When the call ended, Manang Fe immediately called Red. Fortunately, he answered her call promptly.[Manang? You called, do you need anything?] Red asked as he answered the call."Can you come here, hijo? Roy isn't here and I feel lonely eating by myself..."[What? Where did Kuya Roy go?]"He asked for permission to go home to his family. He hasn't been able to go home for a few weeks. I allowed him to go, it's hard for his child. Is it okay with you, hijo?"[Uhm... Sure, Manang Fe. I'll come, I just need to finish signing these papers, it's the last one anyway.]"Alright, hijo. Take care!" Manang Fe said before ending the call.…Meanwhile, after Red finished signing the documents, he stood up and fixed himself. He went straight to the bathroom and upon looking at himself in the mirror, he only saw how much his face has changed. He just washed his face and fixed his hair.When he came out of the bathroom, Miss Dein was already there, waiting for him while standing. He was about to cal
While on the way back to the company, Red was still thinking about the long sermon of Manang Fe."Hijo, if you love someone, you should not give up easily. Fight for it, if he really doesn't want to, at least you did your best to save your relationship until the last chance. So what if he already left the Philippines, then chase him, go to him. Will you wait for him to be with someone else before you regret not trying to talk to him and insist on fixing your relationship for the last time?""Manang is right, nothing will happen if I just wait for a miracle for Chelsea to come back to me... I need to act..." Red muttered to himself and quickly drove his car.When he arrived at the company, he quickly took the elevator to look for Miss Dein. When he peeked into her office, she wasn't there, so he hurriedly looked for her but couldn't find her. Fortunately, one of his employees passed by. He called him, "Find Secretary Dein and tell her to go to my office, now!" Red's order with authorit
"Madam Buenavista, sir... Your mother ordered me to do it. She forced me to follow her orders. At first, I refused. You know how important Ma'am Chelsea is to me... But when my family got involved, I became afraid that they might be in danger, sir... So I put sleeping drops in the wine you drank that night... I'm sorry..." Maris begged for forgiveness. She still couldn't stop crying and was having a hard time breathing due to her sobs."Give her some water," Red ordered his men. When Maris was given water and slightly calmed down, Red approached her again. "This is the last time I'll show mercy to you. I don't want to see your face again, and you should stay away from your family. I'll triple the money my mother gave you, and that should be enough for you to hide your entire family." Red whispered to Maris.He stood up and looked at one of his men. "Take her home and give her the remaining suitcase in the trunk. I want you to keep an eye on Maris's entire family and keep her away from
Red was staring at his phone while listening to the voice record he took on the day he stormed the mansion. He was still unsure about what to do with the evidence that would prove his innocence. He stood up from his bed and went to his office beside his room.Once he was in front of his laptop, he immediately transferred the recorded voice audio to his laptop to make a copy of it. While looking at it, he couldn't resist himself and started composing a message with the recorded voice audio attached to send it to Chelsea's email.He paused for a moment and suddenly hesitated to send it. "Argh! Maybe I'll do it later." Red slapped the desk and left his laptop open.As he left his office, he quickly went downstairs to feed Blaze breakfast. The whole house could hear Blaze barking and he was still alone in the house since Kuya Roy hadn't come home yet, while Manang Fe was still in the hospital.Red immediately went to the kitchen to prepare Blaze's breakfast. He put some dog food, chicken
Two days had passed and it was only then that Red had a relaxed schedule. In the past few days, he had been busy with the pile of work in the company and attending meetings for their new investors in the company. Red had just finished signing the last batch of documents brought to his desk by Miss Dein. He stood up and stretched. He took his phone from his pocket and looked at the time, "Right on time," Red muttered when he saw that it was almost lunchtime.He tidied up his cluttered desk and put on his coat that was hanging on the back of his chair. Red walked towards the elevator when he suddenly bumped into Miss Dein. "Oh sir, are you going home?" Miss Dein asked Red in surprise."Yes... by the way, don't bother bringing me lunch anymore. I promised Manang Fe that I would have lunch at home. I don't have any schedule in the afternoon, right?" Red asked back.Miss Dein quickly grabbed her iPad and checked Red's schedule. "Hmm... None, sir," Miss Dein replied with a shrug."Good, I'm
Chelsea and Angel were tired when they got home. They had been strolling around and trying out different foods all day, which Chelsea enjoyed. Finally, for even just one day, she was able to forget about Red and didn't think about him.As they entered Angel's house, the three house helpers welcomed them calmly. "Welcome back, milady," they greeted. They took the two's shopping bags and brought them to their respective rooms."My babies! So… how's your day? Did you enjoy yourselves?" Mrs. Martinez happily greeted them.The two quickly approached Mrs. Martinez and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Hi mommy! I didn't know that there was a new restaurant open near Central. The food there is really delicious, we should try it next time with daddy!" Angel happily said."Really? I didn't know since your daddy and I don't really go out. So, how's Chelsea? Have you memorized the place already?" Mrs. Martinez asked Chelsea. She nodded and smiled at Mrs. Martinez as a response."Have you eaten yet?
ChelseaI don't know how long I've been staring at the email he sent. I'm hesitant to open it because it might just be another circle of lies. I took a deep breath before deciding to play it.Distorted Sound"Chelsea and I agreed to have dinner together when she comes home. So, I cooked because I thought she deserves to have something to look forward to. When I finished preparing the meal, I sat down in the living room and drank the wine I had. It was just one fucking glass, but then suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my head and I got sleepy, so I decided to go upstairs to rest. And that's it. I don't remember anything else, I just woke up soaking wet and Chelsea said I was kissing our maid. That's when I saw Maris, our maid, she's naked. I'm not wearing any clothes either. Chelsea was furious and she wouldn't listen to me. I understand her naman...""No hijo, it's Chelsea's fault why you separated. Why didn't she even listen to you? I mean, your stories make sense and there's really so
When Chelsea answered, she slowly moved her phone away from her ear and placed it on the table. She picked up her wine glass and took a sip, inhaling deeply and calming herself down.After five minutes, she picked up her phone again and placed it against her ear. "Are you still there?" Chelsea's voice remained expressionless.Red's swallow was audible on the other end of the line before he answered, "I'm still here… Can we… Can we talk?" Red asked."I called you because I really wanted to talk to you." Chelsea replied.A smile appeared on Red's lips as he stepped out of his room and into the pool area of his house. "I don't know where to start actually.""That's fine, I just called to tell you that I received what you sent me and I listened to it." Chelsea said. She poured more wine into her glass and took another sip. There was nothing but silence on Red's end of the line."I listened to everything and based on what I heard, I can say that you're innocent and that you were set up." C
