Rex Pov...I drop by his office, but I can't talk to him. I watch him busy flipping all the documents on his table while sipping a cold coffee beside him. I want to feel sorry, but I can't, I'm more scared of what will gonna happen. He's an unpredictable cold-blooded man now."Buddy, have a lunch break." I ask bothering him since he will not let any second pass without sitting in his damn chair."Just a minute bro!" He answered not even raising his head. Damn, I miss his cocky grin and fucking signature smirk."Bro, your birthday is right on the corner, where are we going to celebrate?" I ask."I don't have time Rex. My schedule is fully booked. I need to finalize my Subic and Tarlac expansion." He said seriously still buried in those packs of papers. I raise my brows trying to digest what he just said.I sighed, he always throws a lavish birthday party anywhere he wants to, inviting famous people. Where are you Anita, maybe you can bring back my mischievous friend. I can't stay looki
Diana Pov... It's been two months since I gave birth to Arthur and Anita has been missing for almost a year. As the days went Alejandro became more dangerous and unpredictable.Staying with him is a room of hell, but I have to endure everything. If, my investigator has a lead where the hell she is, my life will be free. Though I've been used to living like this for a year, cleaning and gardening isn't hard work anymore, but his backyard and front yard are too spacious. Auntie Sita pity me enough for helping in taking care of Arthur when I'm busy. I sighed deeply contemplating my life if I didn't choose him. The doorbell rang and startled me."M-Mom!" I was startled to open the door."Pack Arthur's things now, I'll take him back to New York!" She immediately said as I opened the door without even hugging or kissing me."Mommmy! You can't do that to me. You left me for almost a year when I needed you!" I protested crying against her."You brought that to yourself, Diana! You know why I
Rex Pov... Alejandro's mother contacted me to meet her without telling anyone. I'm confused why would she ask me that but I obliged maybe it's important knowing what Alejandro is going through."Good morning auntie!" I greet her as I entered their house."Good morning to you too, Rex!" She reciprocated. "Why did you want to see me alone?" I ask upon sitting."I need your help, but I don't want them to know about this favor." Auntie said sternly."Anything Auntie, as long as I can!" I hesitantly replied."Book me the best place to stay in Manila for one week or two, same with my ticket!" I'm definitely surprised by her sudden request, she never travels alone so what the chase this time? I'm trying to picture her and she is not putting on a facade."B-But! Auntie, why are you going to Manila alone?" She just smiled and don't want to celebrate her reasons."I'll send you the booking of your ticket to your email later, but one of our friends in Manila will take care of you. Alejandro an
Anita Pov..."Noona, I guess it's time for you to face your other fate!" Van exclaimed entering my room. "And what's that Van?" I ask puzzled by his question. What would that be besides taking care of my children? I'm already happy being a mother and helping Grandma. "Well, next month is Grandma's fashion show in New York! She will be launching her summer collections." He said excitedly tapping his fingers on top of his knees. He is a model and that's his job. "Yes I'm aware, but I'm not for those Van. I'm busy with Alex and Venus, you know that!" I clarified and fakely smile. I maybe back in my shape but modeling is not my genre. "Uhuh! Everything is set, dear sister. Grandma prepared everything. Don't you worry and take note, I will flaunt my modeling skills too. We are the best highlight of the night! I don't think you want to hurt grandma for saying no!" He knocks on my conscience. I know Grandma is preparing this for a long time and it will hurt her f I will say no again. Las
Diana Pov... When I arrived at the airport, I hurriedly ask the driver to bring me to the venue, the fashion show will end in an hour. I need to reach there before they can leave. Please, Anita, I begged you to prolong the course of time I need to talk to you and bring you home to the Philippines. I silently cried, begging for the time to tick slower. Lord, please help me! I kept praying that I would catch up with her."Hey! Miss, you are not allowed in this area!" Says the guard pushing me out. I know the area since I have been here a couple of times already."Sorry sir, but I urgently need to see my friend!" I retorted. I can't leave without talking to her. "Who is your friend? Ms. Kim is very strict about not disturbing her models!" He seriously asks. Her security was tight. "Oh! Yeah! It's Anita Paloma the last woman to ramp the summer wear collection!" I responded. "What?! Are you kidding me miss!" Irritated response of the guard. "Excuse me! Do you think I'm fooling around
Diana Pov..."Hey!" Vivo greeted me as he enters my hotel room and checked on my surriundings."Vivo, what exactly did you get there?" I ask excitedly. I can't wait to know and don't want to waste my time. "Are you sure you don't know anything about her?" He asks suspiciously looking straight into my eyes."Do you think, I'll ask you if I know?" I answered rolling my eyes."Alright! Take it easy there. I'm not your enemy!" He hissed. "I'm beyond fucking curious who she is to have a special spot on that fashion show!" I blurted. "Uhmn!.. Anita Kim and Anita Paloma are the same person because Kim is her mother's family name! Basically, she is Anita Kim Paloma." He said frowning."What?!" I burst out surprised. "Let's say, she is an inborn princess living out of her shell to be ordinary. I don't get that either Diane but I admire her personality!" Frowning deeply reading all her details he got."Though their genes tell it all. Her princess look with her flawless long-legged! Damn! Sh
Alejandro Pov... When I got to the rooftop of the hotel. I released my resentment and pain in my chest. I cried and cried until I fainted and burst into tears. Before meeting Anita my life was full of fun, excitement, and adventures but now my life is a box of pain, anger, longing, and resentment. They say life starts at forty but mine is a failure. It's the price of my unholiness and being a womanizer. After a year, I saw her, but on a television live show. It pains me so much to know she moved on while I'm here stuck struggling to forget her and hoping she'll come back to me. I shouted until my voice is hoarse punching my chest.Is this my punishment for hurting a lot of women in my life? I laugh bitterly kneeling on the ground and feeling the cool breeze punching my chest. I hate commitment and now I wanted to marry her and be entangled forever. I don't know what is love and now I'm fucking in love and most of all I don't know what is pain when I hurt those women passing my life
DIANE POV...I arrived at Incheon Airport earlier than expected. A bit lucky that I can speak their language or else I would be dead fucking seriously in trouble. Their airport was so beautiful and intimidating. I want to stroll, but I opted to follow my itinerary. I don't have room for another drama, time is gold for me. I mentally note myself. Alejandro doesn't know I'm out of the country. Shit! If, I could turn back time, but I can't. I need to find Ms. Wang for an immediate appointment. I can't waste any penny anymore. I lay down on the soft bed. Oh! I miss this kind of mattress and the smell. It's been a year since I suddenly disappeared from the modeling industry. I cursed and laugh bitterly... I laughed at the fact that my life was wasted for a year because of a dream that I never had. I don't exactly know if I'll be able to return as a model. I know this time that I fucked up big time by ruining my life. Mom was right. I had the perfect life despite just having a mom by my si
