This time, I walked faster than Wayne, and he followed silently behind me. I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with him after what he heard about me earlier, but despite that, I simply decided to act as if nothing had happened and that I was no longer affected. After all, our personal lives are distinct from our business relationships. We will both get benefits here— there will be no cheating or greed. With Wayne's help and support, I can win the case and reclaim our land, while it pains me to admit this to myself but he is no longer at loss to me anymore. It's not a big deal if something happens between the two of us because, as I already stated, we've done that thing before… and I even lost count. After a while, we finally arrived at Pio's house. I saw him cleaning his pick-up car. His position was slightly turned in my direction, so he hadn't seen me yet, so I immediately called his name, which was the reason why he automatically turned in the direction of Wayn

I was driving quietly while Leigh was just staring out the window of my car. It's almost 11 AM and it's getting closer to 12 noon. We are currently on our way to Quezon City and according to my calculations, we will arrive at exactly 1 PM. I don't know if I should be the first to break the silence between the two of us but I eventually decided to speak."Are you hungry? I can pull over if you are," I responded flatly, my gaze fixed on the road; a few moments later, I felt her move a little from where she was sitting where I was sure that she was looking at me right now.“Uhmm. J-just a little," she replied hesitantly."Okay" I calmly said, "I'll just pull over later when I see a restaurant." She remained silent.It didn't take long for us to pass a restaurant so like what I have stated, I stopped the car for us to eat inside. I was about to take off my seat belt when my phone rang.I saw that Leigh was also stunned when my phon

I just sat down in my office and grabbed the white folder. I began reading the articles because they were related to the case I was currently working on when my phone rang. I quickly reached for my phone that was just sitting on my table and then looked at the caller ID. I can't help but frown a little when I saw Zeid's name on the screen. He's Zeidhon Callycx Imperial, one of my closest friends… we have the same attitude and principles in life that's why among our other friends, we get along together. Oh, I forgot… Caerus too.I didn't give any thought  to why he called me today and just simply answered his phone call. “Hello. What do you need? ” I inquired quickly, my gaze still fixed on the item I was holding. [I don't need anything in particular…] he replied in a disgusting tone when he spoke. [They just use me and my number to call you… because they know that when I call you, you

I'm sitting here on the couch in Wayne's living room right now. It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon. I haven't done anything in this house all day because Manang Susan won't allow me to help her with domestic duties because she was treating me like a visitor.From where I was seated, I couldn't help but sigh. It's not like I'm used to doing nothing. That's why, when the boredom hits me so hard,  I’m planning to find a job in the following few day. Anyways, when Manang and I had lunch earlier together, I decided to organize my belongings and clothes in my room. There's a cabinet inside of my room so that's where I put my clothes, and to be honest… I just finished everything, so now I'm just simply resting here in the living room. While relaxing, I took another look around the place and took careful note in details of everything. I'm now facing his massive flat-screen TV, and I can feel the softnes

WAYNE’s POVI offered Veronica a seat on one of my couches inside my room, but she's in the mood to be mischievous right now, so instead of relaxing on one of my couches... she took a seat on my lap. I didn't have a strong reaction to that because we had known each other for a long time. She's like a younger sister to me , and she also treats me as if I were her older brother, despite the fact that she is an only child. She's 5 years younger than me, by the way. “What now? Are you and Uncle Luis fighting again?” I inquired. Fortunately, she was light-weighted in some way, so when she sat on my lap with her two hands still wrapped around my neck, I didn't react much. “Nope. She replied, "Dad sent me over to tell you about the charity ball."Because of what she said, I instinctively touched the bridge of my brow. It was almost as if I had forgotten about the charity. "Oh, please don't
