My hand started shaking and cold sweat fall down from my forehead. I was stunned like a statue hearing the breathy, panicking, and shaking voice of Ransom's mother. "C-Camilla...my husband has a heart attack." my mother-in-law said that making my heart fall to the ground. An image flashed in my mind and the first thing I think was Ransom... Ransom how was he? Did my mother-in-law call him already? Is he okay? I pulled myself together. "Mom, breathe slowly. calm down and I'll goes there now." I instructed her. "C-Camilla please c-come faster..." she called out my name begging and I can hear how her voice cracked from the cellphone I was holding. The call ended. I quickly put my phone in the pocket of my pants and I glanced at Beth. "Beth, it's an emergency can you do me a favor and take care of baby Yumi? I need to go to the hospital." I said. She didn't have any hesitation and nodded at me quickly. "Yes ma'am," she replied. I quickly run up to stairs to get my things and I q
Doctors and nurses were trying to revive his father’s life. I was shocked and I can’t move and just cover up my mouth while crying at those times. I can’t believe it's happening and I can accept it. I know it was just a dream. It’s impossible to happen. But I saw the doctor shaking his head while facing his nurses. I looked at my mother-in-law who was crying and shouting in pain. I immediately hugged her so tight while crying. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Crosby. We did everything to save your husband’s life. But we have nothing to do anymore, “he said sadly. Suddenly my mother-in-law lose consciousness and fortunately, I catch her. They bring her to the other room and I really don’t know what to do. My mind was totally confused and shocked. I saw Ransom still hugging his father’s lifeless body while crying. I can’t help but cry while remembering all the kindness his father showed me. “Dad, please wake up. Please don’t leave me, “he begged while his tears fell from his eyes. “R..Ransom y
“Don't act like you really care about me “he said seriously. I got hurt by what I heard from him. Is it wrong for me to care about him? I am his wife so I should just care about him. I take the courage to face him and I saw her eyebrows frown while looking at me. “I’m still your wife, Ransom. Say what you want to say!” I said emphatically. I can’t look into his eyes anymore so I immediately leave him alone. I really can’t help my tears from falling down. While I was walking out of the house, I accidentally bumped into a man in a white long-sleeve, tall, white, and with long hair. I was stunned for a moment while staring at him. Not because of his beauty, but because my mind was just floating on what Ransom said to me earlier. "I'm sorry, Miss. I didn't mean to." He apologized while helping me stand up. "It’s okay, Sir. It was me who wasn't careful," I said. We were both surprised when Ransom suddenly passed in front of us. "I'm still flirting here at home," he said. I was v
“I saw him with a beautiful woman, “he said. I can’t explain my feeling when I heard those words from him. I can’t believe at what he said to me. “Are you serious?” I asked him. No, it’s not true. “Yes I’m sure, “he answered seriously. I shook my head and my tears started to fall at those times. It really hurts to know that he cheated on me. He was with another woman while our daughter is in the hospital. Fuck! But I still need him and I really need to find him for the sake of our daughter. I immediately leave the bar and hailed a Taxi. I remember the hotel where we accidentally did that crazy thing. I think he brought that woman to that hotel. But I don’t care anymore. Suddenly my phone rang and I saw Beth calling. I immediately answered the call as my hand shook while holding the phone. “Beth, please tell the doctor to just wait. I’m still looking for Ransom,” I said emphatically. “It’s too late, Ma’am” she cried. My hands shaking and I can’t explain the nervousness I fel
He smile at me softly when two deep dimples in his cheeks showed. "Good afternoon Ma'am Camilla, I was waiting for you." a soft voice with a charm in it. The handsome young man in front of me. I admit that he is quite charming however I am confused. "I see that you are confused Ma'am, I am Anthony the caretaker of this mansion!" He added and looked at me straight in the eyes. I notice that this man had two brown pairs of eyes and long lashes. He lead me inside the mansion and I was fascinated by how gorgeous the mansion is." Sir Anthony.... " I called his name stopping my two feet. He stop and looked at me. "Ohh Ma'am Camilla, Sir is too formal. Just call me Anthony," he answered. Is he the one who help me to get home? Who is he? I cough, clearing my voice. "Okay, Anthony!" I replied. I pressed my two palms to each other stamping my feet on the floor. I gather all my courage and smile at Anthony. "Thank you so much Anthony for helping me," I added. I blinked twice when h
I no longer struggle and it seems my body gives up. I let Anthony do what he did. It somehow reduces the weight I feel that I hide every night. My eyelids were slowly getting heavy and I didn't realize that I was asleep after Anthony stayed with me for a few hours. That I woke up early and came down with my hair tied in a messy bun while I was wearing only a loose t-shirt and short shorts. I yawned thinking my eyes were puffy from all that crying. When I went down the stairs and I was about to go to the kitchen, I stopped when I saw Anthony at the dining table while putting plates on the table. My face heated up thinking about what I did yesterday night.... So embarrassing, I can smell the dishes on the table. I can see his hair is still wet. Did he take a bath huh? He did all this work when he could just possibly ask the maids to take care of handling the plates. He is well dressed in the morning. "Anthony?" Anthony is strong. He quickly turned in my direction while holding
I put my bath towel on my shoulder and answered the call. "Hello? Camilla? Am I interrupting you?" he immediately asked me. "I didn't just finish talking to Andrea, what's wrong?" I answered Anthony on the other line. "Can I talk to you for a moment? I'm sorry but could you come here? I'll text you the address and the name of the restaurant." he answered me. I was wondering because I have to go to where he is now, is there something ready? "Alright wait for me there in a few minutes," I answered him. He thanked me and hung up. I took a quick bath and get dressed also I quickly go to the restaurant he texted me. Wondering what he wants us to talk to that it will be in a restaurant. The taxi stopped in front of the restaurant and the first time I look at it, I knew that it will be an expensive one. From the transparent window, I saw Anthony waving at me, however, he wasn't alone. I saw another man next to him and smile politely. I took a deep breath and enter the restaurant. I
That's crueler that I think I will lose myself if I did that. I immediately shook my head. "It's hard to admit but I didn't want to kill him." I immediately answered. I don't want him to be killed by someone even though I still couldn't forgive him for what he did. "But you want him to suffer right?" he asked me and I repeated how I told him my plan. Mimicking my voice. "I want my own money, Anthony. I don't want you to think I'm using you that's why I befriended you, please just help me find a job." I answered him. Instead, I thought of helping him find a good job with a big salary so that I could save. I don't talk about how hard it is because I can handle it. Because I want a new life. I want to have my own business so that I can fix the mess in life. I want to show Ransom that I can be alone without him, I want to change my weak self.... I want to make a change to make my life better without you Ransom. And I will prove it to you. If I have a lot of money, I can change
