“What the f*ck...” I whispered.
I guess Karma’s really a bitch.
I looked at the guy beside me. He looked unbothered but he’s sweating. And he changed. When he felt me staring at him, he stared back. My eyes widened and looked away.
“No “Wow! It’s nice meeting you again,Caleb?” He teased. He didn’t f*cking change at all.
I was about to fired back when my phone rang. Alvin’s calling.
“Yep?”
“Nico’s been crying for hours now!” He said panicking.
My heart beats fast. “What the hell? Why? What did you do?”
“I didn’t do anything at all. He just finished his milk then he started crying. Oh, god! Tatiana, don’t be mad, but your son seems not breathing anymore!”
“WHAT THE F*CK, ALVIN! I’m telling you, if something bad happened to him, I’m gonna f*cking kill you!” I said.
“We’re gonna take Nico to the hospital, Tatiana. I’ll send you the name of the hospital, ’kay? So, just calm down wherever you are, especially i
“So, you’re a mother now?” He asked when my brothers and sisters left the room. “Yeah. What’s wrong with that?” “Nothing. So, who’s the father?” “I don’t know.” “What? What do you mean you don’t know?” “Just a one night stand.” He chuckled sarcastically. “Hm-mm.” “What you gonna say if he looked for a father?” I became silent. I actually don’t know. I didn’t think of that. How would my Nico feel if he finds out that he doesn’t have a dad? Just thinking of it kills me. “Hey...?” “I don’t know,” I said, “And it’s my problem, okay? Don’t meddle with me being a mother.” “I’m not meddling, I’m trying to help.” “Then, thanks but no thanks! I don’t need any help!” He sighed and the whole trip became silent. The hell? The atmosphere just became awkward. Thanks to my harsh mouth. ... After a hour of driving, we’re finally at my Condo unit. I’m back in Pampanga again.
“Do we really have to meet with Tiara?” I asked nervously. Tiara might say something about Dad’s death. They nodded. “Why? You still aren’t ready to face her?” Almira asked. I shake my head. “No, I’m just... nervous. I haven’t met her since she left.” She nodded, understandily. “Of course. But don’t worry, we have your back.” She said and smiled assuring me. I heaved a sigh and just nods. I just hope that things went well. ... Tiara asked us to meet her in her house. I’m not feeling good about this. Why would she want us to meet her there? Alexander doesn’t want to but looks like she got him under control. Alvin, Aliana and Almira just follows Alexander. They all went in, but I can’t move my feet. I can’t still process that I’m back here. “Welcome to my house, my step-children!” I heard her greet them. “Tss.” Almira hissed. “Where’s my beloved daughter? Oh, she didn’t come I see..
I looked at my siblings that is fuming mad right now.Alexander looked at me with cold eyes. I gulped.“So, you f*cking knew about this all along?” He asks, I remained silent and played my nails.“You know that Dad’s death is a planned death?” Almira ask too but I still remained silent.Alvin slammed the table. “Damn it! Answer it, Tatiana!” He commanded.I scoffed. “Huh! Why do you keep asking me this sh*ts? Didn’t I already told you? I’m their accomplice! What’s not clicking, people!”Aliana looked at me, unbelievably. I looked at her sharply.“Don’t f*cking give me that stare. You won’t guilt-trip me or what ever.” I said and walked out.After leaving the room, I inhaled sharply. I don’t want them to know about it. I lied to them. I’m not Tiara and Aurelia’s accomplice, I hate those old bitches.I just hea
I am breastfeeding Nico when I heard the beating sound that have stopped. Did he finish beating Jill? Oh, my gosh! I am such an useless friend, I can't help him! When I made sure that he's done beating him, I go out. I saw Jack leaving the house. He knows that I'm already out but he didn't glance at me. It's fine, though. I might shiver when I see his eyes that mad.I immediately go to Jill and help him sat down on the couch and then I go to the kitchen to get a water and give it to him. I also get a basin and fill it with lukewarm water."Uh, are you okay?" I asked Jillian who's crying right now. He looked up at me teary eyed."Why is did he act like that?" He asked, sobbing.I gulped. "You... you don't know?""Don't know what?""He's Bipolar..."He gasped. "What!? What the heck...""I... I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't tell that to you." I said. "I think he doesn't want anyone to know.""How did you know?""
I'm breastfeeding Nico when my phone beeped. It was a message from an unknown number....from: +639*********Hi! Are you free today? Can we talk? I just want to talk to you, if you're available. :)...from: +639*********It's Caleb, by the way. :)...Oh, so he changed his number? I see....from: +639*********I just borrowed a phone from a friend, in case you wonder. Haha....Why still tell me? Did he read my mind? Tsk....from: Tatianato: +639*********Okay, just send me the location....I looked at my Nico. "Should I back out? What do you think, Nico? Should Mommy meet your Daddy?""Yes."My eyes widened. "Wha--what the fuck... Did you just fucking... answered?!"I heard a laughter from behind. "Silly! It's me who answered." I heard Aliana's voice."What are you doing here?" I asked, "Anyways, it's good that you're
I am staring at the ceiling of the hospital. It’s Nico’s third day here in the hospital. He was admitted here for some observations. They say that he was allergic but since he’s just a month old, and we don’t what is he allergic to, since he still not eating anything except my milk.“You okay, Tatiana?” I heard Caleb asked, worriedly. I just nodded.“I don’t know...”“Hm?”“I’m his mother yet I don’t know what’s going with him?”I felt his hand caressing my back. “No, don’t that you’re a worthless mother, ’cause I know that you’re not---”“What? I didn’t said that, Silva. I’m a fucking great mother, you understand.” I told him.“Oh---I... I thought---”“Uh, excuse me, Miss Writz?” The doctor called. I stood up and walked towards him.“Yes
"So, since when are you two living together?" Alexander asked."Yeah. Anita and I are like out for a moment and then now you two are... living together like a family." Almira commented."We are family." Caleb said firmly. I nudged him and he gulped."Uh, I... I just told him that, you know, that he's Nico's father when Nico badly needed a blood." I mentioned."Uh, what? Bl--blood?" Dulce asked.I nods. "Yes, blood. He lost a lot of blood, the doctor said. And you two," I pointed her and Alvin. "Didn't told me that.""Because the doctor said he's fine!" Alvin defended."Uh-huh. Yeah, and as far as I know, I have the rights to know what's happening to my son." I stated."We know that, Tatiana. It's just that..." Dulce stopped and looked at Alexander. "We're afraid that you'll be triggered. That's what Alexander said."I looked at Alexander waiting for him to explain his side. "What to tell me anything, brother?""No
"Are you sure about this, Tatiana?" Almira asked. I nodded and looked back at the casa. I told them that I'm moving in with Caleb to his house in Manila. They wanted to make sure that I was not forced to move in with Caleb."Are you sure? Are you sure it was your decision and not because of your son?" Alexander asked.I looked at them flatly. "Really? You are asking me if this is my genuine decision and not because of my son?" I said, "Why are y'all speaking like not parents? Of course, I'm doing this because of my son, and partly my own decision." I assured.They nodded. "Hm, okay. We just want what's best for you, Tatiana." Alvin said and hugged me. "Don't hesitate to call me if things go south, okay? I'm always ready to back-up." He joked and we both chuckled....After a so-dramatic-farewell with my siblings, we flew from Pampanga to Manila. Caleb said that he already planned this and his house is now ready to use."Did someone live in t
"J-jill..." Jack who's sitting in front of me nervously muttered."Oh, hello there, my dear brother! I've been calling you since like the last few months but you kept on ignoring me! Now fate really made a way to let me spank you!" Jill gayishly said."Babe, enough on it. He's on a date..." a familiar woman told the guy whom Jack's calling Jill."You two are in good terms now, huh?" Jack then fired back. My forehead knitted. What's with this three?"Yeah, and you seem finally moved on from my sister," the woman answered."Shut up, Moliana. I am moved on with Tatiana for years," Jack said and looked at me. I make a face and rolled my eyes on him."So, won't you introduce me, I mean, us, to your
"Why are we here?" I asked Jack. He just shrugged."You'll see," he just said and walked passed me.My forehead creased. Woah, what was that? Is he hiding a secret to me? The hell?I sighed as I followed him. I really don't want to go out for now because I'm not yet sure if someone might want me dead. Jack said that I will meet someone here today; I just don't know who. I just hope it's not one of my siblings or what. I honestly don't want to go back to my family yet. Jack said my siblings would be happy because they mourned me. The case is I don’t know why I don’t want to see them yet.When I got closer; I saw Jack talking to the person that he would introduce me to. He is unfamiliar so I guess I'm safe."Oh, she's here," Jack an

I woke up when I felt someone touch my cheek. When I opened my eyes I saw Jack smiling in front of me. I couldn’t help but smile and lean over him."Good morning, Tatiana," he said and caressed my burned face. I turned my face away from him and smiled a little."I'm sorry, Jack. I... I'm not comfortable when someone is touching my face..." I explained. He just smiled at me."I know. Anyway, get ready, okay? It's your surgery today," he reminded. I nodded and get up from my bed. I sighed when I entered my bathroom. I'm not really comfortable around Jack, and I don't know why."Jill..." I suddenly muttered. My forehead creased when a figure flashed in my mind. Wait, who is Jill?I washed my facre to erase that image. Why would ahy I think of someone I don't even know.I saw Jack waiting for me. I sat beside him and looked at him intently. His
