Clyde RELEASED my mouth after he said that.
“You didn’t make a proposal! You’re blackmailing me!” I moaned but he just laughed.
“So what’s your answer?” Question it.
I clenched my fists and confidently shook him.
“I won’t let you do what you want. My life is hell now, it will be even more hell if I come with you!” I shout.
His eyesight deepened. His face darkened. “Okay, then. I’ll put you in jail. I’ll ruin your life forever. I’m a devil, right?” Aniya.
“And, Spencer, your boy best friend. They have a company right? What if I take it down? I’m a monster when it comes to business. I can take it down. Then it’ll be your fault.” He still seemed proud to say.
“How would you feel when you lost everything to him? Will you be able to see him suffer?” He asked with a smile.
“Just try!” I shout.
“And what? What will you do when I do?” He laughed. “Remember, you’re just a poor woman. You can’t do anything against a demon like me.”
“You beast don’t touch Spencer!” Turan ko.
“You really love that man, huh?” His gaze only deepened and his jaw tightened.
“You only have two days to decide, Nathania. Monday night you should have an answer. Remember. Only your wrong decision will affect many.” It warned and left in front of me. He got in his car and quickly pulled it over.
I woke up EARLY the next day because of a series of knocks and calls from Manang Amy.
Even though I was tired and wanted to stretch, I forced myself to get up to open manang.
“Nathania!” Manang called when I opened the door.
“Yes?” I will ask.
“I’m sorry hija but you need to get out of here.” Its primarily that amazed me.
“Huh? Why?” My first question.
“Someone has already bought this land. I’ve been looking for a buyer for a long time. No one is buying because it’s small and it’s not good. It’s a good thing someone bought it. I’m sorry hija but he said he will demolish the broken ones- It’s a broken apartment. Maybe it’s better if you just look for another apartment. ” He explained that my lips felt sorry for him.
“P-Po? M-Man, I can’t find anyone else. This is the only apartment that can fit my budget!” I appealed but manang just shook his head.
“I’m sorry hija. It’s supposed to be demolished at ten o’clock. You need to get out and leave here hija.” Manang tapped me on the shoulder and left.
I could not move for a few seconds.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Where will I live now? I wiped my face and felt heavy putting away my belongings. Maybe I’ll live with Spencer first. Maybe it’s okay with him.
At nine o’clock I finished packing. There are people already preparing for demolition. I glanced at them and took a deep breath. I was leaving the area when I was hit by an expensive car not far away. Clyde leaned there and crossed his arms. It stared at me without emotion. I stared at him. I wouldn’t be surprised if he bought and demolished the apartment. Will he even deny me a place to live?
I took a jeep to Spencer’s condo. The guard let me in immediately because he already knew me. I always used to come here.
When I got to the door of Spencer’s condo I knocked. I waited a few more moments until the door opened and Spencer came out of there with no top and only a boxer shorts.
“Nathania!” It calls and the fun fades on the face.
“H-Hi!” I’m a little embarrassed to greet you. He glanced at the bag I was carrying.
“P-I’m sorry for the inconvenience. I was kicked out of the apartment. I have no one else to go to but you. I hope it’s okay …” I said. His face cleared and he let me in.
“You know you’re always welcome here Nathania.” He smiled and took my bag.
I also smiled at what he said. “Have you eaten yet? I have a dish cooked. You might want to eat.”
“Oh it’s over! Thanks Spencer huh? I don’t know what I would do without you.” I sincerely complain.
He nodded. “Why were you kicked out of the apartment?” He asked.
“E-Eh because … someone bought that land so it was demolished.” I explained that he was nodding.
“Is it okay for you to be the only one here later? We’re having a family dinner tonight and maybe I’ll be at home to sleep. Is it okay for you to be the only one here? Don’t worry, it’s safe here.” He explained that I immediately nodded.
“It’s OK!” My answer.
He smiled and sat on the sofa in front of the tv.
“Let’s watch Netflix? Old habits!” He said happily that I smiled and took my place.
We were really like this every time I was here at her condo. We always watch Netflix. I know it doesn’t sound right that we’re together somewhere, but we really just call each other brothers and sisters.
All we did that day was watching and eating. It seems like my problem is temporarily gone. By five o’clock Spencer was ready for their weekly family dinner.
“Feel free to do what you want to do, okay?” He said when he finished preparing.
I smiled and nodded. “Yes, Thank you! You really fell from the sky.” We laughed together and he messed up my hair.
“I’m leaving. Take care, okay?” I nodded again until he left the condo.
The condo was quiet after he left. I was hungry so I ate dinner and sat back on the sofa to watch. As I watched it was as if I felt something wet in my panty. My stomach hurt a bit too so I seemed to know what was going on. My period!
Fortunately, my pain was not so bad. I don’t have a napkin yet. Maybe if I don’t snuggle I’ll watch Spencer’s sofa. Eventually I decided to leave the condo to buy a napkin. I went out of the building to look for a store. I don’t like it in the condo store because it’s expensive there! I will only buy three pieces.
I walked about ten minutes from the condo until I found a store. I bought and stayed there for a minute first because I also bought softdrinks. I was finishing my drink when suddenly a noisy fire truck passed by. People rioted and the vehicle headed in the direction of the condominium.
I was suddenly nervous and ran towards the condo. When I got closer I was amazed at what had happened.
The 15th floor of the building is on fire!
The floor where Spencer’s condo is!
