Chapter 31Maybelline Walter POVI felt so exhausted after a long ride to the company. We were stuck in a traffic jam for a few minutes before we were able to make it out. "Are you ok? Do you want to go to the hospital?" I was stunned when Miles asked with concern written all over him just because I groaned tiredly."I'm fine," I managed to reply to him."What are you going to do now that you don't have a secretary anymore? I can still take...""We agreed that you won't be working while we are married, so don't think of that..." He paused, then looked up from his desktop to me."I will do something about it in a few days. The work is not difficult for me to handle," I slowly nodded and turned my face away.My phone beeped, and I checked to see a text from Lily.'Are you there?' 'Hmm. I'm here. What's up?' 'Do you think Miguel is mad at me because I kissed him the last time? He has been giving me cold shoulders and avoiding me' I could feel the sadness in her text, but I couldn't he

Chapter 32"Don't make me repeat myself... What the hell did you do to May?" Miles snapped angrily as he slammed his hands on the table, making Nancy and Ashley flinched. They fondled with their fingers nervously. Ashley opened her mouth to talk, but words failed her, and she ended up swallowing nothing. Waves of regret hit her hard at that moment. She shouldn't have messed with May."Forgive us, Mr. Miles... We didn't intend to do that. Please," Nancy went on her knees and pleaded with tears in her eyes."Please forgive us, Sir," Ashley also knelt, and Miles scoffed."I will ask again... What did you say to May? Why was she looking sad?" Miles slammed his hands on the desk yet again, keen on knowing what happened in the restroom. After he checked the CCTV footage, he saw when May halted upon arriving at the front of the restroom, when she went inside, and when she came out looking all sad. He was sure that they did or said something that must've pissed her off in there even though M

Chapter 33Maybelline Walter POV'I'm sorry, I don't think I'll be able to go see it with you' I declined Liam's request earlier since I have plans with Miles after work.It was finally closing time, and we got ready to leave the office."So, which restaurant should we...""I changed my mind. Let's go home," His reply came rather harsh and cold, leaving me confused."Why?" I was forced to ask."Nothing. I don't feel like going out to eat anymore. I have something to deal with at home also," He didn't even spare me a glance as he grabbed his coat and headed toward the door."Are you not going to wait up for me?" I rushed after him, but he kept walking.We took the elevator to the first floor and when we arrived at the parking lot, he hopped in the driver's seat of his car and started the car. I could bet with my life that he would've driven off if not that I was fast to hop inside the car."What's with you?" I mumbled as I fastened my seatbelt. Just when I thought he was going to star

Chapter 34Maybelline Walter POVMiles made breakfast before I woke up, and we ate together.'Can I take the day off? Lily said she'll be coming over later, so I want to hang out with her' I had told Miles earlier while we were having breakfast together, and he gave me his permission.After he left the office, I quickly went to my room and took my time to bathe. And after I was done, I got dressed and waited for Lily to come and pick me up.My phone started to ring as I descended the staircase minutes later, and I swiped the answer button when I saw that it was her."I'm outside your gate. Don't keep me waiting," Her voice sounded from the other end, and I rolled my eyes."What if I tell you that I'm not ready yet?" I smirked, and I heard her scoff."You wouldn't dare,""Whatever! I'll be there in two," The call disconnected afterward, and since I was all ready, I left the house."I've missed you so much, my love. I thought I was going to die if I didn't see you," She whined as she ra

Chapter 35Thinking about May was something therapeutic for Miles. How his life has been filled with brightness ever since she stepped into it, the happiness she had brought to him over the few months that they'd known each other. The thought of everything made Miles excited and unable to hide his smile and his gratefulness.After the incident that happened five years ago, Miles had lived the recent years of his life wallowing in pain, thinking he would never find someone like her again. His heart was never going to open to another woman again, at least that was what he thought, not until May came into his life and changed everything.It was love at first sight for him, but how could he have summoned the courage to confess his feelings to his secretary who was obviously terrified of his slightest presence? Getting rejected wasn't his thing, especially from someone he cherished.Miles's heart missed a beat as the incident of that night replayed in his head. For weeks, he had been remin

Chapter 36Maybelline Walter POVI gave it a second thought as I stood in front of the mansion where the man had asked me to meet him. Am I making the right decision? I asked myself for the nth time as I held my phone firmly in my hand, my heart pounding hard against my chest. Even though I knew it would be dangerous to meet a stranger alone, my curiosity wouldn't stop pushing me, especially at the thought of it being related to the mysterious death of my Mom years ago.I was just eleven years old when my Mom who was single at that time, passed away, and I had since spent years of my life in an orphanage until I turned the legal adult age of eighteen years old, and had to move out of the orphanage to fend for myself.That night, I had come back from school only to meet my Mom in the pool of her own blood, and at the time I could get my neighbors to help me take her to the hospital, she already passed away.The memories of that day haunted me for years before I was finally able to get

Chapter 37Maybelline Walter POV'I have been looking for you for fifteen years, Maybelline. I'm glad I finally found you, my daughter''Your mom was my college sweetheart, but we separated after graduation and I later got married. Fate brought us together again years later, but I was already married then and my wife was pregnant at that time. We had a thing together because of an old spark, and she got pregnant with you' My heart wrenched painfully as his words replayed in my head. I tried to hold back my tears as I sat in the backseat of the cab I boarded, but it was so difficult that I eventually had to let it all out.'What happened afterward?' As much as I was already disgusted by the story, I couldn't help but ask him as I looked into his eyes back there, but his reply rather left me disappointed.'My wife found out about the pregnancy, and I had to pay your Mom to abort you. I was wrong, May... I shouldn't have done that... I should've fought for her' I was impressed that he di

Chapter 38Maybelline Walter POV"How are you feeling? Are you ok?" Miles held my hand and patted my hair with worries written all over me, but I only nodded. I couldn't bring myself to tell him about what happened. I had no idea how to go about it."Do you want to eat anything?" He squeezed my hand gently."No, I'm fine," I slowly shook my head, and he nodded.An awkward silence assumed the atmosphere. I placed my hand on my stomach, worried about my child. I wished I could see the doctor and probably had a chance to ask him if my baby was fine, but I couldn't."I'll be back shortly. Get some rest," He stood up from the bed and left. A few minutes later, fortunately, the doctor walked inside and I was glad that it wasn't Miguel since it was their hospital I was brought to."How are you feeling now?" He came to stand beside the bed I was lying on, and examined me briefly."I'm fine. How is my baby, doc? Is he fine?" I asked worriedly as I sat up on the bed. He looked at me and smiled.

Chapter 39"Are you sure she'll be fine, Doc?" Miles asked the doctor for the umpteenth time over the phone."Yes, Mr. Miles. All she need is a good rest, and she'll come out strong,""What about the baby? Are you sure the baby is fine also?""You have nothing to worry about. I would've told you if the baby was not fine, so it's nothing to worry about," He breathed out in relief after the doctor assured him."Thank you so much,""Alright. I got to go now," He breathed out again after the call ended, and sank his fingers into his hair while sitting on the edge of the bed. "What happened to her? Was she assaulted by that bastard again?" Even though the doctor already told him earlier that it wasn't an assault, he still thought maybe it was something of such, especially as Oscar escaped and was no longer under his custody.The sound of his ringing phone disrupted his thoughts, and he quickly reached for it and swiped the answer button when he saw that it was Miguel."Shoot!""Man, I'm a

Chapter 40May Walter POVThe sound of the knock on my door from outside caught my attention, and I paused brushing my teeth. I heard the knock a few times before the sound of door opening and closing followed suit. I needed no one to tell me that the person was Miles since he was the only one living here aside from his brother who of course must be at the hospital as usual by this time."Coming..." I found Miles seated on the bed when I walked inside. He stood up and smiled at me."Good morning, wife,""Hmm... Good morning. You are ready for office already? I guess I woke up late," I muttered the last part."How are you feeling now?""I'm much better. Uhm... I'm not going to take much time in the...""You don't have to worry about coming with me to the office today. I got a secretary, and also an assistant, so you can just rest at home since you are not feeling too well," He tucked his hands inside his pockets, looking straight at me."Oh!" I only mouthed, many thoughts flashed throu
