ALLYS POV

I was awakened by the loud sound of my cellphone. Sleepily, I fumbled for it on the side table and answered.

"Hello, who's this?" I asked with my eyes closed to the person calling.

[Gosh! Did you already fall asleep Mariel? It is so early to sleep my dear best friend.]

I frowned at what the woman on the other line said and unconsciously looked at the time on my cellphone. I saw that it was past one in the morning.

What does she mean it's still early? Early because it's already morning

    ALLY’S POV I explained clearly to Mika that Leon must not catch us at the apartment, because I was absolutely certain he would take my son away. Even though truth be told, Leon never actually said anything about that. I just didn’t want to have any connection with his family again — especially the Cuevas family. I was carrying Leo in my arms now, while we rode a tricycle Mika and I hired. I brought only a few sets of clothes for us so we wouldn’t have a hard time traveling. “Thank you so much for helping me, Mika,” I told her as we traveled. “Oh, it’s nothing. Besides, my aunt’s place is very close — just in the next town. But it’s perfect, because Engineer Mondragon will definitely never find you there. Once we arrive, I won’t stay long though — I’ll head right back, since I have work tomorrow,” she said, looking out at the darkening road we were traveling on. Good thing there were still tricycles parked along the road earlier. “Thank you really, so much, Mika,” I repeated. “H

    ALLY’S POV “What is it already? You’ve got me so curious with how serious you are,” she pressed, sipping the juice Joy prepared. Joy was in the bedroom, putting Leo back to sleep, so it was just Mika and me in the living room now. “Can you please help me? You have an aunt living in the other village, right?” I started, and she nodded. “Yes, I do. What can I do for you?” she asked, looking confused. I clasped my hands together and looked at her nervously. I didn’t know if what I was planning was right, but she was the only person I could think of who could help me right now. “C-can you please ask your aunt, Mika… if Leo and I could stay there for a while? Just for a short time, until I find another place for us to move into.” She frowned deeply at me. “Why? What’s wrong? And why so sudden?” I held her hands tightly, surprising her with how firm my grip was. “I’ll explain everything to you later. So… will you help me? I plan to leave tonight. I’ll just text Daniel about my res

    ALLY’S POV “W-why are you here?” I asked him softly. We left my apartment so we could talk properly and privately. I looked out the window of his car. We were parked by the roadside where you could see a vast stretch of rice fields. Seeing him earlier holding Leo in his arms shocked me to my core. Damn it! How did he even find where I live? Oh right… Mika gave him my address. He remained silent beside me, and I couldn’t help but feel rising panic. “If you are thinking you can take my son Leo away from me… let me tell you this right now, Leon. You will never, ever get my son! We will both die before I let you take him away from me!” I couldn’t stop myself from saying it out loud, full of anger and fear. He just stared at me for a moment, then gently held my hand. I gasped sharply at his touch. “What are you doing?!” I snapped angrily, trying to pull away. “Why so mad at me, baby?” I gasped again hearing that familiar endearment, and quickly snatched my hand back from his grip.

    LEON’S POV “I love mommy more!” he insisted, his tiny hands still resting on my face. I couldn’t help but laugh softly at him. “I love your mommy more… I’m sure of that, big boy,” I replied, laughing while tears welled up at the corners of my eyes. He frowned deeply at me. “No! I love my mommy… sooo much!” he shouted, defending his love for her. I breathed out slowly and nodded gently at him. You really do… I’m sure of that. Every part of me loves your mom. And since you are a part of me, I know for sure you love her more than anything! He let go of my face and crawled away to grab his little red toy car. He came right back to my side and handed it to me. “Play! Let’s play!” he clapped his hands and smiled widely at me. My heart almost shattered completely when I saw his bright blue eyes crinkle and his tiny teeth show as he grinned. Dammit, Allys! You are never going to leave me again! I swear to God I’ll make sure of that. You are bound to me forever now! Just as I am bound

    LEON’S POV “Who are you, Sir?” An unfamiliar woman opened the door. If the old lady earlier hadn’t told me this was Allys’ apartment, I would have thought I knocked on the wrong room. “I’m Leon Versius Reniel Mondragon. I’m… a friend… of Alice.” Fuck! Since when was I just a friend to Allys?! I saw her eyes light up instantly when she heard my name. “Ma’am Alice never mentioned she had a visitor coming today.” So this really is Allys’ apartment. I bit my lip hard. “I didn’t tell her I was coming. I planned to surprise her,” I said calmly. She blinked a few times, looked inside, then opened the door wide. I immediately saw a tiny living room and kitchen, plus two small bedrooms on the side. The interior is so simple… so humble. “Ma’am Alice stepped out for a while, Sir. She went to the market. Please excuse the mess — I just started cleaning when you knocked. Please have a seat. Would you like coffee? Milk? Or juice?” Milk? “Water is fine,” I told her, sitting down on their

    ALLY’S POV The next day, the doctor told me that Leo and I were already allowed to go home. But before I left, he gave me a prescription for medicines I needed to buy and give to my son. “Big boy… Leo… overcome fear,” Leo said cheerfully when we got back to our small apartment. I gently laid him down on the mat in the living room and looked at him closely, my heart softening. “My very good baby Leo… you really are a big boy now. But promise me you won’t make Mommy worry like that again, hmm?” I said softly to him. I was surprised when his tiny hands held my face, and he stared straight into my eyes. Looking at him felt exactly like looking right at Leon — especially with those eyes. “M… sorry, Mommy…” I immediately smiled and hugged him so tight. “I love you, my baby Leo,” I told him, kissing his chubby cheek. “I love Mommy too… sooo much!” We were in that sweet moment when I heard someone knocking on the door. I stood up quickly and went to open it. There stood Joy. “Good
