"Your son is your inheritance," said a board to Daddy."He is smart and young. I hope he surpasses how I was when I was young," said Daddy.Since I started training here, nothing else has been done but left-and-right comparison and expectation. I never had my own image because they just expected me to be as good as Dad or even better.Well, that's life.I take care of everything early. I'm not late because Mama told me to. I follow all of Mama's instructions because Mama knows what Daddy likes and doesn't like.Mom used to be Dad's secretary. Daddy was already married and had a child when he and Mama met. It is said that Mama has no bad intentions; she just wants Dad's support during times when he can no longer bear what he is going through. Even though Mama didn't say what she was going through, she chose to empathize rather than investigate things."Sir Miguel, excuse me," said my secretary.I have my own secretary, I have my own office, and I also have my basic salary four times hi
He was noisy, had many cameras, and focused on everyone who got out of the car and entered the venue.This is so insane. GoshWe attend big gatherings of big people all over the world. They have nothing else to do but brag about what they have achieved in life and get rich."Dad, can I go early after the program?" I asked Daddy."Give this whole night to your father, Aira; don't scold yourself," Mommy answered grumpily.I just dreamed.I never really had a voice in this family. Everything I say is against them. I just kept quiet and sat at the table assigned to our family.Dad is next to my sister, then me, then Meriam. On the other side of dad are Kuya and Ken, and mom is opposite Daddy. From afar, you can see the smiles of my whole family. We look like a like a happy and content family. A family figure is everyone's dream."Compare!" a man says when he sees my dad."Nice to see you here. Where's Kumare?" My dad responded to this man.They just talked about business and went away so
Third-personThird-person POVPOVAt the end of their encounter in a large gathering, it left him with a big question.Ice looked for the question in his mind. He scratched about the Villanuevas,Villanuevas, and the person he loved other than his mothermother and the girl he saw the night before werewere really the same..He is undercover duringduring the investigation. He secretly found out everything,everything, but he didn't know that there was someone who knew about his plan.His fatherfather is there.

His fatherfather's eyes were focused only on him.him."I called you earlier;earlier; why only now?" asked his father.father."I just finished a lot before I diddid what you askedasked me to do next,next," answered Ice.Ice."I'm not going to do anything. I just want to say hello to my sonson with just us, like,like, do you have a girlfriend? or what do you think of Mr. James's son?son?" He made a long statement."That girl
I was surprised when he texted and wanted to meet."Why do you want to talk to us here?" I asked him."To be quiet," he answered simply."Maybe it's quiet at the bar," I told him sarcastically."You're still grumpy," he said.I just looked at him and sat in front of him.I poured wine into the glass in front of me."I thought you didn't care?" he asked.I didn't answer him and just sipped the wine I poured."So, you're rich?" he asked again."What now? Is that enough reason for you to leave me?" I asked boldly.I also have the strength to tell him because I've had enough wine."Why didn't you tell me? Do I really not know you, or am I just pretending to know you?" he asked sharply.He did not answer my question."Why you? You pretended to be poor to be accepted at my boutique for what?" I answered his question."Who said I'm rich?" he answered with raised eyebrows.Why are we two arguing? Why is it that if we talk, nothing comes together? Why is the answer to every question we ask eac
"Giiirl, what's wrong?" Raven shouted when she arrived at the office.I frowned because it was irritating for him to be talkative in front of me but very rude in front of other people."Where?" I asked him."Someone booked the VIP room last night, and they said you were in there, so who is he and what happened?" he asked with a raised eyebrow."Miguel," I answered simply."Whaaaat?" he shouted again.I sat him down and calmed him down because I was fed up with his petulance. I told him everything and how it happened. He almost couldn't believe that I did that, even though I didn't really know the reason why he left me. I didn't even think about it because he was sorry enough, and he said he still loves me."Waaaait. Is it really like that? After he left you and didn't say goodbye, you agreed just like that because he said he loved you but he couldn't stand up for you. What are you, Aira?" Raven lost"I love you," I answered simply."I don't know about your woman; you're weak when it c
"Why did you call us?" I asked Daddy."Your brother called you, not me," answered Dad.I sat at the table and saw that my brother was coming from the top of the mansion."What's wrong?" Ken asked."Oh, it's a miracle you're here, Aira," Meire said.He just arrived home."I'm getting married."We were all surprised by what my brother said, but not mommy and daddy."You know this, Dad?" Meire asked."Mommy?" he asked next.Daddy just smiled, and Ken clapped his hands and stood up."Congratulations, brother," he said."Congratulations, Jan," she greeted her sister."Congratulations, bro," said Miere."Congratulations, brother." I simply greeted him."It's early greetings, but thank you. That's why I called you because I'm about to propose; it's possible that he won't say yes. I want you all to be there, and I'll have an engagement party after," he explained broadly."What if he doesn't answer yes? Your party will be a waste," said my sister."I have a strong feeling that he will say yes
We were not surprised that Meriam came. We were surprised that she was with a man, especially me, because the man she was with was Miguel.There are so many questions running through my mind, like, 'Why are they together? Why didn't Miguel say goodbye to me? And doesn't Meriam know that Miguel has a girlfriend because if he gets close, you'll think he's a leech?"Your eyes are too obvious," Raven whispered.I blinked, then looked at the wine in front of me."Aren't you going to do something?" he asked."What do you want me to do? Get out of here? Fight them?" I answered him sarcastically."Why don't you message him?" He asked again."Do you think he has time to look at his cell phone and answer me?" I resisted again."What are you going to do? Just let him go," he inquired."As if I can do something here," he sighed and stood up."Where are you going?" was the last question I heard, and I walked away.From his smiles, it's obvious that he's enjoying himself. He's not like that with ot
As expected.As my brother requested, we all stayed here at the mansion. Even if they leave early, they return right before dinner.I just work from home; I send papers that need to be studied and papers that need to be signed; that's all I do. The store is monitored by CCTV, and I have a watchman there. I hired a CCTV operator to make us safer and more comfortable. My business is also growing, so I need more employees."Ms. Aira, lunch is ready downstairs. Your mommy is already there," our companion knocked on the door."Okay, I'll be there in a minute," I answered.I went down to the dining area, and that's right, mommy is here. I adjusted my seat and started eating."No one even called me for lunch? Why?" Meriam was defiant."We don't--"Just eat here; they don't know you're there; you're always like you're not there," Mommy interrupted."Tsk," he scolded. I even saw his eyes roll."How is your company, Aira? It looks like you are not working anymore; you are just locked in your r
