2024-10-29 19:42:56I entered the room with my heartbeats already on my throat. Gathering the kind of courage I never knew before, I wore a half-smile on my lips as I beat the board of directors' intimidating stares with my outward confidence. I realize how silly I was. The things these people do were beyond my comprehension. Give me surgical blades and other sets; I might have the full confidence to cut into a human's head and solve a problem, but not with these kinds of people who could kill you with their lethal gaze.
The lawyer stood up while I was yet halfway to my seat. He bowed down with a polite smile, and I got surprised. It was only yesterday when he got so angry that he looked like a beast, ready to devour me.
"Good morning, Dr. Grey!" he said while ushering me to my seat. He then pulled a chair next to him and waited for me to settle down before he left.
He then stood at the edge of the long table and cleared his throat before he spoke.

"I'll do the same," said the other one, and this declaration hit everyone's mind like a domino effect."Unless Mr. Grey assures us in person, I couldn't allow gambling our investor's interest on some newbie."I felt like breaking down upon their distrust of me, but I could not blame them. Even if my grandfather or Sean may be the dominant controlling shareholder,they knew I was a doctor and had not been into any business before. These people were wise and experienced business magnates--some were even shareholders--and they were elected to see the company investors' overall interest."Calm down, everyone!" Atty. Evarez spoke, silencing the clamor that had started to break out. "It seems everyone has got the wrong impression. Dr. Red is here with us as someone who would go hand in hand with Mr. Grey. Is it not a fact, ladies and gentlemen, that when a man falls in love and gets his inspiration, he gets more efficient?""You're right, Atty. Evarez, but

"Eric, why are you here?" The embarrassment I felt must have prevailed over my surprise of seeing him again. And perhaps, it marked on the sudden change of my expression."To see you, of course," he answered, smiling. Something I never remembered when I was still with him.The more I had come to believe that I was his mere sex toy because I had never been with anyone else. Eric was highly meticulous, and he couldn't just do sex with anyone he came across with. I am sure that every woman he slept with was all untouched by other men yet, just like my best friend.He may have flirted with lots of women, especially during social gatherings, but that was all because he wanted to boost his pride. But those he brought to his bed must be all inexperienced.Why am I sure about that? It was because he made me swear I was telling the truth during that first night I gave myself to him. He couldn't just suck the nectar between a woman's leg if

I stared at Eric and tried to read what's in his mind. Is he making all these efforts to come after me because of the business?"Don't misunderstand me, dear. I don't care about your business, especially that it comes from the hands of a rival. For me, whatever he holds brings bad luck to me. I admit, I wanted to collaborate with him in the past but not anymore this time."I smirked. How could he accuse Sean ofbringingbad luck? TAG wouldn't be this big without him."Don't say that. I have deeper reasons why I broke off with Sean. My family owes Sean the success of the business. If it were not for him, TAG Corporation wouldn't go this far. And what right do you have to say that he's bringing bad luck?""It's my belief and opinion. And everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, aren't we?Nothing would ever change this impression I have on him."I shrugged my shoulders and dismissed the topic. Th

I felt my strength leaving me as I felt the cold metal in my temple. I could not understand what was going on, but what came to my mind was that these men were probably President Ric's hired men."What do you what from us?" I glared at the man who was poking his gun at me.I then rolled my eyes sideways to peer at the driver, wanting to see his reaction. I was thinking he was an accomplice, sending me into a kidnap-for-ransom set-up. However, I got surprised. The driver was shivering in fear, his color draining from his face."Just follow us silently if you don't want to get hurt.""Who is the mastermind behind this?" I bravely asked, mustering all the courage I could get to maintain a sound mind. I pretended unintimidated."Keep your mouth shut. You won't get an answer anyway," the man roared in my ear as I stepped out of the car; his pungent smell turned my guts inside out.I ran to the side of the street as I was about to thro

The man who drove the car walked by my side, holding a gun in his hand, while the other two walked behind us. I was careful not to look at my back because I might appear suspicious. I didn’t want to get hurt. However, I let my eyes register the surroundings' landmarks hoping that I could find a way to get out of here. However, all I could see were tall shrubs and trees.The man then opened the door, and an elegant interior greeted my eyes. It didn’t match the outer façade at all. The design looked outdated, and the paint had already faded that the house looked deserted. Aside from that, the iron gate that was painted with black looked rusted. The screeching sound as it opened even irritated me, making me cover my ears.I let my eyes wander off to the entire living room. It had all the necessary appliances and furniture. And it all looked new! Aside from that, the room was clean, and everything was neatly arranged.“Bring her to the room!

I happened to see Eric flashing a quick, wicked grin that I felt so humiliated. I cried hard so much after he pulled away from me and no matter how he coaxed me, his touch felt like a smoldering iron to my skin. He stopped appeasing me in the end, seeing that all his effort was futile. I didn’t expect he had this patient side of him.To get away from him, I picked up my clothes and went to the adjoining bathroom. I was glad there was a tub so I could soak in the lukewarm water, but I was afraid Eric would join me there. He used to achieve multiple orgasms and he wouldn’t stop with just one round.I decided to have a quick shower and I put a thick, soap lather all over my body. I felt so sick at the thought of his tongue licking every part of my body as if I was a piece of meat he long wanted to have. I reapplied another thick lather angrily after I washed it out until I heard a gentle knocking at the door. I did not realize I already took so long.Op

I slammed a fist on the table, making Eric jolt from his seat. The bowl of soup shook, spilling its content on the table. Eric’s expression turned sour as he looked at the mess, but he was quick to stand up and pulled a cleaning rag. Eric was the most meticulous person I ever knew. If this happened in the past, his mouth would have been non-stop in nagging.“Don’t ever dare to accuse anyone if you have no evidence!” I howled in anger, and all those pent up emotions I had on these last few days seemedto accumulate again.“Really, Red? After everything he has done to you, you still have the heart to defend him?“Whatever he does is none of your business!”“Yes. it’s none of my business if it doesn’t affect you in any way.”“Shut up. And whatever we had in those five years has already ended," I snarled, feeling creepy at his sweet talk. The hair on my skin stood on its

To my delight, I pulled my robe and rushed to the bathroom. I turned the water heater on and did a quick shower. I just couldn't bear to have Eric's handprints onmy body. Proceeding to the sink afterward, I brushed my teeth a lot of times, desperate to wash off the trails of his kisses inside my oral cavity. Still not contented with just a toothpaste, I gargled several times with a mouthwash."Red, why are you taking so long?" Eric knocked on the door, but after a while of not answering, he slid the glass door and went inside. I also hurried to sit on the toilet bowl."No! Don't get inside. I'm suddenly having a stomach upset," I answered wincing in pain, pressing my stomach in a guarding-like act.He furrowed his brows while looking at me sitting on the toilet bowl."Go out, you wouldn't like the smell."Eric hurriedly turned around and went out. While I could check the character of stools in a patient's diapers

"This is a mistake," I said, breaking the silence and awkwardness. "Because you thought that another man is coming in?" he said, and his lips broke into a tender smile. He strode fast towards me, then wrapped me right away in his arms. "I miss you, babe," he said in a hoarse voice, hugging me tighter. "I missed you so much." "You have no right to say that. In the next few hours, you will already have a new bride." Sean then held me at arm strength and looked into my eyes. "Mia?" "Who else?" I replied, my voice startingto crack. "My mother has long adopted Mia as my little sister. I'm sorry for not telling you this because it was part of the plan to mislead President Ric and his allies." My goodness! I felt like a candle, melting in too much shame. "I have always told you that there's no one else in my heart, long before I found you." Sean cupped my face, and when he was about to bend his h

I furrowed my brows while I took the paper bags from her hands."Dr. Mia would like you to be there at her garden wedding this afternoon."I froze in my seat, unprepared to take the big blow. Sean and Mia are getting married today? Why hasn't she told me about it? Is she afraid to break the news to me because I am sick?I felt a lump sticking inmy throat, summoning the floodgates of tears behind my eyes to open up. I chuckled loudly, but my tears trickled endlessly that I couldn't brush them enough with the back of my index fingers."Look, Dr. Red, the garden is already ready," the nurse said as she walked towards the glass wall, peeping throughthe narrow slits betweenthe curtains.I jumped off the bed after a while then sauntered towards the glass wall. A beautiful flower garden greeted my eyes, and there were rows of chairs and tables indeed, wrapped in cream and burgundy pleated skirts.I scanned the place furth

I ran to the window and parted the curtains to the side. I looked over the direction of the Kalasag Hill, and just as I anticipated, I saw black clouds of smoke rising from the forest. Instead of losing my strength in fear, I felt an adrenaline rush from within me. I stormed out of the room, and without heeding the manager's yells, I ran towards the direction of the forest.I felt within me a prodigy of strength that none of the resort’s staff was able to stop me. Not long after, I heard the sound of the galloping horse’s hooves.“Ma’am, hop in!” the manager yelled at me while I moved to the side to give way.I saw him pulling short both the reins. Then he braced one hand on the horse’s neck, holding the rein tightly and grabbing its mane. Raising the other rein up and back, he then pulled it toward his shoulder.The manager then got off quickly from the horse as soon as it pulled to a stop. Without waiting for his inst

"Thanks, God! You're finally awake!"I shut my eyes back when the blinding light of the sun entered my eyes. I then opened them slowly until I got adjusted to the glare. I stared at the woman who stood by the bedside, brushing the tears in her eyes with the back of her hand."Mia?" I exclaimed, my eyes glowed at the sight of my rival in my love for Sean."Why are you here?"Her lips trembled right away, and her eyes welled with tears. "You scared us so much, especially Sean. I got so worried that he might not be able to handle his grief."I furrowed my brows as I gathered back my thoughts on what happened before I drifted off to sleep. The ache on my back, the muscle pain, and my grogginess told me I had been in bed for days. Then, I remembered I was running after Sean and ended on escaping from the president through the cave. And I recalled everything that followed after that. A bronco bug bit me, and Philip's voice was the last thing I heard befo

The manager gestured with his hand to let me follow him to the elevator. Once we were there, he took me to the seventh floor. He waited until I stepped out before he came up by my side. Then he led me to a room at the end corner of the floor. It had mechanical locks that seemed difficult to break in, but the manager keyed in the codes with deft fingers. In less than a minute, the door opened, and he led me inside.My eyes caught the huge screen right away, displaying multiple windows that showed different areas of the hotel. The manager then ran his fingers on the keys, and the lobby where the president and his men were dining,zoomed in.“Did you hear something from them that scares you?” he asked, turning his head to look at me.I just held his gaze, but I did not nod nor shake my head.“Is this the reason?” he asked again, and after some clicks, a window opened to an area by the outskirts of the forest.My eyes flew

I tuned in a sharp ear while I was sipping from my cup, listening to their conversation. Pretending to be occupied, I picked up a magazine from under the table. These men were just a few meters away from me, though a pillar blocked me from their view. I knew they saw me, but perhaps thinking I was harmless, they did not seem to mind my presence.“Have the troops arrived already?” one of the men asked, his voice louder than a whisper. But because of the deafening silence of the place, you can hear even a needle dropping.“Yes, they are already surrounding the forest of Kalasag.”“How far is it from here?”“It’s the next hill from here.”So, I am now in a resort close to Kalasag, Sean’s homeplace. Mr. Ian and all his allies must have brought me here to blackmail me into selling the other half of my shares by using Sean as a pawn. But of all places in the face of the earth, why does Mr. I

I got up from my bed and walked towards the window. Parting the curtains to the side, the blinding light of the sun piercing through the window panes made me close my eyes for a moment. I closed my eyes tightly then opened them slowly until I got adjusted to the glare. The moment I gazed into the distance, all I could see was the rich and sprawling greeneries below the wide canopy of the sky, animated by its sailing, fluffy clouds. From where I stood, it looked like I was on top of a hill overlooking the rolling stretch of farms and plain below.I then looked around the room. My huge bed satatop a carpeted floor under a chic ceiling design illuminated by white, LED lightings underneath a rectangular frame. Aside from a set of couches, a coffee table, and built-in lockers, only a set of television, a phone, and a refrigerator graced the room. But what caught my interest in being here was the glass walls that allowed me to see the spectacular views of the rows of trees, t

I couldn’t seem to imagine that my grandfather had other women. Perhaps, he did it while grandmother was still alive. But who am I to judge him anyway?“It was a short-term relationship with his secretary, back then. When your grandmother found it out, she almost left; but luckily, your grandfather was able to persuade her to save their marriage. From then on, he never had a female secretary, and that was how Philip came in.”“So, Philip was grandpa’s secretary?”“And Sean’s, when he passed away. He is your grandfather’s most trusted assistant.”My heart sank as I heard it. I still remembered how Philip affirmed Hazel’s confession about my real identity. If it were not for him, I would not have trusted Hazel’s claims. If it were not for him, I would not have come to believe that Sean was making lies all along.“Sadly, he has betrayed them,” I said, my lips tur

“Dr. Red, I just received a report that Prospero City is now on complete lockdown,” the pilot told me after I climbed into the plane after our last stopover for refueling and engine checks.“Is it because of the spread of the Bronc X virus?” I asked, stiffening in my seat; my eyes unblinking.“Your city is the only place negative of Bronc X infection,” the pilot replied while his hands were fumbling over some keys on the cockpit. “But it is heavily guarded since Mr. Sean Grey’s business establishments are there. No one is allowed an entry or exit for the moment.”My thoughts then went on Sean and I was wondering if this pilot beside me was the one who transported Sean to wherever he may be at this moment.“Is Sean in Prospero now?” I tried to sound dry, presuming that everybody already knew our status. And surely, this pilot who brought every dignitary to each of their destinations had also
