WHAT HAPPENED…
I went out of the room where Rum hid me to end everything. I am about to shoot Rum because I know that he wants to hide me away from Duke. I know he wants to kill Duke so that Duke won’t rescue me and I will be his completely. I recall what he did to my friends too and to Pearl, Mark, Cherry, and Rob. I really want to kill him. That is why I pointed his gun at him but when I saw him close his eyes rather than beg or fight for his life. He looks like he already accepted his fate because he knew I was going to kill him but the moment I saw him raise his hands and close his eyes. I feel pity and my heart hurts seeing him giving his fate in my hand.
I suddenly recall what happened and who is the root cause of everything. The pain of being cheated, the feeling of being crushed and broken by the man you tr
I never expected that Lady would choose me because of that time when he pointed the gun at me. I accepted my death in her hands. I know she will shoot me because I know how much he loves Duke but I was surprised when he shot Duke not just once but twice. I watched Duke fall to the ground beside me. I stood up and ran to her when I saw her fall to the ground while trying to stop her tears. I know she is very tired but that is okay. I hugged her to make her feel that everything is fine now. I remember she looked at me and the moment I held her hand and helped her stand I told myself that SHE IS MY QUEEN because I never forget the look into her eyes when she saw me raise my hands to her and close my eyes. She feels pity. Oh, wait! not pity but love. I know she feels love for me and that is not manipulation anymore. I believe that we are destined to each other and it’s sad but I think God only uses Candy and Duke for us to meet. That is why I asked
I am alone changing my clothes inside my room because I am dirty and sweating, cleaning the house. I want the whole house to be clean. I want the food to be ready before Duke arrives from work because I know he is tired. Duke is always travelling delivering things that their clients ask. He is working in a logistic company while I am working from home. I am doing my online cosmetics and clothes business, and at the same time, I am teaching English lessons to Korean students. Duke and I are already engaged, and we are living together in the house that my parents gave me because they moved now to Canada. They left their car under my name, too, and we are so lucky to start a new life together without starting from scratch. Duke is working hard to save money. Same as me because we are planning to put up a resto- bar business in the future. So that he doesn’t need to go to work every day and we have our own time. No boss, no reports and most of all, we
I know I love Lady, but I can’t help myself not to see Candy. Candy is a sweet girl, caring, pretty, and she is younger than Lady and me. She is Lady’s opposite. If Lady loves reading. Candy loves watching movies with me. If Lady wants to take photos of events. Candy wants to record and take photos of our moments together because she wants to treasure every moment we are together. I am happy with Lady, but I am also happy with Candy. Lady didn’t know about Candy, and Candy didn’t know about Lady. I know Lady will get mad if she finds out about Candy, and same with Candy. I don’t want to lose Lady, and I also don’t want to lose Candy. I am standing between them. Right now, I lied to Lady just to see Candy. I know that she is alone waiting for me at home but she will not know about this. She doesn't need to know about Candy and Candy doesn’t need to know about Lady too. Right now I will go to Candy because she i
I woke up without Duke beside me. He is still not home. It is already seven ‘o'clock in the morning and I am late for my appointment. I drink my coffee and take a bath. Mark is already messaging me asking me where I am now. He is already waiting for me at the cafe that we set to meet.. I call Duke but he is not answering his phone. I message him but he is not also replying. I hope he is okay. Even though I am in a hurry I still manage to take a pen and paper to leave a note for Duke.“Hi, love,I know that you are already tired and I am not home to make you coffee. That is why I made you coffee in advance. Just microwave it if it is already cold when you arrive. I went to the cafe at the Molino to meet up with the buyer and to send a package to LBC. I love you so much an
It’s twelve midnight when Duke leaves for work again and I am alone by myself again. After we fight because of his nonsense jealousy. He left the house without talking to me and I feel like I want to go to his office to observe and investigate if he is really going to work on those days and on those times. I can search the address on the internet anyway but I know he will be mad if I went to his office and asked about his schedule of work. I know I will make him embarrassed and He will not like it. It will start a fight again. He will tell me that I don’t trust him. So even if I want to, I stop myself for the sake of “us” not to fight.I am home alone again but it is okay because I have a lot of things to do. After I deliver the orders. I have a schedule of teaching in the afternoon. That is why I never get bored even when I am always home alone. I just miss Duke
I don’t know why I can’t get Lady out of my head. I feel like I am mesmerized by her smile, by her face, and by the way, she talks, the simplicity that shows her real beauty captures my attention and I can’t forget the beauty of her face no matter what I do. It makes me want to see her and I really want to see her now because I can’t concentrate on my work. I am facing my monitor and physically present at work but my mind is with her and I don’t know why. I put my phone inside my pocket and brought it inside the production floor to check for her reply to my message. I am checking my phone from time to time and she is not accepting my friend request, she is not replying to my messages either and she is not answering my call that bothers me. That makes me think about her more and I don’t know what to do because I can’t get her out of my head. I can’t concentrate on my work and I feel like I am floating with the vision of her inside my head. I feel like I want to shout, I feel like I w
I feel my phone vibrating beside me that is why I slowly pick it up. I am sleeping and I am still sleepy when I try to open my eyes just to check who is calling me. I suddenly woke up when I saw a man standing at the door looking at me. My visions are still blurry that is why I haven’t seen his face clearly. I stand up to check who the man is and how he got inside but he has suddenly gone. He was gone in an instant. I checked my phone and I saw ten missed calls from Mark and none from Duke and eleven messages from Mark and none from Duke. I ignore Mark’s messages and calls because I feel like I will cheat on Duke if I will entertain Mark. I took a deep breath because I am expecting a call or a message from Duke but he is not calling or even messaging me. I checked the time and it is already ten o’clock p.m. and Duke is not yet home. I tried to call him but he is not answering my call. I put
What happened to Lady makes me realize my craziness. I didn’t know that she was pregnant, a good thing that nothing’s happened to our child. I am stupid not to know about it because I am so busy and focused on Candy. Now Lady is pregnant and I will not forgive myself if something happens to her and to our baby. I need to fix things up. I need to break up with Candy and focus on Lady. I need to clean my mess. I will fix everything with Lady. I don’t want to leave her alone for one month but I have to, because I have work to do and this time it is pure work and after one month I will go home and take good care of Lady. I asked my younger cousin to look over Lady while she is studying nursing. I picked her up in their house in General Trias and I promised Lady that I will resign and quit my job after this one-month project. I will focus on her and take good care of her, now that she’s pregnant. We will put a business together so that I don’t need to go o
