"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
The only thing you can hear from me as I was doing my work the whole time was none other than a nonstop sound of keyboard slamming and typing. Serah and Freya noticed how my mood suddenly changed but didn’t bother much about it because they were used to me not even glancing at them when I’m busy with paperwork for Achetbir. “Are you just going home?” Freya asked as I was busy sliding my things inside my bag. I looked at her for a second before giving her narrow smile, nodding. “We were planning to go to a bar, don’t you want to come?” she insisted as I hang my bag around my shoulder. “No, I can’t join you, maybe on another time since I’m really tired. I just wanted to rest and sleep,” I said. “Are you sure that you don’t have a boyfriend, Jands?” As soon as those words came out of Serah’s mouth, nervousness crept into my body. Were we obvious? “Why do you think I have one?” I asked, trying not to sound suspicious. “It’s because you act like you’re being strictly told not to,” s
I frowned as I entered our department because of the loud whispers of the employees. Most likely they are talking about Patriza kissing Achetbir yesterday. "Did you hear that?" Serah immediately greeted me with a question as they approached my seat. I couldn't help but raise my left eyebrow because of their gestures. Aren't they tired talking about the two? "I don't have time for that, Serah. I have a lot of reports to do today," I replied with a smile. She hit me lightly, so I stared at her. Achetbir immediately caught our attention as he was walking. His expression was colder than what he normally shows every day, something I wonder about. The employee's earlier noisy whispers suddenly subsided in an instant. What happened to him? He's okay when he recently left our condo. I saw him staring at me and entered his office. The two quickly clung to me again. "Sir Villa Forca has a girlfriend," Feya whispered. I mentally rolled my eyes. Yeah, I expected that news. "Yeah, girl,
It's time to go home, but I still didn't set my table. "Hey, are you okay?" Serah questioned me worriedly. They have been trying to talk to me earlier, but I didn't bother to pay them any attention. I forced a smile and nodded before staring at Achetbir's office again. He hasn't been out there since I left, and I haven't even noticed if someone served lunch inside. His mother and Patriza left a few minutes after I went out back in the morning. They even left me with a sharp look then finally walked away. Feya looked at me sadly. "Did he scold you again?" She simultaneously caressing my back. I slowly shook my head and looked at them. "I'm okay. I'm just a little offended by Sir's swearing at me," I explained to them. Serah was arranging her things when she turned her gaze to me. "Aren't you going home yet? You used to always be ahead of us, but now it's like you have no intention of leaving," she curiously asked. Where am I going home? I smiled and started stacking the papers
