A year passed, and Matthew is now the head of Research and development of the Patrick business. He found out that Matthew was brilliant and had many ideas on how to improve their product. Matthew even plans to export their product abroad. He wanted their product to be known not only locally but overseas, too. Patrick and Celeste adore him and Abby, who are the constant visitors of Patrick and Celeste's home. Matthew and Abby live a happy life for almost two years. One day, while Abby and Matthew were having lunch at Patrick and Celeste's residence, Abby fainted, causing everyone to panic.She was brought to the Hospital with Matthew, dying of worries. It was the first time Abby got sick, and it scared him. "Matthew, can you sit down? You're making me dizzy." Celeste scolded Matthew, pacing back and forth before her and his husband."I'm scared, I'm worried. Abby, she's okay, right? I saw her throw up a few days ago, but she never told me that she was sick. She said she ate somethin
Abby glanced at Patrick beside her with eyes brimming with tears, and he smiled at her. "Stop crying. You'll ruin your makeup, and it's bad for my grandchild." A sob escaped from her lips, and she wrapped her arms around him. "Keep moving. Matthew might think you don't want to marry him." He whispered. Abby pulled away from the hug and composed herself. They continue moving until they reach in front of Matthew. Abby quickly threw herself at him and cried.,"Hey, Sorry for not giving you a proper proposal and going straight to the wedding. I..."You sneaky ass." Abby hissed, then smack him. Everyone gasped for a few seconds, then oh and laughed when she crashed her lips at him, then pulled away and dragged the still-stunned Matthew in front of the priest."Father, you can start the wedding now." She said, wiping her tears again. Matthew chuckled beside her, as well as the people around them, including the priest. The wedding ended with full of laughter, with a big feast after. Patrick
"Wake up, my lovely wife," Matthew whispered, kissing Abby's forehead. He was already dressed up and ready to leave. "Abby, babe, wake up. I'm leaving." He pecked her pouting lips and tenderly caressed her face. Abby opened her eyes, and he smiled and pecked her lips. "Good morning." He helped her to sit, and he sat beside her. "Morning! Babe." She smiled and wrapped her arm around his neck, leaning her head on his shoulder. He kissed the crown of her head and flattened her messy hair. "I'm leaving." He whispered. She pulled away from the hug, and he brushed the loose hair away from her face. "You want me to buy you something? Food, clothes, or things we need for baby Ara?""We already have everything. Just come back home as soon as possible.""Okay, eat your breakfast later. Don't skip meals.""Okay, Daddy." She teased. He smiled and gathered her in his arms again. "Be careful when you walk around, and don't tire yourself so much." Abby smiled and nodded her head. "Wait for me la
ABBYI heard whispered and hush voices around me, but my body felt heavy and numb. Even my eyelids, I can't open them. It felt like a ton of weight was weighing them down. I tried to move my fingers, but even that was futile. I attempted to make a sound, but nothing came out.I gave up and used my sense of hearing to know what was happening around me. A loud cry echoed around, and I cringed, then I gasped. A baby? My baby. I tried my hardest to move and open my eyes when another painful cry sounded, and I heard someone come in and try to hush the baby."Hush baby. Mommy will wake up soon." Auntie?? I forced my finger to move, and I heard the beeping sound pick up, maybe my heart monitor. "Patrick called the nurse Abby's heart monitor_ I heard feet scamper away, Auntie Celeste sob, and the baby cry echoed around me again. I tried to move my finger again, and I made a little movement. I heard feet nearing, and after a few seconds, my one eye was forced open, and a blinding light flashed
ABBY"Can I hold her, Aunty? Aunty Celeste hesitated while trying to calm the bawling Arabella in her arms. "Let me hold her, Aunty. I'm fine now." I whispered, wiping my tears away and leaning my back on the headboard of my bed to support my body. Aunty Celeste hesitantly placed the bawling Arabella in my arms and put a pillow on my back. She cried hard, flailing her arms and legs as if someone was hurting her. I smiled and tenderly wiped her tears, and she quickly stopped crying. "I'll just make her some formula. Maybe she was hungry." Aunty said and went to the corner and pulled a milk bottle flask and a milk powder. "Hello, Arabella. I am your mommy. " I smile and poke her nose. She let out a gurgling sound, crunching her nose while looking at me. She looks so cute. Even though she's only three months old, she's a bit bigger than her age. Her cheek was rosy and chubby, with a thin hair on her head. She's wearing a pink onesie with a bunny printed on it. "Your Daddy already left
I sat uncomfortably on the couch with Arabella on my lap. Mia's eyes were piercings on me while Arabella was looking at her with a smile plastered on her lips. It was the first time I brought a guest to our home, and she found her fascinating, with her bright red hair like her Barbie doll. I brought her home because I was sure she wouldn't let me leave until she got all the answers to all her questions. "Abby.""Bella, can you play with Nanny Sarah for a while? Mommy and Aunt Mia have something to talk about. It's an adult thing and not good for the kids to hear.""Ok, mommy." She kissed my cheek before she ran toward her nanny, and I waited for her to get inside her room before I focused all my attention on Mia."How are you, Mia?" "You change." She muttered."I need to.""What happened, Abby? You know how worried I am, as well as Cora. You didn't even say goodbye to us, so we won't worry. We search everywhere to find you and Matthew, afraid that his parents found you first and wil
MIA"What? I bolted up from my seat, eyes wide open. "You....your Matthew? As in Matthew Kim?" I asked, surprised, but he just chuckled."Yes, as in Matthew Kim.""But you died five years ago.""Oh so, you and your boss were one of the shareholders that my parents didn't inform about my fake death because someone is after me. I'm sorry about that, Mrs. Arevalo. I think my mother forgot to tell you." He said as if we were only talking about the weather today. He even shrugged his shoulder. While I am seething in anger, seeing his calm demeanor. "How could you? I screamed. I rushed to him and landed a slap on his face. He almost fell to the floor without the help of his assistant. "How could you do this? How could you do this to her?" I tried to slap him again, but he caught my hand before it touched his face. "What is your problem? He seethed and pushed my can't away. "What is my problem? My problem is you." I screamed, tears now welling from my eyes. "Guard!!! He screamed, and two
ABBYIt was already four in the afternoon when Mia burst inside my office with tears streaming down her face. I was surprised when she quickly hugged me tightly, sobbing."Mia! What's wrong? What happened at the shareholders meeting of the Kim. Is Kayla there? Does she hurt you?" I asked, worried."Abby. Oh my god, Abby. He's there. He is in there in the flesh. I can't believe it with my own two eyes. But he was there. I touch him. I talk to him." She blabbered, now pacing back and forth in front of me."Who was there, Mia? And can you stop pacing back and forth in front of me? You're making me dizzy.""Abby. He was there in the flesh. He is alive.""Who are you talking about?" I asked again, annoyed. She is starting to annoy me for mentioning him without telling me the name of the person she was talking about. "Matthew. Matthew Kim. " I staggered backward, and I slumped on my seat."Mi..Mia. Please don't joke about him. It's not funny at all." I said, clutching my chest where my hea
