It was a beautiful morning and both Fernando and Olivia were jogging on the expressway.Even after informing Fernando that she was a married woman, he never wanted to let her go because he didn't believe her, and she doesn't look like one.He aimed to get to know her house, so he could tell whether she was telling the truth or not. But then she refused to show him. As they were jogging ging, a call interrupted Olivia, which made her stop and check the caller's ID. It was her father.Olivia rolled her eyes with hesitation if she should pick up the call or not. “ Can you please hold on for a few minutes?” Olivia said to Fernando, who was profusely sweating.“ Alright," he muttered with his breath ceasing. He was breathing heavily because he was almost exhausted.Olivia took a few steps away from him before picking up the call. Silence followed. She didn't say a word, as she expected her father to speak because he was the
Fernando got home and showered up as usual before leaving for work. One can easily tell that this young man was overjoyed because of something best known to him.Immediately he got to the store, he met the long queue in the store as countless customers waited to be attempted to.Fernando could hear many of them murmuring because they had stayed longer than they should have. However, some of them went ahead to complain about the absence of Fernando, who was supposed to be around to assist his boss. He mingled his way through until he was able to get to the counter. As if the customers were controlled by a remote, some of them immediately left the queue and went to Fernando.Thankfully, as soon as he started collecting payments for things bought, the tension in the shop decreased.Mr. Lucas was too busy to say anything to Fernando after noticing when he entered the shop.After a few hours of attending to the customers, they finally got some spare time to speak to each other.Seeing the
Fernando trembled as he stiffened in one place and watched these gangs approaching him with their weapons as though they were going for a battle.He looked around to see if he could find anything to grab to defend himself from this gang, but there was nothing close by.Fernando shut his eyes and took a deep breath and muttered.“ Fernando, no matter what will happen, make sure you fight to escape.” Thank goodness for Olivia, who had been training Fernando. His weight had reduced, and he would be able to run away and escape if the opportunity comes.On opening his eyes, he touched his back pocket, and he felt his phone inside it. Fernando nodded with a chuckle as the men came closer.“ I have to take risks to survive,” he muttered and took out his phone.With haste, Fernando threw the phone against one of the gang members, so he can get a space between them to escape.“ Argh…!” the victim screamed out in pain and fell to the ground with his eyes covered with his palms.Fernando's phone
“ It's late,” Olivia's voice brought Fernando to reality.“ You can join me on the bed whenever you wish to. I'm feeling sleepy already,” said Olivia to Fernando as she climbed onto the bed and laid down.Fernando remained dumb without uttering a word to Olivia, rather, he scanned the room, wondering how she was addressing herself as a billionaire's daughter, and she lives in this poor place.Is Olivia playing with his senses or what? Was she chased away from home because she did something wrong or what? All these questions were running through Fernando's mind, but he couldn't make any sense of them. His mouth was itching to ask Olivia all these questions, but he noticed that she was already asleep, and he wouldn't want to wake her up.Fernando walked closer to the bed and stood there and gazed at Olivia's pale, smooth skin.It was glowing with the electric lights on the ceiling that shone on it, as though she rubbed olive oil a
Frank and his grandfather were in the living room as they discussed partnering with the Smiths' family company.This will enable Frank to be wealthier than he can ever imagine. Frank was overwhelmed and saw that his dreams were becoming reality.His greediness always made him want everything for himself and will always want to be above everyone around him.“ Frank,” the grandfather called out as he rested his head on the sofa headrest.“ Yes, Grandpa,” Frank responded and crossed his legs.“ I got a call from Mr. Smith,” Mr. Sebastian began.“his daughter who traveled out of the city will be arriving today from her long trip,” he explained.“ And what do I have to do with his daughter?” Frank asked, confused.“ Well,” Mr. Sebastian shrugged.“ She's the heiress to his assets, so she has to be present and aware of whatever is going on. This will help her to handle her father's properties after he has passed on.”“ Is she married?” Frank inquired with the thought that he might lure her to
“ Dad,” Olivia called for her father's attention. “ Do you know him?” she asked with anticipation to hear what he had to say.Mr. Smith remained silent for a few seconds before turning around and replying to her.“ Yeah, I knew him a long time ago.”“ Huh? A long time ago?” Olivia was lost and diverted her gaze to Fernando, who had innocently composed himself.“ How did you know him?” she asked her father.Mr. Smith sighed before offering Fernando a seat.“ please have a seat.” he said, and Fernando slowly motioned to one of the sofas and sat down.“ You can also sit, please.” Mr. Smith told Olivia and her mother.Mr. Smith sat beside his wife and crossed his legs as he balanced his hands on the headrest.“ This young man you are seeing here,” Mr. Smith began.“ Once saved you from drowning in a beach a few years ago,” he explained to Olivia, who sat on the sofa with her arms folded above her chest as she rested her back against the sofa. “ He saved me from drowning? When? Because I can'
“ But dad…”“ That's my final decision and no one should question me.” he snapped as Olivia was about to lay another complaint.“ Just get ready to sign the documents the young man who wants to partner with us is coming with,” he announced and stood up to leave.“ Dad, please…” Olivia stood up and ran to him and held his hand as she knelt on the ground.Fernando couldn't utter a word as it was no longer a surprise that everyone hates him, including people he once helped their daughter.“ Please, don't do this to me.” she pleaded with tears dripping down her cheeks as her knees remained on the floor.“ Why do you want to suffer this little child? Haven't you suffered her enough? Didn't you promised not to wrong her again?” several questions escaped Mrs. Smith's mouth. “ Shut up, woman!” Mr. Smith smacked.“ Her future is more important than her presence. Would you be around to provide for or protect her when she is being maltreated by her husband?” he scolded his wife.“ This is the 21s
Frank wanted to ignore what he saw, but curiosity took the best part of him, and he insisted that his driver should find a place to park, so he could climb down the car and go after this young man.Immediately after the car was parked, Frank hastily opened the car door, he jumped off the car, and began running to the gate as if someone was after his life.“ What's wrong with him? Is he drunk?” Mr. Sebastian questioned Mateo, who also jumped down the car and followed Frank. So, also his fellow guards.Mr. Sebastian was lost at this scene. Is anything wrong that he isn't aware of? Because judging from Frank's action, Mr. Sebastian could tell that it wasn't because he mistakenly saw Fernando which made him react like that. There must be some hidden secret for this. Before Frank could get outside the gate, Fernando was nowhere to be found because he had taken a corner to a hidden path, not because he saw Frank's convoy. “ Where's he?” Frank asked the gatemen, who were staring at him wit
