His Temptation [COMPLETED]

24

AFTER 7 YEARS.....

I'm having my press conference right now for my big project. I have a new business which I'm about to start. I'm planning to start my own winery with my name on it. But I'm still searching for a land that I can buy.

"Mr. Cohen, is it true that you were the one who built and designed your own manufacturing company for Industrial tools? It's also highest and largest company you have all over the world."

I smiled at the reported.

"Yes. I was the one who designed and built my own building." I said.

"Why did you started to get interested to have your own company that supplies Industrial Tools?"

"Well, I want to build something that lasts. In order to do that, I must have a strong foundation for it. Something that won't easily get destroyed." I said with a serious tone.

"What if it didn't last like how it supposed to?"

I stop for a moment when I heard that question. I was only thinking of one person. That's Amanda.

It's been seven years. I still have no trace where she is. I don't have any news or updates about her.

I took a deep breath and went closer to my mic.

"Then I must be doing something wrong." I said.

My secretary assisted me to stand up since I'm going to be late for my other business meeting about my winery. I want to find the best land I could buy.

"Happy Birthday." Nakangiti kong sabi. Inilapag ko yung blueberry cheesecake sa tapat niya at sinindihan yung candle na '32'.

"Thank you Amanda."

Lumapit sakin si Guzman at niyakap ako ng mahigpit.

"You should make a wish." Sabi ko.

"You know that I always wish the same thing over and over again."

Natanggal yung ngiti ko sa labi dahil sa sinabi ni Guzman.

"Guzman----"

"It's okay. Don't mind me. I just be thankful that you're here with me." Pagputol nito sa sinabi ko. Lumapit siya sa cake niya at inihipan ito.

It's been seven years. I've been staying with Guzman here in the countryside. He sacrificed a lot for me.

Guzman goes on a business trip twice or trice a month to check all his restaurants. He even sold some of his restaurant so we could purchase a mansion here at the countryside the moment we got here.

Whenever Guzman is out of the country, I stay here at our mansion. His mother died after two years when we got here. She was suffering from depression because of her husband's death.
