Bound By A Red Thread THREAD SIXTEEN: SAVED
“IF YOU don’t want to get hurt, give me your bag!” the thief whispered, making Meredith to stiffen in her position. She tightened her grip on her bag because it contained the money she had saved for a month to pay off some of her father’s debt. Their boss gives them tips for their hard work at the café, that’s why they are all blessed so she had saved a lot somehow. The fog that night was cold, but she was sweating because of the danger she was facing right now.“P-please, have mercy on me. I have a lot of debt to pay,” she pleaded. The grace period given to them is next week. What to do?“I’m sorry, Miss, but I owe a lot as well, so don’t talk too much. Will you hand over your bag or I will bury my knife in your waist?”No way! She needed to flee. Until she had no choice but to step on his foot with all her strength to force him to release her. She immediately ran but he caught her hair. She couldn’t do anything but closed her eyes to the possible consequences when the thief suddenly
Bound By A Red Thread THREAD SEVENTEEN: AGREED
“D-DON’T tell me you agreed to your grandfather wishes?” Meredith asked when she realized what Randall had said.Meredith knew Randall could afford that large sum, but at his age, he didn’t, for now, especially since his inheritance would only be given if he agreed to what his grandfather wanted. Randall looked her in the eyes. “Well, that’s the only way I can think of to solve your problems. We will both benefit if we agree to Grandpa’s dying wish.”He pointed a finger on her. “You, you can pay your debt instantly.” Then pointed to himself. “And me? I will get my inheritance.”When he got no response from her, he continued. “I also realized that during the time I was happy-go-lucky, he never interfered with everything I wanted to do. He gives me everything I want so maybe it’s time for me to follow him, especially now that he’s getting weaker and weaker. Consider how this agreement will benefit both of us. All we have to do is to pretend in front of Grandpa to make him believe us. P
Bound By A Red Thread THREAD EIGHTEEN: PRETENTIOUS
“ISN’T your grandfather amazing? I can’t believe that he gave away the one million pesos so quickly.” Meredith commented as they made their way to Mr. Hakim when the weekend has come, the day given to them.“I told you, I’m his only grandchild, that’s why it’s easy for me to ask him. If there was anything Grandpa was afraid of, it was me going to America with Dad.”“If I have to bet on the Lottery every day just to save money to repay you, I will.”He laughed and shook his head in response to what she said. “You can do whatever you want. I’m not putting pressure on you.”She nodded. Until they realized they had arrived at Mr. Hakim’s place.“Let’s go straight to our business. Give me what I need.” Mr. Hakim greeted them.Randall showed the check to the paunchy man. Mr. Hakim was about to take it when Randall moved it away from him.“W-what are you doing? Just give it to him.” Meredith whispered when he do that to the paunchy man.“What the hell?! You really want me to get angry, don’t
Bound By A Red Thread THREAD NINETEEN: ENTRUSTED
“WHAT’S the real score between you and Randall? You even came in together and we saw with our two eyes that you were holding hands while walking,” Marylex asked curiously as she approached Meredith, while Shanaia waited for her response.She pulled them to the side of their room before telling them the truth.“Oh my goodness! For real?” Marylex said in shock after hearing the story.Shanaia folded her arms. “Looks like someone is in trouble because of what you entered.”She and Marylex looked at her in awe.“What do you mean, Shan?” she asked.She didn’t say anything, but Shanaia pointed to her heart which she immediately understood. “But you can prevent that from happening,” Shanaia added.“H-how?”“If you can make him fall in love with you.”“Right!” Marylex agreed.She didn’t know if she could do that. For her, their pretensions are difficult. What else could make him fall in love with her? Besides, she has no idea if she possesses the qualities he seeks in a woman.She shook her

A WEEK later, as part of Meredith and Randall’s plan, the two were able to go on a date to the Manila Ocean Park. They need to prove to Don Warrick that they are dating, but first Don Warrick summons them to his mansion.“Good morning, Granpa!” Randall greeted as he hugged his Abuelo.”Meredith took his hand and placed it on her forehead as a sign of Filipino respect. “Good day, Sir!”“Good morning!” Don Warrick greeted them back.“First and foremost, I would like to introduce Atty. Edaño, my personal lawyer. I entrusted him to discuss with you our agreement.”The lawyer handed them some papers. “This is the marriage settlement agreement. Please! Do have a look.”The two of them exchanged glances and carefully read the contract, which Randall immediately signed. Meredith gave him a glance as she handed the contract to the lawyer. There is no turning back because they have already paid Mr. Hakim’s debt, so she no longer has the right to refuse.“It says you promise to marry a week afte

(1982)“SORRY! I didn’t intend to bump into you,” Clayton apologized after colliding with a lady, causing the coffee she was carrying to spill onto her clothes and onto her friends.“Oh my goodness! Look what you've done! Are you blind?! You’re not even paying attention to what you’re passing by!” The lady in the middle said as she wiped away the stains on her clothes.“I’m so sorry, girls! I honestly didn’t—”“Back off! Don’t even think about wiping your dirty handkerchief on me! And take a look at yourself; where did you come from, in the jungle? You’re so out of date! Ugh!” The girl in the middle scoffed.She appears to be the group’s leader.“Gosh! He looks like a beggar," the lady on the left added.“Well, he’s such a hermit for me!” says the lady on the right.“Oh, gosh!

(1982) “PLEASE, remained seated,” Mrs. Garson instructed when Clayton and Leedon’s section was about to leave the room. “Before we end our class, I want you to put all your bags on top of your desk!” The entire class immediately followed even their faces are full of wonder. “What’s wrong, Prof?” asked Barbara. “Someone told me that one of you here stole a test paper from my desk so I want to know who that person is.” When their professor said that, murmurs filled the room. “Quiet!” the teacher yelled and began inspecting their belongings. “What’s the meaning of this, Mr. Basilio? You’re cheating on my class?” Mrs. Garson asked when he saw the test paper inside Clayton’s bag. His eyes widened in shock. “I-I don’t know anything about that, Ma’am. “What do you mean nothing? Everyone and I can see this test paper inside your bag! How could you?! You are one of this school’s Dean’s Listers! How shameless of you!” Mrs. Garson is furious. He bowed, not wanting to answer because he k
Bound By A Red Thread THREAD TWENTY-THREE: RESENTMENT
“HEY, Barbara! What’s wrong with you? You’re spacing out!” Letisha asked after they ate lunch at the canteen. They are now at their hangout place in BSU.“I’ve been thinking about Clayton. Were we too harsh on him?” she asked, causing Esperanza and Leticia to exchange glances.Leticia reacted. “Clayton? You mean the out-of-trend guy?”“Seriously, Barb? This is the first time you address someone you despise in their first name.”She shrugged. “I don’t know! When I heard what he’s going through right now, I suddenly felt guilty for the things we say and do to him, especially that cheating incident in class with Mrs. Garzon.”“I knew it! You are the one who put the test paper in my bag!”The three of them looked behind when they heard that voice from Clayton while he was holding a voice recorder tape.The three looked at each other in shock. “Oh my gosh, Barb! Do something!” Esperanza said as Clayton ran away.“He must have recorded everything you said! I don't want to be kicked out!” Le
