CHAPTER FOURTEEN: NEVER BEEN STRANGERS, MORE THAN FRIENDS (3)   ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡   Nicole lets out a deep breath after getting inside her apartment unit and plopping herself down her sofa. If this was a better day, she would have asked Navier to come home with her in the main house to their mother; but both of them are in really shitty condition. Just like how her conversation with Sophia went, she understands that Navier most likely needs to be alone for a while to gather himself from everything that happened.   Thinking about it, she smiles proudly just by imagining how Navier acted. She can never justify the need for drugging someone, but damn it, that is not the point here. She is proud because his actions were the same as their mother’s young recklessness. It makes her happy to know that

CHAPTER SIXTEEN: TINY BABY STEPS AHEAD (2) ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ Navier misses Sophia. So much. So dang much that he can literally feel some unexplainable chest pains all throughout the day just by thinking about her and all the remaining days there are before he can see her.  Sophia has been busy with her academic papers, and so he was with all the things that he needed to arrange as he slowly returned to the Sy Mansion for all his works as the head of the clan. He wished he had the leisure to even see Sophia during her break times, but aside from the mere fact that he does not have the time to spare, literally; Sophia’s schedule has been at its most unstable. Every time he tries to make a call, it is either she is with her cla

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: THE WOMAN ABOVE ALL (1) ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ Nicole has been pacing back and forth. No, she does not have to attend yet another long conference meeting, but rather a more intense version of that. Not company-related in any sense, but it is a meeting between the powerful members of the current Sy Clan, without Navier. That is the only thing that calms her even for a little bit. At least her younger brother is not here to suffer the same anxiety she is having. If someone sees her right now, she can already picture them looking like they have seen the impossible. She does not blame them at all. The moment she walks out of this room, she will look like she is ready to conquer the world. No, she was not trained to be like thi

CHAPTER TWENTY: THE WOMAN ABOVE ALL (3) ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ ♤ Sophia is waiting for Navier. No, her boyfriend did not know that she is here and of all the things that she forgot, it really has to be her cellphone. She could have easily called Navier to make sure that he is here in the first place, but no. She really chose to be reckless right now and do the first thing that ever came to her mind… and it was simply to see Navier. “Miss Sophia?” She was startled because she honestly did not expect that someone would call her name. Facing whoever it was, she was actually relieved that it was one of the lobby’s receptionists. “H-Hello.” “Ah,

“I know people who recommend us to some legit lawyers, but I know already that they will cost a lot. We can try some public ones but I don’t think that that is very advisable now. What if they rig the system and bribe whoever public lawyer you will get?” Sophia cannot stop herself from biting her finger. She did not mean to tell anyone about her problem, but nothing can really get past Jaylene. The moment she gets into the Soul’s Secret and meets her, she has not even uttered any word yet and this woman already knows that something happened to her. She did her best to have the topic slide, but Jelly insisted and when she saw how worried she was, she did not want to worry her more.She told her everything about what happened just this morning. Tomorrow is their only day-off which is a Sunday, so they still have their shift tonight and her make-up skills did not work on Jelly who still saw how stressed she is. She was really reluctan
