I don't need those proofs
Aira and Hailey gasped after I disclosed my story. They were both flabbergasted specifically in the part when I and Brent crossed our path. My story seems like an unreal one but it was the truth.
“So you’re saying that Brent’s father was the reason why your Dad committed suicide?” Hailey clarified unable to comprehend everything that happened.
“Yes, they sued my Dad with a crime that he didn’t commit," I reiterated to them that he was accused wrongly.
“Kelsie, have you tried to study the case and gathered evidence that proves your father's innocence?” I was disoriented by what Aira said, but my thought for what happened was firmed enough.
“I don’t need those proofs, Aira. I believe in my father’s words!” I insisted because my father won't lie to me. He was the most trustworthy person I've ever known.
"Don't get me wrong, Kelsie. Don't you think you are quite blinded by your love for your father? I mean you are versed on how to study case

Screaming Hearts If only you informed me
“Hey, it’s me!” I heard Brent’s baritone voice behind me. “You scared the hell out of me!” I scolded because I nearly got a heart attack. “I wanted to surprise you, but it turned out I was more surprised knowing that you're not home at this hour,” He was kind of pissed. I creased my brows because it was his fault for not telling me that he's coming back. “If only you informed me,” I turned my back and walked towards the kitchen to get a glass of water. My blood was boiling on his sudden reaction. I did imagine hugging him tight when he comes back but it was clearly the opposite. “And who was that guy who drove you home?" He was a bit loud and the exasperation in his gestures didn't go unnoticed. "Really, Kelsie? I rushed my work from another country so that I could go home with you the soonest. But I found out you are having fun and getting home late with that jerk," He frowned his face and was infuriated about what he saw. I never said anything
Screaming Hearts I need to get a shot
He was kissing the nook of my neck but I kept my silence. I couldn't believe I gave myself to him. I felt like I failed from my plan and burned by my own revenge. He was stroking my hair "I'm sorry," he whispered. "I'm not sorry that we did this but I'm so sorry about our fight. I was just jealous of that man," he added. The pain and regret were evident in his voice. "Baby, please say something," I could feel him sniffed and tightened his embrace. I stayed still not able to form a word because my mind was in chaos. In the chaos of my stupidity. “I’m an idiot for accusing you. Please forgive me," he murmured as he caressed my arms. "Olivia is just a family friend. It was a coincidence that she's having a photoshoot when she learned that I'm in Dubai and barged into my office space," he started to explain though I didn't utter a word. "It happened that she was invited to the same event," he continued and when he noticed that I'm not really sayin
Screaming Hearts Stop teasing me
“Every relationship isn’t perfect, there will come a time that conflict may arise" “What the- Brent!" I startled when he kissed me in a flash. I was too engrossed with the blog I'm reading on my computer. I did not expect that he will come back sooner. He had a lunch meeting with Mr. Tan the investor in their construction business. “What makes you drown with your computer that you did not feel my presence, huh?” he sat on my table and crossed his arms on his broad chest. A playful and questioning look on his face was evident. “I’m just reading,” I rolled my eyes at him “ I'm so bored, you didn’t even give me a workload. What Am I supposed to do here? Earning my salary without producing any single sweat?” I added with a bit of exasperation in my tone. “Baby, you need to rest I know I tire you,” He smirked making me blushed. I know what he meant. He already reiterated that he will not give me a workload, because according to him, I
Screaming Hearts So much jealousy
That night we decided to sleep in Brent’s penthouse. He wanted to have our dinner out but I resisted because I want to cook for us. I've been in his place a couple of times already so I'm familiar with his kitchen. In fact, he gave me all the security access to his penthouse if ever I feel the urge to stay especially when he isn't around or out to another country for business errands. He persuaded me to move in with him but I defied him since I'm not ready yet. "Baby, this is so good," he complimented my creamy spinach and basil lasagna. I put some more on his plate and I felt happy that he liked it. "Thank you," he said and smiled widely at me. Brent has been extra sweet to me since the day we made love. He couldn't stop himself from being clingy. I'm not complaining though as physical touch is one of his ways to express his love to me. We made love again that night which really worn me out the next morning. He convinced me to take an off but I don't w
Screaming Hearts Where are you?
“Damn it! So he’s the reason why you cried again!?” Hailey cursed loudly. “What did he do this time, Kelsie? To be honest, you look like a mess right now,” she blurted out. She doesn’t know how to filter her mouth but I like her frankness. Aira on the other hand kept quiet to listen to what I would say. She's the kind of person that will check on reasons before giving her opinion. “I-I got jealous when I saw them. They're close and comfortable with each other. I felt invisible around them and he did not introduce me neither," I told them. I wanted to leap out the feeling inside me and telling them would ease it a little. “And you ran away because you’re jealous? Girl, you’re the girlfriend you shouldn’t lower your head with those bitches. You have to fight for what is yours. If you’ll act this way then don’t be surprised if one day someone will steal him away from you,” Hailey exasperated. She really has the character of overreacting but I know that she
Screaming Hearts What are you doing here?
We were done with pampering at seven and the massage really helped my body ease. The aromatic scent calmed my nerves and released my anxieties. "Let's get ready!" Hailey exclaimed and we headed to our suite. I changed to a black tube dress which Hailey bought for me. The length reached right in the middle of my thigh. I’m a little disoriented with my clothes but Hailey insisted that it looks good on me. The gay in the Salon earlier curled the lower part of my hair. He put simple makeup to enhance my beauty especially my eyes and cheekbone. “Freakin’ hot!” Aira and Hailey high five and giggled when they saw me. "I guess it's way too short for me?" I opposed but they said it was fine and I looked gorgeous. Hailey was wearing a bloody red string strap dress and five inches high heels. She looked marvelous and my lips parted at how curvy her body was. Her hair was put into a bun and her makeup rocked with her dress. She looked fantastic like a pro. My suspicion g
Screaming Hearts I hate you Brent
“W...What are you talking about?” Hailey laughed awkwardly and drunk her wine. “We’re here to comfort Kelsie, not to intrigue me” she avoided the topic. Aira and I looked at each other and we both sighed, the same thoughts had been running through our mind. We knew Hailey will not talk unless she’s ready, by her looked she seemed aloof and silent about it. I joined them on the balcony and drunk a glass of different wine. The scene with Brent a while ago flashed vividly in my mind. His gunshot brown eyes and I could still feel how his anger gazed run down through my soul. Until we got back to the hotel I haven’t received any message from him. I restricted all my incoming calls and I didn’t have any idea whether he tried to call me or not. It hurts to know that he gave up suddenly on me. It showed that his love for me was shallow as it could be. My grip on my glass tightened as I stared at it while thinking about Brent. “I knew he made you that upset, Kelsie,”
Screaming Hearts I'm sorry but I can't accept these
I stayed inside of my apartment that night and I don’t have any idea what happened to Brent after I slammed the door. I hadn't sleep properly because my mind was thinking about him. I know I’ve hurt him last night but I'm more in pain than him. No Brent showed in front of me starting that night. It pained me but I believe it was best for both of us. In the last few days, I was thinking of not going to work anymore but I should hand over my resignation letter. On a Monday morning, I came to the office formally to resign from my work. I contemplated it a lot of times and I'm certain I could get another job sooner. My graduation will be tomorrow and I have a lot of time to look for a regular job before I proceed to enroll in Law. I heard the phone ring, "Kelsie speaking," I answered. It was Mia from the finance department who notified me that she's coming upstairs to get the documents she needed from Brent. “Hi, Kelsie,” I automatically smiled when
