3 Chapter 3

Cong Guevarra has long liked her. I could see it in his gaze so it was Mommy's weapon to get close to him easily. But the thought of them being together in the same house warms my head.

If Mommy ever remarried, that man would not be Cong Guevarra. And I can't accept that he took Daddy's place. My Dad was irreplaceable. There is nothing like him healing and loving for Mommy and me. So we were very depressed one day when we saw him dead on the spot landing on his plane at NAIA from America for some business matters.

I went to the bedroom and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. The thought of Dad's death warms my whole body. I wanted revenge for what had happened to him but I still couldn't. I'm too young, I'm just only twenty. Just graduating this coming May and there is still not much money to fight the Guevarras. Though, I already have all the property left by Daddy because of Mommy's wishes.

I adjusted my tie in my bathrobe then went out of the bathroom. I went straight to the refrigerator while wiping my hair. I took cold water and drank it. I continued wiping my wet hair until the doorbell rang.

I turned to the clock. It's eight o'clock in the evening. I frowned at the monitor to see who was outside the door.

Jhun, out of my surprise! What is this gay man doing here?

I quickly opened the door for him. He smiled when he saw me.

"Good timing," he said.

I let him inside. "What are you doing here?" my straightforward question .

"I was not allowed on the cruise ship because my name was not on the invitation," he said sadly.

I frowned. "Don't tell me they really checked on those who were invited to attend the party?"

"Yeah. They said they were just being careful because  Mayor's invited upper class personalities. "

I looked down at the two boxes he was carrying.

If I'm not mistaken, that gown and heels. My brows furrowed.

"And you came here to take me to the party, right?" Jhun smiled.

"Yes, I'm hoping. I bought you a dress and heels if you will, " he said.

"You know I'll agree so you bought me, Jhun," I raised an eyebrow.

"I know you won't just leave me on the air, Mischa," he replied artfully.

He just laughed when I stared at him. I quickly took the two boxes next to him then I went into my room to get dressed.

I opened the dress she was saying and took it out of the box. I moaned when I saw one of those sakura pink, sexy satin, jewel neckline, backless short A-line cocktail dress. I also opened another box and I saw a color similar sakura pink heels. I smiled as I got dressed. Jhun really have a nice taste at all. So maybe we get along because we both like it.

When I left the room I went straight to the living room were Jhun is waiting. He whistled wen he saw me. I smiled at his reaction.

"You look stunning, Mischa! Maybe my crush won't notice me anymore. I should have bought a different dress for you. "

I just chuckled at him. we got out of my condo unit and went straight to the parking lot where his car was. He helped me get into the front seat before him.

Then, he started the car running.
