###Chapter 12

We're walking towards the bridge silently because no one dares to speak between us. There aren't too many households around this area so that adds even more to the silence that we both already had. If any houses can be seen here, they are not on the side of the road so it is a bit far. It's normal for me that I don't have many people to see here in my area but when I cross the bridge, there's a lot of people there and a bit crowded because that is the rich version of this town.



The two of us remained silent for about five more minutes until we reached the bridge where Wayne started to break the silence that I don't even expect. "You know what, I hate this place." He suddenly spoke in a low tone of his voice.

Like what I've said, I didn't expect him to break the silence between us but I just didn't make it a big deal and then I throw a startled look at him.



I saw the

This time, I walked faster than Wayne, and he followed silently behind me. I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with him after what he heard about me earlier, but despite that, I simply decided to act as if nothing had happened and that I was no longer affected. After all, our personal lives are distinct from our business relationships. We will both get benefits here— there will be no cheating or greed.



With Wayne's help and support, I can win the case and reclaim our land, while it pains me to admit this to myself but he is no longer at loss to me anymore. It's not a big deal if something happens between the two of us because, as I already stated, we've done that thing before… and I even lost count.



After a while, we finally arrived at Pio's house. I saw him cleaning his pick-up car. His position was slightly turned in my direction, so he hadn't seen me yet, so I im

###Chapter 11



THE next day, I was startled by a series of knocks I heard outside my door that disturb me from sleeping peacefully. I could not help but feel annoyed because this was the second time that someone was disturbing my sleep. The first one was because of the old woman from yesterday then this happened again today.

Don't tell me that was Mrs. Cruz again… because by chance, I might not be able to control myself anymore and I would strangle her with the gold necklaces wrapped around her neck.



I feel like I'm deafened by that series of knocks that continuously can be heard in the background, so even though I don't want to get up yet… I didn't hesitate to get up from where I was lying. If it is just the old woman from yesterday bothering me right now, I will let her taste her own medicine! I swear to God!

I didn't even bother to fix myself much and my messy hair from my slee

I saw the side view of his face because he was just looking straight at the bridge we were crossing while I w
