Chapter 35
"Cathy, I'll be there later after an hour. I just have to run some errands for my perfectionist mother. You know the drill about Madam Divina. She gets everyone so worked out."
Cathy chuckled at the line and quickly dimissed me. She said that she will do the report first while waiting for me.
"I didn't know how you do it Cathy but I'm so glad I'm not you."
Cathy laughed. "And I'm also glad I'm not you, Jill. I can't see myself being foolish just for a guy!"
"Uh-huh. You are not going there. I'll hang up. See you."
Five minutes more and I am parking outside Von's residence to give him the paper myself. My mother said it's a very confidential matter so I need to take it myself. I didn't ask for any further questions. Even though I promised her that I will do everything she wanted me to do, I'm still having a tug-of-war relationship with working for the company.
"Sorry Ma'am Jill but Sir Von instructed us not to receive any guest for now."

"Stop meddling with my affairs, Jill. Go home or go to work. You will never get anything worthwhile from involving yourself to my life."He stood up and walked to me to get the envelope but out of my frustration, I tore the document into two pieces and handed them to him. Von gritted his teeth and threw the papers on the floor."What is wrong with you?!" he roared.That's when I knew that I can't take it all in anymore. With my eyes blazing hot in tears, I stood up and faced his wrath."What is wrong with me?! You! What is wrong with you?! Why can't you see all that I've done for you! I've done everything for you Trevor just so you could give me a part of your heart! I've done everything for you but your eyes are still glued to Sandy! Can I ask what did she do for you to love her that much? Can you compare it to what I have done for you? Can she die for you? Can she help you like I did? Is she willing to give up eve

"I told you already, Jill. I warned you the first time you told me about your fascination with Von that you should never expect your feelings to be reciprocated by someone who still has hang-ups for his ex."I poured myself another whiskey and drank it all out."I know, Cathe. I know! But what can I do?! I'm stupid and madly in love! How can I caution myself to be out of his life when all of me is screaming for him! I love him, Cathy! I fucking love him!"I wept and howled at the same time while thinking about the disaster that had happenedCathe sat by my side on the floor on her room and snatched the glass away from my hand. What was supposed a visit to the newly opened spa turned out to be a crying session in her pad."Jill, I will tell you a secret only your mother knows.""What is it?" I asked in a ragged voice while I put the bottle on my mouth. To hell with the glass."Von and I had a past. We had a relationship dur

I am definitely back where I began but this time, it came with another twist.I'm now imprisoned in the promise I made with my mother to work in the company. I did not have the luxury of time to cry for another day because she put me on the front line out of the blue.I'd like to think that she did it on purpose but I know she doesn't know about what happened between me and Von. I don't want to tell her at all because I'm done asking for her help. What I want is to prove to her that I can do this starting now.It's also a good thing that I'm too absorb in the work. No time to think about how hurt I am.Sometimes I get myself astonished. There are days when I would stay up until the wee of morning crying until it's impossible to close my eyes while there are days when I felt like it all happened years ago. I tried to maintain my latter's disposition but the minute I wake up in the morning to go to work, the voi

"And why? Are you hiding something from me, Jill?"I bit my lips as I uttered the two words that I hope will convince her."I'm pregnant."Her face stayed blank before I saw the slightest change. Her eyes registered pity and then anger before it settles back to her usual stoic face."Who's the father?""You know who's the father. But my unborn child will have no father if the marriage will take place.""Does Trevor know about your condition?""No. I broke off whatever we have after I found out that he went back to Sandy. But mom, everything now has changed. We will have a child so I should be the one who will walk down that aisle and not Sandy. So please, don't stop me. He has the right to know about this."I wiped the tears off my face and turned my back."It's over, Jill. By the time you get there, the ceremony is over. Stop fighting for someone who clearly doesn't want you in his life. Let him go completely."I

But in my dejected and mournful state now, I don't think my mother could stop me from doing anything drastic.We entered a country club and then pulled off outside an open hall that's filled with all kinds of expensive flowers.

After five years"Did you remind Mr. Gonzales about the contract with the Barcellos?""Yes, madam. I've sent him a message thirty minutes ago and he replied that only the finishing touches of the contract are still on the roll."She opened the glass door for me and I entered the lobby of the last floor of the building."And what do you mean by finishing touches? I remember specifically instructing you to make sure I get the contract on my desk by the end of the day.""I get that, madam. Expect it to be on your desk as you said.""Good.

"Trevor has been looking this way for straight ten minutes now."I arched a brow at Cathy who is giving me side glances on the other side of our table."You're still counting until now? You told me that exactly five minutes ago."I sliced my steak on the plate and chewed it."Well, I thought you might want to know. Jill, do you still have feelings for him?" Cathy sipped on her glass of wine and tapped her fingers on the table while waiting for my answer."Feelings? What kind of feelings do you mean? If you mean love, then I can confidently say that I have outgrown my feelings for him."I sliced another chunk of meat."Really? Even when he has an exact replica in your house?"I glared at her and looked around."Watch your words, Cathy!"She just laughed and called the waiter for another bottle of wine.
