Chapter: Chapter 016-Vaughn-“You said she’s as nice as Sister Bianca.” kumurap-kurap na naman ang mga mata ni Justin na parang naiiyak, and I really felt sorry for him. I don’t know what happened to Beatrice. Hindi ganun ang pagkakakilala ko sa kanya. She shouldn’t have done that in front of the kid. Kahit man lang sana pakitang-tao na mabait siya, para hindi masaktan ‘yung bata, pero bigla na lang itong nagwalk-out.“I’m sorry, Justin. Pagod lang si mommy Beatrice, at saka nabigla lang siya. Please try to understand her. She’s really nice, especially kapag nakasama mo na siya.” I told him as I placed him in the backseat of the car. “We’re going to Jollibee now!” Pagkarinig sa favorite restaurant nito ay bigla ulit sumaya ang kanyang awra na gustong-gusto kong makita. Nakakawala ng pagod at stress ang mga ngiti ng batang ito, and whenever he was sad, I was feeling the same way. Kaya hangga’t maaari ay ayaw ko siyang nakikitang malungkot.I strapped him with the seatbelt, bago ako umikot at pumuwesto s

Chapter: Chapter 015-Vaugh-Dumating kami sa office ni Beatrice, but just as I was about to knock on the door, Ivy, her personal assistant, stopped me.“Sir, may meeting po si ma’am Beatrice with an important client. Okay lang po ba sa inyo maghintay?” she asked as she motioned for us to sit in the waiting area.“Oh, sure!” I replied with a smile before I walked towards the couch with Justin holding my hand.“Mabait po ba si mommy Beatrice?” tanong ni Justin pagkaupo niya sa tabi ko. “Pareho po ba silang mabait ni Sister Bianca?”Sister Bianca again.“Yes, of course.” sagot ko sabay gulo sa buhok niya, and he giggled. “Where do you want to eat later? Alam ko gutom ka na.”“Uhmmm…” nag-isip muna ito, and then he yelled, “Jollibee!”Kids' favorite restaurant. Of course I know that.“Sure, baby!” I told him, nang biglang bumukas ang pinto ng office ni Beatrice.I heard Beatrice giggling, and I didn’t like the sound of it. It’s kinda flirty.Tumayo ako mula sa pagkakaupo sa couch at nakapamewang na humarap s

Gusto ko siyang maging mommy.” Justin blinked a few times, at pilit pinipigilan ang pag-iyak. “Hindi niya alam na umalis ako sa orphanage. Baka hinahanap niya na ako, daddy Vaughn. I miss her so much.”Nagulat ako sa pagtawag niya sa akin ng daddy Vaughn, pero mas nagulat ako nang pumaikot ang mga braso niya sa leeg ko at saka isiniksik ang mukha bago umatungal ng umiyak. “Ssshhh… Its okay, baby.” I whispered in his ear. “It’s okay. Magkakaroon ka naman ng bagong mommy. Do you want to meet her?”Justin shook his head. “I only want Sister Bianca.” sabi nito at mas lalo pang humigpit ang yakap sa akin.“But she can’t be your mommy.” biglang singit ni daddy. “Hindi pwedeng magkaroon ng anak ang mga sisters dahil nanumpa sila na maglilingkod sa Diyos habang-buhay.”Bigla namang tumahimik si Justin, at pahikbi-hikbi na lang ito.“Don’t worry.

Isang batang lalaki ang pumasok sa loob ng aking office, at napatayo ako sa aking kinauupuan.I can’t believe what I was seeing. Parang akong nakatingin sa aking sarili noong bata pa ako. Ang I have this strange feeling na parang kumurot sa puso ko nang magtama ang mga paningin namin. I felt like I instantly fell in love with this kid, and I don’t understand how. Dahil nga siguro kamukha ko siya noong bata pa ako.“Who is this kid?” mahinang tanong ko habang nakatitig pa rin sa bata na nakayuko na at parang kakatapos lang umiyak dahil mugto pa ang mga mata nito. “What’s his name?”“He’s Justin!” masayang saad ni dad. “Siya ang batang sinasabi ko sa’yo.

Nakatingin ako sa isang maliit na apartment sa Tondo, at I still can’t believe na dito nakatira ang babaeng nakaniig ko bago ang kasal ko.Sobrang laki siguro magtip ng mga customer nito kaya nakakabili ito ng mga mamahaling bagay katulad ng bvlgari perfume at diamond necklace.Speaking of the necklace, kaninang umaga ko pa hinahanap pero hindi ko ito makita. Ang alam ko isinuksok ko ito sa bulsa ng suit ko, pero wala na ito doon pagkakuha ko sa kuwarto ni Beatrice kaninang umaga. I asked her about it, and she said wala naman daw siyang nakita.“Huy ang ganda ng kotse!” isang batang lalaki ang gumalaw sa side mirror ko, at “napa-shit!” na lang ako nang makitang puro putik ang kamay nito.“Normal na dito ang ganyan.” natatawang sabi ni Harvey sabay saway sa bata. “Bata, alis diyan!

Ang bilis naman.”“Shut up!” I groaned, slumping down on the couch with the box on my lap. Alam ng mga kaibigan ko na ang kasal namin ni Beatrice was just an arranged marriage. “May itatanong lang ako sa’yo, and I want an honest answer.”“Of course! Kailan ba ako nagsinungaling sa’yo?” sabi nito. “What do you want to ask?”"You mentioned that the woman you set up for me last night is an expert in bed?" I asked while staring at the necklace in my hand.“Oo naman! Kukuha ba kami ng walang kuwenta at walang alam, ikaw talaga!” at tumawa pa ito ng malakas na lalo kong ikinainis. “Subok na ‘yun, bro.

But then she revealed, "I love Nathan, and I messed up. I was at my lowest back then, and I couldn't handle the fact that he wasn't there for me. My heart has always been with him. He's the one I want to spend my life with. He's the one I want to marry. Please, Drake!" she gasped. "You need to forget everything about us."Trish was studying in Spain, and I had no clue that Drake had also enrolled there just to be near her."No, you don't mean that." Drake's voice was filled with pain, and it was hard for Landon to listen to it. "I chose to study in Spain too because I cared about you. I did what Nathan couldn't. And now you're saying you just used me? That you could run to me when you needed support and then go back to your boyfriend like it was nothing?" Drake yelled, his voice booming enough to startle Landon.Both of them turned to Landon

I had no clue how she figured out that this building belonged to me.As I looked at her smiling face, all I could think about was how much I adored that beautiful smile of hers before.I quickly stepped back from the hug and returned her smile, though it was tinged with bitterness. "What brings you here, Trish?" I asked, noticing Nicole getting up from her seat to stand next to me. "Oh, and this is Nicole, by the way, my wife."Trish narrowed her eyes as she scanned Nicole. "This is... your wife?" she questioned, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Seriously, Nathan? You married someone like her? How come I didn't know you were already married?"I just shrugged, not wanting to dive into my personal life. "Can I ask why you're here?""I just found out you're the CEO of Maxwell Group.

No, stop!" she cried out, and I rose from my seat, approaching her and quickly wrapping my arms around her in a tight embrace. She squirmed and fought against me, her face twisted in sheer terror and despair."Nicole! Hey, look at me!" I exclaimed, gripping her shoulders to prevent her from hurting herself. "It’s okay. You’re safe now. Ssshhh… it’s alright, baby.""He's here! He's here with me!" she yelled. "He hurt me! He will hurt me again!" Panic and fear flooded her eyes as she continued to thrash about, still haunted by the events of the previous night.I clenched my jaw, feeling helpless as I struggled to calm her down. Her screams echoed in the room, and I had to let go of her shoulders as she clawed at my arms."Nathan," she whimpered, finally pausing her frantic movements.I let out a sigh and gently guided her to t

I heard him chatting with Andrew before he finally took me outside and settled me into the passenger seat of his car.When we arrived at his house, he quickly led me to his room and lay down next to me. "I'm sorry," he whispered softly, almost as if he were speaking to himself, probably thinking I was already asleep. "I shouldn’t have left you earlier."There was a tremor in his voice that revealed his regret, as if he wished he could rewind time to prevent that sick bastard from hurting me and trying to assault me.Then, he pressed a gentle kiss on my lips, and I nestled closer, burying my face in his chest.I’m home. Finally home.*********When I opened my eyes, the sun was up. Morning had arrived. It felt strange that I managed to sleep after everything that happened yesterday.

Just thinking about it sent chills down my spine, and I started sobbing again.Andrew was driving me to Nathan's place, but I told him I didn’t want to go home, so he took me to his place instead. As soon as we arrived, Winter dashed over, instantly recognizing me and jumping up to lick my face."Winter, not tonight, please..." Andrew said, and it was like the dog understood him. She bounded away and flopped onto the couch, watching us quietly as we walked past the living room and into the hallway through the rooms.Andrew gently led me to one of the guest rooms, being careful not to touch me too much since I was still in shock.He seemed to think that even the slightest contact might shatter me. I had my arms wrapped around myself, doing my best to stay upright."I... I need to clean up," I said, desperate to wash away any trace of that monster’s touch. I would have taken ten

As I gazed through the glass window, I noticed a woman on the pavement across the street who bore a striking resemblance to my ex-wife.
