Ruthless (Ongoing)

THE condominium is packed with almost everything that I need in terms of appliances. I just need to buy foods to stock in my refrigerator tomorrow when the market's already open. I unpacked my things in the nearest room upstairs. The surroundings are full of pastel designs which gives a vibrant sight, there are also small plants at the corners and outside the veranda, and the space is enough for about 1-3 persons living inside. As I finished unpacking my stuffs, I walked towards my veranda and sniffed the air's purified scent. The wind is gently blowing some parts of my hair and I could feel a gentle warmth that's hugging me. Maybe God is watching over me? I looked down below and saw how wide my pool is; seeming like it could be filled with all of my friends. The pool's ocean blue color is getting more pleasing to the eye as the light emitting from the moon is reflecting onto it. 

I arrived at exactly 13:00, thanks to Hermione's aid. "Welcome to Valencia's Tutoring Centre! How may I help you?" A lively, petite woman greeted me as soon as I entered their lobby. I genuinely smiled to introduce myself and said that I already have a scheduled appointment today. I glanced over the entire lobby from time to time while the receptionist is still searching for my name. "Miss Rain Alejandro, right? Please proceed to the main office on the 16th floor. Thank you and have a nice day." I walked across the large passage, thinking how wide the space is. Am I really applying as a tutor or as a mafia? I reached the end of the hallway and entered the elevator as soon as I pushed the call button. I pressed the number 16 on the right side and let the door slowly close on its own. "W-wait!" A well-groomed m

Why is Hermione here? Isn't she mad? I entered her car and rode on the backseat. "Why are you here?" I softly questioned her. I looked at the rear-view mirror to see her expression. She sighed and smiled. "We're friends, that's all there is to it. I'm sorry for what I said about you. Like I said, I know all of your capabilities. So, I'm also informed of the things that you wouldn't dare to do, I was just surprised." It feels like I won't need to worry about our friendship then. I'm delighted. "Gracias mi amiga, te amo!" I rejoiced, thanking my friend and telling her I love her. "Drive me through the university." She started the engine at full speed, which is why in just a few minutes, we've already arrived at the university. I'm so appreciative that I have a wonderful friend such as Mione! We entered through

A phone number is written at the end of the note. I tried to look for Denver but, he's nowhere to be found anymore. I decided to go back to where Hermione is. I keep on being pushed behind, in front and also beside me. These crowd just don't lessen up. I've taken about 3 minutes of my life just to exit that coffee shop. I can't see Hermione where she was sitting before. I inserted my hand into my pocket to get my phone but it's not in there. Damn it. I think I forgot to claim it from Hermione earlier. I'm supposed to call her and ask where she went, if only I have my phone with me. How can I be this unlucky? 

 WEEKS have passed since the street incident and, Hermione is now staying with me on my condo ever since then. "Rain, I need to go now. I have some work to do on the hotel," she reminded as she hugged and gave me some small kisses on the cheeks. I waved her goodbye. "Is Rain Alejandro home?" A person outside the main gate shouted. I looked through the transparent glass window and saw a tall, tanned-skin man in his 30's. He is wearing a red cardigan sweater and a black t-shirt beneath it. I walked outside and opened the gate for him to enter. "Miss Rain, your application form that you submitted last time just got approved by our manager, Miss Carmilla," he announced. "For real? Can I go over to the pha
