Chapter 11: Crazy I waited for Lip to enter the school before I fixed myself to go to the office. I felt so relieved when I saw that he was fine now unlike in his previous situation. It gives me a sense of contentment. But even so, I still can't forget the conflict that took place in our family. That is inevitable. I just wanted to get away from them first because I was hurt. I don't want to lead to forgiveness right away because it only means one thing, tolerance. We tolerate what Dad did, cheating. I fear the consequences of what he did. What if a baby was born? What if he doesn't know about those? We don’t even know it at the moment, but karma will still come from what he did. I was just driving my car on my way to the office when my phone suddenly rang. It was on the phone holder of my car so I just pressed the answer. "Aileen, why did you call? I'll be there in a minute." I said and stopped the car when I reached the stoplight. "Ma'am, uhm ...." My eyebrows met when I heard t

Chapter 13: Weak The plan worked so well on Saturday so I was able to breathe easily. Investors agreed not to pull out shares and just continue the operation. They also allow us to lower production costs while maintaining the quality of parts. Even though the flow of the meeting was good, investors still insisted that I seek help from Rye Fujisaki. What do they know about that man? They just knew that he was so powerful because he has money to spend for certain things and he can just throw money away. But they didn't know that the man was psychotic because he kept on torturing me just for fun. That man is even worse than the devil so why praise him after all of that? They are not in my position so they can say that. But with our family's problem, there is no proper solution yet. Mom wants to divorce Dad because he confessed something. She told me that he impregnated her. But Dad said nothing more than that. He only left her and said he chose us instead of that girl. But that's not it

Chapter 15: Flirt I happily went to work as if nothing had happened because everything seemed to be back to normal. Lip is still attending class and thankfully, he is no longer being bullied by his male classmate. Without his knowledge, I also talked to his teachers about that. I really expressed my disappointment because something like that was happening and it led to the presence of bruises on various parts of my son’s body. It's exaggerated to listen to because Lip only had a bruise on his waist, but still, I don't want anything like that to happen to him again. Even to other children with that child, the same environmental factor. I can't be calm on my seat doing nothing. The teachers apologized to me and said that such incidents would never happen again. They will try to keep peace within the school, as it should be. They work to teach children good manners but I can say that parents also have a part in it. I wonder what the bully boy is going through because that's his attitude

Chapter 17: Madness I thought my problems would stop after that but I was wrong. I caught up again, the second time, with Rye Fujisaki sitting in my swivel chair. Based on how he was still sitting, he was comfortable. He even crossed his arms. "Here you are. Are you always this late coming to your office? It's not your thing to be the boss. What you should be doing is have some discipline to teach you how to get to the office early. Can you go back to basics?" “Can you go back to college to study ethics again?" I asked him back. "I don't know if that's really the attitude of the rich people, it's even worse than rotting garbage. You don't know how to respect another business and you just go in and sit in someone else's office?" I raised my brows but as expected, he didn't seem to be annoyed at all. "You know what? Instead of telling me that, you should just ask me for help now to increase your sales again ..." he pointed to the paper he seemed to have taken from my drawer. This is

Chapter 19: Fiancé "We don't own this land? I thought ---" "Your Dad told us that this land is for collateral since he can't fully repay his bank loan. His loan was overdue and the bank is certainly done with him as Mr. Fujisaki wanted to deal with the bank already. Aren't you talking to your Dad?" Attorney Domingo, our family attorney, asked me, so I just pursed my lips when I heard that. Ever since Dad let me run this company, he has done nothing but train me and tell me about the job. I don't even know why the land on which the business is built was collateral. And loan? Where did that come from? Where did he use the money he took from the bank? What is this secret again? When I finally was gradually convinced by Kira's words, then these all happened. What is Dad hiding again? "Where did he use the money? Do you have an idea, attorney?" I asked him and he just sighed. "I don't have any information about that. Didn't you talk to him about it? Not once, he hasn't told you since y
