“Stay here I’ll call them out so we can go.” Rose said as I nod and sigh.
I wait there still thinking about what Rose and I plan to do at the reception of my brother’s wedding after the ceremony. It will be exposing for me but I have to do it since this is the only first time a wedding in our family is as grand as Rafael and Susanah, not even my sister Arsey got married wearing wedding gowns and such, they got married traditionally with their normal clothes. I am surprised when I heard a camera shutter. I look up to see Rose taking a photo of me.
“What’s that for?” I ask suspiciously at her as she looks at her cellphone.
“For my photo album, I’ll go and call the others.” Rose said as she smiles and turns towards my uncle’s house.
I sigh as I stand there feeling so nervous and cold with this off-shouldered gown then I hear
“Hello, who is this?” I said as I see Clide and Zyrem coming out of the house and walks towards me.I just sigh when they walk towards me and stand beside me with their usual butler gestures. I just shake my head still can’t wrap in my thought that I have some butlers that are as handsome as them and that I am an heiress of a rich family… when all my childhood that I spent in here I have to do everything just to survive like working in the farm, doing house chores, carrying heavy things like drinking water that we need to fetch in a stream a little far from the house, and studying so hard just to find a much better job than staying here forever. Then now…… I still feel like I am just dreaming of everything. My simple, hard and boring life had changed completely in just a snap of a finger. It is just like a fairytale story but then…… for me it is like it is turning into a horror tale. 
As we slowly walk towards the crowd of the people who will walk into the church I can hear people talking, I see some of my cousins as Anna and other relatives looking our way with that certain weird look on their faces.“Anna, can we take a picture?” Pam my cousin said and I smile at her.Pam came to my side and wraps her arms over my shoulders as her sister Mabell positioned to take our picture. Pam smiles at me and wave before she left and walks inside the church followed by her sister.“Come on Anna we should get ready.” my partner Allan who is also my cousin said as I just nod and sigh.I take off Clide’s trench coat that I am wearing and my black sling purse. I hand it to Zyrem who returned again when I called to him before my mama could guide them inside the church with Rose. I hand it as I watch him walk into the church with the others. I rub my gow
“This house has rules, if you can obey the rules you can stay and if not… just leave.” I said still looking directly at Henry with my annoyed and frustrated gaze before I turn to look at my laptop screen.I can feel that silence as I stare at my empty monitor with only the word Project Proposal is written. I know I need more help but from Henry…… it might be impossible when I feel this certain annoyance and anger to him and his so-called fling, I don’t even know why I feel like this towards them but who cares right. I know Rose brought him here to help me but I am just so tired and stress out with this and then seeing him… I might just end up pouring my annoyance and anger on him even if he is not doing anything.“Okay, lay them all down.” Rose said as she smirks seeing my mischievous grin while looking at Henry.“Hmnn are you sure you can real
“Henry I need your help with doing the written report. I hate reports especially writing them.” I said making Rose laughs as Henry just nod.“Zyrem, Clide we will need a wider space since we will be having some people over to help so kindly clear-up the area. I hope they can make it without letting anyone know that they are coming here. Rose and I will be going out for a while so you will have the space to do what I asked. I will appreciate it so much.” I said directly as I take off my t-shirt automatically making the 3 men turn with red faces.Rose just laughs as I change my clothes. It’s late when I realize that I am not alone in the boarding house like before that is why I suddenly take off my t-shirt. I just acted casually since I don’t want them to see that I was embarrassed about what I did. Luckily when I take off my t-shirt I am wearing a thin pink top. I sigh and walk towards my room
“There she is catch her, stupid idiots!” I heard a man’s shout and I look back to see those 4 men running after me.I run and run in a direction I don’t know all I care about is to get away from them for a little while so I can think of what to do. When I am tired I hide on a big tree as I peek to see that the 4 men running after me are looking around to look for me.“Go there and I’ll go here. Catch her or I’ll catch your heads!” the angry man said as 2 runs to the other side and 2 to the opposite side.I am breathing heavily when a man suddenly grabs me from behind. I tried so hard to struggle but since I am so tired, disoriented, and still can’t think straight not to mention that his arm around my waist is so hard I am unable to resist.“Gotcha kitty, where do you think you’re going? Don’t worry, daddy Ben will t
“You are dress differently but please everyone. Let us see what my granddaughter can present to us. Zam, you may proceed.” my grandfather said with authority making the whole room silent.With the authority and conviction, my grandfather said so it is understandable why everyone feels so threatened by his words. I had noticed that just by staying by his side. He is like a tamed lion that just suddenly become vicious in seconds. I nod and look at Mera who walks towards me. Mera is so sophisticated now with her business attire with her hair twists in a bond in her head and her blue skirt and black stiletto heels. On the other hand, I am just wearing a long sleeve pink with off-shoulder cleavage, skinny jeans, and D'Arcy shoes with my hairs hanging on my back. I heard a gasp on the last aisle.“Mera!” a gasp and soft voice of a woman utters in surprise upon seeing Mera.I look at my fri
I am awakened by voices – an angry voice I must add. I see myself lying on a white bed with a white surrounding. Some machines are attacked my body and I see this IC catheter connected to my wrist. I feel too weak and I can smell that foul scent of medicines hospitals emit.“Torture those men and get them to talk! Who dared do this to my granddaughter? I can’t let this slide after just finding her.” I can hear grandpa’s angry voice from behind the closed door of the room I am in.I take off the oxygen mask in my mouth and slowly sit in the bed. I look around the place trying to regain my strength.“Calm down father, your heart.” The soft soothing voice of my mom calms my grandpa who sounded so furious.They went silent for a minute and I heard some footsteps.“Victorio my friend how is she?” I heard Mr. Lind&rsqu
After Mera finished dressing my wound I am pushed into the closet to change. I nearly forgot that I am just wrapped in a towel.“Zam, we will be downstairs.” Mera said as I listen to them from inside my closet and wear something warmer.“Okay, see you there. Ah! Cole?” I said remembering what my parents told me.“What?” a cold voice answered from behind the door.“Can you please stay for a while? I have something I want to tell you.” I said but I heard no reply making me feel odd.What do you expect from the ever-cold Cole? I then heard the door closed. The heck! Did that ice-cold princess leave when I asked him to stay?“Cole! Cole!” I keep on calling at him when I hear no more voices and no reply.I am starting to get annoyed, what a sicko. He has no manner at all
I smile on my reflection seeing myself. I am wearing a mask so my face is different. I have pinkish lips, blonde hair or wig, an elongated nose, and I’m wearing bluish contact lenses. I look at Mera on the other side just for us to smile cunningly. She is also wearing a mask and a jet black wig with reddish highlights; she is wearing grey contact lenses, and she is dressed in this lovely lavender off-shoulder gown with hanging straps on her shoulders but with a tube-like cleavage showing her lovely necklace. Her wig is in a lovely twist and is designed with flowers. I am wearing the same gown but my wig is hanging freely on my sides but is fixed on my head with lovely flowers and pins. Mera and Zam are supposed to be one of the bridesmaids but we are going there disguised.“So Mera, are you ready?” I ask as I walk towards her as Zyrem and Clide stand on the side waiting for the command to what they will do next.
After almost months of dating and being in a relationship, my brother Ezzar decided to propose to Carol who happily said yes. Unfortunately, Carol’s parents are so against their relationship. My brother is starting to get depressed so when my sister Daisy called me and accidentally told me about it I fly back as soon as possible. Especially when I found out how they threaten my brother to never see Carol and they lock Carol at home so they will never meet. That is when I called the help of the three people I know who can help me. They met me right in the airport and we ride towards the Stanleys’ house as soon as I arrive so I have jetlag the time I arrive at the airport mixed with my frustration with how they treated my brother.‘Hmnn so this is their house, not so bad. So that is why they had the guts to threaten my brother that way.’ I utter in my mind as I look at the mansion gate while I roll down the window of the
“So what do you plan to do now Lady Zarianne?” a woman in the crowd asks as I sigh.“Well, that is also the other reason why we called everyone for this party. After unmasking Miss Z it will NOT be fitting if I will continue working this business under a false identity. After all, it had served its purpose so… I think it is time for me to give my plans closure. I will be leaving the management of Z Prime Corporation to someone I trusted. Miss Daisy Marcelo, can you come up here as well as Mr. Michael Adamson.” I said and everyone looks around as I can see my sister and Michael looking as baffled as they walk up to the stage beside me.“These two are my trusted friend and employee. Miss Marcelo here is my secretary and Mr. Adamson is a friend of mine. I will be giving the position of Company President to Miss Marcelo and the position of being the Executive Assistant to Mr. Adamson. I am sure
I take a deep breath before I look at everyone who is looking at me worriedly. I nod at them and they sigh.“Let them in Zyrem, thank you.” I stated as the others sigh and start to stand and walk out of the living room meeting Austin ad Marlon who look as terrible and sad as my parents stayed by my side worried about what the brothers will do to me.We wait as they both walk in looking so pale and weak unlike when we first met. Marlon’s smug and arrogant look is not gone and he looks like a sleepless stressed person from having too many problems. Austin looks like he is hanging on but he looks as bad as his brother. I sigh as I look at them as they stop before us.“Please take a seat.” I said softly as I look at them.They silently s
“Ahmmnn you knew… you are kissing your cousin right? Mind backing a little.” we look towards the door to see Henry, Rafael, Daisy, Mera, my parents, and grandfather who are looking at us really weird.“Oppss you got us.” I said as I start laughing as Mere smirks at me and Cole looks at me rubbing his nape as he looks down unable to look at my parents and grandpa.“Hey you guys do not scare Cole, will you? And to be honest we are not blood-related. I guess we have a winner on that competition you had set before grandpa.” I said with a silly smile on my lips as they look at me as Cole look at me unable to comprehend.“Ah that competition, I supposed I can’t go against your decisions, my brave princess. After all, I already said that whoever yo
I roll over and look up at the sky as I can feel my wound aching. Things went really fast and here I am lying on this rooftop tired and wounded. I am slowly losing my blood and I can hear ringing over my head. I close my eyes and laugh at the irony of this all. When I open my eyes I froze seeing his face.“Stay with me. Don’t you dare close your eyes.” he screams as I can feel his hand covering my gunshot wound over my chest.“Medic!” he screams as some medic came rushing in to dress my wound.“Hey, hey look at me. Stay with me.” he screams as I look at him and slowly reach his face.“You… You crazy jerk stop screaming. My head is ringing and what are you talking about. I was always with you… foo
“She is fine but…… she is shot on her shoulder, slight wounds from the car crashing and- and the doctor said that her operation went well but she is still unconscious. We just returned to tell you this then get her something clean to wear and to let you guys be alert. Jake, Rafael, and I will go and see her in the hospital but you guys just keep going into the missions. I feel so bad.” Rose said as she sits on the sofa looking so burdened.“What- What had happened?” Michael said and Jake look at them before he sighs.“We got blocked and rained with gunshots. I tried making the car run backward as fast but we crashed into another van behind us. We tried to run out but we were surrounded by those men. Rose- Rose was about to be shot but Z pushed her away and she got shot ins
“Marlon, please stop this. What on earth are you doing? This is not going to solve anything. It will just make things difficult for us.” Austin said as he looks at his twin brother who identically looks like him but they are too different in style and characters.“Shut it Austin! You heard it as well. That man said that this BITCH is the one responsible for what happened to us and who paid someone to kidnap us and destroy our parents’ business. We are living now in a small God-forsaken rental house all because of her.” Marlon said as he looks at me looking so angry with his red eyes, messy look, and terrible drunken state.“But we have no proof that it is her doing. All we have are that man’s accusations.” Austin said as his brother look at him but st
“Cole is here, right?” I said and she looks at me with a smile as Rose nods.“Yap I think so, we did invite him here so I supposed he is here.” Rose said as her eyes scan the room.“Ah, there he is. Classy and cold as always but damn…… he sure is handsome and masculine.” Rose said as she looks at Cole who is standing with his friends on the side wearing this lovely black suit and his hair all brushed really well.“Perfect, tell the boys I want him in the women’s comfort room now, time to talk with him.” I said and Rose nods then she smiles cunningly before she texts someone with her cell phone.We waited for a few moments when her cell phone rings then she answered it and she smiles at me and nod. I can see that scary s
