Chapter 3: Knowing the truth about Ken
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56As I started to feel better and had released all the pain I had been feeling, we finally headed to the kitchen to eat. Ken assisted me in moving to a chair, where I could begin eating.
Ken patiently attended to me, serving me food and rice, which made me feel embarrassed by his gestures. However, while we were all eating, I noticed that all the helpers who served him were eating at the same dining table. I felt something different about him—I admired his demeanor, realizing he was not like the other bosses who needed to eat first before their helpers. It dawned on me that even during these times, there were people like him who valued everyone equally. "You have been in a daze for a while. Just eat a lot and fill yourself up," he said, making me realize that I had been staring at him the whole time. With that, he stood up from his seat and drank some water. "I'm full. I'll just go to your room to fix your bed," he announced. At that moment, Manang Minda got up and quickly drank some water too. "Sir, let me do it; it's our job," she insisted. "Please, Manang Minda, just stay here and finish your meal. I can handle preparing the bed," Ken responded. "Are you sure?" she asked. "Yes, go ahead," he replied. Manang Minda and the other helpers didn't say anything and continued eating. Before I could speak, Manang Minda beat me to it, offering a warm smile before speaking. "He's really kind," she said, and I couldn't help but look up upon hearing those words from her. "Ken?" I questioned. "Yes, Ma'am," she replied. "Oh, please don't call me Ma'am; it sounds too formal and might make you feel uncomfortable," I requested. "Okay." "Let's just stick to calling me Ijha. To be honest, I don't know or remember my real name or last name, so calling me Ijha is fine for now, Manang Minda," I shared. I saw a tinge of sadness in their eyes upon hearing my words, and Manang Minda gently held my hand, causing me to lift my head up once more. "Don't worry; you'll remember everything again," she comforted me in those trying times. "Do you know that Sir Ken has been taking care of you and administering your medication?" she revealed. I froze upon hearing that from Manang Minda; it caught me off guard, as I thought she had taken me to the hospital for treatment. I couldn't help but ask about it. "Wait... Wait a minute. What do you mean?" I inquired. "What you heard is correct, Ijha. Sir has been caring for you from the hospital until you were transferred here to his Mansion," she explained. I was in disbelief at what Manang Minda shared, not expecting another thought to enter my mind at that moment. Could he be the one dressing me? Well, probably not, but before I could ponder on such thoughts, Manang Minda spoke again, seeming to notice the change in my thoughts. "He's the one dressing you, so you have nothing to worry about," she clarified. All the helpers chuckled at Manang Minda's statement, and I couldn't help but laugh too, realizing how absurd my thinking was. "I'm sorry, Manang Minda. I thought something else had happened," I confessed. "Sir is kind and wouldn't do anything to harm you; he asked me to assist you in such situations," she reassured me. "You're lucky to have a Professional Doctor like Sir Ken look after you," she added. I couldn't believe what I heard from Manang Minda, and I was deeply impressed by Ken at that moment. I thought how lucky I really was for him to give me importance and let me stay in his Mansion. I didn't know how to express my gratitude to him, but I knew that one day I would reciprocate all the kindness he showed me. Perhaps during those times, I would finally learn the truth about my identity and what truly happened to me.Related chapters

After we finished eating, Ken immediately came to my room to take me. I didn't want to bother him with carrying me, but I knew I couldn't refuse, knowing that I couldn't really refuse his help.Upon our arrival in my room, he gently laid me on the bed and sat beside me, opening up a conversation."Are you full?" he asked."Yes.""Great. In that case, get some sleep," he said, preparing to leave the room. However, I couldn't help but speak up, as I also wanted to talk to him and express my personal gratitude for all the help he had given me."Wait a minute..."He slightly paused upon hearing my voice, then turned to face me again."Do you need anything else?" he inquired."Not at the moment, but I just wanted to thank you for all the help you've given me," I replied."It's okay. No problem at all. Just focus on getting better so that you can fully recover," he reassured me."I just wanted to thank you personally because if it weren't for you, who knows what might have happened to me. I
The Revenge of Ellaine Chapter 5: The Grave of Ellaine
As Dave descended from his car, holding a bouquet of flowers, he walked slowly towards a grave site and gently placed the flowers down."How are you, Love? I hope you are happy wherever you are," he expressed as he sat on the grass and lit a candle."I miss you, Ellaine. I wish you were here to hear everything I say to you. But you know, Ellaine, ever since you were gone, it feels like a thorn pierced my heart; it's so painful for me to accept the truth that you're really gone. I often look for you because I miss the times when we were always together, especially the moments when we shared dreams for our future. It's a pity that just when we were close to getting married, that's when you left," Dave emotionally shared, tears flowing freely."Forgive me if I didn't do anything. I know it's painful for you to die without justice, but don't worry; I promise to do everything to give you the justice you deserve," he continued, the tears he had been holding back finally falling down."I for
The Revenge of Ellaine Chapter 6: Thinking of Her
After Dave dropped off Josephine at her house, he headed to meet his client at an upscale restaurant. When his client, Mr. Johnson, arrived, Dave respectfully greeted him and offered him a seat."Good morning, Mr. Johnson.""Good morning, Mr. CEO. Have a seat," Mr. Johnson replied, and they proceeded to order their meals."While waiting for our food, I just want to give you this renewal contract," Dave mentioned as he handed over the documents."Oh, thank you. I probably don't need to read it. Haha. I've signed your contract before, and I am very satisfied with your service, especially with Ellaine," Mr. Johnson mentioned Ellaine's name, which brought a hint of sadness to Dave as he remembered his fiancée."Yes, because of her, our business prospered, and it was because of her that we closed many deals, including yours," Dave responded, reminiscing about Ellaine's contributions."It's a shame that she passed away without receiving justice," Mr. Johnson expressed his thoughts."Yes, bu

After taking a deep breath, Dave stood up to talk to Josephine. "Could you please call me or have one of my helpers assist you before entering the house next time?" Dave requested, trying to remain calm. "Why are you looking at me like I'm a thief now?" Josephine reacted defensively. "It's not like that, Josephine, but you're already in my room, and this is my privacy. I'm just letting you know so that you won't do it again next time," Dave explained. "Okay, I'm really sorry if you were upset. I won't do it again, so you don't have to worry," Josephine apologized. "That's good to hear," Dave replied. Josephine went downstairs feeling a bit embarrassed by Dave's reaction. Dave followed suit, joining her at the dining table. "Have you had breakfast?" Dave inquired. "Yes..." "Are you mad?" "No." "You don't seem mad, but I hope you understand why I corrected you. I hope you understand that," Dave said. "I've always understood you since Ellaine's passing, so you don't have to
