I woke up around three in the morning, I spent a few more hours staring at the ceiling of the room as if that was the most interesting place in my mind. After a few more deep breaths, I decided to just get up to wash my face because I was sure I would never be able to go back to sleep. I am being hunted by my nightmares. I walked in the cold floor heading to the bathroom, I open the door before turning on the light. I put my hands in the faucet and the cold water flows, making me fully awake. I bring the water washing my face, I get the soap on the top small cabinet applying it on my skin. I heard the faint opening of the door to my bedroom, so I opened my eyes while closing them because of the soap. I turned my back and listened to my surroundings. I heard faint footsteps, so I quickly washed my face then wiped it with a soft towel. I walked out of the bathroom, tying my hair in a high ponytail. I wasn't surprised, seeing Greyson sitting comfortably

A few days later, Grayson still did not speak to me, as if I were wind in his eyes. Gradually it began to form in my mind that he really didn't feel anything for me and he just didn't care what happened the night I gave myself to him. I sighed deeply.Here I am now in the garden with Grant, I am already planting this space to give life to this part of the house. Also, it was Grant's favorite place to hang out and sleep so I decided to fix it."Grant! Chuchu", I call to him. He quickly ran towards me and tried to put his head in my hand."Why? What happened huh? Do you want to touch you? Oh! I still have work to do." I said before hugging his head close to my chest.I pat his head turning back to what I was doing before. I also bought plants and flowers that can be plante
Days had passed and now Greyson’s birthday party was being held. Earlier the whole house was filled with cars and staff busy fixing everything. The celebration will be held here in the mansion, unlike the first plan in a luxury hotel in the city. A huge platform was built beside the pool, that will serve as the stage. The swimming pool water is also decorated with floating LED lights. Chairs and tables also surround the edge of the pool. I'm sure it was pompous, it was only a few hours before it started, but here I was still wearing pajamas and a loose shirt as I watched them do what they did.“Oh, Ma'am, you need to rest, so you'll be fresh later.” Maria said, interrupting my thoughts.“I wasn't invited to the party, so I'm okay here. Maybe I'll just stay in my room later.” I replied.
We were about to walk away from the inquisitive reporters when our unexpected visitor arrived. The tension between the whole place started to rise.“Everything I say is true! Don't turn us around!” Arc shouted, trying to get the space passed from us.He was grabbed and restrained by Grayson's staff, who guarded all around. It looked like a show was happening because all the guests as well as the reporters were focused.“You're another one, Callixta! We raised you and fed you in our very palms, but what did you do ?! You still made a deal here with this man! You ruined our family! Not only that, but you even killed my only child! Useless child! You are indebted! “ He shouted at me.I gulped, trying to stop my tears. I looked at him blankly, raising
I woke up the next day with the same feeling, my head spinning and my stomach churning up, resulting me to stay in the bathroom for half an hour. Grant stayed by my side staring at me, sometimes he'll nudge my feet when I puke all inside my stomach.I'm still thinking of what I've eaten for the last days that made me feel this.“Ma'am, are you okay?” Maria popped inside wearing her famous concern look.“Yes Maria. Thank you for checking me out.” I said, smiling weakly.“The Don requests you to come down and join them in breakfast.” She bowed her head for formality.“Tell them, I’ll be there after five minutes.” I stand wiggling trying to steady myself by hold
Days passed and my morning sickness as well as dizziness almost got worse. I’m also starting to crave foods I previously didn’t like. I find it hard to hide it because every morning or afternoon Grayson calls me to join their Angel dinner. I still can't talk to Nica because she's busy, but she promised to visit me again here today.Stewart also always visits to bring Fruits and whatnot, we agreed to hide my pregnancy first, but in doing so, we might get caught. My body is also changing along with my habit. Every so often I don't even understand why I cry or get angry for no reason.“Pregnancy hormones!” My mind shouted. This is the reason of my mood swings.I get up from my bed and look at the clock on the bedside table, it says two in the morning. It's too early,, but I'm craving for somethi
I buy all the foods that looks attractive and passes with my taste as well as the ones that I find look good I have bought that as well. I was unaware that at this time the stalls here in the area were still open. There are also many buyers, especially couples dating near the park. I didn't see Greyson since he left in the car, but he's too old to be lost, so I let him go first because it's more important to me now to eat. I cooked the barbecue cue that was skewered with a stick in my mouth.“Hmmm delicious Sir.” I praise the owners who are selling barbecues and other grilled skewers.“Thank you, Ma'am”, he smiled at me.And because Greyson is nowhere to be found, I decided to have small talk first in the stall sellers and small business owners.&
I ate the isaw, the foods and everything I bought in the stalls. I burp loudly, caressing my stomach from the fullness I felt.“Are those foods that good?” I heard someone at my back. I looked at her, seeing Nica wearing her famous smile with never falling energy.“Yes, Nics, they are too good to be true.” I said dreamily.“Do you want to go outside again?” She asked.“Really? But I think Greyson won't allow me because we already went out this morning.”“You did? Aww, but this is different Calli. I asked Greyson for the permission, and he agreed I can take you out. So, what now?”“Who says I won't go? Oh, come on, N
I opened my eyes in my room, staring at the ceiling, trying to remember what happened. I get up from the bed, Grant welcomed me, jumping in my arms. I hugged him carrying outside, walking downstairs.Here we go again here in the mansion, after my missions, Greyson didn't give me another one.Unlike the other days, I'm feeling well now. I'm feeling fresh and somewhat happy despite the ambush happened.You lowered Grant to the floor, and he happily came out of the house again.I went straight to the kitchen to find something to eat, but before I could go inside, someone grabbed my hand.“Ouch, what the hell do you want?” I asked before facing him, discovering it was Greyson.
"Jeiah! Come out of the room quickly, you might be late for your own wedding!" Nica shouted loudly without mercy to anyone's ears.I smiled looking at the mirror for the nth time, without leaving the small curve line forming in my lips."Coming!" I shouted and smiled in my reflection, carrying the white long silk of my gown. I put it down and let it flow freely in the ground as I walk downstairs of the house. Nica was there, smiling at me with her gloomy eyes."You are the most gorgeous bride I've ever seen." She said excitedly and jumped from happiness. I chuckled and hug her when I finally reached the last step."Or maybe I am the only bride you've seen so far." I joked as she hit me lightly."I've seen a lot!" She defended."Or, you haven't seen yourself wearing bride's gown." I pushed the topic and I've seen how she blu
"Mom, thank you for everything. Thank you for giving me hope when I am about to accept death and hopeless to every situation of my life." I laughed sadly, wiping my tears welling up in my eyes."Mom, thank you for saving me. Thank you for the life you kept giving in me." I sit up on her grave and touched the marble, where her name was written."Mom, you are the best and I hope I will become like you now. I hope I can raise my two son with same love and life you spent to make me live. I love you mom, and I promise, I will love you and will never be forgotten in my heart." I out the flowers beside her grave and sit there for a while.I watched the candle light swayed in accordance to the air's direction, giving me warmth in my heart."
Jeiah POVAfter putting my twins on their cribs, I sit on the chair located in front of the window of the room.It is still daylight, and sun is smiling brightly outside, enchanting me to stare in the vast sky.How do clouds freely move at the sky freely?"Jeiah!" A female voice shouted carelessly, interrupting my thoughts as I immidiately glare at her and put my finger in my mouth to send her the signal to stay quite for my kids are sleeping soundly."Look! I can visit you now because your father and brother agreed! I am so excited to see my godsons!" She happily stated while running on my direction and squeeze me to
"Uhm Jeiah, please calm down first", Rey suggested but I am not in my mood to listen to anyone."Who gave him this?!" I asked half shouted half whispered so that my son's won't be disturbed. I gave them a chance to tell me the person who gave it, waiting for them to speak.I checked Grey Ace's wrist and my blood boils at it's extent."Who gave them these?!" I asked for the nth time, but they keep lowering their heads, adding an irritation from what I feel."Its from me." I voice from the entrance of the house spoke."And who gave you the permission to..." I was cutted from my burst out, seeing who it is. I gulped, at the same time my brows form a thin line from shock but I com
The next day, the doctor allowed me to go home already but with prescribed medicines needed to intake for following days. I packed my stuffs early in the morning, fearing that the doctor will come back and will stop me from going."Are you ready?" Dad asked me while scanning my whole bags."Yes Dad, I packed first in the morning." I answered eagerly."Yeah I can see that." He whispered in the air making me smile to myself.Finally, I will be able to see my twins together for the first time here outside the hospital. I will be able to take care of them today and for the rest of my life to them."Wait for Ace here in the room, I'll go in the front desk for the papers." Dad said and walked away from me.&n
Jeiah POVI opened my eyes and all I can see around are painted with white. I tried blinking a few more before settling my eyes into someone in the room."D-dad", I called out even though he's in his deep sleep, I wanted to ask a few questions to the point that I wanted to interrupt his sleep."Hmmmm?" He grunted and moved a bit."Dad? You can sleep here in the bed." I offered."It's fine. No, no, no, I'm sorry I fell asleep." He said and get up to attend to my side."What happened dad?" I asked him the question that my mind keeps on digging in my mind on how I ended in this place after what happened.
Blast POVI drove my car into the road and wherever the possible route they might be.My phone buzzed again and I answered it, putting into speaker."I tracked her and she's in the Norhan Street. They seemed to stopped. Their location didn't changed nor moved." Rey said as I tried the fastest speed my car can offer me right now."Okay, I get it. " I replied still focusing on the road so I could not be involved in any accident again. This is time is crucial and I needed to be there for her."Please do report on us if you found her." He said."Yes, I will. I'll hang up now." I replied and ended the call.
Blast POV"Greyson", I heard a female voice called my name so I put the book I am reading and face her."What do you want Angel?" I asked irritably. Though I accepted this, it doesn't mean that we can get along."I'm sorry." She said, sniffing in the air. I rolled my eyes into her and picked the book again."You've been telling that for how many times. My ears are already bleeding, don't say it again and again." I replied back while flipping the pages. I think I can't read and comprehend this anymore.I felt Angel sitting in the bed, a few meters away from me. We agreed that she should put a distance whenever we are alone. We can pretend when there's a people but if none, s
“Grandma, this is Jeiah. Jeiah, this is my grandma Eleonora in my maternal side.” Ace introduced to me when we escaped from Scorpions."W-why are you doing this?" I asked with hesitation. How come it's her. I didn't do anything to her and she's one of Ace's relatives, why she wants to kill us."Maybe because I am bored? HAHAHAHA who do you think you are?" She replied, staring at me directly.Yes she's old but I felt intimidated. The grandma who's soft, vulnerable and heart welcoming woman was gone. She turned into a complete devil just now."I can't imagine that you are behind all of this! Ace loves you so much and looks from you! He thought you are the only relative left in her
