After eating his dinner alone, Percy immediately went to sleep. He does not want to be late for work tomorrow because he still has a meeting with the company's board members. Also, he does not want to stay awake knowing that Ramina has been dominating his thoughts ever since that day in the mall happened. Maybe because of tiredness, Percy immediately dozed off to sleep.Morning came and it was the 21st birthday of the heir of Mattheios Company, the only son of the late Mikhael James Mattheios, and Katarina Jade Mattheios. Percy was not pleased at all. He does not want to manage their company, he was forced. But he also could not disappoint his dead father, even though he was gone, Percy still wanted to impress him. And so, he showed up at the proclamation event at the company. Katarina, Percy's mother, noticed the unpleasant look on her son's face while the event was ongoing. She knew that he never wanted it, she knew that he was ready but is not up for it. Katarina has been hard o
"Mattheios! Wait for me!" Percy just shook his head as he walked faster toward the parking lot. He got his keys and immediately opened the door of his car before hopping in the driver's seat. A moment after, Ezekiel entered and sat on the shotgun seat, panting. "Were you trying to tire me? Gosh, I'm sweating buckets." Ezekiel wiped his forehead. Percy just shook his head and started the engine. He drove so fast that Ezekiel prayed for his life secretly while holding onto his seatbelt like an idiot. "B-Bro, I don't want to end my life tragically so please, drive— the fuck!" Ezekiel almost lost his spirit when Percy overtake his car and almost crashed the other car beside them. A moment later, Ezekiel breathed equally when they reached The Ram's. "Dude, were you trying to kill us? That almost lost my consciousness!" Ezekiel complained after going out of the car. "I really hope I was dead," Percy coldly uttered and slammed the door before going inside the bar. Since the bar was new
"Ramina!" Ramina's gaze darted to the woman who just entered the room. It was Nicole. She's wearing scrubs so Ramina concluded that she got off from duty as a nurse. Ramina plastered a sweet smile on her face as she stood up to welcome her friend with a hug. "It's nice to see you here . . ." she whispered. "I missed you! We did not see each other for weeks!" Ramina chuckled and let go of the hug. "I know right. We were so busy, that's why."Nicole pouted. "I just left the hospital. I didn't have the time to change my clothes and just went straight here. The security guards were nice, they let me in when I told them that I am here for you!" she beamed. Ramina chuckled. "Really?" Nicole nodded. "Yep.""Why are you here anyway? Did something happen?" Nicole plastered a wide smile on her face. They both went to the sofa near them and sat there so they can talk well. "Okay, so this is what happened. My ex-boyfriend went to the hospital yesterday and seek for me. When he saw me, he
"Mommy . . ." Ramina chuckled while watching her daughter struggle to wear her shoe. They will go to a family reunion. Ramina and her family's reunion after so many years. This will be the first time that Prescelle could get to see her relatives.Ramina went down to her knees and helped her daughter with her pink shoes. "Are you excited, baby?" she asks. Prescelle pouted. "I'm excited and . . . nervous, mommy. What if they won't like me?" Her tone suddenly changed. Ramina secretly gasped. "Baby . . ." She looked at Prescelle's eyes. "They won't, okay? They're your family. And family won't hate each other. They should love each other. Do you understand, mommy?" Ramina softly said while caressing Prescelle's face. Prescelle innocently looked at her. "Then why is it that my classmate does not love her father? She said that she hates him so much because he left them. Should I feel the same way to my father, mommy?" Ramina's eyes widened. "B-Baby, no . . . You should not hate your fat
Ramina rang the doorbell three times before a young lady came to open the gate, probably their new maid."Good morning, ma'am! Please, get inside."Ramina smiled at the maid. She was unfamiliar with her. When the lady noticed the curiosity on Ramina's face. She smiled and bowed her head a little. "I am Mary. I am serving your family for two years already, ma'am," she said. Ramina's mouth formed an 'o'. She held Prescelle's shoulders and looked at Mary. "This is my daughter, Prescelle." Prescelle on the other hand looked up and cutely waved her hands. "Hi!" she says. Mary smiled at her. "Hi, pretty girl!" she greeted back, equaling her energy. She stepped aside and motioned her hand for them to come in. Ramina took a last glance at the full view of the mansion before entering the gate, beside her is Prescelle. "Ma'am—""Call me Ramina. For sure, you and I are just in the same age . . ." Ramina gently says. Mary was taken aback. She doesn't expect that to hear. Ramina's attitude
"Is everyone here already?" Everyone gathered their attention to Roma when she stood up. Their other relatives just came by themselves. "I guess, we're all here already. Feel free to roam around the house, the maids already prepared the food too. It's in the pool area." "Yay! Pool!" The kids started to chant and hop in joy. Roma just laughed after seeing everyone getting excited. She always wanted to witness this special moment. For sure, it will be the most important memory in her life that won't be forgotten. "Ramina! Let's got to the pool, shall we?"Ramina diverted her attention to Vina. Everyone is busy chitchatting with each other, creating a loud noise all over the living room. "Mommy . . ." Ramina looked at her daughter. "Yes, baby?" Prescelle pouted. "I wanna play . . ." Right, when Prescelle said that, her cousins— Ruby, Lou, and Irelia came. The kids are pushing each other so cutely, probably hesitant about who should approach Prescelle. "U-Uhm . . . Hi? Do you wan
"Where have you been?" Ramina asked Vina when she saw her arrive at the pool. Vina let out a wide smile. "Oh, I just went to my room to change my clothes." She laughed. Ramina smiled and surveyed her outfit. "That bikini looked beautiful on you, Vina," she said. "I still have a new pair of bikinis in my room. Do you want to change?" Vina asks. Ramina shook her head. "Nah, I'm good. I need to watch after Prescelle," she said. Vina nodded. "Okay, okay. I will go there and talk to our relatives for a while. Are you sure, you're okay here?" Ramina nodded. "Yes." When Vina left, Ramina looked out for her daughter. Prescelle was on the side of the pool, carrying a beach ball while being chased by other kids. Ramina's eyes widened. She might slip because of the wet floor! "Prescelle, slow down!" Ramina shouted before walking their distance. "Mommy!" Ramina almost had a heart attack. Prescelle nearly slipped! Good thing she caught her immediately. "Oh, God. Baby, please slow down
When Ramina came home that night, she received a message from Percy saying that she should get back to work by tomorrow. Because of that, Ramina fell asleep with an anxious thinking that something bad might had happen while she was gone. Ramina woke up the next morning and immediately dressed up for work. While she was having her breakfast, she called Vina to talk to her daughter. It only rings for a few before Vina answered. "[Whoever you are. . .fuck you.]" She said in a sleepy voice. Ramina winced and chuckled. "Good morning, my dear sister." She heard her gasped. "[Oh, damn. Ramina, is this you?!]" Ramina chuckled because her voice suddenly changed in a panic tone. "[God, I didn't know! I'm sorry!]" Ramina laughed in response. "I was just gonna ask you if Prescelle's already awake." "[Oh. . .She's still asleep. What time will you fetch her?]" "After work." "[Okay, I will tell her that you called. Are you leaving for work already?]" "Yeah. I'm still eating breakfast." "[
