Remembering The Billionaire

The sun was peeking through the glass of the car. It was a bright Sunday morning, yet the road was already in a bustle.“Look at that!” Calvin said in amazement while staring at the huge Ferris wheel, miles from them. She chuckled at his excitement. He was sitting on her lap as he turned from left to right, scanning the busy city. His eyes sparkled every time he saw huge buildings. They seldom went to the city, but finally, after 4 years, Kervin decided that they should stay here in Manila for good. His company is growing, and his busy schedule doesn’t allow him to travel for long. “Four hours could be spent with more memories with you two, instead of driving back and forth,” she remembered him saying. He’s such a good, intelligent, sweet and caring man, and yet, she couldn’t understand why the mother of Calvin left her brother. Calvin was still a kid when his mother left them, according to him. She wanted to know whst happened, but she ont want to bother her

“Are you sure you won’t come with us? I have your ticket,” Kervin said while looking at Klynne. Klynne watched the passenger in front of her who were busy doing their thing--mostly, pulling their luggages in and out of the airport.They were supposed to have a vacation in Hong Kong, primarily for Kervin’s business. Klynne didn’t know much but it looks like her brother managed to pursue a good investor for his company.Kervin has always shown how he wanted to be a successful businessman someday, and Klynne cannot deny the dedication of his brother. After Kervin’s startup restaurant went bankrupt, he became more persistent to reach the top that Klynne knew he could do anything for his dream. Not for himself but for her and Calvin. Afterall, they are the only family left to him.“I can’t.” She sighed. “I have an urgent presentation for our client. ”“I understand. Good luck. I know you’ll do well.” Kervin tapped her shoulder as if conveying that everything wil

Mirco froze when he heard her call his name.Klynne’s eyes widened as the name slipped off her mouth. Alvien Mirco Cortel does not want to be called by his second name. She has read about it. News and Gossips online said he hated the name and she just called him that. He doesn't even know her! How dare she?!Klynne wanted to smack her head but it would be too embarrassing for her. She looked at Mirco who’s now close-fisted.He would not hurt a woman, right?“I-I mean, Mr, C-cortel...”The man in front of her faced her. Their eyes met. His jaw was clenched tight in madness, Klynne felt her knees buckled. She immediately looked away.“What did you just call me?” he asked in a deep voice, making Klynne shiver.“I’m sorry, it just slip--”“Mr. Cortel?”Klynne looked at him. She thought he was angry because she called him by his second name. But why is he asking if she addressed him professionally?Not knowing what to do, Klynne chose to be si

“We lost them,” Travis said with a grin, after looking at the side mirror.Mirco shook his head. They had been joining race car driving ever since college. He was sure Travis missed those moments too, that's why when he had the opportunity earlier, Travis didn’t bother to step on the gas and drive the car at full speed. Luckily, they weren’t chased by the police. “Maybe we could race again. Sunday, what do you think?” Travis asked as he stopped in front of the stop light. “Let me talk to Kendall, first.” “Sure,” Travis agreed immediately. He loves that kid too. If they need to choose, he was sure they both would rather go shopping with Kendall than race driving. “Kendall should know about her,” Travis opened up after a long silence between them. He knew he should not mind his business, but he doesn't want his best friend to make a wrong decision and regret it sooner. What will happen if Kendall soon finds out? He waited for

When Klynne found out that she was in a safe house, she didn’t imagine that it would be a house in the middle of the woods, and there would be a lake near it. It was too early when they woke up that fog could still be seen, while streaks of sunlight were peaking from tall trees. The magnificent view instantly gave her a relaxing feeling, especially when she let the fresh cold breeze of air come into her lungs. For a moment, she thought she’s in a different world. Klynne brushed her shoulder while her other arms were holding a small thermos, she saw in the kitchen earlier. If she only knew that the atmosphere outside the house wasn’t as warm as in the house, she should have gotten at least something to cover herself. She looked all around the house but didn’t find him, thus, she tried to walk farther. She saw the wooden dock near the lake that seemed tempting to sit on, but she needed to find Mr. Cortel first. That way, she could tell him about the music box. Klynne wandered around t
