Chapter 19

Thyro's POV 

WHILE I was driving home to the Condo in Manila, I couldn't help but think back to the conversation my playboy cousin and I had. The sound of the cell phone woke me up, I immediately felt it and answered without looking to see who it was. 

"Who's this?" I asked annoyed and grabbed my head when it hurt. 

Damn, my head hurts a lot. 

"This is your cousin, Lance, can you take my wife first? There is an emergency meeting at the company and I need to be there right away. She is fast asleep. Is it okay for you to take her?" there was a hint of urgency in his voice on the other line. 

I was holding my cellphone very tightly. 

"Sure, it's up to me to tell him," I replied with my eyes still closed, I had a hangover because I drank too much last night and let out all my feelings. 

"Thanks cous, you can really be counted on, I have to go." He immediately hung up the other line. 

I smiled to myself, Damn this, thanks God because you made a way for me to catch the girl I want, I quickly got up and took a shower. I'm wearing blue long-sleeved and black pants with black shoes today. 

I was about to go down to go to my My Shasha when I saw her not far from where I was standing, she was wearing a pink off shoulder dress with flowers, her hair was a bit wavy and it was brown to her shoulders, she was looking around while walking, I couldn't help but stare at her, her beautiful complexion with a bit of whiteness, her soft skin, her beautiful face, her sharp nose and the perfect shape of her lips. 

A few strands of het hair moved with the wind, later he suddenly bumped into me, she looked up at my chest and our eyes met, her eyes rolled and she swallowed. 

When I saw her up close, I was shocked because she had a wound on her lower lip. 

Lance hurt her again? 

Damned! 

Even if he denied it a few times, I knew it was Lance's doing because my My Shasha is not stupid enough to hurt herself. It was not in my power to pull her to the parking lot. 

She was still surprised at first but she followed. We calmly drove to my condo. While we were on the way I asked if he had eaten or was she hungry but the second time he lied to me. 

I couldn't help but be annoyed with myself, why was I a coward and left her to my cousin four times? I couldn't get out of my mind that she was covering up for her Husband. If I had fought my feelings harder, I would now be her husband and not my cousin. 

I get annoyed and want to hurt other people when I see Ausha hurt or scared. I want to run over Lance so that I can have Ausha but that is against the law of the lord that it is forbidden to kill people. 

But fate is making a way to separate us both. I couldn't stop myself from kissing her inside the elevator, at that moment I wished that time would stop. I want to be with the girl who has been in my heart and mind for a long time, dammit. 

I'm always tempted to see her. 

I am always tempted to get her attention. 

I always watched her from afar, 

I was always tempted to be with her. 

I was always tempted to kiss her lips, smelling her addicted smell like a tulip. 

I am always tempted to own her, and make her mine Damn! 

I want her! I see my future with her, building a big family and being happy. I see her beautiful smile and laugh. But all of that is just my dream with her. I cooked her her favorite foods. I've known that for a long time because when we were kids, that's what Nanny Charlotte always cooked for us, especially for her. 

I even sculpted Nanny to show me how he cooks it. Nanny didn't hesitate to teach me, so I was very happy because I could cook her favorite. 

I know a lot about her because I haven't forgotten her, but he has forgotten me. 

But what reason? Am I quick to forget?

The next day I went to the office early because there was a lot of work. In the middle of what I was doing there was a knock on the door and Secretary Fhara came in with a folder. 

"Sir, this is the report you requested about Business in Tagaytay," she said and held out a black folder. 

According to this month, its income decreased by 15% and the number of people buying products, especially the toy products, I just rubbed my head. There is a problem that I will fix. I need to fix this problem, I need to go to Tagaytay. 

My attention was diverted when my cell phone rang, I would have ignored it but when I saw her name, I quickly picked it up and opened it. 

My Queen Ausha: Hello Thyro, I'm here in Tagaytay, Lance and I are going to live at the Hacienda. 

I smiled. Fate gave me more reason to see us and I now have a reason to go to Tagaytay, wait for me My Queen, I'm coming. 

Ausha's POV 

7:00 p.m. When we got to his house, he immediately started the car and got out, took the luggage and I also helped him, the maids also helped us, they said they put all the luggage in our room. 

An old woman came out of the kitchen wearing an apron based on her appearance in her early 50's and greeted Lance. 

"Oh? Did you come back, son?" she said kindly and with a big smile on her lips. 

It looked at me. "Who is she? Is she your wife?" She turned to me and smiled. 

"Yes Nanny, her name is Ausha and we will live here from now on," Lance said indifferently. 

Nanny's eyes suddenly lit up upon hearing this. 

"I'm fine with that, hello, I'm Fell, just call me Nanny Fell," Nanny Fell introduced me. 

"If that's the case, it's good because I'll see a different face every day, how about you eat, hijo, hija?" 

"There is no Nanny Fell yet," I answered shyly and politely. 

"In that case, let me prepare you something to eat, just right and a bit more than what I cooked today," she promised with a smile. 

She led us to the dining table, there were many other foods that I don't know the name of because it was new to my eyes. 

While we were eating, Nanny Fell asked me. "I just want to ask, Hija, how old are you, do you look young?" I just smiled because I saw Nanny Charlotte in her. 

"23 years old." 

"Why, this son Lance is only six years older than you," she said and turned to Lance who was indifferent to his surroundings. 

I looked at Lance and turned to Manang. "Really?" 

Even if it's just me now, I'm not interested in his age and especially in his life. 

"Yes hija, why didn't hijo tell you?" she asked in surprise, I didn't say a word. 

"Where's Kliara manang?" Lance asked. 

I frowned. Who is that? 

"Well, she is at her classmate's house, working on a project, she'll be back tomorrow, hijo," Nanny replied. 

Lance nodded. "I'm done Nanny, just go upstairs when you're done eating love," Lance said and suddenly kissed me on the lips. 

It was only for a moment but I held my breath, I didn't expect what he did so suddenly I was shocked. 

"Don't try to say something to Nanny or else I'll punish you hmm?" he whispered weakly and strongly to me. 

I looked at myself and tried to smile. 

"I'll understand." 

When Lance left I breathed a sigh of relief. I drank a glass of water because my throat was dry because of Lance. 

"Nanny Fell, who is Kliara?" 

Nanny smiled. "My grandchild." 

I nodded, wondering who it was. "Where are her parents? How old is she?" 

"My Granddaughter is 18, her parents died in a car accident when she was 5 years old," Nanny said sadly. 

Why am I inclined to ask? I swallowed. "I'm sorry," I apologized, manang just smiled. 

When they finished eating, I helped manang but she didn't want me to help, so I just went upstairs and arranged my things. 

There are 7 rooms here on the second floor of the house. I entered the rooms one by one and in the last room, just as I was about to open it, Lance opened and came out, his forehead frowning as if he was asking a question. 

"I'm looking for our room, because you didn't tell me where, is that it?" I specified the room. 

"Yes, just put your things in that empty cabinet, don't wait for me later, I'll have a lot to do," he said formally, looking straight at him. 

"Ah . . . ok thanks." 

I have arranged all my things, I can only thank him because he brought my suitcases here to our room, I will compare my room at home, it is wider and bigger, king size bed, the theme of his things is white and black, the bathroom is also big, it also has a sliding glass door, when I finished arranging my things, I took a shower and lay down on the bed and fell asleep right away. 

When I woke up the next morning, Lance wasn't by my side, didn't he sleep here last night? I just asked in my mind. 

I took a shower before going down it's 7:30 a.m. in the morning. I saw Nanny washing the dishes, and they finished eating. 

"Good Morning Nanny Fell," I greeted her with a smile. 

"Oh hija, it's a good morning for you, eat, do you want me to serve you?" present it. 

I shook my head. "Don't worry Fell, I can do it," I promised and took food and drink from the fridge. 

"Did Lance leave last night because he wasn't there when I woke up?" I asked while taking the dish. 

"It's not hija, he's in the office there sometimes, that kid lies there." 

I was curious about what my Nanny said, "Where is Lance's office?" 

"In front of the library hija, later I will teach you and I will also show you around so you know the ins and outs here." 

"Well, did Lance leave this morning?" 

"Yes hija, he said goodbye when he gets home tonight so don't wait for him," replied Nanny who was busy washing the dishes. 

I breathed a sigh of relief, I'd rather be without Lance here at home than he is here, I feel like I'm suffocating in his presence.

When a young woman entered the kitchen, I noticed that she was tall and quite thin. With pale skin and waist-length black hair, this must be Kliara who is Nanny's Granddaughter. 

"Ma, I'm here," she said weakly and gently. 

"Come here , there is your sister Ausha, Hijo Lance's wife," said Nanny and pointed at me. 

I smiled at her, she smiled back. "Good morning Sister Ausha." 

"Just call me Sister Sha, Ausha is too long." She just smiled and nodded in response. 

Kliara went with my meal, after I ate Kliara showed me around the whole house. The first thing he showed me was the library, I think there are thousands of books there, there are plenty of them, it's also a good place to hang out because it has a sliding glass door on the side of the garden so it's more open to look at, in front of the library is the It's called Lance's office, we entered Lance's office, his office is big with cabinets lined up and a big table in the middle of the room with a computer.

We are here today in the garden because the weather is also good today so we decided that you should rest there. 

I texted Thyro, letting him know where I was, while drinking juice I thought of something to ask. 

"Kliara can I ask a question?" 

She smiled. "Yes, Sister Shat, what is that?" she asked and continued to arrange the roses in her plant. 

Kliara thought of fixing the roses that were growing so I just accompanied her to the garden. It's also nice to sit here because it's windy and the flowers add beauty to the plants that are planted here. 

"Is this House Lance's?" 

"Yes, Sister, this is his, but it's a big Hacienda, all his friends and cousins built houses here." 

What I found out piqued my interest even more. 

"Really? This is a hacienda? Maybe this land is too large?" I asked in shock. 

She smiled. "Yes, Sister Sha, it actually belongs to Brother Lance's cousin, but when they were young, they couldn't be separated from each other, so they built houses here, I don't know what went through their minds, whenever You only come here for vacations or important occasions. That's the story that Ma fell told me." 

"Is that so? It's different when you're rich, who owns the Hacienda this Kliara?" I asked again. 

"It belongs to the Madrigals, in truth Sister Sha, the Madrigals are richer than the Callen family, but even so they are still friends, they don't argue about things because they already have everything." 

M-Madrigal? Couldn't he . . . be referring to Thyro Madrigal? 

"Is the Madrigal you're talking about . . . Thyro Madrigal?" I asked nervously. 

She turned to me and nodded. "Yes Sister Sha, it's Brother Raven." 

Suddenly, my heart beat faster when I heard that name again. It echoed in my ears. "Brother R-Raven?" 

"Yes. Brother Thyro Raven Madrigal." 

Yes. Brother Thyro Raven Madrigal. 

Yes. Brother Thyro Raven Madrigal. 

Yes. Brother Thyro Raven Madrigal. 

Yes. Brother Thyro Raven Madrigal. 

It was like cold water was poured on me, my brain could not process what I found out. I didn't think so, I used to think it was impossible but now it's true. 

Little by little my eyes W-Why do you have to hide this from Thyro? Why is he lying to me? 

Why did I ask him who Mr. Raven said he lied to Mr. Raven! Why does Thyro keep on l-Iying to m-me? I don't expect the p-person I like to lie, Thyro is hurting me by hiding the truth and he feeds me by his l-lies. Why are guys always h-hurting their girls anyway? 

I don't k-know if I should t-trust Thyro now.
