A Little More than Strangers Chapter 16
Right after their conversation, Via booked an immediate flight to the US, and Cassie insisted that she would drop her off at the airport. She went along with her request since it would be long before they could meet each other again.“You really need to update me all the time, okay?” Cassie reminded her one last time.“Yes, I will. I will keep in touch and I will expect you to come before I give birth so that you can be with me during the childbirth,” Via chuckled.“Of course, that’s a given! I would be your child’s godmother!”Via checked the time before she hugged Cassie one more time. “I’ll see you soon, Cassie. I’ll miss you.”“Me too, Vi. I’m worried but I can trust you, right? It’s gonna be really hard if you suddenly call me and I can’t come to you right at that moment.”“Don’t worry, your voice will be enough to keep me away from loneliness over there.”“Take care.” Cassie wiped the tears from her eyes as she bid her best friend goodbye. She was leaving so suddenly that she did

Collin stood outside Cassie’s house, the weight of her words heavy on his heart. He knew she was right. He should have done more to support Via and to understand what she was going through. But now, all he could think about was finding his sister and making things right.Taking a deep breath, he knocked on Cassie’s door once again, hoping she would forgive him for his past mistakes. After a moment, Cassie opened the door, her expression softened but still guarded.“Cassie, please,” Collin pleaded, his voice laced with urgency. “I need your help to find Via. I can’t let her go off on her own like this. She’s my sister, and I need to make sure she’s safe.”“I told you, I won’t tell you anything. Go and worry about Via for all I care.” Cassie’s tone was stern. “Now leave before I call for the guards.”Collin sighed in surrender. His steps were heavy as he walked towards his car. If Cassie would not cooperate, how would he know Via’s whereabouts?“I’ve been waiting for you.” Troye looked a

“Mommy!” A five-year-old little girl ran towards Via as soon as she stepped out of her car. She carried the child and kissed her cheeks before she turned to the five-year-old boy who was slowly walking towards her.“You don’t have to run to greet mommy, Jaydee.” The boy rolled her eyes before he held Via’s hand.“Did you both have fun today?” Via asked the twins as they walked towards the car.“Yes!” Jaydee answered.The boy, Kaydee, shook his head. “It’s not as fun as when we are with you, Mommy.”Via laughed at her son’s response. Even though she could only spend a limited time with her children, she was relieved that she was able to raise them well.Almost six years had passed since she went to the US and she had lived well since then. The beginning was a little hard since she had to adjust to everything but it got better as she got accustomed to the environment. Her neighbors were also nice towards her even though she was a single mom raising her energetic twins.“Coleen!” Amy, on

As Cassie's words sank in, Via found herself torn between the comfort and stability she had built in the US and the longing for connection with her family back in the Philippines. While she had found a sense of belonging in her new home, she couldn't deny the pull of her roots and the desire for her children to know their extended family.After a moment of contemplation, Via sighed and nodded slowly. "Okay, Cassie. Let's go home."With a mixture of excitement and apprehension, Via began to pack up their belongings, knowing that their lives were about to change once again. As she tucked away their memories from the US, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness at leaving behind the life they had built there.But as she looked at her children playing in the playroom, she knew that ultimately, their happiness and well-being mattered most. And if returning to the Philippines meant giving them a chance to grow up surrounded by family and love, then it was a sacrifice she was willing t

Several weeks had passed since Via and her children arrived back in the Philippines. The transition had been smoother than she expected, thanks to the support coming from Collin and Cassie.As they settled into their new home, Via couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over her. She was grateful for the support from Collin and Cassie who had been instrumental in helping them readjust to life in the Philippines.One sunny afternoon, as Via sat on the porch of their new home, watching her children play in the yard, she couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment settle over her. Despite the challenges they had faced, they were finally home.As she watched her children laugh and play, Via felt a sense of gratitude wash over her. She knew that their journey had been difficult, but as she looked at their smiling faces, she knew that every hardship had been worth it.“A penny for your thoughts?” Collin asked as he sat beside his sister and offered her a glass of juice.“I was just

Via stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her blouse and smoothing down her hair. Today was the day of her first job interview since returning to the Philippines, and she couldn't help but feel a mixture of nerves and excitement fluttering in her stomach.Taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, Via glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost time to leave, but before she could head out, there was one more thing she needed to do."Jaydee, Kaydee, come here please!" Via called out, her voice echoing through the house.Within moments, her twins came running into the room, their faces bright with excitement. "Yes, Mommy?"Via smiled at her children, feeling a swell of love in her chest. "Mommy has to go out for a little while, but Aunt Cassie and Uncle Collin will be here to take care of you, okay?"Jaydee and Kaydee exchanged a glance, their brows furrowed in confusion. "Where are you going, Mommy?" Jaydee asked, her voice filled with concern."I have a job interview," Via expla

After Via left the company building, she practically floated on air as she made her way back home. The excitement of her successful interview fueled her every step, and she couldn't wait to share the news with Collin and Cassie.On her way, she passed by a doughnut shop which reminded her about the kids. She bought the twin’s favorites along with coffees for her brother and Cassie. A good news would call for a celebration, so they should hear it along with good food!As she entered their home, she found Collin and Cassie chatting in the living room, their heads close together in conversation. They looked up as she walked in, and she couldn't help but grin at the anticipation in their eyes.“How was it, Vi?” Collin asked as he was no longer able to wait for Via to drop the news."I got the job!" Via exclaimed, unable to contain her excitement any longer. "SA Group offered me the position, and I start next week!"Collin's face broke into a wide smile, and he jumped to his feet, envelopi

As the morning sun painted the sky in hues of pink and gold, Via bustled around the kitchen, humming a tune as she packed a picnic basket with sandwiches, fruit, and homemade cookies. The smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, mingling with the sweet scent of the cookies baking in the oven."Mommy, are we going on an adventure today?" Jaydee asked, her eyes shining with excitement as she skipped into the kitchen, her favorite stuffed elephant tucked under her arm."Yes, sweetheart, we are," Via replied with a smile, her heart warming at the sight of her daughter's enthusiasm. "We're going to the zoo!""The zoo?" Kaydee echoed, bounding into the kitchen while still rubbing his eyes. His sister was too excited after she smellednthe delicious aroma of the cookies and she made sure that he would also be wide awake to be with her. "That's awesome," he yawned.Via nodded, her own excitement growing as she watched her children's faces light up with joy. "That's right! We're going to

“Dad…” Via’s lips trembled as she called for the familiar man before her. He was still the same. She would always find him seated in his working area whenever she went to his office. Her father's head snapped up at the sound of her voice, and there was a stunned silence for a moment. Then, in a move that took her completely by surprise, he stood up and hurried over to her, enveloping her in a tight hug. Via froze, her body stiff with shock. She couldn't remember the last time her father had hugged her like this, with such raw emotion. "I'm sorry, my child," her father whispered, his voice thick with regret. The tears threatening to spill finally broke free, streaming down her cheeks. She had never expected to hear those words from him, words she had longed for all these years. With just those words, all the fear and the pain that she thought she had forgotten was completely washed away. Something heavy was lifted from her chest, and she could not stop herself from bawling her

“Did you wait long?” Cassie asked when she saw Via waiting near the entrance of the subdivision.“No. I just arrived here.” Via entered her best friend’s car, and Cassie started maneuvering towards the main house.“I’m not really sure if this is a good thing, but I want you to know that I’ll always take your side,” Cassie assured her when she noticed her unusual silence.“How were the kids?” Via asked. Truth be told, she was not anxious about meeting her dad again. She was just worried about the kid; they were all she could think of now.“They were fine. Though they haven’t met Dad because Collin insisted that you needed to be there for him to meet them.”Via let out a sigh of relief. It was a good thing Collin was able to have their dad compromise, even just a little. She would have gone mad if the kids had ended up being hurt and she was not there.As the scenery became more familiar, nostalgia washed over her. It had been years since she last stepped foot in that subdivision, but i

As Via stepped into the office, she couldn't contain her excitement. Today would be a half-day at work, and she was eager to wrap up her tasks and head home to spend time with her children. But that didn't mean she would slack off—far from it. If anything, Via felt even more driven to make the most of her time at the office.Via dove into her work, tackling each task with precision and determination. She was focused, efficient, and a little competitive, pushing herself to exceed her expectations. She lost track of time as she immersed herself in her projects, the hours flying by in a blur of productivity.As the clock ticked closer to the end of her shift, Via's phone rang, jolting her out of her concentration. She glanced at the caller ID and saw her brother's name flashing on the screen. Curious, she answered the call."Hey, Collin. What's up?" Via greeted him, trying to mask the hint of anxiety in her voice."Hey, Via. I need you to come to the main house after work," Collin said,
