Anna woke up 1am, midnight. She slowly opened her eyes, and felt something soft close to her. She knew Romeo must have brought her home because the last thing she recalls was passing out.Anna help herself up from the bed, she tilts her head to find Billie laying beside her, and a smile finds it way to her lips. Billie must have been worried sick for her to be laying on her bed. She probably would have cried her eyes out.The noise she heard coming from the living room got her attention, and she slowly eases her step down from the bed.Anna put on her bedroom teddy slippers, and grabbed a stick from the corner of her wardrobe. As she led her way to the living room, holding the stick tightly, She took each stride after some seconds to lower the sound of her step.After she successfully made her way to the living room, she came into view with two figure feeding themselves junks while they work on their laptop.Anna heaved a loud sigh of relief, and it got their attention. She wiped the
Beatrice's eyes were swollen from crying. Ashley has been the one consoling her, but to no avail, it keeps deteriorating. She saw the news about her house earlier this morning and fainted, until her husband sprinkled water on her, before she woke up.The moment she passed out, after seeing the news, he was perplexed about the whole thing because he doesn't remember getting her a house.She had requested for one, but he promised to get it for her on her next birthday, and that was before he found out she and her daughter's framed Anna.He promised himself to fulfil her wish once she apologized to Anna, and that was when she stopped coming to the house, and moved into a hotel.Her coming back was sudden, he didn't expect to see her. The entire fire incident got him worried. How she was able to get herself such a mansion, when he doesn't remember getting her one.She always demanded for money from him, but that only wasn't enough to get herself such a mansion in a government reserved are
Christ disguised himself and stood 15 feet from where the deceased girl was about to be lay to rest. He had to attend her funeral to pay his last respect to her.He has been feeling guilty of what happened to her, maybe if he had not visited her at the hotel, Beatrice wouldn't have killed her, she would still be alive.He felt tears forming in his eyes, and quickly wiped it off. Christ has never cried over the death of someone. He has never felt the way he felt today, he was totally devastated because of the girl's death.In the count of three months he has lost three people, Jude, Lorenzo and now the poor girl. Who's next? Has been on his mind, he doesn't want to lose anyone to his enemies.He was deep in thought when he felt someone dragging his suit trousers. He looked down to see a small boy not more than seven years old, looking up at him."If you came to pay my sister your respect, why are you standing here? Are you not her friend?" The little asked, and wrapped his hands with t
Anna was deep in her thoughts, her hands rested on her cheeks. The unending gift from the unknown figure has been on her mind. There's no reason for someone to keep sending her gifts while his identity is hidden.At first, she thought it was Christ, and later she was mistaken about it, not that he knew all of her favorite. He wasn't the one sending her gifts.And each time she opens the box, it's the same gift, and there's just one person who would always send it to her, and that person is long dead. She has been thinking if he is the one, but there's no reason for the dead to send her flowers.Anna sighs, and drops her hands from her cheek. She sat upright, and started to type on her laptop. Just then, she heard someone hum mm, and quickly looked up."Romeo, when did you get here? Have you been standing there for too long?" She asked, and stood up from her chair."If you're bothered about something, share with us, there's a saying a problem shared is a problem half solved, don't you
Henry just hung up on a call, and turned to the screen in front of him. He was engrossed in the movie, when suddenly, he heard his doorbell rang.He furrowed his brows, and turn to the door, wondering who it could be, at this time of the night. He dropped the TV control, drop his legs down, before he stood up, and stride to get the door.As the door flung open, he froze in his stand, with his mouth slightly parted, as he ogles at her."Ain't you going to let me inside?" Beatrice asked, and slightly moved his out of the door."What are you doing here this late? What about Lee?" Henry asked, and closed the door.He followed her to the couch, and sat close to her. "Why do you look this way? Have you been crying?" He asked, and wipe out something from her eyes."You knew about my house, didn't you?" Beatrice asked, taking him by, surprised."You never told me you had a house, how do you expect me to know? I only found out earlier today when watching the news."Because she hid it from him,
Anita pace furiously in her office, thinking about the incident from the other night. She still can't believe how Anna knew she tried to kidnap Billie, and made the girl got kidnap in place of her.She's also been thinking if the fire From her mother's house, was also caused by Anna. No one knew about that her, except for her, her mother, and the engineers who worked on it.There was no way Anna could have known she told her spy to take the girl to her mother's mansion. Everything were confusing to her, and she couldn't think in her right state of mind.The door to her office suddenly crept open. She halt and came into view with her mother, her face still obvious she hasn't stopped crying."Are you okay? What brings you to my office this early? You still haven't stopped crying? It's not as if you lost everything, we have father's wealth to inherit."Beatrice dropped her bag on her desk. "Anita, you know how I built that mansion, you know how much effort I put into it. That's not all,
The next day, Anna and Christ stood in front of the judge inside the court with both their fathers, Billie, Romeo, Steve, and Ray behind watching the soon-to-be couple's. The judge brought two papers and gave one to each of them, with a pen already beside them. Christ and Anna looked at each other and smiled, they were both eager to sign the papers, and be pronounced husband and wife. The judge cleared his voice, "As you sign the papers, you both will be legally bound as husband and wife. This marriage can only be separated by the court. If you both consent, go ahead and sign the papers." The couple's looked at each other and nodded. They picked up the pen, and signed on the papers given to them. "Very well, then, I now pronounce the both of you as husband and wife." The judge said, and the little audience applauded. Christ pulled Anna into a hug, before they turned to their family standing behind them. "Congratulations, you shall have a blessed home." Mr Lee said to the couple's
Ann and Christ lay on the bed, staring intensely at each other, with smile's etched on their faces. Christ crawled his hands up to her face, slowly patting her hair. They were both in love, and you could see it boldly written on their eyes. Getting married is a dream come through for them, especially for Christ, who wants nothing than to always be with her. The woman he has always wanted, the woman who is slowly changing him into a better person. With Anna besides him, he believed he will have a good life sperm. Anna was happy, but she did not know how to express it to him, she wants to spend her lifetime with him. The chirped of Anna's phone made them retracted from their stare to her phone. Anna was about to spin around to get her phone, but Christ stopped her. "Wifey, you can't pick up calls, this is our first night as couple's, I need all the time in the word with you." He said, and pouted. "I'm sorry, I need to pick up that call, it might be very imperative, and I wouldn't
