Johannes woke up with a heavy body. He must have exhausted himself last night. Johannes winced in pain when his head felt like cracking. It was no surprise after he drowned himself in some heavy wine last night. He looked around his room, and it was a mess. It reeks of alcohol and a woman's disgusting perfume. It sickened him. He looked at the bedside and recalled that he had brought the woman, whom he forgot the name was, into his condo unit last night. It was not the same woman he spent time with within the office. The woman moved and opened her eyes. She immediately let out a flirty chuckle, "Good morning, handsome," she said, almost whispering as her hands snaked their way to Johannes's legs. He removed the blanket and saw her in her nudity. "Wilder in the morning, aren't we?" She got up and hugged the man. Placing her body on top of him, but Johannes pushed her to the floor. He looked at her with disgusted eyes as he massaged his head. It seems like a fever is coming. He did n

Continuation of yesterday... (At Johannes's unit) Nathalie received a call from Clinton that Johannes would not be coming to the mansion and instead to his condominium unit near the company. She glanced at her watch and then at Nathan, who was currently being checked by the nurse. "Nathan," she called him. He had awoken later this afternoon. He looked at him and raised his brows. He's actually waiting for Nathalie to scold him because he ran away, but Nathan has not heard a word from her since he woke up. "I'm gonna go to Johannes. Eat when the nurses told you, and do not wait for me, okay?" She told him. Nathan stared at her and nodded. He had a grasp of what kind of man Johannes was, and he somehow liked him for his sister. "But did you not fight with him?" He asked. "Oh, we met in the bar, and he's the one who brought me to the hospital when I had an attack," he chuckled when Nathalie looked at him with confusion. She furrowed her brows, "And you find that funny? Seriously, Nat

Nathalie stared at her ceiling. She does not even want to move from the bed. All she did last night was cry and ask why she does need to hear those things from Johannes. And worse... they are over now. He broke up with her. Johannes had given up on her. She felt her body weak, as if the bed could devour her at any moment. It's heavy. She was about to cover herself with a blanket when her doorbell rang. It was just a moment, and she found herself in front of the door, opening it with a light heart. Hoping that it's Johannes who's sober and who would take back what he said last night. Nathalie does not care whether he has hurt her. She would gladly embrace him back if he'd ask her to. Nathalie had fallen for the man that deeply in the past months. Come to think of it, it had been half a year since they became official, and even some of the employees in the company had gotten a hint because of how Johannes treated Nathalie inside the office. "Hey-- Paxton?" She was surprised to see th

A week had passed since the two love birds had broken up. The news had reached even Johannes's grandfather, who's currently residing in Spain. He could not come back as he still got a lot of things to handle in the company there, and though the chairman badly wanted to scold Johannes, he could not. Clinton had no choice but to inform the chairman of all that Johannes had done, even how he kissed another woman in front of Nathalie. Their grandfather was enraged with the facts he heard and even tried calling Johannes himself but his stubborn grandson always declined. "Are you really breaking up with her?" Clinton asked soon as they reached the company. Johannes glanced at him with dead eyes as he lazily walked to the building with his hands inside his pockets. His hair is slightly disheveled, and he does not even shave his mustache. Clinton could not comprehend how he would rate his cousin's look. Overall, he looks like a mess. Though people in the company still admire him since he st

Nathalie's POV I could still feel the stares from the company though no one was looking at me now. I sighed, I felt humiliated, but the pain of how Johannes looked at me was way more. And that Vie... I thought he hated her. He even told me to stay away from her and that I should never engage myself with Vie. But what was that? Did they make up? Are they some sort of past lovers or something... because if that was the case, then I would not have a chance to explain now, would I? I smiled bitterly as I received the order I had made earlier. I went to my car and was surprised when a motorcycle almost hit me! "Are you okay?" A man walking by asked me. My eyes widened when I saw Brian Alejandro, Johannes's older brother. "Nathalie? Woah, fancy seeing you here," he said. He furrowed his brows and glanced at the motorcycle that was now miles away from us. "Shit. I did not get the plate number of that asshole. Are you okay? That almost got you there. You should be more careful next time,

"Everything's under control, Mr. Alejandro. Good thing you had first aid with you. That did a lot for Miss Vie," the doctor had told Johannes, but the man did not seem to listen to him. He was just staring blankly at nowhere. The doctor awkwardly cleared his throat before checking his watch. "Then, I will be going now, Sir. I have a lot of patients to attend to, have a nice day," Johannes nodded at him and thanked him. He stared at Vie, but he could care less about her. He knew that the woman knew very well about the ingredients of that meal, but she ate it nonetheless. She must have planned to frame Nathalie and make Johannes hate her. Contrary to that, Johannes's blood is boiling against this woman sleeping soundly in front of him. Johannes recalled how Vie pushed Nathalie and how she winced in pain. And the hot soup... it must have hurt. Johannes knows that Nathalie is the type to be sensitive when it comes to her skin. She even got multiple paper cuts before! The reason why Joha

Samuel threw his phone when the guard he appointed for Vie had reported that the woman was sent to the hospital after having an allergy attack. He tapped his fingers on the table, slightly being impatient about the situation. This is Vie's request that he make Nathalie's father be indebted to him with a lot of money to the point that he would not be able to pay. Samuel had agreed, but things went out of hand when Nathalie's father ran away without a trace. "That damn fucker!!!" Samuel... is a man who loves money more than everything else, excluding Vie. The woman he longed to have but was too busy looking at another man. "Sir, we have updates about Mr. Taylor," Samuel's eyes darkened. He had been mocked by his brothers after being tricked by that ex-convict. He ought to make him buried in debt, but he dared steal his money and run away! Samuel would never forgive such a man. This young man, who's just about to reach twenty-five this year, hates losing, especially to his brothers,

Nathalie's POV I woke up when my phone vibrated non-stop. I reached for it using my left hand as my right still hurt from the burn I received last Monday. It's Friday already, and it still stings from time to time. Harries had scolded me multiple times. She must be afraid that the burn would leave a scar. I answered the phone when I saw Nathan's name on it. Why is he calling this early? "Hello? Why?" [Can I not call my sister, huh? Psh,] I chuckled. He must be bored since I could not visit him. I can't let Nathan know that I had a fight with another woman, not when I found out that he had already met Johannes. And... I think he likes him for me. I am glad to know that, but now I don't want to disappoint him. "You miss me? Should I visit you today?" I kidded. He would always feel teased whenever I told him that he must miss me. Damn, I miss my brother! Though he's really stubborn, he's still the best that happened in my life... and Johannes after that. [Psh, you should rest. You th

(Trigger Warning: Violence and sexual harassment) "Johannes? Oh? Are you waiting for Nathalie?" Paxton was wiping his sweat while walking to Johannes. He must have come from the gym on the third floor of the building across from theirs. Paxton did not want to associate himself with other people, so he went to rent the whole gym, which he could not do in the gym in their building. "Tsk?" Johannes arched a brow. "Maybe I should really purchase this building and kick you out," he said while rolling his eyes at Paxton. The latter chuckled and sat beside him. "Why don't you go inside?" He leaned to the bench and stretched his arms and legs. Johannes moved away from him, "You're disgusting," "What? You don't sweat, huh?" "Fuck off," "You are really mean, Johannes. How the hell did you end up that way when your parents were like angels? Brian, too, tsk," he opened his bottled water and drank it before looking at Johannes again, "You're finally going to talk with Nathalie?" "Why do you

Nathalie's POV I am curious to know how long it has been. Two hours? Three hours? Five? Half a day? Maybe a day had already passed even... I cannot even feel a part of my body where I cannot be disgusted. They... They all touched every inch of me. I was startled when someone poured cold water on me. I opened my eyes and saw a glare from his big eyes. "Do not sleep yet! It's not fun playing you when you're passed out," he scoffed. I looked away. I can't help but feel so pathetic that I had been touched this way. Can I even go back to Johannes after this? Will I even be able to face him as clean? No. I would utterly feel disgusted. I was hoping that he would save me, but hours had passed, and there was no shadow of him. He must not have noticed that I was gone... I noticed that my phone was missing, so they must have used it to tell him otherwise. I'm so pathetic. After acting all high and mighty all my life to survive in this world, here I am... being stepped on by these lowly men.
