BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 29: WORST DAY
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
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 30: END OF PROPOSAL
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
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 31: BETRAYAL?
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
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 32: FACE THE PAIN
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
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 33: DEAL
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
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 34: PREPARATIONS
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 CHAPTER 35: THE WEDDING
Dale’s POV The police issued a warrant of arrest to Zae’s mother yesterday and by now she already knew everything. She was held in the station but I think she’s already out after calling her attorney. The hearing is already scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Right now we have secured the evidence that we can use against Zae’s mother and also the witnesses to testify. “Do you think this will turn out well?” “I believe so” “I’m nervous babe” I look at her and she looks very worried. “This is your first time to stand as a witness and it’s normal to feel anxious” “I hope I’ll make it” [KNOCKING ON DOOR] “Wait” I stood to open the door but that was a wrong move. There’s Zae’s mother standing furiously in front of me and suddenly her palm landed on my face. Her hand was heavy which made it hard to resist his slap. This is the second time I had been slapped by her. “YOU, SHAMELESS BITCH!!!” She was gritting her teeth. Her eyes and her lips were shaking in anger. “YOU’RE MAKING
BLISSFUL REBIRTH CHAPTER 36: TRIAL OR ERROR
Dale’s POV“Are you nervous?”Stacey looked anxious. We’re inside the courtroom and it hasn’t started yet.“Yeah,” she’s breathing hastily.I reached for her hand and tried to calm her.“Everything is fine. You just have to tell what you knew”“Okay”Slowly, she’s calming down. I look on the other side and Zae’s mother doesn’t look fine. She must be anxious, especially for the fact that this will be controversial once people learn the truth about her.“Please rise. The Regional Trial Court, Branch 04 is now in session, the Honorable Judge Samuel Marquez presiding.” It has started. This is it. I am one step closer to getting justice for Zae.“Thank you, you may all be seated. Call the case.”“Your Honor, today's case is Criminal Case No. L-10873 People of the Philippines vs. Marissa C. Garza.” “Is the prosecution ready?” Our attorney stood and answered that he was ready.“Is the defense ready?” The defense attorney answered the same.“We will now hear the opening statement from the

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.

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

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

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.

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
