Time passed quickly, and it had already been a few months since she left her adopted family’s house. She lived in the cemetery with her newfound family. And her best friend, Alexa, the eldest daughter of the family. She was beautiful but a bit boyish. Alexa was older than her, but she did not go to college right after she graduated from high school because of poverty. She was working in a Shooting Range Club, trying to save money for her entrance exam to the military academy. There are only designated places where they can take their entrance exam, and sometimes it is held only at their military school, which is not in the capital.The good thing about the military academy because the government provides scholarships and allowances to all the students who pass the entrance exam. However, to be eligible to get the scholarship and allowance offered by the government for the passers will depend on the results or scores get by the examinees during the entrance examination. The continuati
When Harvey felt that his wife fainted, he panicked and immediately carried her to bring her to the hospital, but Joshua stopped him. With the kind of weather outside, there might already be a flood, and they will only be stuck in the middle of the traffic because of heavy rain and flood.“Let me check first,” Joshua said. Harvey nodded and carried her to their room. He helped her change her clothes first before instructing Joshua to come in. Adrian also followed and saw her mother in bed. He felt soured, but he stopped himself from crying.“She has a fever. I will give her an injection to reduce her fever. Let her rest first. She might rest and wake up the next day, but she might also wake up in the middle of the night.”“Okay, I understand.”“Don’t worry, we are just downstairs. We are about to stay anyway.” When Adrian heard that his mother might wake in the middle of the night, he went downstairs. He immediately went to the kitchen and picked-up ingredients. The people in the liv
After her dinner, she returned to the room. The heavy rain has already stopped, but the string breeze brushes her face.She walked to the balcony. All this time, she finally accepted the fact that whether it was in her previous life or the current life she had right now, she always kept herself busy during the day so she wouldn’t feel lonely. Or feel neglected. Or feel sad. But when the sunset and she’s alone in the room. Her loneliness will consume her. Before, when she felt lonely, cooking became her companion. It can only relay her feelings, but afterward, she would sit outside the balcony and look up at the stars and moon beneath the cover of darkness. She would think of her past life. Her past life. How full it was with the laughter and love of her friends and employees. And her master – the father she missed. Her goal and independence. Her freedom. She would miss how fulfilling her life had been. And the things that she wanted to do to enhance her skills. Even when she was lonel
When Ara woke up the next morning, she was hugging her sleeping son. She has no recollection as to when her son comes to their room. She touch his face and smile gently and made a promise.‘Whatever is the truth, I promise to protect you.’Harvey saw the gentle smile from his wife while caressing their son and while he was envious of the attention given to his son, he was still happy that Ara was now able to smile again.“Good Morning” Harvey suddenly said. Ara was startled when she suddenly heard Harvey. When she raised her sight, he saw her husband sitting in the bed with a book in his hand. He might have been woken up for a while and just reading while waiting for them to wake up. She suddenly blushed when she remembered what happened last night. She was crazy to allow Harvey to help her in taking a bath. It was still unacceptable even if she was not in her right mind. She was not even drunk not to know what was happening around her. Now, he had already seen everything and she can’
“Let’s have our lunch outside.”“Okay. Well, it has been a while since we ate outside except at our restaurant.“Do you like it?” Harvey asked while starting the engine and driving the car out of the cemetery.“Of course. Oh, by the way, where are the others? From the time we left the house, I haven’t seen them,” Ara asked. She thought that Aunt Melba and the rest would be following them, but until they left the cemetery, she had not seen the rest of them.“Ryan and the rest were already in the restaurant. They will just attend the mass, while Aunt Melba, Uncle Domeng, and Lulu will be following us soon. They were just caught in the traffic.”“They were caught in the traffic? Weren’t they just following us?”“Yeah, I’m not clear about what happened, but they said that there was a traffic incident.”“Oh, how was them?”“Don't worry, they're okay. They were not the one involved in the accident, it's just that, the accident happened in front of them and they were not able to pass.”“Good
With her family and friends urging, Ara walked calmly to the stage. She looked back, and Ara saw her son clapping and waving at her. She smiled back and turned her gaze to her husband smiling at her.Ara was wearing a white chiffon dress, and with just a simple movement, the dress flowed beautifully. Ara sat next to the piano like a fairy. She placed her slender hands on the piano and moved slightly, like gentle waves in the morning.She closed her eyes, enjoying the feeling. At this moment, Ara’s entire world is illuminated. Suddenly, Ara opened her eyes. Her eyes were shining. She turned again at her husband and son and smiled gently.At this moment, the sound of the piano was heard. Then, they heard her singing. Ara played the piano while singing.The song was about the anticipation, excitement, and full of love of a mother for her child. However, when Ara sings the song with the accompaniment of the piano, the song becomes a song of a child to the parent. Her version of the song s
It was already late in the afternoon when they returned home. Harvey with Gener and Diego went directly to his study to discuss some business.“Prepare the documents for the acquisition of the Diana Furnishing,” Harvey turned to Gener while closing the door. He went directly to his desk and opened the lower part of the drawer. He picked up the folder and gave the documents to Gener.“Why the sudden change?” Gener asked while checking the documents related to the acquisition.“Well, Ara is right. I’m a businessman, and I have to weigh the pros and cons before I make my decision. And upon weighing the pros and cons, and with further investigations, acquiring the whole company, it is more beneficial to acquire it and be part of the Empire Group rather than crashing it.”Gener raised his brows. If he remembered it correctly, they had suggested the same thing to him, yet he was firm with his decision to break Renzo’s support. But with just a suggestion from Ara, he changes his decision. He
When Ara woke up and went to the kitchen the next day, her son prepared their breakfast. Since Ara was not feeling well last night, Harvey took charge of sending their son to his school and forbade her to go to the restaurant. He ordered her to stay at home. However, that day was also the meeting date she had to meet her so-called brother. Although she can request to reschedule their meet-up as she doesn’t know the person, she decided to go as scheduled.Before Harvey left for work, he introduced Ara to her driver. He knew that Ara still had the trauma of the past accident and did not want to drive. Aside from being a driver, he also assigned one guard for her protection, which Ara readily accepted. Although she was not used to being guarded, she was not stubborn to disregard her safety, especially when someone followed her. Ara also knew her purpose in occupying Arrianne's body. Since her husband is willing to provide her with a bodyguard, she is happy to accept it.After the father
