Arthur was in his forehead knotted after having a conversation with Ellie on the other line. He came back where he left his attorney with the same expression and said, "It was Ellie." "Your sister?" Attorney Henry replied, teasing him. "You know the truth. Tsk." He sat back on the chair, watching the coffin of his mother in front of them. Today was the wake of Arthur's mother and everyone that is close to her attended and they even surprised to see her son for the first time. Most of them didn't expect that she had a son especially they all knew that he's the son of the Eurwen's couple. Arthur asked a favor not to say a word to anyone about they found out and even give them a large amount of money to shut them up. It will ruined his plan if any of them tell a single word. "What's the matter? You seems bothered, Arthur," his attorney asked after noticing his expressions. "Ellie asked me when I'm going to come back and it sounds weird that she is asking me. I feel like there somethi
"MOMMA, are we going home after we finish our food?" Andy asked who's still enjoying her meal. "Why are you asking, Andy? Don't you wanna go home after here?" Ellie get back on her plate and asked the child again "Is there a place you want to go?" She received a nod from her. "Tell me where you want to go and we'll go there before we get back." "Hmm..." The child look up for a second seems she was thinking and excitedly said, "Let's go to daddy, Momma!" The thing she was expecting is that Andy will tell her to go in places where kids usually want to go but turns out expect the unexpected. "But Andy, didn't I told you that your daddy is still busy-" "You promised me, Momma!" She cut her off and Ellie started to panic when they got everyone's attention. "Andy, calm down and I didn't forget what I promised to you okay? We're going to see your dad but this isn't the right time," she said, almost whispered and caresses the hair of the child from the back. "If it's not today, when I'm
It was already late in the evening when Dominick came back in the house together with the stress on his shoulders. Andy took the dinner first to take a rest early that's why it is just the two of them in the dining table. The place was filled with darkness and there's only lights coming from their area. The cold night was synchronizing at the ambience between the two as they swallowing every bite of their food. "I heard you didn't go to the office today," Dominick started opening a conversation to kill the silence. "Where did you heard it?" Ellie asked back, thinking how did he find out before she could tell it. "Fiona told me," he answered casually that gives her a hint. Was it Fiona who is the spy in the company? Ellie thought in her mind, staring nothing on him seems she lost already her appetite. Her secretary could be the one "I stopped by in your office only to find from your secretary that you feel sick that's why you didn't go." He continued when he noticed the suspicious
The days has been passed in just a blink of the eye when the day that Ellie hates finally came. She was now at her office, wearing her office attire while having a rehearsal on what she will say later. During the past two days she focus herself reading and understanding the files that her secretary gave her and she's afraid that she might get everyone disappointed. Ellie was now on her office table, reviewing the papers she was holding and didn't let anyone to disturb her that's why she asked someone in the workstation to look for Andy as the presentation is not done. "Good morning, Ms. Ellie, are you ready for your presentation?" Fiona asked as she entered the office to fetch her. "I don't think so? I'm nervous, Fiona!" Ellie replied hysterically, afraid that she might able to forget everything once she face all the board members. "Can we reschedule this, Fiona? I really don't think if I can do this." "Ms. Ellie..." Her secretary immediately run to her and pull off in her seat. "T
"ARE WE GOING HOME NO, MOMMA?" Andy asked, sipping on her juice in the glass she was holding. The child is having her snack on the couch with her apple juice and chocolate cookies that Fiona prepared for her. "We're going home in an hour, Andy. I will just finish what I am doing here," Ellie replied who's is busy contacting the number of the financial manager that she asked to her secretary after having a conversation with Arthur, "Why is it always out of coverage?" she asked annoyingly for making a hundred calls but no one is answering. "Momma, I can't wait to see daddy." The child said, trying to draw her attentions. ''Yeah, i can't wait to see your daddy too." She grimaced, pressing hard the screen of her iPhone. Andy smiled on what she heard seem she's having butterfly on her stomach. "Do you like my daddy, Momma?" She asked out of the blue that caught off her guard. "Andy!' She look at her unbelievable. "Where are you getting that thoughts?" "You said you can't wait to see
After the long drive in the road, they finally arrived seven o'clock at the Sublimotion, the most expensive restaurant in the world. People there came from in a high class status, wearing their luxurious dress and suits seems they were having a competition on their outfit. The place where paint in gold that shimmering when the lights reflect coming from the chandeliers. Ellie's adoptive parents were sitting in a VIP table in the second floor with a ten seaters available. The host lead them upstairs and there she saw her adoptive parents whose busy looking at the menu of the restaurant. "Mom, dad," Ellie called to draw their attention. "Ellie!" Anecita stood up and walk towards their way. She gave peak of kiss on her adoptive daughter's cheeks before diverting her eyes to her grand daughter. "Hello, sweet heart." "Hello, Grandma!" Andy smiled sweetly. "Grandpa!" She immediately run towards with Luisito and gave him a hug. "Where is your fiancee, Ellie? Why are you not with him?" he
"WE HAVE TO GO NOW." Arthur gave his adoptive mother a peak of kiss while a man hug for his adoptive father. "Mr. and Mrs. Yuzon." He just gave them a smile and also Dominick to piss him more "I hope you're not mad for stealing Ellie for the mean time." He forcedly smile a little. "It's okay you can have her. Besides, she'll be my wife soon and you'll be still his big brother anyway. I won't take away your bond as a siblings." He said in sarcasm and smirked when he saw Arthur clenched his fists. "Let's go now before the traffic kill us." Ellie pulled his sleeve when she noticed another tension between the two. "Let's go, Andy." She holds the hand of the child. "Ellie was right. You must go now," Luisito agreed, "Drive safely and have fun." "Thank you, Dad. We are going now see you later." She diverted her eyes to Arthur who isn't moving to his place. "Let's go, Arthur, that's enough." She said almost whispered and headed at the staircase with the child. Arthur and Ellie together
It was too early in the morning but Dominick was already treating himself a hard drinks in the bar counter to ease his anger. He was the very first customer today and this is the same bar where he first saw Ellie, the night where Arthur saved her from him. He hates to think that he lose again this time and Arthur got the spot light after what happened last night. Flashback... "I'm really glad that you made it to be here, Dominick," Luisito said as they get back on their table when his adopted already left together with his granddaughter, "You already like a son to me as I saw you and Arthur grew up together." "This dinner is very much important to me, Dad, that's why I canceled my appointment tonight," he replied casually. "I'm very sorry that Ellie needs to leave early with Arthur. That two was really close to each other since they were children not until my daughter decided to study in Canada. They might probably miss each other so much." He laughs remembering the days that he w
