Lahat ng Kabanata ng The One He Never Put First.: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

*Flashback*"Pathetic. What is she? 16?"I hear the lady whose name I believe is Sandra whisper/yell from the other room as I look around for the bathroom. Left and then right, I let my mind remember. This place is huge, it's even bigger than his house. I walk further down the long corridor until I finally come across the right turn that leads me to the bathroom. I breathe a sigh of relief.It's only been a couple of hours and that's not even the worst thing she's said about us. I think, "She's just a plaything, he'll get over her soon enough," was just about the most hurtful, so far. Or maybe, "She's just with him for his money, he'll realize it." I can't decide.The conclusion here is that they really don't like me.I guess I didn't really expect them to but I wasn't also expecting to get so much hate from just meeting them. They haven't even bothered to get to know me, they're judging me off of my age and I think that's not fair.It sucks because I really like this guy. Yes he's a

*Flashback*"I love you but I hate that you're doing this to me."I say to my fiancé in frustration. I know there's no turning back now but that still won't stop me from being annoyed and complaining about it."All you're doing is going to dinner with your future husband's family, I don't get what's so painful about that.""Oh I don't know, maybe just the simple fact that said family happens to be a bunch of your ex-wives who would rather not have me breathing the same air as them."I say to him only half joking."Babe, they just need to get used to you. And how are they going to do that if they never see you?"I decide not to respond to that to not ensue another argument. I've been meeting them for quite a while now and they still treat me the same, like I'm an intruder. He knows this but he keeps on defending them. It's getting old and irritating. They are grown-ups and they need to act like it.I don't tell him all that though. I instead ask him,"Do they know?"I'm pretty sure the

Aaron Miller was a prodigy.Even though he was known not to be messed with, he was one of the most generous beings in the country. He had countless charitable organizations on his payroll and he always did the best that he could to help out where he could.Mrs. Sinclair knew this very well. This was because she had done extensive research on the man. This was the man her daughter had run away with and she needed to know who he really was, if she had more things she needed to worry about.Even though she hated the man, she couldn't help but go through all the good he'd done in his community and the world. She'd been in awe despite her heart not wanting her to be at how incredible he seemingly was.But that still didn't overall change her true feelings about him. She hated him, more than words could ever express. Because of him, she wasn't ever able to see her daughter turn into a woman. She never got to send her to college and see her cry uncontrollably at the fact that she was going t

"Mr. Miller, any comments on today's potential verdict?""Mr. Miller, will you be divorcing your wife after this case?""Mr. Miller, do you think your ex-wife will get jail time?""No she won't."That was something he knew for certain. The mother of his son was not going to be arrested. He knew though that answering the press was a bad idea because it only encouraged them to ask more questions. So he was hardly surprised when,"Mr. Miller...""Mr. Miller...""Mr. Miller..."He had to shut them out, all of them. For his sanity.He had a clue on what the verdict was going to be, and he knew he was definitely not going to divorce his wife but he unfortunately couldn't say the same for the girl. He knew he was going to fight though, he was going to fight for her even if it was the last thing he did. The situation they were in was beyond complicated but just like every hardship they'd ever been through, they'd get through it. They always did."Are you ready Aaron?"He wasn't. Not even in t

Wait.Is what they were told to do.Mrs. Sinclair paced around the corridor of the familiar hospital ignoring her husband's desperate attempt to calm her down, there was no way at all that she could be free from stress in that moment, she was in complete agony.Why? Because it was all her fault, at least that was what she kept telling herself. The doctors warned that putting her under a lot of stress might do more harm than good to her already compromised state and she simply didn't listen. She just had to get revenge, and because of that her daughter's life was in danger. Again.Her daughter's life was in danger, because of something that ultimately proved to be useless.She knew very well that the system didn't quite cater much for people who looked like them, especially not against affluential beings like Aaron Miller. Shame on her for having faith and hoping that the system would prove her wrong, but an even bigger shame on her for ever thinking that her ex-son-in-law cared even t
