Fernando's POV
Micaela dropped me off at the motel and I thanked her before walking into the motel building. I almost got into the elevator when I remembered I didn't tell her that I'm going to meet up with her later to discuss what had brought me to the country. How can I had lose so much focus? I ran out to catch up with her but she was already gone before I got out. My return flight was booked to leave by 12 pm today with the intention I must have finished up with Micaela by 9am and return back to Madrid. But now, the time is 10am and I haven't even got the chance to discuss anything with her.
I stood there confusedly not knowing how to handle the situation. If only we weren't stucked in that goddamn elevator I would have been getting ready to leave now. How about I call her back here and ask her all I wanted to ask her? Would that be okay? I doubt she'd want to come back, she's been through a lot since last night to this morning and might be needing a good shower, food, and a good rest. Maybe I should let her rest for awhile before thinking of having any conversation with her.
But wait a minute, why do I even care about her well-being? I should be thinking of my business partners that needs me in Madrid. I can't spend another night here, maybe I'll just have to inform my PA to reschedule my flight to 2pm, I should be done by then. I dig out my phone from my pocket and put a call through to my PA. "Hello Mendoza, how are you?" I greeted when he picked up.
"I'm fine Boss, how are you too? Enjoying your short stay in Seoul?".
"I'm okay. For the second question, I've got no answer to that. All I need you to do is reschedule my flight to 2pm instead of 12, I couldn't finish up my mission on time so I'll be delayed. Do it and send the reschedule ticket to my email. Thank you".
"Alright Boss, I'll do that right away" came his reply before I hung up.What now? Am I just going to stand here or go inside and get ready to see her? I almost ask aloud but kept my thoughts in check went back inside. I took the elevator to the 18th floor where my room was located. Obviously my money just got wasted for a night I didn't spend. Don't even bother thinking of reminding me I'm a wealthy billionaire who can spend lavishly because I don't do that, I'm always so strict in spending my money. If I'm to spend, it should be on important things not irrelevant things. If it was possible to carry one of my luxury hotel rooms in Madrid down here, I would have. Oh yes! You can humour me if you want, is my money not yours.
I slide my room card to the door and I got inside. I flop on the bed with my back and a sigh escaped my mouth. Suddenly I felt aches all over my body, of course I know why I'm having such aches. Coiling up like a snake or a rabbit in that elevator lift last night till this morning is enough to send pains all over one's body. I held my neck and turn it and it made a crack sound and I felt a little bit of relief there. I wondered if Micaela would be feeling such pains too, and if she's feeling pains it'll be worst than mine because she looks too fragile.
Why am I thinking of her again? If she feels pain or not it shouldn't be my business, afterall she was the one that took me there to experience something I haven't experienced before. I shut my mind off any thoughts about her and I sat up and took off my clothes and shoes, left with only my boxers on. I should take a shower before having any breakfast.
While taking a cold shower, flashback of last night flooded my mind. ""Why do I always have to fail in all I do? Why am I always being blamed for other's people fault? Why am I so unloved? Why am I so unfortunate? Any time I try to do what is right, it ends up badly. Do you think I'm a cursed child? Could I have been the reason my parents also died and left me all alone in this world? I just hate to keep living" her voice and cries echoes in my head.
A groan escapes from me and I shut my eyes closed from the rushing water coming from the shower and I sweep my face to my hair with my hands. Why did she say that to me? Is she going through tough times? Was she still being bullied at this stage of her life? Why does she say she's a failure when she's a famous author with many fans supporting her writing? So strange one must think. I gave a long sigh and washed the soap off my body and got out of shower my towel wrapped around my waist.
I unzipped my red backpack which was the only thing that came with me and I brought out a white button up long sleeve shirt and a white pant. I changed my boxers to white before putting on my clothes. My pair of shoes were also white in color to match my outfit and I put on my diamond wristwatch. I glanced at myself at the mirror and brushed my hair with my hands and that was all I need to look perfect. I guess if Antonio and I should go modelling for any of those magazines he always brags about I'd be picked and he'll be shocked. I snorted and grin widely at the thought of it.
Just then my phone rang, I picked it up from the table. Speaking of the devil, he was the one calling. "Hey buddy, you should see me right now, I was thinking of applying for GQ Magazine, they wouldn't hesitate to sign a contract with me" I said and chuckled.
"Hang on" he replied and he hang up and then within a minute he called back with FaceTime. I shook my head amusingly and picked up.
"Don't tell me you're dying to see how hot I look. Sorry to announce it to you, but I'm no gay so don't check me out" I teased.
"Yuck, Barbara will kill me if I caught butterflies for you!" He yelled and I laughed so hard.
"Well, you were so desperate to see me I wouldn't know what to think" I wiggled my brows laughing and he laughed.
"You're looking really handsome man, what's the occasion? Did you find an angel that is making you dressed in white?" he asked and I groaned and rolled my eyes.
"I thought you promised not to bring that up again?".
"Well that's right, but your dressing got me suspicious. You looked like someone who is going on a date".
"I'm not going for any date. You do know I love dressing really good, besides this was the only extra cloth I came with here".
"Okay, i get it. So what's the update, have you spoken to Micaela yet? I guess you must have because your flight is an hour time".
My smile disappeared leaving me with a long face. "I haven't really spoken to her, I met her coincidentally yesterday but...."
"Coincidentally?!" my buddy interrupted and I nod. "How? Where and when?".
"Dude is a long story, I can't tell you all of it now, when I'm back I'll tell you about it. I actually rescheduled my flight to 2pm, so I have to go see her now and get this over with before I miss my flight again".
"Okay, I wish you goodluck, who knows, maybe you both...."
"Bye!" I hung up cutting him off his oblivious thoughts. I glanced at myself in the mirror once again and I whispered to myself, "Let's do this". I grabbed my backpack from the bed and put the clothes I'd worn yesterday inside it and my sneakers and I zipped it up. I carried it along with me knowing I won't come back here again because I'll be leaving immediately after my meeting with Micaela. I glanced around the room to be sure I didn't leave anything behind, seeing that was certain, I exited the room.
I hailed a cab when I got out of the motel building and told the chauffeur the address of where I was going. In less than 30minutes, I was in front of a mini mansion if I'm to call it that because the house looks really beautiful and wide but not to compare with mine, mine is a mansion for sure. I got down from the cab and paid the driver more than enough, I don't know why I did but I tipped him more, although I mentioned I don't waste money but being kind isn't wastage I guess.
Talking of Micaela's home, the outside was a beauty to behold, it was all white with glittering tiles and glasses surrounded by it. I'll say this is her own castle, she's living large her. But why did she sounded yesterday like she was suffering so much? Maybe I'll just ask during our conversation when I'm out with her. I hope she accepts to have breakfast or lunch with me because I don't plan on spending more than five minutes in her house that's if she's not all dressed if I should see her.
She had one security guard out, so I told him who I am and he communicated with her through the earbuds on his ear and I was let inside. I glanced around her house and I nod my head in admiration, I'm happy she became successful afterall. As I got to her doorstep and wanted to press the doorbell, the door swung open to reveal Micaela dressed in a white armless flair knee-length gown and her hair was styled nicely, she had few strands of her hair pouring on both sides of her face which suits her perfectly. Her face was make-up free, the only thing she had on was a lip gloss. Her beautiful appearance threw me speechless. Can someone remind me why I'm here again because I think I've forgotten.
Thanks for reading!
Micaela's POV I just finished dressing up and was about eating my breakfast prepared by my maid when I had a call from my security guard telling me Fernando is here to see me. My heart almost jumped out of my chest and I suddenly became so tensed when I heard his name. This isn't the first time I'm feeling this way. I've always had goosebumps right from highschool whenever I heard his name from many girls who were crushing on him, and when we both cross paths, the nervousness increases to the point I always lost my voice whenever I'm around him. I thought that feelings ended years ago but seeing him last night in that club coincidentally, I felt exactly same way I've always felt back in highschool. Hearing he was here again after all that happened last night between both of us got me so curious on why he wants to see me, I thought he was angry with me. How did he know where to find me though? There was only one way to fi
Playlist~ Halsey – Eyes Closed Fernando's POV Telling Micaela she looks attractive made me felt like I just committed a crime because it's quite an unusual thing for me to say to any woman. The only woman I've ever complemented is my mom, she deserves to be praised more than any other woman. She's such an amazing mother, the best of all mother's, I adore her more than I do myself. Although it hurts me not to give her a grandchild like she'd always wish for, but I can't do anything about it, she should just be patient, my younger brother will definitely give her many grandchildren someday when he gets married. Talking about Micaela, she's driving to a restaurant she knows in the city just like I'd requested. She's more familiar with the city that's why I allowed her to pick the restaurant of her choice. "Why do you like teasing my friend?" she asks glancing at me briefly before returning her gaze on the road. "No reason actually. I guess I
Playlist~ Neyo - Mad Fernando's POV By 3.30pm, I was already at the airport waiting for the departure time to elapse. I'd reschedule my flight for 4pm after I missed that of 2pm, so here I am ready to return back to Madrid without completing my mission of traveling down here, all thanks to Micaela. The earlier I realized I wasn't going to get answers to my past the better for me that's why I never went back to that hospital to inform Micaela I was actually leaving. Is obviously a waste of time to go back there, I mean what's the point when I knew already that the person I'm meant to have a conversation with is not up for it at this moment? Although it might have been unfair of me to not tell her I was leaving the city but I don't think I owe her any explanation. It was a decision I came up with at last minute while in the coffee shop. Before I had left the coffee shop, I asked my PA to reschedule my flight again which he did. Couple of minutes after I receive

Every day of my life I prayed for God to help me get over it and let go of the past but there was a constant message God keep sending to me which I kept ignoring. I needed to do the right thing which was to apologize to that innocent person I'd hurt so much in the past, but I've been so scared to face reality. I thought wr
Playlist~ Alan Walker - Unity Fernando's POV "Micaela don't do it!" I yelled my lungs out for her to hear me and she halted in between the waters surrounding her. I was right, it was Micaela after all that was in there. Where I was standing was like a hill and I could sight the river below where Micaela was. Thank goodness her yellow top was flashy enough to draw attention from up here. You might be wondering how I got here...well after a very long and tiring drive from Samcheong Park which was an hour drive from here and then I searched the rooftop, I also searched the malls which wasn't part of the list of places Sabrina gave to me but I just wanted to search everywhere before I finally found her here in Hangang River Park. I guess she's trying to get herself drown in that deep river. The day was already dark by the time I got here and the Park was so quiet and lonely. I only met two persons heading out of the park while I was coming to g
Playlist~ Celine Dion – A New Day Micaela's POV I woke up feeling so lightheaded and renewed, I've never felt like this for a very long time. What could be the cause of it? I sat up and then I felt something fall of from my head, when I glanced downwards to my bed, it was a towel. I furrowed my eyebrows confusedly and I reached out for the white towel. It was wet when I touched it and it makes me wonder why. I glance around the room looking for a clue on what had happened but I didn't find anything. I raised up the duvet and I found myself in another clothing. I gasps and fear creeps in, this wasn't the cloth I wore yesterday. What happened to me? How did I even get to my house last night? I stood up from my bed and walked out of my room to go find Ji-hye and ask her what had happened. When I got downstairs, I found her setting the table for breakfast. She gazes up and saw me and a huge smile spreads on her face. "Good morning
Playlist ~ Alan Walker - Spectre Fernando's POV Accepting to have breakfast with Micaela was all because I didn't want her maid Ji-hye to feel upset over my refusal of her meal for the second time. I understand I'm not a fan of being around the female gender and doing their wishes but at least I had to be a gentleman. After I'd accepted to have breakfast, then Micaela had to make me wait again for a reason best known to her. I had to request for her presence from her maid after a short wait. I was expecting to see her alone but she was accompanied by her friend Sabrina. Damnit! I forgot to let Sabrina know yesterday that I'd found her friend, I guess that's why she's here. I can give her the excuse of not having her contact which was why I didn't inform her sooner that I found her friend. Both ladies stood there whispering and stealing glances at me every few seconds. I waited for them to speak up but it was as if both of the

I can't believe I wasn't thinking straight when I stole a kiss from him. I'm such a heartless bitch! Wasn't it enough I ruined his life while he was just a teenager and he's still trying to get over his past and now I had to make him remember all of it again? What kind of girl am I?
