Paint My World Red Chapter 142 – Good Vibe, Mommy
(Aya’s POV)My optimism went under the bed, and my perspective hid in the closet as my hand grabbed the doorknob. I thought my hand stiffened because I could not open the bedroom door as soon as I twisted the knob. I stepped back and walked to the mirror to check on myself again. I inhaled, filling my lungs with air and slowly breathing out in my mouth.Ofelia and Marco had mentioned the possibility of their children helping in financing the business. I had been preparing my pitch for days to encourage them to support us with our plan, but I realized baking was easier than asking for investment, and discussing how we intend to return or grow their money was complicated.On our second day here, as Katie and I looked around the area of the B&B, I thought of renovating and upgrading the whole site of The Sophia House, not just the lodge but everything. But adding more amenities and fun activities so guests could enjoy their stay was too good to be true because when Marco and I asked abou
Paint My World Red Chapter 143 – I Am Mommy's Partner
(Aya’s POV)I swallowed hard, pushing my heart back to my chest as I looked at Ofelia and then at her two sons. Why didn’t I see it from the beginning? Mourning was not an excuse for me not to realize where or how I met Ofelia. We did not precisely meet in person per se, but I had seen her photos before, and she might have seen mine in his son’s gallery or on his social media account. It must also be the reason why Gracie thought she had seen me before.“Aya? What are you doing here?” He asked again.When I answered him with a blink, he curved his lips into a friendly smile and gazed lovingly at my daughter. “Katie, what are you doing here?”“You know each other?” Ofelia and his eldest son asked at the same time.“Mommy and I…” she pursed her lips and craned her neck to look at me before answering. “We’re on a field trip.”“How do you know her?” asked his brother as he studied my face. His eyes narrowed, slowly gliding his gaze from my head and stopping at the slope of my breasts hidd
Paint My World Red Chapter 144 – It's A Long Story
(Aya’s POV)“Why?” I stood up, my eyes not leaving Jared.Curiosity joined us in the living room. Gino eyed his brother, probably wondering at the amount he wrote in the check. Even Ofelia looked at her older son and gave him a quizzical look at his son’s behavior.“Why?” Jared scoffed. “Let’s just say I love this place. I grew up here and...” His lips curved into a smile, causing my heart to beat strangely. “I love the pond idea.”Katie giggled when he winked at her, but she moved her lips from side to side as she turned her head at the paper I held because Gino seemed could not take his eyes off it.Jared returned the checkbook to his bag and took it. “I changed my mind, mom. I’m staying a day or two.”“Huh?” Gino furrowed his eyebrows. “I thought you’ll leave after talking to the owner?” Gino asked before their mother could raise the question.He smirked. “The drive here was not a joke, Gino.” He looked at Katie. “Besides, if my dad fills the pond with water alone, it’ll take years
Paint My World Red Chapter 145 – The Mixed Story
(Aya’s POV)I waited until Katie was finally asleep before getting out of bed. I kissed her forehead again and took the folder and a pouch before exiting the bedroom. I found Aunt Mae smiling and sitting on the couch, browsing her phone. When I got closer, I saw she was looking at the photos she had taken a while ago, mainly of Katie’s.“Your daughter’s so adorable,” she chuckled, zooming in on her picture. “We have one of these in Myra’s photos her age. It’s like looking at her when she’s four.”I sat beside Aunt Mae, placing the envelope and the pouch beside me, and leaned closer to look at the picture.“You know she’s not my daughter...” My voice trailed off as I stared, panic-stricken, at my aunt.She tilted her head and nodded, pursing her lips as she held my hand. “That’s one of the reasons why I’m here, Aya. Myra asked for my help and -”As if I was burnt by the name she mentioned, I took my hand away from her and clenched my fists, placing them on my lap. I lowered my head and
Paint My World Red Chapter 146 – Aya or The Dog
(Red’s POV)“Red, what happened to the kids?” Ariana asked, her voice in a panic.I raised my head and watched my sister enter the study room, glancing back as if checking if she had closed the door behind her before she walked in my direction. My eyebrows knitted, thinking about where I last saw them an hour ago.“In the family room?” I answered, unsure. “Why?” I stopped reading the report Liam gave me a while ago.I stood up, suddenly worried at the urgency of Ariana’s voice. My sister would not be here if none of my kids had contacted her, especially Violet. My eyes narrowed, thinking what the problem could be. I walked toward the door, hoping they were still in the family room.“Green called me,” she answered, following me as I exited the study room. “God, I know they were just with me yesterday, but Red, when he called me, and everyone’s talking to me at the same, I panicked.”I must have absorbed the panic in my sister’s body because fear and worry crept through me when I saw th
Paint My World Red Chapter 147 – First Law
(Aya’s POV)“Are you okay?” Jared asked.I hid my surprise when I read the worry and concern that flooded his face when I saw him sitting on the rubber tire swing his father had made for Katie. It was Aunt Mae’s idea to invite everyone for a barbeque party near our dream pond, but my tummy began to get upset as soon as my nose caught the scent of the herb Gracie mixed in the sauce. I had to excuse myself immediately and dashed inside the lodge, imprisoned myself to the shared bathroom near the living room, and threw up.“Yeah, I’m okay,” I forced a smile, glancing at the pathway to the pond.I had no intention of going back yet, hoping to sit on the swing for a while, but with Jared sitting there as if he was feeling nostalgic about the place, I couldn’t ask him to stand and give me the seat. I was also feeling dizzy, so I opted out of the idea of relaxing on the swing. Instead, I chose to step toward the wooden bench near the tree.“Katie’s a smart kid,” he smiled, showing me the bac
Paint My World Red Chapter 148 – Nobody Said It Was A Reunion
(Aya’s POV)“You should have remained at rest, Aya. Hidden, you know, if you didn’t want to be found,” Deidre smirked at me as we waited for Katie and Gino.“I didn’t know you knew Newton,” I sneered, thinking of thousand excuses of what to tell the Cortez about the sudden delivery of kitchen appliances and ‘who-knew-what-else’ was in the other boxes.“We used to be friends… lovers,” she glanced at me and chuckled briefly, then sighed, her lips curving a sad smile. “We broke up.”I rolled my eyes, still wondering how I became acquainted with this crazy woman. I used to hate her, but after everything she did for Katie and me, I could not afford even to get annoyed at her.“I always hear it from Red, especially when he’s so determined to achieve something,” she scoffed, lifting one corner of her mouth. “Your husband won’t be a multi-billionaire if he remained in motion with a constant velocity.”When I raised my eyebrows, Deidre rolled her eyes and laughed, leaning to her side, closer t
Paint My World Red Chapter 149 – Is It My Turn
(Aya’s POV)“How did you know I’m here?” I asked Myra calmly, reminding myself a million times of my present condition.“I’m the one who told her, Aya,” Aunt Mae answered for my sister.I heaved a deep sigh, not glancing at my aunt, who had told me she would set things right, but I must be a magnet of misfortunes because, as my eyes wandered, everyone was here, and the only person lacking was Scarlett.“I’m taking my daughter, Aya,” Myra muttered, not wasting her time.My sister did not even consider what Katie would feel or that we were in the middle of a gathering. I closed my eyes, breathing calmly, imagining mom telling me she was my sister, and hearing dad’s voice saying ‘enough’ as he tried to stop us from our overblown argument.“Don’t give me to that witch, daddy,” whimpered Katie, surprising us. She clung tightly to his neck, even wrapping her legs around his body.As if she was in real danger, her five siblings ran to their father, standing before Red, looking like they were
