Primrose was worried seeing her sister just got home. They never really see each other often and thank God she is free this morning. So, she wants to apologize to her sister for not fully telling her that Jake was planning to propose and for not telling her what she further knew.As a younger sister, she didn't have as much responsibility as her sister. All she needed to do was graduate and be good at school, unlike her sister who needed to work for them.They were a well-off family and they never struggle with money until one day when she was twelve when their families' tailoring business burned down, leaving nothing but damages and debt for them. The Vesmonds help them because Jake wanted to help but from then on, her sister kept downgrading herself and she has always been worried.Just as Rossie got inside her room, Prim decided to follow afterward, knocking on her sister's door. There wasn't any response so she just turned the doorknob and pushed the door open. Her sister was sitt

Thursday. Primrose was waiting for Rossie and her husband to pick her up from school. Aside from Wednesdays and Saturdays, they really go home as early as two in the afternoon. Unless you are part of the group that's scheduled to clean the classroom or a junior high school then your class schedule is different.Waiting for them has her anxious, nibbling her lower lip continuously and playing with her fingers. She's dying to meet the man her sister married but at the same time, she feels like this was a bad idea. But before she could text her sister to cancel this meeting, a black car parked in front of her, stopping her from using her phone.Of course, she remembers this car! Her heart started pounding so loudly, especially when the door on the other side open revealing a man of good looks. He has eyes that can hypnotize, especially when the sun's light is reflected in them. When she thinks she can't be more into his aura, the man showed a charming smile, softening everything on his f

After that day off, Rossie finally rested well. Now she's back to waking up at midnight to go to work. For some reason, she woke up before her alarm could so she turned it off. It had her surprised when out of nowhere, Jake started face-timing her. For some seconds she stared at it. She never hesitated to answer his calls before but now she is a little. How could she reject the call? She cleared her throat and pressed the green button, and joined in. "Hi, love!" she greeted with a smile. "Hi, love. I couldn't get a hold of you today. Mom said you were out with Prim." Of course, her mother would tell him what she does. "Yes, I was arcading with Prim." Like the expression her mother gave her earlier, Jake's face slowly clouded with disappointment. "She won her poster making. I needed to celebrate with my sister, love.""You didn't touch our savings, right?" he asked, brows crossed. "No, of course, I didn't, love." She was suddenly reminded of how Jared was even telling her that buy

At Jared's place, Rossie was hoping he'd have an apartment or a small house but... he has a big house but of course not as big as Jake's. When they got there, there were gardeners and helpers who were cleaning. They were greeting Jared with bright smiles on their faces and not all masters would greet back their employees but he did. Then Jared explained to her that on Mondays, caretakers are arranged to do general cleaning which includes gardening. This explains why there were so many people at the moment."Why did you choose a big house and you live alone? Do you live alone?" she asked as she was following him inside the house."My parents used to live here but then my grandparents got older so they had to accompany them to the ancestral manor." She bet that is where they will be going on Wednesday. "Is your grandparents' place as big as this?""Uhm... you could say that," he answers. While they make their way to the kitchen, she noticed there weren't many family photos hung there

At the dining table, Rossie sure never expected that a long table really does exist at a typical family dinner of a few people. There were many vacant seats and they were gathered in a corner. Although everyone welcomed her warmly, her heart couldn't stop pounding.The way Veronica smiles at her is different and every time the woman does, she would squeeze Jared's hand. She didn't want to let go of him, not when she felt his sister's murderous gaze. She hasn't mistaken it, Veronica was really that lady and she called her little bud. What's with that nickname?"Is something wrong?" Jared whispered to her. He might've taken the hint that she wasn't very much comfortable as she was before meeting Veronica. "Yes. I have to tell you something later," she answers. "Am I sweating too much?""Not quite. Just the way you squeeze my hand is different. You don't do that mostly.""Is there no way to get away from this dinner?" "Sadly not."Rossie just wants to die right now. Well, at least she
