Just looking at Keith makes Amanda feel tired already. She sighed and shook her head. She doesn't want where this “talk” will lead them. And besides, she wanted to look after the kids and not talk to him in private.“If it’s all about my recent acquire of almost all the shares of the company, I believe Attorney Agoncillo—”“Honestly,’ he cut her off as he leaned closer. Their eyes met and she fell silent looking at those blue eyes that turned in darker hues. “At first I loathe you for what you did, for taking the only thing that I have invested all my life with. But now, as I learned something relevant both in our life, I really don’t mind at all. I just want you to be honest with me…”Amanda was seated on one of the couches and Keith held on to the arm’s rest as if caging her inside. The kids are oblivious of what’s happening at the back. They are too focused on playing together that they haven’t paid attention to the surroundings.“If you don’t want to talk outside then I’m fine rig
Shaina knew that look in her eyes. She couldn't be mistaken. Long ago she had the same look while anticipating the arrival of her beloved. And up until today, she missed him that all she could do was to reminisce about their good memories together.It wasn't her intention to visit Sandro this late. She had a few things to finish first before finally showing up. When she learned that Sandro had a high fever, she was worried as hell. But she had put her faith in his parents that they'll look after him until he's fully recovered.They say time heals all wounds, she believed that only that person can heal her inner self. And no one else will do that for you.On the way to Sandro's private room she happened to cross paths with Keith. Just by looking at him she finally understood that something had transpired in the closed door of the room. His appearance had been different, gone was the gloomy aura that surrounds him. And he seemed that he'd finally got the courage to take the next step.W
Seeing Sarah calling his phone clearly speaks trouble, Keith said to himself as he went outside Sandro’s room the answer the call. Mrs. Ferrer and Kenny already left and only the three of them left inside the private room—him, Sandro and Amanda. And knowing Sarah, she can be very impatient that as it turns out she’s been calling him numerous times.Keith walked until he reached the end of the hallway where there would be no one who could hear him. He finally answered the call and Sarah shoot the question right away.“Honey, where are you?”“Where are you and Kenny?”He took a deep breath before he replied. “Kenny is going to sleep in your mother’s place.”She sounded confused. “What? Why?”“How is that even possible when Mom is outside the country?” Then she gasped at the other line. “Did she already come back from Spain?”“Yes, she’s back. We met here in the hospital where Sandro was admitted.”And here comes the trouble…“You mean you went to the hospital and visited Amanda’s son wi
“It’s not what you think,” Keith said even in the heat of the conversation. He couldn’t bring himself to get mad at Sarah as there’s a part of truth to what she had just sided with. And he felt guilty for having feelings resurfaced while he had her at the side. It just goes to show how shallow their relationship turned over the years. “I came here… We came there to visit the child—”They’re just compatible in bed, and even that department it’s also failing him. And now he couldn’t see himself even sleeping next to her. May Sarah forgive her for everything running on his mind right now but it’s all the truth.“Don’t make me a fool, Keith!” Sarah began throwing the pillows everywhere and all the things near to her. “I know you!” And then something hard almost hit him in the face. It crashed against the hard wall beside him and instantly shattered into tiny pieces on the floor. It was a small figurine just on top of the bedside table. Keith turned the lights on and Sarah looked horrified
Shaina was having tea in the garden when she heard the news from her butler. It shook her to the core, almost dropping her cup of tea on the floor again. But then she tried to remain calm amidst the current situation. Unlike before that she couldn’t do anything about it, now she had the power to change fate. However before she could take the action into her hands, she received a call from Keith.And then she realized she should watch from the sides and let them figure out how to get out of this mess.“Hello, Keith—”“Mom, Amanda’s gone missing,” Keith said to her immediately. Even if she knew that already, it never failed to rattled her from the inside. But Shaina heaved a deep sigh, trying to control the emotions that kept overwhelming her. “But I left Sandro in Sarah's care. They’re still in the hospital—”“Didn’t I tell you not to leave them?” She didn’t want to turn it against him but she’s a mother. And he can’t erase the fact that she’s worried about her daughter. It’s the reaso
She can’t believe that it happened to her. She just wanted to cry in anguish as she became aware of what just had transpired in the four corners of this unfamiliar room.Amanda woke up and realized that she’s naked underneath the white sheets. Her body felt sore all over and she couldn’t think straight. She kept the sheets up to cover her entire body. She felt someone had violated her. And she feels only hatred towards the one who had defied her.Speaking of the devil, Richard just got out of the shower and was drying his hair when he noticed that he’s awake. Richard smiled at her, must’ve noticed the grimace that etched on her face.“What have you done?” She dared to ask even if she had an idea.He shook her head. “Relax. We’re here in the hotel just so we can spend the rest of the night. And I don’t do women who’s fast asleep. There’s no thrill to that. But I must admit that I took the liberty of removing your clothes coz why not?” He smirked towards her direction. “We’re going to b
She needed to get away from Richard. But how on earth will she be able to escape from his cautious eyes?Amanda could feel it on her skin. Richard had never let her out of his sight since then. And he always makes sure that she's at his reach or she never leaves his side. Now she had no other options to stay connected with Keith. She just hopes that he just read her message and took Sandro somewhere safe.As Richard wants something unique for their rings, they still have to wait for the jeweler to finish the one he specified to them. He just paid a huge sum of money to the shop just to expedite his purchase. She doesn't know what he’s dealing with but apparently, even if the marriage was more like forced and a matter of convenience, Richard wanted something to show off his power and wealth. Typical male ego.While waiting for the ring to get finished, her mind traveled back in time when she got married to Keith Harris. Their wedding was made a little out of preparations as their union
Mrs. Ferrer was horrified after learning the news, almost lost her consciousness but good thing her ever reliable butler was there to help her. Felipe fanned her face as he ordered to bring a glass of water. She finally calmed down after drinking the glass of water afterwards.“What? Not again! The poor child…” Shaina looked hurt about this unprecedented news.Keith, on the other hand, wanted to make an uproar but chose to calm himself even if it’s the hardest thing to do. He turned both hands into a tight fist as he gritted his teeth in controlled anger. He just wanted to rush into the scene and find whoever took Amanda away. Now that they lost the lead, it’ll be hard to search for someone who hadn’t left even a single trace.He felt lost but he could never give up now. Not now when she’s clearly in need of his saving.“I want to know how did this happened,” Mrs. Ferrer hastily inquired. “Isn’t she with Richard?”“Or did Richard kidnap Amanda?”“Mom, please don’t say that,” Sarah loo
