-=Jayden's Point of View=-Who'd have guessed that it's been three weeks since I finally admitted to myself that I have feelings for Gabby, that I love her, but that I haven't been able to tell her how I feel because I've been afraid.It's funny; who would have thought that the wealthy, successful, and confident Jayden Andrada could be this nervous and scared, because of a simple girl, a girl who managed to capture my heart?Who wouldn't fall for a woman like Gabrielle Crisostomo? With that, my eyes were immediately drawn to her."Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked when she noticed me staring at her.She was busy sending a text message to her sister, who was still in Thailand for a fashion show."Have I ever told you, that you're so beautiful?" As soon as she heard my question, her face turned bright red, which makes her more precious.She's so beautiful that she could get any man she wants, but she seems unaware of that fact, which makes her precious and genuine."You'r
-=Jayden's Point of View=-"Dude, you're drinking again?" I heard someone speak with an incredulous tone."Would you like to join me?" I asked in a bored voice.I didn't have to turn around to know who it was because I know that voice anywhere.He didn't answer and just took the seat next to me, and without saying anything, he poured his glass with the whiskey I was drinking."What's happening to you, Jayden? Ever since you came back from vacation, you've been drinking all the time," he asked, while shaking his head."You know what? It was all your fault," I could stop myself, but blamed him, and he looked startled by my remark.This particular friend of mine was the one who told me to relax and drink before my flight to Macau, and if I didn't listen to his suggestion, then I wouldn't meet Gabby, and this whole mess would not have happened in the first place."Nah," I suddenly thought, because, truth be told, I don't feel any regret about meeting and knowing Gabby."What did I do?" He
-=Gabby's Point of View=- I tried hard to hold back the tears that threatened to fall from my eyes; he shouldn't know that I was hurting. I could tell that I had hurt Jayden because of my decision, but I needed to stay strong, or else I might do what I really wanted to do, which is to tell Jayden how I really feel. When Jayden finally left, I let the tears finally pour from my eyes, and I felt like dying because of the pain I was feeling in my heart. It felt like a million needles were stabbing my heart because of the pain I was feeling. I know I will regret my decision someday, but I have to do it. "I hope you won't regret your decision, Gabby," I heard Mel say, who had been standing there for a while now. "I'm already regretting it, believe me," I answered with a bitter smile. I have never experienced pain like this before, and I have no idea when or how this anguish will go away—or even if it will go away at all. I have no idea. "I just don't get you; I could tell that you
-=Gabby's Point of View=-I took a deep breath while gazing at my sleeping son. Three years have gone by since I let the person I love most, the father of my child, leave, and yet I can still feel the need for him and at the same time the fear once he discovers the truth.After Jayden departed from my life, a lot of things started to happen. I decided to quit my job because it belonged to Jayden, and I was anxious that once my pregnancy became more obvious, Jayden might find out about it.Leaving was difficult for me, especially because my friend Regina was still working there.I am aware that my coworkers there were astonished, but nothing could stop me anymore. I also revealed to Regina the truth, and as expected, she did not criticize me for it.It's just a shame that she ended up moving to Dubai, where she has been living for the past two years.We decided to sell the house left for us out of concern that Jayden may return, and we moved to Davao, where I got employment."Aren't yo
-=Gabby's Point of View=- "Are you okay, Gabby?" I was taken aback when I heard Mel's voice. I was gripping my chest at the moment since my heartbeat was still too rapid. "He's back," I unconsciously muttered. She scowled suddenly at what I said, and when I remained silent, she chose to speak. "Who are you talking about? Who's back?" She asked, still looking confused. "Caleb's dad is back! Jayden's back!" I exclaimed, feeling so frightened. It took a couple of seconds before I noticed the confused expression on his face change to one of fright. "What are you planning to do now? Are you going to introduce Caleb to his father?" She asked. "No! Jayden shouldn't know about our son; do you know what he would do if he discovered that he has a child with me?" I replied, shaking my head. I didn't want to think about what would happen after he learned about Caleb; aside from taking Caleb away from me, all I could envision was his wrath, and the thought of it genuinely terrifies me. "Y
-=Melchoras's Point of View=-"Caleb, wait for me!" I said when he dashed to the bathroom without waiting for me to finish preparing what he needed."It's all right, pretty auntie," he replied.When I looked at Caleb, I couldn't help but break out into a smile. Ever since I lost Aidan in the accident, I didn't know how I could go on living my life, but because of Caleb, I found a purpose to live and continue with my life after the tragedy that had befallen me.I still feel anguish whenever I think of Aidan, but thanks to Caleb, I was able to survive, and I couldn't even begin to imagine what my life would be like if he weren't in it. Caleb saved my life. I can't thank him enough.When I exited Gabby and Caleb's room, I had no choice but to go past a large mirror, and as soon as I did, I noticed the scar that was located on the left side of my face.Because of my scar, I was unable to continue my modeling career; after all, who would want to hire a model with a face like mine?I made a
-=Jayden's Point of View=-"Sir, you have an appointment with Mr. Cuerva this afternoon."Because I was preoccupied with other things at the time, the words that were spoken to me by my secretary almost did not register in my head. As a result of my distraction, I was unable to hear what she had said."Excuse me, sir?"This time, I was roused from my daydream by a gentle tap on my shoulder.My thoughts had always been clear and organized when it came to my work, but after I met with Gabby, they became a complete mess.I eventually made up my mind to do what I needed to do; I didn't believe I would be able to concentrate on work anyhow, so I told my assistant, "Cancel all my meetings for this afternoon.""But sir..."She gave the impression that she was going to protest, but she ceased doing so as soon as I gave her a stern gaze.She apologized on her way out, and I am confident that she will carry out the instruction I gave her.Since I went to Gabby's house and met her sister Melchor
-=Gabby's Point of View=-"Did we miss anything?" I asked Mel when we finally got the last box inside the condo unit I bought in Makati after we left Davao.The other day, we left Davao because I didn't know if my heart could handle the fear that Jayden might see our son."Don't worry, we didn't miss anything; everything is fine," she said.After hearing her response, I decided to go to Caleb and my room, where I found Caleb busy looking at the pictures in the book he was holding."What is my baby reading?" I asked with a smile. I immediately moved to his side and enfolded my arm around his small shoulder."Dinosaurs," he answered while pointing to the picture. I decided to spend time with Caleb, but around one in the afternoon, I decided to get ready for my interview with Regina's employer.I already resigned from my previous job, so as of the moment, I am jobless, and I cannot afford to be jobless for a long time, so I was hoping I could impress Regina's employer and get hired by hi
