Chasing The Broken CEO #22
The next day, I could see the excitement in my parents’ eyes because they have already learned that the engagement party will be pushed through by next Friday. I decided to join them in our dining for the breakfast before coming to work. They seem to be so happy, smiling widely as they talked about the details of the engagement, seeing the brightest future they could enjoy as soon as the merge happens. “I will be seeing Czarina Zendejas by tomorrow so that we can finalize the lists of guests. She mentioned that they would be the ones who will organize the event so we have nothing to worry about! They only hope that there will be no trouble and Nathalie would be there to join her fiancée to announce their engagement! I'm just so excited!” my mother clasped her hands in front of me, gushing in glee that their long-lost dream is finally found and in their hands already. My father laughed heartily. “See what is just going on? The Zendejas really loves the idea of getting our busines

The aggressive waves were crawling to the white sand shore. It was beautiful and had a good view to see. The cold and fresh air smelled like salted water blowing gently which embraces my whole body, making me shiver yet it feels very relaxing and satisfying. The green-colored Marlboro hills were fascinating too and it made the place so perfect and breathtaking. Even the old houses were built out of pure brick stones beautifully. I could not help but feel amazed and in love with the place of Basco, Batanes. I turned my gaze to the Tayid lighthouse located on the far hills from where I am standing. It is painted white with red lines on the very top. It is too tall and I bet the entire scenic view would be visible from its balcony. I looked at the blue sea in front of me. I felt like the waves are swaying me, making me feel comfortable and relaxed like this place is a true home that I finally found. I arrived here yesterday but I did not have a chance to roam around because my heart

I smiled widely as I stood up and walked towards the little machine she is using to create a pot. I am really fascinated by how it moves in a circle slowly while a huge amount of clay of mud is placed in the middle, waiting to be molded by bare hands. I sat on the chair in front of the machine with excitement evident inside my chest. I looked at the young girl again and she nodded her head, waiting for me to try it myself. I slowly touched the clay mud as it moves in a circle. “Oh, my goodness!” my heart almost jumped inside my chest when I felt the clay on my palms. It feels like a single-hand move would destroy the clay into pieces. That scares me a bit! It’s already a bit molded and I do not wish to destroy its form! “No worries, Miss. Let me show you how to do it.” The young girl sat beside me and then she held me in my hands and slowly guided it into the mud. She helped me mold the mud gently and it is working! I laughed a bit when I finally got a grasp of how it works. I b

I woke up feeling so positive and excited the next day. I took a bath and did my morning routine. I wore a black wrap-around dress partnered with black sandals. I have nothing else to do here in the hotel so I would visit Bea instead and would help them in creating pots! She also agreed with this when we talked before we went home last night. I ate my breakfast at the hotel’s diner alone. After that, I went out and started to walk in the near village where Bea’s place is located. It’s a good thing that I can visit them without the need for a vehicle. I inhaled the fresh air and looked at the hills on the side of the road. I smiled happily as I looked at it. It’s really beautiful and makes me feel calm. I gazed at the far sea and the waves seem to be calm as well. I stopped for a moment and closed my eyes. I held my summer hat when the air blew my hair abruptly. I sighed in relief, thinking of the nicest things I would do today with Bea. “Hi there, Madame! Good morning!” I arrived

I wanted so badly to turn my head and look at the guy behind me, however, I can’t do a single move. My knees felt so weak right now. For heaven’s sake, my life is in danger right now! Once he pulls the trigger, and with only one shot in my head, I will be dead... All of a sudden, the faces of my parents appeared in my mind. I sobbed loudly as I remembered all the good memories I have shared with them. In just a minute, I missed their smiles and presence. “P-please... Don’t... Don’t do this... Don’t shoot me... Spare my life, please...” I begged for my life with tears running down my cheeks. The man laughed devilishly. I still feel the gun on my head. His laugh made me tremble in fear. I am becoming so hopeless knowing that nobody is around to help me. I am stuck with this man whom I don’t even know and who would kill me anytime. He laughed once again and I felt that death is really coming after me, so I cried endlessly, praying that someone would come and save me. “Oh, f

“I will call your father to inform them that you are safe. Please don’t do something stupid, Risha. Get some rest,” he said in a lower tone. He went out of my room after that. Still sobbing on my bed, I looked at the closed door he went out from. He’s too cruel! For all I know, he’s going to tell everything to my father so that I would be scolded again once I return to Manila! Oh, my goodness! The next day, I am still in a bad mood and I don’t have the energy to do anything. I don’t even have the appetite to eat my breakfast simply because of two reasons. First, Evan forced me to get up from bed even though I didn’t want to go out and join them. Second, I am sitting at the same table with Ash, the bastard who pointed a gun at my head for fun last night. “Good morning, Mademoiselle!” Ash greeted me with a boyish grin on his lips. “What is good in the morning?” I snorted and rolled my eyes. I picked up the food menu and just looked at the list of food. I don’t give a fuck if I

Bea and I have already finished making two pots when I felt the need to go to the restroom. Auntie let me use the restroom available inside their house. After peeing, I also checked myself in the mirror. I put my hair in a bun and wiped the sweat on my neck and forehead. I re-touched my makeup and then went out again. I was smiling from ear to ear but it faded away the moment I saw Evan and Ash talking to Bea and her mother. Evan’s eyes met mine. My lips formed a thin line. With my forehead creasing, I walked towards them. “What are you guys doing here?” I asked them, irritated. Evan’s eyes bore at me. He looked a bit cranky while Ash, on the other hand, was grinning like a professional devil. “We got bored in the hotel so we went here to annoy you,” said Ash which made me feel more irritated. He’s really getting on my nerves! Does it satisfy him to see me pissed off? Evan immediately turned around to face his evil friend. I knew that he gave him a dagger look. I rolled my

I sighed in relief when we arrived at the top of the hill where the Tayid lighthouse is located. My lips parted when as soon as I saw the beautiful view of the blue sea from where I am standing. A smile escaped my lips as I feel so amazed to see the entire province of Basco, Batanes from here. It’s really fascinating and it makes me feel at home. I gazed at the left part of the view where there are a lot of hills complimenting the beauty of the sea. The ocean below is very calm and the rock formations are adding up to its real beauty. On the right side, there are mountains, trails, and pathways going to the village and up here. I slowly walked towards the lighthouse. The cold and salty wind blew my hair. I ran my fingers through my hair and placed it on my left shoulder. I looked at the tall lighthouse and I can’t help but feel amazed because it is indeed fascinating. I mean... this whole place is! “Should we go inside?” Evan asked me curiously. I looked at him. He’s standing in
