Even though her body still hurts, especially between her thighs, Shaina still takes big steps when walking. She went straight to their room and immediately closed the door after entering. Luckily, it wasn’t locked. In the first place, she had intended to block the bottom of the door earlier because she hadn’t brought the key card. Leaning against the closed door, she held one hand over her chest while taking a deep breath. With her appearance, anyone would think she was chased by a ghost.
She stayed in that position for a few more minutes before checking herself. Staring at the object in her hand, her face turned red due to embarrassment. Fortunately, no one had seen her earlier. Seriously, she was able to walk down the hallway with no underwear on. Goodness! Because she was in such a hurry earlier and was afraid that the man would catch her, she was unable to put on her panties.Afterwards, Shaina decided to go into the bathroom that was also in the room and take a shower to clean herself. She also didn’t take long in the shower because she felt tired. Fortunately, her friend was still asleep. Laying down next to Daisy, she immediately fell asleep. The next day, Daisy was the first to wake up from a loud knock at the door. “Who is this bothering my sleep?” he complained while rubbing his eyes.Daisy was about to stand up when he noticed the person next to him. His sleepy spirit finally woke up when he recognized his friend. Later on, he gradually remembered what he and his friend had done. But he didn’t remember exactly how they got to this room. When he heard the knock again, he woke Shaina up.“Hmmm…” Shaina mumbled sleepily and pulled the blanket to cover her face.Daisy shook her head at his friend’s response. He quickly got off the bed and maybe it’s the service crew who was knocking. The fee is expensive there and he might be the one to pay for the bills for God’ sake. Opening the door, his eyes widened in surprise when he saw who is the person waiting outside.“Where is my granddaughter and what did you do to her?” Cristy angrily asked her granddaughter’s gay friend. Daisy wanted to raise an eyebrow at the old woman’s accusing question. But he had a lot of respect for her, so he held back. When he saw Lovely, he no longer wondered why the old woman was exaggerating.Even if she suffered from headache, Shaina opened her eyes because of the noise interrupted her sleep. She didn’t want to get up but the voice spoke again. “Stand up there you lady, right now!”Shaina jumped up when she recognized her grandmother’s voice. Surprise was registered on her face when she saw the old woman. But feeling disgusted on Lovely’s presence.“I thought you were different from your father! You’re just going to make a scandal with that gay!” Cristy furiously picked up the panties lying on the chair and threw at her granddaughter.Surprised, Daisy approached his friend. He was nervous when he realized that his friend was not wearing any underwear. “Be-besh, did I do something to you last night?” he whispered to his friend. “No, of course not. But, I’ll be honest with you.”He listen carefully. “Okay, spill it out.”“B-besh, I’m not a virgin anymore!” Shaina answered in a soft and low tone, and made sure the two couldn’t hear.Daisy’s mouth opened, but was suddenly closed when her friend’s eyes glared at him. However, his gaze indicated that she was going to explain to him later. “Gosh, why did you sleep with that gay, Shaina? What will the people know you say about it?”Shaina gave Lovely an evil look. The latter acted as if she was too concerned about her or her feminity. And for sure, Lovely was there to witness the humiliation against her. On the other hand, Daisy rolled his eyes in annoyance. Also, discomfort hovered the entire room and if the old woman wasn’t there, he would have become a complete arrogant to Lovely.“What are you waiting for? Get dress and follow us!” Cristy yelled at her again and turned away fiercely. Without a word, Shaina put on the panties she had washed last night after taking a shower. She did not know how the old woman knew that they were there to spend the night. She and Daisy left the room after getting dressed. They have already paid and she was sure that the old woman arranged their check out.Before completely walking away, Shaina glanced at the room next door. It was quiet and it looked like the tenant last night had already left. “Why?” Daisy commented to her friend who was stunned.Shaina quickly shook her head and came closer to her grandmother who was waiting in front of the elevator. They were quiet until they got down to the ground floor. She was clinging to her friend’s arm when a man in a black tuxedo got in their way. “What’s wrong?” Cristy asked the man.“I’m sorry, madam, Mr. Villanova ordered the names of those coming out of this building to be taken.The aura on Cristy’s face softened when she recognized who is the man was referring to. It looks like it’s resulting some good for her grandchild to be stranded in this place. She even showed the card to the man to identify her. At this age, she is also known as a chairman of the company she owns. And Mr. Villanova is one of the most powerful people in the business world. Just like her, many wanted to meet the man personally. But unluckily, the latter was elusive and did not speak to anyone easily.“Grandma, is that man referring to is the owner of this hotel?” Lovely asked her grandmother. When the old man nodded she was ‘wow’.Shaina just listened to the conversation between the two. Her grandmother doesn’t want to pay attention to her and Daisy has separated from her. The old woman forbade him to come near her while the scandal she allegedly committed has not yet been resolved. After arriving at the mansion, Shaina was not surprised when she found her unfaithful boyfriend there.“Rex, I’m really sorry for what my cousin did. I don’t know what she ate and was able to trade you for a gay. What’s worse is that he squandered the money you saved for your wedding.” Lovely looked sad.Shaina felt the blood rush to her head due to anger. She rushed to her cousin and tweaked her hair. “You bitch, don’t turn everything upside down!” “Ahhhh, ouch! Grandma, help me!” Lovely looked defeated and screamed while stopping her cousin’s hand from pulling her hair.“What the hell, Shaina! Don’t hurt your cousin!” Shaina ignore the old woman’s hand from striking her arm. She wanted to pour out all her anger on her cousin today that she didn’t do yesterday. She didn’t want to let go of her hair. But someone squeezed her wrist. It even shook her so that she fell down and hit her back on the sofa. Pain flashed in her eyes when she saw that Rex had done it.“Won’t you stop bringing shame to this family, Shaina? You should thank your cousin because she begged Rex to let me pick you up at the hotel!”Shaina was almost deafened by the strength of her grandmother’s voice. She burst into tears of resentment and did not even ask an explanation before being judged. Well, this is how her grandmother is. Since her father is worthless, so in her eyes, she should be treated the same way. Her cousins are the only ones she likes and she is like a stain on their family. The old woman considered her father a headache to her. In addition to that, her mother was also allegedly picked up from the mud by her son.“Mama, what did you do to my daughter?” Shaina began to cry when she recognized her father’s voice. It looks like he came from somewhere with some random girls again. Even so, her father loves her somehow. He doesn’t want her to leave the mansion so that her grandmother will like her, too. Turns out, she was just expecting the clouds to kiss the ground.“What the hell? And it’s your fault that your daughter is acting like that! She is just exactly like you, both wasting their life. I have been happy knowing she’s in a relationship with Rex. But she only ruined a bright future for her! What’s even more shameful is that he used that money—”“It’s not my fault that our relationship broke!” Shaina interrupted the old woman’s litany, “It’s that woman’s fault why I did what I shouldn’t have done!” Lovely released her hooked hand on Rex’s arm when their grandmother’s gaze suddenly turned to her. She got nervous and maybe the woman would believe it. What she wanted was to convince her grandmother that Shaina was the first to cheat on Rex. She didn’t want the old woman to get angry with Rex and then she come out as a thief.“It’s because of that girl that I thought of wasting the money that was meant for our wedding! They’re cheating on me, grandma! I caught them yesterday in bed!” Her eyes were blur from tears.“Is what my daughter is saying true, Lovely?” Gabriel angrily asked his niece.Shaina clenched her fists and wanted to punch her cousin. And Rex looks even gayer than Daisy right now, that hiding in Lovely's shadow and pretending to be a victim like her cousin.Cristy grabbed her forehead and suddenly got a headache.Gabriel quickly approached his mother and helped her sit on the sofa. “Shaina, it’s okay. Go to your room first and it’s not good for your grandmother to get so angry.” Shaina was also worried about her grandmother’s health and felt sorry for her. But before she turned her back, Lovely’s parents and her sister arrived. They seem to be from the church.“What did you do and Mama is like this?” Troy said angrily to his brother and quickly wiped his mother’s sweaty forehead. “Daddy!” Crying, Lovely approached her father and hugged him.Confused, Troy looked at his niece and daughter who were both in tears. Disgruntled, Shaina looked away from her uncle. The only person who considered her a true family member seems to have a different view of her now. Her uncle is kind but his wife is greedy and that’s where her cousins maybe inherit.“Let’s talk about this carefully, whatever trouble is going on,” Troy said calmly after giving his mother some medicine. Shaina didn’t explain anymore because she know he wouldn’t believe her either. She has no evidence as proof. And about her? She is in the act for allegedly betraying Rex. And now, everyone is ashamed of her for being with a gay. Her father is also quiet and seems to believe in her cousin as well.Dissapointed, Troy stared at his niece when he heard everything from his daughter. “My family will also be ashamed if the news spreads that I was exchanged for a gay.” If the stare was poisonous, Shaina was sure that Rex’s mouth was already foaming. It seems that it is also infected with the rotten personality of her cousin. Everyone sympathizes with the young man’s feelings and she turns out to be a fraud.“No one else should know!” The old woman said finally. Lovely couldn’t help but stare at the woman. Instead of being happy, Shaina was secretly embarrassed. She was no longer surprised by her grandmother’s decision. The family’s reputation is more important here than her feelings.Rex looked confused at the old woman but was unable to speak.“I apologize for what my granddaughter did to you. I know she also contributed somehow to your savings that she spent. I will pay for that and increase your share in my company, in exchange for your silence.”Rex was insulted and it was as if the old woman was paying for the dignity of his manhood. But on the one hand, what he wants to happen is in his favor. Yes, he was the first one to cheat. And it’s better for him not to be caught that he is also having an affair with her other granddaughter.Shaina frowned as she stared at Rex. She was a fool and she loved someone like this. She did not see his true motive in having a relationship with him. Yes, his family is also rich but like her, his own family also looks down on him. Rex wants to prove something in the business field and doesn’t lean on his family. He became a shareholder in her grandmother’s company because of her.“I will also be ashamed if this news comes out.” Rex seemed to have no other choice. “Why not just send Shaina to another country? Let’s just say that there is no love between her and Rex because of their long distance relationship. Then there will be no issues afterwards,” Angeline suggested.Everyone looked at her. Shaina even saw her grandmother’s smile and was amazed at the intelligence of her other cousin, Angeline. She closed her eyes tightly and increased her anger towards her cousins. They will really find a way to get her out of the mansion and so that she can distant herself from their grandmother.“What my daughter thought was a good idea. One more thing is that what happened to you with that gay might pay off and—” Troy couldn’t continue what else he wanted to say when Shaina interrupted.“You all should be mad at me but don’t involve my friend in this! He didn’t do anything bad to me and even if he’s gay, he’s not a coward and exploitative!” Shaina felt that she suddenly had a heart attack and was overcome with anger. Se shot Rex an insulting look and she knew he was hit by her last words. “Shaina, don’t raise your voice in front of your grandmother,” Gabriel scolded his daughter.Shaina stood up angrily and spoke firmly. “I’m willing to leave but remember,” she said and looked at Rex. “You will regret what you did to me!” Rex quickly averted his eyes from Shaina’s sharp gaze on him. A part of his heart was saddened by the knowledge that he would not see her again for the next few days.“My dear, I will send you abroad not because I rejected you or I’m disappointed in you. I just want you to be far from shame and so you can start changing your path as well.”Shaina’s lips curled in bitterness as she listened to her grandmother carefully. And no matter what the old woman said, she was still upset with her. Even to her father that until this time, she’s unable to talk to him. But perhaps the best she can make is to accept the truth that she lost almost eveything— her boyfriend, her virginity. And now, she’s about to leave the country to save her family’s reputation.Cristy sighed without getting an answer from her granddaughter. “One day you will understand me, too. I don’t want you to put on your father’s shoe. Look at how miserable he is now. It's because I gave him everything he wanted.”Somehow, Shaina’s anger towards the old woman lessened. But she still doesn’t want to speak. She just let her express and explain her thoughts. Besides, it was too obvious that she
“Sir, Miss Cheska’s mother is calling again,” Teddy informed Travis.Interrupted by his assistant’s voice, Travis took his mind off from reminiscing. Then, he glance at Teddy with a wrinkled forehead.“You talk to her. Make up a story, it’s up to you.” Teddy rubbed the back of his neck and his appearance was as if as his age suddenly doubled. Of course, he was left with no choice but to follow orders, especially when his dominant boss turned his back. Before answering Cheska’s mother’s call, Teddy prepare his ears from whatever he might hear.“What took you so long to pick up the phone? Don’t you know me that’s why you’re ignoring my calls? Where is your arrogant boss?” Teddy slightly moved the device he was holding away from his ear due to the loudness of the lady’s voice. He is the one who answers Travi’s calls, so he encountered different person over the phone, yet his experience with Cheska’s mother was different. Apart from her VIP feeling, her shrill voice hurts his ears. How
Shaina saddened with her current situation despite of always going out with her grandmother’s cousin. Then a few weeks later, she moved out to her own space at last. Also, she started working as a graphic designer in a new built company. Shaina didn’t want to rely on her relatives, so she thought this was a good start to her life abroad. She likes to create, edit and analyze.In the Philippines, even if she’d like to, she couldn’t use her talent in their company because of her cousin who have been overshadowing her. Unlike here, she has the freedom to show all of her knowledge. “You did an excellent job!” The company’s president was very happy for Shaina. It’s been just over a month since she was accepted at work, and the company has already made a lot of profit because of her skill. Their clients from commercial companies and others immediately increased and improved.Shaina shyly smiled at the man. She was suddenly embarrassed by her admiration. The president and most of her compa
“What does this mean, Lovely?" Cristy angrily threw the picture in front of her granddaughter. The girl’s eyes widened when she saw the picture, with Rex. She didn't know how they were photographed by someone without her awareness. She and Rex were carefully hiding when seeing each other and they rarely went out. But right now, she can't deny their relationship because they were kissing on the photo. It’s more than a year has passed but they still haven’t told the old woman regarding their secret relationship. “Then what Shaina was saying was all true!"To defend herself, Lovely quickly shook her head and grabbed the palm of the woman who was shaking with anger. “Grandma, you're thinking wrong. I'm sorry if Rex and I fell in love with each other, but we only had a relationship just recently. Rex was hurt a lot and heartbroken because of what Shaina did and I'm helping him to move on and forget her. That's all, grandma." Cristy gently shook her head and sat weakly on the chair. She
Joshua also got a private room for his grandfather and admitted him to ensure his health. He knows that he will not come home and that he needs to rest. There, he also decided to talk with the lawyer and the detective. “Don Lauro, you need to know that Mr. Travis left a last will and testament before this accident happened.” Ben presented first. Ben told everything about Travis’s will except about the woman. For now, no one else should know about it and the enemy might find it out and do something cruel against him.“What? How did that happen?” Martha asked the lawyer in shock and disbelief. Joshua gave his mother a meaningful look to silence her. She got his secret message and changed the subject.“I mean, he doesn’t have any other heirs—” “Maybe that’s one of the reasons why my brother made a last will and testament, Mom.” He interrupted his mother’s speech so his grandfather wouldn’t think of different meaning to her curiousity. Lauro sighed and turned his gaze to the detective.
Travis angrily threw the spoon he was holding against the wall when he didn’t like the taste of the food. It’s been a few months since he woke up from being in a coma but he can’t even remember his name. He feels that there is no improvement in his body. He is also tired of taking medicine. “Sir, you-you need to eat this first so you can take your medicine.” Unable to speak straightly, the nurse who was taking care of Travis remain requesting him to eat, but the stubborn man shooing her away. “Get out!” Travis yelled at the nurse. The door immediately opened and Joshua entered. “Brother, what’s the problem? What’s wrong?”“I want to go home!” Joshua sighed and motioned for the nurse to come out first. They are now at a private resort to be able to change his brother’s environment. But even with amnesia, Travis really doesn’t lose his dominant behaviour. If he could poison him, he would have done it. But he still needed him until he hadn’t signed the deed he wanted. Like him, her
“Is he sleeping, Mom?” Joshua asked his mother harshly.Martha closed the door at Travis’s room before motioning for her son to follow. The guests have already gone home so there is no more disturbance. Joshua followed his mother until they entered her room. After closing the door, his mother immediately spoke. “We have to change our plan and we can’t be self-assured about the medicine we are given to him.”“I noticed that his true behavior is coming back.” Joshua agreed to his mother. “We need to make him believe that he has a woman to marry. We’re going to use the document we got from Teddy.”Joshua grinned as he remembered what his mother was referring to. They actually put that aside because of their plans. And he already has a woman he can use for his brother to marry. There was a sound of Martha’s laughter after she and her son completed their plan. No one can stop them because Lauro is already in hospital abroad. Destiny and time are now in their favor. Once Travis is marrie
“Children, will you understand Mommy if I say I don’t know who your father is?” Shaina asked the twins.Before they respond after a long silence, the two exchanged glances first, then they both nodding at her later. She smiled and somehow heaved a sigh of relief. She doesn’t want to keep it a secret from her children. Another thing is that they will not stop asking a question until they gets the right answer. “Don’t worry, Mommy, we can help you find our father!” Adrian bent backward when he faced his mother. “Yes, Adrian was right, Mommy. I’m so excited to go home and find our daddy!”Suddenly, the two fell silent when they didn’t getting a response from their mother. They stared at her who just looked stunned watching at them. The twins exchanged quizzical looks, asking each other if they had said anything surprising to their mother. Shaina gulped after a minute of being quiet. Sometimes it’s really surprising how intelligent and how the children think. Especially Adrian, he see
