Three Days Later…

Francis’s POV

“Daddy Francis, look! I made a drawing!”

Xai came running toward me, proudly holding up a paper with a drawing of a man and a woman standing side by side.

“Wow. Who are they, baby? You and your brother?” I teased, pinching her cheek until she giggled.

She shook her head. “No.”

“Oh? Then who are they?” I asked, glancing at the drawing again.

“You and your girlfriend,” she said innocently.

I froze for a second before bursting into laughter. “Baby Xai, where did you get that idea? Daddy Francis doesn’t have a girlfriend.”

She pouted. “But that girl we saw earlier—she’s your girlfriend, right? She doesn’t even talk to you formally! And she takes care of you, and me, and Kuya.”

I smiled faintly. “No, baby. That’s Auntie Gianna. She’s not my girlfriend. She just takes care of us because that’s her job. She works for me,” I explained, though I could tell from her blank expression that she didn’t understand a word I said. I chuckled softly.

    I jolted awake, heart hammering, grateful that it was just a nightmare.A nightmare so vivid it still made my hair stand on end.Me? Crushing on Francis? That arrogant, full-of-himself, infuriating man?No. Never. Absolutely not.I shook my head, climbed out of bed, and forced myself to get ready for work.Today was shaping up to be one of those mornings. First, the water supply was mysteriously cut off. Then, I realized I’d left my wallet in my room—but at least I had some extra cash in my bag. And third… I was late for work. Great. What else could go wrong?I rushed into the office, but he wasn’t there. I checked my phone repeatedly. No messages. No calls. Where is he? Sick? Overslept?A few minutes later, I bumped into Gael in the hallway.“Morning, bhe,” she greeted with a playful smile. I returned a weak one.I glanced to my right and froze. Someone had just caught my attention.“Whoa… who’s that?” I whispered.Gael followed my gaze.“Oh, that’s Ms. Akeshia. She’s Sir Asher’s fia

    I have no idea how long I’ve been standing in front of the company doors, just staring blankly while waiting for the rain to stop.My mind’s been drowning in thoughts, and I didn’t even notice it was getting dark already.Why is it that whenever I actually bring an umbrella, it never rains — but the moment I leave it at home, the sky decides to attack me?Great. How am I supposed to go home now?And as if that’s not enough, my brain keeps replaying what happened earlier.I bit my finger as the guilt crept in again. I don’t know why I still feel bad about it.Was what I said wrong? Was I the one at fault? Ugh!And there it goes — the flashback hits me right in the face.---[ FLASHBACK ]“Why aren’t you eating?” my boss asked.We were at our usual lunch spot. The food looked delicious, but for some reason, I felt full — or maybe just not in the mood. That awkward atmosphere again.“I’m not hungry,” I replied, bored.Of course, he ignored me. What’s new.Since I had nothing to do, I jus

    I shot up from bed when my phone suddenly blasted like a fire alarm. What the hell—what time is it?! I grabbed my phone from the table beside my bed. Wait… this isn’t my alarm.A missed call from—Oh shit. Francis?!It’s so early. It’s literally 6:30 a.m. What’s this man’s problem now?I was about to ignore it when he called again. With a groan, I answered it.“What?!” I snapped.“Good morning. Don’t be late.”Then he just hung up.I stared blankly at nothing for a solid five seconds.What was that?That idiot Francis—ruining my morning this early. God, I hate him. I ran my hands through my hair, annoyed and still half-asleep.Then someone knocked at my door.“Gianna? Are you awake?” It was my landlady, Mrs. Tessa.“Yes, I’m up. Why?” I asked.“Come down and eat. Someone sent food earlier. A lot of it. It’s all for you,” she said.I frowned.“For me? From who?”She shrugged. “No idea. They didn’t say… oh wait, there was a note. Hold on.”She dug into her pocket, found a small envelope

    A few days passed, and Sir Asher had practically become a daily visitor at the company. And honestly? I was thrilled. I mean—who wouldn’t be? Getting to see him every day felt like an unexpected blessing from the universe.And today? He actually invited me to have lunch with him.My boss wasn’t here—apparently he had “important matters” in Cebu. I asked what he was doing there, but he hit me with a cold, “It’s none of your business.” Rude. He’d been there for three days already, so Sir Asher was temporarily managing the company.Which is why… here I am. Agreeing to join him for lunch, because let’s be real—who am I to refuse that smile?We returned to the same restaurant Francis brought me to the other day. I still remembered when he said we’d always eat here during lunch. But since he wasn’t around, I was with his brother instead.The same waiter approached us—the one who helped us last time. He looked surprised. Maybe he remembered me? Or maybe he noticed I wasn’t with the same man.

    Two weeks later…October 21.The day my room turns into a boiling pot of emotions.The day I cry into my pillow like it’s a full-time job.The day that should’ve been the happiest date on my yearly calendar—but instead, it never fails to break me.My birthday.I walked through the plaza carrying a bouquet of flowers. There weren’t many people around anymore; late afternoon had painted everything in a soft, quiet glow. The place was beautiful—trees everywhere, a small playground, a gentle breeze. Anyone else would find peace here.But not me. Not today.Because today was also the day I lost the woman who raised me when my parents didn’t—the grandmother who became my entire world. She died on my birthday, and since then, every year felt less like a celebration and more like a wound reopening.I sat on a bench near a huge tree, leaned back, and looked up at a sky slowly being swallowed by dusk. A few people passed by, happy, laughing, living their lives freely. My vision blurred before I
