“I see.” I no longer asked who Jakara was. It was something personal and I was reluctant to delve deeper into it. He threw a glance at me with an amused smile. “Do you want to know about her?” I stared at him with doubtful eyes and asked, “You are willing to talk to me about her?” “Why not?” He chuckled. “Since you know a lot about my life and all the betrayals, I don’t consider it wrong if I add some more to it.” “Okay, then. I’ll listen.” “I met Jakara when…” Kim began, but he suddenly stopped.  I followed his eyes outside the windshield, looking at the jogger who passed by. To my surprise, it was Zed.  He stopped over a bench, drops of sweat trickling down his face. I froze as I watched him bending over, placing his hands slightly wider than his shoulder’s length on both corners of the bench Then, he pushed his body forward and up in repeated cycles. I debated whether or not I should go down and gree

Maezy left that night with my promise to keep my mouth shut. Little did she know that her effort was all in vain because Kim had already known her dirty secret even before their marriage. He even knew that Mr.Yuki was in the country and had come to their house. He was even here in time to witness her seductive dance in front of Mr. Yuki and all her flirty moves for him. Aside from that, a man who could run huge companies like Kim could surely see her motive behind the seduction. And that was to see Jaykee's name in Mr. Yuki's last will.I went upstairs and found that Zed was snoring lightly already. The girls' talk among Mazy, Ara, and me went far and wide that we no longer realized it was late at night already. Speaking of Ara, I suddenly remembered that Tim had imposed time restrictions on her. I got so worried, so I sent her a message."Ar, are you alright?"Her reply came so soon. "Yes, of course.""Wow, he must have eaten some shit. I'm expecting you

Miss Trish's smile calmed my racing heartbeats as I entered my designated office. She hurried to meet me at the reception area as soon as the receptionist informed her of my arrival. Everyone I met smiled at me, may it be at the reception area, the lobby, or in the elevator. It looked like the company was giving high emphasis on exemplary customer service. And I appreciated it that way. At least, my first day of duty became less stressful and intimidating than I expected it to be."Miss Yen, please feel at home," said Trish as soon as I finally gave her my attention.I couldn't help myself from looking around and getting awed at the elegance of my office as soon as I stepped inside. The well-polished and dark-brown wooden desk still glowed against the lights from the contemporary-designed ceiling. There was a laptop on the shelf at the desk's left side and a four-seater coffee table at the far corner by the window. Just across from the desk was a complete sofa set, and

"Miss Yen,  is there any problem?" Dr.  Mitch asked me as soon as I sat on the chair in front of her desk."My new job is requiring me to travel. Is it safe for me, doc?" She looked straight into my eyes for a moment, and I could tell that she was trying to dig the real purpose of my coming there."Of course, if your morning sickness isn't bothering you. But I'm afraid you won't be comfortable in going inside restaurants or any cafes."I smiled, reassuring her with my looks. "I could avoid going into places that could trigger my nausea, doc."She nodded, retaining the smile on her lips. "Then, we have no problem with that.  Just continue taking the folic acid. I'll give you a certificate then. You may need it anytime.""Thank you, doc."She flashed a smile at me again, then turned to her computer on a shelf at her left side. I watched her entering my name and other details on a template until she printed

After dinner, Miss Trish called to inform me that she had already sent the flight details to my email. Zed helped me prepare my things and even placed them in a small suitcase. He made sure that I had all I would need for a two-day trip. Though we only had to be there for a day and would be back by night, Zed wanted me to stay so that I could rest. He thought I would be exhausted at the end of the day. Thus, it wouldn't be good for my pregnancy.We were about to go to bed when my phone sounded. The screen displayed Ara’s face the moment I picked up the phone from the bedside table.“Yen, are you awake?” Ara spoke right into the line as soon as I pressed the blinking green icon."Yes, of course," I replied. "What's up?""It's Tim. I feel something isn't right anymore.""Tell me more.""He told me that Maezy wants him to stay in their house so that he could be there whenever she needs to go somewhere."I frowned and fe
