Chapter 46
OLD house, new life. The mansion that’s used to be quiet has come into life. It’s always filled with Luna’s laughter especially whenever they invite her classmates every Saturday. They usually have barbecue parties in the pool area, which always filled their home with tons of children’s laughter.
After the funeral of Dona Margareth, she returned to teaching preschoolers. Luna Serene has just turned five and will soon start kindergarten. She can now read short sentences and spell simple words and she’s certain that her daughter won’t have a difficult time adjusting.
She also went back to managing the coffee shop. Carl insisted that she keeps it despite her refusal. It was his way to make up for everything that he’s done, and didn’t do. She was thankful, of course but somehow, she felt as if she didn’t deserve everything.
He let her do anything and go wherever she wanted. He let her live her ol

BULLET stood in the kitchen doorway, just staring at her as she’s preparing their breakfast. She was wearing silk shorts, too short that it covers too little. Her top was loose and thin with really tiny straps, which shows her shapely bosoms. He immediately felt his manhood react, just looking at her.He has known her for just over a month but it felt a lot longer than that. He met Audrey at an office function in L.A. and since then, they’ve been inseparable especially when they found out that they were actually working for the same corporation. She’s just supposed to be a ‘fling’ but as he has gotten to know her more, he realized that she’s more than just a pretty face.He came closer to her and hugged her gently from behind.“Hi, there, handsome,” she greeted as a respond to his kisses on her neck. “It’s still early, why are you up?”He didn’t say anything but

He has managed to live in L.A. for many years and he actually loved it. But aside from the fact that it was indeed a good opportunity, there’s this part of him that’s telling him that seven years were probably long enough to forget.Forget? Well, not really.

“WHY are you looking at me like that?”Astrid heard Theo chuckled. He shook his head and focused on the book he’s reading. They were sitting at the bench inside the amusement center where Luna was having the time of her life. She’s been bugging her to visit the mall and let her play at the amusement center as a reward for being the top of her class. So she had no choice but to find time to grant her wish. Good thing that Theo was free to drive them since she had to take her car to the shop for maintenance.“Hey, what’s the matter?” she asked once more when he fell silent. His eyes were on the book but she can see that he’s smiling. “Come on, what is it?” He’s been glancing at her every now and then and it somehow makes her uncomfortable. “Do I have something on my face?”Theo glanced up and shook his head. “I’m sorry, it’s just that...&rdq

“IS that all, sir?”Bullet has been staring at his monitor for the entire three minutes. He didn’t even hear their office secretary, asking him about his meetings for the day. The secretary had to ask multiple times before he could answer.“By the way, Miss Audrey just called. She said she won’t be able to join you to dinner tonight because she’ll be going to her grandparents.”“Noted. Thank you, Miss Mendoza,” he replied without looking at her. He just heard the door opened and then closed.When Audrey’s grandparents learned that she’s now working in their Manila-based company, they invited her to visit them in the province. She wanted him to come but he refused because he still has a lot of things to do so now, she’s been avoiding his call the entire day. He’s used to her temperament though and he knows that she’ll talk to him again when she’

BULLET crossed his arms over his chest and watched her from afar. He chose to sit at the far end corner of the restaurant where nobody can bother him. He came there right after his last meeting just to make sure that he arrives at Mandy’s before she did.Honestly, he’s not expecting Astrid to show up. He should know because he’s already used to her letting him down and not keeping her promise. Ah, why the hell did he ever come here in the first place? He was able to live a normal life for seven years and he shouldn’t be wasting his time for this.He’s not even sure if the email really came from Astrid or it was just from someone who wanted to play tricks on him because after she abandoned him and left for another man, he decided that he didn’t want to have anything to do with the woman anymore and he won’t let her in his life again, ever. So he flew to the US, changed his email address and contact number,

“HI.”Astrid was about to stand up but Bullet motioned her to stay seated. Instead, he sat down opposite her at the table. She’s not meant to stare but it was inevitable. He has always had that look that stopped women in their tracks. Yeah, he’s probably used to it, those glances and sudden pause when women look his way, accompanied by easy gaze and flirtatious smile. Though he’s always known his effect on women, he’s modest about it, which just made all the girls fall all the more.“How did you find me?” he asked without hesitation. The muscles in his face tightened but kept eye contact. His usual cheerful smile was replaced with a blank expression.“You are late,” she accused, trying her hardest not to stare.“I came here a few minutes before you arrived,” he confessed. “I just want to make sure that the email I received really came from you.”
