“Aicko’s POV”I did not lose hope when he texted me that he will not come to meet me tonight, I remained seated even though the customers who came at the same time with me are leaving. He finally answered my calls after fifty calls that he rejected me, I didn’t wait for him to talk, “Kevin, I will be waiting for you here.” “Didn’t I already told you to stop waiting for me?! I can’t come to you,” I heard him nag at me. “No! I will not leave, I will stay here and wait for you till you come,” I insisted. My eyes started to filled with tears but I’m trying to control it. He didn’t say a word to me and ended the call, I tried to calm down and not let the tears slip out from my cheek. “Ma’am, would you like to order now?” the waiter asks me. I

  “Valerie’s POV” It’s been a week since Schina’s mother died and she have been locking herself inside her room, I know that it is not enough time for her to move on but she have to move forward because the world will not wait for her to heal, it will not stop from spinning just because she was hurt. It continues on challenging her so everybody should be ready any time.   I keep coming back in her house but her aunt always told me that she refuse to see me and give her some time but Mr. Cruz can’t wait to see her, I’m afraid Mr. Cruz will cancel the partnership if we delayed it for a few more days.   I came back to her house again, Eve came to me, “Ms. Val, I don’t know what to do with my niece. She wasn’t going out of her room and I don’t even know what she is doing her there,” she worriedly told me as soon as she saw me.   “Don’t worry, I will convince her to go out,” I assure her. I go upstairs an

  “Schina’s POV” I have think it carefully, I agree on leaving the Philippines and start my new life to other country. I know that it was not easy to live thinking that my mother passed away but I will try to be happy like she wished for me.   I didn’t show reaction to my aunt when she told me that she drives Axel away, I understand her. She just want to protect me and she doesn’t like seeing me getting hurt repeatedly.   I admit that I hate him and his family especially his dad who used my mother. He let her think that love is like a fairytale then left her after he makes her believe that he loves her so much. I am guessing that Axel will be the same like his father, his family is up to no good. That’s why I never felt reluctant to leave it’s because of what they did to my mother.   They hurt my mother and I till she become week and chose to kill herself because of the depression and anxiety that th

  Axel finished all of the documents needed in his company and he met some of the clients in the afternoon. He orders his employees to pass the design as soon as possible.   He was sitting in his office and checking all the papers that his secretary sent to him, everyone notice how he was trying to work in hurry.   “What’s wrong with our boss? Was he in hurry?” A woman employee asked Lucille.   “Sort of,” she casually replied. The woman was watching him from afar, “look, how busy he is. He doesn’t even plan to go out and have breakfast. Lucille, why don’t you give him a cup of coffee?”   “I don’t dare to do that,” Lucille seems to be afraid to serve him today.   “Are you protesting? Don’t you like to work with him anymore?” she guess.   “Of course not! He forbid me to send a cup of coffee in his office.” Lucille whispered.  

“Schina’s POV”We already signed the contract here in States, Mr. Cruz was very happy to meet me. He accommodates us and gives us a place to stay, and also informs me that I will be the model endorsing their brand in exchange for endorsing me. Coach Val was happy about the negotiation happened, we had a beautiful place to stay, good food to eat, and money that can fill our wants and needs. I know that I should be contented and happy but I can’t stop thinking about my mother, I know that she was happy to see me achieving my dream but I can’t be happy like she’d always wanted me to be if I knew that the people who are the reason that she died are still enjoying their lives. I was trying to be strong in front of many people and trying to smile despite the pain I was feeling right now. I want to prove to everyone that I am happy and I can be better but once I’m alright, I hope
