"It's you, what do you need and you came to my office?" Adante treats his wife Hera gently, while their housekeeper Susie is with her and brings tea for her."I brought you some tea, maybe it will help you to lighten your mood." Hera said to him in a modest voice. Adante stood up and approached him."It's me," he said to Manang Susie and took the white cup he was holding from the old man's hand, at the same time he put it down slowly on his table."Can you leave the two of us for now? I'll take care of taking him to the room." He even connected with the old maid. Manang Susie just smiled at him and left the couple inside the office. Adante closed the door and looked at his wife again.Because his mind is not in the condition right now. He thinks about many problems and what he discovers from Sabrina adds to that. So he let out a deep breath, before he approached his wife and hugged him from behind.Hera's eyes widened in shock when she felt her husband's arms around her waist. He didn
"Let me know after a week. Keep a close eye on Gwen and if possible follow her wherever she goes in the world." The last word I heard from Adante, before I separated from him and followed what he ordered me to do.I met him on a street, when I was being chased by the police. The job I have is too dangerous because my own life depends on it, many starving children depend on me and wait for my arrival.I grew up on the streets, with badjaos and beggars. But when I made up my mind, I used my own skills and intelligence. I have never experienced studying in a good school. Everything I learned only on the street or road.I used to watch and listen to the students. Little by little I will teach myself and I will learn things that I don't know yet.Using the knowledge I have, I share and teach it to the children I meet on the street.I don't want them to grow up ignorant and ignorant of the reality of the world. I know the feeling of being ignorant and belittled by other people. It's not bec
"Why did you help me?" I asked Adante before, after he saved my life from the brink of death. He took me to a remote place, to an island. Where the police are unlikely to track or even follow me.He just sat quietly in front of me while he treated the wound I got from the back of my thigh. Fortunately, it didn't go too deep, so he removed it immediately and covered it with a white bandage."There, it's over!" he said as he stood up. I sat up slowly from the position I was in earlier because I didn't want to fall down and the bullet might go deeper from the inside.I followed him with a look of surprise on my face. I also watched him all the time from head to toe, back.It cannot be denied that he has the looks and is really attractive at first glance. However, he's not my type of guy. I once fell in love with a young man, but the end of our love affair was sad.He died while saving my life and since then I have never fallen in love with another man again. For me, he is still my first
In just one week I will graduate from college and I will soon be able to be with Clara, my older sister. She is the reason I work hard in my studies, and she's also my only inspiration because she is the only one I have.No matter how hard it is to live alone here in England without enough knowledge and money, I insisted on graduating from college so that I can return to our home with honor and achievements.After our graduation, I immediately packed my things with the medal and diploma that I will show her as proof that I have graduated.I can hardly wait to see her and hug her so tightly. I'm excited to hang my medal on her and see the reaction on her face.A week later, I was able to return to the Philippines. While I was walking out of the airport, I kept looking around and my eyes were just looking for her.“Charm!” I quickly turned to the voice I heard. I thought it was Clara calling me, but I realized it was April, my cousin, and close friend. She urgently ran to me and hugged
When I entered the house, I immediately went straight to Clara's room. Her things were scattered on the floor and bed. But a box on her computer desk caught my attention. I approached it and opened it, where I realized that it was the things that she often uses and carries. I almost shed tears as I looked at them one by one and took them out of the box. Until a photo fell from a journal, so I immediately picked it up and looked at it.It's a picture of her with three guys with smiley lines on their lips. She never mentioned to me the men in the picture. Maybe it's her friends or co-workers. So, I didn't pay attention to it, instead, I turned my attention to her journal that I found inside the box. I sat on the bed for a while as I read what was written there.It's like a personal diary in which she writes every event in her life or whatever is running through her mind. I didn't notice suspicious on its first page. But as I read it, I seem to gradually get an idea of what she does da
A week ago, I received a box from an unknown sender again. Inside it was an old cell phone where it suddenly rang and someone was calling. I answered it immediately and put it close to my ear.“Who is this and what do you need from me?” I asked, but he took a long time to respond, I could only hear his heavy breathing. “I know you are the one sending me this box. Why are you helping me and how did you meet Clara?” I added, but again I heard silence from him, and he suddenly hung up on me. Until my cellphone vibrated, and I received a text message from him.“Let's meet at 107 Savante Ramos St. at I Bean coffee shop, at seven sharp in the evening.” The message he sent me.I tried to trace his IP address, but I had a hard time finding him because he was using an old cellphone, and it looked like he just threw it away somewhere.As stated in the message, I went to the said place at the right time. I sat near the window and was far from the eyes of the people there. While I was waiting for
"Good evening, sir and madam." Dante congratulated the business couple and owner of the large hacienda where they stand today.Currently celebrating the twenty-fifth birthday of their unica hija, Hera Marcaida. Known to be beautiful, sexy body, intelligent, sole heir of Marcaida and a great ballerina.But despite his perfect nature, he has the opposite attitude. She is rude, arrogant, cursing, sharp-tongued and looks down on men who want to claim her heart. He believes that they only want wealth or money from him. So until now, he still has no one to choose to marry even though there are many courting and queuing up for him.The Marcaida couple is voluntarily looking for a man to stay with them. They are just worried that she might not be able to marry again because she is very sensitive, especially with men. But no matter how hard they try to push it to others, he always refuses, avoids or doesn't show up to the blind dates reserved for him."Thank you and accept our invitation to yo
despite Hera walking and blurring her eyes due to forming tears, she suddenly bumped into the young waiter who was holding a tray of wine glasses. So, he dropped it and it broke on the floor.Because of this, he grabbed the attention of their guests. He turned to them and looked at him."I'm sorry, Ma'am. I really didn't mean to bump into you," the waiter apologized to him while picking up and cleaning the broken glasses.The girl could not move. He was confused about what to do and seemed to be rolling his eyes around. Bon noticed her immediately so he approached her and held her by the arm."Ms. Hera, are you okay?" he said worriedly while making sure he had no wounds or scars on his body."Bon," said the girl softly. The conversation between the two was interrupted when his father came on stage and got their attention."Attention to all the beautiful beauties and gentlemen attending this occasion. I am very grateful to all of you for attending the twenty-fifth birthday of our unica
