This will be the end everyone! If you ever reach this part, thank you so much and have a nice day! I'm not pro in writing but I hope you gave me a chance to improve in this platform day by day. I hope to see you again in my next book, hopefully, within this year too. That's all!
I wake up in a strange room with a severe headache. The light streaming in through the window almost blinded me, adding to my headache. I had anticipated this because I had drunk myself to death the night before. What I didn't expect was to wake up somewhere other than the condo I had recently purchased. Last night was the most amazing event that has ever happened to me. For the first time, I felt liberated. Who'd have guessed that freedom would taste so good that I came close to touching it last night? If Father had known, he would have beaten me to death, but he can't touch me now because I've already left. Which is the most intelligent decision I've ever made. The room's door slid open. A woman in her forties walked in. Two younger maids were following her, their heads downcast. They were holding baskets and white blankets. Because I didn't recognize them, I frowned. And, by the way, where exactly am I? "Good that you're awake. Please stand up and join your husband and son in t
What a bad idea to challenge someone with the wrong sword. I can’t believe my father has finally abandoned me. Instead of living the life I wanted, I was stuck in a place where I shouldn’t have been. When the man called my father, he denied me. He denied having a daughter. He said that he has no idea who I am. That shattered my heart and made me despise him even more than I already did. I recall that night before I ran away from home. I'd returned home after a long day at work. My father was the president and I was the finance director. I enjoy my job, which is why my father's announcement that I would be promoted from finance director to vice president caused me a great deal of distress. I live a lavish lifestyle. My life was everything but ordinary. I was homeschooled until I finished high school. I was highly guarded throughout college, so I definitely don’t have a life to enjoy. My relationship has always been kept private. I was Andro Ympress’s perfect daughter. He had high
“I’ll help make breakfast,” I simply say. They were all surprised, particularly Gigi and Hana. “All right,” Manang Tess said, rolling her eyes. “Serve your husband.” The meal I’ll prepare is primarily for myself, but I’ll add enough for everyone. Acting as if I were a resident of the house is awkward. I know that I am just a visitor here. That’s how I dealt with myself. Just like a guest. Even though they all claim that I am Veronica, I do not consider myself to be her. I inquired, “Do you have a ready-mix pancake box?” and walked straight to the cupboards to look. Because there was a child in the house, I suppose they have. Not that adult doesn’t eat that kind of food though. When I saw a box, I grabbed it and went to get a large bowl. I combined all of the remaining ingredients. Gigi wanted to assist me, but I refused because they were already preoccupied with other tasks. Pancakes are also simple to prepare. Cooking was one of the skills I needed to master in order to be my
"Wait! Where are you going to take me?" I attempted to free myself from his grip, as he proceeded to tug my arm elsewhere. We were walking down a familiar corridor. It's the corridor leading to the master bedroom. What does this man have planned for me?! "I was just kidding! Don't take it seriously!" I said puzzled as we neared the room. I can't give up now, oh my god! Being with him was wrong since it was a sin and against the law! He dragged me inside the room and closed the door behind me. He leaned against the door and slammed it shut. In fear, I close my eyes tightly. Shit! What did I get myself in? He asked softly but forcefully, “You truly love testing my patience, huh?” When I opened my eyes, I was struck by how close his face was to mine. My eyes widened even more as I noticed his lustful eyes! The darkness made it difficult for me to see him! I could feel the heat radiating from his body, and the smell of his apparently exquisite scent made my mind almost roll! My body
"Hey, let's talk." I stopped Karious from climbing up the stairs. We finished eating and I actually waited to talk to him.He raised an eyebrow and looked at me. "For what?""About me? I mean I have some questions for you. I hope you wouldn't mind.""Fine. Let's go to my room."“Huh?” I exclaimed, a little offended“You want to talk about it here?” he asked, his smile hidden behind his lips.I locked my gaze on him. Although the jerk is wise, I am wiser.“I mean, we should talk in your office, not in your room,” I said as I led him up the stairwell."For what?" he pondered."What for? Because you're a flirt!"He smirked at my remark. "Don't blame me for something I didn't do. It's you who—" Aist! And he has the audacity to bring it up again."Shut up!" I exclaimed, my cheeks flushing with heat.He laughed and said, "...push me to the bed..." I lock my gaze on him."It doesn't matter whether we converse in my room. You're my pretend wife, remember?" He softly reminded me. “I don’t reme
I couldn’t believe it. I recall the day I moved into my condo for the first time. Three weeks do not appear to have passed. It was as if I’d never been lost and it was last night when the incident happens in the bar. Yesterday, I fell asleep while waiting for him. He had not yet returned home at one o’clock in the evening. He hardly looked at me when I woke up that morning. As if I were a gust of wind. You can sense it, but you won’t bother it. It makes me feel disappointed however I know couldn’t do anything to change as it was my decision to leave. Karious took me back to my unit after breakfast. Our journey included a lot of silence, something I wasn’t used to. We are constantly arguing and fighting. Today, however, was not one of those days. Karious doesn’t look at me or talk to me, thus I believe he despises me. His gaze was fixed on the road as if it were the only thing worth looking at. He was so frigid, and it appeared as if he would never accept my decision, and that in or
I sat on my bed, exhausted, fumbling with my phone. What am I going to do now to get to Kariuos? Should I visit them at their home? But I’ve just returned!But this is important! Karious needs to know about his ex-wife. Now I’m certain Karious and Veronica are truly divorced since he won’t propose to me if they’re still married, and Veronica won’t marry dad's business partner if she’s still married.“I can’t leave the company because Veronica is there. If I took a leave, I doubt if I will still have a job when I come back. And hell! Her status is even higher than mine!” I tweak my hair because of frustration.When I returned, I assumed that everything would be back to normal. I had no idea I’d be dealing with an even bigger issue! And the source of the problem was none other than Veronica, who was also Karious’ biggest issue.For hours, I just stared at the ceiling of my room. When the doorbell of my condo rang, I was brought back to reality.I get out of bed. “Who the hell was that?
When Veronica returned from her rendezvous, it was almost lunchtime. She arrived carrying a pizza box. I wasn’t in the office because I’m having a conversation with my office employees.“Sister, I’ve received your lunch. Pizza, really? This isn’t healthy, and it’ll harm your body. I suggest you change your habits.”I was initially perplexed by what she was saying. I felt like pinching her like a lice when I comprehended what she meant.I responded flatly, “I didn’t order pizza.”She pretended to be surprised. “Is it true? It’s in your name, and I paid for it so the delivery man wouldn’t have to wait downstairs any longer,” she added. “But if you don’t want to because you’re afraid your coworkers will find out about your unhealthy habit, I guess I’ll simply give this to someone who needs it,” she shrugged and walked away cheerfully.As I stare at her, my brow furrows. Attention seeker! As if she was noticeable. Eww!I let out a sigh of irritation as she walked away. I bet she actually
