I slowly entered the VIP room where my client was waiting. My chest throbbed with the nervousness I was feeling. I was still not getting used to it. Every time I face something like this, I still feel new. I shut my eyes tightly and force myself to not be led by fear. I dramatically opened my eyes and saw an old man sitting on a couch; smoking a cigar. "Hey, slut. Come here..." he called me at the same time, motioning his hand as if he was saying to move closer in his direction. I could do nothing but approach him. I sat quietly next to him and bowed my head. Even though I wasn't looking at him, I could feel the stare he was throwing at me while sipping a glass of expensive wine. "Why are you still wearing your mask? Did you forget to take it off?" he suddenly asked out of curiosity and put the glass of wine on the glass table. I chose to not answer him. I remained silent and felt the surroundings. I heard him sigh because of the behavior I showed towards him. Just because he did
I was seriously driving right now. Not minding the stranger inside my car. She was right beside me; sitting next to me silently. I kept my eyes on the road while my mind was occupied. There were so many things spinning here inside my head. Why do I have this strange feeling, huh? I asked myself. I was still confused. I kept arguing with my inner self; asking if I will confront this woman or not. Arg! I couldn't take this anymore. I stopped the car at the side of the road. I leaned my back on the driver's seat and took a long deep breath and sigh; not bothering to take a glance at her. Silence. The car was filled with silence. No one dared to speak. I just sighed once again and finally faced her direction. "Why are you trying to escape?" I asked confusedly. Her gaze shifted in my direction. When our eyes met, I could see she was confused too about my question. I just wanna know the reason why because...you know...I don't get it. It's her job, right? So, why on earth is she
What's the problem with the idea to take off her mask? She immediately shook her head many times as if she was saying that it should never be removed. "Woah... It's okay, it's okay. I understand," I answered quickly while raising my two hands as if I was being hold-up. She looked so serious when she shook her head earlier. I thought there was a big reason why she did not want her bare face to be seen by others. "You know what?" I looked intently at her face. I saw her gulp. "You're weird," I commented and laughed slightly after pointing at the mask she was wearing. I did understand why she didn't want to remove it but I couldn't help but feel upset. "Yet mysterious," I added. It's true. I felt intrigued by what her bare face looked like and I was also kind of confused about this strange feeling that I am currently feeling right now. I couldn't name it. But, there was a sure thing, I felt this kind of feeling when Angela was near me or talking with me. That's the reason why
Angela's POV When I made sure Clark's car was already gone, I walked quickly heading to our house. Our home was pretty close to where I landed. When I got in front of the door, I immediately took the key and hurriedly went inside. I went to the kitchen to drink water. To this day, the nervousness in my chest still lingered in my entire body. I was shaking while drinking the glass of water and gently laid it on the top of the table right after. I weakly sat down in the chair and combed my hair out of extreme tension. I thought he would know my secret. He was staring at me while we were eating and he even noticed my mask. I was so thankful he didn't insist on removing it on my face because if he does, my secret will be revealed. I finally removed the mask that was covering my face and sighed. "How long, Angela? How long will you be as Magda?" I asked myself while looking at the mask. I could no longer hold back the tears from my eyes. I immediately wiped it on the back of my right
"W-wait..." I interrupted the topic and let go of our hug. "What's wrong with you, Bel? Why are you acting like that all of the sudden?" I asked curiously and laughed. "You look like a mother on how you worried about me," I added and giggled. I was trying to divert the conversation. Hoping she would forget about Clark. "Of course! I'm worried!" she whimpered and scratched her neck. "Besides..." She stopped for a moment and looked straight into my eyes. I suddenly felt nervous because of the way she looked at me. "You're important to me," she added in a serious tone. I was stunned by what I heard and stared into her eyes. "Uhmm..." I whispered. Not knowing what to reply to what she had said. Wait. Do I need to say something? I lowered my gaze and thought deeply then turned my gaze back to her. Later, she suddenly smiled. "Because you're my best friend!!" she shouted exaggeratedly and hugged me tight once again. She even lifted me from the ground and spun me around. I couldn'
"I am in love with someone else,” I answered back. I looked at her, pleading. She didn't utter any word about what she heard. She was silent for a moment. She sipped her black coffee and looked at me again. I knew coffee could calm her nerves. She put down the cup on the table then she spoke. "Who's the lucky rat?" she asked and stared at me intently. I didn't answer. "Ah! I think it's better if I'm going to rephrase it..." she said and sipped again on her cup. "Who's the lucky woman?" "I found her, mom," I answered and smiled like an idiot. "Oh!" she exclaimed. "Can I meet her?" she asked, then continued eating. "We will go there, mom," I said, then drink a glass of water. "On the right time," I added. She just smiled at me and didn't bother to comment. I didn't know if what she heard was okay with her or what. It was also a bit surprising because she didn't force Natasha anymore but I hope she continues like that. "What about dad? How is he?" I diverted the topic by asking
"Bel?" I uttered in shock. I froze. It was Bel... Don't tell me she's Magda— No! Impossible! I shook my head many times because of the thought. No! It can't be her. "Clark?" she whispered. She went out of the gate. "Why are you here?" she asked in surprise and looked left and right; as if scanning the place. Just because my mind was still debating on what I saw, I didn't respond quickly. I was dumbfounded staring at her. "Are you okay?" she asked worriedly and didn't know if she would go to approach me or not but in the end, she didn't. "Are you looking for Angela?" she added and waved her hand in front of me, just to wake me up and get back to my senses. Her eyebrows were raised, a sign that she was impatient waiting for my answer. "Ah... No!" I answered a bit loudly and gulped. It seemed she was confused at my reaction while looking at me. "Okay... Come inside first," she invited and opened the gate widely. I didn't hesitate to go inside her house. "Sit there. I'll just
Angela's POV "Yey! Let's go swimming!" Maymay shouted excitedly here inside the car. I just smiled at the thought that my siblings are happy right now. I turned my gaze to the backseat just to see my sister who was now cuddling with his older brother Kokoy and her Auntie Bel. Maymay took a glance in my direction after she felt I was watching them. She gave me a sweet smile. You could see her innocence and the joy she felt through her eyes. I just nodded at her and smiled back as a response then I shifted my gaze to the man next to me who was just silently driving. I was happy today because he did it to us. I thought he had forgotten what he promised to the children because he hadn't visited us for a few days in our house. But here he is. He picked us up at home together with Bel to fulfill what he promised to my siblings. 'When he promises something, it will come true.' The trip also took more than half an hour before reaching Clark's house which was really big and indeed beauti
