N O E L L ENoah is ready to go to his first match. He is very enthusiastic about it. I don’t even know if he slept well last night. Maxwell and I are wearing the same jersey shirt that Noah is wearing. “Let’s go, Hughes team!” Maxwell shouted, and I chuckled. Our jerseys have big HUGHES at the back, and I find it cute.“Let’s take a picture before heading out,” I said, and mom took the picture for us. Mom also joined us in a picture, and I took several shots. Maxwell posted it in his Instagram account with a caption, my son’s first soccer match. He is such a proud dad.The stadium is packed with the audience when we get there. “Good luck, baby. Do your best!” I said before kissing his forehead, and he smiled at me.“Do your best and have fun, son. I love you!” Maxwell said before pulling Noah into a hug.“I love you too, both!” He said before runni

L E V I“Good morning, sir.” Allen greeted me while I was staring at my computer screen. “The documents from your lawyers have arrived. It needs a signatory from Doctor Lewis. Would you like me to look and ask her to sign these papers?” He asked, and I shook my head.“Place it on my table. I will look and talk to her personally.” I said, and he nodded.A week had passed since Noah’s game, and I still couldn’t forget what dad said about settling down and giving him grandchildren. I couldn’t possibly do that in just a year. He can’t possibly give all of his wealth to Noah, right? Dad must be joking when he said that.I sigh while pinching the bridge of my nose in frustration, and stress. I haven’t seen Noelle since their department’s dinner. I have to see her. I need to talk to her.I know she clearly tells everyone that she is in love and in a relationship with

L E V I“What the fuck are you all doing here?” I asked as I looked at them one by one. They even brought two boxes of pizza and drinks. “What do you think of my office, you idiots!” I yelled in annoyance, and they all just laughed at me.“Chill, dude. We are all bored, and since you are not available to come with us, we decided to come to you instead. Aren’t we amazing friends?!” Jet said, and I groaned in frustration.“Can’t you see I’m busy?” I asked, and they just all ignored me. What kind of friends are they?Jet, Tom, Ray, and Ian are here in my office to disturb me. They were inviting me to climb a mountain today, but I refused. I don’t know what happened to their plan and it seems canceled since they are all here.I continue doing my work while they are busy talking, playing on their phones, and eating the food they brought. They are literally hanging o

M A X W E L L Two weeks had passed since Doctor Roberts stabbed me. My wound is now fully healed, and before I get back to work tomorrow, I take mom and Noah out. Mom and Noah took good care of me while I was resting at home. I think they deserve a treat. Noelle is on duty at the hospital, but we are planning to wait for her here in the mall.Mom, Noah, and I watched a Marvel movie, and then we ate at mom’s favorite restaurant even though Noah was complaining that he did not want to eat there. “Mom always takes you to your favorite fast-food chain, so you have to let her eat at her favorite restaurant this time,” I said, and Noah nodded.“You are such a good boy, son,” I said as I patted his head.“It’s because you are such a good man, dad. I am so lucky that you are my dad.” He said while smiling, and his eyebrows moved up and down. I chuckled at him.“Your compliment is creep

L E V IFuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!It is all in my head. My life is so fuck up. I can only curse inside my head and drink all the available alcoholic drinks in this bar.“Levi, calm down. Tell us what is going on so we can help you.” Jet said. I invited them to drink after I confronted Maxwell about Noah.I still couldn’t believe what I heard. It is impossible. It’s insane.My head is all over the place. I cannot think clearly, and all I know is I feel betrayed. I feel like I lost all the courage and hope that maybe… just maybe, I can still have Noelle.My chest is hurting so fucking much. I am disappointed and dismayed. I like Noah, but I never thought he was Noelle and Maxwell’s son. I was stunned and dumbfounded earlier when Maxwell told me that he was Noah’s dad. How can fate be this cruel?“Levi, stop drinking. What is going on?&
