LOGINEllyse was lying on their bed alone while hearing the shower coming from the bathroom. Kai was still busy bathing and she’s been trying her best to fall asleep but for some reason, her mind was all over the place. The memory of whatever Victoria told her never left her mind, it stayed and made a fortress for itself. Then, she heard it. He opened the door and started walking to the bed. He fluffed up the mattress first before she felt the bed sink a little from his weight. “When’s the last time you spoke to Agatha?” she couldn’t help herself. It’s the only thing she thought of at dinner. Silence was all she heard, then he sighed heavily. “Before the trip, why?” He asked. She licked her lips and gulped harshly, swallowing the growing lump inside her throat. She hated herself for still being heavily affected by whatever he’s doing with his ex. Maybe all the trauma and pa
“What is it, Ellyse?” He reiterated. Her throat ran dry as she stared at him, fear creeping into her skin. She had imagined how it would be like if she told him straight up about her pregnancy. What she would say, how she would say it and how she’ll reveal the truth. But in reality, she was left dumbfounded. She stared at him as if the answers were written all over her eyes. For some reason, she couldn’t muster up the courage to blurt out the words—to tell the truth. She shook her head, tears threatening to fall. “I’m sorry, I can’t do it.” “What? What do you mean you can’t do it?” His voice echoed through her ears as she stood up, her heart was racing and she couldn’t think straight. “I just…I can’t. I am so sorry, Kai,” And then she fled to their room where she locked herself. She kept crying, she couldn’
“The wedding preparations are already underway. Do you have any requests? A motif you’d like, perhaps?” Eliana, Ellyse’s mother asked. They were eating at the Laurent mansion, as gathered together to talk about wedding plans. For some reason, Kai was peculiarly silent. Ellyse was the one answering the questions. “Well, we haven’t spoken about what motif we wanted. As long as we get married as soon as possible, that’s good enough for us,” She answered her mom. “What if we do a white wedding, yes? It’s traditional but I think it fits well with our bride and groom!” Victoria suggested. She was very thrilled to know that both of them were getting married. “White is good,” Kai answered briefly while chewing his food. Ellyse looked at him, trying to read his expression. Something was obviously bothering him but she doesn’t know what it is. The sudden shift in his mood
Ka and Ellyse were left inside the villa after lunch. She hesitated a lot at first but she didn’t have a choice. Plus, she’s not interested in going around the island that much. She thought that maybe, having that alone time with Kai would lessen her fear of telling him about her pregnancy. While she stayed inside their room, Kai was at the living area, working. He had his eyeglasses on and was typing something on his laptop while his brows were furrowed. He looked very busy and occupied so she didn’t want to bother him. She stayed inside their room for a good hour before boredom became evident. She sighed heavily, stood up and walked to the bathroom to check out her bump. It a little more prominent now unlike before, but she’s still able to cover it with her clothes. She’s certain th
The itinerary for their last day was purely to explore the island more. George and Victoria were most looking forward for it because that meant not getting themselves wet. Meanwhile, Ellyse and Kai woke up separated unlike yesterday. She was grateful to wake up without her ex-husband embracing her. Their morning went normal. Victoria ordered room service so they wouldn’t have to get ready in the morning for breakfast so majority of the morning was spent inside the villa. “Mom, can I swim at the pool after this?” Claire asked while munching on her pancake. “You’re not sick of swimming yet, Claire?” Kai joked. “Never! I love to swim, daddy!” She giggled happily. Their vacation really made Claire happier than ever. There’s never been a day where she woke up in a bad mood. “Alright, I’ll accompany you after this,” Ellyse stated while caressin
“I had so much fun, grandma! I can’t believe we only have two days left,” Claire went back to their villa skipping. Her smiles were so wide that it reached her eyes. “Oh don’t you worry dear, we’ll definitely go to another beach vacation very soon,” George assured her while caressing her hair. “Yes, please! I can’t wait! I want to go snorkeling again, grandpapa!” She replied happily, making Victoria chuckle. “You’re really fond of the beach, huh?” She asked her granddaughter. “I just love the ocean and the sand! It’s the best thing in the world!” She beamed. Meanwhile, Kai and Ellyse silently went inside their own room. They already had dinner so they were already feeling quite sleepy. “Are you going to shower first?” Kai asked while unbuttoning his polo.
Ellyse’s car was parked outside of Kai’s company. She didn’t expect him to agree with Claire, but she most of all did not expect him to ask her to eat with them!Did the words Ellyse told him last night stick with him? He seems to have been trying his best to be a father to Claire,
Ellyse slept with Claire that night. She didn’t want to bump into Kai so she tried her very best to stay in Claire’s room as much as possible.The next morning, Ellyse woke up bright and early to prepare their breakfast. This was the usual routine when she used to live here. Nerisa
For 6 years she devoted her life to Kai, but that’s going to change now. Ellyse drove to her house to unpack her things after what happened earlier in Claire’s room. The way Kai reacted hurt her deeply, but she’s not going to dwell on that anymore.
Ellyse was seated with Claire at the airport again. Poor girl, she was so tired from all the long rides they went through just to get to the airport. “Mommy, when we go back home, are you gonna stay with us again?” Claire peers at Ellyse who’s busy emailing her client. “I’m sorry, Claire. But I
