MasukMy phone rang. I was already in our front door. “Hello, Janna?” I said. I called her a while ago, asking for help to find the hospital where they brought Arzhel, and for her to monitor Adrian’s situation. “I already found Mr. Arzhel’s hospital,” she started. “He’s in the same hospital as Mr. Adr
I sat on my bed as I tried to calm myself. I inhaled and released a deep breath. “I’m going crazy,” I said and rubbed my face using my two palms. I stood and went to the kids. I checked on them in their rooms. When I arrived, they were both sleeping peacefully in their own designated beds. I w
I touched Arzhel’s shoulder. I saw him glance at my hand. Adrian was speechless upon hearing Arzhel’s tone. He didn’t provoke him further. Instead, he took the wine and started to pour Arzhel’s wine. “I’m sorry,” Adrian said while pouring. Arzhel released a deep breath, and since my hand was on
The wine arrived. I tasted it. It tasted bitter and I could even taste the alcohol in it. So I didn’t drink much. I let the two men have it. They were now talking about business. It made me happy listening to and watching them because they now looked too comfortable with each other. So far, my w
“How’s your day, princess?” Arzhel asked Arriana beside her the moment we sat. We were in a round table. The seating arrangement was me, Arzhel, Arriana, Chris, and Adrian. “It was fun, Daddy! All my classmates missed me,” Arriana happily told him. “That’s good,” Arzhel said, flashing a quick sm
Before leaving the meeting room, I composed myself first. I was looking at my mini mirror, wiping my scattered lipstick. I heard Arzhel laugh beside me. I jokingly glared at him, which only made him laugh more. “You should invest in kiss-proof lipstick,” he said. “I might kiss you often,” he sai
Lorenzo prepared a buffet for us for lunch, so we went to the hotel restaurant to have lunch together. I looked for my table. I mentally rolled my eyes when I saw mine next to Arzhel. Luckily it was only our first names, or else they would put Theron as my last name. That would be embarrassing.
“I should have let myself cry and yearn more before, instead of distracting myself,” I whispered and sighed. If I did that, maybe my heart would automatically get tired and give up loving him. I stood up and went to Arriana’s room. I saw her still sleeping peacefully. It was Sunday so she didn’t h
I couldn’t think of any reason. I was not yet allowed to tell him the truth. I needed to give him the same reason I told him before. “He is my friend,” I said. Arzhel pressed his lips, then released a deep breath. He looked at me. His eyes were full of warning. “I will give you one last chance,
I slept in the visitor's bed in Arzhel’s hospital room. When I woke up, I heard Arzhel’s voice and another man’s voice. “I’m sorry, Mr. Arzhel, but we can’t discharge you yet.” I looked at them. It was the doctor. “Yes, you can. I’ll get a doctor to monitor me at home,” Arzhel said. There was aut
