“Pfft. Are you high?”
I urged a laugh. Though when I realised that I was the only one who’s laughing, I stopped. “Tsk! Are you hungry?” He discarded my mockery and asked instead. We’ve been walking for a while already and I left the house early, no breakfast. It’s almost lunch time but I think the next town is still a bit far.“Quite. I didn’t have breakfast. Well, maybe?” I shrugged my shoulders.Nyx left and yeah, Claude treated me to the nearest fast food using the ducati that Nyx drove to us. He actually wanted to bring me to a fancy restaurant located in the next town but I stopped him. I reasoned that I’m already hungry and that I can’t go further anymore. Hello? That fancy restaurant that he wanted to go to is unbelievably expensive. How did I say so? Well, aside from the fact that the cheapest food there is the same price as my one day salary, what can I add? You get what I mean? I don’t want to be treated in those kinds of restaurants. It
They were ambushed. It's been a week since the day that Claude told me about it. Five days to be exact but until now, I can't still seem to move on. I mean, how can he be so calm and call it a random car accident? Ambush means it's either they want Allistair's team dead or stalled. When I said stalled, I'm referring to the fact that they were on their way to the project. Most of the ambushes were done whenever the target is going home or doing some not-business-related vacations. I don't know but if I were to base things on the articles that I've written or movies that I've watched before, that's my conclusion. That's just a wild guess though, because aside from the fact that I will never be able to experience that—not that I want it to experience getting ambushed by some random people who have grudge against me— because I'm not rich; There's still this suspicion inside me that wants to be noticed. I don't want it to be acknowledge
As a journalist, my job is to see things behind what the camera shows. What do I mean? I meant, seeing things that famous people do that ordinary people couldn't. In short, I'm a paparazzi.Though, don't take me wrong. I'm a licensed journalist and everything I do has my supervisor's permission. Well, except this one. I plan to tail the billionaire. The famous billionaire that had no flaw, as per people that's what they say. But not me.Definitely not me, I believe that even the most flawless person in the world has one mole. That means that this billionaire is no exception.That billionaire is Allistair Montero. The multi-billionaire that owned several businesses that you wouldn't even notice, the food you're eating is from one of his restaurants or maybe one of your cars are from one of his car companies. It's strange how he's so rich when his family just owned the sugar-milling industry ages ago.That means something must be happening. I existed to fin
I almost choked from my saliva when the car stopped. I immediately stood up and pretended to go to the comfort room since the comfort room is across the entrance. I wanna check closer.Of course, I walked slowly. Even slower than a snail. I need to get a very detailed point of view so I need to capture things with my very own naked eyes. Well, not naked eyes, I'm wearing my anti-radiation glasses.I saw a man walking towards the entrance glass door of the coffee shop, I even almost thought that that man was Allistair, but then I realized he wasn't. He's Allistair's secretary, Claude Verganza.That secretary is big time. Where can you see a secretary that is as rich as his boss? Yeah, big time right? Another fishy question is that why would he work for Allis
"Karina? Where are you? Are you coming home soon? What's for dinner? Are you going to cook?"Shein answered.Shein Allegre is my sister. She's the second child after me, and she's graduating from BS Tourism this year. She is the other 'Karina' whenever I'm not home. She guides our other siblings and treats them strictly.Well, compared to me, Shein is quiet. I'm not."This is Karina. I'm walking home. Of course, I'll be home soon and I don't know what's for dinner, and no. I won't cook. I'm dead tired, Shein. Let Zumo cook."She has so many questions, but I don't mind. It just means that she at least think about me or something closer to my welfar
I still can't believe that Allistair Montero is in front of me now. I don't know how to act or even how to talk to him.I'm still starstruck. The man I kept following for months is now in front of me and talking to me casually. What should I do? Should I ask him questions? What?Suddenly, a strong pour of rain started. I'm only wearing sleeveless, pants and a cardigan. I'm wet, that means, I'm cold."Why are you looking at me like I'm a pot of gold?"Because you are. That's what I want to answer."I didn't know that my handsomeness can make a woman shiver. I thought women only
"Tita A-Aurora?"That's my initial reaction. How big is the possibility that I will meet the person that I ran away from yesterday? The sole reason why I needed to breathe out all my anger and the reason why I got a fever and the reason why I broke my phone... wait.I just used my phone a while ago. It looked exactly like the one I thew yesterday, how come I was able to use it again earlier? With that thought, I ran back to the room where I came from and checked the phone I used to text Shein. It wasn't mine. Its case doesn't look green, it was painted with minimalistic jet black.If this phone isn't mine, then whose phone is it?"It's mine," someone from the door suddenly entered, Allista

I'd want to relay
