" A mechanic can't perhaps dress this way, " Gwen said. He needed to report to her office immediately because she was late.

She made a mischievous movement and left, she made sure not to draw the attention of the mysterious man.

Gwen was about to sneak into her office when Ricardo's door opened and he came outside.

Gwen felt like running back home.

" Good morning sir " Gwen greeted him.

" What are you doing here? " Ricardo asked her.

Before she could answer Scott and Barry walked towards them.

" Barry, I thought you were asked to evacuate from that office? " Ricardo asked.

Barry froze and couldn't say anything for a moment.

" Sir, I made a publicity of the upcoming pageant show and we gained more followers and comments on Instagram," Barry said.

" Did you upload the pictures of our model? " Ricardo became curious.

" Yes sir and they can't wait to vote for our company, here are some comments " Barry replied and handed over his tablet to Ricardo.

    " You would have chosen to let me die, after all, I haven't been nice to you, " Ricardo asked. Gwen gazed at him and she started crying. Ricardo… " Why is she crying? " Ricardo thought to himself. Ricardo pulled her to his embrace as she sobbed. Gwen cried for a long while and finally calmed down. " I thought you were going to die, I was scared that wouldn't be able to save you. Are you okay? " Gwen asked. Why does she care so much? Ricardo was confused. " I am fine, all thanks to you, " He said and ruffled her hair. " Why did you save me? I didn't know you to be kind " Ricardo said. " I don't know why, but I couldn't think of my safety and all I wanted was to bring you out " Gwen replied. Ricardo felt warmth. He couldn't hide the fact that he was in love but how could he possibly tell her?" Thank you so much, Gwen, are you feeling hurt anywhere? " He asked her. " No sir, I just want to go home, I want to see my mum, " Gwen replied. " The doctor said you will be discharge

    " Why can't you love me? I'm I not good enough for you? What is it you hate about me? " Ricardo asked. Gwen didn't say anything and Ricardo didn't want to persuade her to say it. " I've never said this to anyone before but if I don't say it now I might not be able to say it again," Ricardo said. Gwen felt her blood pressure increased. " I love you, Gwenevere. I do love you a lot and I want you every minute of my life " Ricardo confessed. He said it but he was scared of being rejected by the only woman he has ever loved aside from his mum and Arya. " I don't love you and I won't love anyone, never, " Gwen said. Ricardo felt a sharp pain in his chest, he had never felt this bad before. He had always gotten whatever he wanted but now, he felt that he had lost. " I promise to change in whatever you wish, you don't like me being snobbish? " Ricardo asked. " You can't change the fact that you are a man, which made you a beast and monster " Gwen replied. She became so angry that sh

    Arya stared at her brother, waiting for his reply. " I didn't ask him," Ricardo said. " As a lady, I can help you out. I will tell you what most ladies like and 89% of what I'm about to say will be a match to her preference, " Arya said. Ricardo's gaze became more serious as he gazed strongly at Arya. " If a guy wants to win over a girl, he has to give her more attention, he should always call or drop messages. He should buy her gifts and always take her out for lunch " Arya explained. " Don't always be tyrannical towards her and always apologize when necessary " Arya said. " In case she still hasn't fallen for him, tell him I am available, " Arya said and ran out to catch up with her mum. Ricardo stared at her back as she left, he took a deep breath and walked into his room. " That's a lot to do, but I will have to start from somewhere," Ricardo said. ………………..The pageant show is happening the next day and everyone is busy with work. Gwen has been stressed out, she looks so

    " What's wrong? Why did you scream? " Arya asked Gwen as she let go of David. " Nothing," Gwen said " Why did jump on him like that? " Gwen couldn't stop laughing. " He is cute and remember I told you that I'm obsessed with cute guys " Arya has always been a straightforward person. David blushed so hard. " But after seeing him for like a few days, I will get tired of him so don't worry. I won't take your brother away forever " Arya said. She is such a shameless girl, how could she say such a thing publicly? This is the worst of them all that David has ever seen. After paying for what they bought Arya came up with a suggestion. " As I'm traveling tomorrow, why don't we have lunch together? Both of you are the only friends I have in Switzerland '' She said, looking at Gwen and David for their approval. " Sure, let's…." Gwen's phone started vibrating. " Excuse me," Gwen said and shifted to a corner " Hello " " Did you read my message and ignored it? " Ricardo said. " I was in

    "What?!! " Ricardo exclaimed. He felt like she was just playing around but he knows that Gwen is not someone that jokes all the time. " I don't want to work for you anymore, I want to quit my job " Gwen repeated with her head down. She knew that she had hurt his feelings for the sake of her sanity, she better quit. " Have I been harsh to you? Did I overwork you? I promise to let you have all the rest you want " Ricardo replied. His heart began to fail, he felt like he couldn't breathe. " I will bring my resignation letter tomorrow " Gwen retorts as she gazes at him, she feels the hint of pain in his heart. But he wasn't the only one going through the pain, she was going through more pain. She has come to love him but her love for him has great consequences. To avoid the feelings, she decided to resign. Gwen felt like cursing Ricardo for making her helpless. She was about to leave when she felt a hand grabbed her. She turned with surprise and saw Ricardo in tears " Why aren't you

    " I said, I will take you home and stop picking a fight over nothing," Ricardo said to her as he tried to hold her hand but she withdrew it. Gwen could tell who always drives as if he was being chased by a ghost. It's none other than David. David walked to them and put his both hands in his trouser pocket. He wasn't smiling as his gaze fell on Gwen. " Why haven't you gone home? I just left your house now. Do you have to work this hard every day? " David said nonchalantly. " I forgot something in my office so I needed to come back for it " Gwen lied. She began to roll her eyeballs. " You don't have to cover up for your boss, I can't believe he is this heartless. How can he subject a lady to work so hard? '' David lashed out. It was late so he couldn't see the faces of the guys who were next to her. Barry was about to pee on his pants because he could see the smoke coming out of his boss's nostrils. " I have told you to resign, I don't know what you are still doing here. Let's go

    Gwen took a deep breath as she held her mother's hand with a sad expression on her face. She knows that her mum won't like what she is about to say but she wouldn't change her mind. " I want us to move out of here, where your husband won't be able to find us," Gwen said but her looks could tell that she was lying. " I'm your mum and I can tell that you are not telling the truth. Why are we leaving this apartment? " Gwen's mum replied with a concerned expression. " I will resign from my job tomorrow and I don't want any of my co-workers to know where I stay. That's the truth and I'm not lying, I want my privacy " Gwen replied. She pouted her mouth like a spoiled child. Mrs Bautista raised her hand and hit Gwen at her back. Gwen let out a scream and stood up from where she was sitting. " Why did you hit me? I've told you to stop using force on me " Gwen said with teary eyes. " I didn't raise you to be a coward who runs away from her problems. Are you having issues with someone in

    " Why isn't she in her office? Where did she go? Ricardo questions them. They were all afraid to speak. Bianca walked boldly to Ricardo as she wrapped her hands around her chest. " She finally remembered where she belonged and she knew that she wasn't fit to be here so she did the needful " Bianca replied with a grin on her face." Scott and Barry, are you ready to speak or you've found yourselves another job? " Ricardo said, totally ignoring Bianca. Bianca clenched her fist angrily. Scott handed the resignation letter to Ricardo " Sir, she quit her position " Scott said and Ricardo collected the letter. He went through it and indeed it's a resignation letter. " Why didn't you stop her? Why didn't you tell her not to leave until I arrived at my office? Is this what I paid you for? " Ricardo yelled angrily as he tore the letter and flew it away.

    “ My mum chose my father over me so, why should I choose my father over my man? “ Gwen asked the jealous Ricardo as she dragged him and they entered the car. “ Who did you say I am to you again? “ Ricardo asked her while driving with one hand and squeezing her hand with the other one. He stared at her and he made sure that she didn't look away. “ My man “ Gwen replied as she became shy and he smiled at her. Gwen noticed that they weren't heading home. “ Where are we going? “ She asked him. Not that she didn't trust him but she was just curious. “ You don't trust me? “ Ricardo replied but didn't turn to look at her. “ I do trust you but I am just curious, that's all, “ Gwen said. She blinked her eyes twice and pouted her lips. She knew the next thing he was going to say so she decided to say it along with him. “ Curiosity kills!! “ They both chorused it and began to laugh. He always says that when he is about to keep a secret. He drove into a hospital and parked his car. Gw

If only I could turn the hands of the clock “ Kathy said as she tried to hold Gwen but couldn't reach her. Gwen cried and trembled, she remembered what Ricardo said to her. “ Don't let your emotions get the best of you “ “ I wish you a painful death, “ Gwen said and left the prison.

Immediately Ricardo saw her coming and got out of the car and opened his arms as she ran into his embrace. “ shiiiii!! Don't be so emotional. Don't cry “ He said as he began to pat her back as he always does. “ I didn't know she would hurt me this much. I have dedicated half of my life to this friendship and she ended up betraying me.

    “ Don't let me call the police on you. Leave now that I am being polite “ Gwen lashed out angrily. Ricardo stood at her back and touched her. She turned to him and he smiled at her. She understood him and decided to let her father speak. “ What lie do you have to tell us? We are all ears “ Gwen said to him. “ Can we at least go inside and talk things out? “ Gwen’s dad said. “ Gwen, he has been coming here every day to beg for our forgiveness but I haven't given him a listening ear. Let’s go inside and hear him out “ Mrs Bautista said and Gwen listened to her. They all went inside except Ricardo who was standing outside. “ Come in, you are a family now, “ Gwen’s mum said to Ricardo and Gwen dragged him in. They sat down for about fifteen minutes but Mr Bautista couldn't say anything. He was thinking about how to start and he took a deep breath. “ Gwen, Laura, I am deeply sorry for everything that I have done to you. I don't have anything to use and defend my outrageous attitud

    It's been days and Gwen has recovered fully. Her mum always visits her, including Mrs Yolanda and Arya. Gwen was sitting down in the sitting room with Ricardo when they noticed that someone was inputting the password to open the door. “ It can only be Arya, “ Ricardo said as he frowned his face immediately, Gwen couldn't help laughing at his childish attitude. “ Hello, poor people!!! “ Arya screamed at the top of her lungs as she walked in with her mum at her back. Ricardo wanted to curse her but he kept quiet the moment he saw his mum. Gwen stood up and embraced her but Ricardo behaved as if he didn't notice anyone. “ Welcome Ma’am, “ Gwen said cheerfully. “ Thank you!! I would appreciate it more if you had called me mum “ Mrs Yolanda said as she sat down next to Ricardo. “ Hey, mum! “ He greeted her and stood up to go in but she held his hands down. “ I came here to see you, why are you trying to escape? I wonder how Gwen will cope with someone like you “ Mrs Yolanda said a

    The doctors became afraid and they began the treatment immediately. They drove off and other vehicles followed them. Kathy entered the police car and she was taken to prison. They got to the hospital and brought out the stretcher. Gwen was placed on it while Ricardo held her hands as they dragged it inside the emergency ward. “ Please, everyone should wait outside the theater, “ The doctors said but Ricardo would never give in to it as he followed them. Gwen’s mum sat on the floor and wept bitterly. Everyone was consoling her but she couldn't stop crying. What would become of her if Gwen died? They should get ready to have two funerals if anything happens to Gwen. She looked at David with so much anger and grief, for a moment she felt like strangling David. “ Where is your mother?

    “ Daughter of bitch!! You aren't fit to compete with me because you have a very soft and shallow heart “ Kathy placed the gun in her trouser pocket and began to drag Gwen’s body outside. She brought out her car key and opened the car. She kept on dragging Gwen on the floor. “ Dead bodies are so heavy. I used to carry Gwen and she wasn't so heavy “ Kathy complained as she opened the passenger's seat and dropped Gwen. The glasses on her car are all tinted so outsiders wouldn't know or see who is inside. After all, it's just a 2-minute drive, she wouldn't encounter any police officers. There is a river on the balcony of Kathy’s house. She is going in her car because she won't be able to carry Gwen. “ I didn't want to bother her mum by planning a befitting burial, Gwen should rest in pieces inside the river “ Kathy muttered as she entered her car and drove off immediately.

    “ Who the hell just called her? “ Ricardo said as his gaze fell on the table and he saw a diary. He placed his hands on it but on second thought he removed it. “ If she didn't want me to read it, she would have hidden it somewhere. Maybe there is something she wants me to know “ Ricardo knew Gwen very well. She is a very secretive person and she isn't careless with her stuff. He picked up the diary immediately. His phone began to buzz and he didn't bother to check it as he opened the diary. HELLO DIARY!!!

    “ I don't think it's a good idea to tell him this. I will just have to drop my diary where he will see it after my death. I don't want him to hate me for any reason, “ Gwen said to herself. “ Back to earth, Gwen, “ Ricardo said as he snapped his finger at her face. She smiled at him and wrapped her hands around his waist. “ How is your mum? My regards to her and Arya whenever you go to see them, “ Gwen said sarcastically. “ If you miss them so much, why don't we go and see them? I dedicate today to you, I won't go to work, “ Ricardo replied. He noticed her suspicious behavior but he hated the fact that Gwen was so secretive. He doesn't want to persuade her more because it seems she has trust issues. “ No, I just want to be with you throughout today. Let's go to your room, I want to rest my head on your chest while I sleep “ Gwen said like a spoiled child. “ I will carry you “ He was about to lift her when the news on the television drew their attention.
