"Thanks for the invitation, Mr. Luxerio!” Ellara said smiling. “I've been wanting to go to the beach! I'm glad you asked me." She caressed Apollo's arm at the same time."It's nothing, and we're just a little bit more," Apollo replied.Melody's eyes narrowed as she watched the two talking from a distance. She wondered why this woman was with him. Is this what he is talking about bonding with children? She seemed to want to not come, but that was not possible because her children were with her. If she withdraws, they will surely be sad too.Their things are currently arranged and the children are also in the van. They haven't left yet because they're waiting for this VIP girl, as well as her so-called friend. Yassh and Yvonne will not be able to join, because they are in Singapore with Matthew. There was something she didn't know about those two friends of hers."The face looks like a Barbie, but the movements are like a snake." She said in a low voice."You're right about that, girl.
• SMITH'S COMPANY BUILDINGMelody hurried as she walked towards her dad's office. Almost all the departments she passed by had their staff putting away their supplies. She did not understand what was happening or whether her dad knew about it."Dad, what happened?" She asked openly with a mixture of concern.Her breath was still catching, and when she saw her dad, his shoulders slumped, and he seemed to be thinking deeply. Her father looked at her for a moment and looked away before facing the table again.“I don't know what happened. The company is going down, child. I don't know how we can get up. All the investors and board of directors have left.” He was in tears while explaining. "The company is already deep in debt." Then he shook his head.“How did it fall? Why did I just find out now? I thought everything was fine here." She asked in disbelief.She always turned down her dad's wish to lead their company because she didn't think she was ready to lead. She is afraid to make a de
She decided to leave their company because of the shame she felt. She went to Yassh. She met her in college. Yassh is a good friend of hers and a noble person, even if her current job is not good.She found out that she worked as a hostess at an auction night when she and Melvon were invited to an event, and there was currently an auction going on. Since then, they have become good friends. She wanted to help her then, but she didn't want to leave the usual job for reasons of her own."Are you sure about this, Melody?" Yassh asked worriedly. "This is not an easy job, and I know you know that."“I can't think of any other way. The money I need is no joke, and I know you also know where I can get such a large amount.”Yassh sighed. "If you are really determined, you can fill out this form for your information." Yassh handed her a paper. "You know this auction is super strict, and Madam Eve doesn't want sloppy staff. That's why I talked to Madam Eve, to give you a chance tonight."Melody
After paying her, two men in black escorted her to a black limousine. She was taken to a luxurious hotel in the country. She couldn't stop being scared and crying.An old man with a fat belly bought her. She couldn't refuse anymore especially since she was already paid and she needed the money."Just wait for Mr. Buenavista. He left it to you to take a bath first." said one of its staff.She nodded. “Alright, thanks.”When she entered the hotel room, she immediately sat on the bed and cried."It's just one night, isn't it? After that I will free my father and we will start again." She said between sobs.She got up and went to the shower room. When she got out, she just kept on wearing a bathrobe. She turned off the light because she didn't want to see what would happen while that old man claimed her. She left only the lamp shade open. Her knees trembled as she returned to the bed and sat there.A few moments later she heard the lock on the door— its opening and closing of it. This was
• Five Years LaterMelody's Point of View."Mommy! Brother Lexus, break my toy!”"No, Mom! He broke my book first!”I immediately looked at my twin children. I put down the ladle and turned off the gas stove. I quickly went to the living room and caught up with the two looking at each other."What happened? Why are you two fighting again?” I asked, then felt my senses."He broke my new toy, Mommy!" Liven said it as if he could cry.Lexus fixed the glasses. "He broke my book, Mom!"I held my breath. Seriously, I can't stand the stubbornness of these two. I stepped between them and held out my hand. They immediately put down their broken things.Well, they know the drill."Brother Lexus, why did you break Liven's toy?"I'm looking at Lexus now."Because he broke my book, Mom."I looked at Liven."Liven, why did you break Kuya Lexus's toy?"Liven couldn't speak and just bowed."Because I didn't make his toy. He makes me, Mommy, fix the Rubik's cube he's playing with—but I'm busy reading
The day of the week arrives, and the twins are happy about the celebration that will take place in an expensive restaurant. They even managed to surprise him this morning. As she grew older, she couldn't help but be afraid that one day she would wake up without the twins or that she would be the one to lose.But she won't let that happen."Is Tito Alejandro there yet?" asked Yassh.They were riding in the same van, so Marco and Yvonne were also there. She also became friends with Marco, and that was not affected when he and Yassh broke up."Yes, he is already there, but he will only be there for a while because he has to go somewhere else. After we're here at the restaurant, I also have to go back to the office; I'm still finishing up some work. Manang Gina will take care of the twins," replied Melody.When they arrived at the restaurant, they immediately went to the reserved VIP room, and the children were very happy because their favorite cartoon characters dressed as mascots were a
Apollo's Point Of View.Apollo had just arrived at his own office. His head was already hot because of the materials that did not arrive on the exact date that was discussed. He hates something like this! You're just being sloppy and making him wait."Mr. Luxerio, do you want some coffee?” asked his secretary, Esme.It is still obvious that he is not in a good mood. Esme knows that when their president has a temper, he often fires employees."Yes, please, and hurry up," he responded gently but without emotion.When his secretary came out of his office, he loosened his necktie. He couldn't help but throw or destroy things, so he stood up and threw a flower. He got so annoyed that he threw it and broke it. At the same time, Epifanio entered."What the fvck, Dude?" Epi looked surprised, then put the envelope he was holding on the table."Oh, please, Epi. I hope you bring good news, because all I've been hearing today is bad news, which I no longer wish to hear. So if that's not good news,
Mr. Smith has just arrived at a restaurant, in the place where Apollo wants to talk to him. Suddenly, his secretary called, and he couldn't refuse the request, especially since he said it was an emergency meeting."I'm not going to go far anymore. I want to take down the contract with you, Mr. Smith. My lawyer will talk to you for the compensation," Apollo suddenly said.Mr. Smith immediately looked up to Apollo, and he stopped drinking water. The old man's face showed shock and fear. And Apollo couldn't stop grinning. He knows very well that his existence and money are in the company of Mr. Smith."But why, Mr. Apollo? What happened? I thought we understood each other already?” he asked wonderingly and as if in disbelief."Because I found out about the past of your company. You are the one who was involved in the robbery of your own company.""But that's five years ago. And I had nothing to do with the robbery. They framed me! ”"And I also learned that you have a daughter."Man to m
