After I got out of the bathroom, I expected to see Hezekiah in my room but there was no trace of him entering here. I went downstairs to check his car at the garage, but before I could, I already saw him in front of the mini-bar. My heart starts pounding. I couldn't take my eyes off his strong shoulders and those protruded veins in his bicep while I was facing his side. I sighed before fixing my nighties and walked towards me. "Drinking alone?" I faced him and pulled the glass of vodka and drank it. I loudly placed it onto the table and fought his stares. The light was dim but I could clearly see the gleam and the heat in those orbs that was silently killing me. Oh, damn! I missed him so much. Hezekiah pursed his lips, "Why aren't you sleeping yet? You need to be early for work tomorrow." He averted his eyes and poured vodka in the glass. I bit my bottom lip then painted a small smile. "Nope, I think I won't go to work tomorrow

I was staring blankly at the twilight ocean while sitting at a big rock. Like the ocean, my heart was also filled with darkness and gloom. I didn't want everything to be complicated, so even if it hurts, I chose to go away and hide my pregnancy from Hezekiah. I guess it's not important for him to know about the truth. This is the right time for me to love myself and focus on my baby instead. I'll just worry about tomorrow and the coming days when it comes. I pulled my phone from the pocket of my dress and dialed mom's number. "Hello, Meredith? How's your vacation?" I didn't answer. I bit my lower lip to stop myself from crying. If there is one person that could understand what I'm going through right now, it would be none other than Mom. But I tried not to mention my situation to her. "I'm fine, Mom." I softly said. "We miss you so much, hija. When will you be back?" "Maybe, next week. I have something for you!"

"How are you, you went late, huh?" He put two beers on the table and sat in front if me inside the cottage."I just worked overtime. Are the kids asleep?"He seemed to not believe my reason because his eyes went to my swollen lips."Yes, they have school tomorrow."Silence ensued between us."Is it about Emory?"My jaw clenched as I drank off the bottle of beer I'm holding."You won't come here at this late hour if you're problem is not that heavy," he said.I only shook my head and continued drinking."Come on, it's just women. Why don't you leave the other one? Problem solved!" I heard him chuckle before holding his own bottle of beer .I chuckled, if only it's that easy, I would've done that before."Why? Do you love both?"I licked my lips, not knowing what to answer, "You have a lot of questions." A smile appeared on my lips because of his nosiness."I'm serious. I know you love someone more that the other."I shook my head on him. "If

Carrying the bottle of wine and long glass, I walked my way to his cabin. I know the risk of taking this chance, but I have to do this to clear things out. What's about to happen may exceed my expectations, but I don't want to worry about it now. Clad with the tiny speck of courage left in me, I raised my hand to knock on his door. The door opened and I saw shock registered on his face when he saw me but composed himself right after. "Uh, I–I ah..." I quickly raised the bottle of wine and the long glass. Instead of saying anything, he just got the bottle and glass from me. He pulled the door close which made me step back... "Didn't you enjoy your wine?" His voice flowed calmly. My breathing hitched as he stepped closer, not wanting to be inches apart. "Yeah, we need to talk." I finally said. We're now facing each other in front of the small table of his cottage. He poured himself a glass of wine and took it all in one g

"What time is the ribbon cutting again?"I was talking about the opening of the Jewelry shop Hezekiah built. He also invited me to the mall in Manila that just got finished, but I couldn't go because it's too far. I decided to just go to the new branch of the company because it doesn't sit right that I couldn't attend this event, too."10 am in the morning, so may you still have time to think about it again." She rolled her eyes and stood up."Come on, Zuay! I know it's not you..." I teased. Even if she said that she hates Hezekiah, I know she's still hoping for us to get back together again."Tss... I better go back to work." She turned around and and left my office.After she closed the door, I leaned my back against the chair. I gently caressed my baby bump and closed my eyes.He shouldn't find out about my pregnancy. Not because I don't want to give him his rights as a father, but because I'm scared of the result once he found out.
