The Bastarda's Contract with Mr. CEO CHAP 31
"Where did you go?" Mommy Francheska asked when I came home. She had a glass of wine in her hand as she sat on the couch. The epiphany suddenly came back to mind. I can't help but get annoyed and feel awful. I made my way up to her slowly. When I reached her front, I turned and gave her a hard stare. She met my cold gaze head-on. "Why?" I whispered. She raised an eyebrow. She didn't speak and just waited for me to add to what I said. My eyes clouded with tears. "Why did you send me to him, knowing that he's a dangerous person?" I continued. Her face lost all emotion. She slowly distanced her back from the chair and then placed the glass she was holding on the center table. After that she crossed her arms while looking at me. "Are you going to blame me?" she asked again instead of answering my question. I laughed so hard and my tears started to fall. "Did you even think of me as your child?" "You wouldn't be in this household if I didn't accept you as a child." She aver

The familiar heat of the weather touched my skin when I came out of the airport. I was wearing a black crop top shirt underneath my denim jacket that was hanging loosely on my back shoulders, paired it with my ripped fitted jeans—which made me look sophisticated. I roamed my eyes around and a small smile plastered on my lips when I saw my father. He was standing by the side of his car, waiting for my arrival. He didn't notice me yet because he was focused on typing on his phone so I started walking. My heels made a noise every time I stepped on the cement as well as the wheels of the suitcase I'm carrying, so when I was only two meters away from Daddy, he looked up at me. He quickly straightened up and greeted me with a smile. "Welcome back," he murmured as he gave me a hug. I let go of my suitcase and hugged him back. "Thanks, Dad." Daddy slowly let go after a few minutes and then stared at me blankly. He caressed my cheek for a moment before smiling again. I couldn't help but ch

"Are my babies behaving while Mommy is away?" I asked my children softly as we sat in the kitchen—preparing food. I'm sitting between the twins. Gio was on my left while Gia was on my right. They both know how to eat on their own, so I don't have too many problems when it comes to feeding. "Opo," they answered together in Tagalog slang. (Yes) I was stunned for a few seconds when they spoke Tagalog. Ever since the twins grew up and learned to talk, I never heard them like that. Even though I occasionally speak to them in Tagalog, their English is perfect for me. That's why I couldn't help but be surprised, adding that I suddenly remembered someone. I tried to smile at my children and then looked at my family who were watching with a smile. It seems that they have heard the two speak Tagalog because they are no longer shocked by it. I just shook my head and dismissed the memory that entered my mind. It is also good for them to learn to communicate with other children. We started e

It felt like deja vu. How I now ogle the structure as I stand in front of our workplace. The heartbeat I had experienced in the past was still present. The amazement as well as anxiety. I breathed in and out. I took one look at myself before deciding to walk. I can't deny that my nervousness doubled when I entered the company. When I was at home, I had already prepared for the employees' scrutinizing looks, that's why I was surprised when all I saw in their reactions was pure shock. Some of the employees are still familiar to me. There are some that I don't know, maybe they came in when I was gone. I tried to plaster a small smile on my lips. "Good morning," I greeted formally. The employees quickly returned to their respective ways and greeted back. Some of the staff who is wondering about my presence also did the same, maybe they felt that I was one of the higher ups. After that, a woman came right up to me and introduced herself as Daddy's secretary. "I will take you to your

"Mommy? Are you still there?" I couldn't speak. I could not even move. I tried to swallow the lump in my throat as I slowly ended my daughter's call. "Mr. Revelar," I uttered, acknowledging his presence. I almost had several saints to thank because I didn't stutter when I spoke. I composed myself and stood up from my seat. I adjusted my coat before looking at him. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be distracted. Anyway, you are here for the meeting, right?" I asked the obvious and glanced at my watch. Since this is how he actually was before, I cannot say that he is too early in the meeting. Before or during the meeting's scheduled time, he unexpectedly showing up. I attempted to put my internal dialogue aside and pay attention to him."Have a seat." I pointed to the visitor's chair with an open palm. He went over without saying anything. His legs were crossed as he sat in front. The stress I was feeling in my chest loosened gradually. He was acting professionally, which put me at ea

"K-Khrystal." I looked up at Mama who I didn't notice was already by my side. "Yes?" She didn't answer immediately. Instead, she just diverted her eyes from me to what I was doing. I'm currently preparing eggplant for the torta (fried eggplant with egg) I'm going to make. That's the twins' favorite. "Dear, are you planning to grind that eggplant?" she wondered, hesitation was in her tone. Only then was I able to focus on the eggplant that I was mashing with a fork. It's a mess. I don't know if it's eggplant or avocado because the flesh is so fine. I tried to laugh to get rid of the shame I felt and then put down my fork. "To mix well with the egg, Mama," I excused myself. I bit my bottom lip when Mama raised her eyebrows. She obviously didn't believe what I said. Later she grabbed the end of the stem and lifted it. "Do you hate eggplant?" I don't know whether to be ashamed or laugh because the branch was removed by the vegetable.In the end, I just grabbed the stem and then put

"Mommy?" A tiny familiar voice was trying to wake me up from my deep sleep. I let out a whimper before slowly opening my eyes. "Gia." I smiled after seeing her in front of me, tightly holding her stuffed toy—Stitch. Her head moved slightly to look at me. Later she came closer and placed her little hand on my forehead. "You are not sick, Mommy," she uttered. I couldn't help but let out a small giggle. "Of course, baby. Why would Mommy get sick?" I gently asked her. Instead of answering, she softly pouted her pink lips. She was about to speak again when her twin, Gio, came in the room. He was carrying a glass of water and was carefully bringing it towards me. I couldn't help but smile because at their young age they are able to take care of me the way they know how. "Thank you," I said. "Are you okay, Mom?" Gio asked when I finished taking a sip from it. I nodded and then placed the glass I was holding on the bedside table. "Is there a problem, babies?" "Mommy, is it your rest
The Bastarda's Contract with Mr. CEO CHAP 38
I don't know how I was able to drive despite my deep thoughts. What happened earlier made me feel hurt and lonely. Not for me but for my children. It's been almost three months since I told the twins about their father. That was not easy for me, if only I could hide the truth I would do it. But I also know that my children do not deserve to be lied to. They were three years old back then when they started asking about their father. Like normal children they also looked for a father. But at their young age, I know they won't fully understand everything yet so I better not mention anything. I did promise them that when they reach four years old, I will introduce them to their father. And I did it. I let out a deep breath as I finally parked my car in the company parking lot. Again I remembered the faces of the twins before I left the house. The sadness and regret in their eyes. For a moment I felt like I wanted to go back to Vista Querencia and comfort them as much as I could. But
