"Giiirl, what's wrong?" Raven shouted when she arrived at the office.I frowned because it was irritating for him to be talkative in front of me but very rude in front of other people."Where?" I asked him."Someone booked the VIP room last night, and they said you were in there, so who is he and what happened?" he asked with a raised eyebrow."Miguel," I answered simply."Whaaaat?" he shouted again.I sat him down and calmed him down because I was fed up with his petulance. I told him everything and how it happened. He almost couldn't believe that I did that, even though I didn't really know the reason why he left me. I didn't even think about it because he was sorry enough, and he said he still loves me."Waaaait. Is it really like that? After he left you and didn't say goodbye, you agreed just like that because he said he loved you but he couldn't stand up for you. What are you, Aira?" Raven lost"I love you," I answered simply."I don't know about your woman; you're weak when it c
"Why did you call us?" I asked Daddy."Your brother called you, not me," answered Dad.I sat at the table and saw that my brother was coming from the top of the mansion."What's wrong?" Ken asked."Oh, it's a miracle you're here, Aira," Meire said.He just arrived home."I'm getting married."We were all surprised by what my brother said, but not mommy and daddy."You know this, Dad?" Meire asked."Mommy?" he asked next.Daddy just smiled, and Ken clapped his hands and stood up."Congratulations, brother," he said."Congratulations, Jan," she greeted her sister."Congratulations, bro," said Miere."Congratulations, brother." I simply greeted him."It's early greetings, but thank you. That's why I called you because I'm about to propose; it's possible that he won't say yes. I want you all to be there, and I'll have an engagement party after," he explained broadly."What if he doesn't answer yes? Your party will be a waste," said my sister."I have a strong feeling that he will say yes
We were not surprised that Meriam came. We were surprised that she was with a man, especially me, because the man she was with was Miguel.There are so many questions running through my mind, like, 'Why are they together? Why didn't Miguel say goodbye to me? And doesn't Meriam know that Miguel has a girlfriend because if he gets close, you'll think he's a leech?"Your eyes are too obvious," Raven whispered.I blinked, then looked at the wine in front of me."Aren't you going to do something?" he asked."What do you want me to do? Get out of here? Fight them?" I answered him sarcastically."Why don't you message him?" He asked again."Do you think he has time to look at his cell phone and answer me?" I resisted again."What are you going to do? Just let him go," he inquired."As if I can do something here," he sighed and stood up."Where are you going?" was the last question I heard, and I walked away.From his smiles, it's obvious that he's enjoying himself. He's not like that with ot
As expected.As my brother requested, we all stayed here at the mansion. Even if they leave early, they return right before dinner.I just work from home; I send papers that need to be studied and papers that need to be signed; that's all I do. The store is monitored by CCTV, and I have a watchman there. I hired a CCTV operator to make us safer and more comfortable. My business is also growing, so I need more employees."Ms. Aira, lunch is ready downstairs. Your mommy is already there," our companion knocked on the door."Okay, I'll be there in a minute," I answered.I went down to the dining area, and that's right, mommy is here. I adjusted my seat and started eating."No one even called me for lunch? Why?" Meriam was defiant."We don't--"Just eat here; they don't know you're there; you're always like you're not there," Mommy interrupted."Tsk," he scolded. I even saw his eyes roll."How is your company, Aira? It looks like you are not working anymore; you are just locked in your r
Miguel has been wooing me for three days. The first day, he texted and messaged me, and I didn't answer because I was so angry with him. What is it that after he had fun with another girl, he would come back to me so easily? He is very bad."Ma'am, someone sent flowers to the gate," shouted our companion at home."Is it for me?" I asked."There's nothing written on it, but there's a card inside, and you're the only ones here, so we thought,"Look," I interrupted him. "Just throw it away, please," I said, and he turned away.I heard him ask more with us here at home, but I just ignored it and closed the door to my room."Just one talk. Listen to me."I only know one person who wants to talk to me; I know he is because even Raven has been used by him. I can't give in because I'm still seething with anger. After all this time, why did he think to explain now? I don't want to be fragile anymore, even though I love you, because I know that in the end I will be the only one who will be hurt
My eyes have been spinning for a while. He talks a lot about the things he did."Maybe you have special training? You speak well." I cut him off."You are the girl I know; you are ugly," he said to me.My eyeball rolled again."What's the reason why you have to pretend? Are you really an expert in pretending?” I asked him again.I crossed my arms when I saw that he was about to speak."I don't know what to do to meet you. I also begged Raven, but even she refused me," he began."You've been saying that for a while, and that's not what I want to hear," I said, raising my eyebrows."Yes, Meriam likes me. From the first meeting, it was obvious to me that he had an agenda."FLASHBACKThe first gathering is a big gathering with the country's big businessmen. While we were at the table assigned to us, various businessmen approached.Daddy accompanied Cheska to the comfort room because he said she might get lost or meet someone and become clumsy. Cheska wears an elegant but too-revealing dre
Miguel's P.O.VI was hurt, but I know if he was hurt more. I don't want to go to Meriam's brother's engagement party. I didn't think he was Aira's sister because they didn't look alike. I know they are both Villanuevas, but I really don't know. When I researched Aira, I only found out if she had a younger sister, but I didn't know that it was Meriam.FLASHBACK"Hey, how are you? It's been a while," the person on the other line said to you.This is his first call since I texted him. I smiled because I admitted that I waited for him to call until I remembered that I was taken."How are you? What's up?" I asked on the other line."I need to attend my brother's proposal and engagement party at the same time, but I will be sad there because I will be alone, I don't get along with my brothers, and I don't have many friends here because I just came from the U.S.," he explained."Well, I have something to say."Come with me, please, then just tell me what you will say when we meet. Exactly 5
Raven and I went out and went to the bar we own. We used to like to sit and just listen to the noise of the environment, but now I want to get drunk. I want to try to get drunk and forget everything that ran through my mind.Raven brought a woman with her, and she is now with us at the table. That's exactly what Raven is like—not a big girl; of course she's beautiful and white, but most of all, she's naughty. They kept flirting in front of me, so I got even more annoyed. They know I'm broken, and then they'll cry in front of me.Lettuce.I just drank until I finished one bottle and asked the waiter for another. The two didn't stop me because they were busy with each other. They just need to undress in front of me. Because they are holding each other.I must have had four bottles of wine when I heard the good music, so I went to the dance floor to dance.I just danced along with other people who were dancing, some with their partner and some with their friend; they were nervous about t
