Due to the intense fear that I felt, I am still shedding tears when we went out of the police station. It feels like all the bad lucks have been thrown out on me. I am scared that my parents would learn about this accident. They will definitely punish me for what I have done. “You are still crying,” a familiar voice behind my back has spoken. I did not bother glancing his way. I do not even have the gut to face him right now. I just want to evacuate to the planet Mars and bury my shitty head in there. I just walked and cried my heart out. I have been wiping my face using my own handkerchief which is totally wet because of my endless tears, and ironically, I still have so many gallons of tears to cry. I felt Evan’s presence at my back. He is still following me even though I am not saying a single word. I do not want to admit the fact that I am still lucky as he was there when I needed him badly. He was the one who fixed this whole thing a

Even once in my life, I have never thought about killing a person out of my anger. Never did I expect to imagine a brutal image of myself being a killer, but this time, I think that’s what I would love to do. I am staring at the man who made me feel worse. Seriously, what exactly is wrong with him? His mouth does not even rest for a bit and kept talking bad things that made me feel more angry and devastated. He’s still in the mood of rubbing all my mistakes in my face instead of comforting me. Does it make him less of a person if he tries to be a little kinder to me? Or, does he loathe me so much that he acts this way? I fisted my hand. He glanced my way as he drove his car and then he flashed a smirk at me. “Would you please stop annoying me?” I asked him, irritated that I can’t even do anything other than throw a dagger at him. My ragged breathing became more evident as the annoyance I am feeling deep within is just eating me up. I am

The next day, I felt like escaping because I have to visit Zendejas’ residence as my parents wanted me to do. With an irritation evident on my face, I was forced to wear an elegant off-shoulder white dress. Once again, my parents have urged me to wear something nice and to apologize to Evan for the mess I have created yesterday. That arrogant man, I could not even imagine myself apologizing to him because he is too cruel to me. I could just simply visit him at his office today however; my parents have learned that he’s on a day off until tomorrow. According to daddy, Riley will be the one to accompany me to Evan’s house and if I’d do something awful during my visit, he would know it immediately. I heaved a sigh and just wore my black stilettos and then I also put light makeup on my face to make sure I am still presentable. Regardless of how I feel about this situation and even though I do not want to visit that ruthless guy, I will still choose to be

Samantha seemed very excited, and I could almost feel my chest tightening because of the sudden fear that eats me up. She asked the housemaid to prepare some snacks, and then as we walked through the pathway that will lead us to the swimming pool area, she kept telling me a lot of things about her brother— things that I am not aware of. She also mentioned that her parents keep asking Evan to announce our engagement very soon. “My brother informed us that he would talk to you about it first. I hope he already did that. Knowing my brother, he is so slow when it comes to this kind of thing,” Samantha added when we arrived in their swimming pool area. I only shook my head. Evan hasn’t told me about this thing yet. Whenever we meet, we only end up fighting because of his attitude issue. Samantha frowned as she shook her head in disbelief. She glanced at the wide swimming pool. I did the same and we both saw the familiar figure of someone having a good di

I didn’t know how I was able to look at him in his pierced and brooding eyes for a long time. God knows how I wanted to look away but my eyes were unwilling to do so. All I knew was my heart is beating aggressively like it would come out of my chest and abandon me because of the extreme fear it felt with Evan’s dark gaze. He was too close and the atmosphere is getting so intense. My body cannot seem to function well while he was holding me firmly. My knees were getting weak too; one move and I would probably fall on the floor because I am damn scared right now. “I am here because my parents wanted me to apologize to you formally,” I managed to speak firmly despite the fear in my chest. I gathered all my strength and pushed him so that I can get away from him. Good thing it worked! He stepped back and that have me a little sigh of relief. My face heated in shame. How could he touch me like that? My entire body shivered as I still feel

I roamed around in his room and in all fairness, Evan is a neat type of guy. His room is too manly and clean. It smells like his familiar perfume, not to add that the ambiance has a cozy vibe and gives me a breath of fresh air. The walls were painted white, with frames and expensive paintings hanging in there. I also noticed that the pieces of furniture were all made of woodwork and antiques which gave comfort to my eyes. He has his own lounge area here and there is also a huge bookshelf filled with so many books about business and finance. On the right side of the lounge area, there is a work table with piled-up documents which I think he brought home for his review. In addition, there is a Macbook which is set up on it at the center of the table. I looked at the documents again. Does he really need to bring his work home? Does he still rest? He is such a business-minded and workaholic person. I walked through the path where Evan went earlier when he said h

The thought of understanding Evan’s behavior engulfed my mind. I am trying to think of ways to get to know him and to understand where he is coming from, just like what Samantha told me a while ago. The side of my lips curled up for a bitter smile. Am I really that curious about him? As far as I remember, I should be mad at him because he treats me unfairly. I was sitting on the couch, getting so immersed in all the thoughts spinning around my head as an unwanted feeling started to sink deep within me. A few minutes later, Evan went back together with the housemaid who brought the food for us. The food was served on the available table on the balcony. I just watched them with my lips pouting evidently. Do I really have to eat here with him? I want to go downstairs and talk to Samantha. I don’t want to be stuck here in this room with this cranky guy. My gaze followed the housemaid when she went out of the room after serving our food. My lips protruded. “Let’s eat,” Evan inv

It was later in the afternoon when I decided to leave Zendejas’ residence. I wanted to go home as I do not want to be a burden to Evan. He might have some important plans and being here would prevent him from doing what he needs to do. He walked with me as I went outside their mansion. I saw our car just a few steps away from me with Riley inside who is patiently waiting for me. I turned to Evan and gave him a small smile. “I have to go,” I stated and inhaled heavily. He put his hands inside his shorts pockets and nodded at me. “Thank you for visiting.” He said with his pursed lips. “Well, I needed to.” “I know but still, I want to thank you.” He smiled playfully at me. I rolled my eyes, “Stop it. It’s not really you.” I said and then pouted my lips. “Alright, I will zip my mouth.” He replied, amused. I turned around and walked towards our car. He even followed me and watched me as I hopped into the car. Riley closed the door for me. Evan leaned into the open windo

We took our one-hour lunch after Jameson’s first attempt to make Liese speak about what really happened. I sighed deeply, still feeling uncomfortable and affected. I stared at the food I ordered. It seemed that I lost my appetite as I still think about the tragedy Liese has encountered. I normally eat my lunch alone at the cafe near our regional court. I leaned back on my chair and inhaled sharply. Even though I am just a normal legal stenographer who simply works my ass out as I crawl on the ladder of success that will lead me to have a better career, I still could not control my emotion whenever I get to witness a court hearing just like what I have been to a while ago. It gets into me immediately, making me feel so affected and emotional. I am neither a lawyer nor a judge but it gives me this kind of heavy feeling that I myself would like to resolve their issues at all costs. I am soft-hearted, really. “Coffee?” a familiar voice spoke from the side of my table. I glanced up

“Your father told me that you are not allowed to drive a car after the trouble you were in. You should have informed your driver to fetch you right away.” He stated in his calm voice. “That is not necessary. I wanted to take a short walk to clear my head a bit. I’m not in the mood to go home early...” He nodded and then started the engine of his car. “Still, it’s dangerous to walk out there all by yourself, Risha Nathalie.” I leaned to the window and gazed at the left alley where I have been for almost an hour. “Can’t you see? There are a lot of people hanging out in there. It’s safe and the place is fun,” I replied as I pointed my finger to the place so he would know what I am talking about. I glanced his way. He only gazed at the left alley for like a second and then he stared at me for a moment before looking back at the road. “As I remember, there were also a lot of people when you hit somebody’s car a few days ago.” he fired at me. I rolled my eyes outrageously. So,
