"Fix your things, we'll be going somewhere." Patriza ordered me as I got to her front.I can't even move due to great shock and confusion."Don't worry, I will tell my fiancé that you are with me, so hurry," she added in irritating voice.I have done nothing but to entered the office and took my bag. I followed Patriza as we are walking until we reached the outside of the building. We hopped in to the parked car. Even though I wanted to ask her where our destination would be, I decided to keep it all to myself.I sat properly as I glanced at a familiar way to Achetbir's house. I can count in fingers how many times I've been there but I am not smart enough to remember the way.My heartbeat started a race as my palms are getting soaked in my sweats the moment we entered the entrance of their mansion."Let's go," Patriza said bitchily and stepped out of the car.I slowly followed her. I froze a bit when I saw Achetbir's mother waiting for us, or should I say waiting for Patriza. They kis
"Hey," a soft voice spoke as I felt a gentle touch on my face.I slowly opened my eyes and found this gentle face of Achetbir. I roamed my eyes and found myself lying down on my bed. I quickly got myself up and shyly looked at him."Sorry, Sir. I made it even harder for you to carry me," I apologized as I played with my fingers."It's okay. I was about to go. I just wake you up so you can eat. I already prepared your food on the kitchen," he said softly.I have been feeling mix emotions that moment, "T-thank you, Sir," that's all I can say because I can't utter a single words how to express my feelings. I know he's doing all of this to clean his conscience, but I can't help it to feel overwhelmed by the way he cares for me, for our baby.He distant himself and cleared his throat "I'll go ahead," he bid.I looked and gulped by the intensity of his eyes "Take care, Sir," I said huskily.He just stared at me then licked his lower lip. "I should leave now," he said as if he was literally
"You're believing her?" a familiar voice said hysterically."Mom, let me handle this. Just for now, please leave us alone," Achetbir said tiredly.I slowly opened my eyes. I don't know how many times I woke up in the hospital but this one is the scariest."Sis..."I slowly looked at the direction of the voice and saw my mother sitting beside my bed while Blair is standing behind her. An angel seemed to pass by as the silence filled the room. Everyone was sensing every movement.I touched my stomach and weakly closed my eyes when I felt the bump shrunk."My baby?" I said sobbingly and slowly opened my eyes to look at them. "Where's my baby," I asked firmly and stopped my eyes only to my mother.She looked at me softly and caressed my hair. "He's in the NICU, dear." She said calmly.I cried in despair. I shook my head just to think about the situation of my child."I want to see him. Please, take me to him." I pleaded in tears and forced myself to get up despite of my whimpering stomach
"He's too small." I burst out in tears while looking at my son.Here I am today outside the NICU with my mother and my sister, watching my baby fighting for his life. He is in an incubator and has small wires attached to his body. He needs to be observed and watched because his lungs are not yet in good shape.I felt my mother gently caressed my shoulder. I was sitting on a wheelchair while she stood behind me."Be courageous my daughter, everything will be fine." she consolidated.I bit my lower lip and slowly lifted my hand to the glass blocking between me and my son."I don't know who I should blame. Whether it was them or myself because I didn't take good care of him," I said in cracked voice."Don't think about those things. I'm sure no one wanted toruin the child you aare carrying." I was promptly stopped by my mother."I don't know what to do mother." Surrendering to the hardship I'm carrying."Why don't you start settling with Archetbir?" Blair suggested while dabbling on her
"Hijo!" my grandmother exclaimed as she entered my office.I looked at her frowning because this is the first time that she's in a hurry.She walked towards me and held my arms. "Come with me, we have to go somewhere." She said while forcing me to stand up."La, I still have some paper works to do," I said calmly.With her hands on her waist, she looked at me angrily. "I am still the boss here, Achetbir. You may want to be deprive of your inheritance." She warned me.I rubbed my sinuses and took a deep breath. "Where are we going?" I asked while fixing my table."I need to do this before my flight to Singapore," she said with a low voice.My brows furrowed again. "What?" I said curiously."Arggh! Can't you just stop asking and move quickly?" she said.My eyes widened slightly at my grandmother's posture.Why is she like this?"Come on, let's go," she said as she pulled me hurriedly.I have done nothing but follow her.- - -"WHAT THE FVCK?!" I muttered when my grandmother asked me to
I was parking my car in the hospital garage when my phone rang. I glanced at it and saw Grandma's name on the screen. I turned off my car and answered her call."Go to your social media," she spoke and ended the call.I frowned and put down my smartphone and just followed her wishes. My eyes widened in shock as I saw Jandie having a live video."I am not here to clear my name or force you to like me. I did it to give what the person I love has been asking for for a long time, " she said with a small smile."Fvck!" I cursed and moved quickly to get off my car.The corner of my eye started to heat up as I ran inside the hospital while staring at my phone.She kept talking on the video that was purposely for me. I could feel her sincerity and her overflowing emotions."I am sorry, Achetbir. I am sorry for causing so much pain to you," she said with her voice cracking.No need to be sorry, babe."I reall really love you, Achetbir. I still love you."A lone tear fell on my cheeks as she sa
“Miss Mendoza.” My body immediately jolted when I heard a cold voice echoing throughout the four corners of the room. I heaved a sigh as I noticed it was coming from the same direction; a speaker. I shook my head. “Oh my! Girl, you’ll probably get scolded again by Sir,” Serah said. Her voice seemed shaky and scared. “What report did you do wrong again? You’re always being called at the office just so he can complain and scold you nonstop,” Freya added, another one of my co-workers in the office. She eyed me quite sharply with her eyebrow raising and her arms crossing. I only looked at them with a winced expression on my face before promptly standing up from my seat. “Haven’t you got used to it already?” I asked, jokingly. “Just one mistake and I’m always called on the office.” “Gosh! His handsome face is wasted for being so cold,” Serah said, shaking her head. “Miss Mendoza.” His voice seemed more irritated and louder than it was from earlier. I hurriedly walked, grabbing only th
“Good morning, ma’am.” My head lifted as soon as I heard my co-workers motioned to greet a woman passing by. It was Achetbir’s grandmother, walking towards our table. We quickly rose from our seats and arched to bow in front of her. “Good morning, ma’am,” we said in a synchronized manner. The old woman smiled at us with such warmth before motioning her hands towards my two colleagues to sit. She turned towards me and opened her mouth. “Is my grandson busy, hija?” she asked with such a gentle tone. “Ahm, sir is currently free right now,” I said. He was even able to call me just so we can have sex, so I doubt that he’s busy. I shook my head as a winced expression crept into my face because of what I thought of. “Okay, thank you.” She narrowed her lips to smile and promptly turned away, walking towards Acherbir’s office. I lowered my gaze and sighed to myself. Achetbir’s grandmother is a kind person however I still can’t help feeling nervous in front of her. I feel like we could g
