CHAPTER 13IAN'S POVThey always say that life is unfair and that having a bad day is already a bad luck. But for me, experiencing such phenomena is a blessing in disguise. Because if we try to look into it, there is a reason behind why that phenomenon has happened to you or why you experienced it. That is what I always believe in. I grew up thinking nothing but being a positive person. Why even though there are many obstacles I encounter on the way, I am not shaken. I focused on surrounding myself with people who give nothing but positive vibes to my life because I didn't want to live a meaningless life.Mom told me to choose what I know will make me happy. And do what my heart says because no one can dictate what life I want for myself. But that's why I believe that there is a reason behind the things that have happened because I know that after that there is only one of two things you will achieve: to be successful or to lose your way. But either way, I realized that I should enjoy
PROLOGUEMYCA'S POVI stared at the hard copies of the complaints from the customers of my resort. I bite my lower lip. The reviews are good but I didn't foresee how I'll be needing more experienced and reliable staff. That's why I immediately had a problem because of the complaints I saw from our other customers. Four of my staff are not working properly. I have to replace them as soon as possible. This is the only reason I went home because it hasn't been two years since this second resort of mine opened. So I'm afraid that it will suddenly collapse just because of the complaints of our previous customers."Gigi! Make a flyer for the job interview. We need to find a replacement for those four before the end of this month. Make sure to put the requirements," I said with my problematic reaction to my secretary who had been standing in front of my tableShe nodded immediately. "Right away, Ms. Fortezo!" she replied and quickly exited.I leaned my back in my swivel chair to calm myself
CHAPTER 1MYCA'S POV"You will regret everything if you don't marry me, Myca," Farish said using his most authoritative and warning voice.I laughed at what he said. I may never understand men like him. The way he was able to tell me that, I couldn't understand what he was trying to point out. Why should I regret not marrying him at all? I'll be even happier!I rolled my eyes heavenward. "Did you guess that you are part of my future?" I asked him sarcastically.He looks like he's grimacing now with anger. I want to leave this place immediately. I can sense his anger as if I have stamped on his big ego and pride. But I don't care even if he disappears from here. I'm not a plastic person so I'll still show him my distaste. The important thing is that I told him everything. He can't blame me if I don't like him and why I acted like this in front of him."You know, Farish. It's ridiculous to think that you want to be tied down to someone like me when you can't live if you only sleep with
CHAPTER 2MYCA'S POVI thought there would be no more headaches in my life. I am already aware of how boring my life is to other people. I always work and work and all I think about is my resorts. If only work could get married, I would have already tied the knot. But life is not like that. I am trying my best to intermingle with everyone. That is the most crucial thing I need to learn for the sake of my business. So even though I don't want to socialize with others so that I can have a quiet life, I can't stop myself.My face was cold while reading the feedback from our customers yesterday. Even if they left positive feedback and gave my resort a four-star rating, I can't bring myself to smile because of what happened a while ago. I didn't know what it felt like to be annoyed and embarrassed at the same time. I quickly grabbed my cell phone that was just on the side of the table and immediately changed my home screen wallpaper. Danger! I am not lending my phone to anyone because of m
CHAPTER 3MYCA'S POV"Maybe you want me to give you a mic so everyone can hear your loud and irritating laugh?" I was annoyed when Ian didn't even stop laughing.I don't know why I'm getting mad and mad at him. I am not like this before. It was only today that we were able to talk in person because we are not close and I was only stalking his Instagram before. I had a crush on him before when we didn't talk in person. But now that he has ruined my mood twice, I don't want to see his face again. Maybe I'm just like this because of stress. Maybe it's on him that I heap my anger and annoyance on the world.I first saw him on Allison and Aamon's wedding day. My eyes instinctively went to him at that time. I didn't know Aamon's cousins before so I didn't know at that time that he was one of Allison's husband's cousins. He is very attentive when the preacher starts the reading. His deep eyes are mesmerizing to look at when serious. That's why when we were inside the mansion for the guests
CHAPTER 4MYCA'S POVAllison and Jilo worked together to tease me. I don't know but I just laugh because of what they both say. I know they're both just happy that I'm interested in dating anyone. I am only doing this for my future life's sake. I have no other motive other than that. Jilo left when he was worried because of his flight. I'm sad that I didn't even drive him to the airport because he insisted that I should not go with him. I even tried to delay him for a while because I don't want him to leave. That's why I went down to my room in the afternoon to stay in the office until late at night.I was about to turn to the left side of the corridor to enter my office when I saw the man in front of the lobby that the girls were messing with. He is filling up the form on the reception desk while girls flock to his side just to stare and admire his handsomeness. He doesn't seem bothered though. He seems to be very used to women acting like that in front of him. I just shook my head w
CHAPTER 5MYCA'S POVI'm the only one who feels an awkward atmosphere between the three of us. It's because I am the only one who seems to be affected. It's normal for them especially because they are cousins and Ace doesn't know that his playboy cousin is annoying. We waited for Ian's ordered food to arrive so we could eat together. While we were waiting, I just focused on my cell phone to pretend that I am still busy."You're here first. I thought the resort you are referring to is not located here in Manila. It happened that it's right here in the Philippines," Ace said while talking to Ian.I am acting as if this is all normal to me. Let's say I'm doing something on my cellphone and occasionally looking around. They didn't mind me because they were busy talking with each other. It's a good thing that Ace isn't talking to me because I don't know how I'll react if Ian interrupts the conversation. Because it happens all the time that as soon as I see his face, I become irritated.“
CHAPTER 6MYCA'S POVWe waited for Ace to finish. He seemed to enjoy what he was doing because he took a little longer diving underwater. He seems to be good at this. Maybe he used to be a diver or he has a passion for scuba diving so he can last just like that. I think he has surpassed my previous record. I don't think I will be able to hold on to that length. I use a lot of gas in my tank so I can't stay at the bottom for long. But he looks like he's been doing it for years."Sir is here, Ma'am," Chid informed as they helped Ace up.My face cleared up. I had already changed and my hair was a bit dry so I approached Ace. He gets the towel to Wil."You didn't mention that you are good at diving, Ace. You can dive a little longer," I said with a mixture of amazement.He scratched the back of his neck. He just hung the towel around his neck and faced me fully.“One of my hobbies is diving. I just enjoyed the whole view underwater then I tried to save more of my gas so I stayed longer th
