KATHLEEN was very tipsy at this moment. She wants to get lost in the club and forget what she and his father talked about yesterday about this marriage set up plan. Yes! She got him! Maybe he got tired of saying that she will get married at the right age and shoot! She's now twenty-nine years old and no man ever touches her virgin body! Can her father blame her? Sorry but she was too picky choosing for her forever! Gross! Her belief in life is that it is good to live as a single person.She laughed looking at Nica cursing Sheena. They were arguing about who first owned the man named Rolando."Why fight for a man when you can have those men out there?" She even pointed to the men at the other table. Edralyn sat beside her."You won't understand those two if you don't try to have a boyfriend," Edralyn said and giggled. It seems that she is right as well as her other two friends. She slouched her weight onto the couch."All of you know me. I can only flirt but give it up, hell no!" she answered. Bella, who had just come from the dance floor, stood next to her."You know what my friend! Flirting is okay but it's even better when you have a settled relationship, right?" said Bella."Don't settle for less Bella. We don't know what's gonna happen next," she answered."Exactly! Don't settle for being single for life!" Bella replied back to him."Have you contacted Vy? She's not answering her phone," she changed the conversation."She texted me! She said she was okay," Riza replied."Kath! Is your father a member of the intelligent service? There are a lot of them in tuxedos!" Farrah said while eating potato chips. It refers to the bodyguards who have been following her."They're guarding my diamond necklace," she answered with a laugh. Her friends also laughed."No wonder you're known by the name Ms. Brandy," Bella commented."I'm used to it," she simply answered.Honestly, she never knew where that came from but to be honest? She's not like what people used to see her. Yes, she is very rich and used to branded luxuries but she is not a spoiled brat and especially not impoverished. She was known to be generous, that's all."Kath, let's go home after these two get sober," said Bella and she didn't seem to like the noise made by Nica and Sheena, who had been swearing. She nodded then stood up."Wrap up guys! We're leaving!" Kathleen said to her friends. They stood up."Kath, we're settled at the resort, right?" Edralyn suddenly asked."Yes. I fixed that already. Why? Is there a problem?""We girls don't have, but that man, it looks like there is," said Nica and pointed to a man while talking to some of his bodyguards. She frowned and looked at what Nica pointed out. They're right. There's a man standing at the corner, talking to her bodyguards and they're quite serious."He's been looking at you for a while now," said Riza."Kath, are you in trouble?" Farrah suddenly asked her."I'm not," she answered because she really had no idea what was going on."Don't mind them. Let's go ladies."She was the first to leave the club when suddenly someone grabbed her right arm. His grip on her was not that painful but there was still a little pressure. When she looked at him, she immediately frowned. He is the man who's talking to her bodyguards a while ago."What do you think you're doing?" she asked him. She was tilting her head. He's too tall."We have to go.""We're leaving? What do you mean?"He didn't move and he pulled her straight out of the club. Her friends were confused too why she's dragged out by this man."What!? Let me go!" She squigles her body to make him let go of her."Don't wait for me to pick you up and throw you into the car." She was stunned by what he said. His voice was full of authority. He quickly took her into an orange Toyota Vios vehicle parked right near the entrance of the club. She's sitting in the front seat while this man is sitting at the other seat, facing the steering wheel. She quickly grabbed her cell phone from her bag."I swear! I'll make sure my father will fire you!" she said and dialed some numbers on her phone. The man was speechless. She called Riza."Kath, where are you? Why are you in another car? Why are these bodyguards of yours watching over us? Are you okay?" Riza asked her one after another after she answered her call."Riza, calm down! I'm still finding out what's going on. I'm fine, don't worry. Just enjoy, okay? Expenses are on me.""Okay, be careful." She dropped the call. She turned to the man who's still acting so serious while driving."Now explain to me what was happening?" She crossed her arms."Tomorrow, your father will call you.""What? You could just tell me, right?" she said with raised eyebrows. He suddenly stopped the car and took her bag."What the hell are you doing!?" her eyes widened in shock. He just stared at her. He took her cell phone and quickly turned it off."No phone calls," he said and threw her bag on the backseat. Her lips parted."Are you crazy!? How am I supposed to run my business without my phone!""Email," he answered frugally and started the car again."This is so stupid!" she said angrily and unbuckled her seatbelt. The car suddenly stopped causing her face to almost sink into the dashboard of the car."Are you out of your mind!?" she hysterically blurted."Oh yes my lady, in fact, the thing I hate most of all is that you are so loud," he said and took a handkerchief from his bag. He suddenly covered her mouth and she almost struggled to it. Oh shit! She felt so dizzy until she blacked out.Chapter 20AFTER eating, she took another dip in the river with Janette.Not long after, Gabrielle followed them and started swimming as well. And she had no idea what on earth was happening to her. She suddenly found herself staring at Gabrielle’s body. It felt like she was gawking at him. Janette suddenly snapped her out of it."You’re zoning out!" Janette said, laughing. Kathleen quickly covered Janette’s mouth."Ssh! What are you talking about?" She feigned ignorance, even though she was obviously caught in the act.Janette pulled her hand away."I saw you! You were staring at big brother Gabrielle’s body!" Janette teased, emphasizing Gabrielle’s name. Kathleen covered her mouth again."Ssh! I was not staring at him!" she denied firmly.Janette just laughed louder."Oh, that’s not what I saw. But don’t worry, I won’t tell big brother Gabrielle. Unless… he caught you himself!" Janette teased, bursting into laughter again.Kathleen squinted her eyes in annoyance.She just rolled her
Chapter 19EARLY THE NEXT MORNING, Kathleen was startled awake by Janette’s shrill voice. The younger girl was lightly knocking on the bedroom door."Ate Kathleen! Wake up already!"Kathleen groaned and sat up abruptly. Gabrielle was no longer beside her, as expected—he always woke up earlier than she did. She sighed, hearing Janette's voice again."Sister Kathleen! Are you still asleep? Get up! We're having breakfast by the river, according to mother Susana!" Janette called again from outside her room."Alright! I'm up, I'm up!" she replied, having no choice but to get out of bed.She walked to the door and opened it, revealing Janette’s beaming face."Oh? Morning," she greeted."Good morning! Don't forget to bring an extra set of clothes. You might want to take a bath in the river. I'll wait for you outside, okay? Hurry up!" Janette said excitedly.Kathleen couldn’t help but smile at her enthusiasm."Alright, I'll be right there. Just let me fix my bed first.""Okay! But be quick, o
Chapter 18"Have you ever eaten this before, Kathleen?" Janette suddenly asked."No! And not a chance," Kathleen replied, shaking her head."You're so picky," she heard Gabrielle mutter. She just frowned at him and moved a little farther away. Janette might start screaming again and accidentally throw another frog at her.After they finished cleaning the frogs, Gabrielle set them aside. He washed his hands, stood up, and left them, heading straight to the kitchen."Are we really going to eat that, Janette? Are you serious? Is there nothing else?""I don't know. But big brother Gabrielle said that’s what we're having," Janette answered.Kathleen's eyes widened, and she quickly went to find Gabrielle. The back door was locked, so she went around to the front door and rushed inside. When she got to the kitchen, she found Gabrielle busy cooking."Aren't you going to buy me something else to eat? You know I’ve never eaten that. Ever!" She emphasized the last word."Nope. I won’t buy you an
Chapter 17Kathleen really enjoyed the street foods she ate. Aside from balut, Janette also bought other snacks being sold along the roadside. Good thing, she liked all the street food that Janette recommended to her.She had already drunk two bottles of beer, but she wasn’t tipsy yet."Let's go home. I'm tired," said Gabrielle.Janette immediately frowned, but she didn’t protest."Sure," she simply agreed, knowing that if she complained, she might get scolded.They went home, and on the way, Janette fell asleep in the back seat."She's totally drunk," Kathleen commented with a wide grin."You seem like you're having fun," Gabrielle replied."I am having fun. At least, for a while, I can forget my problems, right? Especially the way you keep bossing me around and controlling my life?" she said, rolling her eyes.Gabrielle scoffed at her words."I'm not controlling your life. My job is just to keep you safe.""Yeah! What a great excuse! Of course!""Are you drunk?" he asked, furrowing
Chapter 16"SISTER KATHLEEN, it's time to eat!" Janette called out to her. That snapped her back to reality.She quickly left the room and acted normal as she headed to the kitchen. She bit her lower lip when she saw that she was about to sit next to Gabrielle. Darn, Kathleen! Why are you suddenly feeling awkward now? What's wrong with you? Her mind screamed. She closed her eyes tightly and inhaled deeply. Maybe she was just overthinking.Gabrielle noticed her still standing, so he moved slightly to make space for her. She then silently sat beside him without even glancing in his direction.Aling Susana served her food, and soon, everyone started eating. She started eating too, but she felt like she was losing her appetite. Unconsciously, she let out a sigh."What's wrong?" Gabrielle suddenly asked.She lifted her head and quickly shook her head. That’s when she realized that they were the only ones left at the dining table. She despaired. She had been too lost in thought to notice he
Chapter 15Kathleen woke up early before dawn. She had fallen asleep early the night before, so it was no surprise that she was up so soon.She sat up and immediately noticed that Gabrielle was no longer beside her. She shrugged. Why should she care if he was gone? It’s not like he cared about how she felt. She scoffed at her own thoughts.Grabbing her jacket, she put it on and stepped outside the house. She settled onto the swing. The sun was about to rise, so she wasn’t afraid to be alone.She gently swayed back and forth.That was when she noticed Gabrielle’s car pulling into the driveway. She hadn’t even realized he had left. Or maybe she was just too preoccupied to notice.Gabrielle got out of the car, carrying some bags. She raised an eyebrow, growing curious about where he had been.Kathleen wet her dry lips as Gabrielle spotted her and walked toward her.“What are you doing out here?” he asked in a firm voice.“Why? Am I not even allowed to sit on the swing now?” she retorted
