My whole family and past friends are enjoying the foods and games my sisters had organized. It seems like my parents rented the whole Good taste restaurant. We occupied the wide 6 floors as music and foods are laid on the tables with nice covers. I feel like entering a fairy tale upon the entrance. Everyone is looking at us while clapping and saying their greetings. I slowly slip away from the group of friends asking me some questions about who those new faces are. I walk towards the very edge where I can hide away from any attention.
“What are you hiding here for? This is your big day, congratulations by the way.” I turn to see Michael smiling at me.
He is wearing skinny jeans and a brown t-shirt that he covered with a brown leather jacket. He is wearing rubber shoes and his hair is perfectly gelled on his head. I just smile as I accept the flower he is handing me.
“Thank you, it's a good
“That is not right at all, father, she is just an outsider. She doesn’t even know how to manage the whole business.” Marz said angrily making me and Mera raise our eyebrows at him.“Did he just call you an outsider? HE who is not even blood-related? The nerve!” Mera said and I know everyone heard it too.I see how Marz and the others look at her angrily and they are about to speak when my father suddenly stands.“Marz, mind your words. All of us in here know WHO the REAL outsiders are, SHE is MY daughter. I AM Victorio Alvares Villaflor III’s REAL son; Zam is a full-blood Villaflor so you have no right to even call her an outsider. Don’t forget the position you are in Marz before you speak.” My father said firmly and for the first time I have seen him look so scary like now, I can see that everyone is also baffled but they remained silent.
“So…what is the plan now? I mean… we have been resting for how many days. I feel so useless now that we have nothing to do. I know mom and dad still want us to rest but I am so bored and tired of entertaining men every day.” I sigh as I sit on the bed then Beth walks towards the dresser and plugs the hairdryer before she walks behind me and dries my wet hair. After that, she leaves saying she will look into our breakfast.“Well, how about visiting your family companies so you can learn how it is managed?” Mera asks as I think about it.“It will be harder when men are flocking over me. I won’t be able to walk around freely if they keep on following me. Why did grandpa even think about this?” I said with a heavy sigh.“I guess he is thinking that your cousins will go after your heart and the threats will stop. I don’t think it will stop seein
“So… you can handle touring us in this place?” Mera said as the other leaves us while Cole is facing me and Mera.Zyrem and Clide are holding our bags behind us as they just silently look around looking to be watching out for any sign of trouble. We all walk past the baseball field since Cole is going to escort us first into the dorm where we will stay. I stop and watch the students playing and I smile remembering my high school days where I and my friends used to watch the player as we bet who is handsome, cute, and sporty.“Hmnn they are not bad.” Mera said as we watch the players who are being couched by their teacher who face us upon seeing us then bow.We now back at him then we continue walking as Zyrem and Clide are following behind us.“Zyrem and Clide it is best if you bring those bags into one of the dorm rooms for teachers and perhaps prep
“You suddenly arrive with a suitcase and you look so pale… are you okay?” Cole said and by saying the last he sounded too worried even how much he tries to look so emotionless.I smile at what he said, somehow I was right. Cole is a nice guy but he is pretending that he is not. I know his reasons but he looks so cute and handsome when he shows subconsciously shows emotions.“I am fine… I just want to take a break and a fresh air. Those guys coming almost every day is suffocating and I feel so bored doing nothing at the mansion. So, I thought coming here to annoy you is more fun than entertaining some guys I don’t really know of.” I said as he looks at me, we lock eyes for a few seconds before he looks away and hides his flushing face by clearing his throat.“Ahh, I see, to annoy me huh. That will be too easy for you and hard for me. Wait, have you forgotten that I am also
I and Zyrem walk out of the teacher’s dorm building to get some fresh air and roam around the school. We enter the wide-open swimming pool to see students on their swimming uniforms as they are trained into the swimming pool by their coach or teacher. The whole place is wide but many students are using each side of the pool for practice. I smile as I watch these 3 ladies swimming as if they are having a competition.“Woh! They are quite good.” I said as I look around the place as Zyrem just stands behind me.I smile at anyone who will look at us then great and bow. I sigh as I sit on a bench where the kids can place their things and bags but is empty. I smile as I watch them. I stand and smile as I look at the water in the pool.“This is really exciting. Look at those cute girls on their swimsuits and those boys on their swimming trunks. It looks like they are enjoying it. It makes m
“Milady, your cell phone.” Zyrem said handing me the cellphone that I use to play music.”Thanks Zyrem.” I said as I smile at him.I smile then take it and return my cell phone to my purse. I turn to Mera and smile as she nods and we walk out of the close swimming pool.“Where are we headed this time, Milady?” Clide asks as he and Zyrem follow behind me and Mera.“Hmnnn I don’t know this place is huge. Mera did Cole give you a copy of the school map. I kind of forgot the whole map plan is.” I said as I look around these buildings.Mera pulls a little booklet with a blue hardcover and the logo of the school on the cover from her jeans back pocket and hands it to me. I scan through the pages until I found the detailed map of the whole school.“Oh, here it is on the last page. Yuck! Small
“Do you think I am that low Zam? I walked away, didn’t I? I never wanted to be in that competition grandfather set for us. I am not a fool Zam… I know you are not to. Why did you come here? I tried walking away. It is your fault for making me feel THIS way again. I thought my heart died when Shania left me for someone richer. I thought I have to become rich so she will come back but time did heal and I started forgetting about her. YET, I keep on thinking about you then you kissed me. You are unfair Zam. You are not playing by the rules.” Cole said looking at my eyes and I swallowed when I see something different and honest from his eyes.I am about to say something when he kisses me again deeply making me unable to argue even more. I answer by kissing him back since I have no other choice but him pinning me down on the bed and on top of me. I push him again when I am losing my breath.“Cole
I feel my check burn when he suddenly looks at me and our eyes meet. He then faces me and steps closer to me making my heart beat even faster. I just froze on the spot as I wait for what he is about to do. He is so close to me now with the only distance between us is just inches.“Cole- Cole what are you…” I didn’t finish when he suddenly hold my chain with his fingers and look at me intensely making me feel as if a bucket of warm water is thrown all over me.“I am so happy you like it, I heard the owner is selling it to a lower price just so he can join his family in States. I bought it and immediately made the renovation. It got just finished and I want you to see it. What do you think?” Cole said as he smiles at me then step back and look at the house again making me sigh in relief since the closeness is suffocating me.He suddenly leans closer to me taking me off gua
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
