LOGIN“No, no I’m not marrying him again,” Ellyse shook her head. The idea of having to beg him to marry her again made her stomach turn and her skin crawl. She didn’t want to go through that again, she didn’t want to make a fool of herself for the sake of paying off their debts. “Yes, you will,” Eliana spat back with conviction, but she held her head high. “Mom, there are plenty of ways to earn money. You don’t have to resort to stealing, I don’t have to marry him, we can find ways-“ “There is no way! Can’t you see, Ellyse? Your father and I are going to go down along with our company. Do you want that to happen?!” she slammed both of her hands on the table, making her flinch. “And what? At the expense of my own dignity? I already married him to please you-“ “You married him because you love him! So don’t tell
“Kai, did you forget something-“ Ellyse abruptly opened the door, not knowing that the person she was expecting outside wasn’t the person standing in front of her now. It was a stranger that wore a black face mask. Before she could even respond, he suddenly placed a handkerchief over her mouth and nose. Her vision went black and the next thing she knew, she already fell on the floor. Black is all she saw. Meanwhile, Kai drove home peacefully—unaware of what just happened to Ellyse. He was busy replaying about what happened between them both earlier. There has been a few instances where they unknowingly place themselves in awkward situations like that. He didn’t know what to feel, or why he’s even thinking about that in the first place. A heavy sigh escapes his lips as he parked h
“Mom, I’m hungry,” Claire’s voice echoed from the stairway, causing both Ellyse and Kai to step back from being in such close proximity. She blinked multiple times, unable to process what had just happened. Meanwhile Kai looked around like a lone puppy. “Uh…uhm, I’ll handle the cooking. You can go and…take care of Claire,” she gave him a light push on the shoulder. After almost getting caught that close with his ex-wife, Kai didn’t argue anymore and did exactly what she said. He straightened his back before walking to Claire. Ellyse lets out a breath she didn’t even know she was holding. She proceeded to cook their food with the memory of whatever happened earlier looming in her mind. That specific day was so eventful, from her gatecrashing at the company’s meeting, to meeting Agatha, and having reporters swarm them with invasive
It was raining hard when the three of them left the indoor playground. Claire was already quite tired from playing too, but Ellyse decided to go grocery shopping. “Mom, I want to go home already!” Claire sulked while riding the shopping cart Kai was pushing. “Claire, behave,” Kai scolded her but she continued wriggling around the cart. “I just have to buy food so we can have something to eat by next week,” she told her while going through the canned goods aisle. “I can hire you a private chef if you want to,” Kai offered. She paused for a moment before shaking her head. She had already turned down his offer of living together again, a part of her felt guilty for always refusing his help. But the thing is, she didn’t need anything. “That’s excessive,” she chuckled. “I
“Claire told me last night that she wanted to play in an indoor playground at the mall. You should come with us after lunch,” Kai stated while unbuckling his seatbelt. Ellyse didn’t really have anything in her agenda that day so she figured accompanying them didn’t sound like a bad idea, especially after what happened earlier. “Sure,” she answered plainly before leaving the car. They both strutted inside the mansion, as always the maids and helpers greeted them inside before they saw Claire running down the stairs. “Mommy! You’re here!” she beamed happily before welcoming her with a hug. She chuckled, embracing her back. “Oh, how I missed you Claire.” She planted a soft kiss on top of her daughter’s head. “I told Dad last night that we should go to the mall and play! You should come with us!”
Agatha didn’t even see Ellyse, she immediately went to Kai with urgency as if she was that desperate to see him.“Kai! I heard about the news, how are you? Are you okay? I’ve been trying to reach out to you but you haven’t been responding,” Ellyse stepped out of the way so she could come to him. She held his face with misty eyes while Ellyse watches, Kai remained idle. His brows were furrowed into a line, he didn’t seem pleased to see her.“Agatha what are you-““Please, talk to me. You can talk to me, right? We can still fix this, I’ll make it up to you, I promise!” she was deliriously trying to convince him to come back to her in front of his ex-wife as if she didn’t even exist. What Ellyse saw that day was so different from the Agatha she knew. She looked desperate and hurt, it was almost like she could see herself through her.Years ago, she was in the same situation; begging and pining for a love that never even exist
“Kai…” Ellyse was left in trance after Kai kissed her. She looked at him with shock written all over her face. Meanwhile, he stared at her drunkenly. The colored lights inside the bar illuminating his face. They stared at eachoth
Ellyse felt weird when she didn’t have to wake up early in the morning to prepare for the shoot. Now that it’s finished, she finally agreed on speaking with Riden’s engineer. They spoke on the technicalities of the floor plan and the design itself. Because en
Ellyse needed to talk to Kai immediately after that interview. She wanted to let him know, she didn’t want his relationship with Agatha to break just because of that interview. She knew what was right and even though her heart strongly opposed to it, she still did it any
Ellyse hated Agatha, but most importantly, she hated how she also wronged her in a sense. Tears were brimming in her eyes, she couldn’t believe it! How can Agatha say things like that to her? Is she really that obsessed with her
