Amellie Cruz
I am standing on the rooftop of aunt Helena’s restaurant. Sir Edmond wants to talk to me.
“Is there any problem, Sir Edmond?”
“Nothing actually. I just wanted to thank and bid my farewell to my feelings for you. I need to stand up beside the woman who take care of my child and starts my journey in loving her wholeheartedly.”
“Oh wow. That’s deep. You should Sir. Sam is a sweet and string girl. She still needs a man that will be there when she’s tired and need someone that she can lean on. Please take care of her and Daniel. That child is a sweet one. I hope you understand what I mean.”
“I know. Thank you for letting me notice Daniel who exactly like me when I was at his age. Actually, that night that I have with Sam still haunts me in my dreams but all those year I can’t remember the face of the woman that I made love in Germany.”-he said.
“Now you knew. She didn’t dare to abort Daniel, stood up straight and became a single mother even if she’s still a student. You should be thankful that you’ll marrying that kind of girl.”
“I am.”-he said with a smile on his face. At Sam’s office, I took a deep breath.
“I’m sorry if somehow I let him know about Daniel.”
“No. Actually you’re a great help. It was you who push the situation that I have now strength to push to. When I saw him again on your first day here, everything came back. That memory I have in Germany. I even lied to Daniel and actually I’m planning to tell a story on how I will tell him the truth but now? We are now a family and its because of you.”-she said. I smiled.
“I’m happy that I made a difference to all of you.”
“You did. Anyway, you have to get ready because we will be hosting a wedding anniversary on Saturday. The garden of this restaurant will be the place they’ll held their ceremony. They’re a power couple in business world and I’m sure they’re a bit…you know the attitude.”-she said.
“Okay. Don’t worry, I’ll be a good help on Saturday. Just send me the details of the menu that we will prepare for that day.”
“Okay. Thanks again, Amellie.”
“You’re welcome, Sam.”
After my duty on the restaurant, I went to the parking lot and I saw him leaning on his car door. I took my phone ad take a photo of him.
“What is that for?”-he ask after he gets closer.
“Souvenir. Because your too sexy and handsome on that position. Something like that.”-I said.
“Tss. Such a naughty.”-he said and he hugs me.
Ethan Andrews
We are in a bar and I have bring our driver to make sure that I won’t be driving with the influence of alcohol.
“And why did you suddenly ask me to have a drink here?”-he said. I put down the glass.
“I just wanted to celebrate.”
“Celebrate? For what? Wait, is she pregnant?!”
“If I say yes, is there anything wrong with that?”
“No! I mean I’m just curious. But is she?”
“Nope. Not yet but of course we’re planning so.”-I said. He sigh and drink his scotch.
“Tell me Ethan, if one day your life isn’t what supposed to be. What are you going to do?”
“Uhm…if that time comes, I won’t go back and change what is already done. If the current situation made me happy then there’s no sense of going back.”-I said. He smiled.
“Of course. That’s what you should do. Never go back as long as your happy. Remember that dude.”
“I will. But your questions since my accidents are becoming mysterious to me. Is there anything that your hiding from me, Peter?”
“Nope. Nothing.”-he said. I just laugh.
“Anyway, that Tyra girl. The one who came with her friend for the cooperation of Andrews Chemicals and El Parfum in Paris, how is it?”
“Well, she got some attitude. Just like what I said she’s trying to seduce me when she gets the chance but still same result. It’s nothing to me.”
“I hope that you will get away from her advances. You have a more gorgeous and caring wife. You don’t need a slut like her.”-he said. His words seems bitter and full or warning. I laugh.
“Relax Peter. It made me feel like you hate her somehow. Have you meet her before.”
“Yes–I mean no. But the way she acted around you? That’s already a proof.”-he said.
“Well, you have a point. Just like what I said, don’t worry because I don’t feel attracted anymore.”
“Good. I’m happy to hear that. Anyway, change topic. Luna and I will be having a double wedding with Asami and her cousin Sora. A week after their graduation.”-he said.
“I’m happy for you. At last, you’ll be joining the club of married people. I will be your best man, okay?”-I said. He smiled.
“Of course.”-he said. He leave first after Luna called him because she is unwell. She’s having a dismenorrhea. I waited for Edmond, I wanted to talk to him. And he is now standing in front of me.
“I learned that your going to marry Sam next moth. I hope you will concentrate to her, treat and love her wholeheartedly. I hope your starting to forget about Amellie already.”-I said.
“Don’t worry. I won’t be your rival anymore. I already said my words to Amellie and I am now on my journey of falling in love to Sam. Just like what you said, she deserves to be loved wholeheartedly.”
“Good. We will surely attend your wedding.”
“That will be nice. I hope we can start all over again Mr. Andrews.”-he said and give me his hand. I take it and look at him.
“Of course. And also, I like your bar. How about we talk about this in some other time?”-I ask.
“Well, let’s do that.”-he said. After that, I went out and the driver starts to drive us home. I smiled and close my eyes. Now, everything is good on that side, I will be handling Tyra and the problem lies within her sleeves and I won’t let her do any harm in our companies. I took a shower and after that, I lay down beside her. She must be tires, I knew tomorrow will be the update of her manga. I caress her cheeks and kiss her forehead.
“Good night, love.”-I mumbled.
“Good night too.”-she answered. She embraces me without opening her eyes. I smiled and went to sleep also. At the office.
“Can I have a minute?”-Tyra. It must have been the situation that happens between her and Amellie yesterday. I nodded. She sits on the desk.
“Your fake wife. I mean Amellie, you should strangle her. She might ruin your name an this company. She got some issues.”-she said.
“I already talk to you regarding that matter isn’t it? I ask you to stop picking a fight with my wife. Tyra, my wife is not born to be bullied by the likes of you. She is raised to be brave especially when she’s doing the right thing and when she didn’t do nothing. Mom and dad even me makes sure that she is not someone that will cause problems.”
“Are you telling me that I’m lying. Oh erase it, just remember what I said. You should be wary because women are cunning.”-she said. I crossed my hands and look at her confidently.
“Don’t worry, I knew that too well.”-I said.
“Okay. I’ll go ahead.”-she said. I shook my head and smirk. She never changed.
“Is that Tyra?”-Peter opens up the door. I nodded and he looks worried for some reason.
“She never changed. Not even a bit.”-she said.
“What did you mean by that? You speak like you know her yourself. Don’t tell me she’s one of your flings?”-I joke to him.
“Me?! Nah, I won’t dare. But don’t think about it. She is just a person that you should pay attention.”
“Okay. You say so. Why did you suddenly visit me?”
“I am thinking if you can help me out with some problem that I am facing.”-he said. We talk about it. It’s his new project and he wants me to invest.

I was walking on the street when I bump a man. He look at me and pick my book.
“I’m sorry miss. Here’s your book.”-he said.
“Thank you.”-I said. He smiled and then went on his way. I sigh, what a coincidence.
“So your here.”-I mumbled. I decided to ask Sora-kun’s help. I knew he is good when it comes to this point. He just raise another business and that is detective agency after he established his law firm. At hos office, he serves some tea. I taste it.
“Your good in making tea, Sora-kun. But before I forgot my purpose. Here’s the details.”
“Is he a threat or something?”
“Yes. I didn’t believe that his presence here is purely coincidence.”-I said. I give him the details and doubts that I have in mind.
“Okay. Don’t worry, we will take care of the rest and I’ll give you every results that we will be able to find. Don’t worry.”-he said.
“Thanks. Don’t tell this to Asami especially to my family.”-I said. He smiled.
“Of course, our transaction will only be between us only. Don’t worry Amellie-chan.”-he said.
“Thanks, I have to go. Anyway, Asami is having a bad day because of what happened in school. Date with her and lift her mood.”-I said.
“Okay. Thanks for the advice. Take care on your way.”-he said. I nodded. We bow down to each other and after that I left his place.
“Mom?”-I knock on the door. She is now working in Andrews foundation since yesterday. She smiled.
“Hi sweetie. What brings you here?”
“Well, I just came by before going back to Andrews Capital. I bring us some food.”-I said. She smiled. I decided to drop by here first.
“I’m happy that you came. Your father and I will eat lunch outside. How about joining us? You and Ethan?”-she suggested.
“Of course mom. Actually I came here because I miss your presence in the office. Anyway, I can see that your busy. I hope you didn’t mind.”
“Of course not, sweetie. Thank you for the food.”
“No problem mom.”-I said. We enjoyed the snacks that I bring and after than, I leave her office and went to Andrews Capital. I knock on his office.
“Get in.”-he said. He saw that it was me.
“I need your help.”-I said. I place the folder on his desk and sit on the chair in front of him.
“About this graph?”-he said. I nodded.
“I can’t find the reason how could they get this figure. This is the first set of surveys from Instagram. It was a good feedback but I find them odd. I am re-investigating the calculations that the staff made.”-I said.
