Artemis' POVWe'll just ruin each other. That's the only thing that goes on my mind for days. I'm going to mess with his life again. I'm just a poisonous person in his life. Someone who he will forgive even if I do something worse. It's always like that. And I don't want it. I don't want to see him that way. I can't forgive anyone who's ruining him and I'm not exempt at all."Umbrielle." I almost jumped in shock when someone spoke behind me."You're staring at nowhere again. You're thinking about him again," Ares said to me. I can see his worried eyes as he looks at me now. I just bit my lip."It's nothing," I said before smiling at him."Who are you fooling again? I'm your brother, Artemis," he said, still shaking his head at me.“Even with your therapist, you don't talk. You just choose the words that you wanted to say..." he said, staring again."I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me, Ares. Zelo has been waiting for you for a while. I'll go inside first," I said. Zelo is alrea
Artemis' POVI looked at her with a confused face."He doesn't really care at all if he gets hurt again. That one is always high blood to me when I do something bad to you, so I like to annoy you even more. What they said is really true, when you're smart, you're a fool in love," she said, still shaking her head."He was so in love with you that I doubt if he'll still be the same when you slip away from him again," she said. Those lines linger on my mind all day. Even when me and Ms. Yu part ways. I was still thinking about it.I fucking felt so bad thinking that Zelo was just acting like something didn't happen between us at all on that day just because he loves me. He loves me so he doesn't care anymore. As if he will forgive all my sins just because he doesn't want me to leave. That he'll settle for less just because he has feelings for me."Are the kids sleeping now?" Zelo asked when he entered the room a few days later. I nodded and gave him space to look at Athena and Hades."Ze
Artemis' POV"The only thing I don't understand is why you're overworking yourself when your husband is supporting you and your kids," Seb said to me.“Let her be. That girl has high pride. She's still being stubborn," Ares said, shaking his head at me. I just rolled my eyes at him before I stretched."Zelo's giving money for the kids. Not for me. I don't take my expenses from his money," I said, which is the reason why my brother's eyebrows raised."Wow, you still know Zelo? Whenever he is here, you are not at home. You may have forgotten your husband's face. Also, what if you spend his money? You two are still married?” he asked me so Seb just laughed at both of us because this is what we were arguing about again."I also don't fully understand why you seem to be more on Zelo's side? Maybe you're forgetting that I'm your sister, Ares.” He shrugged his shoulders at that."It's not like that. It's just that, how long will you stay like that? You two haven't spoken in almost a year and
Artemis' POV"But he left a bunch of things for you too, Mama!" Hades said to me with a smile so I gave back his energy before I pinched his cheek at the cuteness of how he talks in Tagalog.“So that's why there's a lot of boxes here again. Your Daddy spoils you two so much," I said, laughing before I carried him up and took him inside."That's just Daddy's love language, Mama... Especially when he misses us," he said, making me smile before agreeing. I feel that the five love languages are his too. He always do all of that."Don't you miss Daddy, Mama?" Hades asked me."I miss him too, Baby..." I said, just smiling at Hades."Then why—" He couldn't continue what he was going to say when I was immediately hugged by Athena's warm body."Mama! You weren't able to see Daddy again," she said so I didn't know if I should laugh or what."It's okay, Baby. We'll just go to Manila to visit him," I said, so Athena immediately relayed that to her brother so he could understand it better."Really
Artemis' POV"The kids wanted to visit. If it's fine with you, we'll go…” I said, not knowing how to look at him. And you really even used the children, Artemis."Of course, the kids can," he said, making me pout. Just kids? How about me?"And you can too if you don't have any work that day," he said casually. He even shrugged his shoulders at me so I couldn't help but pout. I just nodded there. His eyes stayed on me while I pretended to help our kids open the toys and their books. I can't look at him now. It's alright, I'll just let myself for now. During the weekend, I will finally say my true feelings."You just gave them new books and toys last week, you don't have to give them a lot..." I said, looking at him. I can see the frown on his face. He sighed because of that."I just miss—Them… Let me just spoil them for a while," he casually said as if he didn't want to argue with me while we were here in front of Athena and Hades today. I couldn't stop nodding there. I also know that
Artemis' POVHe was right about all of that. Even when we get back together. He was the one who kept on chasing after me however it would be different this time... If he doesn't have a girlfriend.I was just stunned in Hades' room for a while but soon after, I came out. Zelo didn't go home but he looked like he wasn't on his usual self while our kids were talking to him. I just cleared my throat before I went to their place. Zelo didn't seem to notice my arrival and the questions our kids were asking him.His lips parted when he saw me but he didn't say anything. He just stared at me.We were both absent-minded while taking care of our children. Both were in deep thought when we started eating. I felt everything he said. It was as if I was slapped by every word he uttered.Even when he left the next day, I didn't talk to him because he wasn't himself either."What's wrong with you?" Ares asked when I was in Seb's office again walking back and forth."How did you court Seb? How did you
Artemis' POV"Are you going to work now, Mama? Why are you going with her, Daddy?" Our kids looked at us in wonder when we took them to their school."I'm going to work now, Baby. Well, your Daddy can go to your school to watch over you if you want. Since he was actually unemployed right now," I said, making the children's eyes widen before shaking their heads. They even whispered as if what I said was a scary suggestion. I couldn't help but laugh softly at that."Daddy can come with you, Mama..." they said, laughing awkwardly. I also laughed softly when the father immediately pinched both of their cheeks.We are about to go to Manila but since Zelo decided to stay here now that the new president is starting to work, we didn't go anymore however we did celebrate his term. I don't know what Zelo's plan is for now, we haven't talked yet. However, I already told him that I'm really willing to court him and that's what I'm going to do right now.Since he was on vacation and sometimes work
Artemis' POV"Hey, Babe, we didn't have the chance to talk. You went back immediately.” I was going to work when I saw a man named Margus. They are at the table while having breakfast with their family. The woman yesterday also waved at Zelo. I looked at Zelo who raised his eyebrows now."Good morning, hope you are enjoying your stay in Hatty Resort," I greeted them before I continued walking. Zelo and I were together. I also immediately see his gaze on me."That guy is surely hitting on you," Zelo said when we went to the table near the shore. I just put my things down. Zelo will be hanging out here too now. Well, he was really enjoying his stay here in Cebu. Whenever I was taking a break, I saw him having fun trying the outdoor activities here in the resort. Probably enjoying his stress-free environment now."Aren't you going to say something?" he asked so I looked at him.“I told you no matter how many people hit on me, I don't really care at all. You are the only person I like, so
