LXXI: More of a Funeral
These people obviously had no idea why her ticket got canceled in the first place, or someone knew about it, but they were deliberately trying to cover it up.
Either way, there was no way she could board that plane now.
Maya sighed and asked instead, “Fine. Can you at least book me a flight on the next plane? I’m willing to wait. Just, please. Please do.”
“Sure, I think I can definitely do that, but can you wait until all the passengers are gone? I’m sure they’ll be late if I deal with you first.” The woman insisted, so Maya stepped aside, letting the rest of the passengers go inside, feeling envious of their good luck. The passengers shot her a look as if she was a brat or something.
Maya glanced as the final passenger boarded the plane. She wanted to be on that plane too. She wanted to leave too, but there she was, stuck to waiting again.
Maya can’t seem to leave, and nothing seems to go her way. It

“She?” Alexander kept thinking for a long but still didn’t have any meaning for his grandmother’s words.“See, I told you, you were stupid. I’m talking about Maya. She left,” she said, glaring at him.As the words started to sink again, Maya watched as all the colors drained from her grandson’s face.He suddenly stood up, his expression unreadable. “What do you mean, she left? Where did she go?” Alexander asked. His voice was noticeable higher, as if he was unable to keep his calm any longer.Sicilia released a heavy sigh once more. She then bitterly said, “Did you not hear what I said? Maya left. She already took her things and went to the airport. I tried to stop her, but...” The elderly woman shook her head sadly.There was a long silence between them. Who knows how long Alexander was silent when he asked. “Why?” The question was more of a whisper, and he w
The Tycoon's Matchmaker LXIII: Maybe It's Fated
Maya, still stuck in Russia with her flight canceled, felt defeated. No matter what she thought of, she couldn’t find a plausible reason as to why this was happening to her. All she knew was she was stuck there, and there was nothing she could do. Maya was definitely in a bad situation.The woman in charge tried to sympathize with her. She glanced at Maya and said with concern, “Once again, I’m really sorry, I just… I tried my best.”Maya was so frustrated, but she knew she could not blame the woman in charge. She was just that unlucky to be in a bad situation with airports most of the time.“I know,” Maya sadly said before she took a deep breath to calm down, else she would start sobbing. When she felt better, she smiled and said gratefully, “I know you did. Thank you. Sorry for taking too much of your time.”Maya clenched her fist. What was she going to do now?There seems to be no solution&m
The Tycoon's Matchmaker LXXIV: Pedro
Dan seemed to surprise, even when he asked, “Why? Would you like to see me every day?”Yet before Maya could even say anything as she was considering her options, a man suddenly sat in front of her leaving her surprised and somewhat furious.The man shot Dan a look that made Dan gulped and said, “Okay, call me whenever you’re ready to order.”As soon as Dan left, Maya’s eyes were fixated on the man- it was definitely Pete.The striking resemblance made it so obvious. Maya shivered in fear by his sudden appearance, but she gathered the courage to ask as she glared at him, “What are you doing here, Pete?The man across her smirked, he had the same face as Pete, but for some reason, Maya felt like it wasn’t really him. The man finally met Maya’s gaze and replied, “You called me Pete again. I told you I’m not Pete.”Maya squinted her eyes in disbelief. She asked passively, &
The Tycoon's Matchmaker LXXV: Forced To Cooperate
Pedro immediately snatched the piece of paper from the waiter’s hand and crumpled it, and he said as he was smirking at Maya, “She won’t be needing that. She has me.” The waiter left, and the two continued on with their meal. Maya examined the cuisine; she was looking at its composition and elements. It looked really appetizing. The harmony is there, and as soon as she tasted it, Maya felt satisfied. She remarked out of excitement, “French cuisine is really one of a kind.” Maya was smiling from ear to ear, which Pedro remarked as soon as he saw her smiling, “Ah, so you can smile.” Maya looked away and denied, “I wasn’t smiling. That was… the sun. I was squinting.” “Squinting.” Pedro sarcastically remarked, “Sure.” Maya, despite the fact that she believed what Pete had said- that Pedro was a good man; she was still vigilant against Pedro. Around him, Maya felt like she needed to keep her guard up no matter what. However, as she
The Tycoon's Matchmaker LXXVIL: For Now
“You don’t have to keep me here.” Maya looked away, “I have no intentions of coming back to steal him from your sister.”Maya was disgusted by what just came out of her mouth. Steal? Maya thought, what an odd thing to say since Alexander was hers first and Stephanie was just some political marriage pawn. Still, Maya knew she couldn’t compete.“Then we won’t have any problems if that’s the case.” Pedro remarked, “You see, I… love my sister more than anything in this world, and so, anyone who would try to hurt her shall suffer tenfold the pain inflicted on my sister. Don’t even think about it.”Maya scoffed, “Of course. You kept me stuck here, after all. What could I possibly do?”Maya knew it wasn’t wise to argue with Pedro about Stephanie because, from the looks of it, Pedro seemed to spoil his sister big time. Maya heard rumors about how Stephanie was t
The Tycoon's Matchmaker LXXVII: Semi-Hostage
After the dream, Maya had realized that she was in a new, unfamiliar room. She looked outside through the window but could not recognize where she was. Everything was strange. She walked to the door, tried opening it, but it was locked from outside.“Hello. Is anyone there? Hello,” she said, banging the door. It seemed she had not eaten for a long time because she didn’t even have the energy to bang the door for long.Where the fuck am I? Why am I here? she asked herself, looking through whatever was in the room.She then recalled what she did yesterday before sleeping. Or who was she with,Her eyes narrowed in annoyance. There was part of her that already know what was going on or who was the culprit. Who else, other than Pedro?The dude locked me up? Maya thought, fuming inside. With that in mind, she started planning his demise. The only thing that was stopping her from yelling bloody murder was that at least
The Tycoon's Matchmaker LXXVIII: Bi-Polar
Maya almost trembled from fright. She yelped as soon as her back hit the wall forcefully. Nevertheless, she would not easily back down. Thus, with all her strength, she stepped on his foot.Pedro groaned in pain but did not let her go completely. He was glaring at her when he removed his hand from covering her mouth.“You’re going to break my limbs!” Maya said as soon as he let him talk while glaring at him murderously.She was trying hard to push Pedro off her, but he was obviously stronger.Thankfully, he lessened his grip further. “You are courageous, Maya,” he said with a grin, but his eyes were looking at her coldly.Maya continued to glare at him, not showing any signs of backing down. She gathered her strength and pushed him away. This time she was successful.However, Maya was still cautious. “Stay away from me, or I will tell Pete,” she said as she continued to look at him with all the anger
The Tycoon's Matchmaker LXXIX: Unfair
It wasn’t cold, but she was feeling cold because of the spite she was receiving from people.So unfair.Probably, because of her recent situation, Maya was feeling even more melancholic, to the point of being depressed.She bitterly smiled as she summed up her situation. It was truly unfair. Yes, that was really the case, but she really did hate that word so much. That was a word that Maya was very familiar with. Damn, she grew up at first thinking that even though she knew that, she just needed to suck it up and get over it.It was something that she needed to accept.Why? Because she was an orphan.When one grew up in a place that one needed to be obedient to be able to get a good family to adopt you, there were things that she needed to deal with. Most of it was unfair, especially when the older kids would treat you as a competitor.Maya could not count how many times she had suffered in that place. She thought that
