Carina turned, "is everything okay?" She asked."Oh, no. I mean, yes. Everything is fine," he paused, "I see you're going to the bookshelves," he said."Oh, yes! I want to get a few books to read at my leisure time," she said, smiling.Jayden was impressed. Asides Annabelle, he rarely find women, who loved to read."What kind of books, if I may ask?" Alex said, curiously."I can't really say the books I want to buy in particular, but any book related to business, mindset, sales…whichever book piques my interest," she replied."Alright. See you, next week."Alex gestured to Jayden. He was done shopping, and took them to the sales lady at the counter."How much are these, please?" Alex asked.She made the calculation, and replied, "they cost 58 dollars, sir."He took out 60 dollars, and gave it to her, and left to the car.Jayden did not follow immediately, he stopped to do something."Have you seen a lady on a floral gown?" He asked her."Yes, I have. She went that way," she responded,
Sonia ran to the door, and met the man coming in."Hey, bro. Who was that?" She asked.He passed her by, and sat down, turning on the television."He said he is your boyfriend," he answered, switching channels to find the one that interests him.Hey, baby!" She smiled, excited to see him. She hugged him, but he didn't hug her back.She stared at him, "what…what is wrong?" She asked, touching his face.He slowly brought her hand down, and stepped back. He looked at her—what she was wearing. She had a shorts on, and a shirt that she took from Alex, when he went to buy his clothes. "Nothing. I just came to see you, and give you this." He brought out the flower that he hid behind him, and gave it to her, along with other things he bought for her."Oh, my! Thank you so much. This flower is so beautiful," she blushed, inhaling the scent of the flower, and smiled. "It's so nice," she said."Alright, I don't want to waste any more of your time," he said, stealing glances at the door, as thou
There was surely nothing she could do at that moment. It was already happening, and rather than wish for the ground to swallow her up—which was far from being possible, she decided to face the reality.She could not bring herself to look into his eyes, or even utter a word, but she had to."Hi, Jayden," she said, forcing a smile.It was still like a dream to him; his lost cousin was with him, all this time—in school, and even at work. Yet, she did not deem it fit to tell him. He stared at her. His eyes gleaming with unsorted emotions. The one last woman he had trusted, and believed that she was different from the rest, was actually like the rest. Worse, even.Fernando noticed how he stared at her, as though he would chop her head off in the next minute. He cleared his throat, and Jayden jolted back to reality. "Jayden, meet your other cousins, Natalia and Natasha. They are twins," he said, but Jayden seemed a bit understand."Hi, Tasha! Hello, Talia!" He greeted, finally taking his
They were eager. So eager to hear what he had to say, next."Melvin told me that Imelda wanted to marry her off, to her boss' son, because her job was on the line. I knew that it was time for the both of them to meet. Everything was easy, when Andrea return to Texas, and Imelda couldn't help, but quit her job, and join her daughter here.I had called Peter up to come back to Texas, but he still refused. I tried other means to make him come back, without sounding desperate, or suspicious. Luck was on my side, all this while. Imelda found his company online, as she was searching for jobs to do in Texas. I think she applied for the job, because Peter called back, saying he's on his way to Texas to meet with some clients, and run a short interview with someone, who was interested in joining his company.I met Rita, when I attended a wedding ceremony. I had my men bring her to the mansion, and lock her up. She stayed here for a couple of days, while I watched Imelda's every movement.I
She could not blame him. She would have done the same thing—worse, even. Despite his acclaimed fact about women, he still exempted her, even after they lost contact with each other for a few years. He had seen her, differently. In every thing he did, and said about women, he never included her. He always defended her, and shared almost all his problems to her, even though he found it difficult to. He had cherished their best friendship, and now, she had just ruined it. She remembered that he had showed concern, a few months ago, about her broken family. How he promised to help her search for her father, after their project meeting at Crescent City.Just a couple of weeks ago, he had asked her about her family, if there was any news. She could have told him, then, but she didn't. Even now, she could not explain the reason she hid it from him.The 7 years friendship they had built, was crashing down in front of her, because of a single act. She did not know how he was going to respo
There just kept staring at each other, as though they were participating in a 'staring competition', with none of them ready to say anything.He was surprised to see her. Within him, he wanted to be with her, but recalling the man he met earlier, he became furious."Aren't you going to ask me to come in?" Sonia said, finally breaking the silence."Why? Did he chase you out?" He asked, scrutinizing her face. "Why are you even here? Shouldn't you be with your new man? And, how did you find me?" He bombarded her with questions. He wished she would deny that she didn't cheat on him, but he had seen a man in her house. There was no other explanation for it."Can I come in, first. Please?" She pleaded, giving him that puppy eyes.He reluctantly agreed to let her in. He pushed the door a bit wider to allow her in."Thank you," she muttered."Now, answer my questions," he said, immediately. She didn't reply him, she just went to the table, where the drink was kept. "Where you about to drin
Ben had waited for Sonia to come home, but it was getting late, and she hadn't returned yet. He wanted to settle the fight they had, that was why he came, not because of work, alone. Unbeknownst to Sonia, he had placed a tracker on her phone. He wore a shirt, and left the house to the location."Hi, have you seen this lady?" He had asked the receptionist, showing her a picture of Sonia.The lady had nodded, and directed him to the room, and how to get there, after he had told her that Sonia was his sister.He had reached the room, but didn't knock. He stood there for a while, eavesdropping.He needed to go back home, so he knocked on the door.He could see the dried tears on her face, and that made him furious.He gestured to Sonia, asking her to come out. She wondered what he was doing here, and how he found her, as she did not tell him where she was going to. However, she followed him out."Let's go," he said, nudging her forward. "Wait for me at the reception," he added.He turned
From the moment he saw Alex through the window, smiling sheepishly at the flowers that were in his hands, he already knew that he came to Sonia. He wanted to test him, to see if he would feel bothered by his presence. He had quickly taken off his shirt, and played dumb, like he didn't know that Alex was Sonia's boyfriend. "Is Alex truly your boyfriend?" He asked, causing her to disengage from the hug, as she stared at him, weirdly."Yes, he is. Why?" She replied, demanding to know why he suddenly asked that, when she, and even Alex, had told him that were in a relationship."He's not good for you," he blurted out, like he was reciting the letters of the alphabet.Sonia could not control the laughter that triggered to escape her lips. "Wait, what? I've been with Alex, for more than a year. How can he not be good for me? You barely know him," she defended.She would not waste a second to defend him, anywhere."Right. I barely know him, but I do know that he isn't the right man for yo
