Chapter 81

"Thank you again for everything that you have done for us, Drake. This is something that I cannot forget in my entire life," Miss Catalina said while she was looking intently at Drake.
Harmony was just looking at both of them.
Earlier inside the man"s car, she didn"t know what to say. For the first time since they met each other, the atmosphere became awkward.
She never thought that she would be like that in front of the man. Suddenly, she felt a bit uncomfortable because of everything that the man confessed to her. But she couldn"t understand what he was talking about Paul.
As she knew that everything that was between her and Paul was already over. And there was no way that she would be getting back to the man no matter what happened. She had enough of him.
In fact, she already told Paul about that a million times, he was just the only one who was insisting himself to her. She no longer loved the man. She had learned that when she saw him and her heart didn"t changed the way it beat.
She felt nothing but only surprise to see the man at the hospital.
Harmony knew that it was her who he wanted to see and not his father.
She let out a deep sigh. She was confused with everything that happened to her today. She felt like she had been exhausted for the whole day. She never felt this so tired before.
"Is there something wrong, sweetie?" Her mother asked her. It seemed that she noticed her.
She shook her head. She didn"t want to add anymore to those things that her mother was thinking.
So, Harmony smiled.
"No, mom. I am just happy because finally, Dad is back home," she said while looking at her.
"I am so happy as well. I thought it would still take time for your father to get the surgery but Drake made everything possible," her mother said and then she patted Drake"s shoulder.
She smiled timidly at the man.
She saw him looking at her.
"By the way, Miss Catalina, I will get going now. My grandmother is waiting for me for dinner. I will just come back some other time but please, if you need any of my help, don"t hesitate to give me a call in my mobile. You got my number, right?"
"Yes. Thank you again. Please drive safely," Miss Catalina said and they both followed Drake. She was thankful that the man already said goodbye and decided to go home.
They were standing at the front of their house and watched Drake"s car drove away from their place.
"Are you sure you are okay?" Her mother asked again.
"Yes, mom. Why do you ask?"
"Nothing, sweetie. You just look problematic earlier. If there"s anything that bothers you, just let me know, okay? Don"t worry much about your father because I could say that he is fine now," her mother said, and they both walked heading inside the house.
"Thank you, mom."
Harmony quickly laid her back in her bed as soon as she got inside her bedroom. It had been a while since she last used her bed. They had been staying at the hospital most of the time.
"Hmn..." She moaned as she buried her face in her pillow. It was soft and huge. It was a body pillow. Her favourite among all the pillows that she had. She could still remember that it was the same pillow where she cried when Paul broke up with her. She couldn"t believe that she was like to pour everything that she was feeling to it again.
She lifted her head and let out a deep sigh.
Why was she thinking about Drake and everything that he had said? The man told her that he was willing to wait but what made her mind to be in turmoil?
She shook her head when she realized how she was thinking about things in a complicated way.
She shouldn"t be getting stress. It should be Drake. Anyway, he was the first one to confess and he was the one who said that their contract was already nulled and void.
She couldn"t believe that a Villarama would be falling in love with her. And to the fact that he was the only heir of the family.
She knew that she was going to be hated. Not by his grandmother but by his father and his Aunty.
Harmony knew them so well. She had seen their behaviour the first time that she set her feet at their house.
So, suddenly, fear and sadness crippled inside her chest. Her life could be miserable if she would be following her heart.
She also didn"t want Drake to be hated by his family.
But what should she be doing? Could she stop her heart from beating for him?
Drake had been so good to her but she knew that she had fell in love with him when the man took her at the place where they watched fireflies. It brought a different kind of emotions inside her. She couldn"t deny that to herself even if she was acting like she was not into him in front of Drake.
Beside, Drake was a lowkey person. And, that"s one of the things that she really like about him. She never thought that she was the sole heir of the Villarama"s until his grandmother told her so. But still, she was not blinded by his money. Drake wasn"t difficult to love. In fact, it was so easy to fall in love with him because he was kind. He was everything that a woman could ask for.
There were times that he acted like so rude and an asshole, but he was kind. He was just proud and he knew how to use all his assets and charm.
"God, Drake, why are you doing this to me? Why do we have to fall in love with each other and make everything just so complicated?"
