Ares was about to follow Kianna when suddenly an employee was running towards him.“Sir, we have a situation. The CEO of our business partner has arrived and he was requesting for your presence, sir.” “Mr. Guevarra is here??” Ares asked.“Yes, sir….”“Tell him that my secretary will be the one who will meet him—”“But, sir… this is the fourth time that we are going to turn down his request. We might lose this partnership if you won’t be able to meet Mr. Guevarra…” Ares narrowed his eyes as he looked back in Kianna’s direction. She was walking away. He started to think about what he should do but in the end, he chose to go back to his company and meet Mr. Guevarra. While the meeting with Mr. Guevarra is ongoing, Ares couldn’t stop thinking about Kianna. “I have a vision that this partnership would be a success, Mr. Vueravista.” Mr. Guevarra said as he express his happiness for the upcoming partnership of their company. “Anyway, I heard that you were still not dating anyone. Would yo
Everyone has been busy preparing for our upcoming wedding. I am here today at the boutique of one of the most famous designers in the country, Mr. Sergio. He was measuring me for the wedding gown I would wear at our wedding. After the measurement, I went with Miaree and Marcy to shop for a dress that we could wear for the celebration after the wedding."Look, Kia! Green seems to suit you better. Something that suits your complexion." Marcy said, while holding a simple green dress."You know what, I agree with what you said. Actually, I would really choose green and pink to be the themes for all of us. What if we made all the dresses green? And let's make the wedding nature theme. A simple nature wedding?” I was just thinking about it as if my eyes were shining with the idea.* ringing * ringing * ringing *I immediately took my phone out of my pocket. It turned out to be a call from my soon-to-be husband, again. I answered it immediately and informed the two that I would just talk to
KIAHave you ever laughed at yourself while believing in love? The kind of love that makes you blind when all you see are signs. When you are confronted with reality, you may believe that you are the one who is wrong, that you are missing something, and that this is why he is looking for someone else. There are a lot of questions wandering in my head, like: Is it really necessary to be stupid when you're in love? How long was it actually going on before I found out? Why didn’t he just dump me if he was going to cheat? How could he just look me in the eyes every day and lie? Did he not feel any sort of remorse? What did I do wrong? All I did was to love him unconditionally, but I guess loving a person isn't enough...My name is Kianna Myst Saavedra, and my boyfriend, or should I say fiance, cheated on me with my sister, just like all the other cliches in the film. Yup! My younger sister! half-sister, to be precise. The toughness of people's faces. My sister is the one he chose out of
AresA woman slammed into my chest as I was about to walk outside. What is this woman doing just outside my door doing? "Are you okay?" I inquired calmly. She was taken aback when she looked up at me. I was caught off guard when I realized who this woman was.It's her! It's been 8 years, I didn't expect that we'll meet again. I think destiny made us meet again…"Excuse me, you are?" I asked her. I need to double-check that I'm thinking correctly. I know it's her, yet a part of me still wonders if it's actually her. She has changed so much that I don't recognize her anymore…"Kianna... Kianna Myst Saavedra," she answered.It's her indeed! It's like we are destined to meet. It's been a long time since the last time I saw her. She's still very pretty but she looks a little off?"You-"She abruptly covered my mouth, which caught me off guard. "Please!" she exclaimed, "You'll tell me later, but can you tell me where your restroom is first?"I couldn't take my gaze away from her. I'm trying
Kia was surprised and asked Ares, "Are you serious? You want to marry me?" Ares felt nervous when Kia posed the question. He thought to himself, "I'm mature enough to take responsibility and make her feel safe." Anxiously, Ares inquired, "Um... Will you marry me?" Will she agree? She's lucky to have me as her husband. Look at me. Could I still not meet her expectations? Ares thought. Kia was caught off guard by the question. She couldn't believe that Ares was talking about marriage so casually. Why doesn't he seem to understand the seriousness of it? Marriage isn't a joke... Anyway, we can always get a divorce after we're married, right? ... Wait, what am I thinking? Kia, snap out of it! Are you blind? He looks like he comes from a wealthy background. We should steer clear of wealthy people; they only bring us pain. Kia thought to herself. "Oh, no," Kia exclaimed, "never mind. Can you help me find a dress? I really need to go!" Ares couldn't believe that Kia had rejected him. "W
ARES Kianna Myst Saavedra, I'm betting that you won't be sad to see me leave after our two-year arrangement! *Phone ringing* I reached into my pocket to answer my phone. [What's up, boss? Are you coming to work today? "Get all the bidding projects for the company that treated me last night finished. I'm planning to take them over within a week." [You can trust me, boss. I'll make sure it gets done.] "Alright, have someone bring a complete women's outfit to my hotel room, the one I stayed in last night. Also, buy me a house in Laguna, not too big, just enough for an average office worker's expenses, and then transfer my belongings there after cleaning." [Seriously, boss? Are you out of your mind? You want to live in Laguna, and you want an apartment that looks like it's meant for office workers. "Do you want to look for another job? There's a vacancy in the cleaning department..." [...Boss, I promise! I'll get started right away!] *Call ended* … KIA After waiting for 15 mi
"I'm sorry for the delay," Ares apologized. "Did you wait long? I didn't even notice you..." Kia wondered. "It's windy outside, and I don't want you to catch a cold. Come on, let's go inside," Ares suggested. Kia was left speechless, simply gazing at Ares. Why didn't I find him this attractive this morning... I didn't expect him to be this handsome... Wait, why am I blushing?! Kia pondered silently. Ares approached her slowly, and when he was close enough, he gently took hold of her waist, pulling her closer. "Honey, promise me you won't leave my side. Mhm?... Let's... get married!" he softly uttered, sending shivers down Kia's spine. So, this is the marriage certificate. I can't believe I got married like this... It feels like a dream... Kia thought as she held the paper certifying her and Ares' marriage. Ares parked his car in front of a modest house. He quickly got out and helped Kia out. "I'm sorry it took so long... The traffic was terrible earlier. Let's go home," Ares sa
Kia woke up slowly, the sound around her feeling strangely familiar. Hmmm... What's that noise? When she opened her eyes, she realized she was in a small room. How did I end up here? I was in the car before I fell asleep... Still a bit groggy, she rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up in bed. "Is this Ares' house?" she wondered. "Oh, you're awake? I'm sorry if my typing noise disturbed you. I'm just finishing up a report for work. And yes, this is my home. Once I'm done, we can go out for dinner," Ares smiled as he continued typing. "Um... You can wake me up, actually. It seems like it's already evening. I must have been asleep for a while. I'm sorry for making you wait," Kia scratched her head in embarrassment. How long was I out? I didn't expect to sleep this much. It's embarrassing, especially since Ares had to carry me into the house. "I didn't wake you up because I figured you might be tired from all the packing earlier, and you brought quite a bit of stuff," Ares explained, fla
