I'm not giving you another one."."I miss Amy, and I miss you too."."You're the one who left me, Ken, what made you think I will take you back that easily?"."You've always been this stubborn and annoying, Aria."."It's a good thing that I haven't blocked your number yet, Ken!". "I will try to find you, and then I WILL take Amy with me."."You're fucking crazy, she has been with me ever since she was born!"."But I'm her father!"."I will never give you a chance to meet her, you deadbeat! She will never want to be with you!"."I'm still trying to stay calm here, Aria, don't make me come and get you too."."Go on, if you can find me."."Oh, I will."."You never will.".I stopped the conversation as I hung up the phone.."Mommy, why are you so angry?

The sun had just begun to rise on a Sunday morning, casting a soft glow across the room as I stood by the kitchen counter, carefully pouring cereal into a bowl for Amy. Our breakfast, especially on Sunday morning, was always a silent routine and a serene step to start the day. We enjoyed this quiet moment together, and I wished I would have moments like this with Amy forever. Remarkably, Amy also had been up early as well, her energy matching the sun's motion of rising..As we ate, the world outside seemed to stir with a hushed quietness, the chirping of birds providing a gentle soundtrack to our shared solitude. I couldn't help but notice the way the sunlight played upon Amy's face, illuminating her features like a painter's brushstrokes. She caught me gazing and smiled, her eyes sparkling with a mix of playfulness and something deeper, something that hinted at hopes and dreams..As we continued to have our breakfast, the soft morning light filtered through the curtains; which creat

As the bus approached the stop, I could already discern his presence near the roadside. His motorcycle, a sleek black machine, rested just a few paces away, and I knew this was our meeting point. With a mix of anticipation and a hint of nerves, I prepared to disembark from the bus, my daughter Amy by my side..The bus came to a halt with a soft sigh of air brakes, and I leaned over to Amy, who was peering out the window with wide-eyed curiosity. "Amy, it's time to get off the bus," I said with a smile, my voice laced with excitement. Her face lit up as she turned to me, a tangle of enthusiasm and wonder in her expression..Gathering our bags, we made our way down the aisle, Amy clutching her stuffed bear tightly. Stepping out onto the pavement, the crisp morning air surrounded us, carrying the promise of a brand new day. Amy's grip on my hand was firm, her steps a mix of eagerness and shyness..Walking toward him, my heart raced as I watched him turn to us, a welcoming grin spreadin
The Secret Lover (CEO Love Story) Chapter Fourteen - Pondering
I was laid off work for two weeks. I needed to earn money so I could feed myself and Amy. Harrison offered to pay for everything, but I declined every single offer of his. I was still able to earn money myself, I wouldn't want to mooch money off him. .I started to look for freelance work online. I was hoping to get some work that was not long-term. I only needed the side jobs for two weeks, too. .I searched and searched, but none of them caught my attention. That being said, none of them : A.) pays well or B.) had a job desk that suited to my skills..Sigh..I threw my body to the couch, but I suddenly remembered to contact either Kanika or Zoe. They were my flatmates at the building I used to live in..Kanika is a freelance worker, so she usually works from home in front of her laptop and devices. Zoe works in a job-searching company. She usually assists people online and help them find the jobs most suitable in accordance to their skills..I tried to call Kanika first.."Hel
The Secret Lover (CEO Love Story) Chapter Fifteen - Amy, Amy, and Amy.
The next morning, I sent the email that I have typed the night before through my phone. Then I got out of bed to make breakfast for me and Amy. I was thinking of making pancakes and waffles with whipped cream and fruits such as strawberry, blueberry, and mango as the toppings..I opened the kitchen cabinet. Since I first moved here, the contents of the cabinet haven't really reduced a lot. When I first moved here, the cabinets were well-filled with all kinds of food, canned fruits, canned meats, canned beans. It is hard to mention them all one by one. The refrigerator was also stocked up until the door was difficult to open..The food stock in the fridge was used up quite a lot, because I cooked almost all of them already. They were all organic and extra fresh. Harrison truly knew how to pick the right vegetables and food products. But hey, who knows, maybe he had his assistants picked out and bought them for him..I took out some flour, sugar, butter, eggs, a cup of milk, and cream
The Secret Lover (CEO Love Story) Chapter Sixteen - Hello, Mrs Catrin!
Stepping out of the elevator, I picked up my pace towards the exit of the posh apartment building. Harrison, always ready to assist, had arranged a driver to take me to the job interview spot, but today I was in the mood for some independence..This spacious lobby exuded luxury, the kind that screams "wealthy residents." I lived in its irony. It was funny enough that I was jobless when I moved in. It was even funnier that I was applying for a personal home assistant AKA butler now. Rich had never been my middle name. Alas, I was still able to trudge here and there in this luxurious lobby. I made my way through, a mix of nerves and determination propelling me forward. This job interview was a game-changer, a chance to shift gears and steer my life in a new direction. Hopefully, it would open new opportunities for me and Amy. I wanted to do more than just this, especially for my beloved daughter..As I stepped into the fresh air outside, I took a deep breath, mentally gearing up for wh
The Secret Lover (CEO Love Story) Chapter Seventeen Pt 1 - Meeting the Suitor
Ah. I woke up in such a drowsy state, Amy was shaking my body with such great power.."Mommy! Mommy! Wake up!!!"."Huh...?"."Wake uuuup! You told me you're going to work at 9 AM!!!"."Okay... Amy... I'll be up in a bit..."."Mommy! It's 8.30 AM already!!!".Hearing what Amy said made me jump out from my bed.."Oh my goodness, I am going to be late!!!".I quickly ran to the bathroom to wash my face and freshen up a little. I also needed to do my bathroom business for a bit because I could feel the call of nature. I brushed my teeth and washed my face very quickly. I applied a two-way cake on my face, then I proceeded to apply my peach-colored lipstick. No matter how late I was running, I needed to look as fresh as possible..Time was slipping away faster than my mascara dries, but I refused to look like I just crawled out of bed. A glance at the clock gave me a reality check, but hey, a little makeup magic can go a long way. Ready or not, world, here I come, slightly rushed bu
The Secret Lover (CEO Love Story) Chapter Seventeen Pt 2. - Meeting the Suitor
I was out there for what felt like forever, just loitering around beside those towering gates. The sun was doing its thing, blazing down, and I could feel the heat on my skin. The city's usual hustle and bustle were distant background noises that I could hear even from the far distance. People sure were busy everyday. Every person is unique because they are thriving in their own business. There is one thing that they do in unison though, contributing to the economy of the city, and striving to provide for the living of each their own; maybe even for their families..Standing beside those massive gates, I was playing the waiting game. How long was this wait supposed to be? And could I even get inside without Mrs. Catrin saying it was okay? She wasn't around, which added to the uncertainty..About forty minutes ticked by, and with each passing minute, I felt more and more unsure. Should I make a call to confirm? Or maybe this was a patience test? Overthinking was just turning my stomac
