Mirabel was on the other line and Zachary thought that it was a coincidence that Mirabel called him at the same time he was looking at her pictures. However, he decided to pick up to learn the reason why she was calling."Hi Mirabel, What's up.""Zach, I was calling to remind you of tomorrow. Endeavor not to miss it." Mirabel spoke from the other end of the line."Oh ok, I'll try not to miss it. Even if I did, I'll surely compensate you for missing your mother's birthday party." Zachary replied calmly. He was going after all but wanted to know how Mirabel would react to what he just said."I don't need compensation, I need your presence." Mirabel retorted in a serious tone and Zachary could not help but smile. She was taking this too serious. It's just a birthday party after all, and it would happen with or without his presence.Why was Mirabel sounding as though his presence mattered much?"I'm still waiting for your response Zach." She reminded him that he was yet to say something.
Zachary had just finished speaking with the doctor and he confirmed that he could take his grandfather out. However, he's not allowed to do anything that would stress him out. As soon as he ended the call, he called Chloe and she picked up.It was around 7 am in the morning and the lady was still lying on her bed when Zachary's call came in.Since it was a video call, Zachary could see her sleepy face. From his judgment, his call must have woken her up. Even though she was just waking up, she was still as beautiful as ever. In fact, there was no use applying makeup on the face when she looked so stunning with no makeup on."Hi. Did I wake you up?" Zachary still asked the question even though it was evident on her face."Nope, you didn't. If you hadn't called, I would have woken up on my own. I mean, it's already past 7am and I have to prepare for work." Chloe responded."You also got to work on Saturdays?" Zachary was curious. Saturdays were the weekend and a time of rest for most wor
"Who is it?" Zachary inquired from inside with a little raised tone. "Sir, I've come to let you know that Mr. Nathan is waiting for you. He's already seated in the car." Stone voiced out from outside.Zachary smiled to himself, he thought grandpa Nathan was too eager to go out. He was already waiting for him in the car. Really?"I'll be out in a minute." Zachary stated and Stone left to wait for him in the car. The bodyguards were ready themselves to do their jobs. Zachary thought he could do without the bodyguards because they'd attract so much attention towards them. However, they were following a higher instruction. They couldn't possibly disobey Kelvin since it was him who employed them.Not long after, Zachary joined them in the car and they Zoomed off.***After visiting a resort and a few interesting places, Nathan thought that he'd had enough for the day. To him, dusk was already drawing near and Nathan asked them to go home."Are you sure you want to go home now? Remember, it
The couple could not recognize Zachary because he's completely changed. However, Nathan stepped forward and removed his shades. "Don't tell me you also do not remember me?"With jaws dropped, they both responded in unison. "Mr. Nathan?"They both took turns in embracing the old Mr. "Is this really you?" Mr Miller asked and Nathan nodded his head. "Yes, it's me.""You look different and healthy." Mr Miller could not help but notice the changes in Nathan's appearance.The last thing they remembered, he was taken to the hospital by a strange man who had some mean looking men guiding him. The man came at the nick of time and his bodyguards took Nathan to the hospital while Zachary was at his workplace.Somehow they were happy that Nathan would finally be treated properly since the man looked like a wealthy fella.The perplexing thing was the questions they had kept in their heart all those while. How was Nathan and Zachary related to such a wealthy looking man? If they indeed were related
"What did you just say Zach? You want to get us a house. That'd be too much. I'm sorry, we can't accept such a huge gift. Moreover, it's going to cost you a lot." Mr Miller innocently refused Zachary's offer of a house. They had taken care of him as a child out of their own will. Not because they wanted something in return.They believed that they were brought to the neighborhood at that time for Zachary's sake. The couple were happy taking care of him."Mr and Mrs Miller, Just as you were placed in our lives then to help take care of me, then the circumstance is even. I've just come to return the favor from the deepest part of my heart. You have to accept my gift or my conscience will keep pricking me." Zachary still insisted but the man continued to decline."I know that you're like a son to us but I'm afraid that the gift is too much."Nathan, who had been quiet the whole time, took a sip of the water that was offered to him before speaking."Please don't refuse his gift. Consider
"That would be nice. Quickly, drive me to the nearest mall, so I can get nice jewelry for the celebrant." Zachary ordered Stone who was already on his way."On it Sir."Because there was no time on his side, Zachary hastily ran into the mall to get what he needed. It was the same mall he had come to a few times and the attendant recognized him.Zachary had given her a good amount of tip, so it was why she didn't forget the face.As soon as she saw Zachary, she hastily walked up to him just to assist him. "Welcome Sir, how may I help you?" The lady asked and Zachary lifted his gaze to her."Uhmmm, I'm looking for a nice jewelry set. Earrings and a necklace. It should be simple and classy.""This way Sir." The attendant directed him to a section where he saw varieties of nice jewelries that he became confused. "Can you help me make a choice, I'm quite confused."The lady smiled at him and nodded. "Of course. It's my job after all."She opened a case and took out one if it's contents. It
"Really?" Zachary replied with his eyebrows furrowed. "Did you just say that I've already met the person?""Yes Sir. It's the same girl you paid for her jewelry the last time. She saw me first and before I could avoid her, she's already caught up with me so I couldn't help but be engaged in a discussion with her." Stone replied as he stole a glance at Zachary from the rearview mirror."Ok. That's quite interesting.""Sir, she assumed that it was I who paid for the jewelry. Before I could say that it was you and not me who paid for her item, you approached the car and I had to leave her alone." Stone explained what transpired between him and the black haired girl."Uhmmm… I don't remember paying for anyone's jewelry." Zachary replied and Stone was taken aback with the response."But… I… Sir." Stone was lost for the right words to reply to his boss."But what? If you like her, then go for her. The point now is that I got a nice present for Mirabel's mother." Zachary said as he cheerfull
Stopping in his tracks, Zachary turned to see Mirabel approaching him. He could not help but admire her beauty and grace. As she made her way to meet up with him, her curves swayed in opposite directions with each step she took and in a tightly fitted lilac gown. Zachary was lost in the fantasy world as he reminisced on the time he was staring at her bare body at the beach. His gaze made its way to her lips which were covered in a red color. To Zachary, it was as though he should grab the girl and lock his lips into hers."Hi Zach." Mirabel greeted him as soon as she stood before his face. Her gorgeous face beaming with a smile. If Zachary didn't know right, he'd have assumed that she was the birthday girl.Composing himself, Zachary nodded at the lady before him. "Mirabel." With a smile, Zachary returned her greeting. "You are looking… uhm… stunning." Zachary managed to let out the compliment and he saw her blush."Thank you."Mirabel's face suddenly turned to a ruffle. "Wait. Were y
