Chapter 87: Competition "Let's welcome the team from Singapore!" the emcee announced hinting that we will go up on stage to introduce ourselves. My hands and knees were trembling and I couldn't help it. I felt Guan holding my hand so my attention focused on her. "It's going to be alright, Kira. Just smile in front of them." she said and I just closed my eyes. "I'm ... sorry if I can't help it." My breathing was heavy as I said that and I felt like I was losing myself. "Come on, Kira, Guan ..." I heard Lai say. Guan smiled at me and I nodded. I got up with Guan and then walked up to the stage. I heard the screams of the people in the audience, there were fans from different countries. But despite all the noise around, only my loud heartbeat could be heard and it dominated me. I hate it. This is the competition. No more arrears. Everything was moving as planned and there were no more problems. We are also ready to compete, just don't really be distracted too much. Especially me, I
Chapter 88: Scandalous Affair "I'm so sorry, Miguel! I didn't know that.… that was going to happen at the event! He's just a nuisance that poofs out of nowhere!" I never stopped apologizing to him for what happened. He shook his head while laughing. "Don't apologize anymore. It's not your fault after all that you're too beautiful and many want your attention ..." I really felt guilty because of what happened during the event. He brought me here to the Philippines just to celebrate with me because we won. But now, he will leave immediately because of the issues. "Won't your company be affected because of me? You know, it's all over the news and they even dug deeply into your credentials ---" I was stunned when he held me on both shoulders. "Don't you think it's just a strategy just for our magazine issue to be noticed more by the public? That will help because our sales will increase. Don't blame yourself for what happens again and again. I'll be back to Singapore and to my work. E
Chapter 89: Apologize "Where are you going to take me?" I couldn't help but ask him because he just pulled me to his car just to escape the reporters who were following us. But based on what I saw, here in the parking lot, I still can see someone watching the car we were riding. There were still people hiding but it was obvious that we were being followed by them. They're so annoying! They didn't know about respecting privacy? "We're going to a restaurant. Just a second--" "What?" My eyes widened when he picked up his phone and he pressed something. He’s going to take me to a restaurant even if we have an interview later? Is he insane? I picked up my phone and immediately dialed Guan's number. Thank goodness and she answered right away. "Kira, where have you been?" she asked and I just sighed. "We were caught by reporters and Patry will take me into a restaurant. I don't know what to do! Get me away from here!" I asked and was stunned when Patry started the car we were riding in
Chapter 90: Freedom "I'm okay with five dresses." I said it for the fifth time but Mommy G didn't seem to hear anything. "You have to buy all you want. Many years have passed without you by our side. We miss you so much ..." Mommy G said passionately and I thought she would cry again so I approached her immediately. "Please don't cry anymore." I pleaded and handed over my handkerchief when I saw her tears forming up again. Sera smiled at me, "You can't blame us because we haven't been with you for so long. We really don't know how to talk to you because you suffered so much because of us." "It's not all your fault. It's because of Senator De Guzman. He has done a lot just to bring me down. They even involved you wherein I should be the only one to suffer. I should be the only one to endure all his madness ..." I insisted once again but she shook her head. "No, we won't let you suffer anymore. That's why we didn't let you either and took his offer just for you to live. We didn't k
Chapter 91: The Whole Truth "It's time, Kira." Secretary Martin said and I nodded. He said he had a problem on his side so he only arrived here in the Philippines last night. I tried to ask him what the problem was but he didn't want to tell me. We are now here in front of a prison facility to talk to the ex-senator De Guzman. It's time to put an end to this. I wanted to know why he did this kind of cruelty to me and my loved ones. This is really the time. I've readied myself for this. We entered the prison facility and approached a police officer there. "Can we talk to ex-senator De Guzman?" I asked and addressed him as it should be. "Ma'am and Sir, you're the 56th visitor who wanted to talk to him but none of them was allowed by De Guzman to talk to him. We're very sorry if I'm going to send you away just now- -" "No, please tell him that it's me ... Kira May Lucas." I sternly said and I could see that he was stunned as well as the police surrounding us here at the entrance. "
Chapter 92: Courting Stage The passing of ex-senator De Guzman became big news. The cases against him have been dismissed and his assets have been distributed to all the families of the deceased, as well as the survivors of the plane crash. His body was quickly buried and only silence prevailed around. It was all Olivia's deeds. When she heard of the news, she said that she will give all of the money her father accumulated to the families. Because she’s only a relative of the ex-senator, she took care of everything. Me and Secretary Martin went to her to give her a lawyer to speed up the whole process, especially since she is pregnant, she might have too much stress and work. Until it was all over, I didn't hear any cry from Olivia. Maybe she just secretly cried and didn’t show it to us. She's pretending to be strong wherein fact, she's not. She spoke to all the families of the deceased and they all pity her. What she gave to them was just a smile and assurance that she'll be okay. N
Chapter 93: Puppy "Thank you so much for helping us. She is fine now and we can already talk to each other." My eyes widened when he said that. "Can I see her? I'm going there to the hospital." "Of course! There's no problem with that. She also wanted to get to know you because you helped her in continuing the operation." he said softly and I smiled. "Okay, I'll be there." I dropped the call and looked at Manager Zee, "Can I borrow the driver for now? I'll go to the hospital first to see the game staff's daughter." She was stunned. "Is she feeling well? How is she?" "She's fine and she can already talk to her father. I just want to see her before going back to Singapore." I answered and she looked surprised. "Wow, good for her and her family. It's good that you came into their lives to prolong her life. It would be the other way if it didn't happen." I left the exclusive hotel and boarded our van. As I said last time, I helped the game technical staff in continuing the operati
Chapter 94: Fujoshi Heart "My parents wanted us to get married." I immediately drank water because of what Myo said. That's quite expected, especially that Nucleus has already shown up to her parents. I also can't believe that of all people, Nucleus was really the man she drank with in Boracay. "Why did you drink so much at the bar in Boracay? We didn't see you right away when you broke up with us." said Lai. Guan nodded, "That was the day you went back to the room we rented at dawn?" she asked and Myo nodded. "He was my schoolmate. He was so playful back then like he was to tease me everytime about Patry. I don't like him." I said and she frowned. "Does Nucleus want to marry you as well? And he's kinda a playboy, is he?" Jin asked. "He wanted to marry me and said it to my parents. It looks like he was determined there because he came with me just to see my parents. He's a playboy, indeed. Am I going to take the offer? We don't know each other yet. " "It's better if you don't a
