ANDRIUS has been holding her hand for a while now. Coaxing her since he knew that she was just pretending. What she did earlier was horrible, and she regretted it.Seeing Andrius who’s doing his best to take care of her and stay by her side after the accident—she felt guilty.Her father told her not to treat Andrius that way because she didn’t see his effort just to be with her and kept on hoping and praying for her fast recovery, which was granted by the Almighty since she survive miraculously.The doctor said that she might suffer amnesia when she wakes up and she must also be thankful that she landed well and just have bruises on her left arm due to the impact.But she suffered a concussion and the doctor said they must observe her for days to months if any side effects or other symptoms will occur.Her head also has a short open wound but it’s not that fatal and she already survived it. But her left arm receives heaviness and got a swollen arm.According to the doctor, she still n
“ARE YOU sure Andrius will love that?” Helen asked Samantha as the latter put the Pinakbet (veggies that were cooked with fish sauce) in the bowl.Samantha smiled. “Of course. Why wouldn’t he?”Helen rolled her eyes. “Hello… Andrius grew up here and Pinakbet is Filipino food.”“Andrius will not have to love it… like is different to love. And I’m sure he will like it. If not, then I will not talk to him—”“Stop being childish, Sam. Ever since you got a boyfriend you became like that. Where’s the independent and strong woman that I used to know for years?”Samantha handed over the pot to the maid beside her. “Okay. Sorry.” She sighed. “I don’t know but I love how Andrius took care of me and coax me every time I became stubborn. Maybe just because we have never been in a coaxing period. You know… when we saw each other again, we just became officially on.”“That’s not the reason some. You must act according to your age. Be mature enough. Andrius will definitely be tired the whole day bec
WHEN SAMANTHA woke up the next day, Helen was already gone. Which seems weird. Because Helen usually informs her whenever she’s leaving. And the weird thing was—he got the news from her father. Andrius also leave home too early since he got an important shoot from Mr. Monde’s company.“Dad.”Her father who was reading a newspaper peeked to the side. “Yes, honey?”“Mr. Monde is your friend, right? The one who asked for Andrius’s service.”Her father folded the newspaper and placed it on the side table beside the sofa. “Yes, why?”“For how long?” she asked, and she bites on a stick of her strawberry Pocky.The old man furrowed his forehead.“I was talking about your friendship.”“Oh. Well, I met him at a convention in Germany about two years ago. But we first met during an auction—I mean when I attended an event three years ago.”Samantha creased her forehead and bit again on Pocky’s stick. “You mention an auction. What’s that for?”Mr. Johansson sat straight and hemmed as he cleared hi
ANDRIUS WAS indeed right in his instinct that he will not like the model that Mr. Monde mentioned yesterday.How could be the world so small as he was seeing Maddy in front of him, who was smiling flirtatiously at him? But he just remained emotionless.“Andrius, this is my goddaughter, Maddison. She’s the one I’m talking to. She will be joining the rest for the photo shoot.”Maddison was about to give him a friendly kiss when he stepped away. Thus, Maddy almost bumped into the mirror.“Uncle, I knew him. He's a family friend. Dad and his father were best friends during their college days. And we used to be childhood friends.”“Oh. I didn’t know that,” said Mr. Monde who acted astonished and Andrius knew that it was just an act.Andrius could easily notice if the person is just faking his actions or not. he can also sense if that person has another hidden motive.“She will just wear a ring, watches, bracelets, and necklaces, right?” he said.Mr. Monde nodded, “yes. And I hope you could
WHEN THEY climb upstairs, she requested that she’ll be sleeping inside his room which Andrius kinda love and hugged her in rejoicing.She just told him to take a shower first in her room and will get back once she was done. She’s humming as she opens the shower and lets the water fall from it. She didn’t stay longer in the bathroom and went out to get dressed. She just wore a simple nightdress before deciding to go to Andrius's room.When she entered Andrius's room, she can’t see him but she’s hearing drips of water in the bathroom. Seems like he’s not yet done bathing. She then walked towards the balcony. She hugged herself when the cold breeze touches her skin. She looked down at the street and saw how the lights beamed the whole place.As she looked farther, she saw how enchanting those city lights were. Lights from tall buildings make the whole place like art. Trees swayed, and dried branches creaked when the wind blows. Her father's mansion is in an exclusive division near the ci
“I USED to be an undercover agent under the CIA,” Mr. Johansson started as he got out of the car. Yesterday, Mr. Johansson informed him to woke up early because the old man needs to show something.As much as Andrius wanted to wake up Samantha, he just can’t when he saw how she was in deep sleep… snoring softly, which makes the woman adorable.They went inside the Silver Dust hotel and he walked next to Mr. Johansson.“Five years ago, I retired. And decided to build my secret agency.”Andrius won’t seem shocked since the old man already told him about it at the hospital. It was supposed to be a secret between Mr. Johansson and his agent at that time, but it happens that he eavesdropped as he heard Samantha’s name.Mr. Johansson investigated after he got the report from the police. As the old man has a bad presentiment about it. And a person won’t be paranoid not unless he’s expecting someone to sabotage or collect debts from him.As he learned the truth about Samantha’s father, he the
SAMANTHA ALMOST threw her phone when she can’t contact Andrius. Damn! she repeatedly cursed under her breath as she walks back and forth, biting the top of her thumb frustratingly.Why didn’t the man wake her up? And he didn’t even mention that he’ll be out early. She asked the maid where he could be, and she just felt at ease when the maid told her that he was with her dad.After lunch, she decided to visit the hotel, since she knew that it was where his dad’s office was. And maybe the two went there. She’s getting pissed because she can’t contact her dad too that’s why she just decided to pay a visit.But when she got there, Marcy informed her that the boys already left about an hour ago.How unfortunate she could be. She then bid goodbye to Marcy and called Helen on her way down to the first floor.Helen then invited her to watch her perform. Since Samantha already missed the Peregrine Club, she then agreed.The show will start at three and it’s just a quarter to two in the afterno
SAMANTHA HAS ALREADY done everything she wanted to do the whole day, but Andrius is not yet home. She can’t stop worrying because it’s the first time that the man never calls or send her a message about his whereabouts. She did try to call her father and even the old man, is not responding.She glanced at the wall clock and it was already nine-thirty in the evening. The two maids already bid goodbye as they already needed to rest. She just let them and left them alone in the living room as she waits for the boys.The two were stressing her out. She could have stayed at the Peregrine Club much longer or she could have slept at Helen’s apartment—their apartment when she was still dancing at the club.She lazily tapped the television remote as she scanned different channels. She can’t find any good movie to watch. In the end, she just turned off the television.She lay down on the couch and stared at the chandelier. She heaved a deep sigh. Suddenly, she then realizes how boring her life
