Blood and Darkness Chapter 97: Almost Burned
I picked up the cellphone and texted Kuya Edu, ignoring the ending game. With just the cheer of the crowd, I didn’t even have to look at the scores. "Are you going home then?" I asked Janice. "Yes. I already texted our driver. But let's greet Ramsey first," he said softly as if I wanted that too. The people have already left. Others stayed and approached the field itself to congratulate the winners. I held on tightly to the strap of the hat bag me by Janice. He collided with something else and seemed to know, but when he saw me he immediately backed away. I looked at the surroundings. Everyone is busy. The players were sweaty and still had a bit of fun. Some of the Albeda players even congratulated them. Kirk happened to see me. He waved and called my name loudly, so most looked at me. Fortunately, Janice took advantage of the situation to get her cousin's attention. Rustov was wiping away the sweat as we approached. His eyes drifted to his cousin, then to me, which took a bit lo
Blood and Darkness Chapter 98: Had Enough
Aunt Gracia made me sit down. I even saw Rustov’s friends. Bon, Lukas and Jethro are at the same table with a few female kabatch. He also has a few relatives on his mother's side. The adults were drinking and videotaping.All I hear is laughter and excitement. It's not like every time we attend parties that are all about business. I realized their life is really different from ours. The simplicity and happiness can easily be seen.Coming out, Rustov was called by friends. But instead of going there and sitting down he went to the big table and got some food. Holding a plate and a glass of juice, I was surprised when he went to me after."You should eat," he said after pulling a chair."Thanks," I said, glancing at his friends who were also a bit surprised at what he did. The girl with a brown hair stared at me darkly."Is that your girlfriend?" I asked, chewing."Huh?"He traced my line of sight. I turned to her and she immediately turned her eyes back to me as well."She looks at us
Blood and Darkness Chapter 99: Celebration
"Is Thiago busy too?" I asked Rustov as our staff unloaded the leathers.He nodded. "Every summer and there are only occasions when they come home."Well, I've heard of that. His two siblings are both studying in Manila so he only came home once. I've known those two since I was a kid. As often as seen at social gatherings. When they were in high school, they left Manila for maybe a bigger university."Let's go to the office first. I prepared a snack," I said and glanced at the workers."Okay," he replied low.“Ate Dulce,” I called. "You're here first."She nodded. I was ahead of the walk. Some of our female workers drifted their eyes at my back. I knew immediately what they were looking at. I was about to tell them to focus on their works, but I restrained myself. I might just look worse.Entering the office, I gestured to him the chair. There is food ready on the small table in the middle."I thought your Mommy was going to meet me," he said as he sat down."Same as I thought it wou
Blood and Darkness Chapter 100: Your Fault
I was about to walk when he suddenly grabbed my forearm and accompanied me across the road. I turned to him and watched how he watched both sides of the street while holding my wrist gently.He just let me go when I stopped at the lined food stalls in front of the plaza."Have you had dinner yet?" he asked.About that. I forgot earlier because I annoyed him. Now I just remembered.His gaze deepened without me saying a word."You didn't, did you?""I had a snack at the factory! I'm not hungry, so I forgot about it ...""And you even planned on drinking ..." His stare intensified. I was a little scared."What's the big deal about it, anyway? One more thing, it's not new to me."His chest moved up and down. The shock deepened on his forehead as if there was a big problem."I just really forgot today because I was mad at you! So it's your fault!"He shook his head."Why are you so stubborn, Audrianna ..." it sounded more like a soft plea than a question.My hair stood on end the way he me
Blood and Darkness Chapter 101: Eve of the Festival
I don’t remember when I invited a guy out. But I really want to try that kind of event again. And I only have one person in mind that I'm comfortable with except for Janice and Enzo. Just Rustov. He's not my type of company but passable.I don't know when I started feeling comfortable around him. Maybe in our little interactions. Although I know he has his own judgments of me, he doesn't treat me badly so it's okay.Rustov:What? Go out? Are you drunk, Audrey?I stopped looking for something to wear.Me:There seems to be a party in town tonight. I want to come and I want you to accompany me.His reply took a while. I had already chosen what to wear when he texted again.Rustov:I can't be with you. I'll be with my friends.I stopped and sat down on the ottoman, disappointed. I can already choose what to wear and after all, he won't let me? He knew I had no one else to be with! And what? He will be with his friends and that girl? Maybe there's something really in them?I threw the dre
Blood and Darkness Chapter 102: Under the Cold Rain
"Can you hear yourself, Mom?" I asked in disbelief. "It's okay because I will like him eventually? And for what? Because you want to gain more power? More connections? Are you that thirsty for those you are willing to sell your own daughter?"Mommy's eyes widened. She looked so much offended. He stepped closer to me, eyes angry."How dare you talk to me like that, Audrey!""It's true, Mommy! You're always dating a man, but did you hear anything from me? Daddy died but you had a man right away in less than two months, but I didn't say anything! You shoved Ate away, but I just stayed silent even I was so mad at you! But if you interfere with my life, I don't think I would just stay silent! You have no right– "A deafening slap stopped me. Tears pooled my eyes."How dare you disrespect me! You have no right to question what I'm doing! I'm just doing this for your sake! You can't afford to run all our businesses alone! Steve is capable enough to help you! He's the only one You should get
Blood and Darkness Chapter 103: Chaotic Heart
I can’t count how many times I’ve been depreciated after the oral recitation in accounting. Just the first day back of class there was a surprise recitation right away. I wasn't expecting it! I hate that old hag. Must review first before recit! I didn’t read any notes during the whole break so I couldn’t answer. I got a zero."That's okay, Drey," Janice consoled me."If I could tell Mommy to get rid of it?""Nevermind."I sighed and walked out of the room. To my annoyance, I almost shouted at the group of men who had gathered in the corridor and almost pushed on the road. They're from the other section, maybe.I would have passed by when someone had the courage to call me. Janice kissed me. I closed my eyes firmly before turning around."What?" I asked, glaring.Kabadong laughed one. "Uh, our friend would have given it to me ..."I turned to the man he was carrying. The boy looks very boyish. Tall, lean and angelic. Enter the standards of being handsome for me. But do we need more bac
Blood and Darkness Chapter 104: Maybe in Time
"Oh, all right. We still have cassava. I'll cook for you and you look thinner?""It's just a little bit," I chuckled.Tita Gracia is a very good mother, I can't help but admire her. If this is also our state, will Mommy have more time for our family? Will he also do everything Tita does? Are we still happy until now or are we still the same?My thoughts were washed away when I saw how Rustov looked at me when I entered their house. He was sitting on the sofa, with notebooks and books in front of him. Tita Gracia excused herself and went to the kitchen. He put his pen down. I smiled at him. As usual, the brute didn't return the smile."So studious ..." I chuckled.Her eyes widened. He craned his neck a bit and stared at me more. It's like we haven't seen each other in a long time."You were absent for days," he stated.I sniffed and sat down on the opposite sofa. He followed me with his gaze."I visited Ate. I helped her a bit. It's foundation week, anyway. There are no regular classes
