Vexed 10: Broken Promises
David’s P.O.V.
Still dazed about how things went through, I came back to my office and began scanning her profile. It didn’t even cross my mind that the lady architect was none other than her.
Napasubo na rin naman ako sa proyektong ito ay lulubusin ko na ang pagkakataon. Before meeting her in person, I should have known some recent details about her. Well, as we always had the famous saying: ‘Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.’
Damn it! I didn’t see this one coming.
How would I have ever expected that she continued her post-graduate studies at Harston University in the US after she graduated at the TU Munich in Germany, when all I did before was just to forget her? I wasn’t even prepared for this and I felt like being slapped with the sudden t

David’s P.O.V.I closed my eyes as my heart leaped for a second, after remembering some of those moments that we shared together at the said famous bridge. Those happy memories that she just ruined effortlessly. Those fucking initials—DC and AC. Those remarkable moments that I had already forgotten.Oh, well! Who am I fooling with in the last sentence?I gently massaged my forehead. The memories were like ghosts that seemed to be haunting me every night!Hindi ako kailanman nakalimot. But how I wished I did, para hindi sana ako nagkakaganito!Damn it! I know, I did it… butoverall, I failed! She was a dream came true for me, but a nightmare to deal with.Back then, I tried. I tried the best that I could just to forget everything about her—everything about us. Lahat na nang masamang ba

David’s P.O.V.It was already one-fifty in the afternoon. Actually, kanina pa akong one-thirty rito sa Diamond Conference Room—the largest meeting room in the EGC located on the thirty-second floor.We only had ten more minutes before we start the meeting, and everyone was already here except for that one great lady architect! Describing her as great turned out to be too sardonic for me.Well, in contrast with her achievements, I guessed that she doesn’t know how to do time management and proper work-life balance. As much as I knew, she was only living at *ALeour Residences in Ville Park, and that was only a fifteen-minute drive to *Alabana.The EGC was just located along the *Zambia Road near Alabana, tapos male-late pa siya? Tuesday ngayon—walang traffic at hindi naman rush hour. Dapat nga ay pumasok na siya kanina pang umaga! Sino ba naman ang

Athena’s P.O.V.[December 2015]“Dad, you’ve got to be kidding me! Why do I have to be sent here and work at EGC? I thought that I will be working in our own company? Honestly, I’m not even expecting it to be here!” I was talking to my dad over the phone, and I couldn’t help my nostrils to flare in anger.“You told me that I would only stay here for a few days after I visit Helena and Mom’s graves. And after that, I would soon fly to Japan! What happened now?” pahabol ko sa kanya.It was like… I was easily fooled and everything about our earlier discussion was just a prank!Kahit kailan talaga ay ang labo niya! I was deceived that The Charmed Hotel was our own company’s project, and it would be constructed in Japan. Hindi naman pala!My twenty-four-hour fligh

Athena’s P.O.V.What’s best for me? Do you even know what’s best for me? My mind was screaming like hell. Then, I felt a pang of indescribable pain in my chest.Yes, I turned to be one of the new and young competent architects of Europe like what you’ve always wanted me to be. You’ve showered me with material things. You gave me everything your power could give where sky was the limit. But have you ever thought if I was really happy?I have all the things in life every woman could ask for. But I still hate my life because despite my achievements, I am still living in remorse. I was shattered into pieces years ago and time will only tell when I will be able to fully recover… and it was all your fault!Desperate, I wanted to voice out those words. But would it change everything that happened befo
Sabotaging My Walkout Queen Book 2 Vexed 15: Bumping With Him
Athena’s P.O.V.A few days went by, and it was already the first Monday of January 2016. Now, I had to be at the Evangelista Group of Companies to talk to the renowned billionaire, Liam Arthur Evangelista—the CEO my father wanted me to meet here.Unlike my previous meetups with some other businessmen, I forgot to research about this Liam Arthur. Well, mukhang hindi naman ako ipapahamak ng tatay ko. The EGC was composed of three buildings with towering forty-to-sixty floor levels and owning a company like this could mean that the CEO was highly commendable.We were supposed to meet in the morning, but I had to personally fetch Nadine in the airport. She could ride a taxi, but it was my personal choice to fetch her.Nadine had to stay in Germany for two more weeks because of C. Dana Creative Designs or CD Squared—my own architectural firm in Europe. However, my father

Athena’s P.O.V.Liam Arthur Evangelista went out of what I thought was his ensuite restroom, then he went straight to me. I stood up, placing my shades on my head again to clearly see him.Doon lang ako nagkaroon ng pagkakataong igala pa ang mga mata ko sa loob ng opisina niya because I was busy checking my CD Squared emails on my phone earlier. One customer who introduced herself as the Head of Staff to a Great German Aristocrat was asking me if I could do an immediate interior design of her boss’s daughter’s bedroom.I replied to just send me the details—specifically the size of the room as well as the daughter’s preferences—and I would do that as soon as possible. My heart was close to Germans than the rest of Europe, so I would be prioritizing the said customer.Going back to the office of the CEO, that was when I saw the two hanging picture fr
Sabotaging My Walkout Queen Book 2 Vexed 17: Old Acquaintance
Athena’s P.O.V.I have to work with him. I know that I can work with him!Pero, bakit parang may mali? Did Kuya Liam discuss this to Daddy?Did my dad know anything about this—that I would be working with my ex-boyfriend here? Of all people, my father would be the first one to be against this.Knowing that Cristoff will be in the picture again, I could even imagine my father to put a long scowl on his face while refusing about this partnership. But now that Cristoff has finally established his own name, tututol pa rin kaya sa kanya si Daddy?Oh! Why would I even want to know? As if naman na magkakabalikan pa ulit kami ni Cristoff!“Okay—” Kuya Liam said, but I cut whatever the whole phrase would escape from his lips

Athena’s P.O.V.Mukhang hindi niya ako titigilan, pero wala naman akong balak sabihin sa kanya kung ano man ang totoo. What if the playboy Section Head would deny me that we’ve dated before? Baka kumalat pa sa buong kumpanya na nag-iilusyon lang ako! Baka masampal ko lang siya sa harap ng maraming tao.“Hmm, I don’t remember him. I didn’t even think if there was a chance that I ran into him at St. Augustine.” I lied to her while wearing my poker face. “You’ve mentioned earlier that Helena was kinder than me, so you must have known way back in our third-year na hindi ako namamansin.”Ngayon lang ulit kami nagkita ni Evanna. Paano ako makakasigurong tatahimik ang bibig niya? Isa pa, I didn’t usually disclose details with someone I wasn’t that totally close to… but I hoped that someday, we would be really close to each other.&n
