Betraying the Heiress Chapter 22
That was the only thing we did at that time, and the others went back to the swimming pool to swim while I stayed at the table because I enjoyed drinking beer there. "I think the beer we bought is not enough for us," I said. I've already had a few bottles and I also sometimes drink Bacardi, and other wines we bought. Stefan also stayed by my side and didn't go with his friends because he was watching over me. "Yes. Do you want us to buy again?" he asked. I laughed and shook my head. "No, that's enough. If it's not enough, I still have some inside that was hidden earlier," I answered. It's already afternoon and I don't want to go out anymore. There are also wines inside the house that we can drink so if we run out we can still have something to drink. "So, beer is your favorite?" Stefan asked. "Yeah. This tastes better," I answered. "Are you having fun today, Eli?" he asked again. I smiled as I watched our friends happily playing in the middle of the swimming pool before nodd

"Your ex is here. Don't you have a plan to at least greet him?" Stefan asked me. We finished playing in the swimming pool and now we are just soaking in it. Clara and Elijah left for a while to get us drinks because I asked her to get me a beer. "Why would I do that? There is no need to greet him," I replied. That is the truth. Why should I greet the person who is part of my past? Especially, we didn't get along the last time we talked because I always avoided him. I looked where Allison and Jackson were, and I saw Jackson looking where I was. I just looked away because Clara and Elijah had already returned. They sat on the edge of the swimming pool and put down the beer I asked them to get, so I immediately came over there. "Jackson has been looking at you for a while now. I think he's regretting breaking up with you," Clara said then laughed. "If I were Jackson, I would also regret it," Stefan said there. "Why did he look for another girl? You're the full package, Eli," Elija

I initially assumed that Stefan was joking, but when I noticed that he was on his phone, I continued to stand there. I was startled as Jackson abruptly walked up to me, and I struggled to make any movement."Eli." He called me.Allison's voice rang in my ears, "Jackson! Come here!" I stumbled there and got to my feet while staring at Jackson. I also just realized that I can now look at him in the eyes, but it won't be for long because when I do, all the wonderful moments from our three years of dating come flooding back to me. Allison ceased calling Jackson after I gave her the all-clear."Do you need something, Jackson?" I asked him. I cannot be impolite to him just because of our history since he is our visitor."Nothing, Eli. I just want to talk to you if it's okay with you," he replied. I exhaled deeply, and there we were again, just the two of us. Even if we have nothing to talk about he still wants us to talk. This is how he wants to communicate with me again. I asked him on

The party at our house that night was fun and memorable even though my ex Jackson was there. I am also thankful to Stefan because he never left my side. He accompanied me the whole night and I admit that during the night we spent together I got to know him little by little, as well as his friends. The next day, Mommy got home from her business trip, and as usual, she bought a lot of gifts for the three of us, Allison and Stella. We were also busy at school, especially me, because of our exams. I also didn't go to a party for a few weeks because I really had to focus on my studies. I was very stressed with my major subjects, but I just enjoyed them. I can't do anything if I just complain, especially since I liked the doctoring course.I was also so busy studying that I barely slept. If I can sleep, it's only four hours. Two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening. That's why I'm so proud of myself because I'm still alive today.When I finished one of my exams, I went straigh

"There's a restaurant near here. Let's just walk," he told me.I stopped and frowned at him before speaking."What? Are you serious? I just took a shower," I answered him.I think we both have a car, so why do we have to walk when we can just ride in the car to the restaurant he was mentioning?"That's okay. We're even close. Let's go!" he said to me.I leaned on him and shook my head again, but he just grinned and took the duffel bag that was hanging on my shoulder."I'll lift it so you don't have a hard time," he said.I sighed and let him carry it. He started walking, so I just followed him. I've only been able to walk outside like this after going to the gym because I often go home right away or go to the mall."Is it far?" I asked him."I was not informed that there is a restaurant here," I added.I looked around and saw that all I could see were street foods. I also looked for a building that could be a restaurant, but I didn't find anything."We're here," he said.We stopped at

"Sorry. Did I disturb you and Josiah?" Stefan asked me.I frowned and quickly shook my head at him before turning back to Josiah, who was just sitting there at our table. I saw him looking at us, and he just raised one hand as if he were making a gesture to greet Stefan."What? No! Just don't mind him," I answered Stefan."By the way, are you with your friends too?" I ask.I also just noticed that he was holding a glass full of wine. He looked back for a moment before shrugging at me."Yeah, and we have our own table," he answered.I nodded to him and also moved my eyes to the people dancing on the dance floor. Later, I will dance there because the alcohol I drink has not affected me yet."Do you want to go to our table? We also have other friends with us that you haven't met yet. I'll introduce you to them if it's okay with you," he said one after the other."Yeah, sure! Why not?" I laughed and answered him.I looked at our table. They were all busy talking, but Josiah kept looking a

"Where have you been last night? We haven't seen you. Don't tell me you're with Stefan the whole night?" Clara asked me.As usual, we are back at school today to pass a bunch of schoolwork. We don't have academics all week because it's almost summer break. The only thing we need to do now is pass the rest of our requirements. Clara and I walked to the cafeteria to buy drinks to cool down because we were already sweating in the heat.I took a deep breath when I remembered what happened with me and Stefan last night. I don't know if I'll tell Clara, but I know I can't lie to her either."Oh my gosh! Let me guess!" she said excitedly, then pulled me closer.She signaled to me that she was going to whisper, so I bowed slightly because I was taller than her."Something has happened to you and Stefan," she said suspiciously.My eyes widened in shock. I felt my cheeks heat up. I'm telling you, I really can't escape from her correct suspicions of me.I closed my eyes tightly and bit my lip be

A few days passed, and Stefan and I only had face time. Sometimes he visits the house and always brings food. Allison and Stella didn't ask me anymore because it was obvious that Stefan was making moves on me. Mommy already knows about that because she was the first one I told about, and she supports what I want.The day of our outing came, and my two sisters were very excited while I was just chilling. Since we haven't seen Stefan in person for a few days, I will admit that I miss him. I miss his smell so bad.The last time we talked was yesterday because he was on an outing and would update me from time to time. That's fine, so he can really enjoy his summer vacation."Why do you look so lethargic, girl? Come on! Cheer up!" Clara told me.Today is our flight to Boracay. Our flight was early, so she and Josiah slept here just last night. I should have been happy because we were going to stay in Boracay because I knew Stefan's friends were talking about that, but I was suddenly sad whe

"Won't your boyfriend be angry? I can explain to Yasmin that you can't join us," Stefan said as we walked to Yasmin's hospital room.I shook my head and smirked a little because he really believed that Lance was my boyfriend."There's nothing to be angry about. Don't mind about it, Stefan. It's okay. I assure you," I told him, and he smiled.He sighed and shook his head at me, as if I couldn't convince him that it was all right for me."I just don't want you to fight because of this," he answered when we finally entered Yasmin's room.I saw Yasmin's frown when she looked at us; that's why I smiled at her, because she seemed to have heard the last thing Stefan said."Get angry? Who gets angry? Is your mommy taking you away from us, Doc?" Yasmin asked one after the other.I quickly shook my head at her and looked at Stefan, who led me to walk. He immediately went straight to the table and put the paper bag he was carrying there."No, it's not her mother, Yasmin. I just said that, becaus

"Come on, Eli. Tell me the truth. I won't be angry if you and Stefan get back together again," Josiah scolded me.I sighed and raised an eyebrow at him. I told him earlier that Stefan and I didn't get back together, but he didn't want to believe that."Stop it, Jos. We just talked. That's it," I answered him.We are now walking to a restaurant near the hospital. As usual, even when I'm outside, I know there are bodyguards following me. It was already dinner time, so we decided to eat outside because we had duty all night."Talked? You said that you already talked. I've seen you two talking so many times that's why you can't use an excuse that word to me," he said one after another as if he didn't really believe what I was saying.I shook my head again because I didn't know how I could convince him that Stefan and I really just talked earlier."If you don't want to believe me, then you better ask him by yourself. We really just talked for our closure, and we also talked about the false

After coming from the precinct, I went straight to the hospital. Josiah immediately approached me to ask what happened."Stella mentioned to me that you are from the precinct. How are you? Have you talked to your dad's twin brother?" Josiah immediately asked me.I nodded and sighed."Yup. I have also introduced them to Tito Adler, and we still get to know him," I answered.Josiah nodded at me before he fixed his laboratory coat. He was about to speak, but he turned his gaze behind me, which made me frown, and looked at it.I saw Stefan approaching us; that's why I held my breath."I'll just check on some of my patients. I'll come to your office later," Josiah said, then immediately left.I panicked for a moment because I didn't expect him to leave right away, but I calmed myself down."Doc Eli," Stefan called me.I kept looking at him, and I could see the doubt in his eyes, as if he wasn't sure if he should approach me now.I cleared my throat and stood properly before I spoke."Mr. E

"How can you not know about that, Mom?" Allison asked."My gosh! If he hadn't introduced himself, I might have believed that it was Dad!" Stella said one after the other."How can I know about that? Your Daddy never mentioned to me that he has a twin!" Mommy answered, then sat down on the sofa.We are at home now because, after Tito Adler's statement appeared on the news, Mommy called us to come home. I thought they wouldn't be able to watch it right away because they were busy with their work, but I was surprised when they watched it right away."He looks like Dad. I suddenly miss Daddy," Allison said with a sad voice.I remembered the night Uncle Adler appeared to me, and I was also very devastated because I thought it was Dad in front, but it wasn't. I understand Allison's feelings because I have felt the same."So what's your plan, Mom? Don't tell me we're not going to help him, huh?" asked Stella.I looked up at Mommy because I was interested in her answer to Stella's question. I

I don't know how many minutes passed until Mommy finally calmed down, but there was still a trace of anger in her eyes. "I-I just want to help the baby, but that doesn't mean I'm going back to Stefan," I explained to them. Even Stella did not want to agree to me adopting Elias because she said it was not my obligation. Another thing is that they really hate Stefan, even though I told them that I forgave him a long time ago. "How can you be so sure about that? I'm sure that man will use you again!" Stella said, annoyed. "It looks like you're planning to fool around for the rest of your life, Eliana. Hey! I don't know if I should be the one to say it. You're at the right age, so it's up to you!" Mommy kept preaching to me. I sighed again because I couldn't understand why they were thinking of me getting back together with Stefan, even though it never crossed my mind. "I just want to help the baby, but I have no intention of getting back together with Stefan. I don't have any feeli

After I got Yasmin back to her room, I let her rest. Stefan was still there, and Elias was asleep in the little crib. "Thank you, Doc. How is she?" Stefan asked me. Yasmin fell asleep immediately because her body gets tired quickly. Stefan, on the other hand, stopped what he was doing to come to me and say thank you. "She was fine, and we have already talked. She just mentioned something to me earlier," I answered, then shrugged my shoulders. I could see the slight surprise in his eyes, as if he already knew what it was about. "A-About what?" he stuttered. I avoided looking at him, and I looked at Yasmin, who was sleeping on her bed, as if she were very tired. "She doesn't want to have the surgery," I answered.I feel so sorry for her, because even if I don't agree with what she wants, I can't do anything else. "Yes, she already told me about that. I don't agree to what she wants even though her funds for her treatment have been used up," Stefan explained, causing me to turn t

I saw that the sun was about to set, and I was glad to witness it now because it was almost night when I left the hospital. It's a good thing that Yasmin asked for this, so I was able to watch the sunset with her. "How's your feeling?" I asked Yasmin. We are now behind the hospital, where there are many trees and a large oval field. This is the place I chose for my hospital so that I could give the patients a big space. The air is fresh there, and I sometimes go here when I want to be alone. There are also other patients there who are being taken around by their nurses. "As of now, I feel fine and feel no pain," Yasmin answered me. I gave her the vegetable salad that Josiah gave me earlier because I couldn't eat it anymore. I only drink iced coffee now. Yasmin was looking at the big oval field while sitting in her wheelchair, so I sat on a bench right next to her. "Your surgery is coming soon. Are you ready?" I asked her. I looked at Yasmin, and I saw a lot of changes in her ph

I didn't last long in the nursery room either, and Stefan and I were able to talk there, so when we finished, I went back to my work. "You see?" Josiah asked me when we met again.I took a deep breath and then nodded in response to him. He smiled slightly at me, then lightly patted my shoulder. "I feel good about the baby, Jos. When I saw and touched him earlier, it was like I was being with Margaret again," I told him, and then I couldn't help but smile. I saw Josiah immediately shake his head while looking at me, so I slightly raised an eyebrow at him. "How many times do I have to tell you, Eli? Separate your personal feelings in situations like this so you don't get hurt in the end," he said to remind me again. I held my breath and tried to smile at him before speaking. "I know, Jos. I just felt something strange about the baby," I answered him. I know that my weakness is children because I lost my own child. I just sometimes think that Yasmin is very lucky because, even tho

I went straight to Lance's room and found him awake. He was talking with Criza, his sister. They looked at me at the same time when I entered, so I smiled. "Doc, Eli." Criza greeted me. I smiled at Criza and couldn't help but remember what I discovered about what happened to her. I turned to Criza to have a kiss with her, then I looked at Lance, who was just looking at me silently. "I'll leave you two here for now. I'm just going to buy something outside," Criza said to say goodbye. I nodded to her, and I watched her until she got out of Lance's hospital room. When Criza finally left, I turned to Lance again. He smirked as if he was going to start teasing me again, so I immediately came to him and lightly slapped his arm. "Ouch! Eliana! Did you really come here to hurt me?" he asked, then laughed slightly. "Yeah, because you're annoying! Why did you catch the bullet meant for me? You don't have nine lives," I complained to him. He laughed, so I glared at him. "Stop laughing. T
