his food without any care. "Why you cook so much?" Finally, he noticed some
NATHALIE ANDEZA: I could heard from where I stood how sweet they are while cuddling each other on the bed. The sight was breaking my heart. The woman was none other than my bestfriend- Elaine. This woman, she knows how frustrated and worried I was when I told her that Nigel might have woman outside. She even sympathize me and gave me a comforting words but its turns out..... She a viper! She's a leech! She just playing on me. "Nigel, kiss me!" Elaine requested in coquettish look, then Nigel peck on her lips. My heart seemed to be stab by the knife and I seem to have forgotten to breathe, this made my chest hurts. I saw Elaine pouted. "You don't love me anymore!" Nigel took the soup from the table. "Don't make trouble, come on, eat your food." He gently coaxed her. This is the first time I saw this soft and gentle side from my husband. "No!" Elaine pushed the soup away. What was this woman's problem? Didn't she know how lucky she was to be treated like this by my cold hu

Nathalie walled slowly in daze towards the man who's looking and waiting for her. When she got closer, she noticed his creased brows and his scowling face. "What's up Mr. Sarmiento? Are you–" she has to stop halfway when the man suddenly grabbed her arm and dragged her somewhere. "Let me go! Where are you taking me?" Nathalie tried to break free from his claws but the man tightens his grip. "Say, what do you need from me, do you have to do this?" She asked annoyingly while rubbing her arm."What are you doing in this kind of messy place, just when you had change your interest? Aren't you uninterested with the noisy places like this? And you even surrounded by men! Nathalie, just what are–""Wait....." Nathalie chimed in. "Do you dragged me just to lecture me? Mr. Sarmiento, have you check your identity and your relationship with me before you doing this? Have you thought, what right do you have to question me, are you my family? Who do you think you are?"Nigel slid his hand throug
Four people are now gathered together as they scrutinizing an unknown young man in their living room. The man was well-mannered, has a good looks despite looking a little matured due to his rimless glasses. His black hair is well-combed at the back of his head and his polo shirt and trousers are quite neat without creases.Seeing his awkwardness, Lucille broke the silence. "Um excuse me, may I ask who this gentleman is?" The visitor stood up and introduce his self politely. "I'm sorry for my sudden visit without informing you, ma'am. I'm Michael Lorenzo, but you can call me Mike.""Okay, nice to meet you Mike..." Lucille stretched out her hand to shake hands with the him but her husband pushed it away. "Be direct, which among us are you here for?" Armando asked in a serious tone.The young man scratched his head in embarassment. "Actually, I...." He didn't know how to say his aim properly specially since he's infront of everyone and armando with his deathly gaze. He couldn't h
Nigel slowly turned to his back. He stood up in awe as he was gawking at the woman while she's making her way toward his direction. He wasn't sure if his eyes suddenly obtained some defects or if it were just deceiving him, he almost rubbed it just to clear his eyesight. "N...n-nathalie?...." He blurted out with a little difficulty. After that, he couldn't speak again. Nathalie doesn't seem to take his reaction seriously. "Hello Mr. Sarmiento, long time no see." She then pulled a chair and sat down elegantly. When Nigel came back to his senses, he suddenly grabbed her and pulled her upright. "Y-you did not die?" He asked in disbelief, he choked as if he's about to burst to tears at any moment. "What's happen to you? W-why did you dissapeared? Do you know I'm almost gone insane? Where have you been in all these years? Why didn't you contact me? Nathalie...." Nathalie frowned and tried to get rid of the man's tight grip.
