A Little More than Strangers Chapter 14
As Via waited for Cassie at the café, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief washed over her. It was comforting to know that she wasn't alone in this, that she had someone she could rely on, no matter what.As she sat there, trying to enjoy a cup of fruit tea, her mind raced with a thousand different thoughts and emotions. How did her life turn into a chaotic mess in just weeks? How would she deal with all the changes that happened so suddenly in her life?She was drowning in her worries when she was reminded that she had never been truly alone, no matter what. There was always one person who stayed beside her in all seasons of her life. She needed her best friend now more than ever.She smiled when she remembered how she met Cassie. It was during one of those parties that her Dad had thrown for Collin, and the children of their business partners were all invited. She was sitting alone in a corner, sulking because the attention of her one and only brother wasn't hers on that day.

The morning sunlight streamed through the windows of the dining room as Via took her seat at the breakfast table, her heart pounding in her chest. Today was the day she had decided to tell her father and brother the truth about her pregnancy, no matter how daunting the task seemed.Collin flashed her a warm smile from across the table, unaware of the storm brewing within Via. "Morning, Vi. You look a little pale. Are you feeling alright?"Via forced a smile, hoping to appear composed despite the waves of emotions churning inside her. "I'm fine, Collin. Just a little tired, that's all."Her father glanced up from his newspaper; his cold gaze landed upon her. "You should eat something. You look like you haven't slept a wink."Before Via could respond, a wave of nausea washed over her, her stomach churning uncomfortably. She placed a hand over her mouth, willing herself to keep her composure as she fought back the urge to vomit.Collin's eyes widened in concern as he leaned forward, his v

Right after their conversation, Via booked an immediate flight to the US, and Cassie insisted that she would drop her off at the airport. She went along with her request since it would be long before they could meet each other again.“You really need to update me all the time, okay?” Cassie reminded her one last time.“Yes, I will. I will keep in touch and I will expect you to come before I give birth so that you can be with me during the childbirth,” Via chuckled.“Of course, that’s a given! I would be your child’s godmother!”Via checked the time before she hugged Cassie one more time. “I’ll see you soon, Cassie. I’ll miss you.”“Me too, Vi. I’m worried but I can trust you, right? It’s gonna be really hard if you suddenly call me and I can’t come to you right at that moment.”“Don’t worry, your voice will be enough to keep me away from loneliness over there.”“Take care.” Cassie wiped the tears from her eyes as she bid her best friend goodbye. She was leaving so suddenly that she did

Collin stood outside Cassie’s house, the weight of her words heavy on his heart. He knew she was right. He should have done more to support Via and to understand what she was going through. But now, all he could think about was finding his sister and making things right.Taking a deep breath, he knocked on Cassie’s door once again, hoping she would forgive him for his past mistakes. After a moment, Cassie opened the door, her expression softened but still guarded.“Cassie, please,” Collin pleaded, his voice laced with urgency. “I need your help to find Via. I can’t let her go off on her own like this. She’s my sister, and I need to make sure she’s safe.”“I told you, I won’t tell you anything. Go and worry about Via for all I care.” Cassie’s tone was stern. “Now leave before I call for the guards.”Collin sighed in surrender. His steps were heavy as he walked towards his car. If Cassie would not cooperate, how would he know Via’s whereabouts?“I’ve been waiting for you.” Troye looked a

“Mommy!” A five-year-old little girl ran towards Via as soon as she stepped out of her car. She carried the child and kissed her cheeks before she turned to the five-year-old boy who was slowly walking towards her.“You don’t have to run to greet mommy, Jaydee.” The boy rolled her eyes before he held Via’s hand.“Did you both have fun today?” Via asked the twins as they walked towards the car.“Yes!” Jaydee answered.The boy, Kaydee, shook his head. “It’s not as fun as when we are with you, Mommy.”Via laughed at her son’s response. Even though she could only spend a limited time with her children, she was relieved that she was able to raise them well.Almost six years had passed since she went to the US and she had lived well since then. The beginning was a little hard since she had to adjust to everything but it got better as she got accustomed to the environment. Her neighbors were also nice towards her even though she was a single mom raising her energetic twins.“Coleen!” Amy, on

As Cassie's words sank in, Via found herself torn between the comfort and stability she had built in the US and the longing for connection with her family back in the Philippines. While she had found a sense of belonging in her new home, she couldn't deny the pull of her roots and the desire for her children to know their extended family.After a moment of contemplation, Via sighed and nodded slowly. "Okay, Cassie. Let's go home."With a mixture of excitement and apprehension, Via began to pack up their belongings, knowing that their lives were about to change once again. As she tucked away their memories from the US, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness at leaving behind the life they had built there.But as she looked at her children playing in the playroom, she knew that ultimately, their happiness and well-being mattered most. And if returning to the Philippines meant giving them a chance to grow up surrounded by family and love, then it was a sacrifice she was willing t

Despite the challenges they had faced, they were finally home.As she watched her children laugh and play, Via felt a sense of gratitude wash over her.

Via stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her blouse and smoothing down her hair. Today was the day of her first job interview since returning to the Philippines, and she couldn't help but feel a mixture of nerves and excitement fluttering in her stomach.Taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, Via glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost time to leave, but before she could head out, there was one more thing she needed to do."Jaydee, Kaydee, come here please!" Via called out, her voice echoing through the house.Within moments, her twins came running into the room, their faces bright with excitement. "Yes, Mommy?"Via smiled at her children, feeling a swell of love in her chest. "Mommy has to go out for a little while, but Aunt Cassie and Uncle Collin will be here to take care of you, okay?"Jaydee and Kaydee exchanged a glance, their brows furrowed in confusion.
