Charlene’s POVHappy? Yes.More than happy.The change in the house was impossible to ignore. Once, it had felt like a cage to me. Now, somehow, it had begun to feel like home.Today was Kerill’s birthday, and I had promised myself that I would do everything I could to make him happy. I bought him a gift and hid it in my room. It wasn’t anything extravagant—just something simple. I only hoped he would like it.I stepped out of my room to check if everything was ready.“Wow. Love really does change people, huh?”Black’s voice came from behind me as he looked around at the decorations and preparations I had made for the party.“You know he hates big celebrations like this,” he added, shaking his head with a small smile. “But then again… this is you we’re talking about.”Not long after, the party began.It wasn’t crowded. Only people close to us had been invited—family members and some of Kerill’s business partners.I greeted the guests as they arrived. Kerill still wasn’t there, and I h

Charlene’s POVI didn’t know whether to feel happy or uneasy about everything that was happening that day. I was genuinely glad to finally see Enan again, but at the same time, I couldn’t ignore the tension—especially the way Kerill looked at him.I had just found out earlier that Enan was now Monica’s husband—and worse, he was the very reason Kerill and Monica had fallen apart. The world really is small… and somehow, I found myself caught right in the middle of it.We were at a restaurant near where we had been earlier. The three of us sat together, and honestly, it was a relief Monica didn’t come. Enan had convinced her to go home. I didn’t even want to imagine what would’ve happened if all four of us were in the same place.“How have you been, Charlene?” Enan asked.I smiled. “I’ve been okay. You?”“I’m doing fine. It’s been years, hasn’t it?”“It really has. That’s why I went to Manila… I was hoping I’d find you here. You never came back to the province,” I said, unable to hide th

Charlene’s POVThe judge’s words echoed in the room: Kerill had won. Full custody of Lily, Ericka, Wency, and Wyl was now his. The mother would only have limited visitation, carefully supervised for the kids’ well-being.I wrapped my arms around him without thinking. Tears slipped down my cheeks—not from sadness, but from relief and happiness. He’d finally achieved what he fought so hard for.“Thank you… thank you so much,” he whispered, burying his face in my shoulder. I held him tighter, feeling the weight of everything we’d been through.“Congratulations,” I murmured.He kissed me softly, then turned to the children, gathering them into his arms. Seeing his face light up with joy, seeing him so proud—it was a moment I would never forget.And yet, a small thought lingered in my mind: with custody settled, the contract was over. I was free.“Tita Charlene!” Lily’s voice brought me back.I went to her, hugging all the children in a big embrace. I loved them more than anything, and I d

Charlene’s POVThey knew.The kids knew.And I was the only one left in the dark.The realization hit me so hard I felt like I couldn’t breathe—like I might collapse from the weight of it all.“Lily found the medical records in his room… then she showed them to Wyl and Wency… and eventually to me,” Ericka said, her voice trembling. “We’ve known for a while now, Charlene. That’s why we’ve been trying so hard to make him happy… b-because… b-because—”She couldn’t finish.I pulled her into my arms. I knew she’d been holding it in for too long. The moment I held her, she broke—crying against my chest, gripping me tightly like she was afraid to fall apart if she let go.Tears streamed down my face as I listened to her sob.If this hurt me… I couldn’t even begin to imagine how much more it hurt them.“Charlene… I’m scared…”I kissed her forehead and held her tighter. “Shhh… your dad is strong. He’s going to fight this. We’ll get him treatment. We’ll finish this trip… we’ll travel the world

Third Person POV Years passed, and life slowly moved forward.Kerill was laid to rest in the Philippines. After a week of mourning, his remains were cremated. Life without him—the pillar of their family—was never easy. But with the support of his family, Charlene and the children managed to survive the years of longing he left behind.Before he died, Kerill had already prepared everything. From his properties to the inheritance and even the arrangements for his own funeral—he made sure nothing would be left undone. He secured a future not only for his children, but for Charlene as well.Then came something unexpected.Just a few months before Kerill passed, Charlene discovered she was already two months pregnant. She hadn’t noticed it at all—no morning sickness, no obvious signs. She only found out during a check-up when she wasn’t feeling well.At that moment, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.She was happy—because she was finally going to have a child of her own.But at the
