"We're here, Miss Maine," Luna eagerly ushered her into the elevator."It's beautiful here. How long have you been with the company, Luna?" she asked."Just a year, ma'am. It's tough to get in, so I seized the opportunity when I was accepted. The compensation is good, and stay-in staff even get quarters.""What's your salary here?" she asked."10 thousand, but there are deductions like Pag-IBIG, SSS, and PhilHealth. With the health card, it comes out as eight thousand, plus free lodging and food.""Your boss seems stingy. Only eight thousand every half of the month?.""Oh, sorry, It was weekly!"She was surprised. It was substantial, especially considering everything was provided for free. It felt even better than working abroad."Wow, that's a decent amount.""We also have a centralized tip used for team building, Christmas parties, and various events.""This place seems good. How's Demi as a boss?""He's fine, but not as kind as Mr. Sandro.""Mr. Sandro?""Yes, Mr. Sandro. He's a lo

When the elevator doors opened on the ground floor, two men with tied hands, bruised faces, and torn clothes emerged, accompanied by a woman in white shorts."That's Sir Justin and Sir Nick. Weren't they supposed to have a meeting with Sir?" one staff member remarked."Help them!" shouted a tall, muscular man came with a name plate like Luna has "Boss, what happened to you?""That woman there, so arrogant, just kicked us out for no reason!" one of the men explained."She got angry just introducing herself! Hey, you're no beauty either!" retorted another."Especially you, if we use the right term, you look like a devil. Not handsome and with a terrible attitude. With a face like that, focus on improving your attitude," the woman added."Why is there a squatter in here? Get her out!" the male manager ordered."Miss, please leave," one staff member said, "we might get scolded by Sir.""Who's Sir?""Sir Demi.""I'm not leaving! Call your boss if you want! Those two disrespected me, play t

"My favorite niece, are you okay?" her uncle Sandro hugged her."I-I'm okay, uncle. W-what happened?" she asked, puzzled."Nothing, everything's fine. Why?" he replied with a smile."Where's De-Demi?""He's busy. Let's go inside," he said, guiding her into the room. "How are you, Luna?""I'm okay, sir," she replied while adjusting the bathrobe she brought earlier."Someone barged in earlier—they shot at us," she reported to her uncle."Oh, it was just a toy gun. They left already," Sandro replied with a grin."But I saw—""Saw what?"She glanced at Luna, who was busy with something. Nothing seemed unusual in that room. She wasn't hallucinating."But uncle—""It's nothing. Maybe you're hungry. Come on, Demi prepared food in his room. Let's go eat there. He's waiting. Luna, let's go.""Alright, sir," Luna replied, leaving first. As they exited, Luna locked the unit again.Glancing back at the room they came from, she thought, 'weird.'They entered a larger unit, more like a house than j

"Hey!! Maine!!" her grandmother's voice echoed, "my grandchild, what's happening to you?"She opened her eyes, finding herself in her room, lying on the bed. Her grandmother's worried face greeted her. As if she's there for quiet sometime."Grandma!" she hugged her tight."Why? I came in here, and you were having nightmares. I got worried, good thing I came to check on you. Demi and your uncle are outside. He brought food. He said you came from his farm earlier. What time did you go to sleep?""I'm not sure, but I fell asleep right away upon arriving. You were already asleep, so I didn't inform you that I was back."'Thank goodness it was just a dream. I thought it was real. I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. If Lola didn't wake me up, would I have died?'She stretched her body and then hugged her grandmother."Oh my God, hahaha why?" her grandmother hugged her back."Nothing, Lola, I just felt like I missed you."She assisted her grandmother out of the room, where Demi a

She woke up excited that morning, stretching her arms eagerly. Who wouldn't be thrilled when someone else is treating? She already had a list of things to buy, having saved a lot during her time in Manila, partly supporting her ex, Dylan.In contrast to the past, she's getting ready, applying a bit of powder and lipstick. She wore a cropped top with a matching blazer and shorts, all in white with a ribbon on top. Carrying only a small bag, she finished her look by tying up her hair before leaving. This style suits her well, giving her a more Chinese appearance. What's her plan for the day?When she stepped out of her room, her grandmother was already there, holding a basin of water and a towel."Good morning, Lola!" she greeted. "What's that for?""Your uncle Sandro has had a fever since earlier. I already gave him a cold bath," her grandmother replied."Oh no, does this mean we can't go?" she asked."Go ahead, and don't worry about your uncle. The mall is still far from here. Let him

As the woman approached them, she could see how stunningly beautiful she was. Her perfect figure seemed to draw their attention. She wore heels and a red dress that hugged her body, reaching knee length.Her nose appeared natural, and even her dimples. Pouty lips and long lashes framed her captivating eyes. Her hair, curly like Mama Mary's, added to her overall beauty. She couldn't help but admire the woman's allure."Hi there, Demi, how are you?" she greeted with a kiss, "this must be your daughter? Oh just kidding, your niece perhaps?""I'm Maine," she replied."Maine?" the woman raised an eyebrow, "oh, the little girl in his frame, with Sandy, right?""We-- when did you arrive, Matilda?" Demi asked, stumbling on his words."Oh, you're stuttering again. It's just me, Demi. I arrived last week," she answered."Who are you with?" Demi inquired."My fiancé, Art.""Art? I thought Mike was your fiancé?" Demi exclaimed in surprise."Oh, that scoundrel is already married.""Baby!" a foreign

"I'm getting hungry," Demi said to her."I am too," she replied, "where should we eat?""Ah, over there," he pointed to a restaurant that looked expensive."Let's not go there. It might be too pricey.""We might not get another chance to do this again," Demi smiled. "Let's also catch a movie.""Alright then..." they entered, and they were greeted by a waiter. "Do you have a reservation, sirs?" the waiter asked as they approached."Not yet," Demi replied."That's okay, we still have available seats. Please follow me," the waiter said with a smile."Table for how many sir?"Table for two, please," Demi replied to the waiter."OMG!! Are you guys serious about eating here?" They saw Matilda there."Yes, why? Do we need your approval?" she asked her."Dear.. you might hurt your stomach because the food here is for the wealthy," she grinned at him."That's exactly why I'm here, because we're wealthy. I don't need to rely on a man, because my family can provide luxury for me.. how about you

"What movie are we going to watch?" Demi asked, carrying her purchases. She wasn't supposed to buy shoes and clothes, but he insisted."Hmm, what's good?" she replied."You.""What?""Uh... I mean... you, whatever you want," he said with a smile."I thought you found me attractive, hahaha," she joked."You haven't met my standards yet," he countered."Wow, your standards are high," she pushed him playfully, laughing.Her smile faded when she saw Matilda again in front of the cinema. Demi looked at her with a smile, then glanced in the direction she was looking. His smile vanished."Well, well, well!" Matilda clapped. "And here comes the dynamic duo.""Oh, there's an old person here," she said."Old? Yes, I may be older than you, but I'm definitely more beautiful," she retorted."Really? Yes, you're right, you're beautiful," she said, looking her up and down."I didn't expect Demi to be into younger women. Why? Can't you find someone your own age?" she continued."Matilda, stop it!" De

"What do you think we should buy as a gift for grandma?" she asked Demi, just as they got into the man's car."Maybe just fruits, how about for Sandro?" Demi asked in return."I already know what to get for uncle, I'll take care of that," she replied to the man."Let's go, it's getting too dark, we might not find any open stalls at the market tomorrow," she urged him.Demi quickly drove the car away from that place. Along the way, he recounted the history of the places they passed, which she hadn't experienced when they were built, such as parks and buildings. There were still many vacant lots, but there were also many establishments standing there now.They saw a fruit vendor, and as they got off, Matilda and Art arrived, seemingly following them."Are you following us?" Matilda asked them."How could we be following you when we arrived here first?" she replied. "Ma'am, how much are the bananas?""I'll buy all the bananas!" Matilda said. She handed the old woman a thousand."How much

"I love Matilda so much. Since high school, she has been my dream," Demi began. "Many are drawn to her because of her beauty, and I was also attracted to her for the same reason.When we went to college, we attended different schools because she studied in Manila, like you. Despite it being odd, I passed by her house every day just to catch a glimpse of her. Her family is well-off.She didn't come back for several years, even during Christmas. It turns out, her family goes to Manila. She's their only child.Our business suddenly collapsed 10 years ago, around the time you left, and my parents got sick. All that's left for me are the lands here.Then Matilda suddenly came here. She acted differently, but she became even more beautiful. Our paths crossed again, and from our looks, we understood each other.However, Matilda is extravagant. In the more than five years we've been together, there are many things she desires that I can't provide.""What happened when you couldn't give her wha
