Zyxhiaxy Warning: R18+I quietly drove to Styx's house. It's been three days since he didn't show up for me. There was a chance he entered the office, but I didn't catch him either. I don't know if he is avoiding me or hiding from me. He also doesn't answer my calls, so I'm worried that something might have happened.I rang the doorbell, but no one answered. His big house looks abandoned because not a single light is on. I pressed it again, and I was not disappointed when I saw the man I hadn't seen in a long time. He walked out of their door wearing only a white T-shirt and boxers."Xhia?"I don't know why, but I quickly shed tears when I saw how much he had changed. I noticed the blackness under his eyes and the weight loss in his body.It's my fault; because of me, he has a lot of problems. I thought I would be happy when I saw him miserable, but it wasn't because the pain is worse now."How are you?" I asked as he guide me sat down on the sofa.He hesitated to smile at me and ste
"How many days have I been out of my mind? One? Two? Or has it been a week? I don't know, but I feel different now. Mama always leaves every night and goes home the next morning, which is unusual. She doesn't hurt me anymore, and that's a big thing, but I can't help but feel bothered."Xhiaaaaa!" Aira, my friend, called me. I saw her running from the hallway, so I quickly stopped. The other students looked at me, so I couldn't help but feel shy."Don't scream!" I reprimanded her while hitting her softly.Aira frowned and held out the thick book she was holding. I shuddered and laughed."You're like that because the man from the other department is flirting with you!"I rolled my eyes before proceeding to walk. "Where did you pick up that gossip?"I don't know if this girl is really just a certified gossip or if the news is spread all over the campus. After all, David was always tailing me last week, so I wouldn't be surprised if it spread. He's too famous, so we can't be together; I d
Styx Syruis was busy playing with his pen when her secretary rushed into her room. There was a smile on his lips as he realised the news brought by her secretary. He's patiently waiting for her to talk and looking at her with a stern face."Sir, Mr. Antonio Xedler passed away last month, and they tried to hide it, but our team was able to know the news." His face remained blank while waiting for more information from her secretary."I—I already talked to our lawyer and—""Has he already transferred the shares to me?" he asked in monotone. His secretary bowed her head, and her knees started to tremble in fear. She knew that once she spilled unpleasant information to her boss, he would lash out and fire her."N-No, sir. His daughter will—"Her secretary was cut off when someone opened the door, which created a noise inside the room. Mr. Styx Syruis slowly tilted his head to look at the person who had the audacity to interrupt the important conversation, but he got halted when he saw a w
Zyxhiaxy Who knows that this is how it feels to see your enemy almost turn pale while wearing a shocked face? It is kind of satisfying, as well as my favourite moment so far."How's the meeting with the board? You weren't gatecrashing the ongoing meeting, were you?" I rolled my eyes and began smoothly shaking the glass of my wine while a small yet sarcastic grin plastered on my lips."Zy, you have no permission to interrupt their meeting, yet you did," he added."As far as I know, I am now the chairman of the board after Dad passed away. What's wrong with that?" I looked at Duex, who suddenly sat up on my couch and secretly laughed when he saw I was pissed.I took a deep breath and crossed my legs while playing with the ice in the drink. I froze for a moment when I remembered Styx's reaction. It looks like he saw a ghost, but maybe he did. the ghost of his past."Tsk. I'm just concerned about you, babe. What does your beloved husband say?" I almost spit out what I was drinking at the
Zyxhiaxy I sighed in relief after fifty minutes of staring at my white ceiling. I can't count how many times I let out a deep breath because I couldn't get my mind off what happened last night at the party.Styx's face kept running and appearing in my mind. The way he uttered 'I miss you' was so realistic that I almost believed it. I grinned sarcastically and clenched my hand that was currently placed over my chest. I'm still wearing my pyjamas, and my hair is still a mess because I don't have the strength to get up today. I heard my phone ring several times until I got up and answered it."Good morning," was greeted cheerfully by the person on the other line, but I was in no mood to answer and remained silent."Tsk, tsk. Why are you frowning again, so early, ah?" I went inside the bathroom and faced the mirror. I frowned when I saw my appearance. Shit. I feel lifeless.Annoyed, I hung up on him and started to fix myself. I put toothpaste on my toothbrush and started brushing my teet
Zyxhiaxy "I suggest we expand the casino so we'd attract more tourists since our target is foreigners and businessmen. What do you think, Mr. Syruis?" His eyes widened, and he sat up after hearing what I said. Tsk, tsk. He obviously wasn't listening to the meeting because he had been staring at me while playing with his ballpoint pen for a while. He smiled hesitantly before looking around at the people sitting at the long table, who were now waiting for what he had to say. They were all focused on him, so I couldn't help but grin because of his state."I agree with, uh, Ms. Xedler. That's a very nice suggestion." I nodded before continuing. I need to earn their trust as soon as possible. They all still have doubts about my ability, but I won't let them think of me like that over time.I sat on the swivel chair while signing the papers handed to me by my secretary. I still hadn't eaten, so I could feel my stomach growling, but I didn't pay attention to it and continued, but Styx grabb
Zyxhiaxy "The next time you do that, you are no longer my friend, okay?" I yelled at Duex while putting my diamond earrings on my ear. Annoyed, I glanced at him, who was now watching me laugh while resting his two arms on the sofa.He got into my house while I was still sleeping because he had his own key to the house. He was able to enter my house. He hangs out here a lot, so I let him have the key, but not to wake me up so early and during my deep slumber!I fell asleep late last night because I still can't get over how Styx stared at me last night. He looked at me like he was really in love with me. It's funny because while he's happily trying to take my heart, I'm secretly laughing at his stupidity.I was just starting my agenda, but everything was going smoothly according to our plans. We didn't have a hard time because Styx himself came to me willingly and was willing to kneel in front of me to forgive him and do anything just to get me back.I expected it to happen, but not th
Zyxhiaxy That feeling that you thought you were already okay, but it was only temporary. That's when you realise that things won't stay like that forever. Even if you feel happiness and are free, it will also come to a point where you will return to everything when all you have to feel is sadness and emptiness. Even pleasure is short-lived."You said that she's in Florida." I gritted my teeth while my fists were clenched. I shed a few tears that pooled in my eyes before I looked at him."You said she's not currently staying here?" I asked, full of reproach. He shifted his weight uncomfortably and looked straight at me."I thought she was in Florida, too, Zy." I laughed sarcastically while trying to hide the pain that I felt inside me. I looked around the four corners of my office as if I could find the answer to the hundreds of questions running through my mind.When did she get home?And why the hell did she come back?I don't know why, but recalling what happened in the department
