"I'm his brother. I'll take care of explaining it to him," said Liam to my bodyguard. I shook my head because Cristiano might be even more angry with me, but I don't want to be locked up inside the house, and I have the right to go out. "I will be reprimanded, sir. I might even lose my job," he replied to Liam. "I will take care of you. I will also call Cristiano to say that I am with his wife. He has confidence in me," Liam continued insisting. We also talked to my bodyguard for a few minutes until we convinced him, and I was able to go out. "Why doesn't Cristiano let you out of the house?" Liam asked me. I couldn't speak right away because even I didn't know why he didn't want to let me go. I just thought of another reason to answer Liam's question. "Ah, he just wants me to rest. He doesn't want me to leave first so that I don't get tired," I said as an excuse. "Don't worry. I'll take care of talking to him later," he said. I nodded because I don't care if Cristiano gets ma
"Why are you returning the words that should be yours to me? You're the one who's cheating here and not me!" I added to him. He is really the one who is cheating on both of us, not me. He returned to his ex; he was seeing her secretly. Francine's husband and I are being cheated on. "So, you're recovering? You're doing this to shame me?! Your face is thick! I only married you because I was shocked and because of the child you're carrying! I agree to marry a girl, but nothing like you!" he continued. I wiped my tears and shook my head at what he was saying. There is no truth in that because cheating is something I can never do because I know how it feels. "I'm not taking it back. I'm not fooling you-" "Stop lying!" he shouted because I stopped talking. "You know Liam likes you; that's why you're going out with him! I wish you'd just marry him! You were a bit shy at first, but you like him too!" he said to me one after the other. I almost caught my breath from crying there. I shoo
No one can say how much pain I feel right now. I just lost my child, and that's because Cristiano hurt me. I blame myself because if I hadn't fought him, I hope it wouldn't have happened. If only I had stayed in that room and made him hurt me. I was just stupid while sitting in the hospital bed. I've been crying there for a while now, and occasionally I'll stop when I get tired. I can't accept what happened. I can't accept that the child I was waiting for disappeared in an instant. I have never even touched her or seen her, and I will never see her as a woman with me. "Eat this so you can get some strength. I called Sabrina," said Cristiano. He never left my side, even though I pushed him away several times. I cried even more because I remembered our parents and siblings, who were very anxious for the arrival of my future child, but that will never happen. I have no appetite at all. I don't want to see Cristiano because I just remembered falling down the stairs. I'm afraid that he
[After Flashback: Continuation of Chapter 8] *** "I-I'm so sorry to hear that, Lily. If only I knew what you went through," Liam told me. I wiped my tears and immediately drank the wine in front of me. I never thought that in a few years I would cry again. That made it very difficult for me to move on. After I asked Sabrina to help me take me to another country without anyone knowing, I started to forget everything that happened, but I still can't help but remember it sometimes. "What Cristiano did to you was wrong, but have you forgiven him yet? Are you ready to face him again?" Liam asked me. I laughed and shook my head because I could really face Cristiano. I really feel a little scared because I don't know how we will both react when we meet again. The only thing I want right now is to divorce our marriage, which is why I can't help but get angry every time he just throws away the papers I send him. Liam and I had a good conversation because I was able to explain to him eve
"We've been separated for a long time since our baby was lost. So, why don't you want to let me go?" I asked him. There was a tear in the corner of my eye, but I immediately looked up to stop the tears from flowing. I told myself that I would never cry in front of him again. "I-I don't want us to separate. Forgive me, Lily. I will accept everything; just don't divorce me," he answered me, and his hug tightened even more. I got out of his arms to get him away from hugging me, but he was too strong for me. "Leave me alone," I told him. I felt him take a deep breath before he completely separated me from the embrace, but my eyes widened at what he did next. "W-What are you doing?" I stammered to him. I looked around us, and I was very thankful because there was no one there. He knelt down and held my hand. "Don't leave me. Please." His voice broke as he reached for my hands to hold them. I had to bend down to look at him and straighten him up from kneeling, but he didn't move, j
In the moments that I wait for Cristiano's arrival, I fight against my sleepiness and fatigue. I haven't had much of a break yet because that was also the day I returned home from America. My nervousness and fear prevailed so much that no matter how heavy my eyelids were, I could not close them. More than half an hour has passed, and I'm sure Cristiano is close. I stood up from my seat and looked out the window again. The men guarding there still didn't leave, so I just held my breath. Aren't they tired or sleepy? I just shook my head, and I was in agony. I just hope Cristiano brought enough men because Mike has too many men. I was standing there for a while when I felt the watch in my pocket vibrate, so I quickly took it out to look at it. Cristiano was calling, so I didn't take too long to answer because of the nervousness I was feeling earlier. "We're here. The house has three floors. What floor are you on?" Cristiano asked me immediately. "Second floor," I answered. "Alright.
And lastly, I thought I would finally have freedom and happiness in my life. I thought I wouldn't be miserable anymore, and I wouldn't feel any sadness, but I was wrong. I thought wrong.It's hard to wake up every day, and you don't remember anything, and you don't even recognize yourself. I don't know how it happened, but I just woke up one morning feeling like everything had changed. I just woke up one day, and I don't remember anything.I was sweating profusely while walking down the long stairs. I feel a pain in my stomach, and I can't explain how much it hurts. Until I looked at my thigh, and I saw a lot of blood coming out there. At the same time as the blood dripped on my thigh, my tears also fell."Lily! Lily!" a cold baritone made my eyes open.I almost took a deep breath when I finally woke up. I felt my hands trembling, and because of the fear I felt, I immediately covered my face. My tears flowed because I still felt the fear and pain in my heart."Lily, it's just a dream.
FLASHBACK!I wiped the tears that ran down my cheeks and took a deep breath to regain my courage. So much happened, and until now, it's still hard for me to sink it into my mind.The night Cristiano was shot, I thought I would never see him alive again. I thought he would never hear from me that I had forgiven him for all the sins he committed in our past. I thought I would lose him forever.Everything I thought of for Cristiano went to someone else because Mommy disappeared that night. She died because of the ambush that happened in our house while celebrating my father's birthday. I blame everything on me because if I had not returned to the Philippines, that incident would not have happened. I hope Mommy is still alive, and I hope Dad didn't get sick because of Mommy's loss.I'm sitting in front of Mom and Daddy's grave today, and I can't believe that the two most important people in my life are gone."I'm sorry if I failed to give you a grandchild from me," I said, holding Dad's g
