His mother was surprised to see him at the Villa. Ceci brushed her hand to Perci's hair. "You are not with Cali?" She asked while they headed to the Sala.
"Well, I crossed the line, and things between Cali and I became awkward," he replied.
"What happened?" Ceci thought that Perci had confessed to Cali. She knew that Perci might fall in love with her. She had been watching them, and the way Perci treats Cali is different from the other women. He might be irritated with Cali sometimes. However, his eyes wouldn't lie that Cali had caught his attention. "Did she reject you?" she added.
"Yeah. I am nothing against her first love
Nigeel lived inferior to Perci. Although, he hadn't met him in person when he was young. His mother had always compared him to Perci. He looked at the mirror. He holds a grudge against Melbourne's family for abandoning them. According to his mom, his grandfather has thrown them away. He is also a Melbourne, but Perci's family seizes everything to them. Perci became a famous actor and director. What made him angry is that his cousin inherited the company. He inherited none; his mother was right. Those families are greedy, and he has to bring them down. "Those hypocrites let me have the position and acknowledge me as Melbourne because my mom used to blackmail them. They are just acting kind but they are actually hostile with you, mother." "You should take the position of CEO from them. I threatened them
When Perci got home at his parent's villa, he immediately went to his mother."Have you seen the rumor?"Ceci asked. "Whoever did that is actually helping me. However, I think she doesn’t even care.”Perci thought that Cali had not contacted him ever since he confessed. “Relax. Done that, been there. Trust me she will burst like a volcano. Keep on testing her patience. We are lucky because Raquel is filming a movie here for one week. We can use her for a while.” “I will deal with the rumor sooner, let's just hype them then flip the table afterward. By the way, Raquel invited me to a party at her house. Shou
Eyes opened, he couldn't move a muscle because Cali was resting on his arms. He smiled while looking at the beautiful woman lying beside him."Sshhh, your mom might be awake," his left arm caressed Perree. They are living again in their unit. Perree rolled over and ended up resting in Cali's armpit. She felt a cold thing on her armpit. She opened her eyes and found out that it was Perree's nose. "Morning,"Perci greeted her. "M-morning." She wanted to move a bit to create distance between them, but Perree would wake up. &nbs
Cali grabbed the blanket to cover her nakedness. She woke up in an empty bed. She wondered if Perci had left since it's already nine in the morning. She stood up and asked herself where their clothes go. "Maybe he tidies the room before leaving," she uttered while getting a bathrobe. She's about to open the door, but Perci opens it from outside. "Good morning. I was just about to wake you up."He is only wearing boxer shorts, and Cali could not stop thinking about their hot night together."Let's have breakfast," he added. "I-I will take a bath first." "How about we soak in the bathtub?"He leaned on the door as
Cali was walking in the garden of sunflowers. The various butterflies are flying all over the garden. There are also bees that are extracting sweet nectar from the flower. She looked at the sky and smiled because she thought that there was another world behind the horizon. She sees a world painted with light blue heaven with a mix of silvery-white clouds that sometimes overshadow a ball of fire. She also sees birds of nature winging their way across the panorama. The sky never fails to mesmerize her. She followed the path until her feet felt fine sand. The cold wind touched her cheeks. She spread her hands to feel the serenity of the calming sea. Someone hugged her from behind, she smiled and turned around. Her smile slowly faded when she saw his face. "Laurence..." She gasped for air. Her face down to her neck
They are soaking in the bathtub under the moonlight. Perci brought up a topic."Do you want me to escort you to the audition event?" They are cuddling in the bathtub. Cali's mind is wandering off somewhere else. She even forgot that she is auditioning for the major role of the 'Peculiar Morass' "Are you even listening to me?"He kissed her nape since Cali is leaning on him. "I wasn't. I'm sorry, I felt sleepy." She lied, but it's better than telling him the truth. She can't possibly tell him that Laurence wanted to talk to her. Cali had promised Perci that she would never see him. She does not want to start a fight with her husband, but her mind told her not to lie.&nbs
Perci felt insecure when the thought of Laurence crossed his mind. He is scared that Cali would change her mind if her first love would wake up. He knew that he should trust Cali, but he could not stop overthinking. He was distracted when the cabin crew announced that the plane was departing. A Chinese crew welcomed him and guided Perci to the hotel where a business meeting will happen. He texted Cali that he had arrived in Hongkong. Perci is too busy to call his wife. The Hong Kong investor is one of the crucial business partners, thus he had focused on reading the new agreement. In the afternoon, he started meeting the board of Hongkong trustees. The team is presenting their proposal to launch an HK centre that would cater to Filipino-Chinese pop culture.
Cali woke up with her naked body wrapped in a blanket. She was surprised when the door opened, then Perree jumped into the bed. "Perree, come here. Your mom needs to go to the shower," says Perci while holding the doorknob. "What time is it?"Cali asked with sleepy eyes. "10 am. You don't have commitment today, right?" "I have a commercial shoot for Jelai's wedding ring and jewelry." "You have not told me about that,"says Perci. "How am I supposed to tell it to you..." She stopped upon realizing what h
