Richard had just finished his luncheon meeting with his executives when his eyes caught something beautiful from a distance. She’s waiting patiently on her cue. Her line was just outside of the restaurant he had lunch with. So he decided to pay her a visit, bid his goodbyes to his executives and walked towards the direction of that beautiful woman.Amanda Muñoz. As days went by, she became more beautiful in his eyes. It seems pregnancy can make a woman blossom to its full potential. No man with keen eyes like him can even ignore such goddess roaming in the land.He glanced at the name of the store and figured out that she’s buying some yogurt. He heard from her doctor that yogurt is a good source of calcium for pregnant women, especially the variety of Greek yogurt.Being a CEO can have a lot of perks, and one of those are connections that he can use anytime he deemed necessary. It’s a plus factor that he’s also good-looking. Not to brag, but his presence alone was enough for the crow
Keith’s day consists of having the Japanese investors sign the final contract then getting back to office to focus on his pile of paper works. It seemed to double the last time he checked on it. And everything was near to its due. Some are even for urgent approval.After a tiring day, he decided to visit his grandfather at the hospital. He brought him flowers and fruits even if Don Kennedy didn’t want to. His old man was always on a practical side, telling him that flowers withered as time passed by and there’s only a few fruits that he could actually eat.He arrived at the entrance of the hospital around seven in the evening. Don Kennedy was still awake when he got inside his private room. His old man was talking to his private nurse while having his portions of fruits.“How’s your day, Grandpa?” Keith replaced the old flowers on the bedside table and put the new ones. Then he put the fresh fruits near the mini kitchen. “I hope you’re doing good.”“I feel better now, Keith,” Don Kenn
“Amanda, who was the real you?” Keith mumbled as soon as he opened his eyes. It’s already morning, the sun rays crept inside the spaces in between the window blinds.He just woke up from a dream that puzzled him. He was chasing this particular woman in white but he couldn't reach her no matter how fast he ran. He keeps running towards her but she keeps growing the distance. She’s running at such speed that he can’t possibly reached. And she was laughing the last time he heard about it. And before he woke up, she decided to turn around and show herself to him.She was none other than his wife, Amanda. And she was looking down and laughing back at him as she slowly fades away.What a strange dream. What could possibly that mean? Was it possible that Amanda, no matter how timid she was in their old house, was actually fed up to their marriage and was longing to be free from the start? Could she really be the culprit in the recent events that lead him to file a divorce?Was his lack of af
Sarah had never felt this irritated to someone for ages. She was biting her nails as she tried to analyze what happened earlier at the private room of Don Kennedy. His words absolutely have meaning to it. As if he knew something important that she hadn’t known!That old man sure was smart, a natural enemy of hers. Why would every family have that one person who’s smart that she can’t get rid off? That old man will surely be the hindrance to her plans!“Where would you want to go?” Sarah glanced to her side and saw Keith who’s eyes were still focused on the road. They already departed the hospital a few minutes ago. Thank God since she can’t take the silence anymore. “Any place in your mind?”“Are you avoiding me?” She asked right away. She’s not that stupid not to notice his frequent alibis for late night work and his out of town business meetings that took for days. There was really something wrong with the way he acted in front of her. “Do we have a problem, honey?”“None—”“Then lo
It’s like any other ordinary day. Amanda gets up early and has a quick bath underneath the shower. She would want to relax in the bathtub but that can wait until the weekend. She still needs to prepare breakfast as Alma will be here anytime soon.Everyday as she saw herself naked in the mirror, Amanda would always caress the bump in her belly. She’d been a few weeks pregnant, approaching her second month. And she couldn’t be more happier knowing that the baby inside of her was growing strong and healthy.As her doctor advised, she never let herself get stressed. She always sleeps on time, and not less than eight hours of rest. She always included fresh fruits and vegetables to her diet. And stock of milk was always replenished every week so as to not get run out in the groceries.Morning sickness finally subsides, thankfully. But Amanda would crave the impossible food from time to time. If she can’t find it online to be delivered at her doorstep within the day, she’ll ask her best fri
The cafeteria was not a place where silence usually stayed. It was always filled with rowdy and lively customers beside the good food they served. And despite the crowd, the two of them remained silent while staring at their unannounced visitor.It’s as if they’ve seen a ghost. Definitely not. No ghost was as handsome and as charismatic as the CEO of the Ferrer Properties. And he’s also holding his tray with the food he ordered at the counter.That’s new. Normally, Richard will be out of the office at this time of the day. Not that she had any interest in his schedule. But as far as Amanda knew, he’s not the person that stays inside the office because of various business engagements outside."Is this seat taken? He repeated the question. His eyes were definitely on her that Ananda felt embarrassed. She looked away so as to not get any more unnecessary attention.Alma cleared her throat and answered politely. "Yes, Sir."He took the space next to Alma, and she could tell that he’s glan
Keith set aside all the other files and took the one with the “Confidential” written in front of it. Hesitation stopped him from opening the folder. He can’t admit even in the eyes of his assistant that he was afraid to know the contents.“What are you afraid of?” A part of him asked. “Are you afraid to know the truth?”“Are you afraid to even acknowledge your wrong doing?”So Keith turned to Alan and asked. “So, tell me,”“What’s written in this report?”Alan was startled for a moment before giving him the details of the report. “You will find inside the folder the details of the sender of that particular parcel…”“The sender’s name is Mario de Guzman,” his assistant mentioned the name. Keith touched his chin, thinking if he’d heard the name or even familiar to begin with. But nothing comes to his mind. “We already checked the CCTV footage on that day. We saw a shady man that we think he is. But apparently, upon checking his ID presented on the branch, it was falsificated. And when w
Ah, why can’t these men give her the piece of mind that she ever wanted?Amanda was staring at the retreating back of Richard’s car before it lost in the corner. She decided to get inside of the house to make something to eat in the kitchen when he heard a familiar voice calling her name.She closed her eyes tightly as she almost forgot that Keith was inside of that car behind Richard’s. Amanda was fighting the urge to face him. It was always stressful and energy draining. And even seeing Keith alone makes her completely at lost and get furious easily.She can’t be dealing with him right now. Her doctor already advised her not to subject herself to any more stress for the benefit of her and the baby.“Amanda—”She never gets annoyed at someone calling out her name. It felt like her name had brought curse to her life. Kidding aside, Amanda turned around to face Kieth just this once. And the plan was to decline any of his attempts to get her back.Instead of turning him down, her eyes w
