Chapter 4
"How was your first day with the Señorito, my child?" Mom asked me while we were having dinner. I swallowed my food and took a sip of water. I wanted to tell them that I didn't want to go back tomorrow! But I knew they would be surprised if I did that.
I smiled to let them know that everything was fine, and then I started to share my day with them.
"It was okay, Mom. I just followed the Señorito and his friends all day, and if they needed anything, they would tell me."
"That's good if they're nice to you, dear." If only they knew, Mom.
Nice? I don't think they know the meaning of the word! Especially that girl, Miss Andi, who was constantly clinging to the Señorito like she was his girlfriend. Clara must have been mistaken when she said that the Señorito didn't have a girlfriend because on my first day with them, I witnessed all sorts of indecent behavior. It's a mess. Here's what happened...
"Good morning, Selena. How are you?" The Señora greeted me, and I don't know why, but I felt shy and comfortable at the same time. It's confusing, isn't it?
I bit my lower lip before answering her that I was fine. And I didn't say anything more. What's the reason for calling us, Señora?
She glanced at the Señorito, as if signaling him to come closer, and that's exactly what he did.
Ground, please swallow me whole! I kept screaming in my mind as the Señorito walked towards us, and I suddenly realized that he was looking straight at me again, and I couldn't get the image of what happened at the waterfall out of my mind! He saw my breasts, and I had nothing to hide from him! I could feel my face and ears burning with embarrassment! I wanted to leave and hide in the house, but I knew they would be suspicious! And it might even lead them to find out what happened! It would be even more unacceptable! Ugh.
We stared at each other for a few seconds before I averted my gaze. My heart felt like it was about to burst from nervousness!
But it seemed like it was nothing to him! Just like last time, there was no hint of any reaction on his face. Well, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case since he's probably used to seeing naked women!
Rich, handsome, and as Clara said, the parents of their business partners walked their daughters right up to the Señorito, so I wouldn't be surprised if one look from him was enough to captivate a girl.
Maybe he has already forgotten about it. After all, I'm still too young for him, and maybe he's into mature women or FHM models.
Urgh! Why am I suddenly thinking about the type of women the Señorito likes when he saw my breasts! My mind shifted to the Señora as she started speaking again.
"I know all of you already know Kenzo, but since you will be my son's personal assistant while he's on vacation here at the Hacienda, I want you to formally introduce yourselves."
The Señora shifted her gaze between us, and it felt like my heart had come out of my ribcage. I couldn't feel the nervousness anymore, but I could definitely feel my knees weakening from what was happening!
"Kenzo, this is Selena. She's one of our workers here at the Hacienda. She doesn't come to the pavilion often because she works on the ranch with Marco and her parents. But since you're interested in horses, I chose someone familiar with the work. And here she is."
The Señora pointed at me, and I didn't know what to say or do. Should I raise my hand for a handshake? But can I even do that? I'm just their worker. Before I could react, he spoke, and honestly, if the ground could open up and swallow me, I would have beaten him to it and jumped in!
"Yeah, I met her the other day at the falls," he said meaningfully to me and grinned. I couldn't help but notice his gaze shift from my face to my chest. I don't know if I'm overreacting, but his eyes seemed to linger there for a while!
I was incredibly nervous and embarrassed about what was happening! Because of my naturally tanned skin, I was confident that they couldn't see my face and ears turning red.
"Really! That's nice, at least you're already familiar with each other," the Señora said.
"More than familiar," the Señorito replied, looking at me again.
"Do you agree with that, Selena?" he asked me. I instinctively took a step back, and before I knew it, Marco gently held onto my arm. I looked at him, and he was just staring at me, knowing that I wasn't comfortable. I hadn't told him that I had encountered the Señorito at the waterfall!
He might wonder why there was another guy at the waterfall and might ask questions I couldn't answer! I wasn't used to lying, and I might even end up revealing everything! That the Señorito had seen me when he shouldn't have!
"Are you okay?" Marco whispered to me. As I've said, he tends to be overprotective when it comes to me.
I just nodded and smiled. He seemed like he was about to say something based on the way his mouth opened, but he stopped when the Señora spoke again.
"Now that you'll be starting as Kenzo's assistant, I hope everything goes well for you, Selena." I didn't really have a choice, did I? I just nodded, even though I could feel that it might be my downfall.
"Don't worry; your job is easy, Hija. You just have to follow my son, and you know that he's still not very familiar with the Hacienda."
Señora, it seems like he won't be leaving anytime soon because he's already grown up, I thought to myself.
Chapter 12I gasped as my tears fell one after another, I felt the exact pain I felt the day I found out that Mom and Dad were gone, the only difference was now, Kenzo was here with me. And somehow I feel relieved that I can no longer feel that I am alone."I'm sorry for not being there for you when you needed me the most. I was supposed to be there to accompany you but I wasn't.I even turned my back on you and tried to forget what we are, what we have back then. I know it's too late for me to apologize to you. The damage has been done. I can't take back the time we lost and those times you are hurting, those times you are in so much pain because of me and that tragedy happened.I'm sorry, I thought the decision I had was correct... I thought that over time you will forget about me, what happened to us. The memories we have together especially since you know that I have continued my marriage with Marga. I will not ask you to understand my marriage with Marga. The more I have no reaso
Chapter 11I would have accepted it if you did it in the first months when this issue was still hot, but no! You really waited for my anger towards you to take root before you made such a move. T angina!" I snapped at him."Selena please..." And then he held my palm and gently squeezed my palm and continued what he was saying."Mom and Dad observe that we are distant from each other, like we are still strangers despite the fact that we are siblings. Mom is sometimes asking if we're in a secret fight. She keeps on questioning me, that there is something happened to us here at the hacienda that they didn't know. Reason why we have this cold relationship. She doesn't believe that it's just about you having a misunderstanding with Marga back then.""Well, you shouldn't have told them that you made me pass the time and make fun of me the first time you came here to the hacienda!" I told him using my furious voice while at the same time looking straight into his eyes.I can already feel my
Chapter 9Kenzo immediately came close to me and then he also knelt in front of me to check on me. He violently combed his hair with one of his hands, when he saw how I would cover the wound with my other hand when it was my knee."I told you to be careful. You really won't listen." He said to me annoyed and then he held that hand if he was holding it, I don't even want it if I look at his face and he looks at me badly. I just got angry and let him see my knee."Look at the size of your wound." Kenzo told me strongly and he still doesn't think anything bad about me. In fact, my wound was really big, like the size of my palm. Sigh. I couldn't say anything because I couldn't think of anything other than the pain in my knee and how I could get out of where we were sitting. So I tried to stand up..."Hey... what are you doing?" Kenzo quickly told me and then he held me by both of my waists, it's a good thing he was supporting me because I might have been sitting where I was standing witho
Chapter 8Why do I suddenly feel the same as a child? Because I make Mommy cry?"Selena, Hija let's go inside. We can talk about this more inside. I promise your Mom and I will fix this." Daddy said more but I just shook my head."Why, Dad, don't you want them to know who you and Mommy really are?" I can already hear the whispering of people behind me."Let's talk inside so you can easily finish the problem I brought? What's the difference between what you tell me inside and what you tell me now, right? I'm already my hint as to how this will end, eh! I'm grounded ? What this time, can I walk around until I'm only inside the mansion? Or can I only go to the four corners of my room? And then the helpers will bring me food.""Son, it's not like that..." Daddy answered."Dad, Mom... I understand the part that why you are addicted to work is for Kenzo and I's future. I received that part a long time ago, the only thing I don't understand now is why I am not happy? Yes, I am thankful You a
Chapter 7When I went down into the water, my body immediately relaxed because of the warm water on the bathtub and then I put my knees together and hugged them, then put my chin on it."Doesn't anyone even know that it's my birthday today..." I said to the air and before my tears started to fall, I closed my eyes tightly.After taking a bath, I am feeling too lazy to take care of myself so I ended up lying in bed naked and hair is still wet from the bath. I didn't even notice that I fell asleep completely. It's just that I fell asleep a bit quickly because I heard noises outside.It looks like their fun outside is in full blast. So, I got up from my bed and went straight to the walk in closet to get my clothes on and then I decided to go out to see what was going on outside but I won't let them see me.I just want to see what's going on because I can't see anything from here in my room except the roof of the tent they built.I'm even a little weirded out by myself because, I went out
Chapter 6The party, dining, dancing continued since my orchestra was arranged for this party. I didn't even notice that with the number of guests there was a line in front of our table. Everyone seems to want to meet me at my bonus because everyone is carrying a gift that they seem to want to give to me personally.I just noticed that Mommy has been busy on her phone for a while, even when we get up for a phone call, she seems to be my problem, well I think it's just basing on her facial expression.Until the next person in line was Mommy and Daddy's friend who talked to us."Hello again Hija." And then he smiled at me. I smiled too."Um, hi." I shyly told him."Your Mommy's speech for you was so touching that I even cried a little." My mouth fell open in shock and he smiled as he finally laughed."Selena by the way, I haven't even introduced my comrade to you yet." Daddy intervened in our conversation."Let me do the honor mate..." And then he extended his hand to me and then he sai
