Time passed quickly, and it had already been a few months since she left her adopted family’s house. She lived in the cemetery with her newfound family. And her best friend, Alexa, the eldest daughter of the family. She was beautiful but a bit boyish. Alexa was older than her, but she did not go to college right after she graduated from high school because of poverty. She was working in a Shooting Range Club, trying to save money for her entrance exam to the military academy. There are only designated places where they can take their entrance exam, and sometimes it is held only at their military school, which is not in the capital.The good thing about the military academy because the government provides scholarships and allowances to all the students who pass the entrance exam. However, to be eligible to get the scholarship and allowance offered by the government for the passers will depend on the results or scores get by the examinees during the entrance examination. The continuati

After her dinner, she returned to the room. The heavy rain has already stopped, but the string breeze brushes her face.She walked to the balcony. All this time, she finally accepted the fact that whether it was in her previous life or the current life she had right now, she always kept herself busy during the day so she wouldn’t feel lonely. Or feel neglected. Or feel sad. But when the sunset and she’s alone in the room. Her loneliness will consume her. Before, when she felt lonely, cooking became her companion. It can only relay her feelings, but afterward, she would sit outside the balcony and look up at the stars and moon beneath the cover of darkness. She would think of her past life. Her past life. How full it was with the laughter and love of her friends and employees. And her master – the father she missed. Her goal and independence. Her freedom. She would miss how fulfilling her life had been. And the things that she wanted to do to enhance her skills. Even when she was lonel

“Let’s have our lunch outside.”“Okay. Well, it has been a while since we ate outside except at our restaurant.“Do you like it?” Harvey asked while starting the engine and driving the car out of the cemetery.“Of course. Oh, by the way, where are the others? From the time we left the house, I haven’t seen them,” Ara asked. She thought that Aunt Melba and the rest would be following them, but until they left the cemetery, she had not seen the rest of them.“Ryan and the rest were already in the restaurant. They will just attend the mass, while Aunt Melba, Uncle Domeng, and Lulu will be following us soon. They were just caught in the traffic.”“They were caught in the traffic? Weren’t they just following us?”“Yeah, I’m not clear about what happened, but they said that there was a traffic incident.”“Oh, how was them?”“Don't worry, they're okay. They were not the one involved in the accident, it's just that, the accident happened in front of them and they were not able to pass.”“Good

It was already late in the afternoon when they returned home. Harvey with Gener and Diego went directly to his study to discuss some business.“Prepare the documents for the acquisition of the Diana Furnishing,” Harvey turned to Gener while closing the door. He went directly to his desk and opened the lower part of the drawer. He picked up the folder and gave the documents to Gener.“Why the sudden change?” Gener asked while checking the documents related to the acquisition.“Well, Ara is right. I’m a businessman, and I have to weigh the pros and cons before I make my decision. And upon weighing the pros and cons, and with further investigations, acquiring the whole company, it is more beneficial to acquire it and be part of the Empire Group rather than crashing it.”Gener raised his brows. If he remembered it correctly, they had suggested the same thing to him, yet he was firm with his decision to break Renzo’s support. But with just a suggestion from Ara, he changes his decision. He

Ara urgently left the restaurant and got into the car. She overestimated herself in dealing with her past. But the situation now proves whether the mere face of the man could affect her. It has been over a decade since she last saw that face, and yet the impact is still strong. Although, she convinced herself that the man in front of her was not the man in her past. But the feelings that bubbled over felt very familiar. It was the exact feelings she had when she was still a teenager and living with her adopted family.Good thing Ara could calm herself. Or maybe her maturity and experience over the years play a huge role in her calmness while facing the man. She didn’t expect that one day she would be able to restrain herself in front of that man, sitting quietly instead of panicking.Yes, she admits that deep inside, she is panicking, but she can control it on the outside and never reveal her inner turmoil.“Madam, are we now going back home?” Ara returned to her senses when she heard
