The Bastarda's Contract with Mr. CEO CHAP 42
I saw her smile. "I'm glad you still know me." I'm not sure how to respond. Even today, I'm not sure if her being here is genuine or sarcastic."What are you doing here?" I asked formally, trying to ignore some of my feelings. "Well, I'm with someone. We would like to hire you as the architect of the house I'm going to build," she answered. She will do it herself? I couldn't help but arch my brows. As if on cue, a woman in her fifties approached her. I blinked many times as the adrenaline in my chest thumped.I didn't even ask because I already knew who she was. Her looks were similar to his. Her eyes, nose, lips, and facial expressions remind me of Agustine."Anyway, meet Aunt Rosella, my fiance's mother. Aunt, meet Khrystal. One of Agustine's business partners," Lhea formally introduced. I tried to smile as she looked at me. Serious and not disrespectful, but even so a bit of anger that I saw from her eyes did not escape from me. I swallowed involuntarily and then gently poin
The Bastarda's Contract with Mr. CEO CHAP 43
I don't know how many minutes I was in my office. Hiring me as the architect of the house, being invited to the engagement party, strange looks from Agustine's mother—all of that is a puzzle to me. They are not terribly ill, right? In the end I let out a sigh and then put my things away. I intend to go to the old apartment I lived in; I hope that the owner will sell it to me. If my plan doesn't work out, I have no other choice but to find a condo unit for us. I hope it's available. After finishing the arrangement, I said goodbye to my secretary and left some instructions before finally leaving. A few minutes later, I got into the car and was about to put on my seatbelt when I was surprised when the car door opened. It's like deja vu. Agustine deposited himself on the passenger seat as he closed the door. "Let me have a ride again," he said (in hard Tagalog). I don't know whether to smile or be annoyed. I blinked twice before emphatically pointing to the outside of the car. Coldl
The Bastarda's Contract with Mr. CEO CHAP 44
Throughout the years, I never once imagined that the house I used to reside in would pass into his ownership. Something inside me admired him a little. He's an excellent businessman. He's a billionaire. I did not expect that even a simple property would catch his interest. I smiled and simply released my hand that he was holding. "You can tour me without holding my hand, Mr. Revelar." "Oh? Sorry, I forgot." He made a brief chuckle sound. "Just getting used to it," he whispered back and then started walking. I pretended to be unaware of what he said. I am not ignorant or stupid, I noticed his occasional flashbacks to our past. I don't know if he does that to annoy me or if he really just wants to embarrass me. I just shook my head and followed him even though I was a little worried inside. If I ever buy the house, he already knows where to find me. I am not presuming he will come to me; rather, I'm just getting ready for the possibility, especially since it is not impossible. It w

"Mommy, are you okay?" my son, Gio, asked. His eyebrows furrowed as he stared at me, as if he could not understand my emotion right now. I smiled and forced a smile while frowning at him. We are here now in the room; it's eight o'clock and they need to sleep. "I am fine, son. I'm just thinking about something," I replied and glanced at his twin sleeping soundly next to him. Gia fell asleep first, mom told me that she was tired from playing with Daddy earlier. "Don't forget to rest, Mom," Gio reminded. I smiled and nodded. I gently bent down and kissed him on the forehead, I did the same to his sister. I thought he was going to sleep, but he still kept looking at me. It's like someone wants to ask a question but does not know how to start. "Is there a problem, son?" I said sweetly then told him to the other side. I usually sleep between them, but because of my son's behavior, I thought that I needed to talk to him first. "I don't know if I am allowed to ask it," he murmured.

I had trouble falling asleep. Despite spending hours gazing at the ceiling, I haven't yet felt drowsy. In the end, I simply made the decision to leave the room and prepare a milk in the kitchen. "You are still awake." I looked up at Daddy when he spoke. He had just entered the kitchen and was holding a tumbler. I smiled at him and raised my glass. "I will just drink it," I replied politely. He smiled back at me then went to the fridge. "We're in the same house but I don't see you often anymore." He laughed softly. "How's work?" "I am sorry, I was just busy trying to get make up for the kids. It's okay, Dad. There's no problem with the company." I avoided sulking when I remembered Agustine. He is the only problem. Dad came to me after refilling his tumbler. He stared at me for a moment as if he was looking for something in my face. "You look stressed. Is it about Mr. Revelar?" he teased. I could not stop myself from rolling my eyes. "Dad," I said making him laugh. "Is he anno

I am not sure how to interact with Agustine. I'm aware that he is in my office. I observed him enter the building after the fiancée and her daughter had left.I first asked Mom to take the children to a neighboring park. I want them to take a brief breath. I am aware that seeing Agustine with his family a second time saddens them. I don't want to put this off any longer, though. I'll speak with him, us alone. I inhaled deeply a few times before quietly opened my office door. He was waiting for me in the visitor's chair, as I had anticipated. Our eyes locked right away.On normal days, I can greet him even as a business partner. Now I can't even do that. Yes, it's not his fault that my children caught up with them. But I can't help but feel bad. "Good morning, Ms. Dagsinal," he greeted. I remained silent. I simply went to my seat and sat down without showing any emotion. He raised an eyebrow at what I did. I was afraid he would condemn that, but he didn't, which is lucky for me beca

My body seemed to be moving on its own. I don't know how to think properly. Even though my knees were shaking, I still managed to run. Lord, please, not my son. "M-Miss, Giovani Dagsinal, please," I asked at the nurse assigned in the emergency ward. "H-He was taken to the operating room," a familiar voice interrupted. I unconsciously made a turn in her direction. Her eyes swelled up. Her daughter was seated at her side, sobbing quietly while her elbow was bandaged. Both of them were seated on a hospital bed."Lhea, why are you here? And what happened to Dianne?" Agustine was curious. Her throat was hardly moving. She gave me a sympathetic glance. She started to say something, but then she quickly stopped.Ultimately, I decided to disregard her. I don't give a damn about her. My son is who I need to see. Agustine was following me, but I did not pay attention to him as I swiftly ran away."K-Khrystal," Mom said when she saw me. I ignored her. I immediately went to Gia who was sitt

"Aren't you going to talk?" I took a deep breath and turned to face him. It's been almost ten minutes since we went up here on the hospital's rooftop. I invited him here so we can talk peacefully; that's what I believe. "I don't plan to hide them from you," I began. He scoffed. "Really? That's why I recently found out that I have kids," he mocked along with his intense glare. I bit my lower lip and looked away. "I was planning to tell you today." "Today," he repeated and laughed wearily. I screamed when he faced the wall and punched it hard. He let out a few more before looking at me again. I could see the pain and betrayal in his eyes. "You should have informed me right away when you found out you were pregnant, Khrystal! My children almost turned into bastards!" His veins nearly burst while screaming. "How can I let you know about my pregnancy if I thought you already got a family on your own, Agustine?! Do you think I also wanted to acknowledge my children as illegitimates?
