Vino stood looking at Skylar's retreating back with regret and longing on his face. He still didn't know how to react when he's with her? He fears that she might leave him, that is why he's behaving coldly with her. If only he knew, Elise would show up. He might have warned her earlier.
“ Vino!” Elise called to him, forcing a smile on her face as she ran up to wrap her hands around him in excitement. She gazed into his brown eyes, remembering the time she had spent with him.
“I miss you so much ” Elise drew pouting up at Vino who ignored her but kept her hands wrapped around his body which was shocking to Elise. She always knew Vino hated her but she loves him and will do anything to get him. She will never allow that sly bitch to get him.
“ What do you want?” Vino asked her, runn
Skylar stepped into the Thompson's Art Centre the next morning feeling embarrassed. She had talked herself from coming to work today, but no matter what excuses her subconscious mind has; she has always found enough reason to go. She wouldn't give Vino the satisfaction that he could hurt her. She doesn't care if he wants to be with his first love or not; she is going to work and learn to be independent just as she had always been. “Hey Skylar ” Skylar came out of her thoughts to see Cynthia coming over from her table to drag Skylar down the hall to the cafeteria, which was empty save for the chef at this time of the morning. “What's going on Cyn? Where are you taking me to?” Skylar protested loudly as she pulled Cynthia to a stop and glared at her with her hands clutch
Skylar stepped into the Thompson's mansion, having been ushered in by their maid, Maria. She considered waiting for Paula, who was still in the car with her husband, discussing but Skylar didn't want to feel like she needed to depend on anyone. She could handle Vino herself. She was an independent lady. Skylar strolled into the hall where the Charity Ball was taking place. There were many people here tonight, many of them she had never met. Skylar shrugged as her eyes caught the painting on the wall. They were different drawings of children from different works of life. Skylar gulped as she run her hands through one, captivated by the smile on the little boy whose cloth was torn but still had a smile on his face, his dark-skinned and a dimple on his cheek got through her, she would donate all her savings to make sure that, that little boy smile remains on his face. Skylar could see that Mrs
Vino spent the rest of the evening trying to get Skylar alone with him, but it seems the power of the universe was against him as everything seemed to go against his wishes. Somehow, she seems to get past him freely without him having to talk to her privately.There was a limit to how much he could take, especially seeing her right now dancing with a smile on her face as she gazed into Gian's eyes. He could never believe Gian could do this to him. He had wanted him to use his eloquent words to persuade Skylar to forgive him not trying to make her his...“Are you even listening to me?”Vino came out of his thoughts as soon as he heard that whiny voice. He knew who it belonged to and hated it every minute. He would like to have his woman back, not liste
“Skylar Evans. Are you going to spend all day in bed?”Skylar grunted as she rolled over to the other side, trying to get herself comfortable on the bed as she listened to the distant voice in her dreams, which sounded just like her mom.“Skylar.” The door to her room burst open suddenly, causing Skylar to shoot up in shock as she turned to stare at her mother, rubbing furiously at her eyes, trying to rid the remaining sleep in them.“Jesus, Skylar. Just how many drinks did you have last night?” Mrs Evans replied, already rushing to her daughter's side as she placed her hands on her forehead, trying to gauge her temperature.“Thank goodness. You seem to be alright. Fre
Skylar rose from the bed the next morning, sluggish and scared of going to the office. What if someone noticed her stomach? Will they know that she is pregnant? Oh God, Skylar,I don't think I'm doing this___ Skylar called to her reflection in the mirror as she took in her disheveled hair and big bag under her eyes. Just like always, her insomnia had come knocking at her door and she had spent the night thinking about her predicament.Skylar was about to call the office to tell them that she was sick and wouldn't be able to make it there today when her phone ringing tone filled the silence of the house. She rushed out of the bathroom to go pick it up, especially as she recognized the caller.“Hello, good morning,” Skylar called gently into the phone. She was careful of being aloof lest her worry show in her voice.“Hello, Miss Evans. I will request that you be in the office early today as you need to attend a business meeting with me thi
“ Hey, baby girl! Why? what's wrong with you?” Paula paused as soon as she heard the sadness in her voice. She had called because she wanted to give Skylar the good news, not to meet her still sad.“I'm good” Skylar replied, trying to voice lightness into her voice while she turned to stare at the enormous hospital which stood in front of her eyes.She couldn’t imagine herself going into such a hospital, she could get lost in them. This was another reason Vino and she could never be together, he was born rich but she__ she had to work for her money…“Are you sure you're okay? Hope this isn't about yesterday?” Paula asked Skylar again as she wasn’t convinced. She knew Skylar could be lying to her right
As soon as Skylar stepped into The Thompson’s Art Centre the next morning, she knew all was not well. Being greeted by Cynthia’s hard glare as she gossiped with two young ladies who Skylar recognized as they both work in the legal department.She walked closer to greet Cynthia while plastering a smile on her face” Hi! Cynthia, how are you? Good morning” Skylar said as she rested upon the table while turning to smile at the two ladies who moved away from her like she was some sort of pest with a contagious disease.“ So as I was saying. Can you believe her? Who would ever think she was sleeping with the boss. It's no wonder she got the job. I've wondered how she managed to get the boss to accept her. I mean she didn't even qualify and the boss was so tired that night and sad that he couldn't find a worthy
Skylar sat speechless in the car seat while Gian drove her to God's knows where. She still couldn't wrap her head around when she became Gian's girlfriend. She never accepted to be his girlfriend, Vino was the only one she would ever love.Skylar turned swiftly to steal glances at him while his hands grip the steering wheel in a tight grip with a broad and happy smile on his lips.Noticing her gaze on him, Gian turned immediately to Skylar, it was already too late for Skylar to avert her gaze. Skylar smiled in embarrassment. She couldn't believe he caught her staring at him.“ Like what you see, Babe” Gian asked her, winking at her as he burst into laughter as soon as he saw the embarrassed expression on her face.
