Nishane's Point Of View AT SEVEN o'clock in the evening, Clifford and I made our way to a respected steakhouse run by the man who identified himself as my husband. Once more, I'm disguised but, not the typical one I can still make out. This time, we made sure that I won't be identified because, rather than a cap, I'm sporting a red wig.Clifford questioned me as I sat in a seat that was empty, "Will you be okay?"The table is actually only reserved for two people. I decided to speak to my mother on my own, as we had agreed with Clifford. Even yet, I declined his invitation to come and support me. My anxiety is real. For a few of weeks, I didn't see my mother. For a few weeks, we didn't communicate. And I must admit that I am speechless when speaking to her. Now that I am aware of why I was in Clifford's care, I am at a loss for words.And I am confident that Clifford, despite his great worry, understands how I am feeling right now. However, I assured him that I can handle it on my

Nishane's Point Of View "ARE YOU scared, my naughty wife?"I snorted and glared at Clifford. "I am not, okay? I just feel uncomfortable!" I refuse. I looked around the entire area in front of me and I couldn't help but to shiver. "This place is horrible!"I still find it hard to believe that I am standing in front of the enormous structure he refers to as their headquarters, which has the appearance of a hideous and magnificent residence. I still have trouble forgetting my initial visit to this place, and it still gives me a creepy feelings because of what transpired there. Even now, when I think about that, I still get the shivers, but if I don't get over my fear, I'll never be okay. Because they are now a part of my daily reality, I must confront my anxieties and concerns.I somehow came to terms with the fact that this is indeed my life after talking to my mother. I have to admit it now. And even though I hate to accept the fact that this is my life now, I should. "Tell me if

Nishane's Point of View I SOUGHT to forget about my mother as soon as I made the decision to move on with my life. I'm still hurt, not because I'm angry with her. I made the decision then to stop thinking about her in order to stop being so heartbroken. I choose to put an end to considering her justifications. Even though I am holding Clifford's arm, I have quit wondering what I'm worth and will keep trying to find peace of mind.I came to terms with the idea that I could not return to the life I had before and began living it as the wife of the richest CEO in the whole world. My adolescent years are finally over. I must make way for a mature and serious one.I've also spoken with the Aces. And to this day, Allison continues to irritate me. Since that was the first time I met her, I'm still baffled as to why she was so upset with me. I don't understand why she is so angry with me. Why does she despise me so much? Did I ever do her something that I don't recall doing?Or...Possib

Nishane's Point of View "GO AHEAD. Eat more," I said and placed a ladle of dishes on him. When I did that, I inhaled deeply. It's something I don't typically do. I detest how awkward I am behaving.Several days have passed and we are, once more, here in the dining area. I cooked for him again since I wanted to ask for something. I didn't have the chance to tell him last time because Aces needed him that time. So I want to try my luck again. Hoping that he'll give it.Despite my anxiety, I want to tell him something. I say this because I'm uncertain if he will grant my request. He may or may not like it, I'm not sure. For me, it won't be a huge problem even though this will be the first time I've asked him for a favor. Because he begged for my presence in his life, it is the least he can do.Still, I'm at a loss for words. Something kept me from speaking, even though I wanted to. I'm sure I'll insist nonetheless, though. I really don't want our misunderstanding to stem from this.C

Khlea's Point of View"Are you okay?" Allison asked me after the private doctor who looked at me left. Here they took me to our private hospital, where only we can be patients.I nodded in response. "Yes. I wasn't fooled. It's a good thing my reflexes are fast." I took a deep breath while looking at Allison.She was just looking at my bandaged arm. "Mr. Tuazon's behavior is very bad. Even if we don't investigate it, we immediately know that Mr. Tuazon is the mastermind of the ambush that happened to us.""Does Clifford know what happened to me?""Yes, I told him.""I am sure he has gone so mad.""You know him. He doesn't want anything bad to happen to his Aces." Allison crossed her arms across her chest. "Don't join our schedules for the next few days.""What? No way. I can't not be with you. My wound is only shallow and it won't affect my skills, Allison." I don't feel any pain now.I don't have any more wounds now than the ones I received in the first ambushes that happened to us.S
