Vengeance of Lucille 10
Ales and I had finished a week of preparation and today was the day I was going to see Judie. He texted me the address, and I did not bother to respond to his text messages, so he called me that night, nagging about why I didn’t text back. I just told him I am busy, but I received his text and will go there today. Furious because I just didn’t really reply.When I got to the front of the enormous building, I adjusted my clothes. I took a deep breath and entered. I approached the information desk. “Good day, I have an appointment with Mr. Judiel Marco Sanrazo,” I said and smiled at him.He looked at me from head to toe, as if recognizing me. “You must be Lucille Santos he mentioned?” he asked, and I nodded with a smile. “This way, Ma’am.” He pointed the right way toward the elevator.“Thank you, I can do this.” I refused him because I thought he was going to take me to Judiel’s office. He nodded and bid a goodbye.I’m the only one in the elevator, even though the elevator is big. I won

After he adjusted my clothes, I also sat up and kept quiet. So is he. To this day, I still haven’t lost the nervousness in my chest and other feelings in myself. Why is that?“In any minute, we will be there,” he said. I just nodded to him.I remembered that I didn’t have anything with me except my cellphone. “I’ll just send you to the staff there to buy your clothes. We will get back to the Philippines after two days,” he continued. So I immediately turned to him.“Two days? Can I call my family because they might wonder why I didn’t come home today?” I asked. He looked at me with a severe face.“Of course, you can call them. Do you want me to be the one who will talk to your family?” I immediately shook twice. Of course not! Maybe Lucky can answer, and what else will he think?“I can handle it, Sir. It seems like you are kidnapping me, but of course, this is part of my job as your secretary.” I smiled at him at that.“For the record, Ms. Santos. I didn’t kidnap you, okay?” he said.

When Lucille ended the call, Alessandra frowned because of what Lucille said. In her mind, how come Judiel brings her to Japan? Alessandra is just twenty-two years old, while Lucille is twenty-seven. When Attorney Chu introduced Alessandra to Lucile to be her secretary, Lucille immediately accepted the offer because she knew that Ales and the Attorney would be helpful to her. Alessandra is dedicated to her job as secretary of Lucille since Alessandra only has Lucille and Attorney Chu. She’s been an orphan for twenty-two years; Attorney Chu adopted her. Lucille helped her have a stable life. She knew Lucille’s secret, and she promised herself that she wouldn’t betray Lucille. She went out to the office after everything she did. She has been who’s Lucille trusted for years. Every employee in Lucille’s company respected her, just like how they respected Lucille. “Ms. Ales, the one you requested me will send to you tomorrow morning.” A woman approached her. She nodded and smiled before

We both fell silent while eating. I think I lost myself when Judiel brought up that topic."Look ..." I looked at him when he talked, "I'm sorry. I don't know.""It's all right, sir. Nobody is aware of it, and it's the first time someone has questioned about my family." He was taken aback by what I said. It seemed strange that he was the first to ask about my parents in front of me.He asked, "Really?" and I nodded.I never answered questions about my family since I didn't know what to say. I was simply a kid who had no idea what was going on, and Mom was my sole running companion. My classmates used to taunt me because Lucky and I only had a helper at a public school, so we began to think of her as our mother, so they wouldn't tease us. I was terrified of going back in time. In my dream, what happened then repeated again and again."I don't like it when people inquire about my personal life, but if you insist, Sir. I'll address a few of your questions..." What I stated drew a grimace

As we tiptoed down the hallway to our room, I stopped for a moment and rubbed my forehead when I remembered I had told him we were only in one room. I couldn't understand myself anymore. I planned to get closer to him, but it suddenly changed when he kissed me earlier.I immediately approached him when he was about to open my room. "Sir, wait a minute." He stopped when I called him. He looked at me curiously."Why?" he asked. I looked at the key he was holding in my room. "Oh, don't worry. I won't sleep here. I will stay in my room." I bit my lower lip. Did he feel like I suddenly didn't want to? "Here you go, good night. Wear presents tomorrow," he added. I just nodded and entered my room first."Good night," he said in a low voice. I did not respond to him. I just let him close the door.I closed my eyes and shouted because I was annoyed with myself. "This is what you want, Lucille. What the hell is happening to you?" I mumbled to myself because, honestly, I felt weird.I just picke

When the two of us got inside the elevator, it was just the two of us until I saw out of the corner of my eye he leaned over me, but I ignored him. Fortunately, others were entering, so it separated me from him because someone broke in between the two of us. The two of us looked at each other. I wanted to laugh in his face because he looked even annoyed when a Japanese man insert between the two of us. As the number of passengers in the elevator increased, he became even more distant from me.“If I were the owner of this building, only two passengers would be allowed to ride in this elevator,” he said when some passengers went out, and just the two of us left.“Well, thank God. You are not the owner of this building. By the way, your meeting is only here in this building?” I asked. He shook his head.“No, but it’s close to here,” he replied.I thought he said nothing about his meeting but just let me go. “What should I do? You did not give me any details about today’s meeting of yours

While they were talking, I was just on Judiel's side, eating quietly, but I couldn't focus on eating because Judiel was holding my lap. I tried to remove his hand, but he also tried to put it back, so I just let it go.They stood up, and I also stood up with Judiel to say goodbye to his meeting friends. When they all disappeared, I looked at Judiel, who was now looking at me as well."Why?" I'm embarrassed to ask this question. Instead of answering me, he turned away, which made me even more surprised. What is the problem?And can someone remind me how I became his girlfriend again because it still doesn't seem fair to me how it caused a relationship with each other? Something just happened to us one night, but he was my boyfriend right away? It's crazy."Where are we next?" I asked when I got close to him. He looked at me with serious eyes."We're going to buy things for your family.""Huh? Why?" I wonder. What else did he think and sympathise with my family?"Look." He looked at me

"Is your mom okay?" Judiel asked me when I got next to her. I looked again at Ales and Mom, who were still looking at me, and turned to Judiel."They're fine, don't worry. Let's go? You still have a meeting," I said to him. He nodded, so we got in the car together.While on the ride, I just silently stared ahead. I think of the people left behind in my life. What if they get hurt and disappear from me because of what I'm doing? I can't afford for that to happen again. I don't want to lose a loved one similarly."Hey." I immediately looked at his hand when he held one of my hands. I looked at him with a smile. "Are you okay?" I nodded with a smile still on my lips at his question."I'm sorry if Mom didn't seem to get along well earlier. Maybe she just remembered something.""Remember me? What is that?" I was stunned by his question. I have to think of an answer."She said earlier that you look like her son, who went missing a few years ago." Wow! Nice lie, Lucille. I should give you an
