SANCHO

Even up to this day, I still wake up having nightmares about that night… the night I lost almost everyone I loved. It doesn’t matter if I’m feeling okay or I’m feeling down. It just happens randomly, catching me off guard.

I would close my eyes, and I’d see how everyone looks at me like a kitten left at the side of the street to fend for itself. The people who worked and served my family are suddenly pitying me.

“Abuela! ” I called, and she did look at me. I didn’t understand. She was looking at me the same way.

I’ve never seen my grandmother cry, and suddenly, tears were nonstop falling from her eyes.

I was scared to ask, and people are feeling the same way. No one talked to me or even dared to explain what was happening. It wasn’t until I heard from the TV.

“President, Cabinet Official Son and Daughter-in-Law Killed in Plane Crash”

Abuelo’s, Mamá’s, and Papá’s photos were repeatedly shown on screen. Right next to a video clip of a plane flying in weird directions until it po

  • The Billionaire's Lost Affair   Chapter 14 - Smile for the Camera

    When I got back from the restroom, Vittoria was talking to someone using my phone. Talk about privacy. I couldn’t see myself being with someone like her, much more getting married.It was a momentary lapse on my part to consider that idea, even just for a moment. That mistake is now causing me distress because it’s all over the news and social media. They market it like some fairytale affair, editing photos of us together. Little do they know, aside from basic information that is publicly available, we know nothing else.I even have to put my phone on silent and hide notifications because of the congratulatory messages I receive here and there. I wouldn’t call myself famous, but a lot of people know me, usually because of my background. Now, I feel like everybody in the world knows me.I grabbed my phone away from her before she could complete her sentence.“Shit.” I cursed when I saw Clementine had just ended the call. I glared at Vittoria. “Why did you answer the call?”She rolled h

  • The Billionaire's Lost Affair   Chapter 13 - Perfection

    I woke up without him again. I already expected this. I went straight to the dining table, and as usual, he already had breakfast prepared for me. There were no notes; he wouldn’t send a text. We’re living under the same roof, and he won’t even talk to me. He has been avoiding me, and I couldn’t even blame him.This is good. It's honestly just a matter of time before we set strict boundaries. But I'm bored. I have nothing to do and nowhere to go in fear that someone from work or an audition will see me. I thought a few months could easily pass by, but boy, was I wrong.I was staring at the window, wondering how I should make my day productive. Yesterday, I tried to learn how to cook. I mean, I know how to cook some cheap dish purposely made for survival and not for enjoyment. So, I spent all day figuring out if the garlic shrimp was too sweet or not buttery enough, or if it was supposed to be spicy.“They said it's a simple dish,” I was muttering to myself. “Am I really this dumb? ”I

    ClementineIt feels weird. I am aware of everything that Teresa said and what she’s doing. The woman she was with earlier was apparently a lawyer. She explained everything in great detail, but I can’t seem to process anything that is happening.All I could hear was what she said earlier… about Sancho being engaged.“I will keep in touch, Clementine,” Teresa said, eyeing me closely.I couldn’t bring myself to look in her direction, scared that I might show the fear I am feeling deep inside.So, I nodded. I want her gone as soon as possible. Asking questions might make her stay. Having her stay might give her a chance to belittle me more. She didn’t have to say it directly, slap me in the face, or offer me a huge amount of money. She thinks I’m someone she can easily control.“You’ve been so quiet. I hope I didn’t shock you with the news. I don’t know if the engagement is something Sancho already shared with you.”“He—” I barely whispered. Freaking get a grip, Clementine. I cleared my t

    ClementineMaria Teresa Herrera. A name I admired so much and, at the same time, the person I never wished to meet. A beauty during her younger days, but aside from her looks, she was known more for her ambitions and just how ruthless she was to make it all a reality.Some people know her as the owner of one of the biggest financial firms in Spain. Most people recognized her as the ex-first lady of Spain. Both these titles don’t matter when I know she is Sancho’s grandmother and his only living family.I admired her in every way, but to be honest, I never wished to see her in person. And here she is, just on the opposite side of the door.With one subtle glance, the men accompanying her, whom I assumed were her bodyguards, moved back. On her left is a lady who I assume works for her. I guess by the way she stands strictly and securely clutches some files.“I know you are inside. Open the door, or I’ll have someone open it for me.”If she wants to, I know she’d be able to do it withou

  • The Billionaire's Lost Affair   Chapter 9 - Blurred Lines

    CLEMENTINEIt has been two days since Sancho’s flight. It would be hard to say out loud, and I don’t even want to admit it myself, but this place doesn’t feel the same without him. I was wrong to think that I wouldn’t miss him as much because we don’t see each other a lot anyway. He’s constantly busy with work, and I only see him at night, briefly.The conversation we share is meaningful but short. We have learned to respect each other’s spaces and learned to find comfort in silence together. I felt seen anyway because he would always look my way just to make sure I’m okay.Alone is okay. Alone is comfortable. I’ve been by myself almost all my life, and I should still feel the same, except I don’t.“I've let myself become dependent,” I muttered to myself, only to realize I was talking to myself. “To Sancho of all people.” I closed my eyes, letting that sink in. “This is bad.”For the lack of better things to do and trying to avoid thinking too much about Sancho that might end up with
