Maybe because no matter what I refuse, he is the only person who can make my heart beat. That's why I give in. Because it's not hard to love Rezoir; he looks dangerous outside, but he's the person you want to embrace each night. Yes, that is the effect of his presence. I looked at Aunty Luleng, who was still wiping her tears, even though it was hard to leave them. But there's also a sense of relief that this time... I won't bother them. Even if they are all in denial, I know that there is also a chance that they feel sorry for me. So he always looked at me, and I was thankful. Being away from my family on this island fills my heart with longing. "A-Aunty Luleng..." I called the old man, who was still crying. Today is the day we leave the island. Mark is also back, so Reign is back with us. His cousin Rouston has stayed here for three days, and now we are leaving. "Don't pay attention to old Azeria; I'm glad you're coming back." Aunt Luleng said. I looked at Rezoir; he was talking t
"I heard that you haven't named my nephew yet," he said, scratching his head. I blinked, and somehow I saw a resemblance to Reign. I smiled widely, tasting it."Rayver sounds good; how about the second name?" He didn't expect what I said. Before he could answer, his older brother arrived. He immediately looked down on his brother."Why don't you just create yours, so you can name it yourself?" My jaw dropped when he said this.“Rezoir!” I disobeyed him."Do you want it, brother?" was full of teasing that Rajiv returned to him."Rezoir Israel," I said emphatically as he took a step closer to Rajih."What are you doing here, huh?" "Are you checking my wife, little kid?” My shoulder dropped when it was not carried away by my threat."Sister Azeria," he called me."Huh?" was my answer."If you want to know all the nonsense about my brother, I'm a whore!" I couldn't help but laugh because Rezoir pinched his ear.“Get out!” Rezoir ordered."Laugh-yes! Leaving!” He immediately stepped toward
I know that saying sorry is not enough for them to forgive me. Lucas is right; if I ask for forgiveness, papa should be the one who has the right."You are not like this, Azeria!" "Is it because of that man?!” I don't want him to tell others what I did. I immediately separated from Red and looked at Lucas, his jaw set."It's my fault; I left him too. Lucas," I said, crying. "I-I left him as well." It's all my fault. Now that they say I only did that thing because of Rezoir, it hurts me. I closed my eyes. I knew what I had done was wrong. If I don't make them understand, they will never understand me. So I decided that to understand a person, one must first know their story. I took a deep breath, wiped my tears, and tried to calm down. I need to calm down because I'm still pregnant.I stared at the three of them. Even dimly, they understand me. It's still better for them to know my reason."I want to be here in Manila, not because I badly want to become independent," I said. "My mother
But it looks like the word "happy" is not for me. "W-what did you say, aunt?" I stammered. I looked at Uncle Andrius in confusion; his face was hard as he looked at the people in front of me. We were at a private restaurant, and I was hoping that all the problems would be over, but they weren't. I looked at Aunt Kiara; her eyes were still not on me. Just like his wife, his face was hard as he looked at the people in front of us. "Why don't you sit up first, Kia?" Aunt Serena stated. At the last minute, my relatives were still standing; they didn't even bother to sit down. They immediately showed me that what I expected to happen that day would not happen. "No need; we won't last long." You know this conversation is going nowhere. Aunt Kiara spoke sternly. I tried to approach Rezoir when Dalea grabbed my arm. "W-what are you doing?" I stammered. "Uncle!" I shouted to their eldest son, Papa, and uncle Andrius. "One more step, my niece... young man, I swear this is the last thing you
After the truth is revealed that day. I did nothing but cry and sulk in my room. Today is my third day; Papa came yesterday. Nana Roda told me that Papa was taking care of something, so he came just now. Even now, he doesn't know what's going on between our family and the Hillarcas. Yesterday my aunt and uncle returned to Manila; they left without talking to me. They tried to talk to me. But it's just me being stubborn; what I know is that Papa doesn't know anything yet. All he knows is that I'm pregnant, back at the hacienda, but no father is with me. I wiped the tears that escaped my eyes. Maybe what was coming into his mind was that maybe I should go home because he can't do it anymore. Now that I'm about to give birth, things like this happen, even though I have a problem. I don't neglect myself; I still sleep at the right time. Even though I feel a lot of stress, I always stay calm. I'm standing near the window; the stable can be seen from my room. My eyes were fixed on Rezoir
"P-papa..." I called him. He stepped closer to me. "Why are you crying?" he said with a frown. "M-Mama…" "What about your mom?" I cried. Even though I wasn't in Mama's stomach yet, she was carrying heavy things. when I saw the thing in my hand. "What’s that, Azeria?" Why are you here at this hour? "What did you look for?" I looked up at him. "Did aunt Serena try to talk to you, dad?" I said When he didn't speak, I knew his answer was yes. "I recall what she said... when I was a kid. He told me to look for Mama's letter that was stuck in her favorite story. I immediately handed the letter to him, which he immediately took. "And Mama didn't cheat on you; she just protected me. Protect us." He immediately opened the letter, and I watched him quietly read Mama's letter. He crumpled the letter when he finished reading the whole letter; his tears fell one by one. "M-Midori," she sobbed as she addressed Mama. Papa stared at me, still crying like me. "I-I'm so sorry...oh god! Even if they
While they were all messing around, I was getting cold with nervousness. They do not hesitate to call my name. Theo, who was joking earlier, is just as nervous as me. Rezoir, on the other hand, said something cheap in the panic. "Oh, my god! "I thought it was next week?!" Nana Roda's exclamation confused me. "The hospital is far away from this place!" Papa also spoke nervously. I screamed in pain. I was crying, and Rezoir almost ran and walked while crossing the garage. Where is the car? "I'll drive!" shouted Lucas. So Rezoir took me to the backseat, and some profanities slipped on his tongue. Lucas was running fast, and Rezoir was holding my hand tightly. "Everything will be fine, baby," he whispered sweetly in my ear. and lightly planted a kiss on the side of the lips. To be honest, I was nervous, but at my last check-up, Mark said that I and the baby were fine. Now that Rayver is coming out, I'm afraid of delivering him. "I-I'm scared..." I mumbled to him. "I'm here, baby. I
It took us four days in the hospital. Today is our day out, and I'm waiting for Rezoir because he said goodbye for a while. I looked at the Hillarcas maid and the wall clock hanging on the wall."Did your sir say?"I'm sure."O-poo, ma'am, he said we should go first. "Because someone else will take care of it," he said. I have never been to the hacienda Hillarca, so this is the first time I have seen the housekeeper.Even with hesitation, I nodded to him. But I stopped asking because he said Rezoir had told me not to. And after leaving the room, we went to the parking lot. Our car was waiting there; I didn't look at the driver's face.I feel exhausted. When I looked at my son, he was still fast asleep. So I couldn't help but smile."Let's go!" My son was taken aback by that maid's cry. Perhaps surprised by the shout, I looked sharply at the maid."What are you shouting at?" "Can't you see that my son is sleeping?" I was annoyed. But I was slightly surprised and stunned when he pointed a
