“Close your mouth guys. Mosquitoes will enter your mouth. Pfffftt” Axiel can hold back his laugh because of their reaction. Making fun of them is incredible. Just getting his revenge on their behavior last night. But no offense.
“Am I dreaming mom? Dad? The heartless and cold guy we know is now joking around? What a miracle.” Joanine surprise said. Its hard to adapt for nows happening.
“Am I not allowed to be happy?” he change his expression quickly. He is hard to offend. No one have the guts even his family but not to much. His mind is matured enough like an adult.
“You are not but wow, you laugh once in a blue moon kuya. Do you something?” Naomi’s tone was full of amazement. They totally knew that Axiel is just before, cold and vicious guy they know but he surprise them by his actions now.
“Is he a bad guy before?” Lyn ask out of curiosity. She isn't beside him on those six years. She didn't know what happened when she is not in his side.
“Uhhmmmm... let's just say, he didn't live happy by those years you're not beside him ate Lyn.” Joanine respond while recalling those horrible memories Axiel have. She's being practical to say the truth to Lyn. She need to know about everything.
“Is that true baby?” Lyn ask to Axiel facing him with a teary eyes. Starting to blame herself again if its true.
Axiel sense her emotion so he respond her using a sweet voice and full of assurance, “Yes baby but don't worry. Its not your fault. I'm one to blame about my behavior baby. It doesn't matter now because you're with me. So please don't blame yourself again. I didn't want it and it will make me crazy. Please baby.”
He plead for the good. For Lyn to stop blaming herself for the fault that she didn't do. Its all fault of Loraine not her. She is innocent to all of it and a victim too.
“But-”
“No more buts baby. Do you want me to be like that again?” Axiel cut her and threat her.
“No, I didn't want too.” Lyn said and shake her head back and forth. She doesn't want it anymore. She's willing to be on his side and make him happy. Willing to paid those years that she is not with him.
Axiel hug her and said lovely, “That’s my baby. I love you.”
“I love you too.” Lyn respond and kiss him on the lips.
“Hey stop that love bird. We are still here guys.” Naomi interrupted them. So clingy and sweet. She envy them.
Being single while watching them is very hurtful to eyes.
‘Lovely sweet couple.’
‘A perfect pair.’
‘Blessed tandem.’
‘Ideal partners.’
You can call them on any term that suits them but they all describe them. Destined to each other that all dream off.
“Are you feeling good ate Lyn?” Joanine ask when they are in the dining area. Having their breakfast as a whole family. So beautiful in the eyes to see. She miss her family now. She hopes to visit them one of this days.
“I’m fine sissy Joan. Thank you guys for taking care of me last night. I appreciate it.” Lyn call her by what she call Joanine before. Sissy Joan for Joanine and sissy Omi for Naomi.
“Owww.... are your memory back? You just call me sissy right?” Joanine's eyes become big as owls eyes. Shockness is written on her face even the others.
“Yes. I already remember everything last night. I'm thankful about it because I already find my half, my past memories.” Lyn respond. She didn't want to hind nor act. They deserve to know the truth too.
“Ohhh myyy goshhhh. Ate Lynnnnn.” Naomi and Joanine jump out their sits and come near Lyn for a tight hug. They miss her so much.
“That’s enough. Lyn have a class today and they have an important act to do with her groupmates.” Axiel interrupted them. Its already seven thirty in the morning and the class of Lyn will start at eight thirty. One hour left and they are still eating now. Lyn need to take a bath and prepare as well.
“Just ask Lance about what I'm talking about. Finish your meal baby. You need to prepare for school.” Axiel added. He knew that his sisters will ask him about the act so he said that.
“Mommy, are you staying here for a long time?” Lyn ask because she misses them too.
“Yes dear. Just finish your meal and be ready to school. Let's just continue to bond this afternoon.” Kyla said with a sweet voice. They planned to stay here in two months for a vacation before going back.
Breakfast is finished silently after their talk. No one dare to talk and finish their meal. Lyn take a bath on the bathroom at their room while Axiel use the bathroom at the next door.
Axiel drive her to school before going to his company. His employees greet him but he just nodded to them. There's a lot of paper works in his table. Waiting for him to be signed or rejected. He let out a sigh before ordering his secretary to make a tea for him through the intercom.
‘Baby you have a call
Baby you have a call
Baby you have a call’
His phone ring as he sit on his swivel chair. He get his phone and see who is the caller.
He said, “Owww”
‘Daddy Mateo’
‘Is there anything happened to them?’
‘Why is he calling him?’
‘Whats the matter?’
“Hello dad. Good morning.” he respond happily. Yes, he called Mateo ‘dad’ as it says to him. Mateo is the father of Lyn and has a wife which is Mary, the mother of Lyn. They live in province where he meet Lyn before, six years ago.
“Good morning too son. How are you doing?” Mateo greet and ask. They treat him as their son too because Lyn is their only daughter. They really love her and willing to do everything for her.
“I’m fine dad. I hope you too and mom.” Axiel face the glass wall, watching other buildings in front of him while talking to the father of Lyn.
“We are fine too son.” Mary was the one who respond. They might together. Its good for them to talk about things.
“That’s good mom and dad. By the way, why did you call me?” he ask again. Not to rush them but he need to finish and finalize those papers to fetch Lyn before their class end.
“Is our daughter okay there? Someone tells us that she's studying at your university. Is that true? Did she remember you?” Mary ask out of curiosity. She really wants to know about those things. She is worried on her daughter. Lyn suffered enough before and just please not until now. Lyn is the only daughter they have.
“Lyn is okay here at my house and even in the university mom. About her memory, yes, she already remember me mom. She have a nightmare last night and this morning, she says that she already all her forgotten memory.” he answered casually with respect. They will become his in-laws when Lyn and him got married.
“That’s good to hear son. Can we visit our child there? We miss her so much.” May begged. As a mother, she want to take care on her child even he or she was away from her. Even fathers too. Their kids safety is the first priority.
“Ofcourse you can mom. My parents are here too and even my sublings, mom. I will let my chopper fetch you today so you have bonding with my family.” he's please about what they say. Lyn parents and his family in a mansion together, that is wonderful. Specifically that Lyn has her memories now, he can't for the day to end. He misses Lyn so much
“Thank you son. We will gonna hung up so we can pack our things already. Bye son.” Ronald ended the conversation. He thought that his father-in-law will not talk to him either.
He replied, “Okay dad. Just wait for the chopper to fetch you. Bye.” he ended the call first. The parents of Lyn didn't want when they are the first to end a call so he did that. Not a disrespect but a favor.
“Let my chopper fetch Mr. and Mrs. Ramirez and bring them at the mansion.” Axiel call Lance and give an order before ending the call immediately without hearing Lance answer.
He start scanning those papers when someone knock.
He said in his usual office voice, “Come in”
The door open and it comes in his secretary holding a cup of tea.
“Here is your tea Master. Sorry for the delay because there's a problem on the pantry. But don't worry sir, its all fixed by now.” Erika put down the tea at his table carefully.
“Is that all Master?” she added.
“Yes. You can go back to your work.” he answered without gazing at her. So focus on his work.
Erika nodded before bowing and leave. She mind her business and do her work appropriately. Files must go through her before her boss. She need to scan it first before giving It to Axiel.
Time pass so fast and its already four in the afternoon. Time to fetch the lady of Axiel, the one and only Lyn. The future Mrs. Monteverde. Plan are going into planned.
“Papers are in my table Mrs. Erika. Get them and bring on their respective branches. I need to fetch Lyn. Her parents is already at the mansion.” Axiel said when he come out at the office. Handsome and charming as always.
She just answered him respectively, “Yes Master. Drive safely.”
“You must go home too. You're family is waiting for you.” Axiel is concern on his employees too. He is strict but kind hearted.
“Go first Master. I'll just gonna finish this last report Sir. It is needed tomorrow.” she smiled at him. Saying its okay for her to extend her time here at the office just to finish this important document.
“Okay, your choice Mrs. Erika. See you tomorrow.” he ended the conversation not to take it long. His baby is waiting for him.
“Same to you Sir.” Erika respond to her boss.
Axiel strolled to the elevator wearing his cold aura. The boss they dreamed the most. Even he's strict, he know how to care for his own subordinates. Much kindness that others know the most but the devil of him hide on the character. Just when his love was hurt and his family.
Lance open the door of the car for him when he reach his parked car at the underground parking lot exclusive for him his subordinates. Axiel get his phone to call someone.
“Its me, Axiel. How's my order to you? Is it ready?” he started the call and ask immediately with full of authority.
“Yes Master, it is ready for pick up and I assure you its quality. Exclusive and my new invention just for you, Mr. Monteverde.” the call receiver answered respectively. That guy know his capabilities for him not to offend him. Nice one. Power and money can let others bow and follow you.
“Just assure it Mr. Mendez. I can smash your company if you mess with me. You know I hate liers and not true to their words. SUPER.” Axiel emphasize the last word. His threats is terrified and scary.
“Rest assured Mr. Monteverde. No one dares to mess up on you, even me. I didn't have the match and guts to offend a VIP. I'm courting if I do Mr. Monteverde.” Mr. Mendez says in a frightened voice. You can tell that he is shaking right now.
Axiel chuckled, “Good for you to know Mr. Mendez.” he ended the call and glare outside. His cold expression was still on him. Not minding problems he have. He's a Monteverde for nothing. He's not afraid for everything except his biggest treasure. He can’t live if Lyn wasn't on his side. His energy and life.
