Carrying the Don's Baby Chapter 51: Not Fully Healed
We both fell into deep silence and that's when I realized how dangerous it is for me to look into his chocolate brown eyes. I felt like drowning just looking into it. I looked away and took a bite. "Since the nine months is almost over, I want us to settle things," I said in a plain voice after a long stretch of silence. "I still have a month..." he whispered. I sighed inwardly and tried my best not to speak in a shaky voice. "I want to settle the payment like what is written on the agreement. Also, that's what we're talking about, right? Once you get the company, we're done." "Is that all?" I almost scoff bitterly because the last time I checked, he is the one caught cheating. I faked a cough, pretending to remain formal. "This is business right?" I stood up. "I'll leave this house immediately after the ninth month, as promised." I left him sitting there for a long time. We had a silent dinner and as usual, I woke up the next day alone in the big bed. I just ate and told R
Carrying the Don's Baby Chapter 52: Betrayal
I'm almost convinced that Edmund is really concerned based on his actions since Roy caught up with me. But because I know the truth, I find it so hard to trust both of his words and actions. Every time he's asking me if I'm okay a big part of me wants to say I'm not because he's seeing my sister but of course I have to remind myself that I should stay where I belong. That line is beyond my capacity and I should never cross that. I rolled back from the bed again when I felt sleepy. This morning after Edmund left I vomited again in the bathroom but nothing came out but bitter saliva. I shrugged it off because I might have been sick to my stomach because I hadn't had breakfast yet. Now that I have eaten, I feel nothing but nausea. Around noon I was restless. I called Edmund's office but no one answered but the female receptionist. Besides Gregor, it was also Edmund's office assistant who took the call. She told me that Edmund went out earlier than expected for a lunch meeting but whe

The reason was a combination of nervousness and panic, so I couldn't move immediately because the bubbles exploded on the floor. I couldn't even check if I had a wound because I was so scared. I couldn't move immediately, especially when my emotions rose so I couldn't stop sobbing. However the unkind woman just ordered her people to help me get up. He didn't even bother to check if I was okay while the bodyguards he ordered were restless to check if I had any injuries or something. I saw a small cut of glass in my palm because I propped it on the floor to stand. I think I sat through some boogie too and I don't know... "Don't act like that, stand up or you might report that I'm oppressing you," said the lady in a humorless tone. I tried to find concern and sympathy for him but I couldn't find anything. She sat tall like a queen and then looked at me from head to toe. "I can't believe my so choose a bitch like you," she said and turned to the staff. "Leave us alone. This is a sens

Even if I wanted to ask the housekeeper for help, I couldn't because I was afraid she would feel sorry for me. Maybe my parents will scold her, especially Dad. She's too old for that. I was out of breath when a strong wind blew while I was walking. The temperature is gradually decreasing every minute, that's why I hurried to walk even though I didn't know where to go. It was cold around and since I was only wearing a bodycon dress in the middle of the night I couldn't do anything but hug myself. Some people looked at me, I don't know if they're amazed or what while I'm almost freezing. Maybe there is an inn or a hotel nearby, I might just spend the night there because I don't have much money, I don't know if I can stay two nights so tomorrow I might plan what to do. My feet took me to a church. It was only a few kilometers away from our house and I finally felt comfortable while entering there. It's not big but the place is quiet. On the side there were two nuns kneeling so I did

"The baby is fine and safe, Sister. We were on our way home yesterday after we finished serving. Marky, even though he was afraid of blood, came earlier," said Lester, one of the sacristan who brought me to the hospital. Marky laughed and shook his head. Compared to Lester, it is more quiet and shy. "Of course I'm confused," said Marky and adjusted his round eyeglasses. He continued to look like a holy seminarian as Lester teased. He was wearing a white polo shirt and black pants. It was in good order and there was no mess. "Thank you for the help, I don't know how to pay you all. Thank you..." I said flashing a slight smile. Somehow I regained my strength to eat solid food earlier. I can go out this afternoon, just settle the bill. I still have money and Sister Inca and Sister Badeth downstairs are taking care of something so I don't have to pay anything, it's a public hospital. "That's fine, sister. The important thing is that you and your baby are safe," Artem said. This and
Carrying the Don's Baby Chapter 56: Don't Tell Him
I lazily walked around the side of the church. Every now and then I bend down to pick up clutter. I can't do anything. The children are studying this morning and Mother Eralda, the nun superior, told me not to sleep. She said it's bad when I lie down all the time because my body can't stretch. They say that won't help if it's a normal delivery. It's five months before I give birth but they are taking care of me. From my room at the end of the first floor which used to be a dump, I was moved to a bigger room. Papa also installed the air conditioner there even though I didn't want it. It's cold there and the bed is soft so I almost don't want to open my eyes, I just want to sleep all day. A lot has changed, I used to not be able to pray. Now I can't sleep until I pray. It has become part of my day. Sometimes I join the children's choir practice, which is why I also like the worship songs. I even made a notebook where I am writing my everyday life. When the nuns took me to a recollect
Carrying the Don's Baby Chapter 57: Her New Life
I closed my eyes and reminisced about the past, the paradise where I grew up, where I formed dreams before everything turned into a nightmare. In a time when the morning is turbulent but happy, the night is quiet and peaceful. At the time only the stars were the witness of how many dreams I built. I slowly walked towards the front and slowly knelt down when I reached enough distance. I did not take my eyes off the altar while kneeling. I uttered a short prayer and stared at the altar once again. Its design has changed a lot. The former white and blue dominant colors have been replaced by gold and silver. The pillars that used to look old and about to fall down, are now brand new and beautiful. It was carved with images of angels and flowers. A slight smile suddenly appeared on my lips. Change is really bound to happen. Good or bad we must embrace the changes around us. "Lily, it's good that you came to visit, the children miss you so much..." I looked at Sister Inca who suddenly
Carrying the Don's Baby Chapter 58: Dark Eyes
It took us a while to get to where we were supposed to go because other employees had also arrived. We talked a little more because they were very happy with my son's presence. Carrying a large duffel bag containing Ken's necessities such as milk, a change of clothes and some toys we went to the office. Hailey came because we thought she would be late. "Mimi, work. Me, play. Go Mimi go!" I couldn't help but kiss Kendi's cheek while we both sat on the couch inside the office. She pointed to my desk where the reports from our three other branches were stacked. Once a month I visit them, I just focus more on the Manila branch because it is closer to us, I don't have to leave Ken. "My daughter is so kind! Because of that... What do you want for lunch?" Her face brightened even more and if she wasn't on my lap she would have been jumping for joy. I used to think it was a lie that they say that a mother is happy when her child is happy, but when I gave birth to Kendi, I proved that to
