I opened my eyes when I felt something touch the side of my lips. And I caught Rod sleeping peacefully on my lap.Who was that?"Rod," I tried to wake him up.He slowly open his eyes and shut it again.I bit my lip hard.Does he have no plans to stand up?"Rod, I need to cook."His face was frowning as he sat on the sofa."Are you feeling well?""I'm not sick," he said.Here he is again. I think we're back to normal."I’m planning to cook some Lomi, do you like it?""Lomi? Not that quick chow, right?”I chuckled. Does he still remember that?"Quick chow is delicious," I said, holding back my laughter.He hates quick chow.He glared at me.Oh. Did I overdue to tease him?"Uhm, I think you take shower first while I’m preparing for our breakfast," I said."Help me to go upstairs," he ordered. I nodded and help me to go upstairs to his room.When we entered his room, I stared at him for a couple of sec. "What? Are you planning to watch me to take a bath?”I blushed and looked away. "I'm n

“How did you get there? Are you following us?”“That's my aunt's coffee shop. I didn't know that you and your boyfriend went there.""What are you doing there? Don't tell you just thought about going there at this hour?”"I'm not following you if that's what you're thinking. It just happened that I ordered coffee from my aunt because I still had to finish the project I was working on for a client."Is he working? Isn't he still a student? I looked at what he was holding, it was coffee."There was no one to deliver so she asked me to pick up my order. Then I saw you and Rod. Since I know what happened to you, that's why I helped you."I narrowed my eyes at him."Why? What do you know about us?""That you're a mistress," he said seriously.W-What?“Right. Mistress indeed," I laughed, a laugh full of bitterness and pain.He handed me a handkerchief."Go into your room and cry there." He said after he averted his eyes to me.I nodded and took the handkerchief he gave me.All of my problem

SUNDAY, I am here outside his room because I want him to know that I am leaving but before I could knock, I hear him talking someone over the phone. "I don't want to trust her anymore. I really thought we were fine but she lied. She is no longer the March I knew," I do not know who he’s talking to. "No. I will continue my plan," he added. I didn't bother to knock and tell him I’m leaving. I left without saying goodbye. Whatever Rod is planning, I hope that's not the reason for me to give up on him. I went home to Eya's house where my children were. "MOM!!" They shouted and mobbed me at the same time. “Oh! Your quintuplets miss you so much," Karen said while holding a tea. "Where are the others?" "Symon and Eya left. Juni, visited her family in Tagoloan," Karen Oh, I see. "Mom, up!" I smiled at what AJ said. "How is mom's baby girl doing? Do you miss me?" "I miss you so much, mommy. Why doesn’t your boss allow you to go home?" I frowned and looked at Karen. She’s looking bac

"CJ, let's go," I saidBut Rod held my hand to stop me, and I was even more surprised when I saw him bending his knees in front of me."I'm sorry…" he cried. "I'm so sorry.."I don’t know what to do. He’s kneeling and gripping my legs tightly. He's crying uncontrollably, and CJ buried his face on my neck, just to avert his gaze from his dad."Mama, is he really my father?" he asked. It was a whisper but we heard it clearly.Now it's confirmed that I'm not really married; that I just made it all up."He said his name is James. Is he my father?"I nodded while crying. CJ sobbed even more. He’s crying like the world turned against him. That he has been betrayed by fate.It’s painful for me to hear that.Ever since, CJ didn’t cry like this. He’s been acting tough and strong for his siblings.But now, it’s different.CJ shook his head, refusing to acknowledge that Rod is his father. "Mama, I don't want him to be my dad."I could still remember how much he despised his father. Among his sib

"Eya, please don't," I whispered. I was in the room, locked by Rod. I had my son CJ with me, dozing off on the bed."We'll report that beast to the police!""Eya, it will just cause chaos. You know how powerful the Chavez is.""But that's kidnapping, March!""He doesn't want us to leave. He wants us to stay by his side.""What? That idiot is really losing it. He's already married."I know and I don't know what he’s thinking for locking us here. Even his mom couldn't stop him earlier. I knew they argue before he ordered the bodyguards to take us to the room."He doesn’t have a plan to lock me here, Eya. But he said he'll take CJ away from me if I try to leave. He's making me to choose to stay."Eya cursed on the other line."What do you want us to do?"I looked at my son.I’m dying now that they found out about CJ, how much more if Rod learn about the other?"Help me to hide BJ, AJ, DJ and EJ, Eya. I have no one else to rely on." I am so damn afraid of what the chairman or Clarissa mi
