CHAPTER FIVE
“Your ex is crazy rich, Cassidy! I can’t believe he really paid thiry million to have your billboard removed!” sabi ni Christian mula sa kabilang linya.
“Hindi rin ako makapaniwala.” Gilalas pa ring sagot ko.
“I can’t believe Mr. Chua took the cheque.” He said.
“I was kind of expecting him to tear it in half.” I replied.
“It’s just a billboard, Cassi. We’ll get a new project soon. Don’t worry.” He tried to cheer me up before ending the call.
After Mr. Chua accepted the cheque, I angrily stormed out of the building. Aaron followed but I gave him a death stare. Kaya pala walang pumasok na guard dahil ipinaharang niya sa dalawang bodyguards niya.
The thought of him makes my blood boil. I need to relax and loosen up so I decided to go to a mall salon and have a makeover.

The next day, I woke up to the loud banging on my bedroom door.
“Cassidy! Gising na anak, may naghihintay sa ‘yo sa ibaba.” It was Manang Soling. Siya na ‘yong nagsilbing nanay ko simula pagkabata. I got up from bed. I hastily opened the door and Manang’s smiling face greeted me.
“Kanina ka pa hinihintay sa baba, anak.”
I walked towards the living room and saw my cousin and her husband.
“Cyrelle, how have you been?” I gave her a hug and nodded to her husband’s direction. The last time I saw her, she was still pregnant with their first baby.
“I’m doing good! I dropped by to give you this.” She handed me an invitation. It’s my nephew’s christening.
“I know you’re busy with modeling sometimes but I want you to promise me that you’ll come. Ninang ka.”
“Wouldn’t miss it, Cy.”
“Whatever happens pupunta ka?”
I inwardly groaned. “Yes, ang kulit. Why did you even marry her?” Tanong kong nakakaloko kay Aldrin na tawa lang ang sagot.
“I’ll come. I promise.”
Her face lit up. “Great! We have to go now.” Hinatid ko sila hanggang sa gate. They rode the car and Cyrelle lowered the window so she could shout. “I forgot to tell you something!”
“What?”
She winked at me. “Ninong si Aaron.”
