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
Chapter 11ALEJANDRO returned home and found his Mommy Felecia preparing their dinner. The aroma of the food quickly went to his nostrils and it made him calm a bit. "Hey, mom? 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
Chapter 12"I won't force you. We can survive without him. I'm here mom. I'll take care of you," he said. Felecia only cried and when his mother stopped crying, he waited for her to calm down a bit. After that, he begged his mother to join him for dinner. 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
Chapter 13"Who is she? Why are you stopping her from coming out?” His father's face turned pale again and droplets of sweat dripped from his forehead. "She’s my client, son. 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.
Chapter 1ALEJANDRO was very busy looking at his monitor screen. He was busy making a proposal for a new advertisement and he's very keen upon making each detail. 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
Chapter 2WHEN Alejandro reached EL Paraiso. He hurriedly ran inside the building after parking his motorcycle outside. But before proceeding inside, he received a call from Jero. He answered his phone. "Where are you? Our manager is looking for you?" Jero immediately asked him. "I'm already here at EL Paraiso and please don't stop me from doing what I have to do, Jero. 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
Chapter 3When a man shouted behind them. Alejandro was released immediately by the security. He immediately sprang up and faced the guy who had told them to free him. Mr. Chan's presence with Helena shocked him. Mr. Chan even sweetly wrapped his arms around Helena, while looking at each other lovingly. "Helena! Is this the man you have chosen to replace me!?"Alejandro shouted in anger."What are you saying!? Don't act like you don't about this Alejandro. Did I think we already talked about this? Can you please stop!?" "No! What the fuck are you talking about! You are my girlfriend and you are cheating on me!" Alejandro answered back and he was teary-eyed.Alejandro noticed Mr. Chan still had his phone. He was filming and appearing in the Tok Tok live program. But he doesn't care. "I didn't cheat on you! Will you stop? We are already over!"Alejandro was shocked to hear that. He clenched his hands. He stepped forward but was taken aback when he noticed Helena wearing an expensive o
Chapter 4ALEJANDRO was enraged, and his tears kept falling. Not because Helena has broken up with him, but because of his hatred for her. He still can't believe she dumped her that effortlessly.He was brimming with fury and he wanted to go back inside, but there was no way he could, no matter how many times he tried.Alejandro reverted to his motorbike, exasperated when he got a phone call from Helena. His brow wrinkled slightly."Now, what do you want!? Are you going to lie to me again!? Claiming that what happened earlier was all a joke and your foolish drama!" Alejandro yelled frantically as he answered the phone."I'm not calling because I want to recant my words, Alejandro; what happened earlier was because of your stupidity, not mine! I'm warning you! Quit messing with me or you'll freaking regret it!"After hearing Helena's words, his jaw dropped."You're unbelievable! I can't believe you're acting this way just because Diego has all the wealth you desired! You're such a dram
