BenChua's POV I wish Cinyla could get to her friends' place. But I couldn't be bothered even though she sent me a text message that she was fine and she was along with Ruby. I just don't understand how other people can enter my resort, it's exclusive and I have a lot of security guards. After sipping my hot coffee, I went straight to the CCTV office. I wasted no more time, I had to find out who that man was. How did he get in here and what is his real purpose? It's close to my office but the main office is right on the ground floor; because to see everything better compared to the other side my access is limited. The road is wide, and I also have many CCTVs around because I want to keep the entrances and exits to my resort closed. I entered the white room where I saw the unconscious security guard. "Mr. Diego!" I shouted and he stood up quickly and forced his eyes open. "Y-Yes sir!" He was adjusting his clothes and looking at me. "Sorry sir, I don't want to fall asleep during my
BenChua's POV It was seven in the evening when I decided to meet her. I brought a bouquet of red tulips that I asked for my staff here since I have a garden. I just texted her a while ago that I will wait for her in my office. She will not be lost since my office is on the 2nd floor on the left side where the door has a big sign of Big Boss. I have a black and white curtain with a big chandelier in the center of the living room, everything is prepared and I am hoping for good news. I looked at the mirror preparing myself. I adjusted my collar carefully because it was tilted and I had sprayed my Dior perfume. I walk around like I have worms in my stomach because I'm restless. Until someone is knocking. I think it's him. I immediately opened it and I saw her. Her eyes are serious but I can sense something is wrong. "Are you okay?" I asked. He didn't answer, he took a small step towards me and kissed me quickly. I felt the nervousness and it seemed like some horses wanted to break fr
Cinyla's POV It was an amazing and unexpected moment. How did he know that the tulips are one of my favorite flowers? He is one point again. I seemed to be beside myself watching what he gave me. I smelled it again and wished that the smell would not go away. It just happened yesterday but I feel like it was just a while ago. I stood up and walked around, Ruby and others are already back to their home while I need to stay here. What else does he need to know? Until I remembered what happened yesterday, I rushed to my bed where my black bag was. "Is it here? Where is it?" I almost spilled the contents of my bag just to find it.Until I see a piece of paper. "Finally I find you. I got it!" I waved the piece of paper in the air and stood up. What could this be about, besides, is it possible that it's was connected to the man who entered my room last time? I was confused now until I realized that I needed to call Josh. I got my phone from my bag and dialed his number. After a minute,
Cinyla's POVA hot sun wakes me up. The silence of my room gives me peace and trying to make me lazy and feel asleep but I need to wake up early since later Josh will be here.My big bed wants me to lay down and be laziness for whole day and trying to tease me, but I was totally up when someone knocked on my door.I quickly stood up but noticed that I was just wearing a sexy red nightdress. So I didn't open the door instead I checked it, and I noticed a man wearing a black hood. I stepped back. I don't know him but he is an old man with a black facemask.It looked right and left and landed three roses and a basket of hersheys. For a few seconds I looked at what he was going to do. But I was taken back when he suddenly stood up and looked ahead. I don't know if he can see what's inside, but what's inside can see what's outside."Did he see me?" I don't know what I feel now. I could hardly move and my hair was strangely tall.I was hugging myself too but I tried to calm myself down. Pee
Cinyla's POVIt was almost past six when the three of us left my room. Sir BenChua has also called his assistants to clean my room. Before we left, I got my suitcase and a small bag because all my valuables were in there."I'll take that." Sir BenChua asked and took my suitcase.Josh just looked at me thinking he was going to say something but then just smiled."Let's go!" Josh invited and after the three of us went out, I saw the four bodyguards that Sir BenChua was talking about. His body is big and he is wearing shades."Good afternoon, sir!" They greeted at the same time when they saw Sir BenChua come out first."Good afternoon! Leo and Kevin, please stay here. Watch until the two maids finish cleaning the inside, okay?""Yes sir!" Two men agreed. "Miguel and Manuel, come with us. Watch as we walk to the guest room." He reminded the two strong men in front of us.I was surprised because the things I brought were given by Sir BenChua to the two bodyguards who would be with us."All
Cinyla's POVIt was quiet and no one wanted to talk between the two of them. I feel that what Joshua said also made him think. It's messy and as time goes on, many pieces of connection must be made. But, I didn't understand what Joshua was saying yesterday.You are connected to the past.Anyone can think and choose to find the truth about the past.Sir BenChua just chose to let us rest today, he also tried to get all the gifts he had thrown away from his staff.I am currently leaning on my large and wide bed. It is bright and airy throughout. I was in the other room, in unit D. Meanwhile, Joshua was in unit F. I slightly closed my eyes and looked up, letting out a deep sigh. Is what he says true? Is there a connection between Sir BenChua and me? Is Daddy still alive? If yes, who is the corpse in his grave?Whatever came to my mind. The feathers almost rose on my strange questions to' yourself. I also thought that I had been here at the resort for almost a week and until now, we still
Cinyla's POV It's beautiful to watch the sunset. I will never get tired of watching you. "You are always beautiful. Dad I miss you." I whispered to the wind as I watched the Sun King hide. I sipped my hot coffee and faced him. "You're beautiful, aren't you? I mean, the sunset is always perfect," said Sir BenChua who was right behind me. I didn't notice he was here. I'm currently on the Balcony, and we decided to rest today because of what happened last night. "Yeah, this is so perfect sir. This is also Daddy and I's favorite view." I smiled while telling him that. That also disappeared when I could remember all our pranks. I missed him so much! "Anyone, you know what it is weird but maybe it was a coincidence. My Dad really loves the sunset." He sat next to me while looking at the setting sun. "He said before, this sunset symbolizes peace and goodbyes. It's quite scary to think but meaningful." As he slowly told the story, I felt my heart beat faster. I don't know what it means bu
Cinyla's POV I just chose to forget what happened the other day. It's a good thing he doesn't say anything about it because it's embarrassing. Why did he kiss me? Why is his moves so fast? We are currently in the main room. Today is Monday and nothing makes me feel strange anymore, I hope it doesn't. "Are you ready? We'll eat first and later you can go back to your room to pack. The other one didn't do anything either, I thought it would be over and we'd know who was threatening Cinyla." Sir BenChua listens to Joshua looking at him. I hope they don't fight in front of me. "It's not easy to recognize the mystery maker, especially if we're just here inside your big palace," Joshua answered as if he wanted to say something else. Indeed, we don't know, especially since there isn't enough evidence and the man who makes me feel like a mushroom. It's true, it's not easy to know someone who doesn't want to introduce themselves to us. "Okay fine, Joshua. Let's end here, it's better to go
The world is not fair. Often, in the end, what we want doesn't happen. Like me, I thought that our family would be rebuilt and that my distance from Ben was the key to everything; forgetting and rebuilding oneself is a mistake because, in the end, everything is just a puzzle. On the other hand, I will still try to find peace and stay away from the person who caused me to be broken.I was dumbfounded looking at Daddy's photo, I didn't think that everything would lead to saying goodbye. There was a second chance, but it also seemed like nothing.I was standing at our table and I saw the picture of me and Daddy, this is the most special day for me. "Daddy, it's been almost a month since you disappeared, I haven't even spoken to Ben and your partner Ms. Talia, his conscience couldn't take it. It's sad, but a few days after you were buried, he in the mental hospital. Dad, I thought we would be fine, I thought it would be more painful." I rubbed the photo that I still had, the photo of me a
Cinyla's POVSunday was passed, and I can say that I somehow got a thorn out of my chest. After Ben and I talked, I decided to distance myself from him. My dad is not here in our house, wherever he is. I don't know, but Mommy said he is at the Saint Louis Hospital in Batangas.I sighed, walked around the balcony, and watched the sky. I hope soon, everything will be fine.Until someone called my name. "Cinyla, can I talk to you?" a familiar voice. It is sharp and close to my heart.I turned to where the voice came from. "Oh Mom, you're here. Yes, let's talk downstairs." She smiled and said, "Alright. We'll just wait for you downstairs." I just nodded even though I was wondering why he said our words, maybe he was with someone else. Who is that?I fix myself and go downstairs.While I'm on my way, I see someone that makes me nervous.I didn't expect that he would go, but as I approached him, I tried to calm down and act as normal. I noticed that he is more fine right now, he is wearing a
BenChua's POVAll of them make me stupid. "Damn!"Even if I am not in the mood, I go straight to my VenZua Bar, one of the bars I stumbled upon last year. I'm just going to visit today, not to get to know someone and have fun but to forget what happened. "I hate him! Why did he come back? Why now?" I drove fast while cursing him in my mind. “Damn! Still traffic!” Until my phone rings.I didn't pay attention to that but I put down a bottle of vodka I got at the condo, I didn't want to go to sleep so it was better to go somewhere I knew I could forget somehow. It took me almost half an hour because even though it was late at night, I was still caught up in heavy traffic. Traffic in the Philippines is different. I parked the car and went straight to Venzua Bar. It's not just a bar because it's a 4 store building and anyone can enter as long as they can pay. After all, this is part of business. After I passed the entrance, two muscular men met me. They greeted me and I just smiled, t
Cinyla's POVI rested at home for almost two days, Mommy always prepared food for me and even took care of me. I looked at the big clock on the side of my table, it was almost lunchtime.While I was looking around, feeling the silence, someone suddenly knocked on my door. It was three knocks before I spoke."Come in," I said.My door opened, and it wasn't Mommy who knocked but he, my Father. This time, he appeared without a mask. Carrying the tray of my food and drinking water."Good afternoon, Cinyla. Eat now, I hope you'll be fine. Your Mommy left, so I brought it." I didn't even ask, but she said why she brought it, where is Mommy going to go? this time, it's hot outside."Thank you, where is he going?" I asked coldly."We're just going to buy something to eat later, I said I'd go out alone but he insisted that he be the only one. Alright son, eat now. I'm going to go."He put my food on the table, I didn't say anything because he seemed to feel the coldness of my treatment of him.
Cinyla's POVI woke up early but I chose to sip a tea here on the balcony. I still don't understand everything, most of all I can't accept what happened to Daddy. I want to hug him tightly but I still have a lot of doubts.As I observe the beauty of the sky with different images the clouds form, the lush plants on my balcony, and the appearance of the wind. For a few moments, while I felt the silence, someone messaged me. I put down the tea I was drinking on the table and took out my cellphone to read it.My eyes widened, sir already had five messages. I checked the day and it was Monday today."Oh shocks! I have school today, I forgot and I'm still super chill now."I read them one by one.Sir Ben ChuaGood morning, Cinyla.Received 7:50 amSir Ben ChuaPlease bring me hot chocolate, no sugar added. Thanks!Received 7:57 amSir Ben ChuaHey, why are you doing and not replying to me?Received 7:57 amSir Ben ChuaI checked your office, you are still not there. Is it traffic? Where are
Cinyla's POVToday is my rest day and I'd rather stay home than go anywhere. Mommy is not here today either, she left the morning before. I looked at the clock and it was past eight in the morning. I'm still dumbfounded when I see the ceiling and stare at the light that I didn't turn off last night. I got up, turned it off, and looked around me. I'm messed up!I sat down for a while and stretched until I remembered what happened yesterday. Can I come with you when you see your Dad? His questions make me freeze in my place and make me think about a lot of things. I don't know but I feel something strange. Honestly, there's nothing wrong if he comes along, but I don't have any privacy anymore. I took a deep breath, tried to put aside the things bothering me, and started making my bed. The colors of my bedsheet and pillowcase are simple white and black plain. I have three pillows, two in front and one that I hug, I seem to have gotten used to that arrangement. Because if I don't have
Cinyla's POVI still don't understand sir's offer, why did he see me pretending to be his girlfriend? I knew that he had flirted before that's why I rejected him because I wasn't ready and I didn't know if he was serious or not. His offer is good, but I don't want to fall into a plan that has consequences in the end. I breathed deeply. There is even a problem, he wants to add more.I'm currently sitting at my desk, looking at the black folder he gave me. I still haven't opened it so I don't know and understand anything about what he said about my new rules and obligations for him.He is really strong! You thought I would agree! No! A big NO!I sat up and swallowed, I took the black folder and opened it but suddenly someone knocked on the door."Cinyla? Are you there?"I let go of what I was holding and stood up. "Yes sir, I am here!" I opened the door and sir smiled at me."Can you join me later for lunch?" I raised my eyebrows because of his offer."My treat. Forget my offer and the
Cinyla's POVI almost did any position but I don't think I can sleep well anymore. I still can't get over the look of sir from earlier. How quickly he changes his mind! I thought I had no school tomorrow and Monday. I couldn't help but get up and sit down. Ugh! I still have class tomorrow! I looked at my little clock and it was ten o'clock in the evening, but I didn't feel any sleepiness. Thinking about earlier dominated me.What's in Daddy's name?Instead of thinking, I just put my feet down to put on slippers. I'll just go to the kitchen to make some milk. It's because at my age, even though I'm in my 20s, milk still really makes me sleepy.I turned on the light in the kitchen. Grab a new one and a teaspoon, and start brewing. Later I heard footsteps, I bit my lip and stopped for a moment."W-who is that?" I asked loudly in the absence because I knew Mommy was resting."Cinyla, this is your Mommy. Why are you still awake at this hour?" It came closer and I was able to breathe proper
Cinyla's POVSince we had a bad conversation with Mommy yesterday, we are talking to each other now. But it looks vague, because of the silence in the house I know that something will happen next. But to be honest, my head hurt last night just thinking about it. I couldn't say anything else because apart from the words he was saying, I also couldn't understand his actions now.I am currently in our living room checking emails on my laptop. I have school next week because sir gave me leave. It's good to relax, but it's all about memories. But honestly, I'm also hoping that Mommy might change her mind because she knows that I love work."Do you have school, son? Can we talk later?” I stopped scrolling when he came and asked. He was carrying a red box but I didn't pay attention to it."My school starts next week because of the leave given by sir, but I have a walk later, I have a meeting with the boss." I'm lying because if I say that sir and I are going out, what might Mommy think."What
