Without Essi, Oneil could have barely survive the aftermath of the night. She's the one he needed the most. It already meant so much for him that she was there, like the whole of the rescue corps to help him and bring him to a place that is better to be called home than the manor. They are back again to the place where Oneil could count his first heartbeat blooming for Essi.Oneil is sitting on the couch and Essi is aiding his bruise. She was careful in every touch she makes on putting the cotton bud near his cheek. But her eyes are sad. Oneil always knew this eyes. Alas, he should never be proud of knowing the meaning of this look from her face. But this remains familiar because of the times that he tried pushing Essi away. "Please don't be sad for me," Oneil said."How can I not?" Essi said. "I'm sorry for bringing trouble to your family. I can't blame Grant if he would think I'm a spy. So I'm sorry that this has to happen to you. He even kicked you out because of me

The manor has entirely changed because Oneil was kicked out. But Niana came and suddenly acted as if she has the title of the First Grandchild that she enjoys the privilege of always talking with Grant. It was supposed to be Oneil’s title. Now it is just a vacant title in the verge of being seated by another. Niana immediately arrived in the manor after Oneil was ousted. Gwyneth couldn’t help but stare sadly at Niana when she took the right seat next to Grant."Are you alright Gwyneth?" Niana wondered.Gwyneth nodded without words while averting her gaze. Niana should be exempted with her disappointment to the Mercators when they pretend as if nothing happened around. Unlike Jacques, they never mention Oneil's name and when they feel like they need to utter his name, they would rather change the course of the topic. Gwyneth knows that she wouldn't like it if they talk bad about Oneil. But they should at least remember h

Oneil’s flight was supposed to be a well-kept secret until the right disclosure. But Oneil is stunned to find out that Gwyneth knew where he is heading for his work in the Oda Infrastructures. “How did you know about this? Did Essi tell you?” Oneil was supposed to surprise Essi. In his rush to find out, he immediately called her while he is heading out of the building. His work is done and could have allot this vacant time to talk right away with Gwyneth in a better place. But he needs to resort to phone call to save himself from making embarrassment in front of Essi. “My friend told me since her father also wants to entrust a project to your company. Her dad specifically wanted to work with your team but Mr. Oda clarified that you have to make a site visit and inspection in the Philippines for twenty days.” “The question is why you can always get this kind of information?” Or maybe Gwyneth is this smart to extract pieces of it? “Well, it is because h

Oneil have been dreaming of visiting a palace and has always thrilled of meeting a queen. But he cannot even recognize her face. Everything was bright, as if they are in a crystal-themed ball where their surroundings sparkle. It is only now that Oneil realized how the place translates to a modern palatial design. They are just in the lobby but he can already capture what beauty lies ahead deeper in this place. He smiles upon receiving the welcoming gestures of the receptionists. He is excited to meet Essi but he needs to contain his excitement.But even in this place, there is still a lot of talk about him. They kept on getting shocked because he also walks beside Mr. Oda. This setting should have been never surprising to them except that they didn’t believe what Director Wendell also attested. That Riley Ramirez is not someone who is living a simple status. They keep on greeting Oneil although their faces show disbelief.When they got inside the elevator, a util

It’s a no-work day but instead of touring to another place, Oneil decided to join the Grand Barn in its tourism program where he could enjoy the day as if he’s part of the ordinary days of the Grand Barn. “You’re back here for good?” asked by the man who saw him playing with the dog in his first visit. “He’s here as our tourist,” Milo said. Oneil knew his name because of the tag on his uniform. Milo is also friendly that they immediately formed better conversations to talk about. “So he really got rich?” the man whispered to Milo but Oneil still hears him while feeding the mud pony  with a bucket of carrots in his hand. “I told you about this. He’s originally rich,” Milo replied. “But you got your own source of money right?” He asks as if inheriting wealth has been an issue. “Yeah, I’m an executive assistant from the development team of the Oda Infrastructures,” Oneil replied. “That sounds cool. The last time we met you, y
