CHAPTER 38: SUDDEN SURPRISE SHANBRI POV After everything that happened, I can say that we are living peacefully in this place. Even though I notice that sometimes the children remember their father, especially Bri, I am still thankful because they do not insist on returning to Sta. Luna and see their father again. I think Kenj is happy with Kate and I know he will be a good husband to Kate and a good father to their future child. Although it's sad to think that this happened to us, I'm still happy for Kenj because I know he's doing well in the city and I also heard that their business has gotten stronger since they merged with Kate's company. Even though it was painful to accept that we had no hope and it was unclear that he would come back into my life and the lives of my children, I still accepted it with ease. Maybe this is the end of our story. Maybe all stories are like that, they have an end and you can't avoid that the end of your story will be sad. The twins are going
CHAPTER 39: SUDDEN CONFESSION SHANBRI POV AT THE RESTAURANT "Good morning, ma'am/sir. Welcome to our restaurant. Do you have any reservations for today?” We were immediately greeted by the staff here at the restaurant when we entered. I looked around the inside of the restaurant and I can say that it is a very expensive restaurant because of their equipment which is almost all gold and silver. The ambiance here is also nice and quiet and what I noticed is that there are only a few people eating here today but you can see that they all have a luxurious life. I'm holding my children in both hands and they too seem to be amazed at the restaurant where we will have lunch. I suddenly felt ashamed of Benedict because I'm sure our bill will be big later and unfortunately I don't have a lot of money with me because I'm saving and I only have a little savings left for my children and I's expenses. I think I need to find a part time job so that I can somehow earn some money. I'm also as
CHAPTER 40: REJECTED SHANBRI POV "Ayiee, answer sir, ma'am!" "Yes, that's it!" "Congratulations right away!" I remained silent despite the noise of my companions. They were all smiling and all they wanted to hear from me was my sweet "Yes" to Benedict's question to me. "Answer immediately, bes! Don't think about it anymore, okay?” I turned to Trish and she gave me a thumbs up. I could see the concern on her face because she knew me better than anyone in this room right now. She is the one who knows my true feelings best and I am also sure that she knows that I don't like Benedict from the beginning and it is unlikely that he will get the answer that he is most hoping for from me. Not at this time and certainly not forever. I took a deep breath and looked at Benedict seriously. I helped him stand up from his knees and caressed his handsome face. He smiled because of what I did and even our companions cheered. “Ben, I just want to say, thank you very much for the effort you
CHAPTER 41: ONLY YOURS THIRD PERSON POV After Kenji Yael married Kate, her daddy fulfilled his promise and Kenji regained their company, but all their businesses were merged with Kate's family company because of the marriage that took place. But Kenji assured that he will still remain the CEO of KY Villamor's Corporation and he will still manage their company so it should still be his decision that will be followed. With each passing day, Kenji spent his time and energy running their company to make up for all that was lost and get it back to normal. He couldn't take a long break because he was too focused on work and the company. That's why he rarely gets to spend time with his wife because he is not giving time for her. Because of Kenji's cold treatment of his wife, Kate is always moody and like a leech when she is with Kenji even though he doesn't pay attention to her. "Baby! Can we go on a date today, please? Since we got married, we haven't been on a date or even gone for
CHAPTER 42: FIRST DATE THIRD PERSON POV Kate is very happy now because Kenji finally agreed to go on a date with her today because it's the weekend and that's why they don't have work. This is the first date of the two officially since they got married. That's why it's a very important day for Kate but for Kenji it's just a normal day to take a break from stressful work. "Are you enjoying the movie, baby? Why are you so silent? Talk to me, hmm?” Kate responded softly to her husband as they held hands inside the cinema. "I'm fine, just focus on watching. Don't mind me," Kenji simply answered as he looked directly at the big screen but something else was running through his mind at that moment. After a few minutes, the movie is in the steamy part and the scene now is the bed scene of the movie stars. Kate's body immediately heated up because of the hot scene while it seemed to have no effect on Kenji because there was no emotion on his face. You wouldn't even see the joy in his
CHAPTER 43: MYSTERIOUS GUY THIRD PERSON POV Twins Yaj and Bri just finished class. They are currently at the gate of their school waiting for their mom because the security guard cannot let them out without their guardian to fetch them. "What is taking mommy so long? I want to go home already, brother," Bri complained to her brother Yaj because until now their mommy is still not there to pick them up at the daycare center where they are studying. "Just hang on there a little bit, Bri. I am sure mom is already on the way so she will arrive here to fetch us as soon as possible," Yaj replied to his sister to make sure that she would not worry and get bored while waiting. The two looked at their schoolmates who were happily being fetched by their daddy and almost all of them had their fancy cars. The two suddenly felt sad but they just ignored them. Even though they are jealous of their fellow students, they know that they can't do anything about it because their daddy is not with t
CHAPTER 44: DAD'S DUTY SHANBRI POV I am here today at a cafe near the daycare center where my children attend. I would like to try to apply here so that I can have a part-time job at least because I also need to earn for our daily expenses. I chose to apply to this Cafe so that I can be closer to my children's school and I can easily pick them up and we can also go together whenever they go to school and I am here at my part time job. I was just a little worried because I knew it was time to pick up the twins from their school but I was still here at the Cafe and was told to wait for their manager for my interview. As a matter of fact, I'm sure the twins are safe at their school because I know they won't be let out there without their guardian to pick them up. I just let out a sigh of relief and quietly waited for the manager inside his office. A few minutes later the office door opened and it spat out a stunning man who I think was in his mid-twenties. I immediately stood up a
CHAPTER 45: FAMILIAR SHANBRI POV I woke up the twins early because we were leaving the house together today. It's the first day of my part time job at the Cafe and I want to go to work early so I can have a good start. I just took my children with me because their school is close to the Cafe where I will be working. I told the children not to go out with anyone again, especially if they don't know them. I don't want a repeat of what happened yesterday.So I told the security guard of their school that if possible, they should not be allowed to go with others again and not let them leave the school until I pick them up. After dropping off the twins at their school, I went straight to the Cafe and it looks like I'm early because it's only 7:00 am and my work here starts at 8:00 am and the Cafe opens every 9:00 am. I saw that the door of the Cafe was open so maybe someone was already inside. Maybe it's one of the caretakers who come from the Cafe every morning or maybe my boss, S
