Chapter Forty Eight
Five years later.
"Jake please, stop working at home!" Jessica crossed her arms in front of me.
She's pouting her lips like a brat that she is.
"I won't go to the party Jessica. I have an appointment tomorrow to Calvin's guidance councilor." I said and massaged the side of my head.
Calvin got into a fight again the other day.
I sighed as I remember his reason.
'I won't stop fighting until Ate comes back!'
Calvin's the hard headed one of the three of them.
"OMG! Where is that boy?! I'll talk to him!" Jessy sat on my table.
"Calen was talking to him when I left his room. Give the child a break. I understand him." I said and shut off my laptop.
"You're so soft with him! Cindy won't like to see him be like her!" She insisted.
"She should not have left him if that's what sh
Chapter Forty NineCalvin and I laughed as I let him drove my car
Chapter FiftyCindy couldn’t stop crying. I hit my forehead using my palm.
Last Chapter"Amethyst, sweetheart can you ask Daddy to get Mommy's scarf please?" I asked, my four years old daughter.
Chapter 1"Cindy sweetheart, please stay away from him. He's not good for you." my mom pleaded.Today's my 17th birthday and my mom keeps asking me to break up with my boyfriend, Leo. Great. Just great."Mommy don't do this to me. You know I love him." I answered.I met Leo last year, my friends and I were at the entrance of the Imperial Ice bar. We got faked ID's and the guard won't let us in. He was looking at me intently and said 'NO minors allowed here'. It was my first time going to a bar. It was just a challenge with my friends but we got busted anyway. A bunch of guys came out and there.. I saw Leo. He was wearing a white shirt, leather jacket and black pants. He looked tipsy but then he smiled and waved at me. "Hija you just turned 17 today, how old is he? 25! Oh my God Cindy. If your Dad finds out about this,--""Find out what?" I almost dropped the dress I was holding.My dad walked in the room."Daddy--I got a low score in my history exam last week. Yeah. But don't worry,
Chapter TwoBefore he can kiss me again. A phone rang.
Chapter ThreeDad cancelled our office day. He has an emergency in one of his projects. He looked so worried when I saw him running to his car. "Mom what happened?" I asked. I'm all dressed up. "I'm not sure Hija, but I hope it's not serious." My mom held my hand. "Come on, eat your breakfast. Join your brothers."I first saw Calen. He's my 2nd brother. He's reading a book while drinking his chocolate drink. "Hi Ate!" Calvin smiled at me. He's our youngest. "Let's watch spider man?" He jumped out of his chair and ran to me. He hugged my left leg. He's just 3 years old and he loves spider man. "Finish your pancake first baby." I picked him up and put on his chair. "Yummy." He clapped and dug in his plate. Stef texted me. She told me that Steven will go here today to bring my things and Leo's gift that we left at the condo. "Hija do you want French toast?" Mom asked. "No mommy, I'll just have milk." I answered. I tried to call Leo but he's out of coverage. Oh. I forgot his broke
Chapter FourMy head hurts. I'm hearing voices but I can't open my eyes. "How is she doc?" I heard my Daddy's voice. "Her vitals are okay. We have to schedule her brain surgery as soon as possible. We lost a lot of blood." What brain surgery? I can't open my mouth. My throat is so dry. Water. I need water."Do it doc. I can't lose my daughter. Please do your best." I heard my Mom cry. What is happening. Where is Leo? I can't hear his voice. My head hurts again. I'm suddenly sleepy. No. Leo. "Wake up baby. Mommy's here." I wanted too Mom, but I couldn't. "Nurse Vicky, prepare for the surgery room and call an anesthesiologist." I heard the voice say.I don't want to sleep but my mind is spinning. I tried remembering what happened. I remember a car crashed. A terrible one. It was the car that Leo rented for us when we landed in Cebu. That is the last thing that I remember, but where is my boyfriend? Leo. --------------------------------------------"Doc it's been eight days since the
Chapter FiveDad brought three bodyguards with us in the office. I already promised them that I won't run away, but he said it's for our protection. Protection from whom? Am I missing something here? "Cindy, this is Albert Lim, he's my assistant. Albert, I'd like you to meet my only daughter Cindy Anne Lopez." He extended his right hand for a handshake. I accepted it with a smile. I think he's in his mid 20's. He looked nice."Welcome to the company Ms. Cindy." He said while shaking my hand."Thank you Albert." I looked at Dad. "Where's my office?" I asked. He just chuckled. "Albert, please guide Ms. Cindy to her office and tells her job description then follows me to the conference room." He tapped my back and left us in his office."Let's go Ms. Cindy. Please follow me." Albert opened the door. My three bodyguards followed us. Seriously?I rolled my eyes. "Can you guys stay in the lobby? How can I work if you will be following me around?" I crossed my arms. "Ms. Cindy, that's our j

Chapter Forty Seven"Aren't you saying goodbye to them?" Lindsey asked as she hummed a song to her baby.I shook my head and just smiled.Jacob fist bumped Carlo and Calvin. Calen was on the side of his girlfriend. He could walk again without the help of anybody. Jacob waved goodbye to my Aunt and Uncle as he entered his car.Today is his first day in our company.Uncle assigned him as the new acting CEO.I am so proud of him."Cindy, you know they will accept you. That's your family." Lindsey said.I turned to her."Of course they will. Lindsey my world changed the day I found out that I'm carrying my baby. I need to be selfish for her. She's my world now." I answered and started the engine.For the past five months, I have been living alone in Lindsey and Adam's private house in Zambales.I fetch her and Ra
Chapter Forty Six"Ate." Calen called me.I turned to my brothers as I wiped my tears.I opened my arms for them.They all went around my bed to hug me."I'm so happy you are all here." I whispered as I hugged them."Congrats Ate." Calen said.I nodded and faced them.I pinched Calvin's rosy cheek."I miss you all."I let every person in the room greet me before they go. I felt like I was in cloud nine because of their presence.My team were the last visitors.Jacob didn't let go of my hand as Centaur and Sphinx walked to me."Phoenix. Phoenix." Centaur shook her head as he reached my hand and kissed the top of it. "You really arise from the ashes." Centaur smirked."Thank you Centaur. I don't know how to repay you in this lifetime." I smiled at him."Then pay me in your next life."
Chapter Forty FiveI blinked two times to adjust my vision. I heard a commotion outside of the door. I roamed around the room. Jacob and Jessy were not here.
Chapter Forty FourJacob held my hands as he recited his vows.
Chapter Forty ThreeI still couldn't believe that Mina died because of my recklessness. Leo locked me up inside the room again. He just left a glass of water in a paper cup.
