Chapter 2 Shaking hands

chapter 2

POV;

Heather handed me my cellphone and I started to get nervous again.

"Call Cash and read this." He said and handed me a piece of paper.

The corner of my eyes immediately watered when I read what was written on the paper.

"I don't want---" Heather slapped me hard that's why my cheeks went numb and I tasted my own blood.

"Don't try to refuse or ask Cash for help! You know what I can do!" He screamed angrily and grabbed my hair again.

I just choked with pain.

"Call Cash now! I can't wait to have him." Heather said happily and tightened her hold on my hair.

With shaking hands, I opened my cellphone and looked for Cash's number. I looked at Jacob asking for help but he just looked at me coldly.

I closed my eyes as my tears fell. I will not let our baby Cash be harmed.

Whatever I say, I hope you don't believe it. I called Cash and tried to cry even more when he immediately answered the call.

"Babe where are you?! Fuck babe! I'm fucking worried! Are you okay? Our baby? How's our baby?! Where are you?!" Cash's worried shout on the other line.

My tears flowed even more and I had no intention of saying a word. Heather's grip on my hair tightened even more.

"cash." I called him that's why he stopped asking.

"During the time we've been together, I found out that my Love is different a-and h-not you. My Love is Jacob." I stopped reading and covered my mouth and stopped sobbing.

"babe what are you saying? Where are you? -I'll pick you up and we'll talk." Cash asked tremblingly on the other line.

Don't believe Cash please!

"I don't want to lie to you Cash. So I'm leaving with Jacob and I'll take a million from the company so we can start."

"no! Are you joking me?! Pranking me?! Babe it's not funny! Tell me where the fuck are you and we'll talk." My heart ached when I heard his angry scream but it was mixed with pain.

I close my eyes to read What I'm going to read next.

Next, my tears flowed and I prayed.

Don't believe what I say, Cash, it's like you're sorry.

I cried and prayed and closed my eyes in fear when Heather pointed a sharp object at my neck.

"I'm not ready to be a mother cash.." I stopped so Heather pressed the dagger on my neck more.

"I'm going to abort our baby Cash.. and when I'm ready to be a mother we'll form our own p-family with jacob." I just closed my eyes because I couldn't stop sobbing, so Heather immediately grabbed my cellphone and hung up. 1

"Make sure Cash doesn't trace our location." Heather commanded Jacob with a smile and approached Jacob and kissed him.

Jacob stiffened where he stood and eventually kissed Heather back.

When they finished kissing, Heather looked at me happily.

"I'm not that bad That's why I'll be giving you a money to start your boring life again." He said with a smile and immediately disappeared.

"Diana stay away from here and don't show yourself to Cash and me because you already know what I'm going to do." He said in an emphatic way while looking at me evilly.

"Anyways, I'm your baby's godmother ahh?" He said he was happy. Jacob placed the big black bag in front of me.

"Stay away, Diana. I'll take care of Cash." I was stunned because of what was happening. That's why I was surprised when a gun went off at the same time as the side of my thigh hurt.

"Don't make the mistake of disobeying me Diana!" He shouted and grinned. My eyes widened in fear that he would aim at my stomach.

"Leave now Diana! Before I fucking kill you and your baby!" I immediately hugged myself and my knees were weak to stand up and run and I didn't touch my thigh anymore.

"Hija wake up we're in Manila."

Breathing and pale, I immediately woke up to dream again about what happened that day.

"Hija are you okay? You're pale." I immediately turned to my old neighbor and gave him a small smile.

"I'm fine. I just had a bad dream." I said and looked out the window. I'm in Manila again.

"Sya, be careful here in Manila." He said smiling and handed me a plastic suman.

I immediately took a deep breath and smiled sadly that I was actually in Manila.

someone's POV

I dropped the ballpoint pen I was holding and felt the sensation.

"Come in." I said when someone knocked on my office door.

I immediately glared at one of the private detectives I ordered to look for him.

But several years have passed and they still have no news of his whereabouts.

I stopped immediately because of what he said. I'm ready to curse him before he speaks.

"We already know where ma'am Diana is."

"We saw him at the bus terminal and I sent my men to follow him." Immediately the monster that I had locked up for a long time was gone.

I grinned and closed my eyes and put the beast back to sleep in its cage.

Damn you Diana.

Why did you show up again? Is the million you stole from my company gone?

Can't jacob feed you properly anymore? I laughed weakly because of what I thought.

"You'll regret coming back," I said to myself, "Diana!" Emphasize if said to himself

I smiled and looked at the private detective.

"order your men to tell everyone that no one will accept Diana for any job."

Diana's POV

I took a deep breath before entering another ten restaurants that had a waitress posted.

It's getting late and I haven't found a job yet.

When I entered, I found that there were many people and the waitresses were in a hurry because of the number of customers.

I approached a waitress with a tray full of orders.

"Hi ahmm can I ask where is the manager here?" I asked him as I followed his walk.

He ignored me and went straight to a table full of students. He served the orders one by one and because of the weight of the tray, the orders almost fell.

Fortunately, I grabbed the tray right away.

He looked at me full of gratitude and continued serving.

I helped him because the students looked at him badly.

"The order is about to fall, because it's stupid." Two female students whispered. I placed the last order and was surprised to see the male customer who held my hand.

"Hi Miss can I have your number?" He said and licked his lips.

I just took a deep breath and tried to withdraw my hand but he pressed his hold on me more.

"Hey! You students! Study hard and don't just flirt!" The waitress who was with me preached and each other pointed to the students who were flirting with their boyfriends and pulled my hand from the hold of the male student.

The person who grabbed my hand stood up angrily and pointed at the waitress.

"Hey you! You're just a waitress here so slow down your speech!" That's why other customers looked at our behavior.

The male student grinned and held the hand of the waitress

"but you're beautiful anyway." He said and licked his lips and looked at the waitress's body full of desire.

I will help Sana the waitress who immediately slapped the man.

"You're stupid!" He said and pushed the man. The man looked angrily at the waitress and was about to attack the waitress as soon as the guard and the manager arrived.

"What's going on here?" The old female manager asked the students.

"That waitress of yours is rude to the customers." The man said angrily to the manager.

"Hey! You're crazy!" The waitress shouted and Sana was going to attack the student, but the manager immediately stopped her.

"Go to my office Sandra!" The manager yelled at the waitress and looked apologetically at the students.

"Excuse me..." The manager apologized.

"Tsk" Said the waitress whose name is Sandra and walked away with a thump.

I just swallowed and bit my lip. It looks like Sandra will be happy because of me.

When the manager finished talking to the customers, he raised an eyebrow at me.

"Will you apply for a job?" The manager asked me rudely.

I immediately nodded even though I was still worried that the waitress Yun might get fired.

"Oh hey, start now and I'm short of waitresses. Finally, someone will replace that damned Sandra." The manager complained to me. Even though I feel bad that someone got fired because of me, I'm happy that I have a job.

"I'm Diana by the way---" I was interrupted when I introduced myself when a man in a suit entered and approached the manager.

I moved away to give them privacy. I looked at a door when Sandra came out, no longer dressed as a waitress.

"Are you Diana Moone?" I immediately turned to the manager when he mentioned my name.

"Yes" I answered him in surprise. How did he know my name? I frowned when he looked at me evilly and raised an eyebrow.

"I don't need a waitress anymore." He said.

"You can leave my restaurant now." He will push me away.

I looked at him confused. How did he know my name and why is he sending me away as if I did something bad? I looked up at the man the manager was talking to earlier and I caught him looking at me while he was on a call on his cell phone and had already left the restaurant.

"Hey, I don't want to work here! The wages are so low, the customers don't like it yet!" Sandra heard that I was with the students earlier and walked out of the restaurant.

"That's rude!" The manager said angrily and gave me a bad look.

I took a deep breath and packed my bags and left the restaurant.

Why am I unlucky today? I took a deep breath again and held my stomach when Yun rang.

I'm hungry. I thought of looking for a cafeteria to eat first and look for a job that I can go to and if I'm really unlucky now, I'll just look for a permanent job.

My eyes sparkled when I finally saw a restaurant.

I immediately sat down and ordered something to eat.

While I was eating abundantly, I was surprised when someone sat next to me.

"Are you looking for a job?" Said Sandra, the waitress earlier. I stopped eating and nodded at him.

someone's POV

"Boss, ma'am Diana is at the un bar now and will be applying for a job." My staff said that I am following Diana.

I laughed weakly and grinned because of his news.

You're that low now Diana?

"Shall I tell you not to accept ma'am Diana, Sir?" It's a polite question.

I just laughed and drank the wine I was holding.

"No."

'This is my chance to welcome Diana back.' I said in my mind and grinned.

Diana's POV

I was sitting nervously in front of the mirror while Sandra fixed me.

"Don't be nervous Diana. It's just talk." he said when he noticed that I was pale.

I just looked at him.

I know it's not just about work.

He took a deep breath and gave me a small smile.

"Yes, it's not just about the others here. But don't worry, I'll tell my boss to put you in Hindi manyak." He said and smiled at me.

I nodded even though I was still nervous. He made me stand up to see my whole body.

"You are beautiful Diana for a goddess." It's amazing He told me. I just smiled at him because of his praise.

Sandra is also beautiful because she is more beautiful without her thick make up and not wearing all black.

"It's a long line!" Scream of gay make up artist.

"I'll tell my boss." Sandra said. I nodded and got in line.

While I was walking to line up, I heard a lot from my companions.

Based on what I heard, I was loved and dressed better than them, but I just ignored it and didn't understand their bad looks.

I stood next to a newbie like me and was also wearing a lovely and beautiful dress. I was amazed at how beautiful she was.

I smiled a little when he snorted and cringed at what we heard from our companions.

"Don't take them for granted" I said to him and he smiled as he turned to me.

"I'm Diana by the way." I introduced him and extended my hand to him. He reached out for my hand and smiled at me.

"I'm Celine."

"How old are you Celine? You look like a child." I asked her because she looks like a doll.

"I'm only 16." I looked at him full of shock and worry.

"-what are you doing here?" I asked him worriedly. I will warn him. I hope he doesn't go on. The Chinese manager of ours will call me.

"Diana, you already have a customer." Happy The manager told me.

I hesitated to follow him and looked worriedly at Celine. When we were inside the elevator, I was restless with worry.

"Mr. Go, please don't involve Celine in this." I'm begging him. I was about to say more when the elevator door opened and all I heard was a grunt.

My eyes widen at what I see and hear. I want to run in fear.

But I suddenly thought of our land and my son. I got out of the elevator crying and my knees aching.

"Diana are you okay?" Sandra asked me worriedly. I can't answer because of what I see. It's like we're in a hospital where the beds are one after the other and each bed is covered with a white curtain.

"Don't worry. You're not there. You'll be taken to another room. Where the customer really just wants to talk, hmm?" He said while comforting me.

"Celine too please? Let's help her. -just talk to her please." I cried I told him.

"Diana Mone." said Mr. Go to the man behind the table near the elevator.
