Chapter 7

ALEJANDRO went to see Mr. Chan, the CEO but before he could approach the elevator. The security personnel rushed to him and stopped him from entering.

"Why are you guys blocking my way!?" he asked in surprise.

"Sir, we received a memo from HR that you're already not an employee here. Please step aside sir and we will assist you to get your belongings first before you exit the building," security said to him.

Alejandro was shocked by what he heard. He couldn't believe that he was immediately fired from the company he was working for. And he knows Helena is behind all of this.

He cursed weakly and backed away. He wouldn't be able to handle them if he tried to fight, so he didn't do anything but step back. He returned to his office and began to put away his things.

"Are you gonna leave like this without fighting for your rights?" Jero said. He was sad watching him putting away his things.

"Helena has them all by the neck! And I can't fight them if I am only like this Jero. For

    Chapter 8"WHY were you fired? Did you do something wrong?" said Alfred. He sighed."It was Helena's fault. Because of her, I got fired from my work without basis. Everyone there was siding with her. She even controls our boss' decisions. I can't even file a motion for reconsideration.""Have you tried talking to your boss?""I did but I was stopped by the company's security personnel on the elevator. There was nothing I could do but pack my things.""It seems that Helena has gone too far in ruining your life. Even your job at the company has been taken from you.""That's exactly my point. She went overboard on everything! She's the one to blame, and yet she's still acting like she's very clean. She's like a leech when she clings to her rich boyfriend! She changes when she tastes a luxurious life given by that bastard!" Alejandro angrily said. He clenched his fists tightly."Is her boyfriend really that rich?"Alfred asked him curiously. Alejandro immediately nodded."So, what's your p

    Chapter 9ALEJANDRO went to the manager's office and luckily, he was entertained right away. "Mr. Garcia, please have a seat," the manager offered him. He sat on the couch. "Coffee or juice?" the manager offered him. Alejandro politely shakes his head. "I won't be able to stay longer. I just want to get my mother's last paycheck," he said. "Oh, sure! Let me get it to the finance management," the manager then left him for a while and went out of his office. While waiting, Alejandro stood up and walked closer to the glass window. He pulled and opened the blinds to see if Diego was still outside. Diego was still there and looked like he was waiting for someone. He guessed, he was waiting for Helena, for sure. Minutes passed when his suspicion was finally answered when his ex-lover arrived. Diego was really meeting with Helena. And before he could react, the manager came back. Alejandro quickly closed the blinds and sat back on the sofa. The door opened and the manager handed him t

    Chapter 10ALEJANDRO is now in front of the desktop to attend to his applications. He sends his application to every company he has known and unfortunately he hasn't received any news from them. He clenched his fists. He now thinks that he might be blacklisted by the companies he tried to apply to and he knows for sure who did it. It was Helena or maybe Diego. He let out a heavy sigh and smeared his face using his hands. He stood up and left his room. He caught up with his Mommy Felecia who had a sad face and was obviously troubled. She was also holding envelopes and he guessed they were their house bills. He approached his mother and sat next to her. Felecia suddenly panicked and grabbed all the envelopes. She hid it under the kitchen towel. "Mom, what are those?" Alejandro asked. His mother, Felecia, smiled sparingly. "This is nothing son. Just nevermind it," Felecia immediately denied it to him. Alejandro shook his head. He pulled the kitchen towel and grabbed the envelopes. A

What are you cooking this time?" he asked, making his voice a little lovely despite what happened to him. Felecia turned her head and glanced at him with a sweet smile. "Of course! What else should I cook? It's your favorite." "Oh, a chicken casserole," he confirmed. "Yes. Come on. Sit down. This will be ready in a minute," Felecia said, smiling at him. Alejandro just nodded and pulled a chair to sit down. While waiting, he rubbed both his palms at each other. He suddenly feels so cold. Felecia then suddenly noticed his discomfort. "Are you okay, son?" Felecia asked in a worried tone. Alejandro tilted his head, looking at his mother who still looked beautiful even if her gray hair almost covered her black hair. "Hmm? I'm okay mom. Just a little bit tired," he said with a raw smile. Felecia gave him food

Felecia granted her son's request without objection. After they finished eating, his mother promptly locked herself in her room. He wanted to talk to his mother but he didn't have the courage to approach her. He just let her rest. Alejandro then sighed and went into his room, next to his mom. He swiftly shifted his body weight onto his comfy bed. His entire body quickly calmed down. But this was short-lived since his mind instantly remembered what his father had done. He wants to investigate. He wants to see and determine whether what his mother is saying is true. He wants to ask his father why he left his mother. Even though it hurts to know the truth, he still wants to hear the real reason. He strained for breath. He had a sudden

And I don’t know her personally because we just met just today. Why?” Alejandro smirked and couldn't even hide how disgusted he was while looking at his father. "Are you sure you only just knew each other today? So why are you driving her? Is this her car?” He asked one after another. His father turned paler and seemed to struggle to answer him. “Y-you know what son. I am really in a hurry. Can we just talk some other time? We’re gonna be late in our meeting,” his father said, almost stuttering."Is my question really that difficult for you to answer right at this moment? Why can't you answer me right away? Dad?” His father shaked his head, trying to deny it again."N-not like that son. It's just so private. Can people talk on another day? I promise I will meet you and explain everything.” He cocked his head.

He's almost done and almost reaching the peak of his proposal; and very into it when his seatmate Jero makes a loud noise, like he was shocked and he even tries to call his attention. He was startled and took a glance at his co-worker, Jero. His eyebrows meet when he sees Jero's expression. "What's wrong with you? What happened?" Alejandro asked. Jero then glided the wheel of his swivel chair to get close to him and he was holding his cellphone. "Look bro, have you seen this?"Jero said as he showed him his phone. His eyebrows met again and looked at the screen of his phone. He has seen a live telecast on a famous app called Tok Tok. The videographer shows a luxurious mansion. His eyebrows raised."What is that all about? What's the fuss?" he asked then he focused himself looking at the monitor again. "Don't you use soci

You don't understand me," Alejandro answered. "I'm not going to stop you Alejandro but you must also consider the fact that you leave here at working hours. You know the consequences of it. Our manager might give you a sanction for this," Jero reminded him. Alejandro let out a heavy sigh. "I will get back immediately once I am finished with this matter. I really wanted to talk to Helena and I can't wait for tomorrow." Jero then sighed on the other line. "Fine. Good luck with that. I'll just cover you up here and make an alibi." "Thank Jero," he answered and dropped Jero's call.Alejandro then rushed inside but up

Someone exposed Helena! And your secret relationship with her. Is this you, bro? You did this right?" Jero asked him. Alejandro shrugged. "No, I'm not," he answered without looking at Jero.

    Chapter 5ALEJANDRO cursed as he glared at them. He's disgusted by what Helena told him, which enraged him even more."Damn, you Helena! I will make sure you will pay for what you've done to me!" he said as he stood up. He rode his motorcycle outside of his company's premises. He entered the bar in search of his best friend Alfred. He's the bartender, and he was looking for someone to talk to.WHEN Alejandro reached the bar, he ordered a blue margarita and sat at the corner. "Hey? Such a pleasant surprise to see you here! Did you miss me?" Alfred approaches him as he places the meal tray at the bar island's corner."I just wanted to relax my mind," he simply stated and sipped on his drink. "Hmm, I think you've got a huge problem. Your lower lip is swollen. Did you get into a fight? Tell me, who was it?" Alfred stated as he stared him in the eyes. "That has something to do with Helena—""Of course, it's always about Helena. What did she do to you this time? Did she want expensive s
