With what Andrea had done, the rest of the Castigado decided to leave the party. It wasn’t in a rude way, they parted with the Virmich’s approval. Now the girls were leaving the party disappointed that they could not flex their dresses well enough. It’s mostly Jennie who is whining and ranting.“Why the hell would Andrea embarrass herself like that?” Jennie asked, irritated at the fact that they have to go home. “And did we really heard it right? Stella is pregnant?”“You heard it right, Jennie. Now, shut up. You’re too noisy!” Verna was mad. It’s not because they are being sent home or the fact that Stella was pregnant, she’s mad because Andrea forced it out on Stella to announce it to everyone.Verna saw how Jason and Charles’ world turned but she focused on Jason and he was hellish. That reaction is a devil’s reaction when there’s something he wants and he can’t have.“Jason looked really terrifying earlier,” Marie suddenly uttered catching Verna’s attention. “I have never seen him

In the morning, Stella had so much visitor coming in their room. First she had three sweeties coming in the room and giving her breakfast. While she was at it, the elderly came, Felius and Crolletta giving her some advises and offering her a lot of things. After them was Charles’ parents and the list went on.“You see?” Charles chuckled, crawling back to bed with her. “They don’t blame you for anything. In fact they are all happy that there’s a baby here soon. I am the most happy person in the whole world since last night.”“But aren’t they taking care of me too much?” she asked. “I mean I like it but they’re doing too much. I don’t have a baby bump yet!”“Oh let them be, baby! They’re just excited like I am!” Charles suddenly put his head on her stomach. “I hope he or she can hear me. I hope my child knows we are all happy.”Stella then softly chuckle at how Charles is acting right now. To see him like this brings tears to her eyes. Oh it feels like a dream, something too good to be

***The next morning, Stella woke up without Charles in bed. She got off the bed and searched for him but even his case was not there. Did he leave super early? She asked herself.“It must really be a big problem I caused,” Stella murmured.For breakfast, Stella head downstairs and saw them waiting for her. Crolletta, Charles’ mother Emilia and the rest of the aunts were there together with Verna. She was a bit shy to face them again.At the dining table, they talked about her pregnancy and about getting her a doctor that’s in the city. Of course, she needed to refuse since Doctor Akira has been great to her and Stella didn’t want to replace her good doctor.“But, my dear! There are family doctors that are more convenient in need of--”“With all due respect, grandma, I don’t think I’ll be comfortable with them like I’m comfortable with my current doctor,” she interrupted. It is a bit rude of her to not let Crolletta finish but … it’s absurd to change doctors.Crolletta took a deep bre

It was a boring afternoon when Jenkins decided that he wants to drive around the city. He was just about to descend the staircase when he remembers Stella. A smirk then formed his mouth marching towards Charles’ door. As soon as Jenkins was in front of the door, he raises his fist and knock five times. He always knock on the doors five times. There’s just something about the three times that he hates the most and so he made it five.Just some moments later, the door opened revealing Stella’s unhappy face. Jenkins’ smirk immediately faded and as soon as it did, Stella flashes him a smile. But he notices the wiped tears on the corner of her eyes, her lashes were even wet to begin with.“Is this a bad timing?” he asked.“No, no, why would you think that?” She even chuckled but he knows better of those wet lashes. “Nothing. Just your voice seems disheartened or maybe it is just my boredom.” He faked a giggle, beaming at her. “Would you like to come with me?”“Where to?” Looks like he g

Charles had a long day and a surprise freakin’ visit from Andrea. What he hated is the fact that she was acting too friendly, too clingy, hugging him all of a sudden. He has to break away without acting like an asshole. Why did he even put himself in this stupid situation?Like he always was, Charles got home late, around two in the morning. This was always his ideal go home time; even sometimes he doesn’t go home but to his condo near his company or worse he stays in his office. But it’s different when Stella’s in the picture.As soon as he got inside their room, he closed the door softly to avoid waking Stella up. It’s not like she could hear it but still, it was better not to risk her sleep.Just when he turned around and enter the doorway to their bedroom, he pauses when he saw who kept the lamp on and off. Stella, looking like one of those ghosts in a horror film.“Jeez, baby!” He held a hand on his chest. “What are you doing and awake? It’s late.”“Yes, it’s late.” She finally
