No one has ever thought that the mysterious boss of the famous Dela Cruz groups would work and serve as a nurse in a hospital; this was because most people believed that she's dead and long gone.
But now, she was busy as a detective who had to disguise as a private nurse to gather enough evidence to her parents death and was later turn into a full housewife whose opinion doesn't matter nor did it ever count. Lisa had privately pleaded with the doctor in charge of Alex to assign her as his personal nurse without making mention of her. At first, it wasn't a hard task to get along with him as he was super friendly but as soon as his mother noticed their new developed relationship, she attacked Lisa with getting married to her son. But even though Lisa had agreed to the marriage, she never thought it would turn out like this. She had thought that she could change Alex's mind, that she could make him see how much she cared for him. But it was all in vain. She had been deluding herself, thinking that she could make him love her, when he was already in love with someone else. But now, things had took a drastic change and she'll no longer be the vulnerable lady who anyone can trample on like she worth nothing! It's time to let go of whatever feelings she might be having for Alex and take the bull by the horn instead. Those moment when Alex was newly a victim of the accident, he was in a very critical condition that needed more attention both physically, emotionally and mentally but Rosy did never appear nor pay him a visit. Instead, she would only send him numerous messages at nights. Perhaps, this might be the reason Mrs. Williams despises Rosy more and asked Lisa to marry her son before Rosy gets the chance to persuade Alex since he's head over heels with Rosy. Times without numbers, Alex's mother had called Rosy on the phone and cussed at her, calling her all sorts of name and laid accusations on her as well. “You are no different from those dirty sluts on the streets who get hooked up with men just to mooch them off their hard earn fortune and fame...” Mrs. Williams accused. “The earlier you stay away from my son, the better for you, woman!” Despite everything, Rosy wasn't moved by Mrs. Williams threats, she strongly believe Alex can't do without her —that thought was enough to fuel her confidence more. Until the day she received yet another call from Mrs. Williams. “You claimed to love Alex but here he is lying on his sickbed with another woman taking care of him...” She told her. Rosy scoffs at Mrs. Williams' words. “There is nothing wrong in having another wiman assisting me in taking care of my Alex. No matter how much she try, she can't take my Alex from me...” She remarked, overwhelmed with self confidence. Mrs. Williams snickered at Rosy's confidence. “Too bad for you, Rosy, they've both gotten married a few days ago —and now you are at loss! There is noth...” Rosy did not give Mrs. Williams the chance to complete her statement before cutting the cut abruptly. Rosy can tolerate any thing but not Alex being snatched away from her grip —she can't stand anything like it and now he's married to some random lady, eh? This got Rosy mad and she made sure she did everything she can to separate them. Even after many months, she did achieve her aim at end! . *** . Alex got home the next morning after spending his usual daily nights with his ex girlfriend, Rosy. Ever since he reconnected back with Rosy, it has become a daily routine for him to spend every nights with her and he could only be seen at home the next morning because he needs to get ready for another day. He would come home, freshen up and dress for work and after work, he would go to Rosy instead. For all those time, Lisa had been living alone and busily married to herself instead of her husband, Alex. Alex noticed Lisa was missing but he shrugged the thoughts off, after all, she's not his burden for him to worry about neither is she a kid. "Maybe she's busy with the house chores as usual, why worry?" He concluded within himself and headed up to his room to prepare for the day. Alex had taken his bath and dried his body, including his hair. He had finished dressing and was ready to go to work, applying his perfume, his eyes caught glimpse of the neatly arranged papers on his dressing table. He paused for a second and dropped his perfume. "What's this..?" He muttered under his breath as he picked the papers up, his eyes widening in realization. "The divorce papers? Did she sign them already?" He couldn't help but feed his curiosity as he quickly flipped through the papers he had prepared for long. Indeed, Lisa had finally sign the papers after many months of waiting, he's finally free from the stupid marriage he managed to find himself in. At that moment, Alex felt as though a burden had been lifted up his shoulder and he couldn't his happiness. "Finally..." He breathed out in relief, grinning from ear to ear. "I never knew that greedy weak nurse would give up her motive so easily and leave just when I least expected. Seems like Rosy is the perfect match for her, she couldn't even stand Rosy's attack!" Alex couldn't stop himself from laughing out loud. For a moment, he forgot everything else and try to savour in the feeling of his freedom. "Who would gave thought she would leave so soon, eh?" He asked himself, releasing yet another satisfying laughter. "Maybe..." He thought out loud. "She had given up so soon when she realized she won't be getting a penny from my wealth even though we are married. Ow, such a poor lady! I feel for her already." Mockery was evident, even in his thoughts.As she sat, deep in thought, a sudden buzz broke her concentration. A notification appeared on her phone, with a message from her former fiancé, David."Why is he sending me a message out of the blue?" She muttered within herself as she unlocked her phone to read the message, feeling a mixture of anxiety and curiosity. She read the message, and her breath caught in her throat.Sarah stared at the message sent to her, her curiosity suddenly turned into a mixture of anger and sadness. It reads, 'I can't believe you are such a gold digger, Sarah! This was your plan all along? To ditch me, leave me in disgrace at the altar, and go after the president because he's loaded, isn't he?'Sarah gritted her teeth in fury as she read the message further. 'You are such a cheap slut, but I promise you, Sarah, that I won't go down without a fight! Be on your best guard because tonight, I'm giving you the biggest surprise of your life...!'David's words cut through her like a knife, the fact that he go
Sarah, a name now acknowledged and recognized in the journal of the nation's political context, stood as the center of an exceptional sight, surrounded by glaring lights, loud and noisy voices, and examining eyes from the press, reflecting a model of the public.Amidst the lights and noisy surroundings, the press that managed to get close to her probed her with questions, their eyes gleaming with excitement. She was their new prey - the fact that she was the first Lady made things more interesting for them.For the first time since her marriage with the president, she had only stepped out for a moment to look around and probably get used to her new environment but things did not turn out as she thought would be.As though the press was keeping a close watch on her and monitoring her movement - maybe someone had tipped them off her whereabouts, they hovered around her like flies, trapping her down in the same spot.Microphones and other instruments used by the press were pointed in her
As Sarah stood at the altar to exchange marital vows with the president, she felt a sense of calm wash over her. It was as if time had slowed down, and everything around her was moving in slow motion.The guests, the priest, the groom - they all seemed to be moving at a fraction of the speed she was used to. Everything felt surreal as if she was in a dream. But she knew this was real. This was her wedding day - another wedding she was holding in that same week she ditched the first one.The priest's words drifted through the air as if they were carried by the wind. "Do you, Sarah, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do you part?"As the words of the vow hung in the air, Sarah felt her heart skip a beat. It was like everything had stopped, and it was just her and the president in the world. She looked into his eyes, a
Sarah had never seen him before which made her curiosity piqued, her gaze on the parcel he stretched out to her. Though she was tempted to take the parcel from him, she still hesitated as though she was contemplating taking the parcel from him.His unusual warm smile spread wider, urging her to take it from him. Seeing how much she was hesitating, he squatted down to her height, opened her palms, and placed the parcel on them."For you..." He uttered, still wearing his unusual warm smile. His voice was calm but far from the regular manly voice Sarah had heard."What's in the parcel?" She asked, directing her gaze from the man to the parcel in her palms before raising her gaze to meet the man's. "-and why are you giving it to me?""I can read the curiosity in your eyes, lady." He responded quietly, maintaining his calm tone. "Why don't you feed your curiosity by checking it out yourself?"Sarah said nothing in reply and did as the man had suggested. She opened the parcel and couldn't be
Alone on the serene and deserted beach, Sarah sat on the sandy shore, the waves crashing against the beach as if echoing her inner turmoil. The sunset on the horizon in its warm hue of orange failed to bring comfort to the despair that hung over her like a chute.Her eyes were red and swollen, heavy with the weight of sorrow and betrayal. Tears painted her face, the hurt as vast as the sea itself and heavy as a lead. Yet underneath the sorrow was an underlying sense of trepidation - a thought that wasn't born out of hope but out of fear of continuing to live.Sarah ought to be grateful that she found out about them before the knot was tied between herself and David - how worse would it be if things started to unfold after her wedding?Sarah stood up abruptly and walked closer to the beach, shutting other thoughts off her head and mind. She stared intensely into the raging waves of the waster as thoughts of suicide attempts swirled in her mind, tempting her to end the painful game she f

It was a partially sunny day, and the sky was clear as well. The air was crisp and cool, and the birds were singing happily in the trees.The streets were quiet, and there was a peaceful stillness in the air. It was the perfect morning for a walk in the park, or for sitting under a gazebo with a cup of coffee. The world seemed to be at peace, and everything was just as it should be. It was a morning to be
