LOGINDays turned into weeks since the incident at the mall, Audrey avoided Rex like a plague. She comes to work before anyone else to start the day's job and leaves when every other person leaves.Rex knew that if she continued like this, he wouldn’t be able to find out what secret she’s hiding. He knows Audrey's level of determination and toughness, he has come to understand how she thinks but he also understands that she’s a woman and women are complicated.“I need you to do a quick favor for me.” Rex says on the phone as he watches Audrey clock off work from his office window. “What does the almighty conglomerate of our city want this time!?” The anonymous person on the gender end of the phone says.“I want complete details of a person.” Rex says into the phone, his eyes filled with determination to find out what Audrey is hiding.“And who is the person? A rival?” “Audrey Hidalgo.” Came Rex’s short response that the person on the other end kept mute. “I need every detail to be forwar
The loud noises of people around became nothing but muffled as Audrey’s each and every word echoed vibrantly in Rex's head. He couldn’t focus on the work at hand, his entire being was trapped in each sentence.It was a question; one that he really hoped for the answer to be positive. Earlier, he had gone to get presents for Audrey because she was finally giving him face and gradually coming to accept him. Who would have thought that a question would come to ruin everything?‘God damnit.’ Rex cussed, landing a heavy blow on the wall, making it dense. His whole body shook like an erupting volcano, even his body and soul felt the pain and stress. Rex remembered how Zoey’s eyes lit up when he saw her take off his mask. It was as if she had been waiting for a very long time for the day she’d meet someone she cherishes a lot.That feeling, words aren’t enough to describe it.It was like seeing light at the end of the tunnel, sudden peace and warmth enveloping him. In Zoey’s eyes, he saw
The whole mall was scattered with people, both big and small and coincidentally, most were wearing the same pattern of clothes that it was hard to tell who was who.“My babies.” She says incoherently, holding her chest that was about to explode when something in her told her to return to where she got the last item and that was when she saw Zach and Zoey being cornered by children of their age but bigger.She had only left them for a while and they were bullied. What would happen if she missed them?She was still running around helplessly when she saw the twins in the midst of an adult. Why does his back look familiar?Audrey’s heart sank deeper when she saw it was her boss and the father of her kids! What was Rex doing in the mall? Did he trace her movements? What does he want?All these questions triggered Audrey and she gritted her teeth in annoyance.“Zach, Zoey..” her deep voice called out, obviously suppressing her anger.How dare he trace her here and want to steal her babies f
By morning, Audrey decides to go out with the kids since it’s a work free day. She has always wanted to go out with the kids on many occasions but she feared someone might see them. Regardless, she still took them out to have fun and even to breathe in fresh air.“Alright babies, we’re here.” Audrey informs Zach and Zoey as soon as they get to the mall.They squirmed in their positions in joy and couldn’t wait to get down when Audrey pulled them back into the car. Her warning eyes said a lot about her worries. She’s bothered that someone who knows her might as well know her kids.Since the birth of them both, Audrey had played it safe. Unlike her mates, she locked herself indoors and even trained her kids indoors and wouldn’t let them play roughly, the same reason as to why she enrolled them in a far off kindergarten.Audrey sighed. Her kids are grown and it's high time they see the world outside and what it is like. She holds both Zoey and Zach by the hand tightly, squeezing it gentl
Soon, it was the close of work after a long and dramatic day for Audrey. Without delaying for another minute, Audrey wrapped up everything she was doing, picked up her bag and left the office. She didn’t bother to wait for Rex after everything that happened with Diane and his grandmother. Audrey couldn’t tell if she’s happy or not about the whole episode and to cool off, she headed straight to the kindergarten to pick up her children. Zoey and Zach were happy to see her and won’t stop talking about how their day went, even Audrey forgot how hers went because her children were so busy talking about theirs. They got home soon enough and Audrey went to make something for them to eat. “Pancakes will do the trick mommy.” Zoey winked at her mother before running to the room to shower. Audrey laughed. “Preparing pancakes is a whole lot of work mommy. Just make toast and scrambled eggs. I’ll go talk some sense into Zoey. She’s being a baby.” Zach protested, portraying to be gentlemanly.
Was her grandson in love with this cheap woman?He even warned her indirectly.It was something Rex has never done before. He hated to be concerned about another person but here he was, defending her.If only he was directing this affection towards Diane. Still, she wasn't going to let Rex have his way. Judging from the interaction, it was likely a fling on Rex's side.“Since you cannot answer any of the questions I asked, then I leave it to the fact that she’s just a play thing. I’ll arrange for both you and Diane’s wedding in three months. If you cannot show me by then what you’re capable of with this woman, you’re getting married.” Grandma Clarissa said, her tone final.She had set up the challenge and has given both Rex, Audrey and Diane a fifty-fifty chance. She wasn't eager to ruin her grandson's love life, neither would she allow him to lose having love in his life.Even if it meant accepting this woman.Audrey wa
Grandma Clarissa took another look at the woman who had her grandson wrapped under her arms. No doubt she was beautiful but it was also evident that she was a vixen. How dare such a nobody seduce her grandson?“I see this is the person you came to choose finally or is she just a fling?”
“Come here,” Rex called Audrey into his embrace, it was becoming a habit and a way of showing his obsession. “W..what a..are you doing? We’re in the office.” Audrey’s cheek blushed pink. She has seen all shades of shameless but Rex before her, masters all. Rex chuckl
Audrey had also woken up early from a dream that had her all smiles. She hummed all throughout the ride, taking her twins to their kindergarten school and promising to pick them afterwards.In that dream, Rex proposed to her in the most romantic way that one could imagine and although it
There were many options for him. Passing by bars and hotels, it was the best place to go and cool off but Rex knew his grandmother. She would get people to drag him back home. That was why he decided to go to the company.On getting to the company, the whole place was dead silence excep
