Vincaster received a report about the attempted kidnapping case of an LV grade 12 student, so he had no choice but to go there.
“How are the things in the academy, Mr. Atun?”
“It’s settled, sire. You don’t need to come here. Fortunately, two of our faculty saved the girl and the parents promised to protect the image of the school. Also, the police promised to keep the incident confidential as it might affect the school’s image.”
“Those two needs recognition, so what’s their name?”
“Mr. Marivelles and Ms. Alpheus of Humanities."
"Ms. Alpheus..."
"Yes, sir. Ms. Serina Alpheus, she's been our faculty for three years."
"Alright, I shall talk to her— I mean them."
Instead of waiting at their usual place, Vincaster parked his car inside the school parki
"Finally, I'm at home... I mean in your pad. This isn't my home after all.""Exactly, because your home is here," says Vincaster while pointing at his left chest."Ewww~" she replied, wearing a disappointed look.Vincaster laughed at Serina's reaction. "Tell me, you panicked when I looked back, and you thought I would call you, right?""Who wouldn't panic? Have you ever thought of what my student assumed if she saw us together?""It's not a bad thing. We can bribe that girl to shut her mouth," he replied while placing the picture frames they brought."You think money can solve everyth
"Don't tell me you have no plans of having children at all? Vincaster, this is not about your choice of being childless because whether you like it or not, you have to secure a future heir.""Can we not talk about heir or whatsoever? My wife is kind of sensitive with that topic, and I don't want to pressure her yet."Serina understood that it was the consequence of being an only child of a wealthy family. She has seen it in drama, and now she is convinced that drama is usually reality-based.After that conversation, everyone shut their mouth, and no one dared to break the silence until they finished their dinner."Hija, would you mind escorting me to the garden?"
"What if it's you who crosses the line? What should I do to you?" He smirked while staring at Serina's eyes. Seeing Serina avoid his gaze made him more interested in teasing her."That won't happen," she replied as she rolled over on the end of the bed, facing the wall."If you say so, but I'm just reminding you that if you happen to cross the line, I won't stay still... talk about fairness, wifey. If you were to punish me once I cross the line, then I should have my condition as well.""Yeah, whatever."Serina closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep, but she failed. Her mind is wandering if the guy on the other half of the bed had fallen asleep. She slowly turned around and found Vincaster with his e
Serina was having a little chit-chat with Psyche through the phone while taking the path to the faculty office."I have no classes to teach today. What time are you free, so I could drop by and treat you to a coffee shop," says Psyche."I have classes from ten in the morning until two in the afternoon. Then my break time would start from two in the afternoon until six in the evening. You can meet me from two in the afternoon onwards.""Alright, see you later."Serina slid her phone into her pocket and was about to enter the faculty room but hearing a conversation from her co-faculty made her stand frozen outside the room. Serina gulped and felt uncomfortable hearing people talk about her husband.
Serina stretched her hands and legs, then she rolled over the bed. "I forgot the feeling of how nice it was living alone in a big house like this. What did I do in the past during his business venture? I have two months before that jerk comes back here," she said, but her triumphant feeling had faded as the memory from her past haunted her."The wedding ceremony will commence one day after his venture is over... then the next month will be the beginning of my downfall," she murmured while biting the blanket."I should be more careful not to fall for him in the succeeding months. I died because my one-sided love blinded me back then, I lost my reasoning, and my head was clouded with jealousy and the feeling of broken-heartedness. All I have to do is not fall in love with him. Although, there have been a few alterations f
"What a bright day to start knowing that I have another month to wake up without seeing that bastard's face," she uttered while waiting to arrive at LV academy.It has been a month since Vincaster went out of town. She was confident that Vincaster would be back next month since nothing changed in the present, aside from that on the day she altered. What happened in the past during her husband's absence repeated in the present, so she concluded that Vincaster would not be back these days; Because in the past, it took two months before he came back.Serina was grateful that no disaster or humiliating event had happened when she brought her in-law to her family. At first, she was afraid of the consequence since she knew her family had not approved of Vincaster yet, because if they approved of him, they could have asked her
'He's supposed to be coming home next month!' her mind was roaring loud, but she needed to control her mouth before thoughts slipped out."I cut the introduction. You guys know who these guys are. I am friends with Daniel," Psyche interrupted, but Serina's mind was wandering off.'So what will happen in the future?'Serina thought since she traveled back in time, she would have a better picture of the entire happenings for the whole year, but the thing is, her mind is quite confused now because the timeline had messed up.When is the better day to divorce him then? What if she died earlier than she had foreseen? Those are just a few of her concerns.'
Serina silently went back to her seat. Then, Vincaster followed only to excuse himself."I have to go now. It's nice having lunch with you. Keep being dedicated to your profession," says Vincaster as he lightly taps the top of the table."Sir, what happened to your hand?" Psyche asked."Don't mind it. A wild dog bit me outside.""Dog? But it looks human-made," says Gregory."Stop asking our employer. You are hindering him. Just let him leave since he is the busy type of person and a mere employee like us is way out of his league, so stop talking to him casually."Vincaster glared at Serina with his
