"Azeria dear... I'm still mad about the stunt my son did, but we’re still thankful that you and my grandpa are perfectly fine. "I lost your... mother," he grumbled."I can't handle it. You disappear from my son's company, and the same person does this again." He took a breath to stop her tears, but they collapsed. "It's like I was brought back to that day when he called me and said that you were kidnapped..." I also tightened my grip on his hands. "I'll make sure that bastard will rot in hell!" Now only anger dominates his face. I looked at the door when it opened, and Papa Horace entered. He approached Mama Serena, who was next to me and planted a kiss on the top of his wife's head. Mama Serena calmed down. "Let's go, baby; you need to rest." Papa Horace whispered fondly to his wife. "How about Azeria?" Mama Serena spoke worriedly. When he said that, Papa Horace looked at me. "Rezoir is on his way, dear; I just got my grandson."I nodded to him. "Go ahead, Mama, go with Papa," I sa
"Do you want to lay in bed already, baby?" when I talk to Rayver. We were both in the living room, and I immediately rested my body on the couch. "The way it looked when I left it, the place is still the same," I said. Now that I'm back here, his house has always been spotless. It's plain and simple. But now that I looked around, the house was empty. "Now that's too quiet, I wonder... will he be able to sleep at night?" I smile bitterly. I sighed and stood up. I went to the master bedroom. I put pillows side by side on the bed before laying Rayver down. "Are you comfortable, baby?" he yawned. I kissed him first before returning the luggage to the living room. While going down the stairs, I couldn't help but stop when I noticed the open door. It just doesn't close, or just doesn't close at all. When I entered, I realized where I was standing. Everywhere I look in the four corners of the room, Childish... Kindergarten... I covered my mouth and couldn't hold back tears. My legs we
"Why don't you stay longer at Romblon, Red?" With a smile, Theo said. What else could be on his mind—and why is he smiling again? as if he would be happy if Red gave it to him. "Why would I do that?" Red answered him with raised eyebrows. Theo shrugged. Red's eyes narrowed suddenly. "What's up with the smirk, jerk?"Don't tell me you still think I'm hooking up with that nerd." He said he was annoyed. Theo raised his hand in the air, which you assumed was surrender. "I'm not saying anything; can't I just want you to rest at the villa first?" "You're an issue!" "I don’t like her, okay; I don't hit kids, especially nerds," Red promised gruffly. "Who's her?" I am confused again by what they are talking about. Even though Lucas doesn't speak, if you look at it, it's as if he knows or has an idea of what the two are talking about. It's really hard to understand men sometimes, especially when they talk. Red scratched his head, and I snorted. "All right, don't answer. You don't shoot kids
After I fix its gear. I cautiously stood next to my son; his father and son were still fast asleep. When I left them earlier, my son was still awake. Giggling, Rezoir's eyes were closed when I left them earlier. So you know whether the spirit is sleeping or awake, but sleepiness draws you in. Now the two are knocked out. With the same gaping mouth, I got up from lying down. I can't help but take a picture of them because they are really cute together. inheritance from the father. I smiled widely when I took a picture of them; this is my first time being activated on my social accounts. I posted the photos on I*******m, and people who knew the photo immediately flocked there. Others still can’t believe that I have a boyfriend and a child! I cannot blame them. I'm not usually able to share what has happened in my life, but others are aware of what I'm doing. Even in college, others still had news about me. Only now there is absolutely nothing. So I won't be surprised that people I kn
"Now that I learn that today is his birthday, I feel so sorry for not being great to him early." Regretfully said. "And the fact that he wasn't in the mood right now," I added with a grin. Ravier laughed. "Nah, don't be so sorry about it." It's his fault for making you find out, even though he knows this is the outcome. "He knows it, Azeria, believe me." I held my breath. "I'll go ahead then. I'll talk to your cousin." "Sure, see you later." "See you later." He nodded, so I walked over to greet Rezoir. It's only stopped because of guests, you know. I turned around looking for his body, but I couldn't see it. Where did he go? I left him in the living room earlier! I saw Mother Selma, so I went to her. "Nana Selma!" I called when I saw that he was going somewhere else. Fortunately, Mom heard me. "Oh, Azeria dear! Why?" "Have you seen Rezoir Nay?" It shifted its gaze to the left. "I saw him enter the back door, going up to his room." I nodded and thanked him. When I went inside,
"Why does he want to talk to me?" I asked him in surprise. He shrugged his shoulders, and I looked at him as if he were just fooling me. I don't know, knowing his cousins and his brothers. When I'm tripped, I'm still possessed; I know if Rezoir was possessed just now and when I'm also tripped."The truth?" I snort. "What?" he asks, laughing slightly."I'm not joking, baby; he's looking for you." I stared at him for a long time. In the end, I also believed. I couldn't help but laugh because just one word from him made me okay; maybe it's just that I have a trust issue because of his reprimands from his cousins and brothers. They look serious, but they are right when they say that it is difficult when serious people are always pranking you. When I came to the living room, they were still busy. They were still putting some things away, so I asked a maid where Don Sebastian was. They said it was in the garden, so that's where I went. When I arrived at the garden, I was surprised because I
I watched him sit on the edge of the fountain, not even caring if the water splashed him. He immediately glanced at me and lightly patted his thigh. I walked towards him, and as he wanted, now he was holding me. He immediately rested his face on my shoulder. Out of nowhere, he suddenly asked this. "Do you prefer the serious or sweet version of me?" "What?" "I laughed," he said. "Seriously? "What's going on with you?" I can't help but laugh because of his behavior. Well, we will be together in a few seconds, minutes, weeks, and months. But I have never heard his voice so tender. Yes, I also thought that he would be like this. But now that he's like this, I can't help but laugh! I'm not used to it. And if he continues to be like this, I really won't be able to get used to it! I feel his shoulders shrug. "Just asking, I heard girls prefer men who are sweet." That's why I'm asking what you prefer. I also shrugged. Surprised at this time, I am still in awe that there must be a hidden
Simple but elegant. That's all I can say; everything that happens and I see feels surreal. But the thing is, everything is true. It's happening. Seriously, my heart couldn't beat for joy. I can't stop crying because I'm so happy... even if it's not in church. He made my dream come true—my dream of getting married at night. I have a crush on him. That even though I had forgotten him in my mind, my heart... still knows who owns it. Other than Rezoir, I thought it would be a long time—a long time—before I experienced such events in life. I'm not a perfect person; I'm grumpy. I'm picky... but despite the mark on my arm, he's smart. He gave me someone who would accept me completely. I was very emotional. Because, to be honest, I still feel a void. I would have been happy if Mama was still here; she would have witnessed how happy I was that day. But now my family and his family are complete. I also became complete and whole. Dad hugged me tightly. It's late, but Hacienda Hillarca is ve
When Azeria said goodbye, I looked up at the sky. Reminiscing what happened next. "Serena? I know you're awake." Loreto's voice. I'm fucking damned! So effin' damn! "Can't I leave right away? I'm already on my way to Tablas." I said with a snort. "Do you still have a hangover? I said we're going to Sibuyan." frowned when Loreto said. "Still sleeping, bro." Benito laughed and said that's why I made him suffer. Why do they think it's normal for them to be with me, as if they were me, I know that alcohol tolerance is higher. Last night it was time for me to confess, that I was the girl who fought with Horace at the bar. I know they are still in their right mind, as for me being naughty and stupid in front of the ancient son of the Hillarchs. It was alcohol that brought it, not Serena's person. "Grandfather has already arrived at the resort where Don Sebastian's birthday celebration will be held. So you can't go and not show up, Serena. Also, Don Sebastian is expecting you." said Erm
"Your Papa Horace and I didn't know each other that well, dear." Mama Serena spoke to me when I asked how her friendship with Papa started and how she and Papa Horace met for the first time. I just ignored Rezoir who just shook his head next to me. "My first meeting with Horace was a bit glitchy and hilarious, sweety." She smiled at me, a smile that reminded me of the past I know where it started. She then started telling a story. The reason is the one that changes a person, who at first did not believe. How can you say that the word 'reason' can change someone? When I heard that from a stranger, I didn't take it seriously. But when tragedy happens, and I remember those words, maybe it's true. Reasons can change people. "Are you sure, Serena? How are you studying?” my cousin Erman spoke worriedly. I was not surprised by this question, I made my decision though I'm not yet sure if my relatives on my father’s side would agree to it. "I'll stop first, I don't think I can focus after
Lucas thanked Theo's maid. Lucas was sitting in front of Thaddeus' couch. Lucas looked at the other side of the stairs when he saw the boss coming down. "Sir, I'm leaving." Thaddeus nodded. "All right, be careful on the way home." "When Mama asks if I'm bringing a girl here, say yes." Lucas laughed. "A-Alright sir..." stammered the maid. He was upset because that's actually what Theo's mom was asking him. to which she answered nothing. But because Sir Theo said that there is, that is probably what she will say to his mama now. even to an innocent child. "When you are a demon, you land." Lucas commented that the maid had already left. Theo frowned and lazily looked at Lucas, while Lucas noticed that Theo looked like he was on a bad trip. "I’m pissed, Leonardo." He said. "I see," Lucas answered. "Come on! Don't sit pretty there! It disobeyed him. and tortured him; Lucas just shook his head. Since their cousin Azeria is already in Manila, Android will be left on Theo's pad for a wh
Lucas felt his forehead as he looked at the participants in the interview. Is sitting in a chair where Theo belongs? "Why the f*ck am I here again?" he muttered. "Sir?" Thaddeus' temporary secretary called him. "Let's begin," Lucas said, and the secretary nodded to him. The interview starts. Lucas didn't know; Theo was still in high school and was the most immature of the three of them. He understands, because of the three of them, this is the youngest. But of course, he didn't think that his cousin's demon status would end up like this. You'd think he was the one assigned to interview his newly hired secretary. He was indeed chosen by their grandfather because he is said to be good at handling business. Is it true? Not! If his grandfather knew this, what is his favorite grandson doing? Lucas shook his head, and when he came forward, he was surprised to see that the applicant was pale. Lucas tasted it. "Continue," she said, surprised and nervous at his sudden shaking. Since he's her
But he in the middle looked after the old and the young. The speed of the car was only moderate. Red looked left and right. ventured to see the villa that Lucas was referring to. The rain continued to pour for a few hours. Red planned to just go home, but because of the heavy rain, There were hundreds stranded, so he couldn't pass. He had been driving for a few minutes when his cell phone rang. He immediately answered it. "Ma," he said, greeting his mother, who was on the other line. "Oh, it's good," answered Redrick. "I thought it was Lucas who would open it." "Why did you get called Ma?" "It's raining heavily, and I know that I'm stranded on some paths." "Do you still remember your godmother Rosemife?" "Yeah," Red replied with a frown. Her mother hadn't mentioned her godmother in a long time, so she was surprised when she heard her name. "I still know her face, but I'm not sure if she can recognize me." "She will! He was called a while ago because, lately, we had a connection aga
They only had one car, a red one. They used Theo's car; they talked at three o'clock. They exchanged contacts, and they are on their way to the venue where their picnic will be held. The place is close by, but they keep stopping on the way and buying things that can be taken away. Even though one had the answer to the drink, the three still bought a beer in a can. "Is it all right?" Red asked Lucas. Lucas nodded. "Yes, that's probably fine." "Come on, they're waiting for us." Theo showed his phone with a message. The two nodded. At this time, Lucas was the one holding the steering wheel. The place they are going to is good and has a villa nearby. That's the plan because Lucas is the oldest of them. since he probably won't get all drunk, just in case the two are completely drunk. But Red is in charge of drinking alcohol. He'll just be tipsy, but he won't be completely drunk. Things were already laid out when they arrived. It's okay, they're the last ones. The companions immediately gr
The line was long, so Theo complained to Red's side. even though Red threatened Theo not to follow him to the university he was going to attend. Since when has he been an obedient person? Of course, the three of them end up together. "Damn it, I'm going to throw up." He is still holding his stomach. Red immediately slapped the handkerchief he was holding on Theo's cheek. "You're a fool, you said to have breakfast!" Red's sermon to Theo They are the last in line. From where they were standing, who was in the first row? None other than their cousin Lucas. Of course, the three of them. Lucas is the early person, but Red still saw Lucas's missed call this morning, which will reach ten. It's only the fault of the person complaining on the other side of it that they are at the back of the queue. Unfortunately, Theo has a surname, and he regretted agreeing to be a householder. It was just this morning that it was looked at, and I hope they don't get rejected from the course they want to ta
"Oh, Aze. Here are the women! "It's like it was meant for you!" Azeria frowned. "Really? Look." Azeria immediately approached Theo. Sitting next to it, the two were on the floor while Lucas and Red were sitting on the couch and watching them. "Yes, that's right. Some are purely female but are named after their grandfather. Weird." "Isn't there something like that too, Aze?" Do you remember? "It was like a single wrap," Theo commented on the gifts he had kept that he knew were for women and Azeria. "I don't remember." "But isn't it a little strange, Lucas?"Azeria said. Lucas just glanced at him. "Maybe it belongs to you; after all, they know that you are grandpa's favorite grandson." The three grinned, and Azeria immediately frowned. "What's with the favorite?" I'm not the favorite; Theo is! Look! "He is unwrapping the gifts!" Azeria pointed to his cousin. "Yes," said Red. "Then Thaddeus is the favorite grandson." "Oh, what are you arguing about again?" Roda interjected as she p
Special Chapter I Hacienda Tacata has a new day! Everyone is surprised because today is Don Vicente's birthday. The Tacata clan is complete; the relatives in Spain, Tokyo, and America came home just to join Don Vicente on his birthday. Roda is currently busy in the kitchen; the butler is at the hacienda. Theo's footsteps slowly approached the old woman without a sound. "NANA!" he shouted. Roda let go of the spoon she was holding; she looked shocked. "Thaddeus! "You scared me!" she said. "Can’t you see I'm cooking?" You, kid! What if I spill oil, huh? "Do you think it doesn't hurt to be kicked?" "Whoa! "Easy Nana, easy," Theo grinned and laughed. He immediately picked up the ladle on the floor, placed it in the sink, and took a new one. "It seems like something is being pulled, Nana. What? It—" "Theo!" Even before Roda could pronounce him, he called his name again silently. "Dead! Azeria!" "Child, what have you done to yourself?"Theo immediately ran out of the kitchen. It used
