Chapter 19
I stood up and stepped back when Jeff started to approach me. My survival instincts started to kick in. The first thing I wanted to do was to run and so I did but Jeff was quick enough to block me. He imprisoned me in his arms and locked my hands with his.
I struggled to break away from his grip because it is obvious that he is stronger and bigger than me. I am no match in him in terms of strength.
“Let go of me,” I hissed and kicked his leg but he didn’t seem to mind it.
“Let go of me!” I shouted again at his face.
“Don’t fight me anymore, Jill. I know you still want me and I feel the same way to you too. Stop ignoring me.”
My mouth opened in surprise and amazement. How dare this guy think that I still want him after I caught him cheating on me. No one in the right mind will still stay even after catching her boyfriend in bed with another woman.
“Who told you that I am still into you? It

“What is wrong, Jill?”I sniffed on my already wet tissue and then threw it on the trash bin together with other tons of wet wipes before answering Laurie who is looking at me with utmost curiosity from her seat on the far side of her room.“What’s wrong? Everything is wrong, Laurie!” I blurted out while stuffing tissues on my face again. My mascara is all over my face but I don’t care about being vain anymore. My vanity will not save me from the horrible heartache and shit I am feeling now.After the scene in the hotel, I did not go back to work. Instead, I instructed the cab driver to take me to Laurie’s pad. I did not care anymore if I found her lying naked with a man in her bed because I am so absorbed with my own problems. I badly needed a friend now or else I’m going to explode in mixed anger and frustration.“Relax, Jill. Tell me everything first. Let me understand first so that I know what&rsqu

“Did you think so?” I asked in a lowered voice.Laurie nodded. “Yes, I think so and so were all of our friends who are so worried of you.”I exhaled and grasped her hand and looked her in the eyes.“Laurie?”I tightened my grip on her hand. “Can I ask for a favor?” I asked pleadingly.She looked away, sighed, and looked back to me. “One favor, Jill. One last favor you can ask me.”My tears fell again. “Yes, one last favor.”“What is it?” she murmured.“Let me do this one thing for Von. If I failed, then I will completely stop this craziness you say I’m committing and fly back to Europe. You don’t have to go with me there. Just promise me that after I’m done making a fool of myself, you will drag me out of this and knock some senses on me. In the meantime, let me be please for my own happiness. Can you do that for me?”Laurie’s face showed that of someone on exact disagreement with what she had just heard but I can also read

“Where have you been yesterday? I’ve been so while worried looking for you.”I ignored my mother’s usual rant in the morning and sat on the dining chair as if I did not hear her. I put the table napkin aside and sipped on my mango juice. I just got home from Laurie’s pad. As expected, my mother has been calling me all night but I just left a voice mail saying that I’m alright.I don't get why she is still acting this way. We know that she knows where I am. Just one phone call to the right people will solve her dilemma.“Answer me, Jill. Where have you been yesterday? Trevor informed me that you refuse to come with him. What happened?”I looked at my mother who is seated on the far end of the table and then back to the green veggies on my plate. “I was just suffocated for being in there. I hate the way they look at me with privy eyes,” I said without even looking at her. I don’t want her to know how hurt I was yesterday. It’s better for her to think that I cho

Jillian, I repeated my name in my head. It's been so long since someone called me in my full name. Few people know my real name because I deliberately hide it for a personal reason. I stopped wanting being called in that name after my dad was killed. He is the one who gave me that name."I remembered my father." I sighed and concentrated on the view outside the car.We didn't talk after that. Von is quick to catch my mood that says I don't want to talk about it anymore. He parked outside our building and got out of the car to open the door for me."Thank you. I appreciate you doing this. I know you're a busy man.""Not as busy as you once you've taken over your company."My mood turned sour. "That is still so far from happening. I don't want to think about it yet. For now, I am enjoying every second of being buried in tons of phone calls and paper works.""Can you spare me some of your time, office girl? I have a reservation for a dinn

It's been past eight already but Von didn't show up yet. Every tick of the clock sends me into waiting mania but I didn't see his car come from the window of my room.Every minute I called our helper to ask if Von has arrived already but I always get disappointed every time the maid looks at me as if she's sorry.Five minutes until nine I called Von but his phone is out of coverage. I'm starting to get pissed but I keep my composure intact.I don't want to ruin this night especially now that this is our first time to dine out together. When the clock strikes nine in the evening, I was beginning to get worried.He is not picking his phone and he is not in his house according to the woman who received my call which leads me into thinking that something must have happened to him. It's so unlike of him to turn off his phone. I know that because every time I call him out of the blue, he answered me in just one ring.I was about to call

We arrived inside a fine dining restaurant. He led me into a private area and pulled a chair for me."Thank you," I said and scanned the place.I've been in this place countless of times before with my friends because I love their Mediterranean food. The place is the same but I'm seeing it in a different light now. It's like the colors on the walls are brighter, the flowers are fresher to look at."What made you bring me out to a dinner, Von?" I asked while we're eating."No particular reason. I just want to treat you to a dinner," he replied in between eating and drinking wine."I just thought it's so random for you to invite me out. Anyway, I'm glad you were taking the initiative to ask me out now. We're friends to begin with given that you have a history with my family.""I know. How's office? Are you adjusting well? How's the workload? Are you having a hard time?"My heart went extra wide in girth at his question

I became speechless again for the second time. I became too appalled to know what other ways Von has suffered in the hands of that evil man.With trembling hands, I picked up the glass of wine to take a drink but I almost spill it up due to my unstable grip. Fortunately, Von was quick to help me."T-thank you." I took a sip to calm my nerves. Hearing all these horrible things from the victim himself is even more disturbing. My admiration for Von just went to the sky because of how he had overcome the difficult situation. If I were in his shoes, I could have been crazy now."I'm sorry. This is supposed to be a light dinner to keep you off from the pressure in your office but look what it turned out to be.""No, no. No need to say sorry. I'm even touched right now because you told me all of these. It means you are trusting me. It's hard to open things like this to anyone, let alone with someone like me. You know, we haven't know each other that much."

"You seemed to be extraordinarily happy for today."I looked up from what I am scrolling on my smartphone to see my mother on her usual office attire look. She is holding a glass of juice on her right hand."You going to the office? But it's Sunday today. Don't CEOs have rest days?" I put my feet up on the coffee table and rested my head on the throw pillow. It's a windy Sunday day so I decided to be lounging in the lanai area.Sunday is my rest day so I have all the time in the world for today. I'm planning to call Laurie for our mandatory spa and salon treatment day.My mother offered me the glass of juice which I received and then she leaned in and kissed me on the temple."I have a lunch meeting with the ambassador from Japan. Take care. Love you, dear."I didn't have a chance to respond to her because she already walked out on me. I sighed and drank the juice.I was just thinking to ask my mom to come with us. I want
