LOGIN"Dad, I like Jayson. Can you help me get closer to him?" Carlota pleaded earnestly, her voice tinged with desperation and longing as she stood in her father's office, hoping to enlist his aid in her determined quest to win over Jayson. She couldn't ignore the persistent feeling of rejection whenever Jayson distanced himself from her attempts to engage him in conversation."Are you really that foolish, child?" her father's voice thundered, echoing with frustration and disappointment, piercing through Carlota's resolve like a sharp arrow. "Of all people, why Jayson? There are so many other men out there!""What’s wrong with liking Jayson, Dad? Is there something wrong with that?" Carlota retorted, her voice filled with surprise and confusion at her father’s harsh words. "I don’t see any problem in admiring him. Besides, Dad, Jayson is handsome and, above all, wealthy. He could greatly help in expanding our business if he becomes my husband," she added, her determination unwavering, her
Jayson is constantly on my mind, consuming my thoughts to the point of madness. Here I am, sitting for what feels like an eternity, trapped in a cycle of starting without finishing. The phone keeps ringing, each call ignored because I refuse to be disturbed. Yet my mind remains stubbornly fixated on him, on Jayson, looping endlessly in my head.It feels wrong, a constant internal battle telling me I'm making a mistake. I treat Jayson the same way, with indifference, despite knowing he hasn't done anything wrong since we got married. He's been nothing but kind and considerate, while I let my misplaced belief—that our marriage was a mistake—rule me. My pride, relentless and unyielding, insists that I’m right.His acts of care, like cooking my favorite meals or waking early to make breakfast, should be my domain, yet he does them without complaint. Each time our eyes meet, every moment we share, from waking up beside him to feeling his gentle care, I sense something stirring within me. B
“What are you doing here?” asked Eloisa's father.“I’m getting bored at home, Papa!” Eloisa replied as she slowly sat down on the small sofa in her father’s office.“Where is Jayson?”“He's busy, he's working in his office,” Eloisa answered again.“Why is he working? You just got married, you should be spending time with each other.” Eloisa's father said.Suddenly, he called Jayson. “Jayson! Where are you?” Eloisa's eyes widened.She didn’t expect her father to call her husband. She was really surprised and wanted to tell her father to stop calling Jayson. But Jayson had already answered the call from her father.“I’m out in the field.” Eloisa heard Jayson’s voice; apparently, the call was on speaker.Eloisa could clearly hear Jayson’s every response to her father’s questions. “You’re newlyweds, but how can you stand leaving your wife at home? I agreed that you wouldn’t go on a honeymoon abroad. But why is this happening? Eloisa is here begging to start working because she’s getting b
"I'm sorry I didn't notice you were already here in the living room. I was just about to get some coffee from the kitchen," Jayson said after he saw Eloisa peeking from the kitchen.Their eyes met and they exchanged glances. Eloisa couldn't move while standing outside the kitchen. She stepped back a bit when she felt the coffee almost spilling from the cup she was holding, nearly spilling onto her toes. She also felt the warmth on her fingers from the drops of coffee that had splattered onto her hand."That's okay, Eloisa and I were going to have coffee too, that's why we came down here. I'll go home later when the sun rises; I want to stay with Eloisa first. You were really drunk earlier. Just how much did you drink?" Nica asked."Just a little, I guess I'm just tired, so the alcohol hit me hard, and I got drunk quickly," Jayson replied."That's why; it's a shame this was supposed to be your first night as a married couple, but look at what happened between you two. I hope you can re
"Your husband seems to be drinking a lot of wine", says Nica as she looks at Jayson. “Why don't you help him get dressed," Nica asked.That's not your problem. He had hands. She can change her clothes after she wakes upNica smiled. But you're his wife. It's your responsibility from now on."“Really? Do I really have to do everything?""Naturally! You're his wife." Nica exclaimed. While Eloisa and Nica were talking. Jayson suddenly woke up. Jayson heard some part of the conversation between the two women. He pretended that he was still asleep while the two women were inside his room. He kept on listening to what the two were talking about. The main topic is him.“I'm his wife on paper". That's what Eloisa said.“But, you already married him. So now he can call you his wife." Nica corrects what Eloisa said.“Oh, my God! Who is your friend? Him or me?" Eloisa's question to her friend Nica seemed like a childish one.“Of course, you are!" Nica says that she laughed at her friend Eloisa'
"Dude, why did you get married if your union is going to be hell?" Chris's words seemed to be chiding but it was like the wind that passed through Jayson's ears. "That's the difficulty to the person who rushes to get married without thinking about what will happen first." it seems that he is scolding instead of reminding Jayson of what comes out of his mouth. "It's enough to drink that, you'll get very drunk from what you're doing. Love is like that..." Chris hadn't finished what he was saying and he hadn't even snatched the wine from Jayson's hand. Jayson put the liquor bottle on the table.Jayson still belched. He also looked behind as if he was looking for something else around. Chris looked surprised. His eyebrows met. "Can you bring me one bottle," Jayson ordered the waiter who came after him, it also nodded and stepped away from the two of them. *****"Gaga, why did you agree? And now, you're going to cry out, moaned, and grumble like that... As if your parents deprived you o
"Are you following me?" Jayson ignored Eloisa's shouting while confronting him while asking. He was looking at a woman. "Are you okay?" he asked with concern. He was looking at the woman's face. The woman's face had cleared up a bit now from earlier when he saw that the two women almost exploded in
"Eloisa was the girl I loved before Nicole. Do you remember the contract we got on a condominium with one hundred floors? One of our biggest projects that contract is billions worth. Maybe you remember that project in the last few years. Our company was just getting started at that time, but because
"Do you know each other?" Jayson was still confused. Eloisa had already left after she slapped them. They were left with a strong slap on both of their cheeks. They were stunned. It was as if a strong wind blew them into both of their ears. Eloisa only stopped when she noticed more people were watch
"Hi!" Eloisa gave Jayson a plastic and sarcastic smile. When Jayson was able to hold her by the arm and then held her in front of her. Jayson's grip on her arm was a bit painful. She winced a little. But she calmly looked at it face to face. After they face each other.Eloisa could see the shock on J
