ALL BECAUSE OF YOU."Lose this rope that's on me Alex, I've told you to go to her if you have interest in her and let me be for heaven's sake." Ferdinand yelled at Alex, who was busy smoking while watching him bark.He dropped the little stick of cigarette on the floor and matched it."Only if you sign that paper as an agreement that you'll have nothing to do with her again, then I'll lose the ropes." Alex remarked, and pulled his lips into a smile.Ferdinand wasn't finding it funny."I'll give you any amount you want, and feel free to come back for more if it doesn't satisfy you." Alex added.He spitted out. "To hell with me leaving my wife to you because of money. The money that I have and she has too."Alex lightened another stick of cigarette. "You think that I don't know who you are? I know how poor and wretched you are, she's the one taking care of you and you're living under her roof.""When you know that it isn't a crime huh?" Ferd shook his head. "Keep dying for someone whom
MISSING HIM.Miriam was still sad due to what occurred between her and Ferd at the club.She was so frustrated that she had to finish a bottle of alcohol wine alone.Her eyes were shutting slowly, but she didn't mind. She was still sipping from the glass of wine."Isn't it time you put yourself together and stop drinking yourself to stupor?" Ariana, her high time friend yelled at her.She stared at her with a narrowed eyes and let out a fucking smile. "What's that yell for? I chose to drink myself to stupor, so you have no right to stop me."."All because of a married man that isn't gonna give you attention huh? Do you even know what you're doing?" Ariana bit her lips in dismay. She fell in love with Ferd as well but was sad that he picked Miriam, but then, she hates the fact that he's married because she thinks it's going to be difficult to get her… or she wouldn't mind taking her away from her friend.If only she can get that privilege like Miriam, she will do anything in her power
IT'S ONLY HIM. The next morning, Melita got awake as usual to get ready for work. She glanced at the clock and slowly got down from the bed.She stepped into the bathroom and watched her image through the mirror positioned there."He didn't spend the night here with me, and it's boring. Does it mean that I can't be without him? Or, maybe his presence just fills the room." She heaved a big sigh and pulled out her hair cap.When she was fully ready for work, it was almost 8am, yet Ferdinand wasn't awake."Is his breakfast ready?" Melita referred to Christine after she was done with her plate of meals.Christine came closer to the dinning. "Is anything the problem Ma? I'll serve him when he's awake.""No! I want to do that before leaving. Get it here for me."She left to the kitchen and returned to the dining room with the tray of food, then placed it on the table."This is it."Melita stood up and grabbed the tray, then headed upstairs to Ferdinand's room.She stepped in and still fou
MELITA AND HER DIRECTOR.Due to the things she had to run around for before getting home, she wasn't able to stay till closing time.First, she left for police custody and sat with the police officer she had a deal with because of Ferdinand."How did everything happen? Where did you get him?" She asked him.He scratched his head. "He was held up by a young man, but then, they were arguing because of you when we showed up.""Arguing because of me?" She sniffed and laughed. "Who's the fucking man that arguing with my husband because of me?""His name is Alex." The police officer announced.Her eyes flew open, recalling that the young man he met in the morning mentioned his name as Alex too."Uhmmm! Can you tell me his physical appearance? I'm trying to quote something." She uttered.The police officer gazed at a point for a while. "He's hefty, fair with curly hair.""Exactly, it's him.""It's who? Did he stick you on your way?" The police officer inquired.She sighed deeply. "I had a cl
MIRIAM OR MELITA.Melita left to her room, she wasn't happy after yelling at Ferdinand.Although she hates him and wouldn't want to taste his lips for once, she needs to do anything just to get rid of the plans Alex is setting up for her."But I can't be his girlfriend, not when I don't even have interest in the young man that I hired, who seems to be more charming than him." She squeezed the bed cover. "I can't give in because of getting the company, neither will I let my efforts go in vain. Ferdinand should do something for me."She fell on the bed and began counting on the ceiling, but the buzzing of her cell phone drew out her attention again."Hi, Vanda." She uttered after picking up the call."Carmelita, your husband visited me today and he's looking good. He keeps saying good things about you and I'm so happy about it." Vanda stated.She forced a smile on her face, that's not what she's after as it stands.But wait! Ferdinand speaks good of her after everything. Isn't that exc
SEVEN DAYS DEAL. Alex picked up his cell phone, he hated the whole thing that took place between him and Melita.He dialed a number that picked up within seconds, and then he placed the cell phone on his ear."She's not scared at all, after all the threats. She even rode out of my sight." He complained to the receiver."I know her so well, she's too stubborn and difficult to handle. But that's not the end or you'll lose your money."Alex nodded, he already knew that withdrawing from the game isn't gonna favor him. He needs to accomplish the mission and get paid."Try as much as you can to get her to yourself because that's the easiest way to achieve this goal." Alex sighed. "I'll try my best, she's too little for me to handle." He assured himself and the receiver and then the call came to an end.He grabbed his bottle of whiskey and emptied it, then filled it again."I don't care the sort of person you are in this city, but I'll make sure to achieve what I'm working on." He smirked
FRIEND OR NOT."Hi! This is Carmelita." She uttered through the office phone."There's an urgent meeting that is being held immediately, and you're expected to come over as the manager." The caller explained.She hissed silently. If only he knows that she isn't in that mood, he wouldn't have given her a call."Uhmmm! I'll be there right away." She assured the caller and ended the call.She clenched her fist, gritting her teeth. "I just hate this. Why the urgent meeting all of a sudden?" She shut her eyes.When she let her eyes open, she checked the time and stood up ready to leave for the meeting.She left the office after dropping a message to her assistant, then she left to her car and drove off.On her way to the conference hall, the traffic stopped her and she had to send back a message to them, because she knew that she would be late."I just feel exhausted, this meeting must end so fast so I can go home from there." She muttered and rested her back on the seat.She turned her he
JUST FOR ONE THING.Immediately Melita left the compound, she sighted the crowd surrounding a particular spot some miles away from her home."Could he be the reason for that gathering?" She thought and began moving towards the spot.Right before her eyes laid Ferdinand on the floor bleeding."No! Why should this happen to you?" She screamed and rushed to him, shaking his body."Ferdinand, open your eyes and say something to me." She screamed out.The sound of an ambulance drew the attention of everyone, and they all shifted aside. But Melita still knelt beside him in tears.Even with the intense bleeding, he let his eyes a bit and smiled. "I love you Melita." He shut his eyes again and went totally unconscious.She rubbed her ear. "Did I just hear him well?" She shook him again and then tried to open his eyes. "Don't do this to me please, open your eyes.""Excuse us, we have to take him to the hospital immediately." She heard a masculine voice behind her.She turned to see two young
