32. Walls around.
Kahit masama na ang pakiramdam at hindi naman hinihingi ni Nate ang presensya niya, Hannah didn't want to leave him. But during times when Olive and Elisha were in the wake, she had to leave.
That she almost forgot. Olive.There's still Olive in Nate's life. Ito pa rin ang babae sa tabi ng binata at times like this one."Hannah," si Adam iyon na nakita siyang nakasilip kina Nate, Olive at Elisha na kasalukuyang umiistima ng mga nakikiramay. Most were just business partners since Nate maintained his family matters private.Dumating sina Olive at Elisha kanina habang 'andoon pa siya. Pwede na siyang umalis pero hindi niya matiis ang pagkakataon na makita si Elisha kahit hindi niya ito pwedeng lapitan."Hey," mahina at matamlay niyang bati."Bakit 'andito ka? Magpakita ka kay Elisha," he urged."I- i'm not sure kung magugustuhan ni Nate kung basta na lang ako magpapakita kay Eli.""He have been waiting forRelated chapters

"What was that, Nate?" She asked Nate who closed the room's door behind him. Elisha was now out of earshot as Adam took her with him after much convincing that her mommy wasn't going anywhere. "Can't you stay for Eli?" he asked back. Lumapit ito sa kinauupuan niya at ipinaghila ang sarili nito ng upuan sa tapat niya. Then he started to gently press a cold compress on her swollen cheek. "You know that I'd do anything for Elisha," mabilis ang tibok ng puso at naiilang sa proximity ni Nate na sagot niya, mas nararamdaman pa nga niya ang kamay nito kaysa sa yelo na idinadampi-dampi nito sa pisngi niya. "Pero ikaw? Is it okay with you?" "What do you think, Hannah?" Inihinto nito ang ginagawa para salubungin ang mga mata niya. "I- I can't really tell," amin niya. He sighed before pulling away. "Please do this for Elisha. I want her to be happy," pakiusap nito. "It's not like I can say no. I'm still working for

"Coffee, Sir?" Hannah still works for Nate in the hotel. Pero sa bahay nito na siya nakatira at sinasabay na siya sa pagpasok after dropping Elisha to her school. Gusto pa sana niyang gawin 'yong dati na mag-i-stay siya sa school ni Eli but the kid herself said na kaya na nito with her yaya and Paul. "Yes, please." Hindi nag-aangat ng paningin na sagot ng binatang busy sa laptop nito. Maingat naman niyang inilapag sa tabi nito ang tasa ng kape na dala-dala na niya. "Express?" He smiled at her. "Yep..." nakangiti ring tugon niya. "For the ever busy GM." "Come here." "Hmn?" Kunot noong tanong niya na lumapit sa tapat nito, Nate's table in between them. "A good employee deserves a prize." He pushed his laptop to his side then leaned over his table, almost closing their distance while looking at her lips teasingly. "I am not aware of such," hindi siya umatras. "Wala ata iyon sa employee handbook."

It's a weekend.Hannah decided to pay Leah a visit. Isinama niya si Elisha para makipaglaro ito kay Seth at para makita nito sa unang pagkakataon ang kapatid ng kaibigan nito.As expected, Eli's reaction was adorable. Seeing Bethany for the first time, Eli repeatedly told her na bigyan na rin niya ito ng kapatid. Inggit na inggit ito kay Seth."Eli, mommy and daddy need to get married first," sabi ni Leah."When are you getting married, mom?" Ungot nito na ayaw bitawan ang kamay ni Bethany."In the right time, anak.""When is the right time?""You'll just know it, Eli." Paano naman niya ipapaliwanag kay Elisha na malabo pa sa sabaw ng dinuguan ang relasyon nila ng ama nito? Eli won't understand."Okay," naka-pout na sabi nito bago lumapit kay Seth na tinawag ito papunta sa playroom."Ano na? Four days na si Nate sa Macau, ah? Kailan ang uwi?" untag ni Leah.Malungkot siyang umiling. Four days in Macau and he had only called her once. Pagk

It was just supposed to be three days. Kaso hindi siya nakaalis dahil sunod-sunod ang naging problema. Nate hated every freaking time he needed to spend in Macau. Each second away from Elisha and Hannah's almost driving his thoughts into nuts. He missed Hannah so much that he needed to disconnect himself with his phone during his stay in Macau so that he wouldn't be tempted to call her every hour. Worst, fly back to the Philippines just so he would have her in his arms again. Because admittedly, he was so in love with Hannah that he would move mountains to be with her. Unfortunately, he couldn't do that at the given time. Nate never thought he was capable of loving one woman that way. He had Olive for five years. Pero hindi siya nabaliw na hindi ito makita sa loob lang ng ilang araw. Although he believed he used to love her, separation had never been a problem to him. But with Hannah, it's a whole lot different story. Hannah Rodrigue

"Welcome back, GM!" Paul, his best friend slash Eli's bodyguard, greeted him with a huge grin on his face. Ito lang ang pinagsabihan niya ng pagdating niya dahil kailangan niyang magpasundo galing sa airport. "How's everyone?" he asked nang makasakay na siya sa kotse. "You mean, Hannah?" he teased and an involuntary smile lit up his face. Pero agad ding naglaho iyon nang makita ang seryosong mukha ni Paul. "Not good." "What do you mean not good?" kunot noong tanong niya na bahagyang kinakabahan. "The news isn't true right, Nate?" nananantiyang tanong nito. "What news?" mas lumalim ang pagkakakunot noo niya. "That you and Olive are getting married." "What?!" bulalas niya. "Of course not!" Saan galing iyon? "Well, that's what Olive's been telling everyone. That you're getting married. There were pictures of you and Olive circulating online. That you're together in Macau and you're having your sweet time t

Hannah woke up to the feeling of a hand stroking her hair. What??? Who??? How??? She was alone in the townhouse! Who could possibly be with her? "Hannah," it was Nate's voice, Hannah froze. Just last night, she dreamed of him. In fact it's still so vivid, she could actually remember every detail of her dream. So hearing Nate's voice when she was already fully awake though not still opening her eyes, made her heart skip a beat. "Hannah" she heard him chuckling. "I know you're already awake. Come on, open your eyes or I'll kiss you." Sukat sa sinabi nito ay agad siyang nagmulat, only to find Nate's face directly above her face. His amused gaze stared back at her surprised wide eyes. "N-nate?!" She stammered at nagmamadaling bumangon, totally forgetting na halos magkadikit pala ang mukha nila. So she ended up head butting Nate Sarmiento. "Ouch!" Exaggerated na sinapo ng binata ang noo nito. "I-I'm sorry!" Agad niya i

Dumiretso na sila sa bahay. Nate held a meeting with the whole security team of his house. Kung bakit, hindi niya alam. After an hour, nagpaalam ito na makikipag-conference meeting sa mga staff nito via video call. She told him okay at nagpasyang mag-bake na lang ng chocolate chip cookies para sa asawa niya't anak. They were like crazy with the cookie. Mag-ama nga ang mga ito. Hannah smiled to herself. Hindi mapipigilan ng problemang dumating ang kasiyahan niya sa bagong estado niya sa buhay. Nate loves her at kahit hindi sila makapag-honeymoon ngayon, okay lang. She knew Nate, babawi ito. That's for sure. She was preparing the ingredients when her phone rang. It was Olive. "Hannah," bungad nito nang sagutin niya ang tawag. "Hello Liv," alanganin niyang bati. "Eli's with me. I'm wondering if you can come and get her? I have an appointment in two hours. I cannot drive her back. I need to fix myself pa." "

"Olive," Hannah tried to calm Olive down. "Let's talk. Not like this. Please, natatakot na si Eli…" "No... We will talk like this. Eli has to know what a slut you are, Hannah!" Gigil na itinutok nito sa tagiliran ni Elisha ang kutsilyo habang pigil nito ang bata sa buhok nito. "How you ruined our family!" Eli wasn't complaining kahit nakadungaw na sa mga mata nito ang pinipigilan nitong mga luha. She was a brave kid! Hindi niya alam kung dapat ba niyang ikatuwa iyon na tahimik lang ito o hindi. "Don't hurt her, I beg you." Siya pa ang naunang maiyak kaysa sa bata. "She's your daughter, Liv! Your own flesh and blood!" She couldn't contain seeing Eli so scared like that but she couldn't do anything. One wrong move and Olive could hurt Eli. "I know... " bahagya nitong inilayo ang kutsilyo "I'm not going to hurt Eli. I need her so Nate would come back to me. But– " bitin nitong itinabi sa leeg ni Eli ang hawak nito. "If you're not going to coopera
