♡ Skylar ♡"Hey, are you okay?" I heard Alfred's voice behind me. I turned around in my squatting position, looking up at him."I'm fine." I rolled my eyes and turned back to my initial position. I glanced at the time on my wristwatch. 5 p.m. Gosh, why did I even agree to come all the way here?I glanced at the men who were busy bringing in the construction materials. I've been watching them do this for more than two hours now, and sure, I was under the scorching sun. My throat is dry as hell, and I'm blaming myself for not bringing even a bottle of water. The only person I can ask is Alfred, because apparently he knows his way around, somehow, but my ego is holding me back. I don't know how much I can hold it."Are you listening to me?" I flinched, seeing Alfred squatting in front of me."What?" I mumbled.He shook his head and stretched out a bottle of water and a bag of chips to me.Stupid me, wasn't I supposed to gladly take it? But no, I shook my head and looked away."If you
Dangerous Heartbeats 19 - Hike
The next day...♡ Alfred ♡"Why are we doing this again?" I asked, shooting a glance at Arielle, who had just gotten out of the car. She smiled and stretched out her arms and legs before walking up to me."Because you, my brother need to loosen up." she smiled widely, popping the p on her last word.She sighed dramatically and crossed her arms."You stay in your office twenty-four seven, aren't you tired?"I looked up at the long trail that didn't seem to end and turned back to her."So you think hiking on a Sunday afternoon is the best way to loosen up?"She chuckled. "Quit complaining now, let's move big brother," Without waiting for me, she started to make her way up the mountain. I sighed, following after her.Sometimes, I wonder who is older. If I had known we were going to go hiking, I would have given more ground excuses."So, I got the job I told you about," Arielle said when I finally caught up with her pace.I turned to look at her with raised brows."Really? Doesn't she kno
Dangerous Heartbeats 20 - Unexpected Guest
The next day...♡ Skylar ♡"Dinner? I have plans, Mom. "I peeled off my jacket, hanging it on the chair. I headed for the coffeemaker, and my phone was still pressed against my ear."Really? Clear it, then""Mom," I drawled. "You know I'm really busy these days, and Aurora is there too,""It's not an excuse dear, Your father and I will be expecting you this evening, 7 pm.""Have a nice day." She didn't let me reply before hanging up. I sighed, tucking my phone in my pocket.Great. When I was just thinking of working overtime. The going and coming to the resort site had taken all my time. I barely even have the time for my own company or myself. I exhaled, grabbed the cup of coffee, and headed back to my table. Just as I settled on the chair, the door opened, and I looked up.I narrowed my eyes as I watched Hannah get comfortable on the chair opposite me."Hey, bestie," I forced a smile and turned my attention to my coffee, blowing air into it."Did I come at the wrong time?"I sh
Dangerous Heartbeats 21- Unexpected guest II
♡ Skylar ♡"Oh Skylar," Mr Jun called, turning his attention to me. My lips curved into my famous fake, sweet smile as I nodded. "It's so nice to finally meet you," I replied softly, my eyes not moving away from his. I noticed how he shifted uncomfortably under my gaze before laughing awkwardly. He took his eyes off me. I smirked, looking down at my plate."So, let's eat?" Dad called with a light chuckle."Yes," Mom added, and the room fell silent. The sound of cutleries hitting against the ceramic plates pierced into the silence once in a while.Soon, Dad broke the awkward silence and started talking with Mr. Jun about something I didn't care to listen to. Every other person in the room was involved in their conversation, but I wasn't because I was too focused on someone. The so-called owner of Jun's Pharmaceuticals. I needed a way to start a conversation and shove words into his mouth. "So Skylar, what do you think of Jake?" "Skylar!"I flinched, the fork almost slipping out of m
Dangerous Heartbeats 22 - Midnight Texts
♡ Skylar ♡I stared at the text until it disappeared from the screen.Why was he suddenly texting me at 1 a.m.? I turned to lie on my side, pulling down the notification bar on my phone. I clicked on his text. My fingers hovered above the keyboard as I thought of what to say. Since our encounter at the mountain, we hadn't talked, and I think I kind of made him angry."Wait. Why am I even thinking of what to say? It's Alfredo Miller. I shouldn't be texting him at all. " I hit the send button. I watched as the three dots indicating he was typing appeared, then disappeared and appeared again. Finally, he sent the text. I rolled my eyes. I snickered, curling my toes under the blanket. He had read the text before I could think of deleting it. Now I sounded like I really did think of all his words
Dangerous Heartbeats 23 - Miller's Group
♡ Alfred ♡"If we can have the Sanders stay at our hotel for the weekend, it might have a good impact on our sales in the hotel."I sighed, tapping my feet on the floor."Is there any information on where they'll be staying?""None, I'm aware of," April replied. "You should know these things! It's your job!" I snapped, turning around to glare at her. She lowered her head, avoiding my gaze."I'm sorry, sir,"I scoffed and turned away from her, my eyes settling on the elevator door."Get any information you can find and get back to me by tomorrow,""Yes, sir."My phone buzzed as I stepped out of the elevator. It was from Xander. I sent the text and clicked on Skylar's name. She hadn't replied to my text.What exactly was she so mad about?Putting my phone into my pants pocket, I headed to my office. I pulled open the door and walked in."Oh, look who's he
Dangerous Heartbeats 24 - Just a little tipsy
♡ Skylar ♡I got out of my car. Gripping my bag tight, I slammed my car's door shut. I turned around, my eyes stopping on the building in front of me. Gold-Kard was peeking out from the rooftops in huge sparkly red letters. I reached for my phone in my bag and dialed Catherine's number immediately. She answered the call on the first ring."Hey babes," she yelled over the loud music. I blocked out my other ear at how loud she was."I'm about to come in, where are you?""Uh by the counter, you'll see me once you get there, okay? It's so loud in here","What did you say?" She yelled.She could have just stood up from where she was.Sighing in irritation, I nodded as though she could see me."Okay, I'm heading in now"I returned the phone to my bag and zipped it up before walking up to the entrance. One hour should be enough to build the foundation for her trust and I'm getting my ass out of this place.The interior was nothing like the outside. Now I understand why she was yelling like

♡ Skylar ♡Beep. Beep. Beep.The incessant, increasingly annoying sound of whatever it was, slowly brought me awake. I turned around in my bed, pulling the blankets with me as I reached out for my phone. The phone continued to ring as I searched for it on the table, still groggy from sleep, My head hurt like hell, my hand suddenly hit something and it came crashing to the floor.The sound had all iota of sleep disappearing from me and I sat up. I stared down at the shattered picture frame of Aurora and sighed.Beep. Beep. Beep.Fucking stupid alarm. I grabbed my phone and turned it off immediately. Brushing my scattered hair back, I pulled away the comforters and got on my feet.The throbbing pain in my head increased and a wince escaped my lips as I soothed my temples with my finger.How the hell did I get home last night? I remember getting wasted and not finding Catherine. Wasn't it suspicious that she disappeared all of a sudden? How did I even get so drunk easily? If the bitch had
