Adrina looked at the ball gown she was putting on as she stare at her reflection in the mirror, “Isn’t it beautiful?” She asked and her friend Ryan nod.
“Yes it is,” She replied with a fake smile when Rina wasn’t looking then all of a sudden, Her phone beeped.“Damn! Not now, huh?” She muttered after checking the message that came in but Rina was able to hear her, she turned to her.“Is that your mom?” She asked worriedly and Ryan nod.“Yes, Rina,” She replied as she fondly calls her.“-she wants me home right now but we’d still be going to the event planners right?” Ryan said and Rina went closer to where she stood.“Come on, that’s your mom, right? Go and attend to her needs, family comes first, Ryan,” Rina told her worriedly.“Are you sure? Don’t you want to go to the event planners? I don’t want-“Rina shook her head, “No. Don’t worry about me I will find my way around here, go quickly.” Rina uttered and Ryan took her bag and blew kisses to Rina“Thank you, you’re the best friend in this world!” Bye!” With that She left.Rina turned back to her dress happily, “I bet Gil will love this, I can’t wait for us to walk down the aisle soon,” She giggle to herself as she stare at the dress happily.Then she brought out her phone and decided to video-call him, but the automated response was the number you’re calling is unavailable.She pouted and place the phone back into her bag, “Could he be busy?” She asked “…or should I visit him?” She thought then concluded on that.She dropped the ball gown and went back to change into her casual clothes. She took a cab going to Gil’s apartment.When the cab dropped at the front of his apartment, she moved closer to the entrance. “Tsk, So he’s home? Why isn’t he picking up my calls?” She muttered and walked in since she met the door opened.“Gil? Gil-“ She called but stopped when her eyes fell on the feminine clothe on the floor, she blinked her eyes to be sure she’s seeing the right thing.She tried not to cry, “Get it together, it can’t be what am thinking,” She told herself and curiosity made her walk slowly towards the bedroom, hoping it’s not what she’s thinking.Then Moans grew wider as she take steps further, curiously she opened the door but have a faint breathe as soon as the view came to her sight, two close people having an affair?!“R-Ryan?!” She yelled calling to their attention as more tears followed. “Gil!”When the two in question saw Rina, the pulled away from each other immediately while Ryan rolled her eyes obviously not feeling remorseful of what she did.“Gil! We are getting married in two weeks?! How could you! With my best friend?!!” Rina yelled with tears rolling out of her eyes.“I can explain, Er,,,,” Gil walk closer to her and tries to touch her but Rina pushed him away.“Don’t fucking touch me!” Rina snapped and looked at Ryan who was glaring at her.“Why you Ryan?!” She scowled bitterly but Ryan rolled her eyes. “How could you! I trusted you! You’re my friend!” She asked and Ryan scoffed.“I loved Gilbert and that’s it! You’re not my friend! I hate it when you get everything!” Ryan snapped and Rina couldn’t believe her ears.“W-what?” Rina shutters shaking her head repeatedly, with that she left the room.Gil wanted to follow her but Ryan pulled him back, “What do you wanna do? Follow her? Tsk, Don’t act like you love her, huh? Leave her! Let her sulk like a baby!” Ryan stopped him.“But,”“No buts, it’s her loss.”“What if she tells the family?”“Don’t worry, I already have a plan.” ************(A Clubhouse)Rina has drank herself to stupor, “One more drink! I want to be wasted today!” She screamed and collected yet another drink and gulp it all down.“It shouldn’t have been you Gil! You shouldn’t have betrayed me! What do I tell my Mom? What do I tell everyone that I have invited to my wedding?” She lamented as she sobs softly.Then she suddenly feel pressed, “Wow, now—I want to urinate! Damn! Can someone tell me where the toilet is? Arhhh,” She muttered drunkenly as she stagger to the restroom.She stormed into someone on her way out of the toilet, “oh, It’s Gil! My fiancé that cheated! Are you back to take me??” She asked as she squeeze the innocent man’s face.“Young lady-“ The man tries to talk as well but got shut up by a sudden kiss by Rina.“Sleep with me,” She whispered and the strange man couldn’t resist her sweet lips and aura.“You want it right? Not here then,” With that the man took her away.The Next DayThe ray of the sun ran across Rina’s face and forced her to open her eyes, “Argh, my head bangs,” She cried then her eyes ran to the wall clock. She sprang up but found herself totally naked.“W-what have I done?” She asked herself as she remembers all that happened last night.Then it occurred to her, she had a one night stand with a stranger!!(Weeks later) A resounding slap landed right on Rina’s face, her cheeks turned pink, Gina was fuming as she felt like giving her another one.Rina hold onto her cheeks with a gasp, “Mom-“ She muttered shocked not knowing what the slap for.“What’s the meaning this rubbish am seeing?!” Gina yelled as she shown her the test results from last week.“This is a misunderstanding Mom, it’s not what you think.”Gina scoffed, “not what I think? Are you kidding me here! Who’s the father of that thing in your stomach! Tell me now!” She yelled while Rina flinches in fear.“I can explain, Mom. I was so drunk and I couldn’t remember a thing, I wasn’t in my right mind,” She explained herself but Gina wasn’t ready to listen.“Drunk you say! What made you drink that you forgot your wedding on the line! You just ruined everything!” Her foster father, Simone snapped furiously.Then Rina was reminded of what happened for the past few weeks, catching her fiancé sleeping with her best friend, giving out
Rina slowly opened her eyes and discovered she was in another place, “Where am I? Arghh,” She muttered and sat up. Then the woman that helped her came in, “Oh you’re awake? I’m happy,” The woman said with a smile and gave her a cup of water.“Thank you,”She replied and collected it with shaky hands. “Thanks for bringing me here, I would have died in the cold weather if not for you, thanks,” She muttered after gulping down the water.“What really happened?” The woman asked when she saw Rina has relaxed a bit.“I’m pregnant that was why Mom chased me out, She’s not my mom anyways, it’s just so-“ Tears came out while the woman pat her gently on her back.The woman sigh deeply as she stare at Rina who was still crying pitifully, “How could someone that calls herself your mother do this to you especially when she knew you’re pregnant?! Cruel world!”“Don’t cry,” She told her “Let me get you food, you must be hungry, you eat for the baby,” The woman said and went to ahead to bring her fis

Rina asked and the old woman nod with a smile."He's barely just recovering٫ thanks for understanding me but is this how you’re going to keep living?

Adrianna was arranging her kid’s clothe, it been a while since she applied for the receptionist post and deep down in her mind she hopes she doesn’t get it so she won’t go back to where her pains started. “Humph!” She breathed out bitting her lower lips.Then a beeped on her phone made her jerk back to reality, she swipe to the message and a big shock appeared on her face. “Approved?” She asked talking to no one in particular “Wow! It was approved!” She suddenly found herself smiling.“Does this mean it might be accepted?” She shook her head to the thought “I don’t think so, I don’t even want to work in Gwen city,” She mumbled and resumed folding the clothe.Then her phone beeped once again, “Wh-“ her words got cut off when she checked the message, “Accept?” She almost screamed and her eyes narrowed.“I was accepted!”She jubilates but her face fell when she remembered the location, Gwen City.

Don’t tell me Dad called him? This is why I hate family doctors,” he shuttered and finally get down.“Welcome sir,” The staff greeted him with a bow but instead he simply walk away more like ignoring them. He walked into the mansion, the maids line up to give him his honor, they all bow despite the fact that he doesn’t care about that, he didn’t even spare them a glance. At that moment, all on his mind are ‘what was the doctor doing here?’ and ‘why did he called him over when no one likes him in this house?’ Those questions occupied his mind that he didn’t care about the st
