IT’S BEEN almost a week since Rexon called me for work. I’ve also been fermenting here at home for a week.I want to apply for another job but I can’t. After all, Rexon didn’t give me a regular job.I haven’t talked to Calixto since that night happened at the bar. I also don’t receive any calls or texts from him.Even though I was in pain, I chose to ignore it. Perhaps he isn’t the right guy for me, and I should look for someone else.I want to forget Calixto. I want to bury my feelings for him, no matter how sick and hard it is.What I was worried about was our expenses and medications of my father. I need to find a real new job soon.“Dad, I’m here!” I chirped after buying some groceries for the whole week.But my feet stood still when I saw Calix talking to my father in our living room.“Cherry, your boss Calixto is here!” Dad gave me a big smile.

“YOU’RE GREAT.” The girl teased him and glanced at me before raising an eyebrow. She’s now staring down at my body and drawing a smirk.“Is she your P.A?” she asked Rexon.Rexon did not respond.“As I expected,” the girl stated after laughing.I need to clear my throat to avoid everything I heard, but she keeps flirting with Rexon.I decided to drink the wine from my glass again before speaking.“Ah, excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom.” I immediately stood up, but I felt dizzy.“Hey, are you alright? Do you want me to go with you?” Jeff offered.“Shut up, dude!” I heard Rexon said as he was hugging his two girls.“It’s okay, Jeff.” I smiled at him before I glanced at Rexon, who suddenly rose back on the couch.I saw Jeff give Skye another high five before laughing. I started to walk away from them, and Jeff f

I JUST stared at him and pulled on his leather jacket again. But he firmly restrained me.“I’ll take you home.”This time his voice became serious that slowly pinning me at my chair. He turned off the engine before getting out of the car without saying a word.I wanted to stop him, but he quickly got in front of me to open the door. I met his gaze, and I couldn’t help but traveled along with his sharp features with my eyes. His dark eyes, which sat below his dark brows, were tiny and evenly spaced.As he stared at me, I noticed that he had a bridged nose that constantly hooked over in his soft lips, which were painted a natural red, and his jaw was set firm and clinched.“Aren’t you planning to go out of my car?!” he shouted at me while his face was wet because of rain.I got up from my seat, and he immediately snatched his leather jacket from me. My face warmed as he crept closer and wrapped his arm

IT’S UNDERSTANDABLE that the name he’s mentioning is his sister-in-law. He is suffering from hallucinations. Besides, I was not ignorant of how he feels for Lara.But why is the world allowing this guy to be in pain? I understand heartbreak, so why do I feel compelled to blame the sky when I look at this one? He was constantly at the top of his game, and he has nearly everything—a prosperous life, a happy career, and a stable business.Now I understand that there was no such thing as a perfect life. Everyone has challenges in life; whether it is a matter of money or a family problem, there’s always someone who will put your own resilience to the test. It aches to realized that we're going through the same thing right now. But since I had no choice, I tried to cope up, but when I looked at him, I couldn't. I want to feel bad about myself. Now I understand why it was termed heartache. It's a deep, unexplainable sensation in your chest. Th

MY GAZE flew to Rexon, who walked straight and bowed to the railings before lighting a cigarette.I could barely breathe as I watched him hit and puff the smoke into the air.“Are you done talking to your dad?” He looked at me with the same intensity that he wore earlier.I nodded and glanced down on my feet on the floor. I can’t stand his stares, which was not normal to me.He turned his gaze to the other side, so I mustered up the courage to say something.“How was your feeling? Didn’t you have a fever?” I timidly asked.“I have colds and cough, but I’m okay now.”The air became quiet and heavy, and thick clouds had already covered the stars.“Thanks for taking care of me.” He broke our silence. He faced me and leaned against the railings. His arm folded tightly across his broad chest.Again, I tried to avoid his gaze before nodding. “You’re
