We head towards a shop for male clothes. Rose and I look around at the displayed items then we look at both Zyrem and Clide.
“What are we doing here?” asks Rose.
“We need to buy these two some normal and warm clothes. It’s cold in my province. Oh! Rose, you should also bring some warm clothes.” I said as we walk towards the displays to look into the displays of men’s clothes.
“Milady, it is okay there’s no need to buy us some clothes.” Zyrem said as Clide nods in approval to what he said.
“Hmnn what did I say about calling us Milady in here? And, no worries… here you go boys. Try these and also this.” I said as I shove the clothes I choose into their arms as I push them to the dressing room.
Rose is left looking into the pile of men’s jackets and t-shirts.
“Come
“Stay here I’ll call them out so we can go.” Rose said as I nod and sigh.I wait there still thinking about what Rose and I plan to do at the reception of my brother’s wedding after the ceremony. It will be exposing for me but I have to do it since this is the only first time a wedding in our family is as grand as Rafael and Susanah, not even my sister Arsey got married wearing wedding gowns and such, they got married traditionally with their normal clothes. I am surprised when I heard a camera shutter. I look up to see Rose taking a photo of me.“What’s that for?” I ask suspiciously at her as she looks at her cellphone.“For my photo album, I’ll go and call the others.” Rose said as she smiles and turns towards my uncle’s house.I sigh as I stand there feeling so nervous and cold with this off-shouldered gown then I hear
“Hello, who is this?” I said as I see Clide and Zyrem coming out of the house and walks towards me.I just sigh when they walk towards me and stand beside me with their usual butler gestures. I just shake my head still can’t wrap in my thought that I have some butlers that are as handsome as them and that I am an heiress of a rich family… when all my childhood that I spent in here I have to do everything just to survive like working in the farm, doing house chores, carrying heavy things like drinking water that we need to fetch in a stream a little far from the house, and studying so hard just to find a much better job than staying here forever. Then now…… I still feel like I am just dreaming of everything. My simple, hard and boring life had changed completely in just a snap of a finger. It is just like a fairytale story but then…… for me it is like it is turning into a horror tale. 
As we slowly walk towards the crowd of the people who will walk into the church I can hear people talking, I see some of my cousins as Anna and other relatives looking our way with that certain weird look on their faces.“Anna, can we take a picture?” Pam my cousin said and I smile at her.Pam came to my side and wraps her arms over my shoulders as her sister Mabell positioned to take our picture. Pam smiles at me and wave before she left and walks inside the church followed by her sister.“Come on Anna we should get ready.” my partner Allan who is also my cousin said as I just nod and sigh.I take off Clide’s trench coat that I am wearing and my black sling purse. I hand it to Zyrem who returned again when I called to him before my mama could guide them inside the church with Rose. I hand it as I watch him walk into the church with the others. I rub my gow
“This house has rules, if you can obey the rules you can stay and if not… just leave.” I said still looking directly at Henry with my annoyed and frustrated gaze before I turn to look at my laptop screen.I can feel that silence as I stare at my empty monitor with only the word Project Proposal is written. I know I need more help but from Henry…… it might be impossible when I feel this certain annoyance and anger to him and his so-called fling, I don’t even know why I feel like this towards them but who cares right. I know Rose brought him here to help me but I am just so tired and stress out with this and then seeing him… I might just end up pouring my annoyance and anger on him even if he is not doing anything.“Okay, lay them all down.” Rose said as she smirks seeing my mischievous grin while looking at Henry.“Hmnn are you sure you can real
“Henry I need your help with doing the written report. I hate reports especially writing them.” I said making Rose laughs as Henry just nod.“Zyrem, Clide we will need a wider space since we will be having some people over to help so kindly clear-up the area. I hope they can make it without letting anyone know that they are coming here. Rose and I will be going out for a while so you will have the space to do what I asked. I will appreciate it so much.” I said directly as I take off my t-shirt automatically making the 3 men turn with red faces.Rose just laughs as I change my clothes. It’s late when I realize that I am not alone in the boarding house like before that is why I suddenly take off my t-shirt. I just acted casually since I don’t want them to see that I was embarrassed about what I did. Luckily when I take off my t-shirt I am wearing a thin pink top. I sigh and walk towards my room
“There she is catch her, stupid idiots!” I heard a man’s shout and I look back to see those 4 men running after me.I run and run in a direction I don’t know all I care about is to get away from them for a little while so I can think of what to do. When I am tired I hide on a big tree as I peek to see that the 4 men running after me are looking around to look for me.“Go there and I’ll go here. Catch her or I’ll catch your heads!” the angry man said as 2 runs to the other side and 2 to the opposite side.I am breathing heavily when a man suddenly grabs me from behind. I tried so hard to struggle but since I am so tired, disoriented, and still can’t think straight not to mention that his arm around my waist is so hard I am unable to resist.“Gotcha kitty, where do you think you’re going? Don’t worry, daddy Ben will t
“You are dress differently but please everyone. Let us see what my granddaughter can present to us. Zam, you may proceed.” my grandfather said with authority making the whole room silent.With the authority and conviction, my grandfather said so it is understandable why everyone feels so threatened by his words. I had noticed that just by staying by his side. He is like a tamed lion that just suddenly become vicious in seconds. I nod and look at Mera who walks towards me. Mera is so sophisticated now with her business attire with her hair twists in a bond in her head and her blue skirt and black stiletto heels. On the other hand, I am just wearing a long sleeve pink with off-shoulder cleavage, skinny jeans, and D'Arcy shoes with my hairs hanging on my back. I heard a gasp on the last aisle.“Mera!” a gasp and soft voice of a woman utters in surprise upon seeing Mera.I look at my fri
I am awakened by voices – an angry voice I must add. I see myself lying on a white bed with a white surrounding. Some machines are attacked my body and I see this IC catheter connected to my wrist. I feel too weak and I can smell that foul scent of medicines hospitals emit.“Torture those men and get them to talk! Who dared do this to my granddaughter? I can’t let this slide after just finding her.” I can hear grandpa’s angry voice from behind the closed door of the room I am in.I take off the oxygen mask in my mouth and slowly sit in the bed. I look around the place trying to regain my strength.“Calm down father, your heart.” The soft soothing voice of my mom calms my grandpa who sounded so furious.They went silent for a minute and I heard some footsteps.“Victorio my friend how is she?” I heard Mr. Lind&rsqu
