Umaga pa lang, ramdam na agad ang init ng araw na tumatama sa puting kurtina ng beach villa. Dumadaan ang sinag ng araw sa pagitan ng mga kurtina, humahaplos sa kama kung saan magkatabing natutulog sina Elise at Sofia. Mula sa veranda, maririnig ang tunog ng alon na sumasalpok sa buhangin, halo sa mahinang tawanan ng mga taong naglalakad sa tabing-dagat.

Si Gabriel, gising na, suot ang white linen shirt, habang gumagawa ng kape sa maliit na kitchenette. Medyo gusot pa ang buhok niya pero grabe, kahit ganun, ang gwapo pa rin.

Biglang kumilos si Sofia, nag-unat, at bumulong,

“Mommy?”

“Hmm?” sagot ni Elise, mahina pa ang boses.

“Can I have a baby brother?”

Napadilat si Elise, tuluyang bumangon. “Ha?! Saan mo naman narinig ‘yan?”

“Eh kasi,” sabi ni Sofia habang kinukuskos ang mata niya, “si Enzo sa school may baby brother. Sabi niya masaya daw kasi may kalaro siya palagi. Ako wala eh.”

Napaubo si Gabriel habang nakikinig — halos matapon niya ‘yung kape niya sa tawa.

  • THE CEO WHO LEFT ME PREGNANT   Chapter 40: “The Man Who Returned”

    ELISE’S POVlang araw narin na tahimik ang buhay namin thanks to Gab medyo nababawasan yung stress ko kay tatay at hindi na rin sya nag paparamdam sa amin. Pauwi kami galing sa ospital may lagnat kasi si Sofie at inu-ubo tahimik lang dapat ang buong araw ko.Tahimik lang dapat. Gabi na noon, kagagaling lang namin ni Sofia sa check-up. Pagod siya, nakahiga sa sofa, habang ako nagpapainit ng gatas niya. Everything felt normal — peaceful, kahit saglit lang.Pero may kutob ako na may mang yayaring masama.Yung tipong may parang naka limutan ka, o may nang yari na hndi mo ma alala, ewan ba mabigat yung pakiramdam ko, tila may hangin na dumaan sa batok ko parang warning. I brushed it off. “Pagod ka lang, Elise,” bulong ko sa sarili ko.Pagbalik ko sa sala, I froze.May lalaking nakaupo sa tabi ni Sofia.Nakangiti.Para bang walang nangyari.Para bang hindi niya ako iniwan na para bang hindi siya nag cheat sa akin.“Hi, baby girl…”My blood turned cold.No.No.Not him.Not now.“Daniel?” ha

  • THE CEO WHO LEFT ME PREGNANT   Chapter 39: Were done, Marianne.

    GABRIEL’S POVI thought today would be just another exhausting day at the office—meetings, reports, plans. Pero paglapak ko pa lang ng elevator sa executive floor, ramdam ko na kaagad yung tensyon sa paligid. Ang mga staff hindi maka tingin sa akin, ano na naman kayang gulo ito.And ayun na nga.Nakatayo si Marianne sa harap ng pintuan ng office ko. Nakakurba ang ngiti niya—yung peke, yung pang-model look na lagi niyang bina-barter para sa sympathy ng lalaki. I know her for years pero hindi ito ang Marianne na kilala ko, nag bago na siya. Dire-diretso lang ako sa table at hindi siya pinansin“Gab…” Mahinang tawag niya.Kumunot noo ko. “Akala ko ba… aalis ka na? Didn’t you say you’re going back abroad?” Yes abroad that's what I heard from the staff yesterday.Yung ngiti niya lalo pang lumambot, like she was about to cry.“I changed my mind. Kasi… ikaw pa rin.”Ah, here we go again.“Marianne,” I sighed, rubbing my temple. “You left. You disappeared. Hindi ako naghahanap. Hindi ako nagh

  • THE CEO WHO LEFT ME PREGNANT   Chapter 38: Retaliation and Reckoning

    Gabriel didn’t sleep that night.He sat in his home office, the faint city lights reflecting on the glass window, his jaw clenched and his hand gripping a folder marked “CONFIDENTIAL.”Lucas entered quietly, placing a cup of black coffee beside him.“Sir, here’s everything you asked for — screenshots, transaction records, and the message thread between Elise and Elias.”Gabriel nodded, eyes dark and cold.“Good. File the official complaint. I want that bastard nowhere near Elise or Sofia again.”Lucas hesitated. “Sir, what about Marianne?”Gabriel looked up, a dangerous smirk forming on his lips.“She’s next.”Pagkagising ni Elise, parang mabigat ang dibdib niya. Si Sofia ay mahimbing pa ring natutulog sa tabi niya, pero kahit papano, nakahinga siya nang kaunti.For the first time in weeks, she wasn’t hiding. Gabriel made sure of that.Pagbaba niya sa sala, naroon na si Gabriel, nakasuot ng simple white shirt, coffee mug in hand.“Morning,” he greeted softly.“Morning,” she replied, v

  • THE CEO WHO LEFT ME PREGNANT   Chapter 37: Shadows, Threats, and Unwanted Manipulations

    Elise barely slept the whole night.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Sofia’s scared little face, Elias looming over her, and that cold, calculated smile of Marianne flashing in her mind.Ngunit kahit gaano siya natakot, kahit gaano siya napagod, hindi siya nag-atras. Hindi niya pwedeng pabayaan si Sofia.Tumayo siya sa sala ng condo, tinitingnan ang maliit na silid ni Sofia.“Mommy’s here, baby,” bulong niya, hinahaplos ang buhok ng anak.Sofia clung to her, mumbling, “I don’t want lolo…”“I know, love, I know.”Meanwhile, Marianne was in a luxurious café, sipping her latte, naka-smile pero may mala-sly glint sa mata.“Finally,” she whispered to herself. “I’ll make them crumble.”Her phone buzzed. It was Elias.“Text ko na ulit si Elise. Magpapadala ka ba ng pera o hindi?”She smirked. “Let’s see how far this goes.”Elise’s phone wouldn’t stop buzzing. Every few hours, it was Elias. Panay demands, panay death threats, panay pagmamanipula.“Nasaan na ang pera?Padalhan mo ako nga

  • THE CEO WHO LEFT ME PREGNANT   Chapter 36: Shadows from the Past

    Tahimik ang opisina. Too quiet.Pagkapasok ni Elise, agad niyang napansin ang kakaibang atmosphere — parang may tension sa paligid nito. Lahat ng empleyado, either nakatingin sa kanya o umiwas ng tingin. Kinakabahan siya pero hindi niya alam kung bakit.Naka-coffee na siya, ready na for the day, nang biglang dumating si Gabriel, halatang puyat at iritable.“Elise, in my office. Now.”Ay, putik. Ano na naman ‘to?Pagpasok niya, tahimik si Gabriel, hawak ang phone, tapos binagsak ‘to sa mesa.“Do you know about this?”Kinuha ni Elise ang phone. Naka-flash sa screen ang news article — “Former convict released after serving 8 years — identified as businessman Elias Ramos.”Nangalumbaba ang mukha ni Elise, halos mawalan ng kulay.“T-Tatay ko…” mahina niyang sabi.“Yes,” sabi ni Gabriel, mabigat ang tono. “At guess what? He was seen near your old apartment this morning.”Napaatras siya. “Hindi… imposibleng pumunta siya doon. Wala na kami ro’n—”“Elise.” Tinitigan siya ni Gabriel, matalim pe
