he said seriously, but with a little smile hidden in the corner. "You can't make me do this, I don't feel anything for him... damn daddy, I don't love him!" I screamed and let some tears fall. Dad walked over to me and stroked my face. "Honey, you had to think about that when you had sex with that boy. I love you my daughter, but I think it's the right thing to do right now, this child will need a father present in her..." I interrupted him. "We are in the 21st century, this marriage thing when a girl 'loses' her innocence no longer exists and the world is different now, women are more independent now and even raise their children alone."

Nothing less. When it comes to her, one can boldly call him vulnerable. He was not himself without her. As if he was nothing without her. He had felt that. This was evident, him not being able to even control his mafia, his business made it all clear to him that how much he was dependent on her, He needed her.

Marcus joined us. “They are becoming independent,” he said. “Yes.” “But not separate.” No. Because independence without alignment created chaos. And alignment without independence created stagnation.

The manager quickly nodded and replied, "Okay, think about it, come back to work when you're well" I nodded and left the bar. On the way home, I stopped by a drugstore to buy birth control pills, for fear of having an unexpected event. Go to the convenience store, buy some food to cook for grandma. I also drank a carton of milk and then took the medicine.

I’m Maya Klein, and five years ago, Kaelnino Nathaniel de Cruz made one thing painfully clear. I was good enough to sleep with. Just not good enough to stand beside him. According to Kael, women like me didn’t simply step into families like his. I didn’t have the money, the name, or the pedigree to become his girlfriend, much less anything more. I could stay his secret. His mistress. Just never his choice. Romantic, right? A few weeks after he humiliated me, I found out I was pregnant with his child. So I left. Kael never found out.

He studied my face over his wine glass. "This is about independence." "This is about knowing who I am when I'm not dependent on someone else's generosity." "And you think living alone will tell you that?" "I think making my own choices will tell me that."
