The truth is, I wanted now to back out from this project but I know I can’t. First of all, LHI was not a simple client. Second, I knew what Luna had gone through just to get this meeting. Third, I don’t want to give them a wrong impression about my company, CIC. And lastly, this project has nothing to do with what happened between me and their CEO.
I shook my head. My twins were very good at choosing their father.
Jace guided us to a conference type of room. We went straight to the door behind the office table. I already noticed this door a while ago. I thought it was a room specially prepared for their CEO, in case he will bring girls and have sex with them. He looks naughty and has many hookups. I really thought that having a one-night stand was already his hobby.
I was really shocked when I saw the room behind his office table. As I said, it was a conference type of room. It has a long table, seven office chairs, and a 70” flat screen TV for presentation. I also notice that on the left side of the room, the glass wall was a frosted type that you can use as a whiteboard.
I was so amazed by this idea! It really maximizes the space of the office. I think I can also do this in my office with some twist of course. I feel so excited about my office's sudden makeover.
LHI was truly an amazing one, from the looks of their hotel to their offices, I was very speechless about how they work. The impression that I got about them made me more eager to get this project. I am worried though, that if we got this deal, it may complicate things in my personal life.
Though I was a bit worried about this project, I was still able to present well to them.
We don’t have yet the design for them because LHI has yet to give details for this project. All we know was that they were now planning to open up a resort here in the Philippines. They did not release any more details about the project. We don’t have any idea where they are planning to put up the resort.
What I present to them were things about my company, and sample works of our company that were related to hotels and resorts.
I actually have a design idea for this project. LHI has been one of my dream clients to have, I did some research about them long ago which is why I have an idea on the core or signature design of LHI. Despite that, it will be very hard for me to present something when I had no idea about the project or even just the size of the location of the resort.
In all fairness, he seems serious while listening to my presentation. There's no hint of any funny business.
Our discussion regarding this project was serious and professional. And with the flow of our discussion, there's a high chance for us to get this project. I’m not even sure if I wanted to win this.
"I think we've heard enough. You have a high chance of getting this project. But I can't still guarantee that because I still have few companies to meet." He said in a formal tone.
I am not really used to his formal tone and business aura. This side of him was very far from his playfulness and naughtiness when I met him in the bar and mall. I really find him not bad to be the father of my twins.
"We understand Mr. Escarrer. I guess we just have to wait for your decision. It will be a great honor to have this project with us." I said to end this meeting.
When the meeting ended, we both offer a handshake. When I offer a handshake to Mr. Escarrer, he held my hand more tightly.
My forehead furrowed. Then I saw him smirk, His face went closer to mine.
"I'm glad that you are this good. I think it‘s fate that keeps on binding us. Don't you think?" He whispered.
"So you mean we'll get this project?" I asked him in a whisper.
"There's a high chance." He told me with the same low voice.
"Well, I hope not," I said.
He barely moved away. "What do you mean?"
It’s my turn to go closer to his face to whisper.
"To prove to you that it was not fate but just a mere coincidence."
I removed my hand from his.
"Bye Mr. Escarrer," I said then smirked.

Epilogue
I thought that life is so unfair. I even hated God for letting all of this happen. I only loved one woman in my life, but why did God allow me to be the reason for her sufferings? I hated God so much that I tried to kill myself. I feel like, my mere existence is the cause of the suffering of many people. The suffering of the people I love. They said when you don’t understand, you just need to trust God. I failed to do this. I failed to trust Him. One thing God has proved to me was, that He is still in control. He did not let me die, instead, He gave me what I longed desire, and that is Ellie. I can’t believe that she asked me to marry her. It felt like a dream. I can’t believe that I am here on the altar waiting for her to walk down the aisle. Today is our wedding day. Our family and friends were delighted when they found out that Ellie and I will get married. The twins cried with happiness. They have been praying for this to happen, day and night. I can’t stop my tears from f
Proposal
“Ellie, my brother committed suicide.”“W-what?!” Kaela didn’t say anything. She just kept on crying. My heart was beating so fast. “Kaela please tell me you are kidding. Ulie did what?” I said a bit shaking. But again Kaela did not answer and just kept on crying. My children started to ask me what happened because my tears are flowing again.I took a deep breath. I need to gather myself together because my children are with me. I can’t tell them about what happened. I shake my head and smiled at them. “Nothing. Your Aunt Kaela just wanted me to see your dad.”They just nodded but I know that they are not convinced by my answer. We went straight to the hospital. I called Luna and asked her to go to the hospital because I needed her to take care of my children.When we reached the hospital Luna was already there. “I heard what happen. How is he?” She said upon seeing me. “I don’t know yet. I need to talk to Kaela first. Can you get the kids and take care of them?” I asked. Luna
Dream
I was so devastated after my daughter pushed me away. I talked to my son and asked him to stay with her sister tonight. I know that Amelia needed her brother right now. Even though Amelia bullies her twin brother most of the time, Alistair is still her confidant. I am planning to go to my parent’s mausoleum tonight. I needed to see them with all the things happening now. This is what I always do whenever I feel down and lonely. Just being with my parents comforts me, especially when I start praying to God with them. It is just like when they are still alive, we pray and worship God together. It’s a good thing that I made this mausoleum exactly like our home, especially in times like this. I can stay here for as long as I want. When I went inside and saw my parent's grave, tears start to fall again. Losing them only seems like yesterday. “Mom,” My voice broke. “My daughter hates me. She doesn’t want to listen to my explanation. She thought that I will take them away from their fa
Amelia knows the truth
“What kind of stupid question is that? Of course, I’m not fine. My daughter hates me now. It’s all your fault.”Ellie hates me and I can’t blame her. It was my mistake who took away the lives of the people close to her... Ellie’s only family.Because of me, Ellie became an orphan. She needs to take on difficulties and responsibilities at an early age. I am proud of how strong she became but I am also mad at myself because she could have avoided this kind of loneliness and hardship if it wasn’t for me. I keep on questioning myself why did I do that?! Why did I try to beat the red light?! I should have waited! I was able to wait for her for five years, but why can’t I wait for a minute or two? If I stop and wait for the green signal then her parents will be able to attend their only daughter’s graduation and still be alive until now.I wish I could turn back the time but I know I can’t. All I can do right now is to support Ellie and help her as much as I could. I will no longer dream
All your fault
“What’s there to explain about? We heard about your plan with her loud and clear! You are so selfish, mom! I hate you!” Amelia shouted then she went out of my office.I glared at Hadley. She covers her mouth. “Oppps, I’m sorry! But don't worry everything will be alright after I execute my plan. Bye!” Then she went out of my office as if she won a lottery. I felt so weak. My daughter hates me more now. But what is she doing here? I was about to go to Luna and ask her why Amelia was in my office when I saw Alistair looking at me. I went to him and hold his hand. “Alistair I will explain.” Alistair nodded which gave me a huge relief. “Before that, we need to find your sister,” I told him then we both went out and look for Amelia. One of my employees told us that they saw Amelia going down the elevator. When we reach the lobby, one of the guards told us that Amelia already left. Just a second after the guard informed me about Amelia, my phone receives a call from the bodyguard I a
Loud and Clear
“Hi, Ellie. Amelia called me and she wants me to take her to the mansion.” Karma explained when I was the one who opened the door for her.I just nodded and I open the door widely for her to come in. I showed her to the twins’ room. I saw both of them sitting on their respective bed. But Amelia has a bag with her, looking determined to leave me. I controlled my tears from falling. I know I messed up big time. I guess they are better to stay in Escarrer mansion than be with me. I was still mourning for my parents. I was not able to mourn for them before because things happened so quickly that I find it hard to absorb everything. I was in denial for years. I don’t want to accept the reality. I pretended that everything is alright and nothing has changed. I took over the company as soon as the funeral was over. I took as many workloads as I could so that when I went home I don't have time to think of anything and just sleep. I have been doing that for many years until one day my de
