Chapter 60
Two week ago a ghost came back to haunt Andrea of a thing she did five years ago. She thought she had won and buried that woman but just recently, news travels to her from Jennie that Stella is indeed back.Andrea has been suspicious for the past days that Charles is chasing Stella. She is being disregarded and recently Charles’ office has been empty of him. Only Dimitri was there. She can’t even get a hold of him anymore especially on calls.For five years, she could not make Charles look her way anymore. He was always gazing at the window.“Is the president in his office today?” she asked her workmates.“The president should be here since today is the grand investors’ meeting,” one of them answered.“What time is that meeting again?”“It should be ending soon.”She plasters a sweet smile and took a thick pile of paper. It wasn’t something she had a problem with, she just really wanted to go see him.So, Andrea rushed outside with her paper. On her way, she was bouncing and humming b

In front of the Marie Swan building, Stella waits for Jenkins to come and pick her up. He said they have a sudden meeting to attend to but it has been ten minutes and Jenkins was still nowhere.A minute later, a car stopped in front of her. She thought it was a resident like her in that building but when the driver went out her brows immediately knitted together.“What the hell are you doing here?” she asked to Charles who stood in front of her now.“Good morning to you too,” he greeted with a charming smile.“I’m asking what you’re doing here!”“Didn’t Jenkins tell you about the meeting?”“He did but he didn’t say you were coming,” she replied, glaring at Charles.Then suddenly her phone started ringing and she took it out. When she saw it was Jenkins, she answered and turned her back on Charles.“I won’t be able to pick you up but Charles offered to stop there. He should be here.”Hearing those words Stella shut her eyes. She could have taken a taxi to wherever the meeting is held i

Once the meeting was over, Stella decided to talk to Jenkins about that part. Everything happened so suddenly that she is as shocked as Charles.“Jenkins, that meeting. What was it about?” she asked, standing in front of the young man’s desk.“For our new product,” Jenkins answered.“No, that’s not what I am talking about, Jenkins.” She narrowed her eyes at him. “I’m talking about why? I didn’t know you had an agreement with the rest of the Castigado.”“I want you back, Stella.”Almost immediately Stella’s brows draw together. Questions started clouding her mind and before she could think of an answer, Jenkins spoke again.“I know you were awake when Charles last visited here. You just didn’t want to go on the hassle of arguing with him.”“So what if you are right? What’s this meeting have to do with that?”

On a private plane, Stella is seating uncomfortably on her own, a little further from Charles. She is waiting for Jenkins and the others to arrive. Charles and her in the same room make everything really awkward.A moment after, an announcement from the stewardess came saying to get ready for take-off. Hearing so made both of them stand from their seat, exclaiming the word, “What?” in chorus.They looked at each other and then both their phones chime and they turn away in sync. Both of them were left dumbfounded reading the text Jenkins texted them.“That trickster!” Stella screams, inhaling deeply and as she takes her seat exhaled loudly. She can’t believe that she fell for his trick.It was too late now, they were already flying up. How could he deceive everyone, especially her and Charles?  Moments later, Stella was still getting over Jenkins betraying her when Charles came over, sitting o

Stella and Charles finally arrived in Osoda. There was only one Fugawa who was kind enough to take them to the center of that small island. His name is Kepa and he was kind enough to give them a ride with his tricycle.“You know, many tourist come here to buy small pieces of the silk,” Kepa said. “But if you are here for a much more than just a piece, you better leave our town. The elders will not allow that.”“What if we are here for that matter?” Charles asked Kepa. And the man laughed loudly.“Then good luck, sir! The elders will shoo you away and you’ll be sent home in no time!”Stella who is listening to Kepa noticed the accent. It was familiar to her, her grandmother, she was sure, spoke their language and told her about the Fugawas.As they road the bumpy way, she looks around, thoroughly fascinated by the landscape it has. She is reminded of the island they lived on but this place, Osoda

Eleven in the evening and Stella is still wide awake. Every now and then, she would look at the door, waiting for Charles to come back inside. It’s eleven, he should be back but he isn’t.“I shouldn’t worry myself about him!” she tells herself. Yes, that’s right! She should not ca--A loud bang made Stella abruptly look at her door. There she saw Charles holding tightly at the doorway, his head down and laughing like a damn devil.“What the heck? What’s wrong with you?” She asked with wide eyes.Charles slowly raised his head, looking at her, his hair messy and brought down to his brows. Then a corner of his mouth curved up, which made him look so charming.“Yo, Stella!” he said.From the way he sounds, he seemed drunk and Stella immediately stands up to get to his side. While he giggles, Stella acted as his support, carrying him to the bed.“You’re crazy!&r

That very next day, Stella woke up alone in bed. She stretched and sit up, wondering where Charles would be. He was drunk last night, shouldn’t he be having a hangover. But then again, some people don’t get hangovers.Stella got off the bed and realized her laptop was still on the small table. She didn’t even have the time to close it last night and she bet its battery is drained. With that in mind, she walked there and checked. She wasn’t wrong at all.After putting her laptop on charge, Stella fixed her hair and decided to go out of their hut. The sun was shining but it was not hot at all. Since she needed to eat for breakfast, she decided to go all the way to where Kepa said was the dining area. It’s the eatery.Along the way, the kids from yesterday were playing another game. Fugawas really does wake up early. When the kids noticed her, she was told to join but she decline because she has to eat breakfast and find Charles, of course.When she was near the eatery, she sees Charles.

On the other side of the elder’s place was Charles. The old man was giving these small wine glasses and he knows having just around two of those will get him drunk. He tries to refuse but he ended up having a drink. It was too strong.“I know what you are here for, young man!” the old man exclaimed. He has this loud voice when they are just in front of each other. Charles thinks it’s the old people's thing. “You are here for the silk! The old woman from earlier will not allow you!”“So I have been told a couple of times, gramps!” he needed to louder his voice too because the old man is kinda deaf. “But I am not entirely here for the silk. I’m here for my woman.”Then the old man’s laughter echoed across the room again. He lifted the bottle and filled his cup. And immediately drank it.“Your woman? That beautiful lady earlier with you?” the old man continuously asked. “She doesn’t seem to be fond of you!”“We were once in love!”“Once!” the old man repeated. “She is not anymore, is she

When Casper finally calmed, he could not stop but be talkative with Charles. They kept talking and talking. Stella could just watch her son being alive.“Casper is in cloud nine right now,” Amunie whispered to Stella. “I bet he is really happy.”“Yes, he is.” Stella smiled. Amunie and her was washing dishes but they can hear Casper’s giggles. “Are you okay now with the Castigado, mom? Or are you still not convinced to bring Casper there?”Right that takes Stella back to Crolletta and the rest. Earlier she realized, it’s not important anymore what Crolletta and the others will do.“I can’t keep him a secret anymore. I’ll just have to protect him with my life, Amunie. Whatever God decides our faith, then be it. I won’t have regrets.”Charles stayed with Casper the whole afternoon until the little guy just fell asleep for his nap.
