Missing My wedding

A New Life

Three months had passed since Natasha's world came crashing down. The memories of that fateful day still lingered, a constant reminder of the shame and humiliation she had endured. Standing alone at the altar, surrounded by the curious gazes of their friends and family, had been a soul-crushing experience. The pain of Leonard's betrayal still seared her heart, refusing to be extinguished by the passage of time. The bile in her stomach continued to growl whenever she thought of him, a bitter reminder of the love she had lost. In an attempt to escape the painful memories, Natasha had shut herself off from her family and everyone dear to her. She couldn't bear their pity and concern, their constant questions about what had happened. So she had made the bold decision to start anew, to leave behind everything that reminded her of Leonard. She had sold off all her possessions, changed her name, and moved to a new town, Baguio, nestled in the mountains of northern Luzon. The cool climate and breathtaking scenery were a balm to her battered soul, offering her a chance to heal and rediscover herself.

Natasha's father, Major Eduardo Reyes, was a rich and influential man, with a reputation that commanded respect. But Natasha didn't want to ride on his coattails anymore. She wanted to know what it was like to be poor, to struggle to earn her keep. Maybe then she would know that the men who came into her life truly loved her for who she was, and not just for her status. With a newfound sense of determination, Natasha had applied for a job at a small company in Baguio. It was there that she met Mr. Alexander, the owner of the company. He was a kind and gentle soul, with a warm smile and genuine interest in getting to know her. For the first time in months, Natasha felt a spark of hope, a sense that maybe, just maybe, she could learn to love again. Two days earlier when she had walked into the office building, her heart racing with anticipation. She had applied for a job at Alexander's company, a small but reputable firm in Baguio. As she stepped into the reception area, she was greeted by a friendly secretary who ushered her into the office of the CEO.

Alexander stood up from behind his desk, his tall frame towering over Natasha. He was even more imposing than she had expected, with broad shoulders and piercing blue eyes that seemed to bore into her soul. His dark hair was flecked with gray, giving him a distinguished air that commanded respect. "Ah, Natasha," he said, his deep voice sending shivers down her spine. "Welcome to our company. Please, have a seat." Natasha sat down, trying to compose herself as Alexander walked around his desk to sit beside her. He was even more captivating up close, his strong jawline and chiseled features making her feel like a schoolgirl with a crush. "So, Natasha," Alexander said, his eyes scanning her resume. "Tell me, what makes you think you're the right fit for our company?" Natasha launched into a confident speech about her skills and experience, but she couldn't help sneaking glances at Alexander. He listened intently, his eyes never leaving hers, and Natasha felt a sense of excitement building inside her.

Alexander's powerful, commanding aura drew Natasha in as they conversed. He was a self-assured man who did not hesitate to assume leadership roles. The realization that she was drawn to him as a man and not just as a boss sent a jolt through Natasha.

Too soon the interview was over, and Alexander got up to take Natasha from his office. As they walked, he placed a hand on the small of her back, his touch sending shivers down her spine.

"Thank you for coming in today, Natasha," he said, his voice low and husky. "I'll be in touch soon."

Natasha nodded, feeling a sense of excitement building inside her. She knew that she wanted to work for Alexander, not just because of the job, but because of the man himself.
