CRUZ のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

One wrong swift, Vengeance awaits. Alexander popeNot many people could hear the loud voice of Maria's mistress, down the street on a rainy night in a mansion. The woman of the house was acting violent and her servant, Maria received the results of the violence with cries and pleads. Maria thought it was a dream when she was dragged out to the sitting room by her mistress and received heavy slaps with intensity. She couldn't endure the slaps, so she cried out and pleaded with the woman to forgive her for any wrong she might have done."No...no, please! Have mercy." Maria cried as she felt the impact of the slaps on her bare cheeks. "You ungrateful bitch! You tried to steal my husband away from me, after all, I have done for you and your son!" Her mistress yelled. She tossed Maria's bag outside while her husband and the servants watched the drama. Her baby was carried by a nanny who was disappointed at the scene."Por favor ten compasion!" Maria pleaded. She didn't kn

Philip didn't ask too many questions as he drove but Clara was not used to the quietness. "What can I call you? I confess that it's a little uncomfortable to call you by your name." She said."It's okay to call me by my name, I'm not your uncle." He replied with a smile."Oh...but it's strange for me to call my boss by his name.""Just take it, that we are friends. No formality...well, except at work.""That's fine by me...so we are friends?""Yes, we are.""I can't wait to see your paintings." She said.Within some minutes, he arrived at the studio."Here we are." He said as they got out of the car.They went inside and entered a room where Clara saw Philip's paintings. She moved closer to one and touched it gently."I'll see you within some minutes, I need to talk to my manager." He said and left the room.Clara looked at his works, they were all special and exclusive, but he hadn't shown them to the world yet. She looked behind and saw an unfinished sketch, which she guessed that

"How are you mom?" Philip asked as he kissed his mother on her forehead."I'm fine...and you?" "Okay." He said and sat down beside her."How is dad responding to the treatment?""He isn't responding well, he's dying fast."Philip kept quiet for a while and turned to his mother, "Why didn't you tell me that dad was sick?""I... didn't want to make you sad. It would have interrupted your life.""It wouldn't have interrupted my life. It's because you didn't want me to fall short of your desire. That's really cruel.""You wouldn't have been able to cope with the news.""You can't decide that for me. Even though you are my mother, you can't decide how you want me to feel."Maria looked at her son with obvious anger in her eyes. "I suffered for you, I did all I could to bring you to this point where you are. So I have the right to decide what goes on in your life, I decide what stays and leaves in your life."Philip stood up and walked out of the house without saying another word. He knew

"Now you have your son to deal with, don't you? Mujer codiciosa." Tara said and left the table. "You need to bring him back or else, all of us know that the CRUZ company will fail woefully." Dr. Mathew said and left, followed by Daniel and Henry. Maria was the only person who has not left. She became infuriated at Philip's audacity knowing that, without him, the company would not function very well. In her pride, she decided to assign someone else to take the position instead of apologizing to her son.Philip sat down on his couch and sighed. He was stressed out these past few days, at least he showed his mother today that he couldn't be controlled by her and if ever she decided to call him back, she would have to decide not to meddle in his affairs ever again. His mother was a proud woman, so he wasn't expecting any apologies from her whatsoever.After he had freshened up, he lay on his bed to sleep, and then, he got a call from Clara. He was in a very bad mood so he didn't pick up

Everyone turned to look at Clara as she stood at the other side of the table. "You look like someone who lost her way." Henry said."You can't threaten to fire anyone, you can be sued and it leaves a bad image for you and the Cruz company." She said keeping some files on the table."You should leave now, or you would be the first person to sue me."Clara glared at Henry and apologized, "I'm sorry." She said and walked out of the office."Now, my decision is made. All of you can get lost." He said."You might regret this." Another man said before leaving. The others followed suit and left the office in disappointment.Henry sat down on his chair and thought of how Clara interrupted him during the meeting, "You will not like the results, the next time you try that again." He said to himself. "He wants to partner with Safari company." Dr. Mathew said to Philip as they ate together in a restaurant."Why are you telling me this?" Philip asked, without looking at Mathew."It's going way
