“She’s dead, Hailey. She— She was shot.”I was depressed and couldn’t immediately answer what he said. I lost the courage to speak. At the same time as I took a deep breath, my tears fell.“Everything is a mess right now, Hailey. T-The company’s now . . . u-under Callum’s name. I-I don’t know how did it happened. Dad said he tricked him. A-And Daddy . . . Daddy was the one behind what happened to Callum’s parents. Daddy . . . h-he killed them . . .”I cried hard when I heard that. I couldn’t even accept the last word Ate Kiana spoke to me.“N-No. . .” I whispered. I tried to deny what I found out. I tried to put aside that this was Callum’s goal now.“Zild and I found out that . . . he supposed to marry me because I am the real daughter. Or even the first daughter. But he thought you were my parents real daughter. I talked to Justin, h-he said, Callum was supposed to marry me so he was surprised that he saw you. Because he knew I’m an only daughter. But was wrong when he saw you inste

“Ate . . . I’m pregnant. What s-should I do?” I said while crying, I lowered my head thinking what to do because to be honest, I really don’t know what to do next now.We left. I left him, for real. I can’t seem to accept that I left him. But the pain will continue if I don’t. My parents did something horrible to his family, and he did the same to my family. So I don’t know if we can continue or stay with each other without thinking about what happened. The pain is excruciating and can’t bear anymore.Ate Kiana’s eyes looking at me were full of sadness, anger, and sympathy. I tried to be strong but I know to myself that I couldn’t. Hindi ako kagaya ni Ate Kiana.“Dad is in jail now. He has many cases to face. Moreover, he owed a lot of money that he still can’t pay. The company is now under Callum’s name so he has no claim anymore.” Ate Kiana informed. “Callum doesn’t know that . . . you are not the real son of Mommy and Daddy. I mean, he had no idea that you were Mommy’s sister’s dau

“Hestia Clariz!” I shout to call my daughter, who is hopping and running inside the airport. She’s very energetic, and I don’t have any idea where her energy is coming from since we’re both tired. I’m getting exhausted from taking care of her every day because of her energy, but I don’t want to give up on her because she’s my daughter. There’s no other person who will take care of her but me, because I am her mother.“Mommy! Mommy!” She chanted as she run towards my direction.When she came to a stop in front of me, she was already sweating profusely. I took a towel from her bag and wiped her sweat on her face, neck, and forehead. She was running inside the big space in the airport, and she's sweating so much when she runs towards me. She's still energetic, but you can still see how tired she is through her eyes.“I saw people, Mommy. Cutie unifolm.” It sucks hearing her saying a word with “R” in it. She still stutters in that letter so sometimes I laugh at her words.She really is g

CHAPTER 33The past days were so hard for me. Hestia asked me more and more questions about her daddy. I don't have anything else to answer, so I better change the conversation between the two of us. It's a good thing that Callum didn't attend the meeting on my first day at the company because he had an urgent meeting somewhere. Hestia is also staying at the mansion even though I feel that she is not yet comfortable with her new babysitter.After a week, Hestia got used to her new life here in the Philippines. She is getting used to the climate and her new babysitter. She adopted the place very well and so fast. So I didn't have any trouble with her.“Ma’am, you have a meeting with the board members with in 10 minutes.” My secretary said from the doorway of my office.“Alright,” I answered before straightening myself up because I was done with what I was doing.Meeting with the board members, and Callum will be one of them. I closed my eyes and immediately put whatever was bothering m

I stilled for a moment and slowly turned my head to see if I was right. And yes, I am. Meters away from us is Mrs. Juliet. She’s standing there while looking intently at me, then her gaze drops to my daughter who's prettily eating her ice cream, unaware of what is happening now.“M-Mrs. Juliet,” I slowly stood up and looked at her.“I'm sorry if I called you Avery. Because I got used to Callum during the four years that Avery was always mentioned." My heart leapt for a moment when she said that. "There is not a day that you are not mentioned in the mansion. And... this year he left the mansion because... he said he misses you and only remembers you there in the mansion. Buy a new condo to stay there.” She's spitting it, not minding what I am thinking right now. Or what Callum and I's situation is.“Uh . . .” I don’t know what to say! Fuck it!"How are you? After you left the mansion… everything went back to normal, eh. Sorry if I’m talking too much now. I just really missed you," he a
