Ausha's POV
*RINGGGG Ringggg*
I was distracted by the constant sound of my cell phone, I didn't open my eyes because I was still sleepy, I felt the cell phone on the side of the bed.
*Ringgg Ringg—*
"Hmm?" I only answered with a grunt.
"Ausha? This is your Aunt Flora," she answered with a hint of satisfaction on the other line.
"Hello Aunt Flora, have you been summoned?" I asked sleepily.
"Looks like I'm bothering you hija?"
"It's not Auntie, I just woke up, what's that aunt?"
"Oh, I'm sorry for the trouble Sha, Paoli and I are here at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, we would like to pick you up if it's okay," Auntie said shyly on the other line.
Ahm... It's at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Shutang ina! Suddenly my sleeping soul came alive.
"A-At the airport Aunt? As in Ninoy Aquino International Airport?" I'm sure, maybe I misheard because of my sleepiness.
"Yes, can you pick us up here?" I smiled, because I haven't seen them in a while, I miss Paoli.
"Yes, Auntie, give me 15 minutes," I hurriedly said and started to act.
I hurriedly got off the bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. I went straight to the shower room and took all my clothes off.
"AHHHHH!" I was kept warm by the cold water that soaked my sleepy body. Shutang ina the cold water is waking up my sleepy body. But I don't care if the water is cold, because in my haste I forgot to bring my towel.
Stupid Shasha, of all the things you'll forget about the towel. Good thing there is an extra towel here in CR, I wrapped the towel around my whole body and went to the mirror here inside my CR.
I brushed my teeth and dried my wet, chocolate-colored hair that was already around my waist. I hurried out of the CR and went to the closet, I let the towel fall on the floor, to expose my naked body. I took underwear and put it on, then an XL t-shirt with Mine printed on it. I paired it with black jeans and sneakers.
When I was satisfied with my outfit, I combed my hair and put on a little perfume. And went to the bedside table to get the car key. I hurried down the stairs and quickly headed for the door.
"Hija? Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you eat first," Nanny Charlotte called my attention, who was watering the plants in front of our house.
"No, Nanny Charlotte, I'm in a hurry because I'm going to pick up Aunt Flora at the airport," I promised with a smile.
"Is that so, then be careful driving, hija?" her will.
"Yes, Nanny Charlotte, thank you."
I was 5 minutes late, because there was traffic on Edsa because many people were going to work and school, and there were many cars passing by. When I parked the car, I quickly went to Auntie's place, she texted me earlier.
My forehead furrowed when I saw Auntie in the distance, I sped up my pace even more. Why is Paoli not there? It was noticed that Auntie was not with her daughter, my niece on the mother's side.
"Aunt," I paid attention to aunt.
She immediately saw me and greeted me with a tight but quick hug, I noticed that her hands were shaking as well as her lips, her two pairs of black eyes were slightly red. "A-Auntie... Flora, are you alright? W-Where is Paoli?" I already have a guess, but I don't want to jump in my conclusion
"That's the p-problem, *sniff* hija... -P-Paoli is missing, *sniff* w-when... I called you to *sniff* pick us up," she promised raspingly.
I got nervous, these days there are many people taking children for a living, and I don't want my niece to be one of them. My throat went dry as I thought, no way, I won't allow that to happen to Paoli.
"H-How many minutes have you not seen Paoli aunt?" I asked nervously.
"G-Give it 30 minutes... already."
"Have you reported this yet, aunt?" just in case someone has found Paoli to bring back to us. She shook her head, I was more worried.
I told my aunt to go to the guard house and ask for help to find my nephew, while I will go to the airport in case Paoli is outside. When I didn't see her shadow, I entered the airport again, not paying attention to some foreigners who were looking at me.
What is their problem with me? I just ignored them and continued to search for my missing nephew. I just apologized to those I bumped into or ran into while running, but in my fear that something bad happened to my nephew, because I was running while looking around, I didn't. I accidentally bumped into a man.
Because of the force of my collision with him, I was sure I would kiss the floor of this airport, but that didn't happen. His movement became fast and he wrapped both arms around my waist and I automatically wrapped my two hands around his neck. Everything seemed to be in slow motion for me, from the moment he caught me and our eyes met.
I caught my breath for a moment when I saw his beauty. His damn jawline is perfectly arranged, his red lips that the redness is attractive as if encouraging me to kiss him, his American nose and his ocean blue pair of eyes. My heart beating fast to my body, I was closer to him that my knees were soft, as if I was drowning when he stared at me. At that moment, I forgot if I was actually looking for my nephew.
I quickly let go of her hug. "I-im... sorry. Mister," I hurriedly said and ran into the airport.
I've been walking around for almost half an hour but I haven't seen Paoli's shadow. I forgot to ask Auntie what Paoli is wearing, that's really stupid. My cell phone rang in my pocket, I looked at the caller. It's aunt Flora.
"Hello... Aunt, I still haven't seen Pao—"
"She's with me, Ausha. Someone saw her and brought her here to the guard house. Come here, thank you Hija, Paoli and I have been busy with you."
My breath becomes lighter than before, heavier every minute that I didn't find my nephew.
"That's okay aunty, I'm thankful that Paoli is already there, I'm on my way there." I headed to the guard house my aunt told me about. I was more relaxed when I saw that aunt was with the niece.
"Aunty! Paoli!" I happily greeted them with a hug.
"Thank you and we saw Paoli, wait... you said auntie that someone brought Paoli here to GH (Guard House) do you know her?"
"He's a he and his name is Brother Raven," said Paoli. Her eyes sparkled slightly.
"Brother Raven?" I will ask. As for who Raven is, we know he's really a kidnapper and he almost got caught so Paoli made the most of it, right? Who is Raven?
It was late when I got home, eleven o'clock at night. Aunt even went with me to shop for personal things. She and Paoli, we almost went for a walk, I didn't refuse what Paoli wanted, because she would be sad.
I can drop my tired body on my soft bed. I closed my eyes. I wanted to go to bed early because I had work tomorrow, but suddenly the image of the man I bumped into at the airport appeared.
His face that I can't forget, his Ocean blue pair of eyes, that make you drown when you look closely, it's like you're under the sea and it's so peaceful, even though his face is emotionless but the eyes say something else he.
He seemed to want to say something but he couldn't. His smell is really manly, his perfume not strong, that's right, that's why it's more addictive to smell it. I smiled. I want to see him again. I don't know but I'm attractive to him at first, even though it was the first time but he immediately had a different effect on me.
I shook my head. Why am I thinking about him? Who is he? What's the point? Erase erased that Shasha, I annoyed him to myself. I got up even though my legs hurt, I took a quick shower and lay down on the bed because I was so tired I didn't realize I had fallen asleep.
Tomorrow is Sunday and I asked Yanna to go to church at Quiapo church, after the mass she asked me to go to the mall not far from the church. The mall that Yanna and I went to is one of the most loved and famous malls in the Philippines, the 'EL TRINITY MALL.' I don't know why the name is that but it sounds good, in fact it is one of the most visited by consumers because of the cheap and beautiful products they have here. Everything you want to see is here.
"Sha."
That's why I sometimes go here when I have something important to buy.
"Ausha!"
Last Sunday we also went here, hung out for hours. At least it was better here, even air conditioned, because it is El Trinity Mall Mall. But suddenly the man with Ocean blue eyes appeared, and that Arlo, who is he?
"AUSHA BUENDIAS!"
"YES RAVEN!" I screamed in shock when Yanna shouted in my ear. I looked at him, he smiled and gave a peace sign.
"Sorry... it's you, eh, I've been calling you for a while and then you're just an idiot. What are you thinking?" she asked curiously.
I? Staring into nothing? Really, what's happening to me?
"And who is that 'RAVEN'? Admit it, Ausha?" she asked but there was a strange smirk on her lips.
"It's not there, don't pay attention to it, okay?" I said annoyed.
"Seems like what's wrong?" Yanna asked, confused looking outside. I also looked outside and frowned.
Even the staff of the Dress where Yanna and I were seemed anxious and in a hurry. What's up? Has an Artist arrived?
"Miss, what's wrong? Why is there a commotion outside? What's wrong?" asking questions I will ask.
"It's too much of a miss, because Mr. Blue is coming today!" she quivered.
Who the hell is Mr. Blue?
"Who is Mr. Blue?" I can't stop asking, especially Curiosity kills Us.
"Mr. Blue is the owner of this whole Mall." My jaw dropped when I saw Yanna still looking outside.
"Really?" Yanna asked the staff we were talking to.
"Yes, Mr. Blue's sudden visit... Sir is still strict. That's why we are always nervous when he visits because he doesn't like people who are sloppy at work and weak, he can fire us right away if he wants."
"Maybe Mr. Blue is old, bald and fat? That's why he is, isn't it?" I will ask.
That's not impossible, is it? Is that reality? The staff smiled sweetly, I looked at her name tag Miss Joy.
"Why Miss Joy? That's right, isn't it? We're not in the W*****d world to be the core of the handsome Mr. Blue and you say stupid, he's an old bald man." I said without hesitation.
"Eiiiiiiiii. I want to see Mr. Blue, he might be my future husband, hahaha!" Yanna promised madly. The girl assumed.
I have a boyfriend, I'm still flirting. Yanna waved me out of the dress store without hesitation. I almost cried because of the number of people outside the store. Is Mr. Blue famous? It's really different when you're rich, right?
"Yanna! What the hell? Let go of me like what are you doing there!" I suddenly took my hand over her.
"Asussssss, I didn't know you wanted to see that too, Mr. Blue, right?" he asked with a silly grin. It's really this woman, are there a lot of people? Too much!
"Tss. Take care of your life, I'll just go ahead and buy something, I'll come back to you at the Dress store Yanna, huh? Or just call me," I said quickly. And leave immediately.
I just noticed that the entrance to the dress store is far away on the 3rd floor and the entrance is on the first floor. I didn't notice, I was thinking of a very busy man with ocean blue eyes.
Why does that appear? Ts I'm still on the first floor, because the store I'm going to buy is here. I was close to the Book Store when I noticed many people running behind me, they were far away but approaching my direction.
What is there? I thought they were looking for Mr. Blue? What's the point? I just shook my head and started walking again. But unexpectedly, someone grabbed my hand. And I was taken through the crowded tunnels in each store.
"Yanna—" I covered my mouth. And not Yanna! Who the hell is he?
"Shhh can you please quite, Miss!" a cold male voice spoke. And he covered my mouth.
He is holding my right hand which is on the wall of the book store. He held it with his left hand, and his hand covered my mouth.
My God, I hope this papa Jesus is not a rapist. But my eyes widened when I realized who this man was. He's the guy I bumped into at the airport, he is. His handsome face has no emotion but it's still attractive, mamen. Many people passed by the store, running as if they were looking for someone who?
"Please Miss, don't make a noise," he said coldly. I nod out of my own accord, those are his drowning eyes, his stares that make my knees weak.
Why does this man have this effect on me? I'm crazy! He removed the covering from my mouth.
"Who the—" I didn't finish my question when he cut me off.
"I said silent," he said coldly, and he looked at the people running outside where we were hiding..
"Why the—"
"I'm warning you, don't make a noise Miss! Or you'll regret it later!" he promised firmly. And why should I follow him? Who does he think he is, right?
"Who—" This man pressed my lips without permission so I couldn't continue what I was going to say.
I felt like I was stoned in my position, I felt an electric voltage from his lips that flowed through me, which deepenedThe hairs on my body stood up. shit! His s***a kissed me? My first kissssss. A thief took it! He voluntarily let go and looked into the eyes, his ocean blue eyes made my knees weak, I swallowed.
My throat was dry for some unknown reason. "That's your punishment Miss. I already warned you, make a noise again and I will punish you that you never forgot," he threatened seriously. Instead of being afraid, I became more excited about whatever punishment that I never forgot.
My jelly! I'm with Yanna! My lips parted, still staring at him, he was scared, suddenly stealing a kiss.
"Breathe Miss. You'll die if you don't breathe," he whispered. I let out my breath, I had been holding it in for a while. But damn, he still kissed me forever! I'm not a virgin anymore!
My lips are no longer virgin! But it's not bad, at least my first kiss was handsome, right? Just before I noticed that he is in business, and he is more handsome to look at, he is tall too, his smell is match attractive. And his body is obviously muscular because the business suit he is wearing is close to him.
When there were no people running, he immediately turned his back on me. What? That's it? After he kisses me he will leave me! Unfair!
My mind is racing. "H-Hey... Mr! Thief!" I yelled at him in disgust. He stopped walking and turned to me, his two ears and cheeks slightly red.
What's the problem? Angry and wanting to hurt? Did he kiss me when he was still angry? His forehead was slightly wrinkled, but it did not diminish his handsomeness.
"I'm a thief?" He pointed to himself at the same time.
"I'm not stealing anything from you miss, Sorry I have to go," he said coldly and was about to turn away from me when I asked for his arm.
"You really are a thief, you stole my first kiss, you bastard!" I shouted at him and punched his chest.
WTS! It's hard. His chest. Didn't even back away from my punch, I was the one who got hurt. He grabbed both of my hands with his left hand. He only has one hand and my two hands? The size of his palm.
He smirked. "So what do you want me to do? Shall I return your first kiss Miss?" he said while looking at my lips.
I swallowed. "N-No... no, no no no... I-I can return what you're taking!" I stammered.
Shit, he has a killer look, it's drowning! And without permission he pressed my lips again, and this time his lips moved. The softness is shit. I couldn't fight because he was holding my hands. I don't know what's happening to me, I respond to his kisses. My heart was pounding so hard, it felt like I ran a long distance. He broke the kiss and looked at me. Both my cheeks get hot, Shutang ina. Why did I kiss him too? Stupid Shasha!
"Don't be angry to miss me, I returned your first kiss, don't you like it?" he asked, waking up.
My cheeks get redder. "Y-You... Pervert!" I screamed in annoyance and I pushed him with all my might and I w
as able to escape.
He chuckled. "Thank you for the compliment Miss. By the way, nice soft lips," he promised and left.
I was left dumbfounded and unable to believe what he said and did. He stole my second kiss too?
Thyro's POV I WAKE UP early, even if I still have a little hangover, I have to take care of my work that needs to be done, especially since I own and hold many businesses. After showering and getting dressed, I chose a black suit. When everything was in order and I had nothing left, I called Secretary Fhara. *Rngggg—* "Hello Sir." "What is my schedule for this Sunday?" I directly asked. Exit the room and go to the kitchen, to get coffee. "For Sunday Schedule...Sir 8 to 9am Madrigal Company 10 to 11am, El Trinity Mall 1 to 2pm Angel's Hope Orphanage and 3 to 7 pm, Desire Paradise, sir. That's your schedule for Sunday," Secretary Fhara politely promised , on the other line. I nodded. "Okay, thank you Secretary Fhara, please be prepared, you come with me," I ordered. "Yes Sir." I sip coffee, it's black coffee with less sugar, I prefer to prepare strong coffee because it makes me sleepy. I left the kitchen and went to the living room, and Hell they still can't leave, they're damn
Ausha's POV "AUSHA Buendias," Yanna shouted loudly, in my ear waking me up. "Y-You're the daughter of! What? Why are you yelling Yanna?" I asked her annoyed as I rubbed my ear deafened by the loudness of her scream. You can shout, right? If you don't get bored then it's really in my ear. "You're an idiot Yanna, who do I think Raven is?!" she asked curiously with a silly smile on her lips. "Who is Raven? Why would I think that I don't know?!" I promise I'm annoyed. "I know you, I'm just saying goodbye, it's because your mind is on another planet," she said and raised an eyebrow at me. "Leave it to you," I tormented her. "Oh, come on, let me go first, right? My BOYFRIEND is already waiting for me," Yanna said with a farewell smile, and stood up, emphasizing the word BOYFRIEND, as if she was making her face me. She has a boyfriend and I don't have one. She is Yanna Maria Cleofe, my best friend since we were kids. "Go away, maybe the village is impatient to wait for you," I said
Ausha's POV "W-WAIT just dad let me process what you said earlier," I promised and shook my head, it tingled a little but disappeared immediately, I turned back to Dad who was just staring at me. I swallowed and sighed. "Why do you want to marry me to Poncho Pilat—" I didn't finish what I was going to say when Dad immediately interrupted."He is named Ausha and his name is Lance Callen not Poncho Pilato," he said seriously. I sighed again and met his gaze. "Okay... so why do I need to be engaged to Mr. LANCE CALLEN?" I emphasized the name of that Poncho Pilato. "Our Company is going to bankruptcy, the bank central already gave me a papers that say if we can't pay tax they well got this Company so I have a friend in wealthy family, there have a Son I thought 4 years older than you. I asked help to them but their something condition." He stopped and stared at me. I know what the condition is, so my dad is not expecting that the condition is I need you to marry their Son? What a gre
Ausha's POV The surroundings are dark and the wind blowing cold touches my body, the pulse and nervousness that I feel goes along with the speed of my heartbeat. My heart beating so fast, I swallow my breath when I feel his hot breath in my nape. What if this is Lance? What if he's going to rape me? What should I do? What if—he almost kept me leaning against the cold wall of the mini house here in the garden. His right arm was wrapped around my waist and his left hand was covering my mouth. My hands are shaking and sweaty, I feel fear, many bad images come to my mind. I couldn't see his face because there wasn't much light in the garden except for the moon that gave a little light to the whole garden. "Shhh hush now Ausha," his soft voice gave shivers down to my body. That voice? It's familiar to me, who is this guy? And how the hell did he know my name? He removed the hand covering my mouth. I couldn't scream. I feel like swallowing my tongue. I feel his hot breath on my ri
Warning: Spg Thyro's POV SINCE the day we last met, I immersed myself in work, early in the morning after our meeting with investors at the company ended, when I got home, I went to the kitchen to make coffee, this has been my habit since then, even now I can't get rid of it. I've been here in the Philippines for two weeks and there's still a lot of work to be done at the company because there's a little problem from time to time. I'm going to buy coffee near my condo, there is a coffee shop. Wearing a white shirt, black pants and a gray jacket, I chose converse shoes. I only used a motorbike since it was also close to here, when I arrived I parked the motorbike in front of the coffee shop. "Good Morning Sir," the guard greeted me. "Good Morning Sir, what is your order?" asked a woman, I think she's in high school but already working? In today's difficult times, most young people are looking for work to help their families and their studies. "1 Black Coffee and chocolates cake
Warning: Spg Ausha's POV "LET ME GO!" I shouted orders to them. I'm still tied to the wooden chair. Yanna burst out laughing. This woman is really crazy, I'm going to strangle her if I get out of this pesky chair. "No no no, I told you the best, that's what you've been blessed with, next time you just come safely so that no kidnappings and ties happen," Yanna said with a smile. Wanna know how I got into this situation? The next day I went to the office, Yanna wasn't there when I got there, and I ignored her text about that bachelorette party. Just a few minutes later, he came after me, she smiled and kissed me on the cheek. "Good morning best," he greeted me with a smile. "Good morning too, are you happy? What's wrong?" I have a curious question, Yanna only says good morning to me every time she is in a good mood or something good happens to her. "Nothing, why?" he asked suddenly and caught a glimpse of our officemates. Something off here. Is Yanna hiding something from me? Ma
Ausha's POV ALMOST a Sunday has passed since that night but it stayed in my mind, I don't know, I'm confused. Even if I try to forget that something happened with me and Thyro, it won't go away from my mind. I must be crazy. Today is Monday, I didn't go to the office, I don't feel like going in, why should I leave? Why am I lazy? I sent in a gust of my emotions? But even so, I don't regret what came between us, let's just say it was a blessing in disguise. Thyro is better than Lance, right? That's a lot of people. I'm here now in my room meditating, I don't know I'm really lazy to act. Maybe I just need a break, a break from work. I'm exhausting myself too much at work. I decided to call Dad, he's not at home now, he's probably at work, I really admired my dad his a workaholic man, even though mommy's been dead for 23 years, he didn't replace her or find something fun in life, he took care of me and my two older brothers. I dialed my dad's number. *Ring—* "Hello Ausha my princess
Ausha's POV THE only thing I can hear right now is my heart beating loudly with... excitement. I don't know what happened to me? I should have pushed him away but this is making me a slave to his kisses that consume me, I am like a candle that gradually melts and runs out because of him. He gave me just one kiss and I immediately gave in, what happened to me? What is this man doing to me? To feel these strange things? The door of my mini hut is slightly open, he pushed me inside and slammed me on the door causing it to close. Our kisses were deeper and rough, I wrapped my hand on his nape to deepen the kisses. Shutang ina! I can't control myself, I want him so bad. My hand rooming his chest, he is wearing a beach TShirt that is plain sky blue, I immediately enter my hand on his Shirt to feel his hard chest, I feel his thing on my tummy slightly poking me. I pitch his nipples. "Damn! Shasha..." he cussed. I can't stop myself from smiling. He bit my tongue and I let out a moan in ple
