Chapter 60Lux felt content watching Heart from a distance, still stuck by her declaration of love. He thanked God for finding someone like her in his darkest days. He no longer regretted spending time with other women whenever he sought refuge after getting hurt by Diana.But even though he had been that way, he couldn't bear to spend time with anyone else if he and Heart ever falls out. Just the thought of looking for someone else made him ache. He was faithful to Heart. He knew she was the same with him.He loved her deeply, and he would ensure that she never doubted his loyalty. Heart had qualities that were miles apart from Diana's, and he cherished that."I've been noticing that girl in the off-shoulder black dress with a hair clip for a while now," Destiny pointed out.Lux didn't bother to take his eyes off the woman beside Katy who was Destiny had been referring to.Katy had always been selective about her friends, even when she was young. She had probably seen in Heart what

Chapter 61 "I need a round of applause! I am 8 weeks pregnant! To calculate it, Mama doesn't need to wait for nine months for her grandchild!" Diana shouted into the microphone, and that's what some people who were unaware of the situation did, clapping their hands. At that moment, the applause and cheering of the crowd seemed deafening to Heart. She silently sobbed until she felt Katy holding her hand, under the table. She cried even more when she saw Katy's sympathetic look. "Smile, Ate," Katy mouthed, and she nodded. It was so hard. She had to pretend that she wasn't hurting, even though her heart felt like it had been squeezed when Diana said that. Diana could indeed be pregnant. She and Lux had only known each other for less than a month. It was impossible that Diana and Lux hadn't been intimate during the times when she hadn't been paid to be his mistress. It was over. Her happiness had vanished when Lux said he loved her. Did Lux still love her now that he would have a ch

Chapter 62 Tears welled up in Lux’s eyes as he waited for the results of the resident doctor’s examination in a relatively unknown hospital in Manila, which had just recently been established. The doctor was a male, but he didn’t care. He leaned against the wall and, to be honest, he was waiting for a text from Heart. He couldn’t understand why he felt no joy about Diana’s sudden pregnancy—sudden pregnancy, take note. He was suppressing inappropriate thoughts about her pregnancy, and he wondered if he might be the actual father, feeling a tremendous guilt for their child due to the confusing thoughts running through his mind. The doctor exited the room, and Lux stood up. “Mr. Montesalvo, right?” the man asked. This guy looked damn familiar. “Yes.” “I’m Doctor Christian Mayor. Your baby is safe.” “Thank God,” he breathed a sigh of relief. “Please take care of the mother. She’s quite delicate. I prescribed some medication for her to take earlier. The baby’s hold is a bit weak,

Chapter 63 Heart was startled when she opened the door, and she met Lux’s tired appearance, clearly sleep-deprived, looking so exhausted. He was sitting on a stone, staring at the carpet. He looked disheveled and quickly stood up when he saw her. It was like the first time for Heart, feeling nervous. “W-Why are you here? I’m leaving soon.” Lux shook his head and took her hand, “No. You stay here.” Tears welled up in his eyes, and he brought her inside, then kissed her on the lips. She didn’t resist, but she didn’t respond either. “You love me, right?” He asked. “But you’re going to have a child, and I don’t want to take away a father from that child. I’m doing this because… because it’s also for my sake. I don’t want your child to accuse me of taking you away from them.” “No!” Lux raised his voice and held her by the waist, “You didn’t take anyone away, remember that. It was my decision to take you, make you stay, and ask you to stay. I don’t want to lose you!” He turned to f

Chapter 64 Heart's response to Gigi's question about how she's doing was a deep sigh. They were walking home, keeping a distance from their friends as they mentioned that they had somewhere to go. Their tired friends chose not to join them and just headed straight to their apartment. "I'm here, trying to stay strong because I feel like he is so weak right now,” Heart said. "It's because sir Lux loves you, and he feels like be might lose you due to her wife’s revelation of pregnancy. But what if she is really pregnant, can you truly accept it?" She wasn’t able to answer because, in truth, she was also hurting. She wasn't a god with a perfect personality. Even though she repeatedly said it was okay that Diana was pregnant, there was still a hint of jealousy, envy, and bitterness in her mind and heart. It would be different once the child of Lux and Diana was born. Lux would spend quality time with the baby, and she didn't know how she would deal with it. She didn't want to pretend

Chapter 65 Early morning(flashback) Lux stared at the cabinet inside their room with Diana, in their old house. He didn't know what he was doing there, but his own feet had led him there after he took a shower in his own home. Diana was still living there. She didn't leave. He walked into the walk-in closet and opened some cabinets. There were some of the woman's clothes. He rifled through them. He didn't know what he was looking for, probably evidence of other men in Diana's life. He pulled a drawer, and it was locked. He searched for the key on his key holder. He knew the key was there, and he found it. He opened it. It was filled with bottles. He took them out one by one and saw sleeping pills, vitamins, and contraceptive pills. He had a feeling this would happen. He rummaged through it again and found a piece of paper. It was a doctor's clinic and a prescription for Diana. It said "pills," and it was dated from three years ago, but he was more than sure that the bottle of p

Chapter 66 Just like her decision, Heart's mind was divided between weighing and thinking. She really wanted to leave for a moment and be on her own. She wanted to be alone because she wanted to get to know herself. She felt very sad and wasn't sure if she would be able to work properly. When she wasn't working, she might just get bored at home. It seemed like she had no clear decision about anything. She watched Lux as he was packing. She had a bad feeling, thinking that he might not come back. If her mother were there, Lumeng might scold her because that old lady would say she was thinking too differently from reality. She tried to erase the thought that Lux wouldn't come back. After all, he was just going on a trip, and she shouldn't think that way. Deep inside her, she wanted to go with him. "I wish I were her,” she couldn't help but say, and it was too late to take it back. Lux immediately looked at her as she sat on the couch alone. "Baby, don't say that," he said and didn

Chapter 67 – Lux OUT OF REACH. Lux cursed multiple times when he couldn’t contact Heart. He had been trying to call her for a while now, itching to have a conversation with her. He was damn excited because he had never had the chance earlier. Now was his opportunity to talk to her because Diana wasn’t following him around, wanting to be in the same room whenever he was. She was like a crazy dog that didn’t want to leave its owner’s side. Whenever he takes out his smartphone, her face immediately appears, peeking in. It wasn’t right, but he felt suffocated and unable to resist. She used her pregnancy as a weapon, and that was her way of getting what she wanted. What he did to quiet her down was to bring her to the bedroom so she could lie down. The door was left open and he didn’t close it. They were staying in Alfonso’s house, but he asked for a separate room. He acted as the mediator between Caleb’s and Katy’s parents. Throughout that moment, Katy was by his side. She didn’t wan

Chapter 68 HEART was nowhere to be found, and Lux was feeling down and nervous. He couldn’t hold back the tears in his eyes as he walked towards Katy’s room. Elisa had mentioned that there were pregnancy test kits in her sister’s room, and she had asked for one for his plan. He would proceed with the plan despite his anxiety over Heart’s disappearance. He had already instructed Vandros to go to the police, even though it hadn’t been twenty-four hours since she went missing to declare it. He based it on her last text to him at around nine in the morning, saying that she was going to the doctor. “This is a generic test kit, elder brother, but it works like magic, too. The results are fast, just a few seconds. And Kuya, Ate Heart is really not responding, she’s out of the coverage area,” Katy explained as she handed him the kit. “Let’s hope nothing happens to her, Katy,” he replied to his sister. “My God, Kuya. Don’t even think about that. Nothing happened to her. Maybe… maybe…” she

Chapter 69 He was waiting, staring at the kit without even blinking. Time seemed to stand still as the liquid moved towards the second line. There was already one line, and he was nervous. He didn't know whether to be happy if there were two lines or sad if there was only one. The urine reached the line. "Shit!" He cursed and almost punched the tiled bathroom wall. Lux felt a sense of dread, and tears welled up in his eyes. He had bitten his lip so hard it almost bled. Diana had made a fool out of him! All this time, she wasn't pregnant! Damn it! It was all part of her plan to pretend she was pregnant. Even the blood during their argument wasn't real. Everything was a fucking fake! How the hell did she do it? She was such a great actress. All this time there was only one line on the test! Heart had been right when she joked about Diana having something hidden in her underwear, probably to make it look like she was bleeding ang mostly having a miscarriage. Lux was furious with
