"This is Paradise Hotel, and we're staying there for months." Miss Michelle said as she walks me around.
"Aunt Helen managed this before ... before the chairman got sick. So when the chairman got sick and couldn't walk, she decided to hand over the management to me." She told a story.
"At first, I was like; seriously? I am managing this whole island? God! I'm a model not a business woman!" She said laughing as she rolled her eyes.
"Y-you're a model?" I can't believe that she's a model. Not that I doubt her ... of course she's beautiful. She's more than just a model!
"Yeah. But that was just before ... during my teenage. When I turned twenty, there that Aunt Helen started training me in business management." She smiled again. I smiled back. She continued sharing her experience in managing this island while I just continued to listen.
"This will be our
"Congratulations on our job well done!" Michelle who was overjoyed with the outcome of the renovation."Group hug!" She added, so we hugged in a group. We looks like teenagers who are excited about the school project that we had just finished. It was an awesome feeling!"And because of that, let's celebrate!" That's Gab. I was also surprised when he held my hand then he kissed me furtively on the cheek. I was stunned for a moment. I was also stuck in my stand because I didn’t expect him to do so.The formerly happy and noisy Michelle gradually faded the smiles on her lips. Maybe because she's shocked too? I don't know. But I feel it seems like ... she's hurt."T-thank you for the inspiration." He said shyly. It's embarrassing when I get angry to him. Maybe he was just got carried away because of the excitement he feels, so I just smiled."It's okay... but don't do
It's been almost three days since I discovered that truth between Andrew and Michelle.After all, it wasn't a big deal for me. But I couldn't understand myself why it was so hard to accept. That they cheated on me.Michelle has been trying to talk to me for three days to explain ... so has Andrew but I'm not ready yet. I'm afraid there's more to it than that I'll find out why they did that. I know they have their reasons. But still thinking about the possible reason, I'm having a hard time.That night I just locked myself in the room. I knew it was supposed to be Michelle and I's room but I ignored it. I didn’t want to talk to or see them so I did that.The next morning, when I knew it was time for our flight back to Manila, I just went out there. I didn't greet them or even talk to them.Even Gab was wondering too but he did nothing.When we arrived in Manila, the next mo
"Why are you here?" There is nothing as cold as that voice.I'm here now in Drew's office to pick up the other things I left behind. I thought he's out of the country ... said his new secretary."I just have something left." I raised an eyebrow in response."Sydney let's talk." His tone was angry. I could hardly breathe as he violently closed the door of his office."Why did you resign? Because you don't want to know the truth? You're afraid to face it?" I'm confused by what he's up to now. It seems like I did something wrong without forgiveness."Why Drew? Why did you ask that? Can't I just avoid trouble? I don't want to see you because I'm confused! My life is quiet now and I don't want trouble anymore!""Really Sydney?" He wiped his face. He seems to want to hurt me but he just keeps i
Due to the blurring of my eyes, I did not notice someone walking in the direction I was walking."What the fuck?!" She shouted angrily at me. She also slapped me hard, causing me to feel dizzy for a while."S-sorry .." I stuttered. I also bent down to pick up the things she had dropped. My long hair also covered my face as I did that. When I found all her belongings I slowly stood up to hand them to her."I'm sorry again." I'm embarrassed to say."S-sydney?" Her face was shocked. I even surprised too."Belle?""Oh my God! Sydney?" Her dull and furious face earlier was replaced by ecstasy. She immediately gave me a tight hug. I just stayed where I was."Sorry! I'm sorry my dearest cousin!" She said sincerely, "Wait, are you crying? My God! How are you?" She continued."Belle!" Aunt Fely's voice was deep. That means she's angry
I slowly opened my eyes because of the heavyweight that I am feeling. I also felt pain in my cheek and head.When I finally opened my eyes I was so shocked. I was in an unfamiliar room."Thanks God you're awake!" Michelle's worried face flashed at me. She also quickly poured water into the glass and handed it to me."Drink this," I weakly took the glass, and as she wanted me to do, I drank its contents. I smiled at her after. I also handed her back the glass afterwards."W-where am I?" I feel my weakness based on the tone of my voice."I brought you in my condo." Her face was still worried."Mich ... thank you for helping me." She smiled at me. She also took my hand and squeezed it slightly."You're always welcome Syd. You're like a sister to me, and I'm willing to do all I might for you. Just don't hesitate to
It was exactly five o'clock when I got home. I slowly opened the door to make sure Sunny couldn’t see me. Especially since there are still bruises on my face."Momma!" I was so shocked when Sunny greeted me as soon as I opened the door. I was grabbed by my chest in shock."Momma what happened to you?" Extreme concern began to draw on my daughter’s face."Momma, what's this? Where did you get these bruises? Momma!" I didn't know how to answer her because tears started to well up in her eyes."B-baby calm down, okay? Momma's fine." I calmed her down. But she just shook her head as her tears continued to flow."Is this the reason why you didn't get home last night? Who did this momma? Why did you let them hurt you like this momma? Momma why?" I gently touched her cheek to calm her down from her crying. I also hugged her tightly because I kne
It's been two weeks since Andrew and I last talked. Since then I haven’t had any news of him yet, except that Michelle said he was abroad, with Belle and aunt Fely.I also heard that their wedding was on last week of October, which is next week. It was the wedding of Andrew and my cousin Belle. Well, I'm happy for them. It's okay for me because I am happy and contented with my daughter, Sunny. She's much better compared with anything else.Aunt Fely didn't bother me anymore, probably because I gave in to her wanting me to stay away from Andrew for Belle.Today is Sunny's sixth birthday! We were celebrating her birthday in Jollibee—at her favorite restaurant."Momma!" She just came out of the room with Grace. She's wearing a barbie dress. I bought her dress three days ago at the mall. She loves barbie so much that's why she's happy wearing it.
I am here today at the Claveria's mansion to talk to Andrew. Today is their wedding day but I don't care about it, all I care now is to make my daughter happy.Its been a week since I found out that she's suffering a blood cancer. Each day that passed seemed like a sharp dagger being slowly thrust into my heart. It is painful to see with your own eyes the condition and suffering of your child.If I could just take the pain that Sunny is feeling ... I hope I did. Each day was a torture for me, seeing my beloved daughter enduring her pain.—and as a mother, I don’t want to be selfish, especially now. I want to fulfill her wishes. I want my daughter to be happy. I want her to be strong... not even for me, but for herself."Oh my God! Sydney!" Michelle who immediately greeted me with a tight hug. We haven't talked for almost a week because I'm busy watching over Sunn
