Her lips trembled. Sumire covered her mouth as tears slowly clouded her vision. She chewed on her lower lip, suppressing a sob to escape. Mort vividly saw how her eyebrows, ears, nose, and the corners of her eyes reddened. She was on the brink of tears. The maiden slowly step back away from him until she finally ran away from the basement when hot torrents of grief coursed down her face.The stranger's face was left full of astonishment, puzzled as his gaze followed the maiden running away from their place. Mort, on the other hand, just lets Sumire go and has no intention of following her. He just stood like the cold wall of the building, hot and unbothered at all while both hands rested on its pocket, oozing an air of superiority.When the maiden was completely out of their sight, the mysterious stranger looked at Mort, eyes filled with questions."Won't you follow her?" He asked Mort. Instead of answering the stranger's question, Mort picked up his phone in his po
"Oh god! This is a disaster!"Sumire blurted out loud once covering her mouth in disbelief. Who would have thought they will be caught by the paparazzi! Her eyes stare at the photo that is hot and top 1 trending right now on social media."Indeed. That's why I'll call a press tomorrow at 10 a.m. to clarify the issue. So tonight, prepare yourself." Eiryss said in a professional tone and preceded, "Before I drop this call, I just want you to know that the President is not mad about the issue. Goodnight, sweetie."Sumire could no longer utter a word when Eiryss finally dropped the call. Her mind is in turmoil right now and her issue is now quickly spreading all over the world. "Fuuuuuccckkkkk!!!!" she squealed out of frustration.Her plan to emote all night was completely thwarted. The maiden ended up her night sleeping soundly early on the sofa, her eyes swollen and embracing the teddy bear. On the table was a sticky note attached to the whiskey bottle w
9:30 am. It was a bright and sunny day. White, fluffy clouds drifted across the clear, blue sky. The fiery ball was at its mightiest and cast warm rays. The sweet gentle breeze swiped across the busy city. The city folk, young and old, hordes of shoppers flocks in the famous malls, peers, and families walked like shoals of fish in a myriad of directions. Parks were now hum of different activities. Every staff of the KCA building was busy preparing for Sumire’s press conference. The buzzing of chatters and gossip filled the place. Numbers of cars arrived one after another and there appeared flocks of reporters in their formal suits, journalists, photographers, and other media outlets. They all gathered in one place, setting up their cameras and other recording stuff inside.Sumire, on the other hand, is in her private room in the KCA building, currently having her make-up and hair done by her professional make-up artist and hairstylist. The maiden just stared at her own
It's almost been a month since the maiden's press conference about the issue was over, Sumire has become busy with her new project. During those days, Sumire spent her time studying the scripted lines alone in her home. She's trying to heal her heart and tends to forget the memory of her encounter with Mort. She goes to the KCA building and there, meets Trevor Gordeux. Sumire gets comfortable with him in just a short period of time. They meet from time to time, practice together with their lines and unexpectedly, a bond of friendship quickly forms between them. Sumire describes him as a gentleman, kind-hearted, and had a heart made out of gold. Trevor secretly helps the stray animals which Sumire recently found out. They go together to a pet shop disguised and surprisingly they share the same pet favorite: Cat. He also has various charities to help seniors and kids who have a grave illnesses. Sometimes, Trevor and Sumire are spotted together when they have an important eve
Gradually, Eiryss's eyes widened, pupils dilated as she had come to mind that the big frame of the top investor of the KCA company in front of them was as size as the man Sumire with in the captured photo. She even took out her phone and started scanning to make sure it was really him. But she had already searched the phone's entire gallery Eiryss couldn't find the certain photo that she surely had saved on the phone.She quickly turned to Sumire who had a blinking contest with the giant lad in the distance. Eiryss knew something is going up to them and the man was no ordinary businessman or gay at all. Eiryss senses the danger lurks at the male guest who unexpectedly visited their set today. 'He wears the scent of blood and death like his perfume ...' Eiryss utters inside her mind. "Is he the gay friend you are talking about?" Eiryss asked in a sonorous tone as Sumire almost fell into her seat.Sumire quickly stood up and covered her manager's mouth but she was to
Sumire felt like she was going to lose her mind after what he heard from Klauss a second ago. She slowly turned to Mort, various scenarios came flooding inside the maiden's mind made her even more confused. Her cheeks burn in red, not with delight to see the man in place again but with frustration. Fury surged through her veins. She could feel the wave of anger rose inside her like a tide.Sumire's inside trembled as she faced Mort who was also just staring down at her with no expression on his face."First, you're gay, and now you have a son? Wow, you really have a bag of surprises." Sumire sardonically said and her eyes peruse Mort's entire frame down to his bulge. 'How could I almost give myself to this guy? I can't believe this is happening...'The giant hunk could not answer and coldly met the maiden's flaming eyes on him. A hostile spark formed between their gazes.Klauss, on the other hand, had a triumphant smile on his face. The big grin plastered on his lips
"Why are you here?" Brows knitted into a frown, Klauss asked Narco. The golden-eyed young man exhibits his famous big mischievous grin at him. Narco didn't pay any attention to Klauss anymore, completely ignoring his nanny's existence in the place like he was just like an air.Narco sashayed towards his so-called rich daddy, Mort, with one hand buried inside his pocket and his right hand was big open as if he was asking for the penny."The payment." The young knavish man reached his hand to Mort. If truth be told, Narco has been sitting on a pot of gold ever since. All his needs were bestowed upon him by Mort. He grew up spoiled and stubborn. It was all Mort's fault Klauss was having a hard time dealing with their adopted brat. 'My service comes for a price. Nothing personal.' Narco snickered on his mind and he could still hear Klauss sighing audibly in the back.Klauss' pair of arctic blue eyes which are as cold as the Arctic glaciers were now blazing with flame. If on
The production team clamored inside the sophisticated Coittè resto-bar. The modern lounge bar counter and lounge area design epitomizes sleekness and sophistication with a sultry bar color scheme of blacks and greys accented by onyx highlights and textured rich jewel-tone fabrics, stimulating a heightened sense of seductive opulence. The place was soaked with smiles and laughter. Hundreds of conversations are told in loud voices, all of them competing with the music that dominates the atmosphere.

The staffs grabs bottles of alcohol from the counter accompanied by the clinking of glasses filled with wine, beer, whiskey, tequila, champagne, or any other alcoholic drink from the others at their table. The team occupied the entire area.They talk happily and some of them sing at a karaoke nearby. Eiryss was the first to sing and showed off her singing talent accompanied by the applause of other people around. Sumire was
