18 Chapter 18

I moaned in annoyance. j*rk! I cringed at myself when I felt he was no longer outside. I quickly took my bra under my pillow and quickly put it on. I went down then to eat. I found Nana Julia waiting for me. Her face brightened when she saw me.

"Good morning," I politely greeted her.

"Morning, hija. please eat." she nursed me and piled rice on my plate.

"Thank you," I said to Nana Julia with a smile and started eating.

I remember Yaya Linda on her. Ever since I lived in my condo unit, I haven't been able to visit our mansion in Manila very often. When I'm in the mansion, I don't think about anything but Daddy. On why he died early, why Mommy decided to be close to Cong Guevarra, and why the world was so unfair to me.

"Do you have any problem, hija?"

I turned my gaze to Nana Julia. Her concern could be seen in her eyes. Just like Yaya Linda at all. I shooked mindlessly.

"Nothing," I lied.

"Did Kalex fight with you? I heard the door slam and it was as if you shouted earlier upstairs."

I winced. "We just didn't agree on something."

She stared at me intently. I seemed to be measuring whether I'll tell the truth to her or not.

I averted my eyes and continued eating. "You look like lovers and you both seemed compatible." commented by Nana Julia.

I drank water quickly. It never entered in my mind to like the boastful and arrogant like Kalex. Never! "You are mistaken. It just nothing. "

Nana Julia nodded. "If Kalex just didn't have a girlfriend I might think that boy would like you."

My eyes widened at what she said. "He will not like me, Nana Julia."

She smiled. "Why not. You are beautiful and kind."

I shooked. Wanting to kill or harass me is still okay. I would be more receptive but like me in a romantic way? A big no. And what did Nana say? Kalex, have a girlfriend? I can't believe that man deceived someone.

"Who is Kalex's girlfriend, Nana Julia?"

"That's on TV."

I stared at the television hanging on the wall in their living room. I saw the smiling face of the woman there while holding a beauty product she endorses. When I stared, I recognized the woman. Eunice Guevarra Magallanes!

Eunice is a famous model and TV artist. I only saw her once at Jhun's Daddy's party. She's tall, sexy and very intimidating. She had daring covers in all magazines. Her last cover that I saw in the magazine was still trending all over the Philippines because it was so vulgar. She has no covering to wear and only her own hands covers the private part of her body. She is Vergel's cousin and Cong Guevarra's nephew to his only sibling. I think almost everyone around me has something to do with the Guevarras.

"Do you know Eunice, hija?" Nana asked when she saw my surprise.

"Who doesn't know a famous person like her, Nana?"

"Hmm. you have the point," she said and resumed eating.

"Isn't Eunice visiting here?"

Nana Julia nodded. "Just often. Her last visit here was when she was with his uncle Mayor Cong Guevarra to talk to Lawrence. After that she could not return to the mansion even though Kalex declared that she was his girlfriend. You were even the first woman he brought here to the mansion and introduced to his parents."

I raised an eyebrow at what Nana Julia said. She's exaggerating! As Kalex's playboy style, I'm sure he can deceive many girls. Maybe he just didn't make it obvious to Nana Julia.

"And you were still the first woman he put to sleep in his room. Even a maid can't enter his room, hija."

I don't want to give malice at what Nana Julia is saying.

"He put me to sleep in his room because the vacant rooms haven't been cleaned yet because he didn't say he had someone to go home with," I explained.

Nana Julia's eyes twinkled. "Is that what he told you?"

I nodded.

"Mischa, are you still not done yet?"

Nana and I stopped and turned to Kalex who is approaching us.

"I'm almost done," I said before pouring the last rice on my plate.

"Are you leaving, Kalex?" wandered by Nana Julia.

"Yes, Nana. I will just take Mischa for a walk outside so that she can buy the things she will need to live here."

I got up and drank some water. "Be careful," he warned.

"Thank you for the food," I smiled gratefully at Nana.

"Nothing, hija," Nana Julia replied happily before Kalex pulled me out of the house.

Last night it was dark and I could barely see what was around the mansion. This morning I couldn't help but marvel outside. There is a small fountain right in front of the mansion surrounded by a garden planted with different colors of roses! Kalex put me in the SUV and just let me sit completely.

While on the trip I couldn't help but look at our trail. We exited the gate of the mansion. Two security guards were on duty there. Looking back, we also passed a mango farm that the workers harvested. They put on their basket every fruit they get. There are probably twenty mango trees. After passing the mango farm, I moaned at what I saw. The whole land was next with a few stallions! I even saw an old man bathing a horse in the stable.

"Is the land still yours up to here?" I asked Kalex without looking at him.

"Yes, and up until downside is still ours," he replied.

I couldn't help but sigh and leaned back in my seat. The area they owned was too vast for me to escape. I'm sure I haven't passed the mango farm yet, he will know immediately that I'm missing because of the amount of workers watching on me.
