"I was about to call you later .." I said as I got away from the table. I went to the kitchen because there is also a door here to get out of the garden and pool area."Hmm? Why?""I have a favor to ask. By the way, do you need anything?" I asked because I know he wouldn't call for nothing. I folded my arms and waited for him to answer."No .. nothing. I just called to inform you that I'm going back to the Philippines .."My eyes rolled and I was immediately excited. "Oh my God, when ?!" My question was full of joy. "Does Aunt Celine know? I'm with them now, and she didn't tell me,"I heard him laugh on the other line. "Not yet, you're the first one I called."I raised an eyebrow. "So you're going home? You're leaving Patricia there?" There is doubt in my tone."H-hm. That's where I'll continue my residency.""Why?""What, why?""Are you going to leave Pat?" I will ask.It was a long time before he could answer. "No."I took a deep breath and a smile slowly faded from my lips. "So you
"Go away," I whispered to my older brother because I could hardly breathe with the number of people who wanted to squeeze into our band.We've been sitting here at the medic station for a few minutes, I'm the only doctor here, neither nurses nor volunteers are there. The older brother said that it was still two hours before the red cross requested by the Mayor arrived because they were not from Cebu.I gasped because older brother Sage didn't want to leave me. I already told him that I'm fine here alone, it's even more bothersome that he's here because people are crowding and shouting just to get close to him. Even though we have guards blocking, they are obviously having a hard time controlling people, especially women."Who's with you here?" He is justified.I turned to him, "Why? Did I come to watch over you? I'm here to volunteer. You, go straight to where the bands should be. The influx of people here only adds to the heat. Maybe it can also cause people complications. " My answe
"Are you out of your mind?" I almost whispered as Luke hung up the phone while driving.He ignored me. He had just finished talking to their manager and I heard that he had requested that Jerimiah be expelled from the event! I don't even know if it's a request or an order. Does he have the right to do that? He was so serious that I was just scared to complain earlier.I can't believe that with all that has happened and my brainstorming that we have nothing more to talk about, I am now in Luke's car.After the incident earlier in the plaza, people nearby met Luke. Jerimiah immediately disappeared when the people began to gather there. At the speed of events, I just remembered that Luke and I were running as he dragged me straight here to the parking lot where he was going to ride."Where are you taking me?" I tried to raise my voice.I'm nervous. I do not know why. Is it because of what happened earlier? Fearing that it might affect her career and Jerimiah’s, or because of the fact we’
Even though I couldn't resist his stare at me while eating, I just forced myself to consume my food. We were both quiet while eating. Fortunately, Luke had bottled water in his car, because we didn't have any soft drinks, left at the station.We put your clutter in a single plastic afterwards. And before I could think of anything to say, he spoke."How have you been?" He asked while holding the steering wheel. We were both facing the parking lot exit, watching the people relentlessly flood in."Didn't you already asked me that before? And we're not here to catch up, where's Benjie?" I asked directly without looking at him. I even saw Moli and her lieutenant friend with a tall and masculine guy like Luke. I just didn't think of them at first."My men and your brothers' are on it. So far there is no lead so you have to be careful." He says.I was not satisfied. I did not speak. The amount runs through my mind. Why him? What is his motive? Is he mad at my mother? That is impossible. My h
I never finished the event. I went home to my companions first and did not wait for my older brother. He texted to attend an after party at the capitol where the Mayor's office is located along with other guests who attended.Apart from the fact that my heart was pounding, I also felt sorry for my body guards because I had caught them closing their eyes several times due to drowsiness so I decided to go home.The next day, the news broke that the canceled movie was still being plugged by Jerimiah. Photos of her flirting with various older actresses and even women with a passion for showbiz spread. I was even shocked to see in the news the testimonies of the women he had harassed at the bar, the artists and staffs he had molested as well as the news that he was involved in illicit drugs.My head ached at the thought that Luke might have been the mastermind. I know he said he'll tear down his career, but I never thought so! Where did this information come from? Are they even true? I can
I ran to the kitchen. There was a cook and a cleaner there.I stopped at the counter and laid my hands on it. I nodded a little to call the older cook, but I was just as shocked when I pushed forward and my stomach hit the counter because of the hard object that hit my back.There was a look of shock in my eyes as Luke's large, long hands on either side of me screened my eyes. Those hands landed on the counter so I was locked up from behind.I turned to Luke and immediately pulled my head away as our noses were almost touching! His chest was still glued to my back and his face was so close because he was still bent over! I also turned to the maid before speaking."What are you—""Sshh ..." he whispered and once glanced at the cook. I close my eyes when his lip hits my hair. My feathers stood up and were immediately ignited by the heat. What the fuck does he think he's doing ?! "Don't make any noise," he ordered.I blinked and looked straight at the maid who was still cleaning. He’s ju
The wedding was held in a private open space in Seda Lio, a five-star luxury hotel here in El Nido. For an atheist like me .. this is my second time attending a catholic wedding. Not bad. Nothing offensive.It's only now that I realize that all the guests and their coordinators stayed here except us because we were there at Lea's rest house.Lea's rest house is more comfy and more open to the beach, while this hotel screams luxury and class. I arched my brow as I scanned the couple on the stage made altar.Now that I saw Tatiana again, I immediately recognized her. She really is a supermodel. I used to see him often in magazines and billboards in Australia, even in the Philippines. She is always on the runway and fashion shows of well -known luxury brands. It didn't immediately register in my brain that she was Lea's older brother's girlfriend.There's no doubt she's one of the highest paid models in her generation. She's tall, very white and all her curves in their right places. I he
Matured content ahead, read at your own risk. With so much heat and shame I was feeling, I couldn’t say goodbye when I ran out of there. I went down to the second floor and was about to go straight to my room when I realized that Luke might just go there and I had no choice but to let him in from the bathroom or the balcony. Argh. I went down to the first floor and came to the quiet living room. Sister Celine and brother Loren are already in the room, as is their son. It's getting early and the maids are definitely resting. I slowly exited the rest house and surveyed the dark sea. I took a deep breath and walked towards it. There are no people and maybe they won't come down here because of too much drunkenness. I swallowed and slowly took off my white t-shirt. I also took off my shorts and removed the pinch of my hair. I stored my undresses on the side of the beach that would not be wet. I looked out at the sea and was no longer afraid to go down. When the cold water hit my feet, m
