MichaelI drive in silence. The truth still hangs like a noose around my neck. Should I tell Matilda the truth? I feel like it's the right thing to do. But at the same time, I don't want her to feel even more disappointed and hurt than she already is. It's one thing that Hilda never truly loved Matilda. But another thing for Ronan.What Ronan had done is unforgettable and certainly unforgivable. Not only is he deceiving Matilda, but also keeping Hilda and everyone else in the dark completely. I turn to look at Matilda, and she's busy on her phone, and her expression seems serious.“Is something wrong?” I ask, glancing at her briefly before I turn my eyes back to the road ahead.She looks up from her phone. “Well... Actually, there's something you should know. Well, maybe I shouldn't, but I'd already promised not to keep any secrets from you.”My chest tightens. We'd promised to tell each other everything we were feeling. And she's ready to tell me something, while I'm hesitating to ev
MatildaI search online for any models that might have worked with Amanda's agency. Susie distracts herself by stalking Bernie on social media. But apparently he's off social media for a while.I look to find someone who's probably had an issue at the agency, and then I stumble upon a model, or rather an ex-model. Her name was Cynthia Rios.“Come take a look at this, Susie,” I say, alerting Susie who comes to sit next to me on her couch.“Did you find something?” Susie asks me.I nod, my eyes still at the laptop screen. “I find someone, a certain Cynthia Rios. She was a model back at the agency a few years back. But then she quit right before her big fashion show, and she disappeared from ever modelling again.” I say.“And?... What's so special about her?” Susie asks.“Can't you see? This Cynthia lady was a top model. She had been in the newspaper for months since she started, but guess what, after signing a contract with Amanda's modelling agency, something went wrong and she just w
Matilda“No way!” Susie gasps in surprise.I smile, feeling my cheeks heating up.“Are you serious? Y-you mean, Michael's gonna propose to you!?” Susie asks again, covering her mouth this time.I nod. “I know he is.”“And what makes you say that?” Susie asks.“He didn't tell it straight to my face, but it was so obvious that he was trying to get an engagement ring for me, Susie. You know, he was really terrible at keeping it under raps. But, of course I had to play along, and not ruin his surprise.” I giggle softly.“So what excuse did he come up with that made you so certain he was going to propose to you?” Susie asks me another question after another.“Well, he made this ridiculously absurd story about a female client of his coming to visit, and that she is super important and all that. And he plans to gift her a small gift, and that small gift have to had been a ring? Oh, come on.” I say. “And even more, he wanted me to be the one to choose it, why not go with Dennis, his assistant
Michael “Matilda's your daughter?” I narrow my eyes at Ronan because I don't think I heard right. “By blood?...” “Yes! So she's no orphan.” Ronan replied back. He's the one upset right now? The only person who has all the damn rights to be upset here is Matilda. I place my hands on both sides of my hips and take in a deep breath. “You're gonna have to explain this to me, Ronan. Because I don't fucking understand a damn thing you're saying. How's that possible? How can Matilda be your biological daughter when she was legally adopted by you and Hilda from an orphanage? Explain it to me.” Ronan sighed heavily. “That's none of your damn business.” And I smirk back at him. “And that's where you're wrong. This has become my damn business, Ronan. Because I'm the one who's had to be there for Matilda to burden all her worries on, so yeah, this is MY FUCKIN DAMN BUSINESS!” He glares back at me in return, but at this point, I don't fucking give a damn. “If you don't, I have my ways of fi
Matilda I walk straight to Susie's apartment. I feel like talking with Susie is sure to ease down my nerves and feelings. I can't stop thinking about what Michael had suggested on the way to the front door of Susie's apartment. I know it's been a while since I'd resumed my masters. And I wonder if I'm ready to go back. It reaches my mind, but then I can't help but feel that everyone on campus already knows about my scandal and the leaked videos online. Even till this day, I am still aware that some of those videos of me almost naked in front of thousands are still somewhere on the internet. Scandals like this are always hard to go away in just a couple of days. I try to open the door, but it's locked. I frown slightly because I remember informing Susie of my arrival to her apartment. Still, I decide not to think much of it, because I have a spare key. Susie had given me a few months ago, and practically said to me that ‘her home was also mine.’ I quickly open my bag and rummage thr
MichaelI'm shocked.No. I'm dumbfounded.I cannot fucking believe this.“Shit...” I mutter under my breath.“No kidding, dude. Like, your suspicions were actually right. Matilda is fuckin adopted. This is damn insane.” Daniel says over the phone.I'm tensed up. I can't believe that Matilda is adopted. And it all began to make sense now. Why Hilda treated her the way she did, and why Ronan even became so difficult and hard on her since childhood.“I still can't believe this... It is...” I'm still reeling from the shock when Matilda approaches me. She touches my shoulder, and I almost flinch the minute I saw her in front of me.I was literally on the phone, talking to Daniel about her, and here she was, just standing right in front of me. She looks at me, and I try to smile, but it doesn't work. My face feels stiff all of a sudden.“Is something wrong, Michael? You look tense.” She asks me, and I can only blink.“Fuck, are you with Matilda right now?” Daniel's cracked speaker voice hit
MatildaYes, my heart is broken as I enter Michael's office. It's always going to be the same. Michael will always prioritize Seraphina over me. I heard him pick my sister's call and didn't even want to hear whatever they were talking about.I know I shouldn't have done what I did, but I feel more
MatildaI don't feel like waking up but I have to. I sit up straight on my bed and I look out the window to see the weather gloomy and the clouds disappearing. The signs of an upcoming rain makes me want to lie back on my bed and pull the covers over myself once again.In short I honestly do not wa
Matilda “What the hell are you talking about? And don't you dare think to involve Sera in your little games...” I shut him up by showing him my sister's last I*******m post from my phone and he's quiet. Though Michael's eyes widens before he fumes. “What... I mean, it can't be.” “Next time, be s
MatildaI stand in front of the tall skyscraper glass walls building and I stare at it for a moment. The words WILSON GROUP is boldly written and engraved in dark steel letters on the glass walls, just a little above the entrance.I still can't believe my dad's company were now partners with Michae
