Chapter 24 – New Beginning
Renzo took a deep breath, looking up at the sky. Well, now . . .
He can finally smile and feel relaxed again. And he’s got a job . . .
A regular employment at Taylor Industries. It was once his goal to get that type of employment. He already gave up on it. Who knew it would come to him like this?
He couldn’t stop the grin on his face. First, he went to the bank to deposit the money. When he saw the content of the envelope, he was shocked at first. Wait, he was only jobless for over a month. Does that guy even know how much he actually earned in that period? Even if he added something extra, it shouldn’t be this much. Well, he’s already here. He’ll deposit them first. He doesn’t want to walk around with that much money. He decided to keep a few bills on his wallet. Maybe he’ll take Ciara out to celebrate. He’s got his life back. He’s got money. He’s got a job. Life is looking up. He couldn’t wait t

He carefully reached into the bouquet of flowers. He hid the box in the middle of it.“What are you doing?” Ciara was intrigued.“I got you another gift.” His voice was shaky, which she easily noticed.“What is it?” She looked at how he carefully inserted his hand between the roses. Did he actually put something in there? She chuckled.“Uhm…” Renzo slowly took the box out and Ciara stared at it.“Hmm? What is it?” She reached out to take it from him. He did say it’s his gift for her.Renzo watched as she grinned. She teased him with a glance before slowly opening it. She caught her breath at its contents. She didn’t think he would get her a ring. Wait, there are two. She almost squealed, realizing what they were. Couple rings!“You got them for us?” She quickly took them out to see. She liked hers. His is good, too.“Here. Quick, we

Renzo went to Oliver’s company the following morning. The man assigned to receive him scrutinized him in a serious manner.“Mr. Taylor left instructions. Anyway, each employee’s files are private so only managers and up will have access to them, if they so desire to check. If you want to maintain a good relationship with your co-workers, best not to let them know that you lack certain qualifications. Also, I expect you to perform well. Prove it that you deserve this position.” His immediate boss didn’t mince words. Renzo liked him instantly. He’s frank, direct with his words.“Yes, sir. I understand.”Though he only planned to check if the job is real, after the paperwork is done in the morning, he was given a tour in the afternoon of areas assigned to him. He was also given a manual and watched others to see how the job was done. It did take him a full day. Unexpected, but the work made him excited. The environmen
Loving a Clueless Man Chapter 27 – Forgiveness
Renzo bumped into Lee on a Saturday on his way to get groceries. They talked for a few minutes at a café and he told her in person what Oliver did for him. He was grateful but Lee didn’t look like she’ll forgive the man soon. She even asked if Ciara got jealous of her. He recalled that she did, but as he explained to her that Lee’s only a friend and nothing more, she didn’t seem jealous anymore. In Lee’s mind, she asked herself is she should’ve reassured Oliver the same way Renzo did to his girlfriend. Still . . . that guy wasn’t even her boyfriend.Renzo told her his thoughts on the matter, mentioning that Oliver reacted strongly when he told him not to play games with her, insisting he wasn’t.“I think your man is just feeling possessive.”Lee snorted at his statement. “I’m not a possession. I am my own person.” And he’s not my man, alright? She thought to herse

When they returned home, Ciara noticed him acting a little odd.She couldn’t help laughing out loud when he finally voiced his concerns.“Would you be tempted to choose a millionaire over me?”She sobered when she recalled that it was his insecurity. That damned Cheryl.“No. I’ll choose you over any millionaire.” She kissed his lips, but he pulled back.“How about a billionaire?” He looked cute, though exasperating.“Still you.” She kissed him again and he responded intimately this time. She smiled. He’s easily convinced these days. If this was before, he’ll probably be questioning her for a while longer. Maybe now he knew she truly loved him and would choose him over anyone else.They already agreed on a date when to get married. She’ll have to process the paperwork as he’s busy with work. They now have a regular schedule on going out and having dates

“What’s wrong?” He noticed her tears. He went over to check on her. She hugged him by the waist.“I love you.” It was a pity she couldn’t put into words just how much she loved him. She would never let him go.Renzo smiled, holding her and pressing a kiss on top of her head.“I love you, too.” It might be unfair to her, but there were moments he would feel doubtful. He knew he shouldn’t but his mind still entertained such thoughts. He knew not to voice them out, of course. It would just hurt her and he didn’t want to do that.Sometimes, he can’t help feeling scared and helpless. They might love each other now, but what if things changed? Though she assured him plenty of times, the seed of doubt remained. He did feel guilty about it and he’s making sure he didn’t slip. What would she say if she found out? He already knew it wouldn’t be good. Every day, he would try to focus on the present and stop worrying about what-ifs.Months later, Ciara gave birth to a very healthy little boy. The

She actually cried when he came back and he was quick to reassure her.“I’m here now. You shouldn’t cry.” He himself was worried. They’re first-time parents and didn’t know much about raising a child. She must be stressed taking care of their son alone.He hugged her for almost half an hour in the doorway before they heard Ranz crying awake. He travelled very early in the morning, hours before dawn, allowing him to reach home around eight o’clock. Ciara quickly wiped her tears and scrambled to check on the baby. Renzo wasn’t sure what to feel. She was quite dedicated as a mother. He followed her inside the house and was feeling immensely happy to see his family, the two most important people in his life. He would do anything and everything he can for them.“Have you made breakfast?” He suddenly asked, which startled Ciara. She was sitting on the bed, holding Ranz and comforting him.“I’m sorry. I haven’t yet. I’ll get you coffee.” She looked guilty and was about to get up. He reached

The next day, Kyle and Todd showed up again. Aside from groceries, they also brought some sweets and ice cream.“What’s the occasion?” She invited them in, and they actually entered the place. This surprised her a little.“Well, your man called. Said you might need some cheering up, so . . . ice cream!”Ciara chuckled as she took out some bowls and spoons. She noticed how Kyle didn’t close the door so she kept it that way. The morning sunlight was nice.Todd went straight for Ranz.“Isn’t he getting chubby?”“Well, all he does is sleep, eat and play. He would cry when he doesn’t get his fill of the milk, it’s making me a little worried. Should I give him less?” She almost wanted to laugh at seeing their horrified expressions at getting asked. What do they know?“Uh, should I ask a doctor? It’s fine for babies to be a little chubby, no? Just don’t let him become overweight. Do you know how much he weighs?”“I don’t know. I just know his weight when he was born. Should I get a scale?”“

Ciara stared at the door with trepidation. Is someone trying to break in? She reached out and ensured the locks are in place. She grabbed the phone and readied herself to dial the police. She thought of Renzo, realizing how scared she was in that moment. She hoped she was just hearing things and no one was outside. Her eyes constricted when she heard a cough. Please, no. She pleaded in her mind. Just go away. “Ciara? It’s me. Can you open the door?” Renzo decided there’s no other way to do it.But she frowned. Is she still hearing things? That voice sounded a lot like her boyfriend’s.“Renzo?” She called out without moving an inch. Her hand gripped the phone. She should call him to check if it’s really him outside. But why would he be outside? He didn’t say he’s coming. He was scheduled for next week.Was she dreaming? Was she missing him too much that her mind came up with this scenario? He’ll be home soon enough.“It’s me. Open the door.” He replied in a low tone, not wanting to wa
