"The brute gave me a week to think about it." I rolled my eyes after I drank a glass of cognac. It's already 6 pm and Dylan's club is still not open, staffs are cleaning and disinfecting the tables and sofas but I am the owner's friend so I can go here whenever I want to.The lights were on, and the place is quiet comparing to how will it sound later when it opens at 8 pm."Girl, why one week?" Vanessa asked in a stagy voice and pour another portion of cognac in our shot.Dylan, the owner of our favorite night club is inside the bar and fixing something. Years ago, when I finally decided to end things up with Uno, I found Dylan as my new partner in crime. We grew into good friends, but the label is just that. We are inside a platonic relationship and no matter how the people told us that we look good together and we should try, we both disagreed.I only have eyes for the nerd at that time, and Dylan isn't interested in committing to someone. I actually th

"What the fuck, Uno? What do you think you are doing?" I angrily asked when he finally answered my call.My feet is pacing back and forth, a line appeared in between my brows. I heard him chuckle on the other line. My supposed relaxed and stress-free night has been interrupted by this brute and he only added fuel to the fire while I am hearing his laughter."What? You still have the audacity to laugh? Really?" I slump myself at the edge of the bed and rubbed the towel to my wet hair."You don't have riches, but you have a bad temper," he chuckled more. I cleared my throat, pissed of how he mocks me now that I am no longer the powerful Farrah Evans seven years ago.I don't want to agree with the usual statements of rich people, but I guess, it's true.When you have the money, you are powerful. You can have everything you want and win from any election and contests as long as you have all the damn riches. But mocking me isn't good at all. I don't kno

"I want all of you to meet my soon to be wife, Farrah Evans."His brazen announcement made me seek for air. He kissed my cheeks and arched his brow at me before glancing back at the crowd who's now clapping their hands. His grandfather is in front, just beside our table with some businessmen in his age. A wide smile is plastered at his wrinkled face as he whispers something at the man beside him while pointing at me.Our eyes met, and the only thing I could do is to force myself to smile at him like everything is fine and I know what is happening. Truth is, I don't have a single idea and the brute looks like he enjoyed my priceless reaction earlier!As soon as we got out of the stage, a lot of businessmen and women went to greet us, and Uno keeps on shaking the hands of the people. And for about half an hour, I just gritted my teeth while my brows are furrowed, not minding if the people will notice that I am pissed.When I noticed that he is not as busy a

"You really didn't ask him to go even in Ilocos, Farrah?!" Vanessa, in her usual stagy voice and horrible face, yelled as she stopped folding my clothes.Yesterday, when Uno and I signed the papers, I asked him to drive me to my unit and let me stay even just for that night. Just a night spent alone with my unit before I will live with him. I still can't accept that the life I didn't imagine will now start and I have to endure the days of being with him in one roof, but I no longer have a choice.After that small event of us, he didn't talk nor touch me again. The atmosphere was heavy and eerie silence is creeping me out, and I just silently thank him that he nodded and drop me in front of the tower, but he told me that he will fetch me later in the afternoon so here I am with Vanessa and Dylan, fixing my things and put it inside my luggage. But Dylan is still not here. He told me he'll be late but will go here once he is done on the thing he is doing."He asked me if I want to go some

I really don't know what is wrong with me that every move of Uno etches on my mind. First, he kissed me and became clingy. And then after that, he went home drunk and once again, kissed me and touched me to some part of my body. And then this morning, I didn't even see even a sign of him in the whole house.I am alone! And it's still 6 am! I pushed my hair back using my fingers and lazily strutted the way to our kitchen. It was empty, but there is a food placed in the middle of the dining table with a large steel lid. I sneered and opened the fridge to get myself a box of fresh milk and sat on a high chair.The brute didn't let me see him even for a second, huh? He didn't even let me ask why he is drunk last night or why did he do it. I shook my head decided to fix myself and go to work.Pacifica is fine, some investors are now hesitating if they will still pull out their shares or will stay because the company will soon merge with Saldivar
