"Penny of your thoughts?" Albert's voice dragged him out from deep thoughts. His brother was looking at him. He was staring at him as if he was wondering why suddenly, he was silent. "Is there something wrong?" Albert asked again when he didn't respond to him. He looked at his brother's eyes and smiled. He didn't notice that his mind wandered again and he quietly cursed himself. He didn't know why all of a sudden he was thinking about Elizabeth when in fact, he got rid of her in his life. He shook his head. "Nothing, bro. I am sorry.So, what did your secretary want to have? Did you already have an order?" He asked his brother, trying to hide the embarrassment that he was feeling. He felt his cheek were hot because of being caught by his brother staring blankly. He didn't even notice that Albert was already done talking to Ellie and he had his orders already. Charles couldn't figure out why there were strange emotions that were starting to fill hi
Elizabeth didn't notice that she had already dozed off. Since she got pregnant, she easily feels tired and sleepy. She just laid herself down on the couch while waiting for Albert to return but suddenly she felt her eyelids feeling heavy so she closed her eyes and she didn't notice that she already fell asleep. She felt a bit of pain in her back because of the position she had while sleeping on the couch. Next time, she should be more careful. She looked around the room when she woke up because she noticed that the room had been quiet for some time and she saw Albert was not on his desk. She checked the time on her wrist watch and she saw that it was already lunch time and she felt her stomach growling inside as well. She took her phone inside her bag and then immediately called Albert to check where he was or if he had already had his lunch. It took a couple of rings before the call got finally connected. It seemed that the man was busy. Did he already start to work? As f
"Thank you for dropping me home," Elizabeth said after Albert opened the car door for her. Albert guided her until she was able to come out of the car. He smiled at her showing his perfect white teeth. Inside her mind, she couldn't help but compare the two men. They were related by blood but Albert was so different from Charles. The man was a gentleman and she couldn't believe all the things that he was doing towards her. Since they went to the Jones Corporation, the man was treating her like a fragile object and he looked like he was so afraid that she would get hurt or what. The man was so protective of her, maybe because he knew that she had the baby of his half-brother inside her. She felt a pinch in her heart because of the thought that it was supposed to be Charles who was on her side, who was making her feel loved and protected but the man shut her out of his life the same day that she discovered that their child was starting to grow inside her. Suddenly, s
"Thank you, Dad. I don't know what to say. I am sorry if you are seeing me like this but I know I should be able to do it. Please, don't worry about me," Elizabeth mumbled as she tightly hugged her father. She knew that her father was also hurting as much as she was in pain because of her situation. But, she didn't want him to get involved with her heart problem. "You are the best dad in the world. I am sorry if I am choosing to do this on my own and I know that you understand me,," she added. "I know. I know, dear. I just want you to know that even if I am away from you, I am always here for you. Just take care of yourself and your baby," her father said after he separated himself from her. It has been a while since her father left and she must admit that was the reason why she needed to be strong but now that she knew that her father was there for her, she felt that she got stronger knowing that she had someone to help her. After all she did three ye
Charles stepped out of the car and then he opened the door for her. He received a call from Elaine. She was asking for him to accompany her to the hospital because she was having her prenatal checkup. Though he couldn't understand why Elaine didn't tell him ahead of time, being a first time father, he was so happy to know that his child was healthy. Yes, it's the first time for him to know early that he was going to be a father. That there's a little life inside Elaine. She was carrying his heir. No matter who the woman was, he didn't care because he was glad that finally, he would be a father soon. He couldn't explain the feeling that he had inside of him because of the great news that Elaine had told him. He felt like he was the luckiest man in the world the moment she said that she was pregnant. He didn't know whether to punch the wall because of happiness or jump in joy because finally, his dream to become a father finally came true and he couldn't ask for more. He was tha
Elizabeth couldn't find the words to say. She couldn't even open her mouth when she learned to whom the box came from. The sender of the box was no other than Albert. She couldn't help but smile when she saw what was inside of the big box. She couldn't help but feel excited to go to the banquet because of the stuff that Albert had sent to her. It seemed that the man was really looking forward to this banquet and he seemed not to be that ready because he was prepared. He seemed to be prepared for everything that was happening. A pair of sandals with an inch heel and a colour black dress. She put it next to herself and the length almost reached her ankle. It had a slit which was approximately six to ten inch above her knee. It was an off-shoulder dress and it would reveal her silky and fair skin. She couldn't help but wonder if it was Albert who chose the dress for her. She loved everything that was inside the box. "Wow! This just looked beautiful," Nanny Maria's voi
Albert stood up when he saw Elizabeth going down the staircase. He held his breath to see the woman walk down. He knew that the stuff he sent were beautiful and elegant but he didn't expect this would make Elizabeth look enchanting. She looked so alluring with the black off-shoulder dress. The one inch heels were just perfect for her. He could say that he wasn't mistaken to choose the dress that she was wearing because it gave emphasis to her silky fair skin which can be compared to a milk. He shook his head while Elizabeth was walking towards him. He couldn't help not to be mesmerized with the beauty of the woman. "God, you look so beautiful tonight," he said as he couldn't hold himself to give compliments to the woman. His eyes showed his admiration for Elizabeth. "Just tonight?" Elizabeth answered in a teasing tone. He smiled. "You look even more beautiful tonight, is that good enough?" He said while he shook his head. Elizabeth smiled so s
Elizabeth held Albert's forearm tightly. She didn't want Elaine and Charles to see that she was shocked so she tried to do her best to hide the surprise she suddenly felt after hearing what Albert just said. "Sir, finally, you are already here. The party is about to start and the host of the event is just waiting for your arrival," Daniel's voice interrupted the intensity that was about to rise between the two groups. He was looking at them for a couple of seconds before Albert broke the silence. Elizabeth thanked Daniel in her mind for saving her at that moment because she didn't know how to react with what Albert had said. She knew that Albert was helping her but she really didn't have any idea what plan he had. They never got the chance to talk about it because of all the things that started to happen since he was introduced to the board members of the Jones Holders. "Well, that's great then. Let's get inside," Albert said. The man acted as if nothing
