PRESENT

Currently, I am in my office contemplating of all the things that has happened. I am not yet fully recovered by the traumatic experiences that I had in the past 24 hrs. When murphy's law hit you, as it says; "if anything can go wrong, it will and at the worst possible time."

I guess I was hit by the head so hard by this damn Murphy's Law.

First, Daniel and I was not in good terms now knowing he will be gone for a year or so.

Second, Dad caught me with Daniel sharing the same bed but apparently I have also no idea how does it happened and luckily paparazzi caught us as well when dad caught us. I don't know if they saw Daniel as well. But definitely another bulls eye by Mr. Murphy.

Third, Aira is on the verge of killing me because of what happened to Dad. Plus the fact that she had seen a news headline about me and Edward at the resort.

Fourth, Edward and I had a malicious photo going viral all over the social media and newspaper.

Fifth, Dad is so mad at me and he doesn't want to even see me when I visited him at the hospital.

Last and the worse of it all, Edward offered me to marry him as a solution to all of this problem. How can he even think of that stupidity when I am in a relationship with his brother. He is so out of the line!

I will have to talk to Daniel regarding this matter. I would rather marry Daniel instead of him. I should go see Daniel. Since, I am in the office now I think I will go to Daniel's suite to tell him everything. I am a bit upset about what happened but then I would like to see him so we can settle this issue once and for all.

I hurried to contact the water taxi driver and he said that he will be in the dock after 15 minutes. So I fixed myself in the washroom, I brushed my teeth and applied some blush and lip color.

I held a deep breath and talk to myself in the mirror.

"You can do it Keira, he loves you and you can figure it all out today." I said to myself in the mirror and smiled. That made me feel better.

I hurriedly went out of the office when I bumped into Edward.

"Where do you think you are going Ms. Soarez?" Edward told me

"It is none of your freaking business." I said with irritation

"Yes, it is, Do I need to remind you that I am your boss and you are my employee and soon to be Mrs. McDonaugh." He said as he lift my chin with his fingers and winked at me

"Excuse me! I am never your employee! May I remind you that my Dad is your business partner and base on my knowledge I am working for my Dad, you are business partners so basically we are just colleagues. And yes! I will be Mrs. McDonaugh! But I will never be your wife! So please leave me alone and bring back your senses!" I said as I harshly remove his hands

"Yeah, I remember you are under your Dad's. I wonder, what will he do to you once he recovered from the hospital. Not adding up the fact about 2 news headlines that are spreading on the internet faster than a virus. Hmmn, let me think! I bet he's gonna get you out from the company and disown you. Knowing his character. So that leave's you no choice but be my employee. So I have every right to ask you where are you going, since its still office hours." He said with the most sarcastic tone that I ever heard and looking at me intently.

"Please Mr. McDonaugh. I just have some important stuff to do. If you want to fire me then by all means, go ahead.But I have to go. Excuse me." I said not in the mood to talk back to him I have to go to the dock now before the water taxi leave.

So I ran fast past Edward and ride on an elevator and run fast to the dock. When I arrived, the water taxi is already waiting for me.

"To Mr. Edward's suite please. " I told the driver

"But Ma'am, He is already at the hotel." He said

"No, I will meet his brother." I smiled at him

"But Ma'am" He said and scratched his forehead.

"What? Is he also not in the suite?" I asked him in confusion as if he doesn't want to bring me there.

"H--he's there ma'am!" He said still scratching his head.

"Okay, please no more buts, bring me there this instant. I really need to see him now." I almost pleaded him and he nods at me hesitantly. The ride on the water is a bit weird this time. I felt a sense of discomfort and a bit of negativity throughout my ride but I just ignored it. I am thinking maybe the driver just gave me that vibe but there is really nothing to worry about.

"Thank you, I will give you a call again you may leave." I told him

"Is it okay ma'am if I just stay here for sometime? I just have to make a phone call to my wife?" He said still scratching his head

"Of course, I don't mind. I'll go ahead. Thanks!" I told him and I cannot help but rolled my eyes while I walk out from the boat. Why is he asking for my permission anyways, I am not his boss. Weird.

--------

When I reached at the main door, I was about to knock when I saw that the door is open. I am about to call Daniel when I suddenly saw crumpled clothes on the floor as if it has been thrown away. I felt my heart beats faster and I have no idea. Why am I palpitating. For all I know, Edward has done this with his woman. He is really diabolic. I thought to myself.

Then suddenly I heard a noise coming from Daniel's room. I removed my shoes as I don't want to create a noise when I was trying to walk towards his room. It's so strange I feel like there is a woman moaning in Daniel's room.

"Oh maybe he is watching a movie." I said to myself still walking slowly towards his room.

"If he is just watching a movie why are you walking as if you are like a detective." I talked to myself again

"Will you shut up Keira! He can never do that to me! I am just scared because maybe he is watching porn." I said again to myself.

"Okay then, how can you explain the clothes at the floor?" My other self asked again

"Darn! Fine! I will open the door to sort it all out once and for all." I told myself and heaved a deep sigh.

I was about to call Daniel when I saw his door is ajar. So I quickly take a peek at his room and hold the door knob and call him.

"Dan---" I wasn't able to finish his name as I was so shocked with what I saw. It is Daniel with another girl.

Caught red handed.

Both naked,

In one bed.

Making love

I felt as if I was submerged into a pool full of Ice. My body froze for a while with what I am seeing. Technically they are still doing what they are doing because they haven't realized that I am standing at the door. Daniel is on top of her.

I cannot fathom the pain that I am feeling right now. I don't know how am I still standing with this excruciating pain that I am feeling in my heart now. I feel as if my heart is bleeding as of this moment. I am here to ask Daniel to marry me and swallow my pride. But this is not included with what I have planned. I was unable to move. My whole body feels numb. When suddenly I heard a voice so loud that I wasn't able to ignore.

"So you will just let them do this to you? Give them one dose girl! Don't go home as a looser! If you go home and did not do anything you are going to regret it for the rest of your life" With that thought I suddenly regain my strength,Anger rose into me and I use that to fuel my rage in order to use my mind rationally.

Since I know all the whereabouts of the things here in this suite, I grabbed a big pale and a very big plastic of cubed ice and submerge it into the water. Since I am a frequent gym goer and I used to lift weights, lifting this pale with a bucket of ice is no big deal for me. So I straightly went to Daniel's room. I did not think twice. Daniel is still on top of her, and because they did not realize that I am already standing in one side of the bed, I instantly throw the ice straight to their heads and later to their body in less than a second as I grabbed my phone and took a video to catch how they will react.

"What the?!" Daniel said in disbelief

"Oh my God!" says the whore he is banging as she gasped for air and cough.I think she swallowed some water as she can't talk and keeps on coughing.

" K-Keira?!" Daniel wiped his face and looked at me in disbelief

"Oh hi! I thought there was a fire since it feels so hot in this room!" I said giving them an evil glare, I was so fast that I captured that video and sent it to Lilly right away in her messenger. I was relieved to see that she have seen the message. At that moment Daniel stood up and tried to grab my phone but I dodged him

"Keira, what are you doing! Give me that phone. Are you out of your mind!" He said and grabbed my phone and deleted the video and gave it back to me.

"Huh! You know Daniel if there is one person who is stupid in this room? It is you! You think I will let you hold my phone and delete the video just like that? Huh! Pathetic! Idiotic! Stupid! But I never thought you were that stupid by the way.Oh! Just to let you know, Lilly already have a copy of that video, so you idiots wait for what I'm going to do with that." I told him giving him a mischievous laugh as I leave.

"Keira, please let me explain." Daniel said as he grabbed my arms. He is holding a towel in his waist as he walks toward my direction.

"Oh!The moaning and groaning does all the explaining already, so don't bother." I told him as I brushed his hands off mine.

"Love, please!" He said

"DON'T you ever call me that! PLEASE!" I said as I raised my hand to stop him and gave him a deathly glare.Then walk towards the door when I remembered something, so I looked back at him.

"And Daniel" He stopped and look at me.

"The two of us? We're OVER!" I said as I walk graciously outside the door not looking back at him and I suddenly remember that I have to call the driver.

I was so surprised to see the driver looking at my direction as if he is waiting for me to go. Upon seeing him I walk to his direction and smiled at him.

"Can you give me a ride back to the resort?" I asked and smiled at him.

"Y-yes Ma'am!" He said and looked down.

When we are already sailing he asked me if I am okay.

"So you knew all along that Daniel is with someone?" I asked him

"M-Ma'am, sorry m--aam!" He said as he scratched his forehead and looked down.

"It's alright, It's not your doing!" I told him and from there on, we never talk again until I was about to get off the boat. I just thanked him casually and smile.

------------

My heart is so heavy and I don't want anyone to notice what I am feeling right now.I am feeling a bit better after what I did to Daniel and his other woman but I cannot help but feel strangely horrible.

Murphy's law really hits me real hard today. I though I already had enough when I enumerated all the things that murphy had brought me. But that wasn't enough, he had me caught my boyfriend having sex in front of me. It was a horrendous sight, a gruesome feeling, spine-chilling, appaling, --Damn! I can't fully describe what I am feeling as of this moment. Thinking of all the heinous words is not even helping at all. I feel the description is not enough.

I went straight to my office I tried to cry but there were no tears coming from my eyes. I sent an email to Edward that I am not feeling well and I need to go home early. I did not wait for his reply and just closed my computer.

I cannot fathom the idea of Daniel doing that awful thing to another woman. I admit, I deprived him of having a very intimate relationship with me. But I was very honest and loving to him. I guess that is not enough for him.

"Since when?" I asked myself. There was a lot of question running through my head. I cannot believe that after all that we've been through he can do this to me.

I know he having that bad-boy image and that is tattooed in his soul but when we were together I never felt as if he is a bad-boy at all. He was so giving, so kind, protective and loving to me. I cannot believe this is all happening now.

How will I be able to survive all the humiliation of the media. I am already a flash report in the media. My dad will surely will never forgive me.

All I wanted to do is make things right. But why everything is falling apart? Why everything is going wrong.

What did I ever do to Daniel for him to cheat on me.

Am I not enough?

Does he not find me attractive?

Do I bore him with my personality?

I think I am going crazy thinking about all of the things.

However, I am so surprised about what I did a while ago. At least, I made them feel stupid. Even just for that instant. Even though, I know that I am the one who made a huge mistake. And that is falling in love and trusting Daniel McDonaugh. Despite the fact that I know his character. I still trusted him.

It's been a while since I have already sent a message to Edward but I still wasn't able to move my body. I can't understand why I am not crying at all. I am suppose to cry. I am suppose to let it all out. But there were no tears falling in my eyes. Then suddenly I felt my phone vibrate. It is Lilly.

"Hey!" I said as I answered the phone.

"Hi, are you alright?" She asked sounding so worried.

"You mean after seeing my man having sex with another woman? I guess I am." I told her and a heave a deep sigh

"Can we meet Keira?" Lilly asked after she heaved a sigh.

"Sure, I am also not comfortable to talk in the phone. I will head in to your house tonight. Is that alright?" I asked her

"Of course, this is your house too. We used to sleep here before together, remember those sleepover days that we had." She said trying to make me feel better.

"Yeah, and how we almost destroy your mom's antique vases when we were throwing a pillow fight with each other." I said trying to think of some other things that will lighten my mood. I am trying my maximum to divert my attention to different things.

"And you remember that hot guy you met at the beach? Who told you he is going to marry you?" She asked and I remember.

"Yeah, I was just 10 that time. He helped me when my foot got stung by a jelly fish." I said to her smiling for real this time

"Yeah and we sleepover together, and the whole night you bore me talking all about him." She said and I could sense that she is now rolling her eyes on me.

"Look who's talking, then who bore me when we slept over and you talk about that unknown man whom we met during the prom night?" I said as I chuckled lightly

"Oh, enough! you are reminding me of my first kiss!" She said laughing at the end of the other line. "You really know everything about me, It would be very difficult with me to fight with you because you know all of my secrets." She said still laughing

"Silly! And you know all mine so its just fair!" I told her also laughing now

"I guess If we ever fight I will zip up your mouth." She told me still giggling on the other line.

"Oh Lilly! Will you stop. Anyways, I have to go I will call you once I am at your doorsteps. Thank you for the call. You made me feel better. " I told her and heave a deep sigh

"I know you can handle anything Keira, you are smarter and tougher than you thought you are." She said lifting my spirit

"Thanks Lilly, love you big time." I told her

"Love you too, see you later." She said

"See you later, bye" I said as I cut the line
