Hugh’s POV"That is bullshit!" I shouted.The man I hired to look for her jumped a little because of my growling voice. "Report properly, Admiral." I commanded.He seems a bit hesitant speaking and following me.”That’s all I can report sir. I saw her with Mr. Echo Brook in a coffee shop.”"And?" I asked even though I heard it a while ago. I’m just hoping that he’ll report in a fucking right way.“Mr. Brook brought him flowers held her hands- ””I call bullshit on that! Get the fuck out of here! ” I yelled.He got out and as soon as he was out. I picked up whatever it is that I can get and throw it on the white innocent wall.“Fuck. Fuck! ” I massaged the bridge of my nose.My blood can’t help but to boil because of anger. She what? She left me cold and alone just after getting laid just to meet that asshole? Bullshit! Held hands? Gave her flowers? Fuck I’m better than that!I can’t believe this. I can’t believe what I’m hearing. That is probably not true. What I think is inconsisten
Angel’s POVDid you ever experienced living and felt like not living at all? It was like a wave with no permanent destination. It seems like a dust in a wind, there is nothing to do but accept where the wind will take you. You don’t know where you’re going to end up, you don’t know where you’re supposed to be."Angel!"I smiled lightly, my thoughts stopped when Milo approached me. He’s two years old."Hi Milo!" I delightedly said and hugged him."I missed you!" I pinched his cheeks.He’s so cute and he really looks like his dad. He giggled and I tickled him. Then I looked up at his companion."I missed you." She smiled at me.I smiled back and hugged her."I miss you too, Molly.""I know, it's been so long since we last saw each other.""Four months?" I confirmed and she nodded.We sat outside our house. She visited me in our house. I am happy because they visited me here.Milo happened, yes. I didn't know she was pregnant when I approached her the day I left the penthouse and asked h
I became selfish, to make the long story short.I was able to sympathize with other people just to escape the responsibility I had accepted before. I knew it was wrong to solve one problem by another, but in those times I had no idea.Seeing his eyes, his hopeful eyes it slowly broke me into pieces. What I hold on to I can hardly stand. I don’t know how he tracked me down to Molly’s apartment that same day.But one thing’s for sure, I was so happy seeing him there. I’m so happy when he hugged me so tight like he’s afraid of losing me. I remember his words, he wants me to go with him so bad.He wanted me to live with him and he called it our home. He’s my home. And whoever people who I’ll be with, I’ll always feel alone. I’ll always be the dust that has never found it’s way home because nobody owns it, nobody wants it. And it’s just a mere dust who’s useless and doesn’t deserve a place in this world.“Echo,” I uttered his name when the door opened.It’s midnight. I immediately smelled
I woke up to a loud ringing of my cellphone. I can't even barely open my eyes.Who would call me this early? I reached for my phone on my bedside table and saw that mom was calling."Mom?""Angel!"I got up because of how weary her voice is. My forehead furrowed as I heard her.”Why? What’s wrong? ””I called you because I can’t contact Echo. My God! ”Confused I stood up on the bed and opened my curtain. It’s still early in the morning. Mom wouldn't call me this early if this is not urgent.“He’s out of town right?” I confirmed."Out of town?""He told me that you and dad sent him again for a business trip.""W-what?" the confusion in her voice is evident."Yes." I breathed."Well ... I-I didn't know about that." I felt like I had something to know but I chose to keep quiet and listen to whatever mom had to say."I can't call him, he's not answering my phone."”I’ll try to call him after this. Why? What happened? Is there a problem? ”“Angel,”I felt her sounding so not sure if she’l
I still tried to call Echo many times but right now, he’s out of coverage. I don’t know what’s the matter with him but whatever it is I hope it’s worth his family being taken for granted.It is not enough for me to save no matter how hard I try or even a full salary I have no money to pay their debt.My head hurts and I feel weak when Echo and I go home. Whatever I think of the way I don’t know what to do. Echo is the only son, and it seems like he’s crazy about this. Who else would help them? Of course I am!"I'm sorry Angel, if only I'm rich you don't have to be this stressed." said Molly when I called her asking for possible ways to help Brook’s“No, no, no Molly. Never. Don’t worry, I can handle this. ”“No! Your husband should be the one getting stressed about that. Where is he? Fucking somebody? ”“Alright. I don’t want to talk about shit things, I just want to get this done. I’ll call some other time. ”I took a deep breath as I scrolled through my cellphone. I was searching fo
I cried the whole night. Never in my life did I imagine Echo saying those words from me. I couldn’t talk back after he spat those words at me like I’m sort of a disgusting woman or something. I couldn’t say something because everything that he said is true. I don’t have the right to talk back because that’s the fucking truth.I fucked Hugh in order to pay my bills. I cried so hard not because how offended he sound. It’s just because no matter what happens other people will think of me that way. To all those who know that Hugh paid me to be a surrogate. That’s probably how Hugh’s mother sees me, as well as Celeste. I look disgusting being someone’s possession because I was paid to be fucked.My phone rang.I only sleep a wink. Echo probably left last night. I answered the call.It’s mom’s, "Honey,"I immediately stood up to hear Mom's worried voice."Mom?" I nervously asked."Your dad,""What happened to him?"”I brought him to the hospital, Echo came this morning and he had some figh
I watched him walk to the direction of his seat. While I was just standing in front of his table. I felt heavy when I first entered. Everything had changed. Every corner of the office was different, contrary to what I think he hadn’t changed. Everything got more darker in tone. If previously there was a little more clear color to be seen, now it is pure dark. What remained constant was his name on his desk.’Hugh Rockwell. CEO ’ I gulped when he sat and even put his feet above his table. Looking so chill while I’m the only one who’s bothered.”What brings you here Mrs. Brook? ”Am I the only one? Or does he really emphasize the abbreviation? He has this evil smile on his face that I badly want to wipe."Are you not with your husband?" he asked mockingly.I couldn’t answer him. I remained standing there in front of him looking so miserable.“Are you gonna speak or… should I ask you to leave too?”I gritted my teeth because of the pain that slashed my heart. I still haven't answered h
He’s wrong. He doesn’t own a part of me. Because at the very beginning, I’m all his - All of me.“Honey, oh my god! Where did you get this !? ”Mom's reaction was shock when I handed her the check powerlessly. I can't even look into his eyes. I looked at dad that’s now looking at me too, he didn’t speak as he still doesn’t know what’s going on but his eyes are like reading my emotion.“You must pay your debt now, mom. And I'll try to talk to, Echo. ”I simply answer him. Mom's jaw still dropped while looking at the cheque like as if she still couldn't believe what she’s holding.I approached dad, I held his hand and even though he won’t say it just by looking at his eyes I know he’s thanking me.”Please get well soon. I can still remember your face years ago at the orphanage. You told me you’ve always wanted a baby girl and that I’ve made your dream come true. ” I uttered.Tears clouded his eyes, as if something was pinching my heart.”Thank you for having me as a part of your family.
