YVONNE —It was exactly seven o'clock in the evening when I started feeling pain surge through my abdomen. Meanwhile, it was a few days ago that I marked nine months of carrying this baby."Why this sudden pain?" I mumbled, trying to stand from the couch to go get food from the kitchen to eat. I had been thinking about my discussion with Conan on the phone call. We had discussed so many things that I could not even join my kids and Amanda when they ate their dinner.Honestly, after the call between me and Conan, I could not explain how I had been feeling. Different thoughts were going through my mind. Both what Mr. Thomas had been telling me and what Conan told me. His incessant pleading and promises and the touching words he told me left me emotional and in deep thought.To be honest, I need to reconcile with him if I really want my children not to be affected by my actions. This was because raising children while the parents are not on good terms always has effects on the children.
YVONNE — I tilted my neck from the hospital bed I was on to the baby's bed my baby was lying on, kicking his legs and sucking his tongue, and a smile forced its way across my lips."Nurse!" I yelled. Immediately, the nurse who was assigned to me rushed in. "You called me, ma'am?" she asked, maintaining an honest look. "Yes. Please get this off me. I want to breastfeed my baby," I demanded. "Consider it done, ma'am," she responded, dropping the medical tools she was holding on the nearby desk. She paused the drip I was taking and then gently removed the needle syringe from my vein. Without even being told, she kindly carried my baby from the bed and handed him to me. "I should leave now, Ma. In case you need my presence again, I'm close by," she stated and left. Staring into my baby's face, a smile crept onto my lips. Gently, I placed a kiss on his forehead. "I will try my best to give you what you deserve and not feed you with lies as I did to your siblings. I still owe them an
SOPHIA —My life is messed up. The whole world has finally laughed at me and is still laughing at me.To be honest, if anyone had told me I would end up like this four years ago, I would not have believed the person. In fact, I would make sure the person rot in jail for wishing me such a thing. But look how I ended up now. Even the life of an insane person—I mean, an insane homeless person with rags on her as clothes.Their lives are better than mine currently. At least, they are tolerated and pitied by society, unlike me, whom everyone hated. In my pack, they hated me for how tyrannical my father was to the people of the Dark Moon Pack. Should I even mention Moon Stone Pack, where I caused the inhabitants severe pain by raising a plague to strike them? Where do I run to?Just then, I felt the work in my stomach crawl, and it dawned on me that I had not eaten since morning. I did not know where to get something to eat.This whole catastrophe just started ever since Andy eliminated my
YVONNE —It had already been two days since I was in this hospital, and I must say it hadn't been easy. I just wish they could let me leave so I could go back to my home and spend time with my children. They must be missing me by now.My kids had only visited me here once, and they had insisted on staying with me, but I deceived them into going home with their aunt, Amanda, promising them that I was coming after them."Nurse!" I yelled, and the nurse in charge of me ran into the room."Do you need anything, ma'am?" she asked."Yes, I need to get out of here. It's been two days already since I have been here. Why is...""Ma'am, but we are only trying to protect your health. Have you forgotten that you gave birth through CS? You need to be under our watch for at least three days; if not, I do not know what might occur," she explained.I sighed weakly. She is right. Giving birth through surgery is not something to joke about. But I need to be with my children. I do not want my absence to
YVONNE —Two Days Later.I had returned from the hospital to my home. I and Amanda had not been able to talk as friends regarding the issue, which she had refused to let me know, saying it was a confidential talk.To be honest, if not for all she had done for me, I would have asked her to leave my house to avoid what my instinct hinted at happening—to avoid her abducting my kids to Conan.I rose to my feet and headed to the children's room in order to make sure they were okay. Upon arrival at their room, I was relieved to find out that they were comfortable sleeping.I stared at the wall clock and realized it was already seven o'clock in the evening."They would be awake soon. I better go prepare dinner so they can eat immediately after they wake up from sleeping. I'm certain they will wake up soon," I muttered, heading to the kitchen.Amanda had left the house in the afternoon to meet with her fiancé, according to her. Up until now, she has yet to return."Well, as long as I was fina
YVONNE —"Good morning, Mr. Thomas," I said as he picked up my call. He called me earlier when I was still in the restroom bathing, and I couldn't answer it. So that was the reason I decided to call him back."Good morning, Yvonne. How are you and your new baby?" He asked.His voice sounded so different today. It was as if he was not the same person I had discussed with last time in the office when he maintained a mean tone and scaring characters. Is he even intentionally doing this just to keep me uncomfortable? His voice sounded so unique and caring this morning."I'm fine, sir. What about you?" I replied, and he gave the same response."So I was calling to know what you have concluded concerning our previous discussion," he said, making my heart fly into my stomach. I had thought he was calling to ask when I would resume work, as the one month of leave I was given had expired yesterday."Uhm, actually, sir. I really have not concluded about that, but I will give you feedback when I
SOPHIA — I could not process what I had gotten myself into. Like, how did I just accept an offer I knew I couldn't fulfil? Just to escape death. What's the point of living when I can't afford a meal? I gazed at my wristwatch and realized it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Upon noticing this, words could not express how excited and happy I felt because it is time to go out to fetch something to eat. I had been feeding on garbage for the past week. As I walked out of the small kiosk store where I pass nights to the street to get some garbage for dinner, I glared around to see if the road was empty just so I could walk out of the street. This was because I could not afford to take the disdainful glares I receive from people whenever I walk out of the street because of how I look these days. I had grown thinner and more dirty. As I noticed that everywhere was quiet, a smile crept onto my lips. My stomach had been buzzing out of hunger. As I went to a restaurant where I u
SOPHIA — "Please, my Alpha, have mercy on me," I begged. "What do you want from me? Just mention what it is, and I will have it fulfilled as long as I can do it," I went on begging. Hearing this, Conan burst into laughter, making me more confused and scared. Who knows if they are here to have me cut into pieces, as he had threatened on a phone call the last time we spoke on the phone? I was already panicking. "Does she even think I'm here for jokes?" he asked, gazing at Caspian. "Maybe she is trying to get your sympathy with her deadpan cry, my Alpha," Caspian responded, a faint smile escaping through the corner of his lips. Honestly, it hurts—yes, it hurts seeing who were once your servants treating you as a slave. In fact, they treat you as an animal because most slaves are taken good care of by their masters. "Well, now listen," Conan declared with a domineering tone, and I nodded in affirmation, gulping hard while staring at him to hear what he had to tell me. At th
