HONEY, WE MEET AGAIN

XYNETH'S POV I am Xyneth Lava Asuncion, a hard-working woman, but I'm broke, which is why I'm desperate for another job. Today is my contract's end, so it's my last day working as a waitress in the restaurant. I don't know why my life feels incomplete these past years. It's like I've forgotten something more valuable than my own life. I sigh as I get back to work, serving the customers as usual. I approach the woman sitting near the glass window and politely ask, "What is your order, Ma'am?" The woman stops using her phone and looks at me. "I want adobo, sinigang, and steak. For dessert, I want macaroni and halo-halo." I smile at her and reply, "Okay, Ma'am. Please wait for a minute, and we will serve your order." I turn my back to retrieve her order. Heading to the kitchen, I grab the dishes the woman had ordered. Rosalie, one of the staff working as a waitress in this restaurant, approaches me. "Dear, today is your last day, right?" I chuckle. "Stop saying it like that. It m

XYNETH'S POV I can't believe what just happened. Part of me had hoped that one day, I would cross paths with that man again, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. I'm still trying to process the situation. The man chuckles at my expression. "What a small world, our paths always cross again." I don't know what to say, so I simply nod my head. "Are you uncomfortable?" he asks, and I immediately shake my head before speaking. "No, I'm not, Sir. It's just that I don't know exactly what to say. I apologize," I say politely. "Don't worry about it. Let's get to the point. I'm going to ask you some questions, and you have to answer them truthfully. Okay?" he says in a cold tone, enough to make me shiver a little. I nod my head. "Okay." He smiles at me. "Please sit on the couch. You might get tired if you keep standing," he says. I go to the couch near him without any complaints. I'm looking at his direction, and he's looking at me. I'm waiting for the interview to start. "Okay. Fi

XYNETH'S POV I was already at the Emperial's Mansion, exactly at 4:00 in the morning. Thank goodness Yves had registered my fingerprint to open the door and gate, or else I would have spent the early morning outside the house. As I entered, the house was quiet, and I noticed a note stuck on the refrigerator. I read the words: "I have something to do today, please take good care of my son. I'll be back at six. Choose any room you prefer." That was the note Yves left. Following Yves' instructions, I looked at the rooms. I went up the stairs to the second floor and saw seven rooms with different colored doors. I chose the sky blue door, which thankfully wasn't locked. I looked around the room, which had a sky blue theme and a queen-size bed. I placed my luggage on the bed and opened it to unpack my clothes into the closet. I placed my laptop, phone, and notepad on the table, while other belongings were placed on another table. I hung my clothes in the closet and arranged my shoes an

XYNETH'S POV "You're sleepy, right? Let's go to sleep," I said, but he shook his head. "I won't..." "But you just said earlier that you were sleepy, right? So let's go to your room and let's sleep," I softly said to him while he was still clinging onto me, and Yves was just staring at us doing nothing. The two maids were busy cleaning the table. "I'm sleepy, but I won't sleep," he insisted, making me sigh. "And why is that? It's already late at night, and you have to sleep so that you will grow fast," I told him, but he just pouted and kept insisting not to. "Can you tell me why you won't go to sleep, dear cutie?" I said sweetly to him, making him grin cheekily, but then his face suddenly turned sad. "Because I'm afraid that this might be a dream created in my mind. I'm afraid to wake up feeling empty, and I'm afraid to wake up without you," he sadly said. I couldn't help but pinch his cute, adorable cheeks. "Silly. Where did you learn to be so sweet? Don't worry, I won't go a

CHAPTER 9I WAS HUFFING, catching my own breath as I ran hard. I don't know where I am, all I can see is a dark abandoned building. I don't know why am I here.I ran as fast as I could but it was no used, I heard some growling noises, the noise of the falling leaves which blows cause of the wind.My heart was beating so fast, I can also feel my legs shaking and wanted to give up. In any minute, my legs could turn into a jelly cause of nervousness and scared.My legs are trembling so as my whole body. My eyes starting to watered, because of the darkness. I'm scared of darkness because I can feel that someone migjt watching over me."H-Hello? W-Who are you? W-Why are you being like this?"I don't know what comes to my mind when I uttered those words. It feels natural when I spoke those words.Where am I? Why am I here? Where is Yves and Xavy?I clenched my fist to calm all my nerves, I'm still shaking... I don't know why did I felt like
