Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mommy, Please Marry Mr.CEO!: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Slipping into the Jacuzzi tub, I let my body submerge in the warmth of the water. My eyes were weary, and they had been so tired for the past week, babysitting Sofia. Babysitting that girl was like watching over the devil.I could hear Ethan's faint grumbles coming from the bedroom. I guessed he was frustrated by something he wouldn't naturally share with me. Sporadically, I felt useless in my marriage. Other than my full participation in bed, I wasn't required to do anything else. I was so irrelevant, and it caused a sore feeling in me. I shut my eyes, and then it came vividly to me... the day I was introduced to Ethan. He was quite handsome, I had felt a tingle within me, and he had not restrained from flirting with me, which made me feel that getting along with him was the best choice, not like I had the option to reject him if I wanted to. I can remember what he told me when I told him about my desire to run the company after my father's demise."It's not that I find women inc

After I had saved myself from suffering the tragedy of an allergic reaction to cauliflower, I caught a plane to Kenya, in Eastern Africa. Ethan was still extremely furious, he wouldn't even accept that he was mistaken to have forgotten about my allergy. I could have an attack for all he cared, I shouldn't have ridiculed his ignorance in front of a strange man. Now, he made me begin to feel guilty for even having had prior knowledge about the chocolate bars being made with cauliflower. I know Mrs. Carter loved to use vegetables in her desserts. It was quite unusual, but I had known it since I was a child. She called it healthy confectionery, and she fed all but cauliflower to me because she knew I was allergic to it.Georgina abandoned her daughter to spend some quality time with her African heartthrob. He was called Chege and he was a bachelor, quite younger than Georgina."You should try as much as possible to enjoy yourself over here." Georgina had winked at me when Chege's bachel

Ethan was convinced that I was ready to sign the divorce papers and shoved the documents across his office desk."You look great." He smirked while I was agonizingly compressing an outburst. I knew he'd love me to howl and scream like a mad and deprived woman, but I wouldn't, no matter what, I won't give him that satisfaction and act strong.I managed to put on a tight-lipped smile. However, I wanted to ask him the questions that were heavy on my heart. Afterward, I would sign the papers."Did you ever truly love me at any point in our marriage?" I tried to make my voice as firm as possible, but to my dismay, it came out shaky.He scoffed."You want to know?" He asked in the most condescending tone. I mutely nodded. I stared deeply into his eyes, I wanted to maintain those gazes of ours and watch him answer the question I had an answer to already.I shouldn't expect any consolation from his answer, but the sentimental part of me did. The woman who had given her all expected it."W

During my first trimester, I frequently had awful mood swings, which I couldn't control. I would suddenly be excited about my pregnancy, but then I would immediately recline into utter sadness. I had believed I was not myself throughout that period, but I had often engrossed myself in my designs, and it had provided some sort of relieving distraction. My phone blipped again, and I was forced to add his number to my prohibited list."What's that?" Henry asked. I guessed it was written all over my face, and I was annoyed."It's nothing." I was pissed off."Layla, I know something is wrong. What is it?" Henry persisted and I sighed."It's a disturber," I was forced to say."Shouldn't we report him or her to the police?" He chewed."Him! And sincerely, I don't want to be connected to him in any way," I stated."But he wouldn't stop bothering you...""I know, it's just that...""What?" Henry questioned, and I stared at him, making eye contact with him."He's my ex-husband," I said."What

LaylaDo re mi fa so la...Do re mi fa so la...I could feel the excitement in his voice as his little fingers tapped on the keyboard."That's right buddy!" Henry ruffled his hair.A broad smile crept up my cheeks, Nathan had made me smile. His eyes were gleaming with happiness as he felt fulfilled to have successfully played a basic on the keyboard."Mommy?" He caught sight of me and leaped to his feet."Oh, my boy," I scooped him up in my arms."You were wonderful." I kissed him on the cheek. He giggled.Henry began to walk towards us."He's getting better every day." He said, stopping in front of us and shoving his hands into his pocket."I think he has a flair for music." I pinched him affectionately on the cheek. He chuckled."Wanna have a snack?""Hmm-hmm." He nodded and then I put him down. He disappeared into the kitchen."You know, it's about time I enrolled him in an elementary school," I began."What's stopping you?" Henry took his seat on the sofa. I joined him."I'm sca
