The car was wrapped in silence as they headed home from the office. Kerill sat in the backseat, eyes closed—but Saviel could tell he wasn’t asleep. His posture was rigid, his presence heavy. Up front, Saviel drove without a word.

Saviel was used to his boss’s quiet nature. But this was different. The silence these past few days felt heavier than usual—dense, burdened with thoughts Kerill refused to voice.

“Boss,” Saviel finally said, eyes still on the road.

No response. Kerill only stared out t

    Charlene’s POVThey knew.The kids knew.And I was the only one left in the dark.The realization hit me so hard I felt like I couldn’t breathe—like I might collapse from the weight of it all.“Lily found the medical records in his room… then she showed them to Wyl and Wency… and eventually to me,” Ericka said, her voice trembling. “We’ve known for a while now, Charlene. That’s why we’ve been trying so hard to make him happy… b-because… b-because—”She couldn’t finish.I pulled her into my arms. I knew she’d been holding it in for too long. The moment I held her, she broke—crying against my chest, gripping me tightly like she was afraid to fall apart if she let go.Tears streamed down my face as I listened to her sob.If this hurt me… I couldn’t even begin to imagine how much more it hurt them.“Charlene… I’m scared…”I kissed her forehead and held her tighter. “Shhh… your dad is strong. He’s going to fight this. We’ll get him treatment. We’ll finish this trip… we’ll travel the world

    Charlene’s POVHappiness always comes with a price. I knew it, yet I had hoped… just this once, I wanted it to last—pure, endless joy.Morning came, and I woke before Kerill. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass of our room, I thought it was raining… but no. Snow. My heart leapt.It was my first time seeing snow. I rushed back to wake Kerill, who was still deep in sleep.“Adi, wake up!” I whispered, hugging him, shaking him gently. When he didn’t move, I pressed a soft kiss to his lips—and he startled, then hugged me back, returning the kiss.“Good morning, Adi,” he said with that mischievous smile. I tapped him. “Snow! Outside!” I practically squealed.“Yeah, I know. First snow of the year,” he replied, stretching lazily.I pulled him out of bed, dragging him to the window. Together, we watched the snow slowly cover the yard.Later, after breakfast, we went outside. Kerill cooked while I couldn’t take my eyes off the white wonderland.“Can we play, Daddy?” Lily asked eagerly.“Sure, bu

    Charlene’s POVThe judge’s words echoed in the room: Kerill had won. Full custody of Lily, Ericka, Wency, and Wyl was now his. The mother would only have limited visitation, carefully supervised for the kids’ well-being.I wrapped my arms around him without thinking. Tears slipped down my cheeks—not from sadness, but from relief and happiness. He’d finally achieved what he fought so hard for.“Thank you… thank you so much,” he whispered, burying his face in my shoulder. I held him tighter, feeling the weight of everything we’d been through.“Congratulations,” I murmured.He kissed me softly, then turned to the children, gathering them into his arms. Seeing his face light up with joy, seeing him so proud—it was a moment I would never forget.And yet, a small thought lingered in my mind: with custody settled, the contract was over. I was free.“Tita Charlene!” Lily’s voice brought me back.I went to her, hugging all the children in a big embrace. I loved them more than anything, and I d

    Charlene’s POVKerill and I stayed in his room the entire night.He held me so tightly—as if even the smallest movement, even just turning away, might make me disappear. Every time I shifted, his arms would only tighten around me.And strangely… I liked it.I liked how we clung to each other. How neither of us wanted to let go, no matter what.My thoughts drifted endlessly that night… until I eventually fell asleep without realizing it.When I woke up, he was already there, watching me. His gaze was soft, almost as if he were quietly studying every detail of my face.“Good morning, Adi,” he said with a smile.I frowned slightly. “Adi?”“Yes,” he answered gently. “I want to call you that. It means a blessing from the Lord. Because that’s what you are to me. You were given to me… and I’ll always be grateful for that. I love you, Adi.”He leaned down and kissed my forehead. I closed my eyes, letting the warmth of it sink in.“I love you too,” I murmured, smiling faintly.A moment later,

    Charlene’s POVI didn’t know whether to feel happy or uneasy about everything that was happening that day. I was genuinely glad to finally see Enan again, but at the same time, I couldn’t ignore the tension—especially the way Kerill looked at him.I had just found out earlier that Enan was now Monica’s husband—and worse, he was the very reason Kerill and Monica had fallen apart. The world really is small… and somehow, I found myself caught right in the middle of it.We were at a restaurant near where we had been earlier. The three of us sat together, and honestly, it was a relief Monica didn’t come. Enan had convinced her to go home. I didn’t even want to imagine what would’ve happened if all four of us were in the same place.“How have you been, Charlene?” Enan asked.I smiled. “I’ve been okay. You?”“I’m doing fine. It’s been years, hasn’t it?”“It really has. That’s why I went to Manila… I was hoping I’d find you here. You never came back to the province,” I said, unable to hide th

    Charlene’s POVWhen I woke up that morning, I found Kerill sleeping beside my bed.But the position he was in looked painfully uncomfortable. He was sitting on the floor with his head resting against the edge of the mattress, while his right hand held mine tightly.He hadn’t let go of my hand since the moment he confessed how afraid he was that I might leave him. Even in his sleep, his grip remained firm—despite the fact that he had spent the night sitting on the cold floor.I studied his face quietly.There were still traces of dried tears beneath his eyes.Why did I fall in love with this man?It was never part of my plan. I never intended to step into his life. Yet somehow… I had reached the point where I was willing to sacrifice everything for him.And here I was.Still here.Even after promising myself so many times that I would leave this house.But I never did.I got out of bed and went to take a shower. When I came back, he was no longer sitting where he had been earlier. I as
