CARLA CHRISTINE POV-“HAHAHAHAHAHA!”We all looked at Edward after he laughed, and his voice dominated the entire set.When Edward looked at us—at Yuichi, to be exact—he stopped laughing and took a deep breath. “Rachel told a joke. Sorry for the inconvenience.”Rachel gave Edward a sharp look.“What a possessive friend.” Laughing Lance commented it was just a whisper that only the three of us heard, for sure.If I didn’t know that Lance knew the truth about Yuichi and I’s relationship, I would believe that Lance believed in Yuichi’s friend thing.“This shoot is over,” Yuichi said firmly.I was on the verge of refusing because it’s embarrassing if the shoot is stopped just because Yuichi wants it, but when the photographer announced it was a wrap and I could leave because the shoot was over, I expressed gratitude to him and everyone.Suddenly, Yuichi pulled me into my dressing room and locked it.“Hurry and change your clothes,” Yuichi said.I’m wearing a red one-piece swimsuit covere
Carla Christine POV- After the woman broke away from the hug, I couldn’t avoid looking at her from head to toe.I don’t think we’re that far apart in age; however, the woman looks more sophisticated than me. Her long black straight hair accentuates the whiteness of her skin. She looks comes from a rich family and looks like she has a jolly personality.“Is this your new house?” The woman asked Yuichi with a smile on her face.“How did you find this?” Yuichi asked the woman.“Don’t underestimate what I can do, especially my love for you, Yuichi.”Love? Wow!? They flirt here in front of me. In front of his wife?Until I noticed the woman looking at me. She stared at me for a few seconds before turning her gaze back to Yuichi.“Who is she? She’s a new face in my eyes,” the woman asked curiously.Yuichi glanced at me before answering the woman’s question. “She’s nobody.”I
As usual, I ate together with my parents,because today is my birthday. Our meals are special on my birthday, because Mommy and I cook what we will eat. The maids and others in the house are sent home for a day off until next week, but there is no deduction from their salaries. My parents always did that. Eery time it’s my birthday, all their employees in the company and here at home send home or take a day off so that they can be with their family and I can also be with my parents the whole day without any nuisance. One of the days I really like is my birthday. Because, every birthday we have the opportunity to be together the whole day. We are all always busy, so we often just eat together and talk. My parents are busy with the company, while I am busy with school especially so. Every time it’s my birthday, no matter what day it is, they dedicate their whole one day to celebrate my birthday. I just gasp every time I think about our thesis defence. I feel like my head will exp
CARLA CHRISTINE’s P.O.V. - When I came back from the cemetery, I went home immediately. I’m excited to see my auntie and uncle. They have both taken care of me since my parents passed away. To the two of them I also first entrusted our company and other businesses that were bequeathed to me while I was studyin. They never left me. They took care of me like a real child and the same care they did for the company and business that my parents left me. So even though I lost my parents, somehow I still felt the love of having a parent. But, no one can match my parent’s care and love for me. But now my twenty-fourth birthday is now going to be transferred to me again, the name of the company and other business that my parents left me. Apart from finishing my studies, I will resign from my job and will focus on the legacy my parents left me. So it was as if I was taking care of my parents as well. My parents, they both worked hard to take care of the company and business, bequeathed to
CARLA CHRISTINE’s P.O.V. - “Carla Christine Zabala, you’re mine now.” I looked straight into the pair of eyes of the man in front of me now. His brown eyes are directly looking at my black eyes that feel sure of what he told me. I want to ask him what he is saying? But the fear I feel for him is still more dominant. “Let’s go—what happened to your hand? Why is it bleeding?” When he was about to touch my bloody hand, I took that opportunity to push him and stand up. He didn’t seem to expect me to push him, so he fell for my resemblance to him. After I stood up and almost fell because until now my knees were still tender because I was so scared of that man. “Carla Christine Zabala, comeback here!” I heard that man shout again. I was about to touch the doorknob, but I was stunned by a mixture of fear and shock when he reached out to me and held one of my arms. I tried to remove his grip on my arm, but my hand felt like a weak wind with his strength. He held both my arms, the
I tried to push him away from me, but it seemed useless for me to push him because he kept kissing me.“You’re mine now, Christine,” he husky said in his sexy lower tone of voice.This man must be crazy. Why does he keep saying that I am his? I am not used for anyone’s possession and even more so I am not owned by anyone.All the hair on my body rises when I feel one of his hands move around my back until I feel one of his hands on my chest.He stopped kissing me and then he stared at my face until he passed me, looking down.His expression was blank, so I couldn’t figure out what he was thinking while looking at me. But I only knew one thing: I had to find a way to escape this crazy man.As I was thinking of a way, I was surprised after this man removed his hold on me and then he sighed.“I didn’t mea---”I did not hear him finish speaking because I quickly ran to the door, but even though I was not halfway to the door, I quickly chased and grabbed this man’s arm.After I looked at hi
I quickly pushed this man away and slapped him on his right cheek.Masses my anger at him intensifies even more at these times. What did he think of me as something to be tormented by his lust?“I’ll pay you that bullshit ten billion dollars in one month.” I say emphatically to him. This man grinned, then he looked at me. “I’m just reminding you that you don’t have any more money.”I just looked at him sharply at what he said. He’s right, I don’t have any money anymore, so how can I pay that much money in one month? Even if my salary is one million dollars every day for one month, my money will not be enough to pay him that much.This man turned his back on me again and then walked to his swivel chair. He took his coat, then he threw it at me.“Put on my coat.”I looked at the coat he had thrown. This coat was big and long enough to cover my body until it was past the panty.“Will you wear that or will I undress you so you can get out of this company undress?”I quickly picked up the
When my spirit woke up, the first thing I felt was my headache and the weight of my body that made me feel as if something heavy had hit me.I was about to massage my forehead so that somehow my headache would go away, but when I moved my hand, then I just felt a warm hand. I look at the owner of the hand holding my hand. He was sitting in a chair while sitting on the chair and holding one hand in mine. I quickly remove this Yuichi’s grip on me. After I removed his grip on my hand, he woke up.“How are your feeling?”I raised an eyebrow at his question and stared as tears welled up in my eyes.How dare he ask my feelings? Did he forget what he did to me?I suddenly closed my eyes when he was about to touch me. “Don’t touch me.” I quickly said, then firmly, very close to the comforter that rested on my body.Minutes later I could not feel his hand, so I opened my eyes again and slowly looked at him.He is looking at me—he is staring at me. His narrow pair of eyes were chubby, as i
