And since they all seemed to go for Eli's planned trick, I also agreed to be their cameraman. It's also one of my dreams to experience filming a music video, and I'll be the one to direct it.Now that Eli's opportunity is slapping me, I find no reason to object."Do you still need to hang that thing around your neck? Oh, that's so itchy, Julia!” I heard Yuwi complain.Because today they planned to do the gimmick, considering that today is the day before Christmas, then it's only afternoon... now, Magi and Julia are fixing DWEIYAH for costumes and a little makeup."The art of your skin, Yuwi! It's just a garland, don't be afraid!” bubbled Julia as she excitedly hung the garland on Yuwi's neck.But because Yuwi is a great critic, he immediately removed the garland from his neck when Julia left in front of him so that Israel was the target.The garland was supposedly the boys' main costume and their uniform, but ended up only three of them remaining wearing it; only Israel, Eli and Warre

"I really thought you would let me spend Christmas alone this year, eh," said my father despite him getting busy cooking one of his specialties; Kaldereta Chicken with pineapple.As planned, the morning of this Christmas day we returned to Manila to be with our respective families."I won't agree, yet." I laughed a little while helping him cut the ingredients he would need.The reason why we're cooking is that later this evening, we're expecting to have visitors---Eli's family are whom I am talking about. Aunt Lea wants to be with us this Christmas---Papa and I. So, to return the gratitude, Papa and I are the answer to the food and the venue is here at our house."Come here, Irene. Taste if it tastes okay.""Hey, you haven't put these pineapples in yet-""That's just for garnish, hija." And again Papa beckoned me to come to him.So, that's what I did. I came closer and tasted if the taste of what Papa had been cooking was okay-"Are you even real? This… is delicious, yet!" And I scoop

Is there only one person who wants to destroy my life with Eli? But... who's that bitch?By the time I meet that guy, I'll make sure it's his last day out of jail. I will make that person pay and suffer for threatening Eli's life and for attempting to ruin my relationship with him."Corrine, are you okay?"I came back to my senses when I heard Aunt Lea mention my name, and that's when I figure out that my mind was totally preoccupied passed in a couple of minutes."Uhh, yeah." To hide the awkwardness in my appearance, if there was any, I just smiled at Aunt Lea. "It was just the dish my father prepared for us that tasted so good.""That's how it affects me," I whispered.I don't know if my excuse was effective or if it was obvious that I was just boating in the middle of the cold weather. But thankfully, their conversation continued.As for Eli, because he was right in front of me, he slightly brought himself close to me to whisper. "Are you okay?"But I was hesitant to discuss with h
Wife of the Next CEO CHAPTER 76
Instead of arguing with Stacy and choosing to make the trouble worse, I remained my mouth shut instead. The shooting place is not the right place for me to let go of Stacy and for me to exercise my immaturity.For sure, Director's temper will only increase if there is a fight on the set. Our working hours may be more than 24 hours today if by chance.Director let us rest after shooting that imperfect scene, that eventually will be retaken after the short break. I must have missed Eli too much that's why I have mentioned his name during the taping.But the crying scene was still a broken puzzle to me. What were those tears for?"I'm the one you're looking for, Irene," I heard someone say… and it was Stacy. "Yes, definitely. I am the owner of the fan account and the one behind the death threats that Eli receives." And she was saying those words the whole time, smiling."Should I be surprised?""You should've been startled now. That's what I'm expecting." She laughed before going near me

My jaw dropped. "Y-You're threatening his life again? Is this a piece of a joke, Stacy?"I'm starting to feel my teardrops falling now, add to it the itching of my mouth with what Stacy said.I'm hoping she's fvcking kidding me!"Do you think I have extra time to mock you, Irene? I'm serious, okay?" She pursed her lips as if she was trying to kill me in annoyance. "I will really kill him if you don't break up with him.""N-No." Desperately, I immediately knelt before Stacy even though it was against my heart. "Please... not him. I can't break up with Eli. Don't kill him-""I thought that if you broke up with Eli, our lives would be better." Pointing her eyes at me, she smiled sheepishly. "You'll do me a favor, and eventually I'll return it to you.""Just think about it, Irene... if you divorce Eli, I won't hesitate to kill him anymore. You won't have to worry that someone will try to kill him on the very day of his concert. Your mind will be free to not that he remembers the moment yo

"Corrine!""Corrine, wait!"I stopped walking when Eli hugged me from the back. His hands wrapped tightly around my waist, as if he didn't want to let me go."Let's fix it. Let's talk, hmm? If you're not ready to get married, I'm ready to wait." He made his voice sound strong in between his sobs.But, I shouldn't be carried away. I shouldn't be fragile by hearing his words and by listening to his nonstop pleas.I forcefully removed his hand that was clinging to my body, and as I make sure that I can face him without tears flooding my cheeks, I faced him. "Eli, please... don't think that I'm breaking up with you because you surprised me with your proposal."Because in fact, I've been waiting for you to kneel before me and ask me to marry you."It's not like that. My intention for breaking up with you is because..." I couldn't think of anything to reason out."If not, then why?"He was trying to catch my beautiful eyes on him, but I couldn't even look at him in the eye. Because if I do
Wife of the Next CEO CHAPTER 79
"To kill the issue that is spreading about my break-up with Eli, everything is just a rumor," my opening statement as I was keeping my eyes looking strong in front of the camera. "We have no idea who's the person behind leaking this fake news throughout social media.""As we are facing the cameras right now to leave a statement, we are pleased to clarify everything that Eli and I are still in a relationship." At least I'd still call Eli as my boyfriend even only in front of hundreds of cameras and thousands of our fans."I just want to add to what Corrine said, I can assure both of our fandoms that there were no collisions that would ever happen between us. Remember our promise to all of you?"I looked confused at Eli for saying those words that were not in the script. I mean... it's not in the conversation that he needs to say publicly giving assurance to the fans that there will be no break-up between us. He is moving away from the goal we should now."That... I am forever bound wit

"Does it look good to me, Corrine?" And Stacy happily shoved the cartier watch that was from me... Eli gave it to the witch."No," I replied sparingly. "Because that's more suitable for a man..." That's why I chose that design... that's because I'm going to give the watch to a man. And seeing it worn by Stacy makes her look like a clown.The anger I had recently, disappeared like a bubble because of the mixture of Stacy's face with what I threw at her teasing. At least, I recovered somehow."Maybe it just depends if the person who gave it to you thinks it's a man," I added.I didn't waste my time to fight with Stacy as I immediately left the dressing room afterwards. My service van is also waiting outside to take it to the SGN Music studio—of course for the rehearsing part of the song that we'll gonna sing on our upcoming TV guesting.The reason why we are going to the SGN studio is because Eli is there, busy with his concert and also rehearsing other songs. It would also be nice to v
