登入Eliana Grace HerreraI didn't know how to feel when Theo answered the call and immediately left without even saying goodbye to me. I knew he wasn't obligated to tell me everything that was happening in his life or even inform me before leaving, but I couldn't help feeling hurt by the way he suddenly walked out without a word.I slowly got out of bed and headed to the bathroom, where I soaked in the warm water, trying my best to calm my restless mind.About an hour later, I got dressed. Once my hair had dried, I immediately called Calix. If there was anyone I could confide in right now, it was him. He was my only friend and the only person who knew about my current situation.After several rings, my friend finally answered."Hello?..." Calix answered, sounding confused. He was probably wondering why I was calling from a different number. Theo had bought me a new cellphone with an unlimited plan just last week, so this was the number I had been using most often. He had also asked me not
Elijah Theodore MartinezI kiss her lips as gently as possible, even though it’s far different from how I wanted to kiss my women before, but with Eliana, I’m willing to adjust. I want to take my time to taste every corner of her lips. I want to treat her like a precious gem, which I have never felt for any woman before. With her, I want to loosen up my defense. So that even just for now, even just in her arms, I can forget my anger toward women, which stems from the sins of my own mother."Have you forgiven me?" I ask softly after our lips temporarily part."I wasn't even mad at you, Theo. Sulking, yes, but I understand. I know exactly where I stand with you," Eliana admits shyly, though sadness is evident in her eyes.I plant another tender kiss on her lips while she holds onto me tightly, trying to reciprocate every movement of my lips.When our kiss breaks again, I look into her eyes once more. It's only now that I realize just how beautiful her eyes are. She has hazelnut brown ey
Elijah Theodore MartinezI arrived back at the office exactly at four o’clock. I texted Eliana immediately, asking if she was already done with her work and to go down to the parking lot. Mang Thomas wasn’t around today because I had told him that I would be the one to drive Eliana home.After a few minutes, I saw the person I was waiting for, seemingly looking for something, so I quickly took out my personal phone and typed a message. I scheduled the message to be sent three minutes later so that when I speak to Eliana later as Ja, she would receive it. In that way, she would never realize that I and the Ja she knows are the same person.“Mang Thomas had a breakdown. Sir Theo told me you should just ride with me since we’re going the same way anyway,” I said directly as soon as I approached her.She didn’t move right away or say anything. I even saw her trying to call my number. I wasn’t bothered, since I had left my phone in the car earlier. She tried calling several times, but when
Elijah Theodore MartinezI thought my day would continue to go well after talking to Eliana and, somehow, restoring the good relationship we once had. Even though I know she still feels hurt because of what I did, I'm grateful that she accepted my invitation to have lunch with me. We may not have been sitting together while eating, but I was already happy that, somehow, I was able to share the same lunch break with her and talk to her.I also sent her a bouquet of flowers as an apology. At first, I thought she wouldn't like them, but when I saw the sparkle in her eyes as she held the flowers, I couldn't help but smile as well.However, what should have been a pleasant lunch quickly turned into worry when I heard that Eliana had almost vomited at her table. I was about to stand up and follow her as she hurried to the restroom, but the moment I opened my office door, Rachel greeted me by wrapping her arms around my neck and kissing me without warning.With the company's employees gradua
Eliana Grace HerreraMy mood remained sour all the way home because of the sudden vomiting episode earlier. I couldn't even bring myself to open or taste the fruits Theo had bought for me. I didn't know whether it was because of the smell of the salad dressing or because of the woman I had heard with Theo earlier.I didn't see the woman leave the office earlier. Perhaps she used the VIP exit that Theo often used as well. That's probably why, despite him coming to the office every day, none of the employees knew him personally—well, except for Miko, who happened to be his secretary."Are you done? The driver is already in the parking lot."I read the message Theo had sent after opening my phone.I quickly typed a reply before continuing to pack my things."Yes, I'm done. I'm heading down now."After replying to Theo's message, I grabbed my belongings and didn't look at my phone again until I reached the ground floor.However, as soon as I got downstairs, I immediately looked for the ca
Eliana Grace Herrera"I'm sorry for what I did. I will try to make it up to you." — TheoI repeatedly read the note that came with the flowers delivered to me earlier. I was expecting that Theo had ordered some food for us, so I immediately called Calix and told him that I wouldn't be joining him for lunch today. But what I didn't expect was the bouquet that the delivery guy handed to me.It was only a simple apology letter and a bouquet of pink and white roses from Theo, yet my heart felt as though it wanted to leap out of my chest. Because of that, I slightly flinched when my phone suddenly rang, the caller being the man who had occupied my thoughts all day.I cleared my throat before finally answering the call. "Hello..." I said, trying to sound formal."Do you like it?" the man asked directly. Perhaps he had seen my reaction to the flowers from wherever he was.I found myself nodding, not knowing if he could still see me, before gently smelling the flowers in my hands."Yes, I li
Eliana Grace HerreraInstead of easing my worries by shopping for the baby, who technically wasn’t even that big inside my womb yet, calling Theo only stressed me out even more. He hadn’t given me a proper answer earlier. Then again, he was probably just busy. I couldn’t really blame him, consideri
Elijah Theodore Martinez After my call with Eliana, I had no choice but to return to the bathroom and stand under the cold shower once again, even though I had just taken a bath. Even though the heated moment between us had passed, the warmth lingering in my body seemed to persist. I ended up spen
Elijah Theodore Martinez I didn’t realize that I had fallen asleep inside my car while watching Eliana’s house. I never really intended to stay here until morning, but the alcohol must have kicked in heavily, making me lose track of time. Before everyone else outside could wake up, I quickly left
Elijah Theodore Martinez I only stayed at the bar with my friends for a few hours. It was around eleven in the evening when I said my goodbyes, which annoyed Anton a bit since, as he said, I was the one who called for drinks but was now the first one to run out. I just ignored him and left some mo
