It's the Villacencio Construction Corporation’s annual anniversary, and my family had to attend. Dad was the Vice President of the company and one of the shareholders. The celebration was also a homecoming for Mr. Augustus Villacencio and his family. He’s not only the new President and CEO but the company's largest shareholder now, inheriting everything from his recently deceased father. The event was not just anniversary but also a welcome-back party for the new President. I don't usually like parties like this and wouldn’t have gone if my father hadn’t insisted, demanding our family's presence out of respect for the Villacencios. I’m still estranged from him and we're still barely speaking. I tried to refused, but he commanded our attendance. Although I don't want to, I didn't argue anymore because that might tend to upset him if I did. I guess it's better to oblige his will than create another conflict between us.Wearing a blue lace cocktail party long dress while my long curl

During our vacant period, Kaycee and I usually hang out at the library or the student’s park. That day, we chose the park to relax before our next class. I was preparing my stuff for the history class when I saw Trishia and Phyllis talking to Leanna on the second floor near the science lab. They were a bit far, and the iron railings made them blurry, but I was sure it was them. Leanna was definitely with Trishia and Phyllis. I was surprised; I didn't know they were close. It seemed odd, since we're freshmen and Leanna's a junior. Actually, this was the third or fourth time I saw the two girls talking with my step-sister. Not that I was being paranoid but why do I have a bad feeling about this? "Hey, What are you looking at?" Kaycee asked as the latter looked in the direction I was staring. "Something wrong?" She added. "I didn't know they were friends," I mumbled."Who?" Kaycee curiously asked. "My stepsister and those two girls." "Who? The girl Trisha and Phillis talking w

As soon as I got home, I immediately confronted my vicious stepsister. Luckily, my father wasn't home yet, and Chelsea was out with her friends. I searched for Leanna in her room and on the patio, her usual hangout spot, but she wasn't there. I found her by the pool, lounging on a sunbed, so I immediately approached her."How dare you conspire with Trishia and Phyllis to get me in trouble at school!" I angrily confronted her. Leanna was stunned by my sudden outburst and looked at me. She scanned my appearance and gaped when she saw my bruises. "What happened to you?" She stated in an insulting tone and laughed mockingly that angered me more."How dare you mess with me, you bitch! Trishia and Phyllis admitted you plotted with them to get me in trouble at school and smear my name to Dad! How could you!" I shouted.Leanna seemed momentarily shocked and scared, hearing my voice raging in fury but that's just for a moment. She got up from the sun lounger acting very cool then faces me wi

The Golden Anniversary of Villacencio Construction Firm is the party I never want to miss because at the back of my mind I was foolishly hoping I would have a chance to meet Cedrick Miguel thinking he might return to the country to attend this party. This was one of the important parties of their company and as a sole heir of the Villacencio wealth, there might be a big chance he will attend it. My family never missed attending every anniversary party of the Villacencio Construction Firm and as my father being the Vice President of the company, he made sure the whole family was attending the party except for Allyssa of course since she was too young for this. Cedric Miguel had missed the last two anniversaries, but I hope he'll be here this year.I wore a long evening black halter dress and my long black hair was on a half crisscross braid with loose curls falling down on my back. With the height of five and seven inches tall, I wore a three inch wedge so I knew I looked stunning in m

One night after dinner, I got stunned when my father joined me at the poolside area and sat on one of the lounge chairs beside me. I have a feeling he wanted to talk because I noticed him earlier trying to make a conversation over dinner but he got distracted by Leanna telling him about some business plan. “I checked your room and the garden hammock, but found you here. Is the garden no longer your favorite place?” My father’s question made me look at him.My father's right; the garden, especially the hammock, was my favorite spot, but not anymore. After that fateful night I saw Cedrick Miguel and Leanna kissing there, I started to hate it. Every time I go to the garden, that memory haunts me, bringing me pain and sadness.“You have something to say, Dad?” I asked directly. It’s not like my father sits and talks to me every day. My Dad's time is precious. I was sure he had a reason for being here.“How’s school? Are you happy with your chosen course?”It's kinda surprising he asked
