A Little Like Fate 29~ Haunting past
DELIA I was able to settle my sisters' debt with some part of my pay and also send them some money to keep the house running. I felt very accomplished because that trouble was off my shoulders. If they were to run into trouble again, that would be their problem. Cheerfully, I dressed for work and went out to meet Javan. I had started driving school and he also made sure to give me lessons when necessary. The only problem was that Levi hadn't shown his face to me since our last visit to grandpa Vito. It was getting to a week and I was worried. When I asked Javan about him, he said I shouldn't worry that the boss wasn't in the country. He had other businesses around the world to take care of, hence his sudden disappearance. But I was his personal assistant, I was supposed to know of his every movement. Speaking of disappearance, I hadn't seen Lyla, Shawn, or Shirin lately. It seemed everyone was vanishing one after another. Was I that much of a horrible person? Well, at least, my l
A Little Like Fate 30~ Almost died
DELIAI stared quite frightfully at the number of people around the large dining table. Grandpa Vito sure outdid himself by gathering all of his family members. I assumed his wife was no more because I had never seen her since I started going there. Levi stood up once he noticed me and came toward me with a smile on his face. He planted a kiss on my cheeks before moving his lips to my ear. "Just act normal, like every other time." He whispered and I nodded in reply. He led me to the dining area and made me sit beside him. "Good evening, everyone." I greeted. After exchanging pleasantries, we all started to eat. Since the table was full, I didn't notice Clarence on time. Our eyes met later and I instinctively looked away. I still couldn't forgive him for what he tried to do to me. He almost made me lose my job and my mind. The dinner was long but not so interesting to me because I kept spacing out. Grandpa Vito almost caught me but I diverted his suspicion by saying I was having a m
A Little Like Fate 31~ Advances
DELIA I felt the aching of my body as soon as I opened my eyes. My hands instinctively went to my head where all the pain clustered. I tried to sit up but a pair of strong hands hurled me back. I opened my eyes coming into contact with a pair of emerald green eyes. I broke the connection when I found it was Levi and instead, I looked around the room. The antiseptic scent of the room hit my nose, making me feel nauseous. I never like the smell of hospitals. Its smell was pungent to me. He moved away from me and sat back on a seat beside the bed. It was then I noticed Javan who was standing behind him. "Hey, sleepyhead." Javan smiled and walked to my side. "How are you feeling?" "Like I fell off a cliff and broke my entire system bones. I feel awful and the hospital smell isn't helping." I complained. "Well, you did fall off a cliff after you passed out in the car due to the tree accident," Javan said as though it all meant nothing. "What?" I sat up abruptly and a huge pain hit my
A Little Like Fate 32~ Regrettable kiss
DELIA Bruce was the client? My heart skipped several beats just by looking at his lowered face. His perfect figure just sat there majestically, eyes locked on his tablet. At some point, I found it hard to breathe. Levi sat down opposite him, taking a more majestic posture; his legs crossed and his eyes on his phone. Both guys were making it difficult to take in enough breaths. I felt I would suffocate and pass out from all the hotness in the air. I pulled my disheveled mind together and sat down beside Levi, making sure not to look at Bruce. "Delia?" He called out, surprised. He removed his glasses just to take a good look at me. "What are you doing here?" "I'm with him," I replied, not sparing him a glass. "Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Levi, I didn't notice you." He apologized and stood up for a shake. Levi did the same, taking their respective seats after that gesture. If only they knew what they both did to me, they would have both fled from my sight. "I believe you already know my as
A Little Like Fate 33~ Setting things right
DELIA I stood in front of Shawn's door as I contemplated whether to knock or not. I realized life was short and hiding in my comfort zone would only make me look much less like a person. I needed to set things right with both people I once called my friends. It was already the day Levi and I would be making our trip and I wanted to set things straight. I could die from depression and bankruptcy and I would love to die with a clear conscience. "You know, you could have just knocked." Lyla's voice pricked my thoughts and I jerked at her presence. How long had I been absent-minded? "Sorry, I didn't know if it was the right thing to do," I replied honestly with my gaze on the floor. "So, what are you here for?" She leaned on the door, waiting for me to answer. She was no longer the jovial Lyla I used to know. Rather, she seemed cold and distant. "Actually, I came to tell you something." My hands were shaking as I spoke. I felt uncomfortable and I felt the urge to just run away. "Th
A Little Like Fate 34~ Sharing a bed
DELIA "What... What do you mean, sir?" I tried to compose myself as much as possible. "We can't possibly go out in the snow. It's dangerous." "Do you have any other option?" He stared at me, waiting patiently for me to speak. I looked away as though I was trying to figure out something but nothing was coming to my mind. I just didn't want the situation to seem weirder than it already was. "We'll have to go out then." He said after taking my silence for a no. My mind felt at ease after he said that. I thought we were going to get comfortable by going into each other's arms. That would be been awkward. "Well, are you coming?" He was already out of the car, surveying the environment. The moment I opened the door, a cold breeze swept my face. Several strands of my hair began dancing with the wind, making it difficult to see through them. I got to Levi's side of the car and stood a few feet apart. "Where are we headed first?" I shouted. The storm was making loud noises, I had to sh
A Little Like Fate 35~ The confession
LEVIMy ears caught the sound of a vibrating phone and my eyes flung open immediately. Was it mine? I pushed my hand under the pillow where I had kept it and found it the vibration wasn't coming from mine. It had to be Delia's. As I moved closer to get the phone, she turned, making some noises. Her hand got to the phone before me and she checked the caller. She sprang up, staring dreadfully at the screen. She turned to me but I closed my eyes before she could notice I was awake. She slowly crept out of bed and with one last glance at me, she walked into the small balcony. Was she planning some kind of resistance against me? Or was that a threatening call? I quietly got out of bed too and walked towards the door leading to the balcony, hiding the sound of my footsteps under the rug. "Why won't you just leave me and my family alone? I said I will pay you. Don't you get the fact that I'm trying to raise the money?" She asked sternly. This seems interesting. I couldn't hear what the
A Little Like Fate 36~ Mr. Anderson wants me
DELIA The softness of where I lay made me moan as I turned in my sleep. My body was so relaxed and it felt as though I was sleeping on a cloud. I stretched my arms widely and they landed softly. I raised my hand a little and it touched a fluffy pillow. My eyes darted open and I found myself in a dimly lit room and on a soft mattress. Where was I? Had we already arrived at Levi's place? How long have I been asleep? Those questions lingered on my mind as I got off the bed. I turned the doorknob and it opened. I appeared in a long hallway, not knowing where to enter. The hallway had many divisions. Why didn't sir Levi wake me up when we got here? After some minutes, I found a staircase that led to the down floor. I hurriedly went down in hopes I would see somebody but when I got to the living room, I didn't see anybody. Was I alone in this big place? I began to panic when I went to the kitchen and still didn't find anybody. I thought of calling Levi, and that was when I realized I
