“Why don't you wear this instead of that plain black suit and tie? It looks better on you,” Mistina suggested and showed Luca the white three piece suit.
"Yes, that's what you wear to look like you're going to marry that fly," Farkas said teasingly while adjusting the suit he was wearing. He chose to wear a red suit.
"Shut up, Farkas, how many times do I have to tell you this? Don't call Armadyl that way; you'll get used to it, and that's what you'll call her in front of a crowd," Mistina rebuked her younger brother. Farkas simply shrugged and walked away to pay for the chosen suit.
Luca exhaled a deep sigh. Why is he with them in the first place? He is the only one who should purchase a suit for the charity ball later, so why are his siblings present?
"I heard you met your ex-girlfriend earlier," Mistina said when she turned her attention back to him.
"And where did you hear that?"
"It doesn't matter where; how long will I keep remind
Armadyl is hugging Luca's arm as they walk into the ballroom for their company's charity ball. The woman smiled broadly as she greeted the guests; Luca, on the other hand, smiled sparingly. He wanted to push Armadyl away from him, but it would be too much. He didn't want to embarrass her in front of such a large crowd. "Can you let go of my arm?" he asked, but Armadyl did not move and remained clasped in his arm. It was as if she hadn't heard him say anything. Luca's jaw tightened. He is extremely irritated by this woman. "Are you not paying attention to what I'm saying? I said, 'Let go.'" "Don't expect that from me because it's not in our agreement; I told you, you have to let me do what I want because, after all, I won't bother you anymore after this evening, so relax." He did not speak. Now he regrets agreeing to her terms. They agreed that Armadyl would stop following him in exchange for him being her date tonight. He will not become annoyed or co
Luca stood quietly to one side of the ballroom, and when he saw Mistina stand up from her table and her Fiance, he immediately followed his sister. Misita went to the restroom, and when she emerged, Luca immediately drew her somewhere."What now? Why did you bring me here?" Mistina asked calmly, crossing her arms in front of her chest. "If we keep arguing about Armadyl, you're just wasting your time.""Why is Wren Leath in New York?" he enquired."Wren is my fiancee. Is it necessary for me to seek your permission if he wishes to pay me a visit?” Luca's jaw tightened at Mistina's response. "Besides, who do you think I'll date at the ball? Isn't it wrong if I go on a date with someone other than my fiance tonight? ”"You crossed the line, Mist."“Oh? How come?” she denied, but when Luca punched the wall next to them, Mistina flinched."Don't make me mad," Luca said emphatically, threatening his sister. "We discussed this before, I agreed to your plan. I ma
"Who’s the person behind the attack?" Carnation questioned Wregan again. "What! Answer me, Wregan. Who?"The young man sighed. "I honestly didn't want to tell you this, but you had a right to know the truth.""If you're truly concerned about me, why don't you answer my question? Who ordered to hurt me, Wregan?""Mist…."Carnation was completely taken aback. Mistina Lindenhurst, Luca's older sister, was the only Mist she had known. Why would Mistina do such a thing? Why would Mist want to hurt her? She has no recollection of a misunderstanding between her and Mist."A-are you sure?""Yes.""But why?" she asked, confused."So she could have control over Luca," Wregan explained. "The truth is... I've long known who was behind Farkas' stabbing, and I didn't just tell you because I was hoping you'd give me a chance now that Luca's gone to confuse your mind."She gave Wregan a menacing look. "And do you believe my decision will change? Luca is lon
Two years later. . ."Ma'am, good morning.""Good morning! Has my brother arrived yet?" Carnation inquired as she entered her own office."Sir Wren hasn't arrived yet, but I'm sure he'll be here soon; he and his wife only arrived last week after their honeymoon," the secretary informed her as she followed her inside the office."Is that so?" Carnation removed her suit and leaned back in her swivel chair. Her secretary went straight to her office's small pantry to make her a cup of coffee. "What happened at the meeting called off by my older brother?""I've rescheduled the meeting; it will be later at 3pm, and I hope your brother shows up," Carnation shook her head at what her secretary said. Her older brother had to have worked at the office last week. The issue is that Wren may not want to leave her wife alone. Tsk! They've been on a three-month honeymoon in various countries around the world, and he still doesn't want to be sepa
"It's good you came in today? I really thought you were going to give me your company," Carnation said as she entered her older brother's office. When her secretary informed her that Wren had arrived at work today, he went straight to his office. "I can do that; do you want to?" Wren jokingly replied. "No thanks! I never desired to be a CEO; I'm happy with my job and my wealth." Wren chuckled. It directed her to the office's lounge area, inviting her to sit there, and she did. Wren rose from his office chair and sat on the couch opposite where she was. "Mistina and I were unable to return immediately due to a problem with their family after our wedding, and we had a lot of work to do at home last week, so I couldn't attend work either," Wren Leath explained. "So... How's married life? Are you happy now?" she asked, trying not to sound bitter. She simply did not have a positive experience in her previous relationships. She was hurt the first ti
"Ma'am, Sir Wregan is waiting for you downstairs," Carnation's secretary said as the woman entered her office.She frowned as she lifted her head from the papers she was reading. "What is he doing in the lobby? Why didn't he come up here?""He told me to tell you to come down," her secretary replied with a shrug. Now, what does that man need from her, and why doesn't he come to her instead?"All right, just cancel the meetings for today. I had a strong feeling that one guy would run away with me from work again. He probably heard Wren is back," she said as she placed the items on her table."Okay, Ma'am. Should I also inform Sir Wren of your and Sir Wregan's day off?""No need. Knowing Wregan, I'm sure Wren already knows. Wregan probably told our brother that we were leaving." Her secretary nodded and returned to her own table.When she entered the lobby, she noticed Wregan standing in front of the reception desk, flirting with the reception
Wregan helps her get out of the car. He took the box of triple chocolate cake they had purchased from a well-known bakery from her grasp. They left Batangas and arrived in Manila in the afternoon, but got stuck in traffic on the EDSA on their way to Wren House, so they arrived late.They entered the main door of their older brother's house together. When one of the servants saw them, she immediately greeted them."Good evening, Ma'am, Sir." Carnation smiled at the maid."Where is Wren?" Wregan asked and looked around the living room but there wasn't even a single person there."They're already in the dining room, Sir. Let me assist you with this, sir," said the maid, taking the box of cake from Wregan's hands, but Wregan refused to give it to her. Carnation couldn't help but stare at her companion."What are you doing?" she asked Wregan, lightly kicking him on the feet."Sir,—"No, it's fine, I'll handle it; ju
Carnation had been reading the report she was holding, but she didn't understand much of what she was reading. Her brain isn't working. It was flying around somewhere, and it was really bothering her! Why does she need to see Luca? He could have stayed in New York his entire life and never returned to the Philippines."Is there a problem? You've been reading that piece of paper for far too long," Lizette observed as she placed the coffee cup on the center table.Carnation shook her head in a series of motions. "No, I just don't understand what it says.""Why? Is the content of that one piece of paper too complicated?" Lizette sat on the living room's carpeted floor next to her and peered at the paper she was holding. "Ow stupid! How can you understand that when there's nothing written in the piece of sh*t! Mauve, I know you've got a problem. Tell me. What is it?"She exhaled a sigh. Should she inform her? Luca is with his brother. Did Lizette know that he
