Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (electronic reader txt) 📖

One week since I last saw him. I am dying to go and see him but my heart is not yet ready to do so. I am smiling and laughing during the daytime specially when I am with my family but I am crying my heart out every goddamn night.

The pain never subside even a little bit and it grows even more day by day.

I didn't even have the appetite and I am losing interest in everything. I still go to school with Kaiden. Rumors starts to spread that we are together since nobody in school knows that we are actually siblings except for us and of course the love of his life, Alison. Speaking of my best friend she's so mad at Deus. She planned to confront him with Kai ang give him a punch but thank God, I stopped them.

I heard that the Cavelli's are also in a big controversy following Tres expecting child and of course Deus’s child with Helena. I didn't watch news or even open any of my social media accounts because I don't want to stress myself more. I also turned off my phone since Deus is calling me nonstop. He is texting me every second and I somehow have this urge to talk to him but I needed time.

Today I'm with my grandma. She is so ecstatic going out with me. We've been through a lot of stores and she keeps buying lots of lots of things for me. She reminded me of Nayana and I really miss her too. I hope she is doing okay despite the issues they are facing right now.

"I'm hungry, let's go grab some lunch." My grandma dragged me with her. She's sixty-five but she didn't look one. She's still energetic and he moves younger than her age.

We enter a restaurant and sit face to face. Her bodyguards sit in another table next to us. Yeah, she got bodyguards for safety. She is also quite famous because my late grandfather is a well-known businessman. His business is passed to my mom and her siblings and just like Deus they needed security to secure their lives.

"This is one of my favorite restaurants. They serve the best steak in here." My grandma is also talkative. Throughout the day she keeps on telling me everything about her. She's fun to be with and even though there is a generation gap between us she can still relate to millennials stuffs.

She ordered for us and she continue talking again. I am just listening to her and laughing with her. I learn today that I am the only granddaughter in the family. I mean all of her children conceived boys as their children and my mom is the only one who gave birth to a girl and that’s me. That’s explain why she is so excited to buy me clothes and girl stuff.

"Boys are so boring in terms of fashion you know. Look at Brandon and Blakely they never wear anything but their distressed jeans and hoodie. Thank God you are already here" she rolling her eyes remembering how my brothers dressed.

"They are cute though" I commented

"Of course, they got my genes" she boastfully points at herself. I didn't expect that though.

"Yeah" I agree cause even with her age she still looks so beautiful. Her skin is so beautiful and her face looks years younger. And the way she dressed? Gosh she's wearing something that is trendy and classy just like how new generation dress themselves.

"I heard you have a hot boyfriend, sweetheart. You need to introduced him to us soon" she said the word hot while raising an eyebrow at me. She's teasing me huh

"We're currently not on good terms Mama. But if we managed to fix things out perfectly sure I will introduce him to you. Kai personally knows him and his quite famous too. I bet you already see him maybe in the televisions or magazines" I said feeling so proud of him

I miss him

"Owww, I see. I hope you guys will figure things out and be okay" she said and I admit I really hope so too.

Our order is served and we start eating.

"Hmm, this is good" My eyes just form hearts and I somehow gained back my appetite. I eat heartily and Mama do the same yet she can't really stop talking.

In the middle of the sumptuous lunch, I didn't expect to see Tres. He is walking to my direction in a fast pace. He looks so worried and stressed. By the look of his face, I know something is up.

"Excuse me" he politely interrupts us but his eyes are focused on me. I can't read his facial expression but his blank stares make me nervous.

"What can we do for you young man?" My mama is simply admiring him. She even raised an eyebrow while checking him out.

"Can I talk to Ellie personally please. This is emergency" The way he said the word emergency makes me weak. Oh my G. This might be so serious.

"Do you know him?" My grandma asked me and I just nod. I stand up to go with him.

"Excuse us for a while" Tres and I walk outside the restaurant. He stands in front of me with his hands on his pocket.

"What is happening? What's the emergency?" I am so impatient. My heart is beating so fast. He looked at me straight in the eyes.

"I'm sorry for interrupting your time with her but you need to come with me." his eyes is pleading and it makes me feel more anxious and tense with what the emergency is about.

"What's wrong? Tell me because it's killing me." I said brushing my hair using my fingers. He closes his eyes and when he opens them his orbs holds different emotions. I can see that he is uneasy and nervous about something.
