Chapter 31Heart was surprised when the door suddenly opened while she was having her blood drawn. It was already seven in the morning, and she hadn’t eaten yet.Manang Siony went downstairs to buy some hot soup from a nearby eatery close to the hospital.“Good morning, Heart!” her friends greeted her in unison when they saw her.She laughed upon seeing them, with Gigi at the forefront. “You all are so early,” she said, hardly feeling the pain when the needle pricked her vein.“Well, of course. We can’t miss the sight of your beautiful face even in the morning,” her best friend remarked, but she noticed the guy behind the group.She frowned while sneaking a peek. “Bombay is with you,” Gigi whispered, rolling her eyes.“Let it go, there’s nothing we can do. You’ll just end up fighting.”“He’s so persistent, like a barnacle.”“What happened to you, Heart?” Aiza asked.At that moment, Franco put away his cell phone and faced her. The guy smiled at her.“I just missed my sweetheart,” he s

Chapter 33“JERK!”Lux’s eyes widened as he lifted himself from the bed, and a flying calculator hit him in the face. He dodged, but it landed on his chest. He took a deep breath and clenched his fists, staring at his furious, poised wife.“How dare you talk about me with those people?! What do you know about counseling? So, what are you telling your friends, that I have a problem?!” She angrily exclaimed, her eyes blazing.She stood by the office table, seemingly packing her bag, but it ended up as ammunition against him.“Will you damn calm down and explain that thing to me? Will you?” he asked in a tone that he couldn’t determine as anger or calm.“Why don’t you explain it yourself, Lux? Why are you discussing counseling with them? Do you have a problem with me?” she asked boldly.“Ask yourself,” he replied emotionlessly and flicked the comforter, “If you ever throw something at me again, Diana, don’t show your face to me. Maybe I won’t spare you.”Lux’s face darkened, as did his g

Chapter 35He pushed the door of the office when he didn’t find his secretary at her table, but he was halted when he saw luggage on the floor, just in front of a teenager. She’s wearing a black jumper and a white cap, hair was parted and dangling in front of her chest. “What the hell are you doing here, lady?” He raised an eyebrow as he questioned the teenage girl. She just looked at him, so he closed the door.Katy had grown so much, and at sixteen, she was remarkably beautiful. She looked like a beauty queen, sitting on a sofa with a very straight back and crossed legs, she could pass as a Bb. Pilipinas candidate.“What are you doing here, Katyleene Anne?” He asked seriously, using her full name, but she suddenly burst into tears. “Jesus,” he muttered and approached her. He removed her hat and examined her. “Kuya,” she said, sniffling again, but suddenly covered her mouth as if she was about to vomit.Lux felt like he’d been hit with a bucket of ice. He couldn’t move as his sister

Chapter 37Heart smiled at Vandros as he escorted her to the condo. He assisted her to the elevator, but they had to stop when Enrico appeared. The man’s face lit up with a smile when he saw her, but Vandros didn’t look too pleased.“You know him?” Vandros asked her discreetly, and she nodded in response.“Heart,” Enrico greeted her with a smile and approached quickly.“What happened to you? It’s been so long since I last saw you.”“I got sick, that’s why. I was confined to the hospital.”“Ah, that explains it,” he said, examining her. He seemed a bit under the influence of alcohol, but not too much.“Excuse me, Enrico,” she said and gestured to Vandros to enter the elevator.She felt nervous because what if Lux was with her and the two of them knew each other? She didn’t feel safe in that condo anymore. Lux needed to know everything so she could move out. Even a simple apartment would do, as long as no one could recognize her there.“You know him,” Vandros said as the elevator door c

Chapter 39They were on their way to an OB-Gynecologist for Katy’s checkup. She told him that she hadn’t taken any prenatal checkup. She said she only relied on calculating her pregnancy through the internet after taking a pregnancy test. There are many apps available to calculate the exact days of pregnancy. But ultrasound is different. Ultrasound has different calculations than the regular counting for a pregnant woman, so she insisted on getting a checkup. However, they were now in front of the Philippine Heart Center because she had seen Heart take a taxi from the condominium.She discreetly collected money there, but when she updated that she was going out and going to her parents’ place, she really waited for her.He was being foolish.Lux was eyeing Heart the moment she hopped out of the taxi. She was in shorts and rubber shoes, wearing a simple black blouse that showed a bit of midriff, but it wasn’t too daring. And at that moment, there was no need to question his body becaus
