SYNOPSIS. “Live long, dear ex-husband, for you will regret every pain that I went through.” Dragging her feet outside the mansion of the man who just served her divorce paper, in the pool of her own blood, she vowed. === There was no single thing Elena would not do to make her husband look at her with affection in his eyes and love her but even after three years of marriage, Zeke never saw her as a woman. When he presented a divorce paper to her even after she caught him cheating on her with her best friend, she knew that it was over, but still, she had tried to save her marriage. But, when she banged on her husband’s door as he had sex with another woman like crazy that night, blood oozing out of her, she made up her mind to never forgive him. SIX YEARS LATER… Elena and Zeke met at an event after party that was hosted in her honor, and he walked up to her. “Elena.” She raised her shoulders and laughed. “Who are you?”

I wanted her to know that she has me.”“Oh, Nathan.”“You might not know but Natalie loved her hair so much.”How would she not know that? She knew very well how her daughter used to spend extra time combing her hair and styling it by herself.The girl had watched many tutorials online on how to style her hair and she had been doing a great job at it.“You used a razor?” Elena asked Nathan with a slight smile.“Shaving stick. I took it from Grandpa’s room,” he smiled back.Elena smiled at him, cupped his cheeks, and then pulled him into a hug again.“Don’t do something like this next time without telling me first, okay?”His little arms wrapped around his mother’s neck, he nodded his head, and then answered, “I won’t, Mommy.”The hug broke gently and he bore his eyes into hers, “Can I meet her? Aunt
Brenda halted abruptly when an empty can of soda flew in her direction and then swallowed hard. She clasped her hand gently in front of her and then moved over to the couple finally.“Hi. It has been a while,” she forced a smile, her palms getting sweaty.Instead, Jay turned to look at Chloe who stood closely beside her mother, and then asked. “What is going on?”“Father,” she smiled and bowed gently.“We… we heard about Natalie. Mum wanted to see her so I brought her along.”“Natalie is not meeting anyone,” he hissed and then turned away from them.“Please!” Brenda exclaimed.“She is not meeting anyone! The doctor's orders, so I’d suggest that you leave here.”Brenda disentangled her hand, moved over to him, and then sniffed. “Mr. Baskerville.”When the man did not answer and only moved over to his wife, she dropped her head and then sniffed.How was she going to beg these people?How was she going to convince them that she meant well and nothing less?Slowly, the door pushed open an
Zeke stared at the old couple who stood side by side beside themselves and then turned to look at Jeremy before they shook their heads in synchronicity.“Y… you are her parents?” He asked, practically for the hundredth time.But still, the resemblance was so clear! He could tell just by looking at the woman that she was Camila’s mother and they have a striking resemblance.But… this was not the people Camila introduced to his family months ago as her parents…“I am sorry, but we have been introduced to her parents… and it was not you. But… could you…”“Camila introduced to you other people as her parents?” The woman cut him short with snapped brows.“That brat!” The man snapped spitefully.“I knew she was going to do whatever she wanted! No wonder we couldn’t reach her any longer,” he added.“We are her biological parents,” the woman said to Zeke and Jeremy, and then the men turned to look at each other again.“How do you prove that?” Jeremy asked.The older man exhaled and palmed his
“Hospital? Is there a problem with Natalie?” Jeremy’s sudden question took Zeke by surprise that he turned to look at him and then shook his head. “Not Natalie,” he said and then peeked to see his mother and Chloe who were still talking. “Then?” “It’s Camila.” Jeremy raised his brows and smacked his tongue. “Camila? Why?” “A nurse… or whoever just called and told me to come. She was found unconscious by some bridge, they said.” “Are you going?” Jeremy asked. Zeke returned his phone to his pocket and nodded his head. “I should.” “I will go with you.” “You?” Zeke chucked. Jeremy rolled his eyes “Why? You don’t want me to?” Ever since they settled their differences with each other, they had been struggling to act more casual and free with each other. Unlike before when Jeremy had no mouth filter and could talk whatever he wanted simply because he didn’t want to come off as weak to his brother, he had gotten more solemn. And fortunately, to his greatest surprise, he had not e
“Natalie has cancer?” Jeremy repeated his question and stood from the couch.Zeke had decided to tell his family about Natalie and this was because they were going to know sooner or later. At first, he thought of keeping them in the dark till the surgery was over but it was in fact, still a miracle that it has not piqued the Internet’s interest yet.His mother widened her eyes and covered her mouth with her palm.“Y… your daughter?”“I thought you all deserved to know… before the surgery takes place. I will be her donor.”“Oh, God!” Chloe slapped her forehead and shook her head.“How did I not know?!”She had not seen or heard of Elena in a while and right now, she felt so horrible that she was quite neglectful of her.“She has acute leukemia so I will be donating my bone marrow.”Chloe moved over to him and wrapped her hands around his arms.“W… will she be fine? C… cancer…” She broke into tears and tightened her grip on his arm.Zeke patted her back and watched as she broke down in
When Elena stared at Zeke who smiled mischievously, and realized what she had said and how it must have sounded, she shook her head.“I am serious. Your body does not belong to you now. It’s mine. Every inch of you.”REALLY?!“No… no, I did not mean it that way,” she waved her hands at him.Instead, Zeke nodded his head, his lips tugged to a smile.“I am serious. I did not mean it that way. I only meant that… uhm, your body needs to be taken care of as it is not entirely yours for now.”“I know, okay? It’s mine and yours,” he chuckled.“Only for now!” She snapped.“I don’t mind till eternity.”Elena smacked her tongue and picked up her spoon again. “You may have forgotten, but I have no. Only. For. Now. I don’t care what you do to your body after the surgery,” she said in a quite harsh way that he twitched his lips upward.“I know,” he nodded his head and then picked up his spoon after exchanging glances with her.Elena breathed out and then stood up, her chair making quite a noise.“
“Congratulations!”Elena turned to look at Zeke as the doctor said and then widened her eyes.“Is he a match?!”When the doctor smiled and answered, Elena let out a short scream, turned to look at Zeke, and then picked up his hands.“You are a match!”Zeke smiled and nodded his head in excitement. “I am so happy to hear this!”The doctor watched them as they squealed in joy for a while before he proceeded.“I am happy for you too.”“So what is the next step?” Elena asked.“As planned, the surgery will take place in the next four weeks, and while we prepare, there are things for you to take note of IF you really want to do this for your daughter,” he turned to look at Zeke.“Me?”“There are certain things you must do and avoid as a donor. First, get enough rest. Like, a lot. There will be a screening process to know about your sleeping schedule and some eligibility criteria like medical history, physical examination, and all, and if by chance you have an underlying medical issue, you m
As soon as they got to the hospital, they arrived at the ward first where her family were waiting outside.When they saw Zeke, they went mute and only stared at the huge man who stood behind Elena.“Greetings to you, mother, father… Ariana,” he bowed gently and then clasped his hands in front of him.Jay grunted and looked away from him with a hiss and Karina nodded her head at him, acknowledging his greetings.Ariana turned around too and returned to look at Natalie from the glass.“C… can I see her?” Zeke sniffed and asked.“Later. Meet the doctor first,” she said and he nodded his head.They both turned away from their family and then walked away, heading to the doctor’s office.===It’s been several minutes after the test and the couple sat in the doctor’s office to wait for him to return and there, Zeke occasionally glanced at the woman who looked worried beside him.“Is the result coming out immediately?” He asked her.She turned to look at him and shook her head. “No. It will t
It had taken Elena everything in her to deliver the news to the man who stood astounded in front of her. Three days ago, the doctor had backed up his claim with the result that Natalie indeed has Leukemia. He proceeded to tell them that the lymphoid cells that had turned into leukemic cells had reproduced many new cancer cells in her body. Which eventually overwhelmed the bone marrow, spilled out into the bloodstream, and spread to other organs. According to him, she needed to undergo treatment instantly before it got uncontrollable, and there, Elena had told the doctor she would be her daughter’s donor. The doctor said to her that they would need to carry out a test to know if she would be a match first and while they were at it, her parents including Ariana decided to get tested too, hoping that one of them would be a match. However, a while back… he returned with the result. #FLASHBACK# “I am sorry to inform you that none of you is a potential match for being a donor,” he ann
