CHAPTER 10M I R A N D AHugo and I headed out of the rehab center and walked to the nearest Starbucks. We marched our way inside and thank god nobody mobbed us on the streets."What do you wanna have?" Hugo asks me while he leans his hand over the counter.I take a minute to think. I don't really want anything to drink, I just wanted to come with him. I glanced at him and he's looking at me thoroughly, studying my facial expression."Mocha latte. Venti." I said."Make that two please." Hugo added with his deep hoarse voice."Should we put it under your name sir?" She asked Hugo.He nods. "Yes, thank you." He smiles tight-lipped before he looked back at me, "Do you want anything to eat?"I shake my head in response.When Hugo was done paying, we settled ourselves on a table and waited for our orders to be called out. He sits right across me as he pushes his hair off his face."How's Alex?" I asked out of the blue."He's getting a bit heavier everyday." He answers while he locks his ey
CHAPTER 11M I R A N D A"Why don't you stay here at home for the night Hugo?" Landon offers and I quickly turned my attention to him.My brows are meeting at the center of my forehead and I am undeniably shocked by what Landon is trying to say right now.What the hell is Landon planning?Hugo takes a bite on his food and glanced at me. I know he feels awkward with this situation and I know he knows that I feel a bit awkward with Landon’s offer too. We were having a peaceful dinner at home and I wasn't feeling anything great about Landon's idea."I mean, it would be great for Ben to spend more time with you. You can tell him bedtime stories and sing him to sleep." Landon adds.I kept my eyes on my food while I am eating dinner awkwardly and Ben was too happy about Landon's idea. He's giddy on his seat and he sounds so excited with it.But I wasn't.After what happened at the exit staircase a while ago? I wouldn't want that to happen again. I don't wanna be unfaithful to Landon again.
CHAPTER 12M I R A N D AI was on top of the bed next to Ben who was fast asleep beside me. I push his hair off his face and just watch his chest go up and down as he breathe. Hugo's out to the restroom and he's been out for a while now. I think he's taking a shower or whatsoever.I hum a song to Ben while I run my forefinger over his nose bridge. The room was quiet and Landon has been in his office for a while now too.Suddenly the door swings open and I kind of jumped but then recovered by it. It was Hugo, wearing a pair of black jogger pants and some white shirt. Damn he's still good on that. I swear he looks hot on this jogger pants. He walks closer to the bed while he rubs his wet hair against the towel. He just took a shower. Damn I could smell the scent of his shampoo from where I was. I quickly fixed myself on top of the bed, the minute Hugo was close enough to me.He stares at me."You can go to your room with Landon now. I'll guard Ben while he sleeps for the night." Hugo in
CHAPTER 13H U G OPARIS: I need your help Randy. I'm so scared. I'm so scared right now.I tried to ignore what Paris sent her. I don't understand. Why is Paris acting like this? What's she scared of? Who's she scared of?I sit on the couch and kept my eyes glued to her text. I try to think of what she was possibly talking about in this text. It looked simple but had so much meaning in it. I try to read in between the lines but I still couldn't figure out what Paris is trying to say in this text she sent Rose. Maybe Rose knows about it. It's already one in the morning and I wouldn't want to wake Miranda up and tell her that I opened her message. She'll feel like I invaded her privacy.Her phone beeps again.It was another text from Paris.PARIS: We need to tell him. I feel so bad for hiding it from him all these years. I had a nightmare. It was horrible. It was so traumatizing that I'm too scared that it looked real. I don't want it to happen. I'm so scared. I'm really scared. We nee
CHAPTER 14M I R A N D AI asked the nurse on the nurse's station where Paris’ room was and I am anxious. I am panting, trying to catch my breath and feeling incredibly scared but I knew I had to see her.Hugo, Landon and I rushed our way to Paris' hospital room and we were all worried for what happened to her. Zachary called us up this morning and told us about what happened. He said Paris was having tantrums and nightmares. I'm glad they were still here in New York when this happened. I'm so worried for Paris. I hope nothing serious had happened to her. I don't know what has exactly happened last night but I wish her baby is still alive. I wish she's okay too. I wouldn't want her to have another miscarriage again.When we reached her room, we quickly marched inside and saw Paris sleeping on her bed. She looked pale. Very pale. Very weak. The three of us walked near Zachary and he hugged us respectively. He looked tired and he looked like he hasn't gotten any sleep at all."Thanks fo
CHAPTER 15P A R I S A few years back.I cried while Audrey holds me around her arms while she tells me that it was going to be okay. She tells me that Zachary will be happy about this but Zachary doesn't want a baby yet. He's not ready for that kind of commitment. I know we're engaged but he's famous and this will change his dreams and his plans. He's not ready. He told me about this and we have talked about this but here I'm pregnant. It's not my fault. It's not my fault that I'm pregnant. I want this baby. I want a baby with Zachary so badly but he's not ready.Audrey tells me to be strong for the baby. She tells me that I should tell Zachary no matter how he will accept it. I'm pregnant. I'm four weeks pregnant and this will ruin my career. This ruin Zachary's career. This will ruin Satellite Patrol. This will ruin me. We signed a contract. He shouldn't have gotten me pregnant. What should I do? They will hate me. They will hate me so much. I'm going to lose my fame and my fans.
CHAPTER 16M I R A N D A"Tea?"I pulled my head up and it was Landon, handing me a cup of tea. I smiled at him and he sits next to me. We were inside the dining table and I was worried how things turned out between Paris and Zachary. I hope they're doing great now.Landon rubs my back, "You helped Paris talk it out with Zachary. Don't feel bad about it."I smiled ruefully. "I just feel terribly bad for Paris. She was just confused that time and I hope Zachary's not really mad at her for what she did.""Zachary couldn't live without Paris. He will eventually forgive her I'm sure. Now lighten up." Landon cheers me up.I sigh. "If they end up getting a divorce, I'm the one to blame."He pulls me closer to him and he kisses my temple. "It wasn't your fault. You helped them sought things out between them."I hear Landon sighing, "I just didn't expect Paris would've done abortion. Nobody knew."I rested my head over Landon's shoulder.While I was standing at the kitchen counter, I was stil
CHAPTER 17A U D R E YI watch him while he stares at Alex. He doesn't know how to play with his own son unlike Hugo who comes so naturally great with kids. Alex has been crying and he doesn't know how to tame him down. I watch him and loathe him at the same time. If he wasn't a killer, a criminal and if I wasn't too scared of him, I would've left him already. But I need him. I need him for my plans. I need to manipulate him. I need him so I could have Hugo's money. All of it.I'll be rich again. I'll have billions."Enough already." I said annoyingly as I pull Alex away from him.His entire room smelled like drugs and cigars and alcohols."Why do you deprive me from my son?" He asks."He's not your son." I snapped.He laughs. "Last time I checked, I am the father. And Hugo wouldn't marry you if I didn't get you pregnant." He smokes like a chimney.I quickly covered Alex's mouth and nose with my own hands then pulled him away from this sick man."Have a shame on yourself please! You'l
