Phone Call "W-What's going on?" I was suddenly stunned by her question."You're blushing right away, I'm only asking if he's doing something like is Logan paying attention to you? Remember, you're not just an ex-girlfriend. You were ex-lovers back then and literally lived together under the same roof, and as you said... you've been together for over a year. You've been together a lot, right?"I slowly nodded. "As I said. We're both acting professionals, sis. We had the past, but it's in the past. It's a past that should be forgotten." I said."Wow huh? I thought you still loved him so much. I think he was the reason why you fought so hard then, and why you are here now, right?"I smile, so she thinks I'm okay. But deep inside I'm not. "I accept it. That person is my inspiration... maybe, he was my strength to fight back then and I really am thankful for that because I didn't give up even though it was so hard to fight. And look what happened to me now, I am happy with my job at Salaz
Coffee Break "Is there a problem, Klara? Why do you want to quit the Falcon Housing and Building Project team?" Ma'am asked me in surprise after I told her what I meant. "Give me at least one valid reason, Klara, because I can't really replace you in Mr. Falcon's Project," she added."U-Uhm. It's because I'm busy with my other projects, Ma'am. I can't keep up with Falcon and LuhSsio's Building Project. I hope you understand-""No," she immediately disagreed. "You used to have double the number of projects, sometimes even three. So what is your main reason now?" It still falls short of my reason for hating Logan's project.I sigh. "H-Health problem, Ma'am. That's also one of my reasons." I still tried to convince her even if I lied first.I want to quit because I want to avoid him. I want to avoid him hard! Because neither we nor I can't work properly if he is part of the team I will work with. He's the boss anyway, so I can adjust between the two of us.She just tsked, and put down t
Heaven's Orphanage The next morning Brii and I both woke up early. Then we passed the food pack we ordered from our favorite Jollibee for the children in the orphanage. The owner of that fast food branch is also one of our food sponsors.The owner was surprised because Brianna and I always order multiple food packs from them every end of the month. Then when the late thirties couple knows that we are bringing to feed the children in the orphanage they also joined in giving food to the children. They're also giving us a discount on everything Brianna and I can pay. Sometimes a nice couple also joined us. Then one day they asked us and the nuns in the orphanage if they could invite the children in the orphanage to the 7th Birthday Celebration of their only son, they also held the party at the branch itself. They also invited all the nuns because that was the request of their kind son."Sir, ma'am, thank you to our Almighty who sends you to us to bless the kids," Brianna states when the
Accept Again "MA'AM Klara," it was the voice of Liza, secretary of Mrs. Salazar."Oh, Liza? Do you need something?""Yes Ma'am Klara, Ma'am is calling you to her office."I was curious to face her again. "Is it now? oh, I just need to finish these important files here, maybe later-""You should go now, Ma'am Klara. I think what you talk about with Ma'am is very important," she said to me."Ah, okay, I'll go immediately.""Thanks, ma'am. Please, don't take any longer and follow immediately because Ma'am is waiting for you.""Sure. I will."When Liza came out of my office I immediately took action. I start saving all my documents and reports to my USB first before I follow her. After I closed my computer, I immediately stood up and walked to the next floor of Mrs. Salazar's building where is her office."Liza.""You may proceed inside Ma'am," she said immediately upon seeing me."Okay."I move and I knock three times before I get inside our lady boss' office.I clear my throat. "Good m
Blinked I start moving to his side, right across from his secretary. I put all my things down and I occupy the chair. I just avoided glancing at his behavior.I hear him clearing his throat and he starts talking. "Good morning, everyone." All of them greeted him in return but I only nodded.His secretary, Rica, stood up with files in her hand, then turned around and placed them one by one in front of us. Then she turned off the little light and opened the high-tech conference visualizer system.Mr. Falcon stands up and switches his tiny remote control to start his report. We all stared at the big monitor."Here's the primary plan for my housing project." The next page appears. The whole map and housing landscape can be seen on it. "This will be my primary landscape and style. Ms. Santos," I suddenly looked at him. "I'll stick with your opinion. My Royal's Palace Subdivision should be one of the nicest places and grandest mansions in this city. Well, now... since I've chosen your sugg
Art "Good morning ma'am." The guard greets me as I step inside the main lobby of the huge Falcon Industrial Company."Good morning," I greeted back."Let me help you, ma'am," said a guard assigned to the entrance building."Ma'am Klara." I immediately looked at Rica when she appeared in front of me and the guard. "Thanks. And I got down on time to meet you here in the lobby. Need some help, Ma'am?" she asked with a smile."Yeah. If possible.""Oh sure, no problem."She also helped me carry my papers, laptop, and personal things in a big paper bag."Thanks, guard for helping me carry my things." The man just nodded and smiled at me.Rica and I immediately went up using the elevator to the 20th floor.Rica and I were silent until we arrived at my office. She opens the door for me.I'm surprised when I see the whole office. It was very different from yesterday when she showed it to me. Because yesterday the decoration was not finished yet."Mr. Falcon asked me yesterday to organize the
Let him Leave Don't lose hope, Klara. You managed everything even though it was very difficult, didn't you? Don't give up and always think more positively and be brave. Don't even show the world your weaknesses and the greatest downfall in your life. You will also pass and overcome all the trials throughout your life and the trials to come. Be brave always and be a strong girl. Always put that on your mind. No more being scared. Just fight for the new life that God has given you. Be blessed always.I stood up and was about to pick up what I had pinned on the easel."Nice artwork," I gasp, I couldn't immediately face the person who spoke behind me. Was I so focused on my drawing that I didn't even notice someone else coming into my new office?I immediately flush away the pain and the weakness I'm feeling inside my chest, then I start forming my best smile when I face him. I continue to unpin my art. "Thanks." It just came out of my mouth.I was about to throw away what I did when he
Sketch "HELLO, good morning," I answered the ringing phone.["You, get ready now, we are going to the construction site at around 08:30 AM sharp."] It's him.I wonder why he called me personally when he had a secretary to inform me."Yeah, I know, and I'm ready," I answered slightly.["You don't have to bring your car, we'll just ride in the same van,"] he says."Okay," I answered briefly.["And lastly, don't forget to bring your sketch to show the engineers overseeing the entire construction."]I rolled my eyes. "Noted, you shouldn't be reminding me of what I have to do because I know what I'm going to do later." he was quiet on the other line. "Don't you have anything to add? I was about to put it down because I'm still busy organizing what I'm going to bring-"["Go on and drop it."]I immediately hung up because I had nothing more to say.I sigh and I continue fixing all the important things I need. I also peeked one on one of the sketchpad papers. It was the styles and shapes I c
Mistress"I am not. I am really carrying his heir, our first unborn child. That's why we went to Australia to arrange everything about our grand wedding." she said with a triumphant smile. "So if I were you, don't be an illusional woman! Oh, you really had this poor mind bitch. Logan Falcon is only made for me, for us, not for you. He's just making fun of you right now! So wake up leech, wake up from your damn shit illusions. I'm telling you this because I am just concerned for you. You are making a fool of someone about to be tied to someone else. I'm not here to beg you to stop your obsession with him. I'm also not here to beg you to let him go for our little angel. I will never beg you, bitch because no one could stop our upcoming wedding. And you will not be the one to prevent our marriage! Not you and your itchy body.""That's not true. You are a liar, Logan will choose me. I'll prove it to you!""Huh, I feel sorry for you just now. You made my child's father believe too much. He
Unexpected GuestWe continue our four days together with happiness in Maldives.Logan really made up for me, he even surprised me on our first day and night stays in our place.I am very happy with the romantic dinner date that he prepared for me. He really makes me the happiest woman. What I was hoping for on my birthday, he did in that place.I am overwhelmed. There are no seconds, minutes, hours, days, or moments that he does give his undivided attention. The longer it goes on, the more tender he becomes towards me. It is corny, but it feels good.We chat, we chuckle, we cook, we eat, we swim together then we make love every time and everywhere we want around the whole place. We also go anywhere we want. We also toured its entire business establishment and I met his two cousins who happen to be his partners in that Beach and Private Resort. We also sailed using the various yachts he owns, we also tried the sea rides. He was right when he said that we were going to a place where it
Vacation I raised my hand and caressed his cheek. "I'm yours, always remember that, hm? Take me as much as you want, Logan 'cause I am yours. I'm willing to be yours tonight." I was the one who brought our lips together for a passionate kiss.I feel him responding to my kisses. We go far, we go deeper and we make love as if there is no tomorrow. We spend our whole night in his warm bedroom, and we made each other happy the whole night."Where will we go?" I asked him in surprise after we ate breakfast at a popular restaurant near the subdivision.He glares at me and holds my hands while continuing to drive his car."It's a secret.""Logan?" I creased my forehead.He pulls me into his arms. "It's a surprise, Klara.""Where is that?" I'm still grumbling about it."Hey," he pinched my nose and kissed me quickly on the lips. "Don't pout or else I'll stop this car and I'll kiss you hard, and make love with you here now." He smirks.I was blushing and going away from his side. "That's not
ProudIT was already dark when Logan and I traveled home. That is because the nuns didn't send us home right away, they had prepared a special dinner for all, and they also didn't agree that we wouldn't host them."A-are you angry?" I was the first to break the silence between me and Logan inside the car.He is very quiet while driving. I can feel him change since we left the orphanage. He turned slightly towards me and immediately returned his attention to the road."I'm sorry if they insist on the dinner. I'm sorry if they tempt us." I continued to speak even though I wasn't sure if he was listening to me or not."It's okay," he answered simply then there was a long silence between us again.We arrived at the house and he didn't pay attention to me again. He got out of the car first without even looking at me.I sighed while looking at his track.I know that it's my fault, I kept a secret from him so this is how he treats me now. I was about to open the car when he opened it for me.
Donation I frowned at him. "But–""Hop in Klara. I don't take no for an answer. Let me please accompany you." He opened the door for me in his latest car which was just in our yard.I didn't complain anymore and I got into his car. He immediately drives when he's already inside the car. He turned to me when we were finally on the road."Where to go?"I told him the address I would go to first. Still, it was awkward, so there was no conversation between the two of us inside the car.When we arrived, he wondered why we went to the fast food chain. I'm surprised but he still goes with me even though I let him stay in his car."Hi, Klara. Belated Happy Birthday to you my dear." The owner of that fast-food restaurant kissed me and greeted me warmly. "My husband and I really looked forward to seeing you today. Here, accept our simple gift for you.""Hi, Klara, happy birthday," her husband also greeted and barely looked at my companion.I smiled at the two as I handed over a small paper bag
Accompany I WAKE UP to a light caress all over my face.I slowly opened my eyes and Logan's face was the first thing I saw."Good morning," he utters then he lowers his head and kisses my lips."L-Logan?" I said softly as his face slowly moved away from me.He looked into my eyes sweetly "I'm sorry about last night," he said. "I'm sorry for making you cry hard. I still cannot afford to see you crying, Klara. Your tears are still my weakness," he said staring at me unblinkingly while his hands caressed my hair sweetly.I'm speechless, I remember the last thing that happened last night.He stops me from leaving him, I was determined to leave and give up last night. But he begged me to stay, he didn't let me leave him. He hugged me tightly and held me in his arms last night while I just cried and cried in front of him. Until I didn't remember how I stopped crying and fell asleep. Then now, I woke up in his warm bedroom."H-have you been there before?" he was sitting next to my bed.He n
Sorry I remained sitting on the sofa for just a few minutes before midnight.I know he won't come, I don't even hope anymore. It's time to give up, it's time to set him free and it's time to accept that he's not the one for me.I was about to get up and enter my room when I heard the big gate open and a car enters the yard.Logan... It's him, he makes it up to me. He's already here...My previously depressed feelings were suddenly revived. I immediately stood up from the sofa when the door of the house opened.Our eyes immediately met when he entered. He looks drunk but still, he's handsome and lucid in my eyes."Why are you still awake?" he asks me seriously while moving in my direction."H-have you eaten yet? I have something prepared on the table." I asked him, not answering his question at me."No, I'm not hungry, why are you still awake?" he repeated the question to me."A-are you drunk? Do you want coffee, cold water, or something else? I'll take it for you.""Damn it! I don't n
WaitingI KEEP praying that he would come home that night. I really asked God to grant me even just tonight, even if only today he would listen to my request.I am ready, I have prepared my heart for whatever happens tonight or tomorrow. I'm also preparing myself for the possible pain and disappointment of my decision.I breathe.My Lord, even just now, please. I'm begging you. Even now. Please let him go home, I hope he will come home before we cut it off... between us now. I know this will hurt me so much. But maybe this will give me a piece of mind even though my heart is so broken. God, please, touch his heart and let him go home now. Please, please... My heart and mind were begging.I waited a few more hours. I didn't rest because I wanted to wait for him. I'm sketching and already finished my new artwork. Everything I draw is for him. All of them also have my signature on the side and personal inspirational quotes about life and sacrifices.It's already midnight but there's no s
Overseas CallLOGAN's P.O.V MY JAW tightens while I'm continuously scrolling down the images. I removed the collar of my polo shirt as I looked at the pictures my eyes sent by my private investigator. Starting with pictures of a woman until the one with a man.That man again? This is the same person she was in the picture that my investigator took of her last time.I got my phone and called my personal investigator."Hello, give me some reports about that man in the pictures," my direct command.["Yes, Sir. I'll send you by tomorrow,"] he answered on the other line."Always keep an eye on her, and immediately give me reports on where else she goes while I'm not there."["Copy, sir."]"Don't you still have updates on what I'm asking you to investigate?"["I'm sorry, Sir. It's as difficult as what you're trying to do. But don't worry, Sir, I'll do my best to give you the right information and details about her past personality. Just give me at least 1-2 weeks and I will immediately giv
