I've searched in the places where I know Lucile stays but I haven't seen any trace of her shadow at all. The windows and doors of her house are closed. In her favorite bar that she goes to, she is not there either. Even in her favorite hair salon, I don't see any traces of her. I can only think of one place she could go—to her mother’s place who is also a demon. So, on the way to Imelda's restaurant I ruined would be my destination. I would also like to know how her restaurant is doing, and whether people are still crowding it despite cleaning up the name after they accused me of the issue. And as I arrived at the place, I saw a lot of improvement than the last time I went here. The first time I went to this place, the name of the restaurant was just on a tarpaulin and then it was just hanging on a tree. But the change happened here, they now use billboards. On the side where the restaurant is located, there is a big billboard and the restaurant name is displayed there. "I guess it'
When half of the paper was burning, I turned off the flame. I handed it to Imelda with a mixed peace sign to tease her even more. Because she was able to make my head so hot with what she did to tease me earlier, I made her feel what it feels like to be teased. "If you can return this paper to the way it was before, go. But if you really can't find a way, maybe you should start begging a hundred thousand pesos from people, so that you can collect the hundred thousand you owe to the person who’s now chasing you. " I felt it in my pocket and took out a coin. "I am your number one donor." I put it in her hand before I left her restaurant that she made beautifully... but I assumed after my arrival, she will regret spending a lot rather than thinking about paying off a loan to the person who she has debt to pay. The moment that happened today is one of the most satisfying moments I have ever had. Since the very first day I became part of their family after marrying Liam Soriano, I didn'
"I was looking for you all over the world. You're just here," I said to the bartender at the counter and told the girl even from behind, I already knew her. "Is this where Ivan always takes you?" "Not by Ivan... but by my longtime boyfriend." She faced me and even offered me the glass she was holding, but I refused. Later there is a sleeping pill mixed in. "You, I didn't expect you to be an empty bar now that you're jobless." "For just a month." I just asked the bartender for water instead of alcohol. If Lucile is the only one I can drink with, nah… forget it. It would end up surely boring. "I really would have to thank Jessica for directing me here. Finally, I found you." "Do you need something? Or just want to apologize again?" "Is there something I need to apologize for?" I shook the water in the glass. It's like what arrogant CEOs do on TV. The only difference is that the wine in their wine glass is red wine, mine is just water. "If you're concerned about ruining the weddin
I want to be sure if the man I saw is really Henrix. So, I was planning to go upstairs as well when someone grabbed my hand. It was Liam who met my eyes, panting. "Audrey is in the hospital." The words I heard made me shrink back to follow the two of them to the second floor. I didn't hesitate to be bothered by them because I was hurrying to get in the car to the hospital where Liam took my daughter. "What the hell has happened?!" In a situation like this, no one would ever be able to ask me to calm down. "First day with my daughter, what did you do, Liam?!" “I… I don't even know-” "You are a doctor! Why don't you know?" Despite my driving speed, I managed to catch a glimpse of him at least for a moment. "I gave you ¼ of my trust and all I ask of you is to take care of Audrey for me! I didn't say the hospital would take care of him!” Damn it! Damn! I'm so pissed right now. I want to punch. I want to pee. I want to hurt! But the Lord didn't just make me a demon to do that—and in t
And the two proceeded to their respective rooms for donating blood. While I was left in front of Audrey's room. They say I haven't been able to go in yet because the nurses there are still taking care of my daughter. So, my eyes were left fastened to Liam, walking away. At that time, I still had the courage to tell someone like Liam who had a mental problem, and the fear I still have in me that an attack would happen again, I judged him he's not able to be a good father to Audrey. I told myself then that Liam is the type that I don't see a shadow of being a good father. Because of his condition back then, the promises he made during our wedding that he'll make me happy and treat me his number one queen becomes the opposite as he brings me into the kingdom swallowed by the darkness. And I should have understood there's this underlying condition he has that's why he has hurt me a lot of times. Because of the many things that happened before, my heart lost its place to understand. Espec
Because the pain is not tolerable. It still hurts to hear from his mouth that he is taking me back to the person I first felt love for. It's like I'm just an ordinary thing to Henrix that he's now returning to its owner. "I'll do rounds with the patients in the chin. I'll leave you here." He tapped my shoulder as he stood. He bowed to me slightly, as if he had forgotten something to say. "If you ever think of coming back to him, don't hesitate. Do what you must. Go with someone who makes you happy.” I only watched him go outside of the room. I was not even able to speak or even ask about something that with the many events that took place, my mind about that was lost. I have realized just now the need to ask Henrix being on a bar exactly the time Audrey has been put into hospital. Is he really the man I saw with Lucile there or not? ***** "I bought a lot. Which of these do you want to eat?” A bag of beef mami, porridge and soup were the food I bought for Liam. I don't know what
"If you think that I lost my love for you right away, that's not true. It's still here, okay? It's just different now, there aren't as many as before." "I'm sorry if I broke it... that I immediately gave up on what we had before. Sorry... if at this time, Henrix is the one I can't let go of. Henrix is now what my heart desires…” Pointing at my chest, I'm directing my hand to my heart. "But don't worry. As for the complexity of the situation between the two of us now, it seems that the disease has round 2... which I thought I had escaped before." As I looked out into the void, somehow I was able to smile at the pain I felt and the weight of my heart with the weight it was carrying now. "It's impossible we could end up together. But at least he became part of my life... of our lives. Because it looks like Mama gave birth to me unlucky in love life... so, Audrey's there, and... perhaps my future life as a single mom would become... I hope... easier." Liam was supposed to be the on
Rocco called and said he needs me at Aether, so I couldn't even leave Audrey, knowing that Liam promised me that he would take care of Aud, at least I felt safe to leave the hospital. Hopefully with the second promise he made to me, I won't receive bad news. "So, the other day, Carina talked to me, and she's begging me to allow her to leave the group. It's because She asked me so suddenly, in just a few days their first song will be released, their debut and first conference as a group," said Rocco. I just stayed calm in my seat even though inside, I wanted to explode with anger and wanted to go wild here. "And then I found out that Carina has suffered acute leukemia." "How was she?" “Recovering, Gwen. I have also talked to her that she will not take a leave from the group, and we both agreed that as soon as she recovered, the big event for them will definitely happen." I was frustrated, yes, but at least I never let my emotions swallow me. Therefore, I remain calm and let my mi
