I am looking at my phone while pacing back and forth. My hands are trembling and I'm having cold-sweat.
Should I call Almira? Should I tell them that I'm pregnant? Should I---ugh! What the hell!
I inhaled deeply and clicked the call button. It started ringing, then after three ri
“Okay, so why did you gather us here?” Almira asked when I asked her, Alexander and Alvin to go to my unit. Good thing they are all here in States for a vacation.
“Um, I reall don’t know how to say this...” I said nervously.
“Come on, sis, tell us!” Alvin said while grinning. I rolled my eyes on him while chuckling.
“I mean, I’m kinda nervous. What if you guys judge me? Like–oh, my God! This is crazy...” I whispered.
Almira smiled. “Come on. I thought you’re reuniting with us?” She asked while pouting.
“Tatiana, we’re not gonna judge you, ’kay? We’re siblings.” Alexander said and tapped my head.
I looked down while playin
“So, do you wanna go shopping today?” Almira asked while smiling.We’re currently at the couch while the boys are renovating the other room that will become my baby’s room. Almira and I are fixing the toys that will be put there.“Almira, don’t you think it’s too early?”She stopped doing the toys and looked up on me. “Duh? It’s not. We’re just doing it early because you don’t want to rush, do you?”We both chuckled and I shake my head. “’Course not.”“Yeah, us, too.” We laughed.“Hayyy...” Alvin sighed as he sat on the couch.“Almira, your husband’s calling.” Alexander said. I saw Almira’s smile vanished.Alexander hand her the phone and she stood up.“What do you need?”I just ate silently while the boy’s talking seriously.It’s getting awk
"Hey, Agatha, you sure wanna face her?" Almira asked worriedly. She is pertaining to Molly. It's our trial against her today.Yes, I flew back in the Philippines so that I can ask that bitch on why did she became a secret mistress of Daddy."I'm always ready, Almira. Don't worry," I smiled, assuring her that I'm gonna be fine. But to be honest, I'm not fine. I don't know what to feel. I feel betrayed, fooled and mocked of. I feel like Molly's laughing at me now for not noticing that she's just using me to get close of my dad.Maybe she did stick to me because I'm an easy prey while Almira's not. She even made me feel special when she said that she chose me over my sister. She chose my dad and be a mistress over our friendship."Agatha, hey. Are you really okay?" I heard Alvin asked.I nodded. "Yep, why do you guys kept on asking?" I asked."Bedause we're not sure if you're really okay right now.""Why?""Looked how tight your g
“Madame, she’s here again,” our maid inform me. I put the magazine I’m reading and looked at her. She immediately looked down.“Didn’t I told you and the guards not to let her in?”She nodded. “Madame, she’s so stubborn. The guards are thinking of dragging her out but Ma’am Almira stopped them.” She informed me.I nodded and heaved a heavy sigh. “Hey, Alvin, can you talk to Molly? Say that I’m still asleep.”Alvin hesitated at first but I looked at him sharply. He scracth the back of his head then walked away. I sip on my wine then I heard Dulce’s laughter.“What’s funny?” I asked.She stopped laughing and then looked at me. “Nothin’. It’s just that Alvin is so under to us, you and me.”I chuckled. “Perks of being an older sister.”I heard Almira cleared her throat. “Ehem, you&rsq
"Tatiana, hey, please, let's talk!" Molly said while following me.I walk faster then looked back at her. "No, no. Not because you've saw me before I gave birth does mean you're now being a good sister!" I said.She stopped following me and I sigh in relief. I continue walking when she suddenly said."Don't you really wanna consider me as your sister, Tatiana?" She asked. She sounded so hurt. Like anytime by now, she's gonna cry.I sigh. "No. I mean, I can consider you as my 'sister' you said—wait, let's talk about this in private." I said and walked again, she then followed me while sniffing.When we reached Almira's condo unit she started sobbing so loudly.I looked worriedly at my baby in my arms. He might woke up!I looked at Molly sharply. "Hey, don't sob so loud! Nico might woke up!" I shouted but in whisper tone.She stopped sobbing and looked up at me. "'Kay, can I carry him?" She ask like a kid."No."
I’m staring at the moon when I felt someone’s presence. “Hey...” That familiar baritone voice made me stunned. What the f*ck? How did he able to follow me here? “What do you need?” I asked fiercely. He chuckled, obviously sarcastically. “Why so rude? Just like the first time, eh?” I rolled my eyes. “Why? Do you expect me to say ‘I miss you’s to you?” I asked sarcastically. “No. But at least be nice.” I scoffed. “Nice? Tss.” He was about to say something when Alli called me. She stopped midway when she saw me with Jack. From smiling, she turned dead serious. “Get away from her.” I smirked secretly. “Hm. You’re sister’s right? Sorry, I forgot ’bout that.” Alli smiled sarcastically. “I don’t even know you. I just have this gut feeling that you’re trouble.” Jack looked offended. “He--hey! You’re foul! How could you not know me?” “You looked familiar, tho.” “Jill’s twin
“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..
