Chapter 14
EINILLE quietly settled on the passenger’s seat. Vale concentrated on driving beside her. He would give her a furtive glance from time to time. He appeared lost in his thoughts
“Are you still uncomfortable with me?” Vale broke his silence.
“It's not like that. I’m just conscious because I’m reeking of gunpowder.”
“Don’t worry, no one will smell you. I won’t do it either.” He giggled.
“Crazy! Where are we going to eat?”
“I know somewhere. By the way, are you still on a diet? Because the last time you told me you’re into intermittent fasting.”
“Intermittent fasting is not a diet, but an eating schedule. Besides, I’m not worried even if I gained weight. Is that a problem?”
“Of course not. You’re still pretty even if you gained weight. It won’t change the fact that I like you.” Vale’s eyes still on the road, “Being confident is the new sexy,” he added
Einille swallowed and cleared her throat. Vale had always been straightfo

“IF I hadn’t heard about what happened to you and Vale, I would’ve scolded you for forgetting Uncle Ricky’s birthday. Are you sure you’re all right now?” Shari said while they were having their dinner. At this moment, Einille was feeling better. Thanks to Vale, who stayed at her side when she almost broke down in shock. Although her marksmanship skill was impeccable, it was her first real encounter. Since the day she entered the service, she was usually in her office in the Crime Laboratory. What happened earlier gave her body a chill. She knew this would happen and thank the heavens she survived unscathed. “Don’t worry. I’ll get used to this. This is a part of our job.” She reassured her cousin. “So, it won’t bother you attending the birthday party tomorrow?” “We can’t say no to our uncle. The only problem I had in mind is the dress for the party.” “Consider it solved. I bought a few formal dresses.” Shari proudly said. “I’ll

THEY reached the venue after almost half an hour. It was located on her uncle’s private resort in Irosin.There were a lot of visitors. Shari and Kyler were waiting for them. They were on the veranda, then the celebrant came and greeted the two.“Uncle Ricky, Happy Birthday!” Einille greeted her uncle when they reached his location.“Einille, darling. Thank God you made it here.” The old man beamed. He exchanged hands with Vale, who greeted him, too.“That’s impossible, Uncle. How could I forget?” she sweetly held his arms and exchanged more pleasantries. But she casually distanced herself when her cousin, Meja, was going in their direction with a wineglass in hand.“Einille, Shari! My dearest cousins.” Meja greeted them by kissing on their cheeks. She appeared tipsy, and maybe she had been drinking since earlier.Meja looked at Kyler and Vale, and she couldn’t h

DAYS had passed, and Einille expected Vale to show himself after what happened at the party. Although he tried to reach her via call, she didn’t answer. She was even more disappointed when he didn’t put in an effort to see her. But what to expect? They ended it up so badly the last time they talked. Perhaps this was the perfect time to realize that Vale was just the same man who couldn’t stay loyal.This morning, she went to work with a heavy heart. She missed Vale’s presence, but she couldn’t reach out to him. She was still perplexed about her feelings. She had to remind herself that Vale was just a nobody. She regretted the day he let him be closer to her. And now she was not used for him to be missing in action.I hate him. She gritted her teeth. They were not officially dating, yet he had shown his true color. A cheater!The thing she witnessed between Vale and Meja wouldn’t leave her mind. She didn&

EINILLE finally agreed to meet Vale’s parents. Vale sent her home to be prepared. She decided to give him another chance. He was sorry, and she forgave him. She reasoned out that nobody was perfect. She only made sure that such an incident with Meja would not happen again.She composed herself while inside the car. She was feeling uneasy. She had an idea that Vale came from a well-off family. What if his parents wouldn’t like her?Einille filled her lungs with oxygen before entering the Grefaldeo’s mansion. Vale offered his arm, and she held it tight.Their house was a three-story building with a spacious roof deck. She silently swooned to the paintings hanged inside.The helpers greeted them, and from there, she plastered a warm smile on her face.“This is my father’s ancestral house. I just had it renovated. My parents would stay here while in the Philippines. I have two other brothers, both living in C

“WITH that smile of yours, I knew something happened,” Shari said the following day while on their breakfast. She held a cigarette while drinking a black coffee, “Did you sleep with Vale last night?” she flashed a teasing smile.“No! Don’t give me that look.” She giggled.“I don’t believe you. Tell me, is Vale yummy? On a scale of one to ten, ten being the highest, where would you put him? How about the girth size?”Einille laughed, “You’re crazy. Nothing happened. And even if we did, I don’t kiss and tell.”“So, you’re keeping secrets from me.” Shari blew a cloud of smoke to her side.“I am just happy, and I deserve this, right?” she drank her tea, “How about you and Mazareno?”“We’re doing good!”“Good to hear that.”Einille told her cousin about Vale’s

VALE asked her to join in touring around the well-known tourist spots in Sorsogon. Einille was excited since she badly needed to unwind as well. Their relationship went fine so far. Vale gave her all the attention she needed even without asking for it.“Happy monthsary, Sweetheart!” Vale cheerfully greeted her when they reached the Laug Fish Sanctuary. He had food for the fish in his hand.“Monthsary? Are you serious?” she giggled. She never counted the day since they became an official couple because it was not a big deal for her.It had been a month indeed. But a monthly celebration was not her thing, except if anniversary.“This is an important day. Of course, I counted!”“Monthsary is for kids. It’s giving me bad omen that we wouldn’t reach an anniversary.”“Everything that has connections in our relationship is special.” His eyes traveled to a floating

VALE silently cursed. A black sedan had been tailing him from the restaurant where they ate. He didn’t mention it because Einille was somehow traumatized during the last shooting encounter. Whoever this bastard, the target was him not Einille.He alerted himself and snatched his gun from the compartment. He hastened the car, but the sedan caught up. He decided not to go straight home. He had to know the identity of his pursuer.Vale parked the car on the sidewalk. He assessed the situation and peered to the dashcam if someone would go out from the car behind. But it stayed at a safe distance from his location.He immediately called Rab and asked for a reinforcement. He waited a bit longer until he noticed the black sedan pulled over and left. Its driver must have had grasped that he called for an aid. Because after a few minutes, two patrol cars came and police big bike where Rab rode.“What happened?” Rab sounded worried.
