CHAPTER I“You are pregnant?!”June was returning from a long day of work when she heard the voice of her mother-in-law from behind the front doors.“That’s so amazing! Congratulations, my son! You have finally proven that you are a man, and the problem was that low-life scum you married!”June walked into the house where she lived with her husband’s family, looking confused.“Hello, Mother,” she greeted her mother-in-law first, and all the former traces of joy were wiped from the elderly woman’s face.Olivia Lontoc, Ethan’s mother, answered with a grotesque look. “Don’t you dare call me mother! Don’t you know the woman that gave birth to you?!”“Oh, Mother, please don’t be upset,” a small voice said from behind her, notifying June of the presence of her sister behind her.Why was her sister in her home without prior notice?June moved to inquire, but the sight of her sister’s hand intertwined with her husband’s took words out of her mouth.“How can I not be upset when this barren wom

CHAPTER 3“Please…” she begged, knowing her life was at stake. “Please don’t kill me.”One of the men caught her by the arm with a skewed smile.“I’m afraid your life has been requested. The only thing we can do is make you have the time of your life before killing you now, June Rivera.”When June heard the sound of belts loosening, she became desperate. “Please! I will pay you double the amount! Just let me go! I promise!”One of them laughed. “Are you trying to dupe us? You think we don’t know that you have nothing to your name?”“Mrs. Rivera warned us that you might try to sweeten your way out of the deal. She told us what a scheming wench you can be,” he spat. “I intended to make the experience at least pleasant before you die, but you don’t deserve that!”June's eyes widened when she heard her mother’s name. Her mother had sent them. Her own mother had tried to assassinate her!The men took in her reaction and swore when they realized they had unintentionally exposed the name of

CHAPTER 5An upset look clouded June’s face as she faced the beautiful man before her.“You are this child’s father?” She scoffed. “You deserve a beating!”The nurses and doctors looked over at June like she had grown a second head. How dare she speak to such a powerful man in that manner? Was she courting death?Young Luis remained pressed to her thighs, biting back a little smile. His auntie was the first one to stand up to his father. His auntie rocked! He was going to do everything to have his auntie with him.“What did you say?” The man’s voice brought chills to the arms of the others, but not to June.“You heard me! If you are this baby’s father, you should do your job properly! He should be supervised with much care and attention! He should not be running onto the road alone.”June felt her rage at everything burst as she spoke to the cold man, who wore a quizzical look on his face before cutting her short.“Baby?” The man rolled his eyes, and June found it beautiful.His baby-

"Are you okay, auntie?" Little Luis said when he watched the blood drain from June's face. "Are you hurting somewhere?" June blinked, unable to shake off the dread that she felt upon seeing the news of the dead men. Something within her told her it was not by accident that they had been killed just after attacking her. What really happened to them?Rafael who silently watched her soon grew uncomfortable and impatient. His phone was beeping with a lot of work mails he needed to attend to and his child was insisting on remaining here with the strange woman. "Are you going to keep us all waiting?" He suddenly asked, his reservations clear in his tone."I don't want to stay in the hospital." She muttered, her tone was without emotion and it was clear her mind was engaged. Noticing her absent-mindedness, Rafael felt all the more upset. "Do you have someone who can take care of you in your house?" She shook her head no. Her eyes were fixated on the TV screen. Now Rafael felt like he w

“Oh, Ethan. I know you have a lot on your plate. The last thing you need is another responsibility. Since you already divorced her, you should be more intent on your new woman, who is now with your child,” Mrs. Rivera stated with a mild smile. “I will handle things as I have always done.”“Don’t worry, Mother. I will be more present at work to alleviate the stress from the business,” April said, hoping to put the matter to rest. She wanted her future husband the farthest from June and her grubby, slutful ways.Especially now that her body would be undergoing a big change in the future. She didn’t trust Ethan when it came to things behind skirts.Thankfully, her soon-to-be mother-in-law spoke. “That’s settled then. I think we should go on and talk about more important matters,” she said with a wave of her hand.Mrs. Rivera swallowed her words and nodded. She had hoped to verify if Ethan still held a semblance of emotion for her older daughter, but she still wasn’t clear on the matter.
