Two years have passed and I continued giving my best in the field that I chose. I overcame obstacles and testings. The field itself taught me to enhance the skills that I already have and discovered more than what I expected. Janice and Roberst stuck with me until the end. People were still convinced about my ability, yet there were still others that were not convinced with what I could do. And that includes Charmaine. Yes, up to this time she's being threatened by my presence. She still couldn't believe that I could beat her competitiveness. As for me, I'm just focused on what I want to do, and I don't want to compete to anyone. If the people surrounding me appreciated what I do, then, I'm grateful. If others don't, then, I don't care. During the two years of my studies as part of the course, I enjoyed everything including pissing off toxic people like Charmaine. She gave her best in trying to pull me down, but she didn't win the people over. "My graduation would be tomorrow," I col

After the ceremony, I told Nicholas that we should pay a visit to Mama Lynette's grave. It's been a while since I paid a visit there. I've been visiting her once in a while, but I never forget to give time for her. When we finally reached the cemetery, I immediately went to her place. I stood there and didn't wait for Nicholas because I got too excited to tell her everything. I knew she won't hear all my stories, but whenever I try to tell her all things that's in my mind, I felt relieved. It's like she's still here with me, listening to all the stories I have. I put down the flowers we bought from the flower shop and sighed while staring at the tomb. I looked on the other side, and smiled. I sat down in between Mama Lynette's and my son's tombs. Sometimes, I just wanted to remember all the days I had with my mother. Those times that I felt her support and love. Those times that I could still hug her and brag about my achievements. But now, the only thing I could do is to talk to a s

NICHOLAS P.O.V. "So, who is this Vienna? And, when will you introduce her to me?" Howard asked and gave me an interested look. I smirked after seeing his reaction. "Why? Don't tell me you're planning to make a move on her?" I asked while looking at him. He laughed in disbelief after that and leaned against the couch. "Let's see about that, Nick," He replied while smirking at me. It was a cold night when Howard and I decided to drink here at my mansion's rooftop. I told Madam Emily to prepare us snacks and wine before we went up here. Just like any other friends, we both asked each other about how are we these previous days. When we met recently, as much as I wanted to talk to him about the things I was being busy with, I went to Vienna's graduation ceremony. And now, Howard asked me if I could let him visit my mansion and do the things we usually do whenever he's here. We usually go up at the rooftop and smell the fresh air coming from the night breeze. And today, since we don'

When Nicholas came to visit my place as soon as he received my call, he decided to stay with me. I was crying on his shoulder as soon as I saw him. I tried my best to hide all my emotions from him, but I still couldn't and I gave in to the burden inside of me. He listened to my rants and questions. But, there's one question that came from him that made me think twice. We both sat on the couch and turned on the television to distract me from negative thoughts. We were in the middle of watching the news when suddenly, there was a familiar video being flashed on the screen. I narrowed my eyes while watching and realized that it was the place we were at earlier. It was the bar where Janice, Robert, and I met to have bonded together. Then, I saw William's picture being flashed on the screen, with a headline about him meeting another woman. Nicholas held the remote and was about to turn off the television when I held his hand. "Don't..." I said coldly. Nicholas looked at me in disbelief

The event was very succesfull that it became a trending topic in social media. People already noticed my products and the orders are overflowing. My employees are very busy packing and accomodating inquiries about my cosmetics. I even got some good feedbacks about the product itself. I felt happiness in everything, and forgot what happened to me and Nicholas last time. Robert and Janice even visited my store as soon as they heard the news. They were amazed by how I run the business. They were very supportive. Yet, they didn't forget to ask me about what happened the previous night when I was with them. I didn't give them extra details about it since it was too confidential and I'm not ready to tell them everything. For sure, if I tell them, it would just trigger another issue. I can't be in an issue right now since my career has just launched. I'm not ready for that. I promised Janice and Robert that I'll call them for a treat when my schedules are all finished, and if I have free tim
