Traizle "Won't you hug your mother first?" My mother asked. I can't still figure it out. What the hell is she doing here in Zarsuelo's company? "Why are you here?" I asked. She smiled again. "I am with someone," she answered. "He is your new father." she added, which surprised me. "And why are you guys here? How did you know that I am working here?" I asked her continuously, trying to know the reason behind their agenda here. "I want you to do something for me." My mother said. I arched my eyebrows at her. "Do you think I will follow you? It's been years since you left us. You did not check on us to see if we were still doing okay. And now you want me to do something? I am not that idiot, Mom." I argued. She laughed. Her smile. Her reactions. Everything about her makes me disgusted just by looking at her. There is no way I will follow her. "I know your relationship with your boss, so you know." she said, smirking at me. "You hired someone to follow us, do you?" I asked. "S
Traizle After what happened a while ago, I made sure to fetch Layzen at his school. Zarsuelo let me go home early for today. I also told Zac that he did not need to fetch him today. "Traizle!" Layzen exclaimed while running to me. "You are not busy with your work for Matthew's company?" He asked excitedly. I nodded. "How is your school today?" I asked. "I learned so much today, Traizle. I know now how to add and subtract. My teacher told us that she would teach us multiplication and division if we did not make trouble." he answered happily. Multiplication and division are too advanced for kindergarten. But Layzen is enjoying it, so I don't think I should worry about it. When we got home, I quickly prepared our lunch. Lyndon is on the way too. His class just finished a few minutes ago. I hope he read my messages that I wanted him to go home early. It is time to tell them that our mother is here. "Layzen, Traizle, I am home." We heard Lyndon say before entering. "Change first so
Lyndon "Oh, Lyndon?" Kelvin asked when he saw me entering the Snack Bar. Yes, I am now here at the Snack Bar. "Your sister is not here, though? Are you going to eat here?" he asked again. I scratched my head. I am here already. I should do what I planned to do here. "Uhm... is Archane here?" I asked. "He is out for delivery but will be here in a few minutes. He takes near-delivery since we can't find a new full-time worker," Kelvin answered. "Just sit while you are waiting for him." he added. I sat near the door of the Snack Bar. I don't have the appetite to eat, even though the food here is good. I decided to kill time by playing online games while I waited for Archane, as I had been missing this game for days. Although I have the time to play it at night, I don't have the energy to do it. While playing the game, I received a call from Traizle. It is a good thing I am wearing my earphones. "Yes?" I asked. "Where are you?" Traizle asked back worriedly. Well, she's been worri
Traizle "Do you think of accepting their proposal, Mr. Zarsuelo?" I halted. "I know, you know how clean this Grand Finance. Accepting Limede Corporation will stain your reputation. Did you talk about this with Traizle? I think—" "She does not need to know about this. That is why I called you here instead of her." I heard Zarsuelo say. No way. I opened the door and looked at the two people, shocked by my sudden appearance. "Trai...zle." "Sorry for the intrusion. Can you please go out for a while? I wanted to talk to him privately." I told Alvin, the Vice President of Grand Finance. "Oh, no worries. Call me Matthew, and tell me your decision about it." Alvin said before leaving Zarsuelo's office. "Why are you going to accept their proposals?" I asked him directly. "You have been rejecting their offer but are trying to accept it without telling me. Did they threaten you?" I added. "They did not, but they sent their new proposal this morning, and I checked it already. I also think
Traizle "Why is he calling me?" I was confused. I already told Zac that I would also go to Layzen's school since I asked Zarsuelo if I could go out for a while, and I am near the school too. "Yes?" I asked Zac as soon as I answered the call. "Can you run faster? A woman here is trying to get Layzen from me." he answered. I immediately ended the call and ran as fast as I could. I told her not to disturb Layzen while he was at school. After a few minutes of running, I reached Layzen's school. I can already see Layzen, who is hiding behind Zac, and our mother, who is also trying to approach him. "Layzen! Zac!" I called them. Layzen ran to me and hugged me tightly. "She is asking me to come with her, Traizle." he complained. "Layzen, you don't have to be scared. I am your mother. Don't you remember me?" Mother asked, but Layzen shook his head. "You don't remember me because Mom left to work when you were young, but I am back now. I can take care of you together with your brother."
Traizle "Don't you dare meddle with our family affairs, Albert!" Mom yelled. "I have the right to meddle in these family affairs. I know already the truth, Isabel," Mr. Andrade said. "Traizle is my daughter. How can you not tell me that she is my daughter and tell me that she is from Louie? You even left the children, Isabel!" he added. I can't follow what they are talking about. They are saying that my father is Mr. Andrade. How come he is my father? How about my brothers? "Wait a minute, Mr. Andrade," I called him. "I don't quite follow what you guys are talking about. Do I hear things correctly?" I asked and turned to my mother. "What the hell is happening?" I asked her. "Do not listen to him, and he is just lying. Your Dad is Louie. How can he be your dad when I was in a relationship before with your dad?" Mom said, explaining. "Can you move and let me go with my daughter now?!" "I won't go with you," I answered her. "I won't go with you. I can provide what my brothers ne
Traizle "What are you doing here?" I asked Lyndon. "Ah, I asked them to come here since I will tell you I am your father." Mr. Andrade said. "Archane, is your son with your late wife?" I asked. Mr. Andrade nodded. "Why? You don't like me to be your big bro?" Archane asked me. "The application letter you gave to our boss was not true?" I asked. "No, all of the information about me there is true, except for my surname and father's name." Archane explained. "Then I am still older than you, idiot," I told him. "Is this the reason why you worked at the Snack Bar?" I asked. I remembered what he told me before, that he had a reason for working at the Snack Bar, and it was because of me. "Yes, I did not initially know that you are suffering too. I wanted to know why my dad cares for his daughter," he explained. "I thought after my mother died, Dad would find you and start their relationship again. I was initially angry because Dad kept looking for you, and I suspected he didn't love
Traizle When we got home, Lyndon and I stayed quiet for a while. Neither of us tried to talk to our home. Layzen fell asleep too. I broke the silence. "Thank you, Lyndon." "You deserve to know it after all," Lyndon answered. "When we were still young, I do not have the plan to tell you. When I heard it too, I was so shocked that I could not believe it at first." he added. He must have been so shocked at that time. Learning secrets you are not allowed to learn is pretty shocking. "I thought, why should I tell you? You are the only one who cares about us. I was scared that if you learned the truth, you would leave us," he said. "We should be the ones who need to thank you. Without you, we don't know what will happen to us." he added. I smiled. "I won't dare do that," I answered. "You are still my brothers, and no one can erase that. I don't expect this either, that the person in business with Zarsuelo is my real Dad." "I don't want to hide the truth when my mother tries to harm yo
