41: Ben

CHRISTY: I must keep my distance around him or I will be crying in the end. For the nth time. Whenever I loved someone, it was I who always cried whenever we broke up. This man…if he kept on doing this, I should never be blamed if I fall for him.And if you truly fell for this man, what would happen to you? No one loved you for real, Christina. All they cared about was what you could offer to them in return and that was it.I wanted my heart to rest even for a bit. “Touch me and you are dead,” I threatened. He grinned from ear to ear. “Please don’t kill me, kitten. I have a lot of things to do. A lot will cry when I die.”Lucky him while I? No one would shed tears for me when I left this world. It was only Poppy and Kelly and their baby. “This feels like a date,” I commented all of a sudden without thinking about it and it was already too late when I realized what I just said.My cheeks flamed and I just wanted to hide under the table. Everette gave me his signature warming smil

42: Ben (Part 2)

CHRISTY: It took a few rings before Ben picked up the call. Then, his face flashed in. His once neat face already looked like a lawn with tall grass. His eyes told me he had not experienced a life full of luxury. It was tiring as if he was barely hanging. But the most important part was that he was well.Before, I was already imagining what our meeting would be like after he ran away. I imagined I would hate him for leaving me, but maybe it was only because of my emotions. Now…I felt relief that he was well and alive. Still…there was an ounce of some emotions which I could not pinpoint. “Hey,” Ben declared, hesitating. I did not know what I would say to him. Whether I would scold him for leaving me alone or scream at the top of my lungs until he realized what he had done. My hands trembled and forced my hands to steady. A long silence filled it. It was awkward and I did not know how to break it. There were a lot of things I wanted to ask, but I did not know where to start. “Hey,

43: Kicked Out

CHRISTY:I almost had a heart attack when Everette suddenly talked. My heart beat wildly against my ribcage as I clutched my chest. In my irritation, I slapped him on his shoulders. “You nearly killed me. Do you hate me so much that you want to kill me?”He flinched but did not move away.He looked at me with a knotted forehead. “It was not my intention.”“It is your intention,” I answered. “Don’t do that.”He chuckled. “Rest easy, okay? I promise I will not scare you again.”Everette sat and yawned. “Are you done talking to your brother?”“His name is Ben.”He thought for a moment and said, “Ben? Why did your parents never mention him?”It was no longer a surprise after what happened. During the first family dinner with the family, Ben was not there, and the Watson family believed that I was an only child. “Isn’t it obvious? They did not want anything to do with him. They already disowned my brother after he ran away from his supposed obligations in the company. He ran because Mom

44: Sent

CHRISTY:I thought I would be able to sleep since Everette was no longer sleeping beside me, but I was wrong. My mind kept on wondering if he was able to sleep on the couch. Shit. Was it my fault now? He was the one who thought I was a slut and that was one of the most painful things I could ever hear from someone. And I was not expecting it to hear from Everette whom I trusted so much.Still…was he comfortable on the couch? He had work to do and sleep was the best thing that he could do to regain his strength.I rolled on my back.I was always sensitive when it came to my ex-boyfriend, especially if someone thought I was a slut. They always reminded me of Mom who said I always spread my legs whenever I wanted to.I got out of bed.“I will only drink water,” I muttered to myself and sat on the bed. Then, I looked for my slippers stepped out of my room, and went downstairs while constantly saying I was only getting some water.Liar. You want to check on him. I am not. I did not care

45: Monster

EVERETTE:"How many times will I tell you to change the font? Make this presentation presentable!" I growled while throwing the bundle of papers on the floor.Levi was at the corner watching the scene take place. My head felt like it was going to burst from the stress. “I'm so sorry, Mr. Watson. I will just repeat them.”“You better do that or you will be firing you next.”The woman sniffed. “Mr. Watson. Take pity on my child. She is still attending school and if I lost my job, I don't know where I would be able to get funds. While you are at it, please help me.”The woman seemed like she was already ready to cry but held herself. Levi shook his head while glancing at the woman.Did I feel sorry? I was not. Those crocodile tears would not make me feel sorry. The woman’s lips trembled while I massaged my neck. Any minute now, she will be crying. She might be thinking I was the devil, which I did not care at all. My head had been aching for quite some time while my eyes wandered to C

46: Unforgiven

CHRISTY:As soon as I sent the message, Everette replied faster than I expected asking the location. I was about to reply to him, but then he called as if he could no longer wait for my text. “You want to see me?” Everette asked, not bothering to hide his excitement.I sat upright as my drowsiness disappeared upon hearing his voice.“T-that’s what I want.”“Are you no longer mad at me? Did you see the food on the table? I cooked them for you. May I know what time you woke up? I wanted to send you a message, but you won’t ever reply to me. I thought you’re not the type to reply right away.”“We can talk about it when we meet.”“I will ask Levi to fetch you.”“Why would he when I already have my car. "I have a car. I want to be with Happiness." "Levi can drive.""I will be the one driving it. Don't you dare decide for me, Everett. I did not give you the power to."Silence flowed between the line that I could hear the sharp intake of breath. "Sorry," he muttered under his breath. "Tell

47: Cheated?

CHRISTY:"I trusted you, but when it comes to people around you, I don't trust them.” He trusted me despite how I treated him. A lump formed in my throat. “Why do you trust me?” I asked with difficulty. Maybe it was because I was never good to him. Everette smiled sadly. “When I was small, the house helper whom we thought was loyal to the family was the one who nearly got me killed. No. At first, it was an attempted kidnap, but the other house helper was able to see me while I hid in my closet," Everette said.My mouth gaped open.“Is that true?”He gave me a curt nod. Why did I not know about that painful history?It was because you never asked about it and you’re only good at fighting with him. "What happened next?""She was killed when my parents found out her location. I was crying back then, pleading with her that I don't want to go with her.”“She must have not listened to you.”“My cries were not heard and to stop me from talking, she broke my fingers.”I gasped. “That

48: Blackmail

CHRISTYEverette's brows furrowed and sat up. The wind blew some strands of his hair blocking some of his eyes. So smoking hot.“Believe it or not, I did not cheat.”“Oh, please. What's my assurance that you're telling the truth?”“I won't force you to believe me, but that's the truth.”On the other hand, why was it an issue to me that he cheated on Eden or not? That was already out of my control.“I don’t like cheating,” I informed him. “The next time you do that, forgive me but I cannot just sit down and let you get away with it.”“What will you do?”The corner of my lips lifted. “I will cut whatever I have to cut.”Everette shivered. “You are one scary woman when you get angry.”“I sure am, and you should be wary about it.”A comfortable silence filled in as the gentle sea breeze kissed both of our skin. I wished we had the same moments like this where we would always have the time to spend with each other. And I appreciated Everette's effort in coming here even if it was not his

49: Until Morning

CHRISTY:Everette found me sitting on the sand, continuously staring at the calm water. After Mother called, I could not fathom going back to where Everette was and pretended as if everything was okay. It was somewhat of a good decision that I had come to this place even if I had not known that Mother would call.This place was my solace in my chaotic mind. The soft whisper of the wind and the waves calmed my raging emotions. I wished Mom would change. I wished she would finally start seeing her sons and daughter as her son, not some sort of investment or someone who would back up money. Until now, I did not know how the heck would I look for the hundred dollars she wanted. Would I ask for Everette’s money? Or will I just let it slide? If I don’t give her anything, she might do something to Dad.I had no good memories of my parents. But still…if Dad was not sick, I wouldn’t be worried for him. “Kitten.”I jerked back to the present upon hearing Everette’s voice. He sat beside me.

50: Yes

CHRISTY:Everette's eyes widened at first and then grinned next. “Will we stay here?” he asked in disbelief. P“Y-yes. No one is waiting for us in that house.”“Soon, someone will.”“Who? We are not having a baby.”“Who said we are having one? I'm talking about the soon-to-be maids.”Oh, great. I wanted the ground to swallow me now. “That's what I was telling you earlier,” I muttered while averting my gaze. He stood and was now in front of me while wiping the sand from his pants. “That's…good to hear. But our family would love a baby, kitten.”“I don't want to.”Sadness flashed in his eyes before he said, “No one is forcing you to do what you don't want.” He gave me a warm smile. There was no question that he would be a great father. He was already an amazing husband despite being in a business marriage. But…I don't want my baby to grow up without a father on her side. I already knew how hard it was to have absent parents. I did not want my child to encounter the same thing. “I'
