We both fell silent while eating. I think I lost myself when Judiel brought up that topic."Look ..." I looked at him when he talked, "I'm sorry. I don't know.""It's all right, sir. Nobody is aware of it, and it's the first time someone has questioned about my family." He was taken aback by what I said. It seemed strange that he was the first to ask about my parents in front of me.He asked, "Really?" and I nodded.I never answered questions about my family since I didn't know what to say. I was simply a kid who had no idea what was going on, and Mom was my sole running companion. My classmates used to taunt me because Lucky and I only had a helper at a public school, so we began to think of her as our mother, so they wouldn't tease us. I was terrified of going back in time. In my dream, what happened then repeated again and again."I don't like it when people inquire about my personal life, but if you insist, Sir. I'll address a few of your questions..." What I stated drew a grimace
As we tiptoed down the hallway to our room, I stopped for a moment and rubbed my forehead when I remembered I had told him we were only in one room. I couldn't understand myself anymore. I planned to get closer to him, but it suddenly changed when he kissed me earlier.I immediately approached him when he was about to open my room. "Sir, wait a minute." He stopped when I called him. He looked at me curiously."Why?" he asked. I looked at the key he was holding in my room. "Oh, don't worry. I won't sleep here. I will stay in my room." I bit my lower lip. Did he feel like I suddenly didn't want to? "Here you go, good night. Wear presents tomorrow," he added. I just nodded and entered my room first."Good night," he said in a low voice. I did not respond to him. I just let him close the door.I closed my eyes and shouted because I was annoyed with myself. "This is what you want, Lucille. What the hell is happening to you?" I mumbled to myself because, honestly, I felt weird.I just picke
When the two of us got inside the elevator, it was just the two of us until I saw out of the corner of my eye he leaned over me, but I ignored him. Fortunately, others were entering, so it separated me from him because someone broke in between the two of us. The two of us looked at each other. I wanted to laugh in his face because he looked even annoyed when a Japanese man insert between the two of us. As the number of passengers in the elevator increased, he became even more distant from me.“If I were the owner of this building, only two passengers would be allowed to ride in this elevator,” he said when some passengers went out, and just the two of us left.“Well, thank God. You are not the owner of this building. By the way, your meeting is only here in this building?” I asked. He shook his head.“No, but it’s close to here,” he replied.I thought he said nothing about his meeting but just let me go. “What should I do? You did not give me any details about today’s meeting of yours
While they were talking, I was just on Judiel's side, eating quietly, but I couldn't focus on eating because Judiel was holding my lap. I tried to remove his hand, but he also tried to put it back, so I just let it go.They stood up, and I also stood up with Judiel to say goodbye to his meeting friends. When they all disappeared, I looked at Judiel, who was now looking at me as well."Why?" I'm embarrassed to ask this question. Instead of answering me, he turned away, which made me even more surprised. What is the problem?And can someone remind me how I became his girlfriend again because it still doesn't seem fair to me how it caused a relationship with each other? Something just happened to us one night, but he was my boyfriend right away? It's crazy."Where are we next?" I asked when I got close to him. He looked at me with serious eyes."We're going to buy things for your family.""Huh? Why?" I wonder. What else did he think and sympathise with my family?"Look." He looked at me
"Is your mom okay?" Judiel asked me when I got next to her. I looked again at Ales and Mom, who were still looking at me, and turned to Judiel."They're fine, don't worry. Let's go? You still have a meeting," I said to him. He nodded, so we got in the car together.While on the ride, I just silently stared ahead. I think of the people left behind in my life. What if they get hurt and disappear from me because of what I'm doing? I can't afford for that to happen again. I don't want to lose a loved one similarly."Hey." I immediately looked at his hand when he held one of my hands. I looked at him with a smile. "Are you okay?" I nodded with a smile still on my lips at his question."I'm sorry if Mom didn't seem to get along well earlier. Maybe she just remembered something.""Remember me? What is that?" I was stunned by his question. I have to think of an answer."She said earlier that you look like her son, who went missing a few years ago." Wow! Nice lie, Lucille. I should give you an
Feeling nervous about what he had done, I backed away, averted my eyes and walked over to his desk to sort things out, even though they weren’t messy. Why is he so clingy to me? He must have mistreated me. If I keep thinking, maybe he already knows me. I need to be careful next time with him. He still can’t recognize who I am. It’s too early and maybe I’ll just ruin everything I’ve worked for.“You have a meeting with some executives and investors tomorrow. The owner of Lioven Modeling Agency also wants to talk to you.” While not looking at him, I said that. I feel like I don’t look like I’m facing him anymore. I don’t think he’s this fast that I should do it.Or maybe, it’s a good thing he came first before me so that it won’t be difficult for me. I looked at him when I saw him approach. “Why?” I asked him. My forehead frowned as he smiled at me. “What’s with your smile?” I asked again.“You are doing great as my secretary. You memorised my schedules without looking at any notes,” h
We got to another place where we stayed and made a different plan. We called it headquarters. I went down first, and a few of my staff opened up to me. Some are my employees in the company and others are private persons that Alessandra introduced to me."Call Ales, come here and take them," I order Alley. I am referring to the people we have investigated in the past who will work with me.I saw Alley bow and went out. The other staff is doing their job, and I entered my office here, sat in the swivel chair, and released a loud sigh. "I saw one of them. It's too early, but I will do my best to get close to you." I mumbled to myself. I know it's hard for me to do, but that's the only way I can get closer to what I want to happen.I looked at my cellphone when it suddenly rang. I saw Judiel's name on the screen, calling. Not for now. I don't want to face him first. In what happened earlier when I was in front of his mother, I did not know how to speak in front of him again. They were ver
After hearing those words from Alessandra, I couldn’t speak because I would admit that what she said was true. But I still can’t feel what they say because I’m applying something else, and that’s fine with me. For me, I don’t feel any problem. I only feel anger towards people who did something to me. They have no right to rejoice while my parents still have not achieved justice. If they hid everything and used the money so that those in the law don’t work for it, I will.“I’ll go first,” I said goodbye to her and then got out of the car. After sighing, I walked away from her. I also heard her leave. So, I looked at the building where Judiel was.I just went here for the first time. But I already know where Judiel and the unit are, but I still need to ask in the information area. “A guest for Judiel Marco Sanrazo,” I requested to a lady. She looked at me as if wondering who I was. “I am his secretary, and I will just give you something. Lucille Santos,” I added so that she would stop b
Everyone was silent, no one spoke for a few seconds. I looked at the helper who was looking at me seriously. I didn't give her any reaction, I just turned to Judiel who was also looking at me. “Are you sure? Aren't you hurt? ” I shook my head at Judiel's question."No one was hurt, I'm fine too so she shouldn't be fired. I'll just apologize to you, Mom. ” I bowed to Joanah, the mother of Judiel. When I looked at her face again, anger was evident. Maybe because I called her Mom.I also turned to Juziel who also had a trace of anger on her face, I smirked at her whose eyes widened even more. “You—”"Love, is it okay if..what's your name again?" I turned to the helper who until now seemed to have not lost her panic."Janice, my name is Janice… Ma'am." I smiled at her. I turned to Judiel again to say that I was the only one who should order Janice.“Is it okay that I have her as my personal assistant?”“Personal assistant? Are you crazy, Lucille? How could you have her as your personal as
The next day, I took Lucky to the hospital with mom. Lucky still doesn't talk to me but he lets me talk to him. Ales was the one I instructed to look at and teach Lucky. They also went back to our big house and I took Alley with us because she was the only one in her home. She has also been without a parent for a long time so the only thing that keeps her alive is working for me.I went back to Judiel's mansion after I took them home. I told Judiel last night that I would not sleep in their house, he agreed and now I also told him that I would go back to the house. He was not there, in the office and still fixing the problem. They can no longer fix that because they can no longer see the person who stole from them a large amount. I made sure they wouldn’t catch my staff."You came back." As soon as I entered the house, Juziel was staring at me. I ignored her and was about to go straight to the bedroom when she pulled me. “I'm still talking to you, Lucille…” I looked at her hand holdi
We got home and to the great surprise of Alley and my mother, we were already escorting Lucky inside. "What's happening? Mother asked. They helped us put Lucky in his room. The weight of my brother. "Why does Lucky have a bruise, Lucille?" traces on mother's face that she was worried. I looked at her."He got into a fight when we got there at the club, I will bring him to the doctor tomorrow if he has a broken bone or anything injured in the body," I replied. I looked at Ales and Alley. "Leave us here first." They nodded and left at once.I sat next to Lucky, Mom undressed him so I helped him take care of Lucky. She gets him lukewarm water first. "He's back to what he was before." I stopped when Mom spoke, what did she mean?"What was it, mom?" I asked. She looked at me seriously and her face was sad. "What was he before? What are you doing when I'm gone?" I added a question."Ever since you worked in Manila, he has been a gangster. Every time he came home he had bruises. He just stop
I was left crying in his room, he came out earlier and I know he hasn’t lost his temper yet. I don't know what I will do to get Lucky to talk to me again. "Lucille." I turned to Alley, with her were Ales and Mother Elsa. Mom came up to me and hugged me.“He will understand you soon, as long as you don't give up on your brother, Lucille. When you are still young, you two are already on the same side. ” I bit my lower lip and nodded to her. She’s right, Lucky and I are the only ones on everything in life.When we were kids, there wasn’t a day that we weren’t with each other and every time someone got into a fight with one of us, we defended each other. I'm very guilty of Lucky now, so he also had a lot of issues with me. I know it’s hard to explain everything to him. If I include him in my fight that I know is dangerous for him, will he accept me?"What are you going to do now?" I turned to Alessandra when she asked. Nothing enters my brain, I think of my brother how I can tame him with
We went straight to Judiel’s room after he took me away from them. I just watched him quietly because I didn't think I could calm him down. I helped him put our clothes in his walk in closet. He stopped and faced me. “Are you sure about this? Is it okay for us to live here? ” he asked hesitantly.I smiled at him and nodded. If he worries for me what his family will do when he's gone, that's part of my plan. Until he continues to be angry with his parents and find out more about their true identity. "I am sure. Don’t worry, I can do it myself. And I know that their treatment of me will change, not now but in the days to come. ” I smiled at him and kissed him.That's why we really stand out but if we do that, I won't be able to make my plan here. “I know you can, as long as my family did something to you. Tell me, I will not let them hurt you. ” I held his hand. He was very worried about me, he should worry about his family because I was with them but of course, he didn't know that.“I
After two days, we both packed our things to go back to Manila. We had very little clothes so we didn't bring much with us on the trip. We left the house with them to take care of it as well. And now, while we were on the trip we just talked about what was going to happen. He planned to introduce me to his family as a wife. I don’t even know what their reaction will be."You should sleep first, we're still far away." I looked at him and nodded. He was right, I had to sleep because I had no sleep last night. We did something romantic last night before we left the next day.The trip time ended and we arrived at their house. I was nervous but I stopped because I shouldn't. I’m already here on my next plan to get into their family life, I shouldn’t back down. "Are you ready?" I nodded to his question. He took my hand and squeezed it gently. “Don’t worry, I am here. Okay? ” He smiled.I knew that he would not leave me alone in front of his family. We got out of the car together and walked
Our wedding ended, I was still talking to other people and the others went home already. I am pretty sure there are a lot of people even though Judiel and I don't know some of them, because he told Jose to invite a lot of people and anyone can do that. I’m going to be crazy, because we really seem to be married in a big church and many know because of the number of guests taken."Hey, look." I looked at Angela with a frown, I turned to the right where she was looking. "Your man is already married, he is still being approached," he added.I couldn’t move when I saw Nicole and Judiel seem to be talking happily, my chest tightening not knowing the reason as I saw Judiel smiling at the others. I should be happy and lose my boyfriend if he talks to someone else, we're married and that's all I need. But why do I feel pain now?"Are you okay?" I avoided Angela. "Do you want us to go?" she asked again. I shook my head and turned to her.“Where is Berting? Let's go home first, ” I told her. An
The day of Judiel and I's wedding came, everyone was busy helping with the preparation. They prepared a lot of food, they even wondered why Judiel prepared so much if it was just a civil wedding, as if we were going to get married in the church. They added that we were the first pretentious to get married.“Admit it, you two are rich, Lucille? Just come here to get away because you're hiding, right? ” I laughed at what Angela said. What is haunting their minds. I don't know with Judiel, I told him to be simple, he doesn't want to because this is the first time he will get married."We're just saving so that's it, we've been saving for this for a long time." I averted my eyes from her and went back in front of the mirror. She was the one who fixed me up so she always asked if Judiel or I was rich.“After your wedding? What is your plan? ” asked by her again. I was silent because I didn’t know what I was going to do next. This was probably the first time I didn’t know what to do."To lo
We spent three weeks in Tarlac, Diego was still working. Last week he ordered Liam his work supplies and occasionally he only did online meetings. I want to feel sorry or feel guilty every time I see him sacrificing something in his life for me but that’s not my job. I meant to get him away and get him even more so why would I feel sorry for him?I approached him and brought coffee. "Thank you." He smiled. I stroked his hand and kissed his head. It seemed stressful, so I started to massage her. "Hmmm.""You look tired? Are you still?" My poor question. He was looking at his laptop as if something was wrong. I also rubbed his head and forehead."There was a problem with the company. Mommy and daddy, as well as Juziel and my cousins, kept calling. They were introducing a new person to the company, I don't think the background was investigated. They stole a large amount, it was investment funds on an important project of ours. They also didn't allow Liam to speak because the man was just
