After Shaina entered the room she and Daisy were occupying, she exhaustedly lay down next to her sleeping friend. She couldn't believe she was able to have sex with a stranger. What's worse is that she didn't even see his face. All she knows is that the man's body is beautiful, big, and smells good. He's also a good kisser.
Shaina touched her lips and couldn't hold a smile forming there. But it immediately disappeared when she remembered Rex, her cheating boyfriend. Her lips pressed hard when she remembered what he had done, so she did something she shouldn't have done. She closed her eyes as the heartbreak and anger returned. But when she remembered the secrets revealed and the confrontation they had, she laughed hollowly.
Instead of showing a little guilt and feeling sorry, Rex was firm. "She's the one who makes up for your shortcomings in me, babe," he admitted straightforwardly.
He betrayed her in front of her eyes, and he still has the audacity to call her babe? How pathetic he is! But as a girlfriend, Shaina couldn't accept that and couldn't believe it. Her lips parted as she stared at the man she loved, or, she should say, her cheating boyfriend. She wanted to slap and scratch him to at least lessen the pain of his betrayal, but at that moment she seemed to be enveloped in ice that was smoking from the cold. Her hands seemed to be paralyzed. And her heart is now shattered in pieces. But what's the ridiculous thing behind why he cheated on her that made her want to take revenge? Because she couldn't give him her virginity, he looked for another woman to whom he could release his body heat. And of all the women on earth, why did he choose her cousin Lovely when he knew that she was her rival in everything? And Rex also knows the reason behind her desire for them to get married before she gives her virginity to him. And this happened!
"Since when have you been fooling me?" Shaina asked calmly, but her eyes were burning with anger at Rex.
Rex abruptly looked away from Shaina's fiery eyes. His heart is now divided. He suddenly felt sorry, but he couldn't get rid of Lovely. Above all, he didn't think that his girlfriend would soon discover his secret relationship with her cousin.
Lovely intervened with the two. "Come on, Rex, tell her the truth so she can get out of here because I'm done with her drama."
Shaina turned her glaring eyes to her cousin. She wanted to mop her face on the floor. But when she attempted to rush at her, Rex blocked her. This time, she wanted to cry not because of a man but because of her anger with Lovely. Her cousin will do everything to take what's hers and ruin her. She would even seduce all the men involved with her. And she thought that Rex was different from those men, but she was mistaken in her belief. When she remembered Rex's desire to hold a bigger company, a bitter smile gradually appeared on her lips.
"You were doing all this because Lovely's family has a bigger share in the company, right?"
Lovely was very insulted by what Shaina said, and she could not accept it. Out of anger, she quickly attacked her while clutching the bath towel that was covering her body to her chest, but Shaina eluded her hand. "How dare you! Rex loves me, and he found in me the thing you couldn't give him!" she insisted.
Shaina laughed insultingly and shot Lovely a pitiful look. "Let's stop fooling around here. Money is all you've got, Lovely. And if it's not because of that, Rex will never sleep with you."
"That's enough, Shaina!"
Shaina shook Rex's hand away when he grabbed her arm. "Isn't it true? You want to be the CEO of a big company. And of course you thought that that girl would be the answer to your ambition when you married her. You're climbing your way to the top using Lovely."
Rex was stunned; half of what Shaina said was true. But he did not like the sharpness of her tongue and was insulted. She makes him see how small he is in her eyes. "You know I'm not like that, Shaina!" he angrily defended.
"I told you, honey. That's why that girl can't give you what you need as a man because she's underestimating you. She didn't deserve you from the very beginning."
After witnessing the pain in Rex's face, Shaina calmed herself down. She wanted to take back her words, but he turned his back on her, which dismayed her.
"It's a good thing it happened to us like this; I found out that you're just underestimating my masculinity."
Shaina felt the coldness in Rex's voice. But he clearly shows that it was her fault for the outcome of their relationship. He sounded like she has to take all the blame. Damn him! Instead of apologizing, he did the opposite. When her cousin smiled, the anger in her heart suddenly returned.
"I'm sorry if I was fragile and tempted, but I really loved you, and I didn't want to hurt you, so I kept it a secret."
"How long have you been hiding this from me, Rex?"
"F-five months," Rex announced.
"Okay. Congratulations, then. You didn't just hurt me; you also made me hate you! You two! And I will never forgive you." Shaina's tears fell spontaneously because she was so hurt by this revelation. Five months. Wow! It turns out that her boyfriend has been cheating on her for a long time. And it seems that he still plans to hide it until the two of them get married. But her cousin was cunning; she meant for her to discover Rex's betrayal without his knowledge. The woman spun them both around just so she could snatch Rex away from her.
Heartbroken and emotional, Shaina left Rex's pad. She lost her dignity in front of her desperate cousin. And she realizes that no loyal man really exists. Rex was just like her father, who cannot be satisfied with one woman either. The reason for the misfortune in their lives was her womanizing father.
"It's a good thing you became a woman; you didn't inherit your father's womanizing habit."
Shaina laughed, remembering what her friend had told her before. She is indeed a woman, but because of her father's background, she is still often linked to his womanizing habit. People judge her, thinking that she also likes to play with men's emotions as well. Has she ever had a boyfriend, and nothing lasted? Everyone thought that she broke up with them because she liked someone else without even knowing the whole truth. Then Rex happened. She has only been in a relationship with him for a long time, so she is very hurt now.
A bitter smile appeared on Shaina's lips after remembering what happened earlier. Fortunately, Daisy-her gay friend-sympathized with her and accompanied her to drink. He is the only person who understands her when she has a problem. Later on, she hugged her friend and fell asleep.
Daisy woke up because of her friend's hug. He stroked her hair sleepily. Even though there were many customers in his salon, he left it to his trusted staff after he heard his friend's hoarse voice when she called earlier, and she seemed to be crying. He already knew; when she invites him to drink, she is sure to be miserable and need his presence.
He was amazed when he arrived at a famous hotel. On the second floor there is a social gathering. He didn't know why his friend chose to go there. The people who come to this place are almost VIPs, which means that the cost of even one wine reaches thousands of pesos. And his friend seems to not care about spending that much money right now. He shook his head as he remembered how he had found her earlier.
"Beshy..."
"Holy crap, it is what I'm telling you!" Daisy whispered when he heard his friend's voice behind him. He immediately approached her, and his eyes widened when he saw the empty bottles of wine lined up in front of her. Goodness, is she really this miserable now?
"Finally, you're here!" Shaina stared at Daisy with narrowed eyes and smiled.
"Girl, what's the matter with you? Why are you wasting that much money just for alcohol?" He quickly grabbed the glass that Shaina was holding. "Stop it; that's enough."
Shaina stared at her friend for a moment. And she asked herself, why was she here in this expensive place? Later, she cried while her right hand held the left side of her chest.
Daisy immediately attended to her friend and hugged her. He let her express her feelings. And after he heard the whole story, he even got emotional with a mixture of anger and pity for his friend.
"It's only right that you use up the contents of your joint account so that he has nothing to use with that girl." Instead of teaching Shaina correctly, he continued what her friend had started.
Daisy knew Shaina felt better somehow. She grinned. The girl raised the glass and toasted him. That's right, they're going to squander the money that she and Rex have saved up. Their original plan was to use the money for the wedding. The account is also under Rex's name, but Shaina is the cardholder and have authorization to use it. His friend cannot agree that Lovely will benefit from the money Rex has saved. So Shaina thought of wasting it before the man could even realize and close the bank account. .
"Is it really necessary to give up a girl's virginity to a boyfriend first so that she is not exchanged for someone else?" she asked.
Daisy sighed as she watched Shaina. He sympathized with his friend but did not want to see her in this condition.
"Is it my fault that he was attracted to my flirty cousin?"
Daisy wanted to emphasize that betrayal in a relationship is a choice, but he chose not to express it. He just let her go. And since she's already drunk, Daisy knows that she won't listen to what he has to say.
"But why does it have to be my cousin?" she continued, expressing her feelings. "No. I can't lose him, besh."
"Girl, that's enough. Look around us; other people are looking at us here," Daisy scolded his friend when her crying got louder. He could feel her pain, but if she continues to think about what Rex and Lovely did, she won't be able to move on quickly.
"Help me, besh. I need to get Rex back from Lovely."
Annoyed, Daisy grabbed her friend's glass and drained it herself. "Don't be stupid, besh. Have some respect for yourself. Besides, there are many men out there who are lining up for your beauty. Let your stupid ex-boyfriend go with your flirty cousin because they are better for each other-one flirtatious and one ambitious."
Shaina hiccupped and shook her head. "No. I don't like men anymore. They are all cheaters, and all they want is sex; they are just like my father!"
He held Shaina's hand tightly, and he calmly agreed. "You're right, besh; that's why Rex doesn't deserve a drop of your tears."
He understood his friend. Resentful of her father's repeated misogyny, Shaina lost her mother early; this mother died of heart failure.
"I'll make him see that I can give my virginity to a man! He's just unlucky because he won't get it."
Daisy blew out the drink in his mouth because of what Shaina said. Just now, she was very miserable, but suddenly, she became desperate. He was suddenly worried that she might be serious with whatever insane thought she had in mind. And in fear of losing herself, he consumed the rest of their wine.
Daisy shook his head after remembering what happened earlier. It's a good thing, and Shaina doesn't make her intention to find a one-night stand real. He just hugged her and went back to sleep.
The next day, Daisy woke up first because of a loud knock on the door. "Who is this nuisance?" he complained while rubbing his eyes.
Daisy was about to stand up when she noticed the person next to him. He was completely stunned when he recognized that it was Shaina. After a few minutes, he slowly remembered what he and his friend did last night. But he didn't know how they got to this room. When the knock came again, he shook Shaina's shoulder to wake her up.
"Hmmm..." Shaina muttered and pulled the blanket to cover her face.
He didn't try to wake up his friend anymore. He quickly got off the bed, and maybe the service crew was knocking; the fee there is still expensive. When he opened the door, his eyes widened when he saw the person outside.
"Where is my granddaughter, and what did you do to her?" Cristy angrily asked her granddaughter's gay friend one after another.
Daisy wanted to raise an eyebrow at the old woman's accusing question, but since he had a lot of respect for her, he suppressed his emotion. When he saw Lovely, he was no longer surprised by the old man's exaggeration.
Shaina opened her eyes when she heard the noise, holding her aching head. She didn't want to get up, but she heard the lady speak again.
"Get up from there right now, you lady!"
Shaina jumped up when she recognized the owner of the voice that had disturbed her sleep. Witnessing her grandmother's presence there brought shock to her face.
"I thought you were different from your father! You're going to make a scandal, but why on earth with that gay man?" Cristy angrily picked up the underwear that was on the chair and threw it at her granddaughter.
Daisy quickly approached her friend. He was nervous when he realized that Shaina was not wearing any underwear. "B-besh, did I do something to you last night?" he asked his friend in a whisper.
"No, but I'm not a virgin anymore!" Shaina answered softly so the two wouldn't hear.
Daisy's mouth opened, but he suddenly shut it when his friend's eyes glared at him, and her gaze indicated that she would explain to him later.
"Gosh, why did you flirt with that gay, Shaina? What will the people who know about it say?"
Out of anger, she darts an evil look at Lovely. It was as if she had done nothing wrong with her. And if she reacts, it is as if she is very concerned about what happened.
Daisy's eyes rolled; if the old woman wasn't there, he might have insulted Lovely.
"What are you waiting for? Fix yourself and follow me!" Cristy yelled at her granddaughter and turned away angrily.
Shaina quietly put on the underwear; she washed it last night after she took a shower. But she wondered how her grandmother knew that they spent the night there. Later on, she and Daisy left the room after she got dressed. Their bills were paid, and she knew that her grandmother handled their checkout.
Before completely walking away, Shaina turned around in a room. It's quiet there; the person who occupied it must have left last night.
"Why?" Daisy commented to his friend, who was stunned for a moment.
Shaina quickly shook her head and approached her grandmother, who was waiting in front of the elevator. They were quiet until they got down to the ground floor. She was clinging to her friend's arm when a man in a suit blocked their path.
"What's wrong?" Cristy asked the man.
"Thanks for your cooperation, Madam. Mr. Villanova ordered us to take down the names of those leaving this building."
The aura of Cristy's face softened when she recognized who the man was referring to; Mr. Villanova is a well-known person in the business world. Many wanted to meet him in person, but that man was elusive and did not just talk to anyone. Maybe her granddaughters will do something better in this place. She also showed the man her business card so that he could recognize her. At her age, she is also known as the chairman of the company she owns.
Lovely asked her grandmother out of curiosity. "Grandma, did he mean the hotel's owner?" When the old woman nodded, Lovely mumbled, "Wow."
Shaina was just listening to the conversation between the two. Neither does the old woman pay attention to her, nor can Daisy come closer since her grandmother had forbidden her friend to see her until the scandal had not been resolved.
Shaina was not surprised when she caught up with Rex, her unfaithful ex-boyfriend, at the mansion.
"Rex, I'm really sorry for what my cousin did. I don't know what she ate, and she was able to trade you for a gay man. What's worse is that she squandered the money you intended to spend for your wedding," said Lovely.
Shaina felt the blood rush to her head with anger. She rushed to her cousin and tweaked her. "You animal, don't turn everything upside down!"
"Ahhhh... ouch! Grandma, help me!" Lovely shouted while holding her cousin's hand that was pulling her hair, acting like a loser.
"What the hell are you doing, Shaina? Don't hurt your cousin!"
Shaina ignored the pain from the old woman's palm after she hit her on the arm. Now she wanted to pour out all her anger on her cousin that was not released yesterday. She didn't want to let go of her hair, but someone squeezed her wrist. It even pushed her so she fell to the floor and hit her back on the sofa. Pain flashed in her eyes when she saw that Rex had done it.
"Will you stop embarrassing our family, Shaina? You should thank your cousin because she begged Rex to let me pick you up at that hotel!"
Shaina was almost deafened from her grandmother's voice. She burst into tears out of resentment. The old woman didn't even ask for her explanation and just judged her. Well, she is like this. Since her father is worthless in her eyes, she treats her the same way. Her cousins are the only ones she likes, while she seems like a stain in the eyes of their family. In addition to her father being a headache to her, her mother was also allegedly picked up from the mud.
"Mama, what did you do to my daughter?"
Shaina started crying when she recognized her father's voice. It looks like he's from the same hotel as his women. But even so, her father loves her. He even asked her to stay at the mansion so her grandmother would like her.
"What else? And it's your fault that your daughter is acting like this! She's an heir to your wasted life! I would have been happy if she was with Rex, but she just ruined her bright future! What's even more embarrassing is that she used the money that-"
"It's not my fault that our relationship broke!" Shaina interrupted the old man's litany. "It's Lovely's fault that I did what I shouldn't have!"
Lovely quickly released her hand that was holding on to Rex's arm when the old woman's gaze turned in their direction. She was suddenly nervous, and their grandmother might believe Shaina. What she wants is to let out that Shaina cheated first so Rex will leave her. Of course, she didn't want the old woman to get angry with Rex, and she came out as a man snatcher.
"It's because of that girl that I thought of wasting the money that was meant for our wedding! They're cheating on me, Grandma! I caught them yesterday in bed!" Shaina pointed to Lovely and Rex.
Gabriel asked Rex and Lovely in a firm tone. "Are you two having an affair?"
"That's not true, Uncle!" Lovely refused in tears before turning to her cousin. "Shaina, why are you like this to me? Why do you blame me for the wrong you have done in your life? I am not flirtatious enough to steal the man my relative loves!"
Shaina clenched her fists and wanted to punch her cousin. And Rex? It looks like he's even gayer than Daisy now. He hides in Lovely's shadow and pretends to be a victim like her cousin.
Cristy grabbed her forehead, and suddenly her head hurt.
Gabriel quickly approached the mother and helped her sit on the sofa. "Shaina, that's enough. Go to your room first, and it's not good for your grandmother to be so angry."
Shaina was also worried about her grandmother's health and felt sorry for her. But before she could turn her back completely, Lovely's parents and her sister arrived. They seem to be from the church.
"What did you do, and Mama is like this?" Troy looked angrily at his brother and quickly wiped his mother's sweaty forehead.
"Daddy!" Crying, Lovely approached her father and hugged him.
Troy looked between Lovely and Shaina, who were both crying, and he wondered.
Disgruntled, Shaina looked away from her uncle. The only person who has considered her a true family member seems to be changing in view of her now. Her uncle is kind, but his wife is greedy, and this is the trait her cousins inherited from her.
"Let's talk about this carefully, whatever trouble is going on," Troy said calmly after the mother was given the medicine.
After Troy heard the entire story from her daughter, he stared at her niece with eyes filled with disappointment. How dare she drag their family into this kind of mess?
"Right. Because if my family hears about it, they will also be embarrassed."
If the stare was just poisonous, Shaina was sure that Rex's mouth would already be foaming. It turns out that her cousin's rotten personality has infected him. Everyone sympathizes with the young man's feelings, and she turns out to be a fraud.
The old woman expressed her final decision. "No one else should know about this! "
Lovely stared at the old man in disbelief.
Shaina sneered. She was not surprised by her grandmother's decision. Their family's reputation is more important to her than her feelings.
Rex shot the old man a confused look, but he couldn't speak.
"I'm apologizing on behalf of what my granddaughter had done to you. I know she also contributed somehow to your savings that she spent. I will pay for that and increase your share in my company in exchange for your silence."
Rex was insulted. It was as if the old woman was buying his dignity, but it was still in his favor. He cheated first without their knowledge, so it's okay that she didn't know about his relationship with her other granddaughter.
Shaina frowned as she stared at Rex. Only now did she realize that she was so stupid and she loved him. She did not see her motive in having a relationship with him. His family is also rich, but like her, his family also looks down on him. So he wants to prove himself in the field of business that does not rely on them. But without her help, he would not have become a shareholder in her grandmother's company.
"I will also be ashamed if this news comes out." Rex seemed to have no other choice.
"Why don't we send Shaina abroad instead? Then let's make it appear that they didn't make it because of the long-distance relationship. There will be no more issue with the divorce later on."
Together, they turned in Angeline's direction. Shaina saw how her grandmother smiled. She knows that she admires her other cousin's ability to think of strategy. Then she closed her eyes tightly, and her anger against her cousins only increased. They will really find a way to get her out of the mansion, away from her grandmother.
"Well, my daughter thought of a better solution. One more thing, maybe what happened to you with that gay man will pay off and-" Troy couldn't finish the rest of what he wanted to say when Shaina interrupted.
"You should all be mad at me, but don't involve my friend in this. He didn't do anything bad to me, and even if he's gay, he's not a coward and exploitative!" Shaina felt that she suddenly had a heart attack and was exhausted because of anger. She darted an insulting gaze at Rex. She was sure that her last words affected him. And he deserved it!
"Shaina, don't raise your voice in front of your grandmother," Gabriel scolded his daughter.
Shaina angrily stood up and firmly said, "I agree if you want me to leave here, but you have to remember," she said and looked in Rex's direction. "You'll all regret what you did to me!"
Rex quickly averted his eyes from Shaina's sharp look at him. He's somehow felt guilty. And he wouldn't be able to see Shaina for the next few days, which made him sad. But he has to follow the flow.
Shaina did not explain again, and neither did they believe her. She has no evidence as proof of Rex and Lovely's betrayal. But when they caught her with her friend, they called it a betrayal. And what she did was shameful. That would be fine, but noticing her father's silence hurt her-he seems to be siding with her cousin after all.
"My dear, I will send you abroad not because I rejected you or I'm disappointed in you. I just want you to be far from shame and so you can start changing your path as well."
Shaina's lips curled in bitterness as she listened to her grandmother carefully. And no matter what the old woman said, she was still upset with her. Even to her father that until this time, she's unable to talk to him. But perhaps the best she can make is to accept the truth that she lost almost eveything- her boyfriend, her virginity. And now, she's about to leave the country to save her family's reputation.
Cristy sighed without getting an answer from her granddaughter. "One day you will understand me, too. I don't want you to put on your father's shoe. Look at how miserable he is now. It's because I gave him everything he wanted."
Somehow, Shaina's anger towards the old woman lessened. But she still doesn't want to speak. She just let her express and explain her thoughts. Besides, it was too obvious that she had favoritism among her children since then, that's why her father ended up like that- miserable and irresponsible. But eventhough her grandmother is this old, she loves her. Considering the fact that eversince her mother died, the old woman stood up with her like a real mother.
"I have already booked your ticket and arranged your flight. It will be next day. So, you don't have to go to work or leave the house."
Sad, Shaina looked out of her room's window. The old woman was smart and wise. And because she didn't trust her, she would be guarded for sure, as if she will run away and go see Daisy.
"If you don't want to go out for dinner later, I'll send the helper to bring your food here," Cristy continued eventhough Shaina didn't respond.
She remain silent and gave her back to her grandmother. But then, she felt the old woman stand up and slowly step out of her room. Hearing the opening and closing of the door, she only then turned around. She quickly took out her cellphone and called her friend.
"Gurl, what happened to you?" Worried, Daisy asked immediately after answering Shaina's call. Shaina did not hide anything from her friend. Especially the plan of leaving the country.
"That witch! And both of the sisters have absolutely no manner," Daisy exclaimed in annoyance.
"I believe in karma," said Shaina in a low voice.
"That's right! They'll get their karma, too, and Rex will realize that he flirted with the wrong person!"
"Maybe we'll never see each other again." Shaina was sad to the possibility that she will be separated from the important person in her life.
Her grandma has a cousin in Italy and she will be staying there temporarily until she finds a place to rent. The old woman will help her financially until she can stand on her own feet. Their relative also managing a restaurant there, so she can apply for a job.
Even Daisy was also sad. But when he recalled what she had said to him at the hotel, he bring it up again.
Shaina bit her lower lip recalling the man she had sex with last night. To be honest, she still felt the man's punishing kisses on her lips. Despite of the darkness of his room, Shaina figured out that the man has a nice body- a broad shoulders, a masculine thighs- and he has abs. Crazy but she feel her arousal upon listening to his baritone voice. And the way he claims her, it seems that he doesn't know how to pity, even to a woman.
Shaina was suddenly horrified at the thought that maybe the man is a mafia, an addict or a bad person. She hadn't thought about that before deciding to help him. It's just good that the man didn't know her and didn't want to know her either. Tired of talking to herself, she decided to leave the room. But before getting down from the second floor she will pass by at Lovely's room.
"You fool! Why did you let yourself be caught in the act by that girl?"
Shaina frowned when she heard Matilda's angry voice. She come close to the slightly ajar door so she could hear the conversation between the two.
"What do you want me to do? Let them get married first like your plan?"
Shaina's eyebrows met. She was sure that she was definitely the two were talking about.
"Mom, I can't!" Lovely continued.
"Don't be stupid! Use your brain so that all the shares in the company go to us! Think about it, when she and Rex get married, he will get the ten percent share that is under that woman's name."
Lips are closed while her fists are clenched, Shaina controlled her emotions from rushing to her aunt. She wanted to scold her uncle's wife but she refrained. Her selfishness gone too far as she wanted to take her inheritance through Rex. Right, that's why Rex wants them to get married abroad.
If she was holding anything now, it would have been crushed due to clenching her fist tightly.
"I'm afraid that Rex might change his mind and not divorce Shaina. Also, I'm delayed for two mon-"
Shaina heard how Matilda slap her daughter which stopped Lovely from finishing her sentence. Instead of feeling sorry for her cousin, she was even happy. Lovely deserve it. Shaina moved away from leaning against the wall near the door. She even made her step heavier to let the two know that there was someone else outside the room.
"How long have you been standing there and eavesdropping?"
Shaina turned to her aunt and did not bother to hide the anger in her eyes. She saw Lovely behind her, massaging her cheek.
"Does it hurt?" she asked her cousin with an insulting tone.
Matilda's eyes widened, then she looked at her daughter.
"It hurts even more when you are slapped by the truth. Well, it's not bad to desire higher than you have. But being greedy will harm you. Thank you for not following your mother's plan. Thank you for letting me know about my frivolous fiancee's infidelity right away. Just be careful, the cheater is smart at doing bad things to others. I just don't know if that will be effective with the same cheater."
Both mother and daughter were speechless and did not know what to say.
Shaina smirked and gave the two a mocking look. "How can that be possible now? Your plan of taking the ten percent share under my name will go to waste. Okay, maybe I should double the percentage when I get back," she said sarcastically.
"Bitch! She hissed and gave Shaina a deadly look.
"So what if you heard everything? You think someone will believe you?" Matilda asked defiantly.
Shaina just kept calm and twisted playfully her hair behind her ears. "I'm not as bad as you think. I believe in karma. I will now leave this house quietly, but when I come back I will return you the favor."
Matilda didn't get recover right away and angrily followed Shaina walked away. She is not afraid of her threat. But she was annoyed that someone would be proud to speak like that to her.
"Mommy, what are we going to do? Maybe she will complain to Grandma."
Matilda looked at her daughter in annoyance. "Why didn't you lock your room in the first place?"
"Wow, it's my fault again. Who entered my room just to give a sermon?" Lovely was also cowering at her mother.
With her gritted teeth, Matilda screamed out of annoyance. At the same time, she raised both palms and clenched them, then glared at Lovely. She hesitated to hurt her again, yet her daughter even managed to answer and blamed her.
Lovely has turned her back on her mother so that their argument won't go on any longer.
At the rest house, Travis angrily confronts his personal assistant. He hasn't slept yet and he went there first to avoid his fiancee.
"Mr. Villanova, I double-checked the surveillance camera but there was absolutely no footage captured last night to identify the woman who entered your room." Teddy explained again to the young man who looked like he would be eaten alive if he looked at him.
"Bullshit! Whoever did this is unforgivable!"
Teddy was startled from where he is standing when the young man tore the folder he handed over. It has not yet been read what's on the list so it will definitely be difficult for him.
"How about, Cheska?" he remembered asking his fiancee.
"Her mother called a while ago and was looking for you, sir."
Travis gasped violently. His head hurt even more now because Cheska was also acting out. He caught up with her last night in the room he was renting. He closed his eyes tightly and remembered what happened that night.
"What are you doing here?" Travis asked Cheska in surprise when he came out of the bathroom and saw her. He looked around, the light was on so he could clearly see the appearance of the room. It's a mess and the bedsheet is still stained with blood.
"Then I wasn't as wrong as I thought," Travis said to himself as he looked at the bed.
"What the hell, Travis? Are you disappointed and you saw me instead of the girl you brought here?" Cheska angrily asked her boyfriend while holding up a cycling short.
Travis couldn't find a single word to say when he saw what Cheska was holding. He was sure that the short belonged to the woman who he was with last night. But where is the girl by the way?
Cheska's tears finally started running down to her cheek. Travis's silence was only a sign that a woman was indeed brought there. She loves him, and even though she knows that the young man will not reciprocate her feelings, she is still happy when she proposes marriage to her.
"What you need is a child, right? I can give it to you when we're married. But why do you need another woman?"
Travis was only irritated seeing Cheska crying. He understood if she felt bad about what had happened. But he didn't have time to explain it. He quickly picked up the cellphone and called his personal assistant. He ordered to prepare the chopper for him, that absolutely can land right on the hotel's rooftop.
"Travis, you can't do this to me!"
Cheska was already lost when it was confirmed that the young man had no intention of explaining to her.
"I'm sorry, Cheska, but let's postpone our wedding for now because I have something important to attend to."
Cheska stared at her fiancé with her mouth open. It was as if he was just talking to one of his partners. As if she had no value here as a girlfriend. She was not even asked nor considered her feelings.
