After he had answered his wife’s question, Mark became uncomfortable the whole time. He didn’t dare to chase after Aimie- with what he had responded to her earlier. Whether or not he still likes Vega, Mark was honestly confused about his feelings. Mark hoped that he had totally forgotten about Vega else the flirting gestures he had centered for his wife would all be for naught.
Mark adjusted his outfit; he placed the necktie again around his neck and combed his messy hair. He was about to head out when he heard a soft knock on the door; Mark was then mistaken that it was Aimie- who had returned to their room, so Mark happily opened the door. But he was soon discouraged when the person whom he thought would be in front of him was someone else.
“Why are you here, Vega?” Mark said, not hiding his disappointment.
Vega immediately hooked her arms on Mark, causing Mark to grimace for a second before he schooled his expression and smiled at Vega
When Mark had seen the video footage, he immediately summoned all the private guards of his family. He was anxious since Aimie had suddenly run away.Mark was facing back and forth; his neat and clean appearance became that of a person who has worked for five years without taking a break. He only stopped his dizzying movement when the captain of the private guards had finally stood in front of him.“My wife, she’s gone,” Mark’s last straw of confidence had finally snapped when he had seen the man whom he had trusted since he was still a child.“Relax and tell me everything that happened.” The captain, who is called Sanders, said while lightly tapping Mark’s shoulders.“We had a serious talk earlier, or you could also say that we had a light argument,” Mark messed his hair while giving a few explanations to Sanders.Mark didn’t divulge all the things that had happened
As soon as Angelo was done planning where he was going, he instantly stood in his seat and dusted a few dirt from his outfit. He looked around before he started to walk towards the exit of the mall. When Angelo had almost reached the mall’s passage, he suddenly stopped and remembered that he needed to buy something in the pharmacy. Angelo started to find the mall’s pharmacy using the mall’s system information, and when he saw one on the second floor, he instantly went to the second floor.Angelo was leisurely walking his way to the pharmacy when he felt someone was following him. He stopped in his tracks for a few seconds before he continued walking. Still, instead of heading to the pharmacy, Angelo decided to take a detour and proceed to the exit area of the mall- without alerting the person who was following him.While Angelo was walking, his steps became hurried, but he still maintained a composed attitude, as if he didn&rsqu
The instant Angelo’s body had touched the soft mattress, he instantly went into sleep, perhaps because of fatigue and that it was almost dawn that Angelo had woken up haft past noon. At first, Angelo was confused since the surrounding was unfamiliar to him. It took him a couple of seconds before he realized that he was staying in Rain’s house. Stretching his sleeping muscles, Angelo heads to the bathroom; he had also let out a big yawn like a lion as he treads to the toilet.Angelo took a quick bath, afraid that Rain might scold her for being slow. As he went out of the tub, Angelo noticed the neatly folded casual clothes on the bed. While looking at the orderly stack of clothes, he shifted his gaze and looked on his left and right as if trying to find the person who placed the new set of clothes on the bed.As he didn’t find the person who had brought him the clothes, Angelo just grabbed the clothes and went back inside the bat
Angelo’s original plan to stay in Rain’s house for a couple of days was not followed since the three days he had planned to stay in Rain’s residence had gotten into seven days, and the seven days had lingered for almost a month. The reason it had prolonged him nearly a month of stay in Rain’s house was that Rain would not let him go, whenever he would bring the topic to Rain of needing to leave her residence, she would cry and cling to Aimie’s legs with so much force making Angelo unable to pursue his plan.He even tried to use different plans to escape from Rain, but it seems that the woman could read his next move, making his plans spoiled. Yesterday Angelo tried to leave in the dead of night. He thought he was finally able to depart from the residence, making Angelo start to feel sorry, thinking of not being able to bid his farewell to Rain. Still, when he had gotten near the fence, Angelo was shocked to see the figure o
“The thing is, Angelo and I met in the marriage hall. The two of us were not supposed to be married to one another, but I guess it was fate that had led us to meet that day,” Angelo began to narrate what Mark had said unto him and also used the memories of Aimie about the fateful encounter she had with Mark. “Wait before you continue, you’ve encountered each other in the marriage hall but are not marrying one another? I don’t quite follow the logic.” Rain said as she shrugged her shoulders since she was bewildered by Angelo’s explanation. “Let me finish everything so that you could follow my explanation,” Angelo replied in a sassy way and rolled his eyes because of the way Rain cut off his words. Rain’s lips quivered for a second before she gestured for Angelo to continue his explanation. “I know you’re bewildered with what I have said, but it was like what I have told you. The reason why we’ve met in the marriage hall was that because Mark and Vega w
Angelo gulps while nervously looking at the person who had a wide grin on her lips, but her eyes were void of any form of emotion. The chilling expression was not only on the face of the person sitting on the couch but was also felt throughout the surroundings, making Angelo cower in fear.“W..why are you suddenly letting out such scary expression?” Angelo asked while stuttering; it took a lot of courage for him to form coherent words in front of the person sitting on the opposite side of him.“Why did Aimie suddenly become so scary? This attitude is totally different from her memories.” Angelo grumbled in his mind as cold sweat dripped from his forehead.“Who won’t be pleased when someone was whining in his mind making me unable to cross to the other world,” Aimie said as she pointed at Angelo, it was as if she claimed that it was Angelo’s fault that her trip was postponed.“Who
“H...how can this be...” sweat trickled down Angelo’s forehead as the humiliating event of his past had kept replaying in the screen. When the vexation inside of him could not be contained, Angelo swiftly looked at Aimie with a sharp gaze. “What would get by replaying this kind of thing?”The sharp gaze Angelo gave Aimie was enough for an ordinary person to feel fear and stop their teasing, but his threat was ineffective since the person in front of Angelo was Aimie.“I guess it’s for my entertainment,” with a hint of mischievousness, Aimie responded to Angelo’s jarring provocation.Aimie then went near Angelo, placed her arms around his neck, and whispered something on Angelo’s ear, making Angelo blush and fling her arms away from his neck.“That’s ridiculous!” The shout of Angelo was heard throughout the vast land of lilies; it even echoed back to where they were standing, mak
Angelo, who had utterly become Aimie, went out of her bed with so much conviction. She changed her outfit and made her way towards the living room hoping Rain, just, as usual, would be sitting on the couch and would be reading her magazine and sipping her favorite tea.Her slow steps began to hasten as she treads the long and vast halls of Rain’s house; the steps she made were noticeable in the quiet hallway that it was impossible not to notice her haste. Aimie was panting the instant she had gotten to the living room; she even leaned her body in the entranceway of the living room.But Aimie’s expectant gaze immediately diminished when she did not see even the shadow of Rain. Aimie decided to head back to her room with no other choice since Rain was currently nowhere to be found. She didn’t try to find out if Rain was inside her room since Aimie knows that if she can’t find her in the living room, Rain would also most likely not be in her room.
