Crazy Inlove To My Godfather (English Version)

ELAINE POV“You need help?” Ninong Ryke’s voice brought me back to reality. I noticed the way his fingers brushed at his necktie, a small, almost casual gesture, yet it drew my attention. I shook my head with a small smile and continued walking down the stairs, my heart still fluttering from our earlier interaction.My eyes caught Veronica. She was walking quickly toward Ninong Ryke, her hand brushing lightly against his arm as she steadied herself beside him. I had planned to leave them and look for Mom and Dad, but something made me pause mid-step.“What time will we go home?” I heard Veronica ask, and I turned around slightly, curious.“You’re going home already?” I asked, a hint of surprise in my voice. Veronica glanced at me, her expression calm but slightly wary.“No, not yet,” Ninong answered, and for some reason, a warmth spread through me in his reply. Yet, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Veronica frowning ever so slightly. I chose to ignore it.“Come on, Ryke. Ellen

ELAINE POVI couldn’t move. My body felt frozen, and I could smell his cologne that made my chest tighten. I stared straight into his eyes, and he stared right back at me. Every instinct screamed to lean closer, to feel him closer but my mind was spinning.I felt his lips shift slightly against mine, and I was about to respond when my eyes widened in shock.“Ryke, here’s the blanket.”I jolted. In a panic, I shoved Ninong back. He stumbled and ended up sitting on the floor with a muffled grunt. My heart pounded, my chest full of adrenaline and embarrassment, but I stepped forward, worried about what I’d done.“What are you doing, Ninong? Are you drunk?” Mom’s voice rang out, calm but sharp, as the door swung open. His head turned toward her, confusion flickering across his face. My stomach twisted. I could feel my cheeks heating as my mind scrambled for an explanation.“Elaine, why are you here?” Mom asked, eyebrows raised, a hint of worry in her eyes.“Uh, um, Ninong left his phone

ELAINE I lowered my gaze, unable to hold his eyes any longer. The weight of everything I felt pressed heavily against my chest, making it hard to breathe. But then a faint sound broke the silence, it came from the door.My head lifted almost immediately. We both turned toward it.Ryke stepped away from me without a word and walked toward the door, his expression unreadable. He tapped something on the small monitor mounted beside it, and the screen flickered to life. From where I stood, I could see a woman outside.My brows slowly furrowed.Who is that woman?Before I could even process it, Ryke opened the door. I stayed where I was, my body tense, waiting for her to step inside but instead, she closed the distance between them in a second and pressed her lips against his.My breath caught and everything seemed to stop.I turned away sharply, my chest tightening as if something inside me had been squeezed too hard. My fingers curled around the coat I was wearing, gripping the fabric s

ANNEThe song ended, and I returned to the dressing room, fixing my things before heading home. As I stood in front of the mirror, brushing my hair, my thoughts suddenly drifted back to him.Ryke.I repeated his name silently, remembering his strikingly handsome face. No matter how much I tried to focus on something else, I couldn’t stop thinking about him.What is he to Elaine? Why did the way he acted earlier feel different?I let out a small breath, shaking the thoughts away. I picked up my small bag and stepped outside. Just then, I saw Sir Leo about to get into his car.“Bye, sir,” I called out with a polite smile.“Oh, it’s you,” he said, noticing me. “Come with me. Where are you headed?”“Huh? Sir, no, it’s okay,” I replied, still smiling.“Come on, don’t be shy.”For a moment, I hesitated. Then an idea crossed my mind and I agreed.A few minutes later, I was already inside his car. The quiet between us lingered for a while.“Elaine is your cousin?” he asked.I turned to him an

ANNE I sat inside the taxi, feeling both nervous and excited. I was on my way to the company where Ryke works. My heart still felt light from the call last night, Sir Leo had personally told me to come for an interview.When the taxi stopped, I stepped out and looked up at the tall building in front of me. It felt intimidating but also exciting.I walked inside and approached the information desk. I told them I had an interview. They asked for my name, gave me an ID, and handed me a pass card before directing me to the tenth floor.Inside the elevator, even with other people around, I couldn’t calm my nerves. My hands felt slightly cold, and my heart wouldn’t stop beating fast.When I arrived, I asked for Mr. Ferrero’s office and found it quickly. I stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and raised my hand to knock but before I could, the door suddenly opened.A man stepped out. For a second, I thought it was Ryke.I quickly lowered my head politely.“There’s a beautiful lad
