Verania's Point of ViewAs soon as I entered the door of our home, I was greeted by Mama. She was sitting on the sofa, wearing glasses, and her eyes were fixed on the book she held.However, when she sensed my presence, she voluntarily closed her book and slowly shifted her gaze toward me, while removing her glasses.A restrained smile appeared on my lips, then I looked away. I was about to head straight to my room, but Mama quickly tracked me with her steps and stopped me from proceeding."What happened to your eyes? They're so swollen. Don't you dare tell me it's just something in your eye, even your eyebags are puffy," Mama said directly.It's really hard having a mom who's an attorney; you can never lie to her.My mom knows when I am lying, she doesn't say I'm lying but she becomes very inquisitive whenever she feels I am. So, in the end, I still end up telling the truth."Before you answer, let's sit on the sofa," she said calmly and walked back to where she was sitting earlier.

Verania’s Point of View"We'll sit at the other table on the terrace," Ma'am Charlotte said softly as she approached me, prompting me to follow her as if I were not a remote-controlled robot.As I sat down, I closed my eyes tightly, positioning myself where I could clearly see how Bernice's arm wrapped around Ares.Why did I plan this? I could've moved it, couldn't I? Why did I choose this day? It's annoying; I'm not satisfied with what's happening around me, I feel suffocated even though there's no reason to."How was your suspension?" I almost jumped when I heard Ma'am Charlotte's gentle voice.I didn't expect her to start with that topic. Actually, I was waiting for her to get mad and blame me because Ares almost got into trouble again."It's fine, but somewhat sad," I replied.She nodded slowly and looked down."I was actually mad at you yesterday, but when I heard Victorino's explanation, your captain, I was able to forgive you," I blinked at her words.What did Captain say to Ma

Verania’s Point of ViewThe days passed, and I remained in Ares's house.I woke up early again and decided to prepare breakfast for Ares. Of course, I chose simple dishes to fry, as I'm not an expert in the kitchen.I only cooked for him because, like before, Aunt Charlotte and Uncle Stan left for work early. Olivia, on the other hand, often woke up late, especially since she came home late last night.It was only seven in the morning, so I focused on preparing breakfast for Ares.After setting everything I cooked on the dining table, I waited for Ares.I quietly sat down while sipping my coffee. I planned to talk to him today; we needed to reconcile because it felt like we were both acting foolishly, unable to even look at each other."Good Morning!" I greeted cheerfully when I saw Ares walking towards the table.But as I expected, he didn't acknowledge me. He simply sat across from me where his food was placed.H

Verania’s Point of View"But, you're the one who will decide your fate, whether you end up with nothing or you get what you want. That's just how it is, nothing will be lost if you speak up. Sometimes you really need to take a risk because, in time, you might end up with regrets. Because sometimes we think we don't deserve it but it's actually meant for us, remove that self-doubt. And also, it's just between taking the risk or losing the chance. At least you've told them," she said in a new litany, causing me to bite my lip in agreement."And besides, we're sometimes given a choice, it's just that life is sometimes unfair, but that's how it is, the world is unfair, so why not risk for your own happiness, right? Even if it doesn't end well, at least you'll be happy. But still, if being with you puts their life in danger..." she paused and looked elsewhere.I followed her gaze and noticed Ares approaching from the path where Alder and I were standing."If it really puts their life in da

Verania's Point of ViewI couldn't tear my eyes away from Olivia's sharp gaze directed at me. She must have seen us in a position she didn't approve of, hence her intense stare."What's up, Liv?" Ares immediately asked as he approached Olivia.She broke our eye contact and turned towards Ares, who was now close to her."Mommy called," Olivia glanced at her phone and showed Ares the call history.Wow, she even has proof."And she told me that we are not staying here tonight and perhaps tomorrow too," she added, pocketing her phone and crossing her arms over her chest.

Verania’s Point of View"I have fallen in love with someone who loves me too. I want to tell him how I love him, I want to let him know but I can't. Because if I confess my feelings to him, he might be put in danger. My life is full of danger, and I don't want to drag him into it. So I am thinking, should I just wait for the right time to reveal everything itself or should I be risky?"I swallowed hard after saying that to her. She fell silent, seemingly pondering her response, so I waited patiently for her answer."I am too young and I do not know if my answer would be able to help you," she said, taking a deep breath."I don't mind, I just want to hear your side."

Verania's Point of ViewIt felt like my steps doubled in speed when Ma'am Charlotte ordered me to follow Ares and see where he went.After all, he shouldn’t be wandering off alone, even if it’s just within the compound.I caught sight of him entering the mansion of Mr. Thaddeus Montero, their grandfather, so I did the same and followed him inside.He walked straight ahead until he entered a room. I approached slowly and as soon as I saw the entirety of the room, I was immediately amazed.The room was a library, and I felt like I was transported to the 18th century because of the decor. I'm not usually into books, but the place was delightful to behold.But before I could get completely lost in roaming around with my eyes, I refocused on searching for Ares.With each step, my eyes darted around to find him, and my vision brightened when I spotted him at a desk by the window.He looked like an actor, lost in thought by the window. He was staring outside, resting his chin on his hand.So
Just A Job (English) PROLOGUE
The road is quiet, perhaps the night is getting deeper. A motorcycle parked in front of a convenience store, and from the motorcycle emerged a girl named Verania Portier. As she took off her helmet, her beautiful face appeared, with her hair flowing after being freed from the helmet.But if you sense this girl, you'll know she's not just an ordinary girl. Even just by her attire, you can tell. She's wearing military boots and black pants, with a gray racerback top covered by a leather jacket. Her posture exudes a certain toughness.After arranging her motorbike, she went straight into the convenience store and grabbed a gallon of ice cream from the freezer, taking it to the counter. After paying, she hurriedly left the store and gasped when her phone in her pocket rang. It was her friend calling.The caller was Ares Montero, the son of the current Mayor who was running for Governor of their province. "Oh, you called? It's late," the girl said gently, but weariness could be heard in he
