Chapter 53: "What the hell are you talking about Stephen?!"
Liza was caught with the seriousness of Stephen's tone, she was not contemplating if she was to confess how she actually felt for Ken, slowly she said "Yes, I like Director Lim." Stephen can't help but breath a sigh of both relief and worry, he wants his sister to be happy as well but he still don't fully trust this Director, but on the other hand if the Director was to be interested in his sister instead of Marga, then that would lessen his worries too.
Lost in his own train of thought, Stephen did not notice the way Liza was looking at him, she seemed to understand what her brother was thinking. "So does this mean that you will help me too brother?"Liza can't help but ask. He stared at Liza's determined face for a very long time before he finally said "Yes", hearing her brother saying that made Liza happy but at the same time worried, how is her brother going to help her with Director Lim, she hoped that he would do a good job and not scare the poor man instead.
With the agreement on hand, both siblings went to the study, as they were nearing the door, they can hear Marga's laughter clearly, Stephen can't help but raise his eyebrows and pushed the door open. Marga was laughing at what the Director was saying and he was also beaming at her at the same time, ahm, didn't they notice that the door is opened and the boyfriend, I mean fiance and sister are now standing inside the same space. Stephen giving in to his jealousy cleared his throat loudly, "Ahem, I'm sorry to interrupt this lively conversation, but Marga can I talk to you for a second?" he blurted out and turned around to step out from the study, leaving Marga, Liza and Ken all startled by his hostility.
"I better see what he wants, excuse me for a bit Ken. You and Liza can talk first, maybe you can ask her about the modeling stuff or something." Marga hurriedly stood up and followed Stephen's footprints. She caught up with him before he got to their room and hugged him from the back, "what's wrong honey? are you angry about something?" Marga sweetly said.
He turned around and placed his hands on Marga's shoulders, "I am not angry, I just have something important to tell you." then he led Marga inside their room. The moment the door closed, Marga was then pushed to the door and kissed passionately by Stephen, her lips were bitten in the process and she started to struggle, Stephen has not kissed her this intensely other than if something is bothering him, something might really be worrying him at this moment, so she just let him and responded with the same passion. The kiss lasted for a long time until she felt her lips were sucked numb, and both were heaving at the same time did the kiss only stopped.
"Can you tell me what's gotten into you? Is there a problem?" Marga caressed the man's face and kissed his chin. "There is something that you are not telling me Honey, just spit it out so that you will not be burdened too, I hate to see you like this." Stephen was at a lost for words, yet the only person that know him best is Marga, this girl can really tell every time something is bothering him, it seems that he can no longer hide the truth from her.
"Marga, I need you to listen very well to what I am about to tell you. Yes there has been something I have been hiding from you for a few years now." Stephen started with a serious tone, " Aunt Fatima, she is in fact very ill, and she may not have many more days ahead." The moment Stephen mentioned Fatima, tears started flowing from her eyes, and heart was suddenly tightening, she can't help but place one hand on her chest, "What the hell are you talking about Stephen?! Didn't you say she is doing good with her medications?" Marga yelled angrily at him, was he lying to all of them, she can't believe him, how can he lie about Sister Fatima's health, he knows that she is her only family, how could he do this to her.
