Prologue

"Say 'fuck you,' kiddo.""Fuc—""What kind of nonsense are you teaching my child!" I interrupted just as my child was about to speak.I was only halfway up the stairs when I heard the shameless things this man was teaching my child. He's just like his older brother, who left me high and dry while I was three weeks pregnant."So that when he meets my brother, he'll already be an expert!" He laughed and tickled my child's stomach.I didn't know how he found out I was pregnant and that his brother was the father. Zon was three years old when he suddenly appeared, threatening to tell his brother if I didn't allow him near his nephew."Just leave, Laki!" I was just short of throwing my slipper at this grinning demon."You're bad, Tito Laki. You made my Momma angry." My five-year-old acted out, crossing his little arms over his chest. He's turning six soon."Do you want your daddy, kiddo? I can bring him here—""Really?" He seemed to have fooled my child again."Laki?" I caught Laki's atte

Chapter 1

Irithel complained while playing with my son's long hair, 'When are you going to cut Zon's hair? People mistake him for a girl.'The length of his hair now reaches beyond his shoulders, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's mistaken for a girl, even though he wears boy's clothes.'You know why I've kept his hair long, Rith,' I glanced at her, and she just rolled her eyes at me.I'm attempting to tie my hair into a neat bun, but it ends up looking messy. They're behind me, on the bed, my son engrossed in playing with his toy cars and robots.'You know why I've kept his hair long, Rith,' she copied, exaggerating her expression. 'Psh! Like duh? No matter what you do, your son still looks like a Cavanaugh! The blood of the Cavanaughs runs in his veins, Calista,' her frustration evident on her face. 'You're really trying to hide your child—''I'm not, he rejected us,' I cut her off. It's useless because I'm not hiding my son; if I were, I would have gone to a different country.'How would he

"Even if you take a while, that's perfectly fine with me. I'll take care of your adorable son!" she cheerfully interrupted me.Maybe what I'm doing isn't right. I have a son, and I'm going to enjoy myself at a bar? Irithel told me to loosen up and just enjoy my life.I'll do it, just this once.I left the house and got into my car, which was parked in the one-car parking lot beside the house. The houses here don't have fences, except for a few very large ones. This is a subdivision, after all, so the houses have similar designs.My car isn't that expensive; it's a middle-class car.The drive to the expensive bar isn't that long. I didn't know this bar was for wealthy people only. It turns out this was the location and suggested bar Irithel mentioned.Oh, that woman.I have no choice. I don't know any other bars around here. I'm not really into this kind of thing, and luckily, it's the last day of the month tomorrow, which means I'll be receiving my salary from work.after finding a sp

Despite the hangover, I hurried through the bustling crowd on the streets. It was early in the morning, but the sun felt scorching on my skin. I was sure that by the time I reached the bank, my uniform would be drenched in sweat.I work at a bank, specifically as a teller. The bank hired me the day after that coincidental encounter with Lazarus in the same bank. I had been contemplating sending a resignation letter to the manager when I found out that Lazarus' money was one of the supports for the bank.This is a serious matter, especially after the conversation we had in an expensive bar last night. I'm not sure what exactly I said, since I was already thoroughly intoxicated, but I do remember insisting that he wasn't Zon's father.I don't even know how I got home. He probably didn't accompany me, right? Because if he did, Irithel might either faint or go ballistic at the thought.The important thing is that I'm alive and my son is still with me.I've made up my mind. I won't resign,

He's too formal and professional. Sometimes, I'm not sure how to interact with him. He's intimidating if I keep thinking like that, but if I remind myself that he's just a person, human like me, he's not intimidating at all.I took a seat in front of his desk. It felt like the first time he interviewed me, a feeling that returned now.I was just staring at his face and at his hands, which were busy signing or flipping through pages. There was also a newspaper on the side of his desk, and a cup of coffee that would never be absent.He's not that old. I think he's below the age of thirty-five. Good-looking with those reading glasses and a perfect formal office attire, not too fair but attractive. Every girl who sees him would feel the sex appeal behind those coats he's wearing, which is why many are drawn to him. From what I've heard around here, he's still single.He opened the drawer beneath his desk and took out two white envelopes.The first one was the size of paper money, and the

Chapter 5

"Hey Laki!"I stormed into the house, my face looking just as stormy. My hair was in disarray from the windy jeepney ride. I commuted because I realized I had given the wrong envelope to the guard earlier.I thought I had handed him the letter, but in my unlucky haste, I had given him the envelope containing my salary. I only found out when I was already seated in the taxi, and I quickly got out when I realized I had no money to pay.In my rush, I didn't even bother to check."Momma, what's 'gago'?"I was startled when I heard my son's voice from behind the sofa. He was poking his head out like he was hiding and peeping at me.His curious eyes held a hundred unasked questions."What are you doing there, baby? Come here...""Hush, Momma! We're playing hide and seek, po!" He immediately hid and didn't peek at me anymore.He really didn't want to show himself to me.I cursed in my mind while thinking of ways to punish Laki.I moved to where my son was hiding, but I froze when something c

Chapter 6

Just as I approached, the businessman he was talking to entered the building, and Lazarus was heading down to his shiny black car.He stopped in his tracks when he saw me. He wasn't surprised or happy to see me here. There was no change in his expression as he looked at me approaching.I held my pouch and resume tightly. I was dressed formally—a tight black pencil skirt paired with a white long-sleeved shirt and black shoes with a slight heel. It's a struggle to wear heels when you're going to be walking all day. I didn't bother with a blazer, it's too hot.With gritted teeth, I stopped right in front of him, about four feet apart."Ms. Belmonte, what brings you here?" Nothing had changed in his deep voice since I last heard it. It was plain and calm, yet serious.It's nothing like our last meeting. He was shouting at me, telling me to leave.I just stared at him for a few minutes before slamming my resume onto his unyielding chest."What is this about, huh? No one's accepting me, not

Chapter 7

I pressed myself harder against the wall, trying to create a little distance between us. But he only pressed his hard body against mine, as if he could almost crush my slender frame with just a snap of his fingers.He never did this to me before. Usually, after he's done using me, he'd quickly back away, looking disgusted with me.Hearing the noise from the partying crowd in the bar contrasted sharply with this narrow, dark, and deserted corridor. I couldn't scream or shout for help. No one would hear me.I tilted my head away as he leaned in closer. I feared he might try to kiss me. He never kissed me before, it was always just plain sex to save his own skin.I felt his large hands on my elbows, pressing them against the wall. "Calista, do you know exactly what you're doing?" His calm voice masked the anger beneath. He wasn't holding back, he was angry in a composed way. "Where's my son?" He squeezed my elbows, not too hard, as he whispered over my ears.I felt his breath, warm yet f

Chapter 8

I didn't see her because Lazarus is pulling me, and I didn't mean to bump into her on the side, which is why she spilled her drink on her own clothes.When we finally step out of the club, I can finally breathe freely. It's not as noisy out here, and the late-night air is chilly. But even so, there are still people fooling around and cuddling outside.I couldn't see the presence of the night sky with its shining stars and moon since there are thick dark clouds up, blocking its view.I think it's going to rain. But it was scorching hot just a while ago, right?The streets were dark, but there are still lively people who used to have a late-night walk.Lazarus leads us to the parking lot. It's annoying because he's still dragging me."Lazarus! Let go of me!" I tried to plant my heels on the ground to stop him from dragging me, but nothing happened. The pain in my feet from earlier just got worse. "Come on! You've done enough to me!" I hissed.Imagine? I was walking around the city all d

Chapter 9

"Stop saying bad words, Calista," such a ramrod billionaire. He's body was rigidly standing straight one meter away from me. "You're acting like you're not a woman," he added, further heating my blood.Earlier, it was warm, but now it's boiling."What do I care?" I crossed my arms against my chest. "Please, enlighten me," my voice was dripping with sarcasm, and probably so was my expression.His strict eyes were fixed on me even more."Limit your choice of words, woman. Remember, you're in my place and you're wearing my clothes."Then he walked towards a door similar to the one we entered earlier, where my son was now sleeping. A varnished wooden door.He didn't go downstairs. He walked straight, there are three doors here.My gaze dropped to the white shirt I was wearing.What does he mean? So what if I'm wearing his clothes? Is he going to take it back if I anger him?He's such a nuisance. Should I just not wear anything?I cleared all the nonsense that I'm thinking and just followe
