After a few more minutes of talking, Karen excused herself and went home since she still had work the next day. So now, only Madrid, Charlie, and I were left. Matthew also texted that he would head straight to the hospital after changing his clothes.

“Doctor, what about this? My mom still hasn’t woken up,” I asked when the doctor entered our room.

“Don’t worry. We’re monitoring her vital signs, and there’s no problem. Just let her rest for now. Her blood sugar is also gradually returning to nor

    I couldn't hold back my tears anymore after I closed the door. I couldn't let myself keep crying because they'd definitely notice my eyes.I wiped my tears with the handkerchief I brought and fixed myself up. Then I let out a deep breath."Don't let this beat you, Mathia," I whispered to myself.I took another deep breath, ready to go back inside. But the moment I opened the bathroom door, I almost jumped in shock when I found Charlie standing beside it.He was looking straight at me. Wait... was he crying?"C-Charlie? Why are you crying?" I asked. Before he could answer, he suddenly grabbed my hand tightly, making me panic. "Charlie, l-let go of me. Y-You're hurting me.""You're hurting? What about me? Did you ever ask if I was hurting?" he asked between sobs. "You know I love you so much, Mathia, b-but why did you do this to me? Why him? W-Why couldn't it have been me?" he asked one question after another."W-What are you talking about?" I asked nervously."D-Don't play me for a foo

    I helped Karen set out the food for everyone. We placed everything on one table so we could eat, sing, and chat together."So you never told me Mathia's boss was coming. I would've at least dressed up properly," I overheard Charlie telling Karen before taking a drink."What are you talking about? You look fine," Karen replied, while I could only give a small smile."Tsk! Fine? I'm nowhere near as rich as him. I wish I were rich too," Charlie said.I felt a little uncomfortable with the way he was acting and talking, but I chose to ignore it. Von and Aileen kept singing, while Draken stayed quiet."So, Karen, how have you been? Sorry I haven't updated you. I've just been really busy with work," I said."It's okay. Don't worry about it. You know, Mathia, I really like my new job. I'm working at a bakery now. It's so much fun. I'm really glad I got hired because I love baking. The smell of fresh bread is amazing," she replied."I'm happy for you. Have you heard anything about—""No. I st

    That evening, Aileen and Von came over to the house. They were already eager to leave, but I told them we were waiting for someone to pick us up. They thought it was going to be Matthew, but it wasn't. Matthew had to work overtime, so he said he'd just meet us later at Karen's birthday."We've been waiting for ten minutes already, Mathia. Who's picking us up?" Aileen asked impatiently. I was about to answer when I heard a car pull up.It had to be Draken."Mom, we're leaving now. Sweetie, stay here for now, okay?" I said to my child. Madrid smiled and nodded.When we stepped outside, the two of them looked surprised when they saw Draken in his car."Wait, isn't that sir?" Aileen asked to make sure."Yeah, it is. Is he invited too?" Von asked.I didn't answer because I had no intention of explaining. We walked over to Draken's car, and the two of them greeted him.I noticed Draken staring at the house. When I looked to see what he was looking at, there was nothing there."Good evening,

    At eleven at night, I was still in the dining area, drinking coffee. I couldn't sleep. My mind had been bothering me for a while now because of Draken.I didn't know what to do."Why are you still awake, sweetheart?"I quickly turned around when I heard Mom. She was on the stairs, looking like she had just come down."I-I just can't sleep," I answered. Mom walked over to me and sat on the empty chair across from me."Is it because of Draken?" she asked. I couldn't answer. My lips refused to move, so I just nodded.Mom took a deep breath and smiled at me."Are you finding it hard to love him again, sweetheart?" she asked."Y-Yes. I don't know what to do," I admitted."Sweetheart, I don't know how heavy your heart still feels because of what he did to you before, but I do know that despite everything, you still love him very much," Mom said. I stayed quiet and just listened to her. "No matter how many times you say you don't want him anymore, your words don't match what your heart is sa

    "R-Really?" I asked my son, going along with his excitement."Yes. I hope it really happens. I'm so, so excited!" my son answered.Even though I felt uncertain, I gave him a smile while gently stroking his cheek.For a moment, I glanced at Mom, who was looking in my direction. Even though she didn't say anything, I could tell from her eyes exactly what she wanted to say.***TUESDAY. It was only the third day of the week, but I found myself staring blankly into space. My thoughts still wouldn't leave me alone."Mathia!"I was startled when Aileen suddenly called my name. I noticed Von was looking at me too, clearly confused."What's going on with you? Von and I have been talking for a while now, but it looks like something's bothering you," Aileen asked."What is it? You can tell us, you know," Von added.I stayed silent for a moment and let out a deep breath.I didn't want to suddenly unload everything that was on my mind. This was a personal problem."I-I just miss my son. It feels

    After half a day of work, Draken didn't take me home right away. Instead, we went to Wolfgang's Steakhouse for lunch. We ordered two Filet Mignons and some drinks."So, what made you decide to bring me here?" I asked while we were in the middle of eating."I brought you here to celebrate with me. For winning your heart back," Draken answered, making a small smile slowly appear on my lips."Hmm... This is what you want—what we both want—so, I guess, let's celebrate," I replied before raising my drink. We clinked our glasses together before taking a sip.He really thinks that he won me back?This is just the beginning. Why would I stop now when I still want my revenge? I'm not about to let him walk back into my life that easily."So, what's next?" I asked."I'm planning to call my parents and tell them I have you back. I want to marry you, Mathia. This is the perfect time for us to start our own family together," Draken explained."But I'm bothered," I interrupted before eating the piec

    When I arrived home, I immediately prepared the remaining shirts and cologne that Charlie had ordered. I planned to personally deliver them to him tomorrow so we could talk before I go to work.“Mama, I don’t have school tomorrow. It’s Saturday. How about you?” my child asked.“I still have work. I

    I was still dealing with that problem as I went back inside the mall and even on my way home. The rain was still pouring heavily. I had an umbrella but it couldn't withstand the strong wind. Because of this, my trip home took longer. I was soaked to the bone, especially when I got inside the house.

    “Thank you for the ride, Charlie Take care,” I said as I peek a little toward the car window, offering him a small smile.“Sure, thanks. Bye,” he replied, waving lightly before driving off. I stood there for a while, watching his car disappear from sight, and sighed deeply. That man... he never rea
