last update Last Updated: 2022-03-02 18:12:44

THE next day, I was startled by a series of knocks I heard outside my door that disturb me from sleeping peacefully. I could not help but feel annoyed because this was the second time that someone was disturbing my sleep. The first one was because of the old woman from yesterday then this happened again today.

Don't tell me that was Mrs. Cruz again… because by chance, I might not be able to control myself anymore and I would strangle her with the gold necklaces wrapped around her neck.

I feel like I'm deafened by that series of knocks that continuously can be heard in the background, so even though I don’t want to get up yet… I didn't hesitate to get up from where I was lying. If it is just the old woman from yesterday bothering me right now, I will let her taste her own medicine! I swear to God!

I didn't even bother to fix myself much and my messy hair from my sleep and then straightly went to the door. Without a word, I opened the door and at once showed who

    I bit my lower lip, taking a deep breath to compose myself before turning around to face him. He was barely a few feet away.“There’s nothing to talk about, Wayne,” I said as calmly as I could. “I just… had a little too much to drink. I need to rest.”His sharp gaze locked onto mine, scrutinizing me as if he were trying to read every thought running through my head. And before I could even remind myself that he was a lawyer—skilled at detecting lies—his next words shattered my attempt at deception.“You’re lying.”Panic surged through me, but I forced out a small, breathy laugh. “Just because I said I want to rest, I’m suddenly lying?”Wayne’s jaw clenched, his expression darkening. His eyes burned into me, and each deliberate step he took toward me sent my heart pounding.“You… are… lying to me.” His voice dripped with certainty, as if he had already unraveled the truth. My breath hitched as the space between us disappeared, leaving only a mere step between our bodies. “I know you, L

    As the song was coming to an end and I knew Wayne was making his way back to our table, I quickly excused myself from Alexander and headed toward the restroom. I barely acknowledged Alexander and Fritz when they offered to accompany me, simply turning away and walking off without a second thought.I moved absentmindedly through the sea of people, barely noticing the occasional bump against my shoulder. My mind was too clouded to care.But just as I was slipping further into my thoughts, a firm grip suddenly latched onto my arm, yanking me back to reality. Instinctively, I turned to see who it was, only to find myself locking eyes with him. His gaze was sharp, his brows furrowed in frustration."Where are you going? Didn't I tell you not to wander off?"I swallowed hard, my voice failing me for a moment. I wanted to tell him I was just heading to the restroom, but even I wasn’t sure where I was anymore—or where the restroom in this bar even was."Wait. Are you already drunk

    The days passed swiftly. It's Sunday now, and I'm just walking home. It's only five in the afternoon, so I decided to walk instead of taking a ride. I wanted to save my hard-earned money. I didn't want to spend the entirety of my week's salary so carelessly.This is my last paycheck from the restaurant, so I need to be frugal. I've already bid farewell to Ma'am Sammie. I felt a bit embarrassed because I didn't last long at my job, and Pio only recommended me, but I have no choice but to fulfill the promise I made to Wayne.It's just sad because I know deep down that I'm capable of my job. It's tiring, yes, but isn't every job demanding in its own way? I also felt bad about suddenly resigning and leaving my co-workers. I had become close to them, especially Yuki, whom I considered like a younger sibling.But, as I mentioned, there's nothing more I can do. I've said yes to Wayne. Here I am, following what he wants.Speaking of Wayne... the past days between us have been quite pleasant.

    "So, are you really saying that you delivered food to that kind of place?" Wayne exclaimed as I entered his house. Actually, I felt earlier that he was definitely going to bring up the topic, but he couldn't because we didn't go home together. I had to swing by the restaurant to return the motorbike, while he went back to retrieve his car, which he had left behind.As soon as I entered, he immediately asked me what I was doing in that place, and I simply answered his question. Now, I could clearly see the anger in his expression as he stared directly at me."Yes, because it's my job," I replied seriously. I didn't know what he was so angry about now, especially when he's the one with an issue between the two of us."You delivered food to a gambling den!" he repeated. "I knew it, your job isn't safe!" He even stood up from his seat on the sofa because of his frustration with me.My ears were ringing now, and my patience was running thin too. Like I said, he's the one with an issue, so

    My morning began with a surge of irritation as I woke up early, preparing for my day at the restaurant. I practically tossed the comb I was using onto my vanity table. The annoyance from last night still lingered within me. It wasn't because things didn't go as planned between Wayne and me, but rather, it was because I had come to realize who called him last night.No wonder that name seemed so familiar. I couldn't afford to be mistaken; she was the snobbish woman from the charity ball. She was the one accompanying Wayne on the night that became the reason why Wayne denied me."Argh! This is infuriating! If only I had known sooner that it was her... then maybe I would have found a way to stop Wayne from leaving last night," I muttered to myself.I sighed deeply and decided it was time to leave my room. I couldn't afford to be late for the restaurant, not with all this anger simmering inside me.As I descended the stairs, I automatically stopped in my tracks upon seeing Ya

    I got out of Wayne's car without looking back, clutching my sling bag tightly as he parked his car. I headed straight for the entrance of his house, not turning around. I could feel my heart pounding with every step. I wanted to turn around to confirm if he was following me or not, but I decided against it and chose to walk faster instead."I need to get to my room as soon as possible," I whispered to myself.As expected, Yaya Susan was nowhere to be seen when I entered the house. My nervousness intensified even more because of that.I hurriedly climbed the stairs, wishing I could take three steps at a time just to get to my room faster.I secretly smiled when I reached the front of my bedroom door. I didn't hesitate and immediately reached for the doorknob, about to twist it open. However, a hand suddenly rested on top of mine, as if helping me turn it. I didn't look back to see who it was, but I recognized him instantly from the scent of his perfume.I was about to pull
