"Nana, how much do we need?""One million pesos, package deal for all the expenses." This is amount is not a joke but there is nothing to lose if I try."I'll try," I said then dropped the call.I didn’t know what to do, and I am a total mess right now. I don't know if I will make the right decision but I don't have a choice.While thinking of the right thing to do, Asher came so I immediately stood up and approached him."Can we talk?" I started."Spill it," he said then loosened the necktie."Can I have an advance payment?" I ask and he looks at me seriously."What? Are you fucking kidding me?" I feel his annoyance."I really need.""You're only one week into your job and you ask for an advance?""I really need money. I'm going to work with what I'm going to get and I'm going to pour my time into my work." He didn't say a word but he couldn't stand it either and he also asked."What for
I’m here outside the hospital while waiting for nana Pacing.I looked at the entirety of the hospital and I couldn’t help but be amazed because Asher grew it based on what he wanted to happen. It's a private hospital but the fee is not expensive.Most of the doctors here are graduates abroad but want to help poor people so the charge is cheaper than others.It was only made private so that the hospital could somehow make money to help others. But it's not because it is private it's only the rich or the middle class can afford it. There are also many poor people who seek treatment here, serious cases are referred by other hospitals and they seek treatment here but the price is the same as in the public.I simply smile at what I thought, he really dreams of helping others ever since I met him. It has always been that he wants to be able to build his own hospital and help everyone. They are also complete here with doctors, orthopedics, generals,
"Charles, his name is Charles, he is handsome, has red cheeks, piercing nose, red lips. He is good at hugging, nice to kiss and I gave him the money because he is sick and needed to have surgery.” Then I smiled at him and touched him on the cheek. "He is my everything, my all, I'm ready to be your slave, to be the bed slave of my ex-husband just to save him, and you know what? Even if it wasn't you, I am still willing to offer to anyone myself just to get money to pay for his operation because I love him, dearly dear more than my own life."I was just shocked by what happened next because all the displays on his desk fell. I saw Asher's fists clench tightly as he looked at me wickedly. His face turns red and I know it's because of the rage of anger."I hope he doesn't survive so you will lose everything you've worked for," he barely said."Don't wish for it, Ash, because you will never find me again, I will be gone like a bubble." I was surprised when he s
"I knew it's you, when did you come back and where have you been?" he asked me so I just smiled."You're asking too much, anyway, I just come recently but not to the mansion, you know, it's hard to face Hunter especially after what happened to Asher and me, I don't want to talk and for sure he will ask a lot of questions." He just nods. "How are you, where's Ulysses?""I just arrived from Canada and I'm okay. Ulysses is with Ley in the US so I just made the most of it alone because for sure when he comes back I won't be free again."Eugene and Ley are still ok, even though they are still separated they are still friends. Ley, despite a lot of going through, remained steadfast."I missed Ulysses anyway, we haven't seen each other in a long time.""So you and Hunter haven't met yet after he is free from jail?""Not yet, when did he come out?" I will ask."A month or a two I guess. I pushed his bill. It seems that he is happy inside and ha
"Ashley?" I looked at the man who called me who was inside the car. When I saw who it was, my tears flowed, even more. It was Eugene. "Fuck, why are you there and what are you doing in this place?" he asked then opened the door and immediately got out of the car and approached me."What happens, I thought you were with Asher earlier?" I didn’t answer his questions because I was still calming myself from the fear and nervousness I felt. So he sat next to me. "Ashley, are you okay?" he asked me again."There's just a misunderstanding," I replied then wiped away the tears."And he left you here?" He looked around. I didn't answer again so I heard him sigh. "Alone, in the middle of the night with no one else with you to think that you are a woman," he added.Eugene let out a series of sighs while I remained silent until he broke the silence again."Ashley, nothing is stopping you from speaking.""Can you drop me home?" Instead of answering
"A-asher?" I turned my head when I felt something hit me and immediately liquid flowed from my forehead. When I touched it and looked, blood was flowing. When I bent down I saw the can of beer on the floor with some still being thrown away."I already paid you, bitch. I'm just waiting for the result if you're still clean and now others will be ahead of me." I can see the frown on his face, he is drunk and he is angry base on his expression.The blood kept flowing on my forehead but I ignored it. I just wipe it with my hand as if nothing happened."You're wrong in what you think Asher, Everything you’ve witnessed today is all wrong but you did not give me a chance to explain,” I said."Why, did you do something right? Even marrying you is one of the big mistakes." He then picked up a can of beer next to him and drank again. "Remove your dress in front of me." He commands me."What?" I asked and started to get nervous."I said undr
I entered the room and greeted them but Agatha just raised an eyebrow at me. I saw the other one with her.Paula Collins, Kyla's half-sister.“The boss came earlier than the PA,” Agatha whispered but didn't look at me.I ignored what she said, to think that I was even fifteen minutes ahead. He was just early today so he was ahead of me. I went straight to my table to check Asher's schedule when I felt someone approach me.When I looked up I saw Agatha standing in front of me."Why did you come back?" she asked slowly while looking sharply at me."Stop it, Agatha, she's working." Asher rebuked her."Are you on her side?" Agatha asked Asher."Why would I, she's in my office and my PA and she's working so bother her." Then he kissed Paula who was now hugging him.Do they have a relationship?Agatha hit my desk then walked back to Asher’s desk."Have you heard it, Paula, Asher doesn't care abo
I held Charles' hand. Even if he doesn't speak and just stares at me I know he understands me. I feel so sorry for him especially now that his whole body is full of devices. He is also on oxygen to support his breathing because his oxygen level is dropping."You'll be fine, won't you?" I started as if he could answer me even without a word coming out of his mouth. I know he understood me.I missed his laughter and tenderness so much."Isn't it Charles, no matter what happens you won't leave me?" I asked while holding her hand and kissing it. "I've lost everything and I can't get my old life back, I traded them all for you because I knew I would sympathize with you. So please don't leave me because I don't know how to live if I lose you." Then I put my head on his stomach and there I cried and cried.When the tragedy that changed my life happened to me, I lost all hope. I feel like I want to die and I want to end the nightmare I am going through. I had no
