BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 27: WAIT A LITTLE LONGER
Chelsea’s POV“What’s with the frowning early in the morning?” Dad asked.“Since when did you come here?” I asked in surprise.“Just now and that face welcomed me. Anything bothering you?”He sits next to me. I took a sigh before saying anything.“Not a big deal Dad. It’s my problem” I simply replied.When they decided to live somewhere closer to their work, I was left there and I felt disconnected from them that I couldn’t cry or nag at them when things messed up. It was Dale who fulfilled that role for me.“Is it about the marriage?”“Huh?”I was surprised that Dad seemed to read what was going on inside my mind. I don’t have reason to deny that to him though.“I’m just overwhelmed with everything”“I’m sorry, my princess”I look at Dad and he’s giving an apologetic reaction.“I want to help you. This is the least I can do”“Come here”She wraps her arm around me so I dig myself close to him leaning on his chest while his chin rests on my head. I miss the feeling of being babied by

Chelsea’s POV“Dad?” I was stunned to see Dad standing close to us. He’s looking straight at me and I couldn’t explain the reaction on his face.I turned back to Dale and asked him to leave us and come back the other time. I can see that he was hesitant but he just left. I walk close to Dad while he’s not moving at all.“Let’s talk inside” he coldly stated.I followed him to the living room and sat and asked me to do the same.“Why didn’t you tell me?” he seriously asked.I bit my lower lip because I couldn’t give him an answer. I feel guilty and disappointed that he has to know about it that way.“Do you ever plan to tell us?”At this point, Dad’s voice intensifies. I know that he wants to hear an answer from me. I turned fragile and at any moment I knew that my tears would gradually fall.“Chelsea! Are you even listening?!” Dad suddenly yelled at me.I was surprised and that triggered my tears to finally fall instantly. I could only cry in front of him but I couldn’

Dale’s POV[KNOCKING] I ran to the door and hurriedly opened it thinking that Chelsea had come back but I was wrong.“Stacey, what are you doing here?” I directly asked.I thought it was Chelsea.“Are you drinking?” she asked after her sight went through the dining where cans of beer were scattered.“Uhm… yes I was”“With whom?”“I’m with myse---”“I saw Chelsea leaving. Is she from here?”“Y-yes…”“Are you not going to let me in?”“Yeah, sure come in”I don’t have a choice but to let her in and tell her an alibi why Chelsea was here.“She needed a friend to talk to because she’s… heartbroken”That was such a lame reason! I couldn’t think of any reason to say. I haven’t even anticipated this situation.“Heartbroken? Does she have a new boyfriend? His fiancée just died…”I suddenly realized that it was the reason to tell.“I guess she’s dating… new people to forget about his fiancée”“It must be hard for her. Is she okay?” she casually asked.“Yeah. I guess”“You’re good wit

Chelsea’s POV“Dad? Mom?”I saw them on the couch as I opened my eyes. I looked around and looked for Ken but he wasn’t there. Was I hallucinating last night? I heard his voice before I passed out but I didn’t see his face. Was that someone else that I mistakenly thought to be Ken? It feels so real.“Chels”They, especially Mom, worriedly came close to me and held both of my hands. “Did you happen to see… ken?”“Who… no one was here when we arrived. We just received a text message last night that you are here so we rushed to come”“Hm”I wasn’t thinking of him but why would I hallucinate of him? Somehow, I was hoping that it was actually him.“Are you feeling something? Are you okay?” she asked.I faintly smile at her and shake my head to say that I’m okay. I was surprised when Mom suddenly burst out in front of me.“Why didn’t you *sobs* tell us?”I looked at Dad and I got the signal that he already told Mom about it. Mom is whining on my side while I watch her and wait until she ca

Chelsea’s POV“Marry me, Ken”He must have been startled when I kissed him. Even though I couldn’t completely comprehend what pushed me to kiss him all I knew at that moment, I found someone who would risk it all for me and that assures me.“A-are you s-serious?”I slightly giggled after seeing him caught off guard.“I don’t know what the future holds but you are right, now that I have a chance to choose, I’ll use that chance”“Is that your answer?”“I want to know one more thing…”“What is it?”“This decision might ruin you, are you sure you wouldn’t regret this?”“If being ruined means saving you… then I wouldn’t regret it”“Later on, I might end up feeling guilty and responsible for whatever unpleasant that might happen to you, what should I do then?”“When that time comes, I want you to be honest with me regarding your feelings and openly tell me about it”“What if I ended up dying?”“At that point… I’ll continue loving you… then and eternally”He never failed to amuse me with his

Ken’s POVI’m on my way home and surely none of them knew that I was here. I rushed to come back since no one of them planned to tell me what was happening. The truth is, they never told me that the partnership was canceled. I just accidentally found out through our family lawyers and I don’t want to tell Chelsea about that to keep her from overthinking and blaming herself after I went this far just for her sake.In the end, I’m glad that she made up her mind and decided to accept my proposal. I wanted to burst out in happiness that finally she didn’t reject me and the fact that were getting married, how nice would that be? to be marrying the girl that you’re in love with but in the end, I realized that this would be all business and I will be contended to be doing this to help her and her family.I arrived home and the first one I see is Adrian. He’s outside and obviously, he’s waiting for me.“What are you doing here?”He’s at my house, not at our house.“Someone’s waiting for you i

Chelsea’s POV“I heard about what happened between you and your father. Are you okay?”Ken looked at me and smiled after a few seconds.“I expected that reaction from him”“It must be hard for you”I wanted to stop feeling guilty but I couldn’t disregard that feeling.“I believe that he’ll soon accept my decision. He just needs time”“Okay”I had never been awkward around him until the night that I agreed to accept his help just because I kept recalling the moment when I impulsively kissed him.“By the way I working on everything now and about the wedding I got everything---”“About that… I have something to say”“What is it?”I know him well. I am sure he’ll make this big and I don’t want him to do that. He already done enough for me.“Can we make it simple and intimate? A civil wedding will do for me”“But---”“And I want to take charge of it since you’ve done enough already”“Are you sure? I already had a venue and hired an event organizer”“Actually… I wanted to hold the venue at

Chelsea’s POV“Dad, can you drive a little faster? I’m late with my appointment”I have been complaining about how slow Dad is driving but he wouldn’t listen and keeps on saying…“Safety is very important”I wonder if he also drives like this when he’s alone. I decided not to talk and let him drive.“That kid amazes me…”“Who?”“Ken… the way he makes his decisions reminds me so much of Dale”“You think I made the right decision?”“Only you can answer that”“What do you think Dale would feel that I am getting married?”“Dale, he’s kind and very understanding. He’ll get hurt but he’s not the type who’ll hold grudges against someone”“You think so?”“More than anyone else, you know him very well”Somehow, I was relieved to get those assurances from Dad.[SIGH]“We're here”I drown in my thoughts that I didn’t notice we’d arrived at the meeting place. I rushed to get out of the car.“Bye, Dad! See you at home later. Drive safely”I hurriedly went in and found the person I was about to mee

BLISSFUL REBIRTH EPILOGUE
“Are you sure you don’t want me to come?” mom asked.“Yeah. I’m good. I want to visit him before I leave the country” I answered.“I am sure that he’ll be very happy to see you”“So am I. I’ll go ahead, Mom. I need to buy flowers before going there”“Sure. Take care”I took my car key and left the house. It’s been a month has passed when we finally sent Stacey to jail. We have enough evidence that could prove all her wrong doings and Ryan also helped up with his testament but he didn’t escape the punishment. He was also sentenced to a short-term imprisonment but he accepted it since he acknowledged that it was a pure mistake that he willingly did because of Stacey.I stopped at a flower shop and bought flowers.“For your lover?”“Eh?”“I’m sorry. I am just curious. White flowers look pretty and neutral.

Dale’s POV“Why are you making stories? Stacey is my girlfriend---”“I am not making stories, Chelsea!”“Then what is this?!”“This is the truth! I know that I wasn’t good to you but I can never attempt to kill you---”“Tell me… I am curious about this… you denied that you met the guy who fabricated the pill… where were you then? Why can’t you tell the truth?”“First, I don’t know who that man is! I never seen him and I never brought a pill to him! I can’t to the court where I am because…”“What?”“Because I am having an affair with a politician!”An affair?“You mean a relationship with a married man?”“Let me make that clear, they’re divorced”“That’s pretty valid but that’s not enough to prove me your innocence”“I understand. You have every right to be mad at me. But you know what you made me realize? That was drifting apart. Every day, it gets harder to reach each other and that is because I pushed you away. Because I am obsessed with my career and want only the best for you, I d
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 44: SURVIVE
Chelsea’s POV“Come in”Stacey invited me in. We’re meeting at her house since she told me that she has something to tell me. Whatever it is… I have no idea.“Please take a sit”I sat in the couch in front of her and acted as naturally as I could.“You should drink first”She offered me food and drinks too.“Thank you for the offer but I can’t drink juice anymore”“Is that so…”“By the way…what is it that you want to tell me?” I asked.“Did Zae’s mother come to you?”“No”She’ll surely suspect me if I say yes.“Okay… the thing is… she has a voice recording and she’s been using that to blackmail me”“What voice recording?”How did she know about it?“It was supposed to be an audition piece. I wanted to enter showbiz so I could be around Zae and it happened that she’s the veteran actress who partnered with me to do the audition and last minute she decided to change the script and when I delivered that, she secretly recorded it and she’s been using that to blackmail me”“Why didn’t you r

I’m Chelsea, Zae's friend and we want to talk to her for a while”“Wait here”After a while of waiting, the helper came back and let us in.As we entered, we saw Zae’s mother in the living room, smoking with her sleeping robe on. She told us to sit in front of her before she squeezed out the cigarette.“You’re Zae’s friend?” she asked.“Yes”“What do you want?” she uninterestingly asked.“We want to ask if you visited Zae on that night that she died”“I did” she answered with no hesitance.“Why?”“Don’t tell me you’re suspecting me as the one who kil

You know I’m so weak with that”“Pretty please?”“Grr, you’re stubborn. Fine.”I did a victorious smile after winning a request. Although traveling is not too risky for me he was worried that I might feel something on the plane however the doctor says that it’s possible as long as I take enough precautions on it. As much as he wanted to stay a little longer until I recovered, I kept on insisting every day to go home. We’ve been staying here for months and I felt like a total burden to him.I was sitting on the bed while he was cleaning the room and it took me back to all the realizations that I had these past few weeks while I was in the hospital. He’s been doing all the stuff and work that he has never done before. He would run to the laundry ho

I am starting to panic especially since we are not in our country.“What happened to her?” a stranger approached us.“She passed out. Can you help me get a cab?”The stranger was kind enough to do what I asked him. When the cab arrived, I carried her in and told the driver to bring us to the hospital. As we arrived, some staff assisted me and asked what happened. I told them about her heath condition and her illness.“We’ll examine her and run some tests. You can wait for her outside”“Okay”I patiently waited for the doctor to come out but it’s taking longer than I expected. Weirdly, I feel very nervous like something not good is about to happen.

Chelsea’s POV“I’ll wait for you downstairs at the cafeteria,” Ken told me.“Sure”He’s all dressed up and ready while I’m just about to do my makeup. This won’t take long anyway. I’m also excited for today because we will be hopping onto museums. Yes! He let me decide where we would be going and he just agreed on it.After I was done, I headed downstairs and I found him waiting at the table with the food already served. We began to eat so we could leave as early as possible and utilize our entire day visiting good places here in Paris.I did the routing going to the first location that I extracted. The most visited museum in Paris, the Louvre Palace. As we reached the place, the first thing we saw is the glass pyramid situated in the center of the palace. It serves as the entrance for visitors.I was taking a picture of its exterior when I heard Ken speak.“You want me to take the pictures for you so you can enjoy looking around?”“Are you sure?”“Of course,”I think that was a good
