Mom, it's me Noah, can I come in?" I flinched upon hearing my son's voice. Quickly, I wiped the tears from my cheeks. I didn't want him to suspect anything; knowing Noah, he was a curious child who always sought answers.

"Yes, is there something wrong?" He shrugged and climbed onto the bed. He approached me tentatively, and I was surprised when he reached for my face and wiped something away. He raised an eyebrow at me, and I looked away. He was too mature for his age, understanding things he shouldn't at such a young age.

"Stop lying, Mom. It's written all over your face. Don't cry, I'm hurting too." He looked directly into my eyes; he really knew my weaknesses. How could I lie in front of my son?

"Sorry, baby, it's just th--"

"You're jealous. You don't need to hide it, Mom, I already know. I understand you, but before you stormed out, Papa was here first." I felt guilty; I had played a part in this by letting myself be influenced by what I heard. But you can't blame me; the man cour

The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow upon the room as we embarked on what seemed to be a delicate balancing act of familial harmony.

    As I gazed at him, he seemed ready to explode at any moment, his eyes brimming with anger and hatred. It was frustrating that I couldn't do anything to help him calm down. I just let him vent.He punched the steering wheel repeatedly, seemingly oblivious to my presence beside him. I tried to reach out and calm him, but he brushed my hands away. How could he remain so agitated? How could he push away my attempts to comfort him? I wanted to unleash my own anger, but it seemed he wouldn't even notice if I left now. So, I did. I got out of the car, leaving him to continue pounding on the steering wheel.I wanted to explode with rage, but I couldn't. It felt so unfair!

    "Tell me who? Who is the father of our nephew?" I heard Kuya Keifer sigh, my hands trembling. I tightened my grip on the paper bag."It's Kane, Kane Colten Eleazar," I finally let go of the paper bag that held Noah's treats, tears continuing to flow. This is too much to take! How? I can't understand! I know it's not impossible anymore but why does it need to be complicated like this?"That's why you keep insisting Colten to marry Keisha cause he is the father?

    "I won't beat around the bush anymore, Ms. Santillan. I'll get straight to the point. It's about Kane Colten." My attention snapped to the person speaking as they grabbed a glass of cold water with ice cubes in it. "By looking at you, you look so clueless. It was really true huh, that look can be deceiving. I can't believe that you can do such terrible things. How cruel to your son." "What do you mean—" I didn't get to finish my sentence as the person poured cold water over me. And how did they know I had a son? I really didn't know. "How can you flirt with a married man! You mistress, that's what you are! I'm done and so tired of holding back my anger! You're disgusting! You and my husband were cheating behind my back! You're such a disgrace, mother, and you even have a bastard son! I'll see you in court, bitch!"

I instinctively touch my cheeks as tears stream down, then I remember my mother, the image of her in jail. "Hey, are you okay, Nurse!" I couldn't help but sob as I recall the events, feeling a pang in my thigh, then I remember what happened yesterday! My sobs intensify as I remember my thigh covered in blood. I was so careless! Why didn't I notice that there was life inside my womb! I try to sit up and gently massage my abdomen, hoping my child is still here! Please forgive me, my child! I wasn't careful, and I put both my life and my child's life at risk. I'm a worthless mother! "How's my child, is he okay?" I see the sadness in the nurse's eyes as I hold her hand, especially when she answers my question. No, it can't be!

    KeishaPast two in the morning, I woke with a start. Feeling around the bed, I noticed my husband wasn't beside me. Where could he have gone? I also felt thirsty and hungry, sensing my husband was keeping something from me. I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease; he hadn't told me anything, but I had a hunch. I let out a deep sigh, hearing my husband's voice at the bar counter. He was probably drinking again, and there must be something bothering him that he wasn't telling me."Julius, update me from time to time. You can't just let everything we've worked for go to waste. If you need to play dirty, do it. That mayor is good at that anyway!" I couldn't help but feel sad at what I heard. I've already told him to avoid meddling in government affairs because they play dirty, and I don't want him or our children to get into trouble. He took a sip from the bottle of alcohol."You're drinking more frequently," I hugged him from the side. I could feel the warmth radiating from his body b

Frowning, I decided to leave and spend some time in the garden instead. As I descended the stairs, I caught sight of my husband engrossed in his laptop. He was wearing a formal top but only boxer shorts below, indicating he might be in a serious virtual meeting or working, which slightly annoyed me as he hadn't followed me. However, before I could dwell on it, my concern took over. What could have happened, and why didn't he come after me?I intentionally passed by him, but it seemed to have no effect. I was starting to get annoyed. Wasn't he going to comfort me?
