Se connecterI sat in the car, staring blankly outside. I sighed. I looked at the hospital again in front of me. I didn’t know how Arzhel would react later. But aside from that, I didn’t even know how to tell him that I needed to stay with Adrian for a while. That would be ridiculous. I would take care of ano
“Wait here,” I told the two security guards who escorted me to the hospital. They nodded. Arzhel still didn’t know that I had security with me every time I went out. It was Veronica’s idea. I twisted the doorknob slowly. I looked at Jessica, who just stood and came closer to me. James was sleepin
It’s been a week. We’re staying in Arzhel’s house. And Jarred was nowhere to be found. After he was seen in the hospital, no one knew his whereabouts. We couldn’t track him anymore. We didn’t even know if he was still in Los Angeles, but we didn’t want to get too comfortable. We still assumed he w
“What happened?” Arzhel asked the moment I entered the room and leaned on the wall to breathe. I gulped and blinked. I smiled. “I need to use the bathroom,” I reasoned. Arzhel chuckled. “Don’t they have a bathroom there?” he joked. I already started walking to the bathroom. “I was already in

“Daddy Arzhel!” she shouted excitedly. I didn’t stop myself from biting my lips while hoping that Arzhel wouldn’t get mad at what Arriana called him. I looked at him. He seemed unbothered though. He just flashed a smile and handed the stuffed toy to Arriana. “Just like what I promised last night
I didn’t sleep in my own room last night. I lay beside Arriana so I could also monitor her fever. When she woke up the next morning, the first person she looked for was Arzhel. “Mommy, where’s daddy Arzhel?” she asked me using a sad and disappointed tone. She was also pouting a little. I blinked
When she tasted the soup, we both waited for her reaction. She closed her eyes while tasting it. Then she opened them with wide eyes. Her lips started to form a big smile. “This is the best soup ever,” she said, with energy this time. I smiled at my daughter’s reaction. Meanwhile, I saw Arzhel lo
He was busy pouring another shot. I was just looking at him. Not at his hand, but at his face, hair, and jaw. When I looked at his eyes, I saw him already looking at me while drinking the shot of tequila. I looked away right away, which made me look stupid because I looked like someone who was caug
