Alex POV-AFTER I PACKED some clothes, I took a picture that had printed on it, the picture of me and Diana and Miracle where we went to the water park. I have many copies of it digitally and print.Tonight I will fly to Europe where I will rest while looking at my family from afar.When Diana left with Miracle and with Ronald, I thought I could lose them again and leave Diana and Miracle to Ronald. But less than a day after they left, I looked for them and my private investigator found them, from the country they went to the address where they live. By the time I found out that they were in Europe, I booked a flight with only money and a passport. In a panic and excited to see them, I didn’t think of bringing other things, but after I saw Diana and Miracle happy with Ronald, I looked at them FIRST from a distance.It’s been three months since they moved to Europe and it’s been three months since I’ve been flying to Europe to s
Diana Rose POV-I still can’t believe that I’m engaged to Ronald. Happiness radiates from within me as I contemplate the opportunity to give Miracle a wholesome family, and I am absolutely certain that Ronald will excel as a father and husband. Except for my parents and even Darryl, Ronald and I have told no one else about our engagement. “Would you like us to have an engagement party to let the people closest to us know we are getting married?” Ronald asked me.“I don’t think so.” I answered. “Why don’t you want to?”“No. Not that I don’t want to. You’re too busy right now.”“Don’t worry about me. I’ll try to have time if it’s for the two of us and for the three of us and Miracle.”Ronald doesn’t seem to want to lose. “Fine. But, if we’re going to have an engagement party, let’s plan it for when the building you’re working on is completed, and we should commence building our house here in Europe.It’s not that I’m demanding, but I want Ronald to not have to worry about the engage
Diana Rose POV-That night, Miracle and I just went home. I secretly waited for Ronald and saw that he had come home early in the morning.It was two nights ago after that night happened.I asked nothing. I also didn’t remind Ronald of that night, because I wanted him to tell me about that matter. I’m sure it’s impossible for him to forget that night.Until Ronald told me what happened that night, I couldn’t trust him.“Today we will enroll Miracle in kindergarten, right?” Ronald broke the silence between us while I was cooking breakfast.“Yes.” I answered, without looking at him.“I’ll go with you. I won’t do anything today.”“It’s up to you, if you are not busy.”“No. I cleared my schedule for today. After that we’ll go for a walk or we can go to an amusement park. What do you think?”“Why not?”“Diana, is there a problem?”After I put the bacon and ham I cooked on the plate, I faced Ronald. “Nothing.” I answered again with a smile and placed the plate on the table.I was about to
Diana Rose POV-It was MIDDLE NIGHT when Ronald came home drunk. It’s such a relief that he drove without a single accident. I wiped Ronald’s upper body and changed his clothes, I put a blanket on him.“You shouldn’t be getting drunk like this.” I coldly said to him I didn’t know if he heard because his eyes were closed. “I’m going out.”I was about to stand up but Ronald grabbed my hand so I looked at him. Now his eyes are open and bulging from drunkenness. “Diana, I’m sorry.”I raised an eyebrow. “I’m sorry, for what?”Did he really commit a sin? Did he really cheat? Thinking about that, I still can’t handle it. What if I see him with his other girls? From lying down, Ronald sat up and held both of my hands. He caressed it using his thumb. “Diana, you know that I love you very much. I love you so much that I’m afraid of losing you in my life. You and Miracle that I o
Diana Rose POV-As soon as Miracle said a happy ‘yehey’, I couldn’t do anything but let Alex join us in shopping for school supplies. Miracle bought little, but since we were already here, I bought some other things that Miracle wanted. “Mommy, there are so many colors.”“You can take everything you want, baby,” Alex said with a smile to Miracle, who was carrying her. I looked at Alex and he noticed the way I looked at him in his peripheral vision. “I mean, baby, you only take the most important things...” Alex retorted without looking at me. “Am I correct?” he asked me as he looked at me. “Yes.” Miracle pouted her lips and looked at the colors again. “It’s hard to choose again.”“This is it baby, the sixty-four crayons set, one hundred sixty-eight pencil crayons and the one hundred sixty-eight color marker pens.”Miracle’s eyes almost had stars in admiration of how Al
Diana Rose POV-“Bye, Miracle. I’ll pick you up before three in the afternoon, okay?” I told her, then kissed her on the forehead.“Bye, baby. Good luck on your first day of school.”“Thank you, mommy and Papa!”Miracle hugged us before entering the classroom.I followed Miracle until she entered the classroom.I don’t want to leave Miracle. What if she cries and then looks for me? What if someone fights with her and I’m not by her side to protect her?“Hey, why is the situation reversed?”I looked at Ronald with a revolt look.“I mean, why does it appear that you’re the one who doesn’t want to leave? Look at the other kids. Look at the other kids, they’re crying to their parents so their parents won’t leave them behind.”I rolled my eyes, then marched out.Ronald and I are still not on good terms or should I say that I still haven’t forgiven Ronald for hiding from me about Alex as his new engineer and making me feel he can’t trust me.I was about to stop the taxi when Ronald grabbed
Diana Rose POV-I sighed and cried every time I thought of the reason I couldn’t fix my problem with Ronald right away. I’m the one with the problem and I’m the one to blame.“Suddenly, I find my mind troubled by the brief period Alex and I spent together, as we seemed to be a happy family before moving here and also after our recent meeting.”Alex was right when he said we were like family. I just cut him off as he said that we are like family because that’s what my heart wants.“I feel like I’m betraying Ronald. I’m already engaged to Ronald, so I shouldn’t be thinking about Alex anymore.”“But no matter what you deny to yourself, you know Alex is still the one you love. Alex is the one you want to be with. Why don’t you cancel your engagement with Ronald as soon as possible?”I shook my head. “I can’t do that. Miracle has been with Ronald and Ronald has become Miracle’s father.”“How about your feelings? How about yourself?”I couldn’t answer that question.I can’t cancel our enga
Diana Rose POV-I can’t take my eyes off Alex while the other child girl is calling him daddy.Does he have a child the same age as Miracle? Does that mean all this time that Alex has own family?“Diana, why does it look like you saw a ghost?”The audacity to ask me that? After he made me hope we could form a family, yet he still has another family?I’m glad that I wasn’t moved by his sweet words before and what he did.“By the way, she’s my—”“I heard,” I interrupted, then smiled at him. “Your daughter.”“Yes, she’s my–”“Mommy!“Mommy!” the young girl shouted as Alex carried her.I followed the woman until she got close to Alex. Well, she is beautiful and sophisticated to look at. She looks like a decent woman. I wonder if she knows Alex has another child with me?“Alex, let’s go. You know, I’m in a hurry,” the woman said to Alex.“Ah, yes. Sorry, I forgot.”Alex looked at me, only then did the woman notice me.“We’re going first, Diana.”The woman looked at me from head to toe befo
