A Little Like Fate 58~ A new beginning
DELIA "Listen, Honey, I have to go. I need to go to work so that I can make ends meet for all of us. Surely you don't want me and little Andrew to be hungry in the upcoming days, right, Honey?" I patted the fur of wailing honey, my dog and Andrew's companion. I stood up and tried to leave the house quickly but Honey was quicker. She tugged on my pants. "Ugh... You never give up, do you?" I rolled my eyes and went to get her food. I dished some on her plate and watched her eat delightfully for the first ten seconds before dashing out. The moment I lock the door, a sigh escaped my lips. Such a demanding dog. As I arrived at the bus station, I realized I had forgotten my phone while trying to please Honey. I felt worried at first and then I thought, "Who's gonna call anyway? I barely receive those." I shrugged and stayed down at my baby, Andrew. He looked so dashing as he slept peacefully. Every morning, he earned stares from people on the bus; whenever he was sleeping, crying, or e

DELIA I itched the back of my neck nervously. "I don't know what to say." Honey barked into the living room and relaxes close to my leg. "You don't have to say anything now. It's all coming suddenly and I understand. Plus, you have a child to take care of, so please, don't stress yourself too much about it. I'm not needy or desperate. One thing I understand is that these things take time." He said, making me feel a little bit relieved. "If you say so."How was I supposed to tell him that I don't want to have anybody in my life anymore? My second roughest heartbreak taught me to be stronger and not just accept any man that shows interest in me. He must be able to prove himself before I could put in my all. I wish I had realized that sooner. But then, if I did, Andrew wouldn't be here with me? For him, I'd make that mistake a hundred times over. Andrew's hands went to my right b00b and he tried to take it with his mouth but he was unsuccessful because of the barrier; my clothes.

DELIA "So, how'd it go? Did you find him ridiculously handsome?" Hailey beamed but I could only roll my eyes and walk to my seat. I was tired and frustrated. I needed to let off some steam. "I would like to be left alone, please," I said briefly and bent my head on my desk. I was angry, annoyed, and sad, and I didn't want to take it out on her. "Alright. I'll leave you alone, for now though." She said and walked out, closing the door behind her. How did Levi find out where I was? And why was he pretending he didn't know I worked here? Or maybe he was telling the truth. I didn't know what to believe. I looked at Andrew who was busy playing. What if someone were to find out? Gosh, why was my life so messed up? Why couldn't I just live a life without drama? Andrew crept to my side, crying. I picked him up and checked his body for any injury but found none. His hands went to my brèast and he fondled it. That caused a roar of laughter from me. "I see what you did there, you little ra

LEVI I walked back to my office, disappointed in myself. Why couldn't I just be patient? Maybe I wouldn't have seen that scenario and maybe this many thoughts won't be coursing through my head. I relaxed in my seat and brought out my phone. It was ringing and when I checked the caller, it was my bad-mouthed sister. I groaned and answered the call. I placed the phone close to my ear and awaited the worst possible greeting from her. "Why did you travel out of the country and you didn't inform me?" She yelled. I had to move the phone away from my ear a little. "Answer me, you evil twin." She yelled even more. I placed the phone on loudspeaker and kept it on the table. I felt satisfied, at least nobody would be shouting inside my ear. "I'm sorry, ma'am. It was urgent and I needed to attend to it quickly. Besides, since when did it become your business as to where I travel to?" I arched a brow even though she couldn't see me. "My daughter misses you a lot and that's the saddest part

DELIA Hailey and I became quite distant from that day. I always saw her struggling to talk to Levi but he just wasn't giving her the vibes she wanted. She barely came to my office, I was the only one that visits her and she always gave me some kind of attitude. She stopped talking to me entirely and even stopped playing with Andrew. What sort of jealousy was that?I made it clear times without number that I wasn't trying to take Levi from her but Levi himself made things worse. He would always get gifts for me and Andrew, even though he had never touched him before. One day, I needed to run an errand for Levi and I didn't know anybody to keep Andrew with. Everybody was busy and he wouldn't just sleep. I had to beg her to stay in my office and watch him while I ran the errand. "Why can't I just go on the errand? Are you sure you're trying to help me win him over? All you're doing is standing in my way." She complained. "What more do you want me to do for you? Beg him on your behalf

DELIA "So, Lia, what's your answer? You already have enough time to think about my proposal and I don't care if we're doing it in front of anybody." Evans insisted. Hailey was there to report the situation of a book on Levi's orders and definitely against her will while Evans was asking me something personal at the office. "Can you have a sense of responsibility? This is an office, not a restaurant or a fancy place where people discuss their love interest." "You've been avoiding me for a long time and I need an answer. Stop keeping me waiting." It was as though he was forcing the answer on me. "Alright, fine. I decline. I decline your proposal. Aside from business, I don't want to have anything to do with you." I said firmly, without mincing words. "I won't back out of the fight just yet, Lia." He assured me and left the office. "Aren't you tired of struggling with what can't be yours?" Hailey asked and I was forced to look at her. "And what's that supposed to mean?" I arched
A Little Like Fate Chapter 64
LEVI I couldn't stop thinking about Delia after I left her. She had, once again, successfully wrapped me around her little finger. But she drew me close to her only for her to push me away. Or did I do something wrong? It was hard staying away from Andrew. Or did the father of the baby come back? Maybe I had really lost her to someone else this time. Once I entered my room, I checked my messages and saw her text. I frowned and deleted the message. Last month, my mother had introduced me to the daughter of one of her friends. No doubt the girl was heavily endowed but she wasn't my type. She was rude to those around her and spoke impolitely to her elders. She only respected her parents, my mom, and me, while others were like trash to her. Worst of it all, my mother didn't see her as that as she only put up the nice side. The girl, Fallon, got obsessed with me and began stalking my every move. She confronted every lady I had been with to restaurants to discuss business and she calle

DELIA "Why did you do that?" I hit Devin's shoulder after he told me what had gone down at the office. He was holding Andrew and I sat down beside him. "Ouch!" He rubbed his shoulder while glaring at me. "You complained to me and I did what I could." "Yeah, I know I did but I didn't want you to confront him. Now, he's never going to look at me again. No wonder he was so cold when we met." I clicked my tongue and stood up. I needed to calm myself with a bottle of water. "Wait, don't tell me you still like him. Come on Delia, what is wrong with you? Why do you like getting hurt?" "It's not that I like him or anything. I just wanted to see the kind of person he was and I found out he changed.""Okay, then why did you say he's getting too close to you?" "I don't know. Maybe because I thought he was. He changed a lot over the past year. He's become more responsible and focuses only on work." I said. "So what now? You're going to walk up to him and say, " Hello, Levi Elrod, I escaped
