CHAPTER 78M I R A N D A"Love!" Landon calls out from the living room.I rushed out of our bedroom and stared at him, he was holding his phone next to his ear."Great news!" He exclaims."What's happened?" I asked.Landon smiles. "Hugo's up!"I exhaled heavily and clasped my hands together in between my breasts as my tears filled both of my eyes very quickly. I ran to Landon and hugged him tight while he hugs me back with one arm while the other was still holding onto his phone."That's a really great news. We will be there right away." Landon says over the phone.When all of us heard that Hugo had gained his conscious back, all of us went there quicker than a blink of an eye. We were all worried for him since he was unconscious for three consecutive days. His parents have been worried sick, most especially Mrs. Anne. She would even call me at night and cry over the phone as I comforted her. Whenever we would visit Hugo, Gladys would hug me tightly and I know she's being strong for h
CHAPTER 79M I R A N D AWe were all back in London safely and as soon as I reached the lands of England and felt the brisk British air, I feel more relaxed. I don't feel frightened anymore since Ridge has been caught.But Hugo was still in France, he decided to stay behind for work and his recovery. He's trying to regain and recover from what happened to him and he's also trying to work at the same time even though his mum told him not to wore himself out.Meanwhile, Landon has been out to his studio, he's been busy with two new songs since one from it will be by performed his newest artist during the British Music Awards next year. Since it was nearly Christmas, I've been busy buying gifts for the kids, for Landon, for Landon's parents and siblings, for Vivian and Art, for the lads, for Hugo's parents, for Gladys, for Paris and for Scarlet and their kids, and of course for Hugo too.I already feel the cold wind of London changing as it gets colder than the last time I was here, the
CHAPTER 80M I R A N D AI smile nervously."Merry Christmas Eve." I answer.We stare at each other for a while and I snapped myself out of it since I've noticed that I've been looking at him longer than a minute now and it is damned cold outside."Come in." I hollered right away as I gestured with my hands as he comes inside the foyer as he was pulling a black trolley with him which looked even smaller because of his huge height and big hand."The others are all busy at the kitchen, preparing for the feast tonight." I tell him nervously.Now why am I so nervous?"Well I'm glad I'm going to spend the Christmas Eve with you." He tells me firm with a sweet smile and I smile too.He side-glance me, "And the kids."I bite my lower lip as everything between me and Hugo always gets awkward."Al of the people that are very important to me." He continued to say with his thick accent.I shake my head off from it and act natural."How'd you come here? I thought there was thick snow?" I ask him.
CHAPTER 81M I R A N D AAfter our week stay inside that marvelous and luxurious mansion, all of us went back home to spend our New Year's Day with our respective families even though we had an enjoyable amount of time together with a couple of friends around. I spent the eve of New Years with Landon’s family and we had so much fun together. We exchanged some gifts and ate together.We drove Ben and Bethany to Hugo's the next morning just so Hugo's side of the family could spend time with them and would get to know them even more. I gave Hugo a gift because I didn't get the chance to give to him when we were at the mansion, also I feared being alone with him since Landon was around. Another year had passed by and it's a new year for all of us, most especially for me. It's time to make fruitful and rightful decisions. Wiser decisions.That includes being professional around Hugo. He's the father to my kids so I think I need to get used to seeing him often without being affected by hi
CHAPTER 82L A N D O NFRANCEA few nights ago…When I was done making Miranda something to eat at two in the morning, I walked my way up to our bedroom to give it to her. Even though I know I'm not much of a great cook, I still want to make her something even the simplest things to show her that as her husband, I can serve her too and not just her to me and the kids. I've been practicing my best to make her the greatest meals I can ever cook for her and if not the best then maybe something edible at least.When I reached the bedroom, she wasn't there anymore. I placed the tray down on top of our bedroom table, turned on the lights of the entire place and walked to the bathroom. She's not there too.I began to panic. Where could she be?I walked to the kids but I couldn't find her there as well. I searched for her at the living room, the kitchen, the dining room and back to the living room but she's nowhere to be found. She's not inside the penthouse. My heart raced even more when I t
CHAPTER 83M I R A N D AI froze with what he said to me. I'm trying to process everything inside my head if he was joking or not but Landon wasn't laughing and neither was I. The wind was blowing through our hairs but we were both silent after those words.I fake a laugh, "It's not yet April Landon.""I'm serious." He says sternly.I moved my head back to him, "What?""I've been..." He breathes heavily. "I've been thinking about it lately and I think it's best if I just... Set you--""No." I cut him off. "You can't decide for both of us. I have the right to actually say something about this marriage too Landon. Not just you."My tears building fast inside my eyes and my heart is hurting."I've been so selfish Miranda. I've been selfish to you and to Hugo. I've only thought about my happiness the entire time we were together. I didn't think of how you felt when you were with me. And I didn't know how much you were hurting." He says."What are you even saying?" I asked."I…” He stares
CHAPTER 84M I R A N D AHe didn't say anything to me and continued to drive instead. We went quiet and we were still quiet when we reached back home. The kids were still with Landon's mom so I follow him inside the foyer where he stopped, so I stopped too. He stares at me and I know he's trying his very best to be strong for himself.He extends a hand, "Let's make dinner together for the first time."I stare at his blue eyes and I am sure that he was hurt so I take his hand as we walk silently to the kitchen. We began to grab the things we need as if we know what we were going to make. I side glance at Landon and he was busy getting some spices from the fridge while I take out the possible pans we were going to use."Let's make that pasta you showed me the other night." He says calmly, as if we didn’t talk about having the divorce."Alright." I sniff, wiping my tears from my cheeks.We began to chop everything we need for the sauce while Landon was busy boiling the linguine inside th
CHAPTER 85M I R A N D AIt has been a week since Landon and I have signed the divorce papers. Even though Landon planned it behind my back, I think all I've left to do was to sign the papers. I don't want to divorce him because he's a nice man but at the same time I don't want him to stay in this wrecked-up relationship that neither of us can't fix it.I guess the solution was ending it.I went back to New York after the signing of the divorce papers and I still communicate with Landon after it because he didn’t want me to feel that I lost him. He talks to me about Ben and Bethany since they were still in London. The kids still don't know how things are going between us but I wonder how will I tell Ben about this.The court are trying to sort things out about how Landon will have time for the kids since he has the right to be a father to them too.Landon still hasn't spoken up about the issue even though a part of it has already been leaked to the media. I don't want to comment anyth
