Anita Pov...
I ask dad to work with grandma in Cebu while having a year's vacation. Since I'm not an employee, I can get a long vacation as long it will benefit the company. Dad didn't ask any further since Grandma has a wide farm in Cebu. I can help to manage, dad wouldn't doubt I'm hiding something from him. I know this is not a good decision, but I have to.I'm already in Cebu waiting for my cousin to pick me up. Since I'm in a hurry to leave Manila I didn't have any chance to talk to Missy. I'll just send her a text though!
"Hi babe! I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I'm already here in Cebu for a year's vacation, but it depends on the situation when I'll come back. I'm still shaking thinking about what will happen when dad finds out about my pregnancy." I texted her."Anitaaaa!!!! I can keep a secret! Why do you have to run immediately?" She whined in her reply. I know that but it's better to be early than be caught."Babe, better than late. Take care of daddy. You'll be her assistant while I'm away." I replied. She doesn't have any choice though!"Hmnn. Do I have any choice? You're lucky I love you so much. If not I would tell your dad you're running away because you're pregnant." She jokes."I love you too babe. See you when will get a chance." I replied with a smiley emoticon.After almost half an hour of waiting, my cousin arrived and she was in a hurry. She just drops me off and leaves immediately. "Anita, how are you darling? What a sudden visit?" Grandma's greetings upon seeing me."Grandma, I'm okay. I'm sorry if I just visited you now." Grandma stared at me as if she was reading the whole content of a book through my eyes."I guess, you have a problem to settle. You never run here to surprise grandma like this, if, you're not troubled!" Grandma asked bluntly.Grandma is correct, we don't come here when there's no occasion unless we have a problem that needs her help and advice... I smile sadly at her. Grandma is really the best, she smells everything with just a stare and a word you utter. You can't escape from her majestic eyes."Grandma, I'll stay here for a year or more. It depends on the situation. Daddy doesn't even know why I came here. I just told him I needed a vacation." I honestly tell Grandma why I ran here."What? Why are you staying here for so long? Your dad needs you more than I need you!" She curiously asks."I'm pregnant grandma!" I answered her sadly while my tears were starting to fall. It's not a piece of good news to spat just arriving here."My goodness sweetheart! Why didn't you tell him about you before coming here? He deserves to know your condition, he may be strict and scary when mad, but he would never hurt you, darling. I raised him very well." Grandma worriedly said.My tears flow as if they have their own mind, "Because grandma, I don't know who the father of my child is." I cried heavily while telling her the truth. Dad will definitely freak out and be disappointed if he finds out.I could see the pity on grandma's face. It seems she wants to say something, but opted to just shut up again, looking at me earnestly. That's why she is the best grandma. She knows when to push you and let you just be."Don't cry so much sweetheart, your child can feel when you're emotional. If that's your decision, I'll support you. I won't ask you how that happened to you, it's up to you to tell me when you're already ready to talk about it." She reckoned sweetly and smiled trying to feel me at ease."Yes grandma, thank you! Please keep my situation, secret grandma, I don't want them getting worried about me." I pleaded. I'll tell them when I am already ready to face what I got into.
"You can count on me, sweetheart. Go up and take your rest. I'll call you when we're going to eat dinner." Grandma said pushing me to leave.I cried, staring at my granddaughter's pale face. All I can do is help her cope with the situation she's in. Your father wouldn't hurt you if you just told him what's happening to you, but I don't have any choice but to help her. Her condition is not as easy as going to school. Be brave darling, I feel sorry for your condition sweetheart, but I can't do anything. It’s hard to be a mother and father, especially nowadays, people around you are judgmental. Don't give up and don't lose hope. I believe your family will forgive you.You need to be strong for both of you. It's not the child's fault sweetheart, please don't punish. You must take care of yourself and be a good mother. Darling, I just wish that you'll be going to love and protect your child no matter what happens. Maybe, that happened to you to give you a beautiful lesson and be strong in life. The time will come when I will leave this world too, but I want to see you in good hands before leaving you. My prayer is for you to find happiness in your life my granddaughter. I caressed Anita's face before leaving the room with a heavy heart.I looked back again and stared at the door of Anita's room with a sigh. You will find your happiness soon, nothing is permanent in this world. You need to suffer to know what is pain. You need to be happy to know what is happiness. Either way around, you'll both experience pain and suffering to continue in life. Maybe it's not the way you wanted, but the end of your journey will be amazing and you will wish to have what you still have right now! I will always be here for you sweetheart.Alejandro Pov...AFTER A YEAR... I touch my office table and my swivel chair. Oh! How I missed my office, I was in Manila for a month because of a big project that needed to close. Sadly, the project didn't work well, but I got the biggest project of the year. I still plan to find other business partners for the Cebu project since I only got the Makati project."Alejandro, what happened at your meeting in Manila." Dad excitedly asks as he enters the office."Yeah! Dad, it's okay, they were happy with the nice presentation so they signed the contract immediately, but the Cebu partnership was rejected." I said lowering my head while flipping the pen in my fingers. I'm a bit ashamed of not getting that project."Good! Let's celebrate. Have dinner with us at home. You haven't been to our family dinner in a long time. Your mommy will be happy if you can go home now. About the rejected one we can still find some people who really want business with us, don't lose hope son!" Dad explained a
Anita Pov...It's been two years since I left Manila and started to live here in Cebu. Every significant milestone we move was a choice we will never undo but to be proud of. I once think of aborting my child because it was a mistake but after nine months he is living in my womb and a year running around with him, the realization dawn me that he was indeed the joy I will miss if I aborted him. I was damn crazy back then thinking of that.I know I can't hide him forever and he's growing too fast. I can feel the time is already limited. I need to move forward either face my father's wrath or make myself settled. What I have here is temporary. Grandma soon will be tired of me. I smiled admiring Grandma Lou's effort, understanding, and commitment. Two years my mouth is still sealed but she never tried to ask.I felt stiff the whole day stuck in my room thinking a lot of stuff. I need to sweat up and refresh my mind and soul. I'm almost done cleaning and walking out of the lawn to remove w
Anita Pov...Lauren's offer is not bad at all, why don't I try it? Maybe it's not hard to get along with her boss. I'll tell grandma that I accepted her offer and am ready to start. This probably be the beginning of life aligned for us. I need to send a message to Lauren. She'll be happy to know I will work with her company."Lau, I will take that opportunity you offered me. I already talked to grandma and we decided to find a babysitter for Alex while I'm at work." I texted her."YESSS!… Thank you so much, cousin. I love you 3000. You save me, we don't want to lose the opportunity given to Jacob. We will wait until his promotion, then will be back here for good. That's their offer, good for Jacob but not so much for me." She replied ecstatic and bit sad needing to leave her job."Still a clown Lau. I love you too, so I will help you, and most of all I love Alex so much, I will start saving again for us." I replied with a laughing emoticon. I'm relieved that I'll not be a burden to my
Anita Pov...We arrived at the Hotel where Lauren is working and I'm anxious to meet her boss. Yesterday I was excited to come here but today I had a bad feeling stepping into this hotel was a mistake. I hope he is kind and we get along. I keep on sighing anxious anticipating the tick of the time.I'm used to being the boss, not the one who orders or serves other people. I have to do this not just because of Lauren and Alex, but for myself. I need to move forward to our future, even if it's at a slow pace as long I arrived at my destination."Good morning Sir Alejandro. She's the new secretary that I will train for the last week working with you." Lauren greeted when the boss arrived.I almost opened my mouth to say WHAT THE FUCK! SHIT! I never thought my boss to be this dangerously handsome. My folds down there are screaming like hell. Shit! He's a goddess sent from above! His looks and package were perfect! His eyebrows are thick as if they were intentionally sculpted, his thin lip
Alejandro Pov... I'm surprised when Lauren introduces my new secretary. I almost scream to see her, I tried to mask how ecstatic I am not to spoil the day. When I woke up this morning it was a wonderful and inviting feeling. This must be the reason. The excitement is killing me that I called Rex unknowingly.She was busy drooling and didn't catch any trace of pleasure in my eyes. The way she looks at me I can see she is mesmerized with the looks everyone is crazy about me but sweet Lauren has her own way to interrupt! I didn't expect to see her here and most to be my secretary. What a small world, after a year of searching the universe for her it pays off to see her perfectly stunning and sexy. She's better than intoxicated. Though she was still fabulous that night!I saw her ogling at me and she's damn cute. I want to pull and kiss her, but I controlled myself. She seems bothered meeting my eyes but doesn't recognize me. It's an interesting start rather than being crazy looking aro
Anita Pov...I played with Alex when I got home before going to bed, but I can't sleep thinking of my boss. This weird feeling is making me anxious. I feel like my feet are slowly dipping into the pit of mud accepting this job and I can't get out! What should I do? I shouldn't accept this job in the first place but no turning back now. It's fucking dangerous. I shudder thinking about the worse scenario. I hope I can hold on a little longer before Lauren comes back. Work is not a problem to me but working with him is my biggest problem. Those smiles and stares still creep me like hell. Even her voice makes me weak and wants to submit eagerly which is odd. What's into him that I'm affected like this? I have to avoid staring at her face, especially his damn hypnotizing eyes. His eyes invite you to danger easily laced with magic to elope with. I don't want to dive for another hell of a mistake. I still need to face dad, it terrifies me to think how will he takes in what I went through y
Anita Pov...Ever since Lauren left me to work with this hot CEO, my life turns like a hurricane. I barely handle him. I always want to run away from him. His smile tells me something that makes me shiver. Every time his near me my mind travels somewhere else trying to figure out, who the hell is he. Is he a witch manipulating my mind and my body? I already think I'm crazy! I tried my very best not to look into his damn hypnotizing eyes. Every time he calls me to give a report or ask something, he always manages to touch the tip of my fingers which gives a thousand sparks enough to weaken your knees. Damn him! I cursed while slapping my face when a baritone voice startled me."Oh god! Sir Rex stop doing that! You almost give me a heart attack." I spat catching my breath, startled by his approach."Sorry Annie, why are you slapping your beautiful face anyway? You should stop that. By the way, is he in today?" He asks with his signature smirk. After two years of working with them, I al
Rex Pov...I'm not dumb not to see changes from Alejandro. Though it was our dream and wishes that he will settle down. I'm just not used to it yet. The Casanova finally fall!He doesn't often go to the bar he uses to and limits using women. He was really busy finding her after their escapade that night. I will tease him all the time as he didn't tell me she was the woman that night.I often see him smiling and laughing alone. If others will see him they might think he's insane but hell no! He was just dramatically falling in love maybe.Yesterday was something else! The worried look on his face, when Anita picks up the broken cup, says something else. Does she like her secretary now or he was just concerned? Rex, you might imagine things, your best friend hates commitment. Maybe he wants her under him! I reminded myself. Hey Rex, shouldn't you be happy with your best buddy settling down? I called Terry to give a piece of news that might interest him or shock him!"Hey Rex buddy! How
