He extended his left hand and offer it to me. “Care to join me for breakfast, Miss Allysa?” I could help myself but be mesmerized. The plan to get out of here in peace seems to take a huge turn. I have been caught red-handed and there’s really no escaping now. I really could not do much though even if I wasn’t caught, like could I open the elevator when it needs a fingerprint? I’m pretty sure it is not my fingerprint whose needed.This is why I hate modern technology sometimes, they make everything so complicated yet convenient for everyone. This must be the start of our love-hate relationship.I really have no choice but to rethink my escape plan. Plus, the stranger already disappeared into the kitchen without waiting for my answer. I could not help but knock my head lightly because I could not remember what I did to him to take responsibility for something. I hesitantly followed Randall after a few minutes of self-loathing.When I walk towards the kitchen, I saw his well-built body
“You don’t need to worry so much. I would not take advantage nor ask for something impossible and difficult. Just take me out on a date tomorrow, how does that sound?”He was looking at me innocently and full of expectation like a child.“Yes!” I answered without any hesitation before I realize my mistake. He smiled— no more like a sly smirk!Oh my god… I was trapped. I was tricked by those seemingly endless black eyes!“Then, it is settled then.”“No! Wait! I— it is not settled yet! I wasn’t thinking straight!” I argue after my senses came back. I just proved to myself that I do have weakness when it comes to beauty.He titled his head in the left, wondering why I took back my words. “Why? You already agreed to it.”“Stop looking at me with those eyes!” I shouted before I turn my head to avoid his gaze. He straighten and move where I could perfectly see his beauty.“What eyes?” he asked innocently and move closer.Why are you looking at me with a gaze like that! I immediately covered
Chapter Twelve.On the way from was nothing but agonizing. If I did have a choice I am not going to comeback to that hell of a house. But for my revenge and my things I need to swallow this anger first.Bonavich Subdivision.It was the letters that form around as I got closer to my destination.Arriving on the gates of the subdivision, the security guard on duty, Micheal, smiled at me and opened the gates. In return of his friendly smile, I wave at him. Thankfully, I wasn’t ban on entering this ground and no news of the black sheep of the family getting kicked-out got out.“Good morning ma'am.” he greeted simply as my car passed the guard house.Entering the subdivision wasn’t that much stressful because Micheal was such a gentle soul. He might not talk to much but he is kind, more kinder than my very own father.Taking a left turn, I could already see the mansion. As I approach the house, a black car was seen nearing. As I climb out of my car, it was exactly the moment the other vehi
Chapter Thirteen.I can't understand how people around us see her as someone angelic! Didn't you see what she did!? She did not close the door! Where are her manners!?She did not even knock!Ugh. People in the company must have been blind or they were wearing color-fulled glasses. They were not able to see that behind those innocent faces is a freaking bitch.Stamping my feet on the ground like a teenager, I forced myself to sit up, stand up, and closed the door. Yes, THE DOOR THAT I DIDN’T EVEN OPEN.People do really like ruining my mood this day. And I won’t allow this, I cannot allow that my day was only ruined. I also need to ruin theirs, even if it needs a few days before I achieve it.Instead of going back to bed and sleeping all day, my determination to exact my revenge motivated me to finish my impending work.A work that will not only destroy my father and sister’s image but also the company. Just like I said, if I cannot have “Hall’s Corporate and Company” then no one would
Silence was met with another silence. I couldn't help but feel smug about it. In fact, I was not writing a report for the company but researching about the man I met last night.I couldn't even believe my luck—or misfortune, depending on how you looked at it. It had started as ordinary flirting, a chance to bed a man who passed my standards and type. Among the vibrant atmosphere and attractive crowd, he was just a different breed. He was meant to stand out.I found myself infatuated with a charming stranger. He was tall, with raven black hair and crystal-clear black eyes looking at me like he was sucking my soul, which made my heart skip a beat. And as a woman who was raised to be direct and frank, I don't like idle chit-chats and beating around the bush."I never thought you would figure me out that fast. Perhaps the prior engagement was already planned?" he inquired amusingly, but I detected a slight caution in his voice.I shrugged my shoulders in response, even though he couldn't
I heard him sigh, his exasperation palpable in the air. "Is this what you really want?" he asked, his voice tinged with a mix of concern and disbelief. But his question only fueled the fire that burned within me, igniting a strange smile on my lips. I couldn't help but let out a laugh, a laugh that held both astonishment and determination. It was a laugh that threatened to propel me out of my seat and onto a path of no return.Is this what I really want? Ha! No, never! This is not enough! The vanilla revenge he spoke of, the mere satisfaction of winning a petty competition, held no allure for me. It was far too shallow, too insignificant to quench the thirst for retribution that consumed me.He had always been perceptive, a man with a sharp eye. He must have glimpsed the fragments of my plan, sensed the depth of my intentions. But I was unwilling to reveal everything just yet, to let him in on the true extent of my desires. Instead, I replied with a firmness that belied the seething a
Chapter Sixteen.Staying up in room for the whole day, I didn’t realize it was already evening until I heard a know coming behind my door.Knock.Knock.“Young miss, the master have arrived and requested your presence. And, dinner will be serve in a few minutes.” The servant announced in an unhurried tone.I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. We don’t typically eat dinner together, or should I say I wasn’t included. I could only join them if the Chairman has important things to discuss or information that needs attention. Typically, it was always about reprimanding and warning me.Just great. Another humiliation episode for the whole house to enjoy.I sighed and reluctantly got up from my comfortable spot on the bed. It had been one of those days when I just wanted to retreat into the solace of my room, away from the prying eyes and constant scrutiny of the household. But now, it seemed like my solitude was about to be shattered by yet another dinner where I would be the center of attent
Chapter Seventeen.My eyes were locked on him, not backing down. The room felt heavy with tension as we stood face to face, the air crackling with unspoken words. I could see the disappointment in my father's eyes, his once vibrant gaze now clouded with a mixture of anger and frustration. But I refused to let it deter me. I had grown tired of living in his shadow, constantly striving for his approval, only to be met with perpetual disappointment.Looking at him now was just a bare minimum of my rudeness, a silent rebellion against the expectations he had placed upon me. In his eyes, I am always the one at fault.For years, I had tried to be the daughter he wanted me to be - obedient, successful, and dutiful. I had studied tirelessly, excelled in every subject, and achieved more than most could ever dream of. But it was never enough. No matter how high I climbed, he always found fault in my accomplishments. He had an unyielding vision for my life, one that I could never quite live up t
