Kate was trying to hide her pain and maybe injury from Nick that she kept her body in a curling position. But Nick did not hesitate to lift her like a sack of potatoes in his shoulder, walked, and laid her down on the couch in his dad's study room. 

They were already by its door when Kate caught up with Nick as he was heading to it and Kate wanted to ask something. 

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Kate panicked when Nick throw her to his shoulder and walked towards the study room. 

"I will say you are if you are after I check on it," Nick glared at her. "Now stay still or I will forget about the deal we discussed earlier."

Kate could no longer retort. She was really in pain but she was afraid to look even more stupid in Nick's eyes, so she said she was fine. Now that Nick is obviously annoyed, Kate wanted to curse herself for being so clumsy. She was so eager to hand him her class schedule that she aimlessly ran to her room. She did

    Nick would usually drive to school, but he decided to take a cab this time. He won't make it to focus driving when he needs to do some things in multitasking. He checked his phone for Kate's class schedule and tried to remind her never to be meek in front of her bullying schoolmates.Nick decided to send her a message as she might already be busy by now. Besides, he doesn't call her. It would be weird if he starts doing so.Nick: "Don't let anyone bully you, or I will tell your mom what happened at home yesterday. Fight if you have to, physical or verbal. Do not let other people push you around, do you understand?!"No reply.Nick: "Tell me if anything happens. You may not have my father's last name, but your mom is his wife. You defend yourself, and you also defend the family."Nick did not want to make his concern sound ambiguous, so he used the family as a chopping board. He was hoping his motivations and warnings would wor

  • The Wild Adventures   Calling for her Guardian

    "Yes. May I know who is calling?" Nick politely asked.He knew it was a number from the school, but he wasn't sure who was calling. The seriousness of the situation will depend on who is calling him if it has anything to do with Kate being in trouble."This is the Principal of the Rosa Parks High School," the principal wasn't sure if the Nicholas Eudovic that he knew and this man over the phone is the same person, so he did not mention knowing a person with the same name. "Are you the guardian of Kate Taylor?""Yes. Is she alright?" Nick asked abruptly.The principal was taken aback to realize the guardian was not angry about his student being in trouble. He sounded worried about her safety instead. The old man cleared his throat and glanced at Kate, who was still sitting properly on a chair in the Principal lounge."She is alright. But not the student she had trouble with," the principal answered.

  • The Wild Adventures   Concerned but Strict

    Nick sat properly across from where Kate was sitting with her head bowed down. The Principal asked for anything Nick would like to drink, but the young Eudovic politely declined. As Kate's guardian, Nick was eager to find out what had happened more than anything right now. So, Principal Johnston sat at the head of the table and started to ask."Kate Taylor, can you tell us what happened?" asked Francis formally.Nick was silently watching Kate. He was trying to check if she was injured or hurt in any way, but he could not make his concerns known just yet, not in front of Kate herself. Kate looked at Nick first, as if she was asking if it was okay to speak. Nick nodded. Seeing his approval, Kate sat up straight and spoke with due politeness and respect. "Andrew has been annoying me ever since he saw me in the morning. I tried to avoid him, but he won't listen to whatever I said. He harassed me, so I kicked his ass," Kate spoke with her head still down as she was loo

    "You shouldn't be too strict on her," Francis gently spoke when Kate was gone. "According to her teachers whom I have called to ask about her usual behavior and personality, she is well-mannered and polite and not even a shade of what this Andrew Kindberg said about her which I assumed anger Kate Taylor and ending up breaking his arm in the process," he explained thoroughly. Nick smiled when he heard about the Principal trying to clear Kate's personality to him as the guardian. "I know that very well, Sir," he politely replied. "I am even proud she can protect herself, but I cannot let that show. She might go overboard if she notices my honest reaction," Nick chuckled as he made known to the Principal his opinions. "Do you mind if I ask, who is Kate Taylor to you?" Francis cautiously stated. "But no need to answer if you don't want to. I can't help but curious, you know," he snorted. The two men shared soft laughter, an

    "Huh?!" Kate was startled to hear Nick ask. She thought only her nose heard what her mouth said. How come Nick's ear did when she isn't even sure her own ears heard them? This man is so scary. You can never hide anything from him! "Weren't you saying anything?" Nick asked again. "Mhmm... nnnno...thing..."Kate stammered. She just hopes her face is convincing enough to satisfy him that she meant what she just said. She cannot tell him what she murmured a while ago, no matter if he strangled her to say it out loud, anyway. "We are going to speak to a lawyer. I suggest you say everything that would be helpful to solve this issue," Nick did not look at her as he spoke. He knew she was walking behind him, so he informed her of where they were going next. Kate felt even smaller in front of Nick with how he can manage and deal with everything son smartly. He took her to the company. The lawyer came te

  • The Wild Adventures   Everything happens for a reason

    The two curled in their sleep. Facing but not seeing each other. They both had a sleepless night the before today. One had difficulty sleeping, knowing the other was mad and upset about her, while the other could not sleep because he had been digging everything to protect the girl he cherishes the most in the world. They were too close but yet too far. They are both at an arm's length, but they cannot stretch their arms to reach out. All with and due to different reasons. Reasons which for now seem so blurred to see a clear picture of what the future has in store for them. But unknown to both, their situation is what brings them closer together. While they were sleeping like babies, Kelly was waiting at home for Kate to be back. Kelly had been calling her on her phone, but as it was on full silent mode, with no sounds and even vibration, which Kate would do when she goes to school

    Kate nodded her reply. She has at least five minutes more left to think about her answer. As Kate gave it a more profound thought, she realized Nick had a point. Letting her mom know about what really happened today will sadden her that Kate is being bullied at school. She might even know the extent of her misdeeds about having a boyfriend and inviting the guy to their home when her mom was not around. Kate was even more afraid of Kelly finding out that Kate had made out with her so-called boyfriend that time he came over to their home right at their very own living room. Kate knocked her head. She silently cursed herself for her stupidity. Lucky for her, Nick came, or she wouldn't know how far they could have gone with how persistent Andrew was and how pathetically weak she had been. The car stopped. Nick looked to his side. He saw Kate still had her face covered by both her palms. "We have to get inside now. What h

    Nick teased Kate. But Kate didn't want to believe him. She was still dazed from that good few hours of nap that she had. She is actually finding it hard to believe that Nick is being playful with her.Nick, on the other hand, was feeling guilty when he recalled that Kate was sad in her sleep because she thought Nick hated her. He wanted to make her feel she was wrong to think so, but his words may find it hard to come out of his stubborn mouth to tell her. His strained playfulness would send the message better if he is not mistaken."Do you wanna know what you said in your sleep?" Nick pretends to defend that he is not a lair. Although he was not lying, he feigned to feel annoyed that Kate makes it sound that he is lying. So he wanted to prove to her his words. Again, pretentiously."What did I say?" Kate glared at Nick. She was trying to hide her embarrassment by glaring at him quickly. She could not let her glare last even more than ten seconds as she worried her faci

    “What’s wrong? What happened?” Mavie asked, baffled as the man suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist and he cried pitifully. Mavie looked at the patient on the bed, there was nothing unusual. His heartbeat was normal, and he looked just the way he used to be a coma patient. “What is going on? Please tell me….” Mavie answered assuringly. Trying to calm her Master to the best of her ability. She was also starting to feel scared because she had never seen this brave man act the way he was at that moment. Judas told her everything that he had seen his grandpa did except the part where he mentioned Mavie as his girl. But as he tried to ask again to show Mavie, the old man on the bed did nothing similar to what Judas was excitedly telling Mavie. “Mister Dinero, it’s me, Mavie. Do you recognize me?” Mavie asked casually, speaking to her patient like she would usually do. But the patient’s eyes did not move like Judas said they did. They tried again. Nothing. “I asked him a few q

    As for Mavie, she was actually brave only because she knew some of her Master's men were around to protect her. But she was not going to rely everything on them. She will fight on her own if someone comes trying to bring her down. Mavie admits that her bravery was also because she was more than confident that her Master was not going to let her be bullied other than him. Like Judas would tell her most of the time; "You are my slave. I am your only Master. No one is allowed to order you around other than me. Not even a bully aside from me."So she did not fear to act accordingly, protecting herself when someone tried to intimidate her with violence. But she did not want to let the matter get worse. Mavie tried to deal with what happened in her own way."Mister Ray, please do not tell my Master about what happened today. I don't want him to get mad or worry about me. He already has so much to handle. I do not wish to add to the things that would bother him about me."Mavie begged Ray o

    Days went on. Days became weeks. Weeks turned to months, and months became a year. A lot of things happened. Joaquin Dinero, Mavie's patient, passed away in his nap with Judas and Mavie right beside him. His body had seemed to reject the medications, and in Judas' dreams, his grandpa spoke to him that he was too tired and wanted to join his wife in peace. Ever since then, the grandson was torn between the sadness to let his grandpa go, and another sorrow that he was refusing to grant the last, one and only wish the old man seemed to have asked of Judas, the grandson. It was not even a wish done like every ordinary people would do. It was like asking Judas to let his grandfather die. And the way of asking such a wish was through a dream which Judas could not find in his heart to fully believe until he realized that every medical procedure and treatment they tried to provide the old Dinero did not seem to have any positive effect. But, of course, the grandson did not give up. Mav

    Mavie did not want to disobey her employer so she ate the oatmeal although she was not a fan of eating it. She had to take some meds to get better very soon so she could do her tasks, and so she did everything her Master had ordered her. The medicine had an effect to make her feel sleepy so even if she did not want to sleep, thinking it was rude when her employer was around, her body was not able to fight against the medicine’s effect. Without her knowing, she had a good sleep and rested, when she woke up, she felt way much better. It was almost like she had never had any cramps earlier that day. “What are you doing?” Judas asked when he heard some noises from the kitchen while he was checking the monitors all around the house, his and his grandpa’s, his business building, and everything that was going on in his operations. By having an eye directly able to see everything in and out of his business establishments, Judas can easily handle problems even when he is afar. “Ahmm, I am s

    Just as Judas had ordered, the lady doctor was able to speak with Ray, but the doctor suggested that the patient be brought to the hospital for a proper check-up. “At the clinic, we have everything we might need in order to make sure everything is accurate, unlike when we do it on house calls. It would be best to have her womb checked through an abdominal or vaginal ultrasound.” Ray relayed the message to his boss. Judas was silent for a while. He had to think of a way to keep everything in safety. There were a few things Judas had to consider whatever he might decide to do in his predicament. “Ray, I want you to check who gave me the first call with an unregistered number today. Can we make it quick? I want to bring Mavie to the hospital, but I am worried about leaving grandpa behind,” Judas stated with a dark face. Ray knew that look. As the assistant for the mafia don for quite a while now, he had learned to read between the lines, hear unspoken statements, and read his boss’ m

    "Master….?" Mavie called out softly. Mavie was not so sure she was allowed to address the man the way they had agreed. She was confused if their arrangement also applied while she was on work duty or on the weekdays, now that they both realized they were also employee and employer aside from being slave and Master. But calling the man master was not something she felt awkward about at all, so when she noticed the man did not seem to mind her way of addressing him, Mavie continued to ask what she had in her thoughts. "How was the result from the test we did last Sunday with the doctor?" Judas was not sure if this girl was playing a silly game or if she was really unaware of such facts about the human reproductive system. But when he looked at Mavie's frail mien, Judas' gaze lowered and continued to clean his grandpa's teeth and gums with the soft and wet cloth. Just the way he saw on the security surveillance camera how Mavie would do such tasks of keeping the patient feeling fresh

    “Master….?” Mavie did not expect to see the man, but instead of surprise, a faint smile was visible on her face. If there was someone Mavie wished to see at the very moment, it was no other than this person. The only person she had been thinking of with so much longing to see again, spend time with, no matter what reasons fate had to bring them together. “Master, is it really you?” Mavie asked again but in a soft whisper. Judas had so many scenes played in his mind of how this moment would turn out to be in reality to have a slight idea; if he cannot be accurate, so he would know how to explain and clarify his identity to Mavie. He had expected her to be surprised, first of all. If not, she should be scared o upset, but among all the possibilities his mind had conceived, Judas was baffled to see an exact opposite to what he had supposed Mavie would have reacted. “I had hoped the names of my slave and the hired carer for my grandpa would be one and the same person,” Judas hid his a

    Ray started to check the packaging label of the item. He had a picture from Mavie’s stocks and the products that were on the racks. “They have the same packaging, right?” Ray held the pack and showed it to Judas. “This item is the same as the one in this picture, right, boss?”The cashier was watching the only customers he had in the store in the wee hours of the night; two men, as they chose items on the shelves. The store worker was not confident to walk closer and offer his assistance because he noticed they were on a section he was not very knowledgeable about. He was a man, after all, so he did not know much about sanitary pads. He was confident he could assist them, but only if they wanted to pay for their purchases. Because f they were going to ask anything else about the item, the worker was not ready to answer any questions. But if they still chose to approach him, he would just tell them to check the prints on the packaging. That’s all he could to help. Soon enough, two da

    Ray was startled when he noticed his boss got into a car parked right outside the gates. Judas had ordered one of his men to bring a vehicle outside his gates and had its engine started because he would be leaving soon. And it was right where Judas asked it to be when they walked out of his grandpa's house. "Boss…?" Ray called for Judas' attention with hesitations. "What?" Judas asked as he fastened his seatbelt, seated right next to Ray, who was sitting behind the wheels. "I'm going to buy the pads and a serving of warm porridge. You can take your rest. I can handle this," Ray answered cautiously. "I have no doubt you can. I am even amazed you don't seem bothered that you are going to buy such items for a woman. Personal, if I may add," Judas said casually. "I don't think you're that kind of guy…." Judas could not say his words exactly. The Mafia Don was also cautious not to offend Ray's feelings if he happened to be wrong in his thoughts. They do not have much of an age differe
