Insanely To Own You

Chapter 1

The experienced gentleman peered at her with a hint of concern in his eyes. "Are you absolutely certain about this, my lady?" he inquired, his voice laced with a touch of skepticism. 

"Shall we be returning to the enchanting shores of the Philippines?" inquired the butler again, his countenance a picture of earnestness, as he addressed his young mistress.

For countless years, the butler had faithfully served as the unwavering pillar of support for the girl's family, offering solace and understanding when no one else could. He was the sole individual who truly comprehended her, the one who possessed an intimate knowledge of her innermost thoughts and desires.

The astute butler was acutely aware of the young girl's vehement reluctance to return to that place, for she harbored no lingering attachment to it.

"Indeed, I am," the young woman nonchalantly retorted to the elderly gentleman, her gaze fixated upon the world beyond the confines of her office window.

However, the butler found himself interrupted by the young lady, who, with an air of impatience, refused to allow her Butler to conclude his sentence.

With an air of unwavering authority, she declared, "No more butts!" Her words hung in the air, commanding attention. Her assertiveness astounded the butler, who could only nod in agreement.

The girl harbored an unwavering determination, one that refused to yield to any form of contradiction, particularly when it came to matters of utmost importance. The guardian of the young girl let out a weary sigh, his understanding of her predicament evident in his expression.

With a gentle smile, he regarded the young lady before him. "If that is truly your desire," he spoke softly, his voice carrying a hint of understanding, "then I shall acquiesce." With a graceful bow, he uttered, "Fear not, for I shall attend to your papers."

He was about to leave when he spoke again. "Ahmm, Young Lady, there is Miss—" The tranquil ambiance of the young lady's office was abruptly shattered as an uninvited guest made an unexpected entrance, rudely interrupting the diligent butler in the midst of his duties.

"Waah! MM, are you returning to the Philippines? I implore you; allow me to accompany you," pleaded the girl's friend, who brazenly entered the premises without the courtesy of a knock.

The young girl couldn't help but emit a derisive snort in response to her best friend's desperate pleas. With a mischievous glimmer in his eyes, the butler let out a hearty laugh, escaping his lips. His amusement was directed towards none other than the cherished companion of his young lady, a scene that unfolded with a touch of irony.

"Is that how you please people by being rude?" The young woman arched her delicate eyebrows in surprise as her dear friend breezed into her private room, heedless of the customary courtesy of a gentle tap on the door.

As the girl's gaze fell on her friend, a mischievous smile tugged at the corners of her lips. In a sudden burst of amusement, her friend emitted a playful snort, causing the air to be filled with a delightful melody of laughter.

 Wendy Jane Endrina, her vivacious best friend, possessed a captivating blend of cultural heritage. With her strikingly unique lineage, she embodied a mesmerizing fusion of Filipino and American roots. Wendy Jane's infectious energy and zest for life were only matched by her endearing eccentricity, which seemed to be an integral part of her very being. 

At the tender age of sixteen, she possessed a demeanor that belied her years, as she seemed to exhibit the innocence and playfulness more commonly associated with a mere twelve-year-old.

"And as if I'll let you, how about your brother?" The girl asked her friend, who was not looking at her friend because she was always signing the documents on her table.
