Elyana's POV"How was it?" I just got out of the room where the laser treatment was undergone when Felicity sprinted in front of me to ask me this.It had been a week since I burned my skin in the hot tub, and that day was my dermatologist appointment. I was with him after he insisted on coming to make sure I would be safe.Frankly, it has been hard to understand him lately. Ever since he moved to the mansion, he surpassed my mother when it came to taking care of me. He overreacted when I forgot to take my medicines, and if he heard I had planned on going somewhere."It's fine. It didn't hurt," I answered as I walked to the counter to give my payment."Then good!" he uttered, breathing a sigh of relief. With his reaction, he was like a worried parent who took his child to the doctor for the first time.After my appointment with the derma, I had to go to the psychiatric doctor for my second session. Felicity didn't know that I had scheduled a session for counseling that day, and my prob
Elyana's POVI instantly panicked when I didn't see him on the table. I went inside to double-check because all the tables inside were not visible from the outside of the store, but right after I walked in, an angry gay popped up out of nowhere, stunning me."Where have you been?" he asked. It was evident in his eyes how furious he was when he looked at me, making me feel frightened."I-I just looked for a store nearby to buy tissue. They don't have tissue paper inside the restroom here, and I used the restroom of the convenience store." I lied, stammering."Liar," he whispered with a smirk, but enough for somebody that close to hear. "Where have you been?" he asked while maintaining his furious eyes on me.The way he asked that question, it seemed he knew I was lying. The clinic where I went was only across the street, and he made me think that he was the person looking at me when I went out of the door.I was forced to admit where I came from because of the conclusion I created. I wa
Third-Person POVFelicity went back to his room and immediately looked for his cellular phone inside his bag. When he found it, he immediately dialed a number, and after a few rings, someone who seemed to have just woken up answered on the other line."Are you busy today?" Felicity asked, he didn’t want to waste more time and wanted to jump into the real purpose of why he called him.“N-no, not today. I’m planning to visit my nephews—but that can wait until the afternoon,” Quintin answered while stretching his body before sitting down on the side of his bed and checking the time on his watch."Oh, great." Felicity sighed. "Elyana is going to the mall today. Now that we finally confirmed Lucas is stalking her, we can't ensure her safety," the matchmaker continued."Don't worry about that, I know people who can help us make sure she will be safe," Quintin assured him."I will leave it to you then. Don't forget to update me. I'll be in my office," Felicity responded, and he ended the call
Elyana's POVOn our way to the mall, I couldn't stop thinking about who was calling Felicity. He seemed bothered while busy with his phone, and when it rang, he suddenly excused himself, leaving me alone at the table.I could feel something was going on—something seemed not right, but I was afraid to dig it up with him because he would surely not like it. Maybe giving him time would help.We got stuck in the traffic. Good thing I was with the most talkative servants we have, and she didn't stop entertaining us with all her silly stories.Daldalita was constantly babbling about so many things on our whole trip, and I took that time to ask their opinions for our Christmas party planning. About the games we could do, food to serve, and the best price for the winnersWhile listening to them brainstorm, I couldn't help but think about Felicity. My best friend is the most talkative and energetic person I know, but that morning, it seemed I was facing a different person.When we arrived at o
Third-Person POV Around three in the morning in London, Lucas felt his cellular phone vibrating. He put it on silent mode before going to sleep and placed it on top of the bedside table next to him.Lucas reached for it with one hand to check why it was vibrating at that hour. There was an unknown number calling, but with the digits that he memorized, he knew who it was by that time.He immediately sat on the side of the bed and walked out of the room to answer the call.He had no idea why he was calling at such an hour. It was something he forbade him to do because Diane would be around and because the vibration would wake her up, had no choice but to answer the call and go outside."Why are you calling this late?" he asked almost in a whisper while walking down the stairs."S-Sorry, boss, I forgot the time difference," Ignacio replied, the man he paid to follow Elyana in the Philippines ever since she flew back to the country.He had truly forgotten, and because he had an importan
Third-Person POVQuintin invited Elyana and her companions for a coffee break. He treated them to a famous coffee shop with cakes and drinks.While they enjoyed the food and coffee, the stalker continued following them and updating his boss. He could see them talking and giggling, and Elyana chuckled with every joke Quintin would spill."Wait! I want to have pictures with you guys!" Quintin exclaimed in excitement, but the servants insisted because they were unprepared."Let me just take you and Miss Elyana's pictures, sir," Daldalita suggested. "You both look good together," she added, and their companions agreed by smiling while nodding their heads."Eww! No way! Don't pair with this nasty man," Elyana protested to make fun of Quintin, whose facial expression suddenly changed.His smile faded along with the excitement he was feeling. He didn't have a picture with Elyana, and having one would be memorable enough for him, knowing how close they were."That's too much of you. Do I look
Third-Person POV"W-why you seem so concerned about that?" Felicity awkwardly chuckled and continued, "Quintin is a human too, you know. Who knows, maybe there was a problem in the office or some client called him and they were having some misunderstanding."His reasons didn't satisfy Elyana's curiosity. It was evident on her face, and because Felicity knew the real reason and was afraid Elyana would find out, he immediately thought of other excuses he could use to convince her."You know very well, girl, how stressful it is to manage a real estate company. You were in the same fields before. He was off to work and being the boss—he wouldn't really take a peaceful day off like normal employees."Elyana frowned, trying to remember if Quintin mentioned he took a day off for them when they were with him at the mall, and it seemed he didn't."I'm not sure if he took off today. Did he? Did he tell you?""I-I think he did," Felicity stammered. He took a little pause, pretending to be thinki
Third-Person POVFelicity started his work right after reaching his office. From time to time, he stopped to wonder and asked himself what the tears were for when he was hugging his mother. By that time, he knew he felt fear but was confused about what exactly it was for when there wasn't even anything he would be frightened about.He tried cleaning his mind by repeatedly telling himself about that and distracting his mind from those by sticking his nose into all the files he needed to review to find a match between the new and old clients he had.It was a challenging task. He needed to be delicate in matching them, and getting distracted shouldn't be in his way.Around noon, his secretary knocked on the door, asking him if she would order him food. She had her packed lunch, but it wasn't enough for two people."Ohemgee! I forgot. I promised my mother I would join them for lunch today!" he freaked out. He immediately searched for his phone to inform him he wouldn't make it, and he pro
