Currently at the counter area talking to one of her employees, she heard someone cleared her throat behind her back that caught her attention. With forehead knotted she saw Patty and her husband looking so regal in a party dress. She then look at her sister giving her a questioning look.
"Why are you not dressed yet?" Patty stated.
With that, she frustratedly tapped her forehead in frustration. She had forgotten that it was Hannah's birthday and she promised to come in her party together with her sister. Gosh, she got too engrossed working in the restaurant to even forget that important event. It had been a very busy day, the restaurant was full of customers and she forgot that she have to go home early to prepare for her friend's birthday party. Feeling alarmed, she felt bad even more when she checked the time on her wristwatch and find out it was already eight thirty in the evening. Damn, she was so late now!
"Shit! It
After seeing Alec at the verandah, she immediately went inside the mansionto see and talk to him out of excitement. He came home! Alec had finally came home. Oh, she wanted to talk to him immediately. She had missed him so much."Good evening Señorita." Greeted by the maid when she went inside."Good evening Ms. Tabitha." She went straight to the kitchen to find Nana Marcela instead of going straight through her room. Her eyes widen as a smile automatically drew her lips when she finally saw Nana Marcela talking with the two maids telling them some errands."Nana!" Her Nanny got alarmed when she saw her and by that looks of the old woman, it seems like she has something good news to tell her."Señorita! Señorito Alec finally came home!" Nana Marcela said excitedly."Yeah, I saw her in the verandah." She replied happily."Señor Alonzo just arrived early before h
It has been a long busy day from work and she couldn't help to smile because her hard work is slowly being paid. Gustoso Ristorante is being known and being patronize in the town. They were gaining more costumers each and everyday and she's been receiving good feedbacks from the town's people. She won't mind going home tired knowing the restaurant is doing good and flourishing. She heaved out a deep breath and pull out a fulfilling smile while continously combing her hair in front of the mirror. Suddenly, a knock on her door caught her attention from her deep thoughts afterwards."Come in!" She announced. The door opened and Nana Marcela came in."Señorita, the Señor Alonzo wanted to talk to you in the Study room." Nana Marcela informed.Her back automatically straigtened as she swallowed an imaginary lump. The familiar nervosity she usually have towards her father suddenly engulf her after learning
"Didn't I told you to stop dating that young man from Johanson family, Emerald Marie." Her father stated in a deep and dangerous tone.It was dinner and the silent dinner at the table suddenly broke by her father's voice. Her eyes went to the old man and he found him seriously looking at her direction with the usual coldness and hardness expression in his face. She noticed Alec stopped eating too as his attention now on their father. Yes, for the first time after he came back in the mansion they finally share a meal in the table. She had expected her Dad will soon talk to her about this matter, what she didn't expected is that he'll talk about this over dinner."Didn't I cleared my decision that you should stop seeing him?Are you defying my rules now?" His father's voice started to raise. From calm and solemn tone to now angry and dangerous."I already told you Dad. I won't stay away from Phil even you told me to stop s
Staring at her phone that is won't ringing, she couldn't help to heave a sigh and feel guilty. It's Phil and he been trying to call and text her multiple times from now. It has been a week of avoiding him after the last time they talked. He never stop calling her and still trying to talk to her after that.She could remember the last time he fetched her at the restaurant and brought her home. She decided to talked to him when the car stopped and parked in frontof their mansion's gate."Phil, I want you stop fetching me at the restaurant and so as bringing me home from now on." She stated while her eyes are blankly staring outside the window of his car. She can't look into his eyes for she was guilty. Although against her will, she had decided to stop seeing him and follow her father's rule. "B-But W-Why?" His eyes turned into her looking stu
Entering the living room, she got alarmed when Nana Marcelacalled out her name while running down the stairs towards her. She just got home from the restaurant and a sudden worries engulfed her when she saw the old woman alarmingly descending the stairsright after she saw her. It's as if the old woman either he a good or bad news she was about to tell her."My Señorita! Señorito Alexander came home! He came home early this evening together with Señor Alonzo." She stated in a hurry but what bothered her is the old woman's expression. She seemed tensed and worried."Oh..." The only word that escaped her mouth as felt her shoulders dropped and her body suddenly wilt out of weakness. Nervousness and anxiety rushed all over her as she felt her toes weakened.She was hoping Alec won't show up for a long time. She was badly praying for it actually. Alec was a rebel and he can defy Don Alonzo's will with no hesitations.&n
"It's getting darker, what are you doing here?" A gasped escaped her mouth when she heard that cold baritone voice from her back.It was Alec. He's riding his favorite stallion-Thunder Storm, wearing a cowboy hat, black sando partneringa skin tight jeans and a leather boots. If only she didn't knew that he was the formidable and arrogant Señorito Sebastian Alexander De Hizon, she would have been admire his physical features and attributes but unfortunately she was Emerald- the adopted child of Don Alonzo who was made to be his future wife for his son so she will never admit even in herself that she was secretly complementing him. Never she will admit that he was handsome and sexy as hell.Their eyes met. Strange, but her heart is racing like a runaway train and she couldn't help but to swallow an imaginary lump. She immediately jerked her eyes away from him and look back at the lake trying not to mind him. She understand now why all along,
"My Señorita, wake up..." The gentle tap of Nana Marcela in her upper arm waken her up that morning."What is it, Nana?" She asked sleepy trying to open her heavy eyes from a long sleep."Señorita Patty came home!" The old woman excitedly announced.With that, she immediately arise in the bed and face the old woman."Where is she, Nana?" She asked suddenly as her her face lightened up in joy and hope.Like a desperate person waiting for a miracle, her prayers has been answered. She could feel hopesuddenly flooded her mind. Patty came home to help her as she promised. In this family, Patty was the only one who cared for her feelings. She knew she love her like a real sister. She got mad at her for keeping the secret about her true identity but she knew she did that to avoid hurting her. Now that she came home in the hacienda, she knew she did this to save her."She was now having brea
Venezuela:"How are you my Senorita?" Nana Marcela asked who seemed very worried on the phone. It was an overseas call and the old woman used to call her every Sunday or whenever she got chance just to make sure she was fine in the country she was staying."I'm good. Still coping but I will make it Nana.I missed you and the people in the hacienda, you know." She stated out of melancholy."We missed you too my Señorita. People in the hacienda got worried and sad when they found out you left specially Mrs. Tilley and Mr. De Guzman.Do not worry to much okay? Everything will be fine soon." The old woman's voice was very comforting. Hearing her voice makes her eyes teary. She misses the old woman so bad. The way she takes good care of her and her genuine concerns, she couldn't help to feel grateful she have a loving Nanny who love and treated her like her own child.It has been a month
