HER ADDICTION

What do you think you are doing?' She abruptly stood to her feet, pushing the man away from her. 'And who are you? What are you doing in my house and kitchen?' The unknown man rose to his feet, wearing a puzzled look. "Your house? Your kitchen?" "Yes," Nino tried to sound confident even though mere looking at him sent cold blood down her spine. "A burglar won't be treating himself to dinner so who the heck are you?" "I should be asking you this," his cold impassive voice came again. "Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" After being cheated on by her boyfriend. Nino learnt her house has been sold to a complete stranger, the news of her parent's house being sold by the man her parents borrowed a loan from and couldn't pay back before their death. The news hit Nino Peterson to the core. She swore to take back her parent's house but when she realized the amount the man bought her house, she knew she couldn't pay him on time or send him packing either. So the two reached a compromise that she will still live in her parent's house until she was able to pay back the amount the man paid on her house. But will she be able to live under the same roof with a man knowing he's a complete stranger and the atmosphere will not be the same anymore? And when she also learns the truth about the man living under the same roof with her, would she be able to deal with it?

QUIT YOUR JOB

Joana

My jaw dropped as those words flew out of his mouth. My body went momentarily numb, watching the distasteful judgemental look in his eyes. I know he's being frustrated about what happened to him. He can vent his frustration out on me but accusing me wrongly is something I can't tolerate.

"Aren't you?" His cold voice came.

"Why would you think that? I just told you I had to work late. Working on some cases."

"Don't make up excuses," he scowled. "I know you are having affair with your boss."

"Listen, Desmond, I will tolerate a lot of things from you but accusing me of cheating isn't acceptable. I'm working my ass off every day to better our lives, you accuse me of having an affair?....."

"Right, I know of course I am jobless and you are the one working." He curled a fist and whirled away from me.
