Alyia's Point of View. "You know you're naturally beautiful even without those stupid things, right?" Flame suddenly said out of nowhere that made me turn my back at him while I am doing my eyeshadow."You know that I'm too old to believe those sugar-coated words of yours, right?" I said and rolled my eyes as I slightly push him that cause him to let out a chuckle. "C'mon! I'm saying the truth here!" He exclaimed at my back that made me roll my eyes. "Yeah, right." I said and continued what I am doing with my face. He kept on mumbling words saying that it's fine even if I don't wear makeup. He kept on repeating his point that is annoying me big time now. Makeup became my undercover. It makes me hide everything that I don't want the world to see. I'm tired but when I put makeup, my eyes won't show that anymore. It will just uncover it. Makeup is every woman's best friend. If you think that way, you've really become a woman. I know no one is required to put on makeup but every woma

Alyia's Point of View. "What do you mean?" I asked him and was expecting for an answer but a man interrupted our conversation. "Sir, here's your bill." The man said and put the receipt on the table. I saw him pay and sign what he's supposed to sign. My gaze stayed at him while he does that. Why does he seem like a little weird today? I didn't get what he meant by those words he said earlier. "Thank you, Sir." The waiter said and walked away from us. I thought it would be the right time to ask him because the guy is away already so I opened my mouth and was about to ask him but then suddenly, my phone rang. "Don't you want to answer that? It might be important." He said as he wipes off bits of sauce on his face."Fine but we'll talk after this." I said and answered my phone. I didn't bother to stand up or what because there's no point in doing those. Flame can be trusted. I know that. "Ma'am Alyia, where are you? You already know our schedule for today, right?" Irene exclaime

Alyia's Point of View. "What time is it?" I asked myself as I slowly open my eyes. I woke up because of the sunlight hitting my face. I was about to stand up and brush my teeth but I got dizzy so I decided to stay on my bed. My head has been aching since I woke up and I don't understand why. "Oh right! Last night..." I said to myself as I massage the sides of my head. "Last night?! What happened last night?!" I exclaimed when I recalled everything. Well, not everything but the last thing I knew was I was with Cosmos. I was with him last night. Was I really? "Was I really with him?" I asked myself as if it would give me answers to my questions. "You're already awake." A voice said that made me look at where it came from. "Flame! Have you seen Cosmos?! Is he still there? Wait. I'll just brush my teeth and take a shower. Tell him to wait for me, please." I said and hurried up on standing. I quickly wore my slippers and even if my sight is still unstable, I stood up and ignored i

Alyia's Point of View. "I'm sorry." The woman said but I was so preoccupied the way she disappeared from my sight. "Alyia?" Flame's voice spoke suddenly that made me go back to my senses. "Oh yeah." I said and tried to find the woman earlier but I can't see her in every corner in this place. "Are you okay?" He asked and I just nodded. "I'll just go to the bathroom." I said and pointed the bathroom that I am supposed to be at now. I didn't wait for any response from Flame. Instead, I walked myself to the bathroom without turning my back. That woman.. she's really mommy. I saw her face. * * * "Are you sure you're okay?" Flame asked as I sip from my juice, staring at the table for no reason. "U-uh me? Yes, I'm fine." I answered and smiled. A forced one. "We were talking about the future projects that we could do or build if we invest in your company, Ms. Vega." One of the man on the table I am in spoke. I didn't knew they were talking about that. I was preoccupied by what happ

Alyia's Point of View. It's been two days since I met Cosmos and also two days since I saw mommy. Two days since Flame didn't show up in front of me but still gives me meals that was cooked by him. We haven't seen each other within two days because of his "I'm busy" thingy but in those two days, I didn't felt like he wasn't there for me. Je cooks me meals from breakfast to dinner. Or even on midnight snacks. I missed him. "Ma'am, it's already lunch time. Aren't you going to eat?" Freya asked me while cleaning up my table. I just red and signed so many files and it's time for her to do her part. "I'm sure Flame cooked me for lunch. Don't worry about me. I'm sure it's gonna be here before 12 pm. Just go and take your lunch." I answered her with a smile. "Oh. Okay, Ma'am. I'll get going now." She replied and bowed her head down at me before walking out from my office. When Freya disappeared from my sight, that's what also the time that I let out a sigh that I've been holding for
