Alice AndersonAt a moment, I thought the world was coming to an end after hitting my head badly on the table. I felt the pain but, I'm not the type who easily gives up on things. There's no way, I'm going to give up easily on him. I gently help myself up and watch him go through the shelf, looking for something, I guess. He got some documents and walk past me as he took back his seat. "Treating me badly won't make me give up on you if you must know. You need to stop pushing me away because it's never going to work" I said, daringly. He swiftly raised his head and look at me, surprisingly calmly without any bad expression on his face before burying his head back into the paperwork in his hands."Alice, get out of my room, now" surprisingly, he said in a calmer tone. "Why..?" I asked as I take a sit opposite him. "Tell me, you're too attracted to me and you can't resist this pretty lady sitting right in front of you" I swear, I have no idea I'm going to get a reaction from him. I sa
Alice Anderson"Are you fucking shitting me right now!" "Yes, yell all you want, Ken. I'm not leaving this room tonight. You're my husband and I have the right to be wherever you are""Have you forgotten what I told you about your mother?" He asked and my heart skipped a bit. As much as I do not want to believe this coming out from him, a part of me feels like, he's saying the truth and that, he held my mom captive. My eyes keep twitching from one place to the other before saying. "M...my mother?" I stuttered. "Do not get me upset, woman! Do not say, I never warned you. Just, get out! OUT!!""Why are you so eager in sending me out of this place? I ask you again Ken, am I a distraction to you? Do you feel restless whenever I'm around you?" I asked, daringly before taking a sit back. "No, you're not and you'll not be. Now, out" he said to me in a cold tone as he look straight into my eyes. "Then, prove it! Prove to me that I mean nothing to you. That, my presence means nothing to y
Kenneth DomancoI have no idea what came over me and what made me raise my head to look at her face as I saw her already sleeping. "crazy woman!" I muttered under my breath but loud enough for anyone who happens to be close to me to hear me saying that. I buried myself in my work and tried concentrating but all my power to concentrate more on my work, it's not working. This annoying woman is distracting me more with a crazy snore. I groaned and jumped up from my seat in anger. I walk to where she was sitting, ready to wake her up and ask her to leave my room but for some weird reason, I found myself crouching to her level and studying her sleeping face instead. How can one sleep on a chair like this and yet, still dare to doze off comfortably?Weirdo!I sighed before picking her up and placing her gently on one of my couches. Turning my back to her and continuing with what I'd been doing, I felt her suddenly hold my hand. I looked at her hand before her face and, this crazy woman s
Kenneth Domanco"Did you just say, an accident? How? When? I thought you said she was alive after that horrible accident we all had?" "Yes, she was. This happened to her a few weeks ago" "Oh my goodness! Please take me to her. I need to see my daughter. I'm sure she needs me by her side right now" "No, I'm afraid you can't. Not in this state of yours. You're also not strong enough to face her right now and, seeing her in that state might end up getting your condition more deteriorated. I'm making a promise to you that, I'm going to take good care of her on your behalf and when you're strong enough, you'll be able to meet and be with her... What do you think?" End of flashbackShe was so naive and believed every word that comes out of my mouth that day. She has been believing my words to date. I sighed in frustration as Philip's call came in again before I could do anything. "Boss, it was said to be nothing but stress" he said as I pick up the call. "What do you mean, stress? I a
Alice Anderson"He left? To where? What do you mean, he left already?" "I have no idea but I saw him leaving the house as early as possible this morning. I think you should ask Mrs. Martha because I saw her talking to him before he left" she said. Before she could say another word, I rushed out of the room and straight down to the living room. No, no. How could Ken do this to me? I thought, we were supposed to spend two weeks here together. How could he leave me alone here the following day after arriving here and leaving? What would Dad think if he comes to learn about this? "Hey, easy there young lady. What's chasing you?" She teased and chuckled at the same time. "Where is he?""Where is who?" "Where is he? I heard he left already!" I yelled in a worried tone. "Ken? Are you talking about him?""Of course! Who else but him? Where's he?""Didn't you two sleep in the same room? Why are you acting like you have no idea where he went to?""That's because I really have no idea of w
Alice Anderson"What?! What are you talking about? He changed? How?""He knew that you're not sick and he was never in love with me. I... I got to find out everything yesterday. I heard him say it clearly, he never wants me, Dad. He.. he only did that because of the inheritance. He knew you won't give him anything if he refused. I'm confused! I don't know what to do again and it's hurting badly" I break down in tears. " I can't believe Ken could do something as such! How could he deceive me just so he could have access to everything?! " He burst into anger. " He... I also heard him talking about his mom. He wants to find her. What's happening, Dad? I thought... I mean, you told me she's dead, right? So, why is he talking about finding her? " " Alice! Alice!!" I heard someone scream my name, bringing me out of my thought as the phone in my hand almost fell. I had to take the phone away from my ear and mentally hissed. "What are you thinking of? Have you been listening to me at all?
Alice Anderson"K... Ken? What are you doing here?" I asked, looking surprised. He walk closer to where I was standing and stopped feet away from me. "We need to make one thing straight. This building belongs to me! This... is my house, I can walk in wherever and whenever I want. You have no right to question me, don't you get it?" He said in an arrogant tone. "I'm... I'm sorry" I quietly mumbled. I have no idea you were here already. I thought you left for Seattle" "Wherever I go to or what I do is non of your business!" He hissed again. Okay, I should keep my mouth shut because this man ceases every opportunity to cut me off in whatever question I ask him. "I can see you know how to lie to people and make them believe your lies. It's good to know that" he said again. "Wh... What are you talking about?" "My dad, I heard every bit of your conversation with him. You're so good at lying. Well, I don't care what you do but, just make sure my Dad never knows about this going in bet
Alice Anderson"N... nothing is going on. We just decide to let things that way""I'm not a kid, Alice. And you can't deceive me forever. I know exactly what's going on between you two. I thought you were going to open up to me but I realized, you are not ready to do that. You think I don't know that this marriage between you two is nothing but a forced marriage? You two never loved each other even though, I could see a lot of sadness in your eyes whenever I bring up his name." She said and I choke on my food. "Hey! You need to be easy on yourself" she scolds before offering me water to drink."How... How did you know about Ken and me?" I asked her. "Isn't it obvious? You two weren't acting like a couple in love. Ever since the day, you two walked in yesterday, none of you looks happy. Ken was so angry yesterday night and you on the other hand look so sad. Also, he came here with that girl a few weeks ago. There's no way he will be in love with you and yet, still move around with th
