Chapter Fifteen: Gifts.“KAYLA, here!”Ales gave me the three boxes of gifts for the children here in the hospital. Inside the box consists different kinds of things that every child needed. Like books, toys, candies, or clothes to help them at least be happy that they got to have that kind of gift when they were always hospitalized.“Thank you,” I replied.I put down the three boxes on the table, flipping on the first pink box on its side to see the names of the recipients. I saw the first name, Jade Darwin, and her room number; 205.“Oh. Jade… please be gentle with her,” Ales said in a warning tone.Taking the box in my hand, I turned my gaze to Ales. “We should be gentle to every child in here, Ales.”He shrugged. “Jade, she’s a different case. She has anger management issues and is a spoiled brat.”“Mmm, let’s see.”I didn’t know why but what Ales said didn’t make me feel nervous. I know how to handle a child because Brent used to throw tantrums when he was still two to four years
Chapter Sixteen: Jealous.He was holding Sara’s waist while we were all watching how the children watched and get amazed about nature. Watching the documentary in three dimensional is amazing but I couldn't help but to felt jealous of Brandon and Sara who were acting sweet beside me. “Are you okay?” Milly asked.We’re done with the volunteer, and we’re on our way to the resort. Brandon wants me to be in his car but I insisted on joining the other employees in their van. Although Brandon seemed disappointed in my decision, he let go of me. I’m sure from now on, he already knew that I am not okay with Sara being around us. I am not fine being their driver while they flirt behind me. Hell, the last time we were okay, he was banging me inside his office. And now… never mind!“I’m okay, just a little tired,” I replied.“You can take a nap on our way! Get some rest or you’ll regret not enjoying the night because you’re tired,” she said and then winked.I agreed with her and so I laid back
Chapter Seventeen: Have A Good Night.WHEN I opened my eyes, I was surprised to see Brandon holding me. Now I am not imagining, his eyes flickered which made me feel nervous. My heart was pounding so hard, knowing that he was too distant away from me earlier. How could he catch me?Still nervous, Brandon guided me to stand up straight. That’s when I realized that everyone was looking at us. While Ales was sitting on the ground. He looked up at us, his eyes seemed like he just snapped out.“W-what happened?” Ales asked.Brandon held the sides of my shoulders, making me look at him. “Hey, are you okay?” I still can’t believe what just happened, I nodded. His eyes seemed to be worried about me, I wanted to see more of his gray eyes, waiting for them to flicker again. But as soon as I was about to answer his question, Sara held his arm.“Brandon, come on.”Pain crept into my chest and then I stepped aside, getting out of his hold. “I’m okay, Sir…” I said, emphasizing the last word.I hel
Chapter Eighteen: Tell Me.THE next day, Brandon is cold toward me. If it was for the best then it should be fine, but it wasn't what I really wanted. For a while, I wanted him to talk and try to pursue me again. But that didn't happen until the week passed and Sara kept on visiting him despite his denying that they get back together.“Our sales are getting higher than last year and we’re planning to launch another product. This product is the hottest trend today,” Theo said.We’re in a meeting and I’m beside Brandon. While listening to the meeting agenda, my mind is wondering what Brandon was thinking right now. I wish he could be just like how he used to be, in my first days here. Just like how he scolded me in this meeting room…“Milk Tea is kind of popular these days and we’re planning to formulate a new taste of the regular flavor… such as Okinawa, taro, wintermelon, and so on,” he continued.Brandon beside me stood up and went to the center where the Milk Teas are served, I follo
Chapter Nineteen: Half-Blood.Kayla’s POV:OF all the times that I am trying to attempt telling him about Brent, why does it have to be now? Seeing his reaction made me feel nervous that I couldn’t hold back anymore. “Y-yes,” I replied, stuttering.Brandon caught his temple and closed his eyes tightly. His hands were trembling like he still couldn't believe what he had found out.“B-but don’t worry! I won’t tell anyone that he is your son—” I haven't finished what I am saying yet Brandon stopped me.“Do you think I am mad because I found out that I have a son, Kayla? Damn, he is my son! How could you hide him from me?”“I…” Finding the right words to say, I lowered my head to avoid his gaze. His eyes were raging in anger and I couldn't stand looking at it. “I don’t want to ruin your relationship with your girlfriend at that time…”He inhaled sharply. “God, Kayla! You had a lot of chances to tell me about him! We had… sex many times,” he said licking his lips. “You have chances to tel
Chapter Twenty: Rogue and Wolfsbane.I STILL couldn’t believe how could that bite save Brent instantly. arlier, he isn’t waking up because too much blood was lost from him but now… he was completely fine. The Doctor suggested to take him in a regular room but Brandon paid for an expensive private room. I don’t want to agree with him at first but he already paid for the room. Brent was silent while I am feeding him. He kept on glancing over Brandon.“Brent, baby? Why aren’t you speaking? Is there any problem?” I asked.Brent shook his head and glanced at Brandon that was sitting behind me. “Who is he, Mom?” he asked. “I’m afraid he was a stranger…” His curious eyes avoided Brandon’s, maybe he was afraid of him.I took in a heavy sigh. I thought Brandon already told him who he was. Hearing this, I turned my attention to Brandon. He was just looking at us without saying anything. I mouthed ‘what now’ but he just shrugged.“He…” I started and then turned back my attention to Brent. “He wa
Chapter Twenty-One: Second Chance.MY HEART was beating so fast while I was forcefully dragged away. Someone caught me and he was running faster than a normal person. I realized that it wasn’t a human when I felt his long and sharp fingernails while his hands were hairy.I was too dazed by what is happening right now, another werewolf was running towards us and it was Brandon. He was Brandon, the father of my child who shapeshifted into this! His red eyes were looking intently into me while he’s trying to catch us. People inside the hospital are all terrified just by seeing the two werewolves running inside the hospital—ruining everything they run to!“B-brandon!” I shouted.Then the werewolf who was holding me suddenly dropped me. He jumped out of the glass window and a laugh echoed. I couldn't even feel the pain in my behind because of too much nervousness. My eyes widened at how that werewolf turned into a human after jumping off the glass. That’s what happened to Brandon as well
Chapter Twenty-Two: Grandson.I DIDN’T want to embarrass her, but I was forced to push her away. Thinking about how Kayla might think once she knew that Sara kissed me, I’m sure it will frustrate her. I don’t want to assume but I need to see the possibility… and, Sara’s kiss doesn’t have any effect on me anymore. Instead, it disgusted me.“W-why?” she asked. Her face flashed a surprised expression, that she didn’t expect it from me.“I’m sorry, Sara. But you have to understand that I don’t love you anymore. And what’s between us is over and cannot be undone,” I replied honestly.She bite her lower lip, preventing it from trembling. It hurts seeing her get hurt because of course, our relationship lasted for ten years but… it doesn’t matter to me now. I pity her but it was because she’s hurt, not because I still love her.“I remembered how you wanted me to stay… why?” she asked. I wanted to tell her about how painful it was when she broke up with me. How it made me feel miserable whene
