Carrying the child of a CEO (English) Reason
“I’m always by your side, Claire. Once a month, I come here to the Philippines to visit you and Mama,” The siblings sat side by side in front of their mother’s grave. After their reunion, they decided to talk in front of their mother while Timothy kept watch nearby—after all, he was accompanying two nobles, especially since the future King was present. “Always? Did Mama know about this?” Claire asked in surprise, to which Clark nodded. “She knew, Claire. I was the first to find you, and I kept it a secret from everyone, just as Mama instructed. You’re not at fault, Claire. Mama didn’t leave us without a reason—she had a purpose.” Claire frowned at her brother’s words while fidgeting with her hands. “A reason? What reason, Kuya Clark?” At her question, Clark turned to face her, his expression serious. “Your life was in danger, Claire. Remember those who kidnapped me? They were hunting you. And Mama… Mama didn’t die in a car accident." Claire froze at his words, a sudden fear

But in doing so, I failed to notice that I was leaving you behind. Do you know that when you were born, I never left your side? From the very beginning, I knew you were the kind of girl who wouldn’t hurt a fly—and I wasn’t wrong. During every training session, I watched over you. I told your brother to push you harder because I didn’t want your kindness to be your downfall one day. When you saved your brother, I saw your strength—how you inherited my stubbornness, the very thing your father hated about me. I saw your determination, Claire. I hid you because I didn’t want you to get hurt. You lost your memories, but I was certain they would return once you met the people from your past. I’m no longer afraid for your safety, Claire, because many will protect you now—especially Zekiel. I’ve met Zekiel, my child, and he is a good father to your children. Don’t be afraid to show him who and what you truly are—because he will be the first to accept you. Remember that. When the day com

After Zekiel and Zayne talked, Zekiel brought his son to his room and put him to sleep. He promised Zayne that he would save Claire, so he didn’t sleep that night and did everything he could to find a clue about the young woman. Zekiel sat at his desk, thinking of ways to make the search easier. He froze when he saw the CCTV monitor in front of him, suddenly realizing he could check who was with the woman. “I never let Venice go out without a bodyguard,” Zekiel muttered to himself, remembering that they had questioned the guards, but they claimed they hadn’t noticed anyone suspicious with Claire. “Impossible,” Zekiel said, immediately fiddling with the computer to pull up the CCTV footage from that night. A moment later, he saw Claire leaving, with his son chasing after her. But what caught his attention was the driver accompanying her. He quickly searched the master list of his employees and found the man’s name. He tried calling the man, but he couldn’t reach him, so he im

“I know you’re pregnant, Claire. You’re pregnant with your third child, aren’t you?” Claire froze mid-bite at her brother Clark’s words, forcing a smile as she looked at him. “So you knew, Kuya,” she replied awkwardly, her smile strained. He nodded in response. “Of course, I know. I’ve been watching over you—even Zayne.” Claire was shocked by his words. “I’ve already met your son, Zayne. Out of the twins, he’s the most mischievous but also smart, just like you. When I introduced myself to him before, he even mocked me,” Clark said with a frown, recalling his encounter with his nephew. “How, Kuya?” Claire asked in disbelief. “Whenever I come here, I don’t stay long. Once, I followed Zayne, and he caught me. I thought he’d call for help since I was tailing him, but he didn’t. Instead, he asked if I wasn’t hot in what I was wearing. That kid is something else—he looks fragile but is actually strong. I tried to take him with me, but he knocked me down in an instant. He’s just li

“Let’s go see Kiel!” Bea said, to which Hero and Dylan nodded in agreement. “Y-yes, we should go see her,” Zekiel muttered absentmindedly, immediately standing up. Zayne smiled at this and waited for his father. “Son, you lead the way, okay?” Zekiel told the boy, who nodded and took his father’s hand. They walked out of the office together, but as soon as the door opened, they were met with Claire’s face. Silence enveloped the room. Claire was about to knock again, thinking no one would let her in. “U-uh, hi?” the young woman said awkwardly, only to be shocked when Zekiel suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace. She wouldn’t admit it, but she had missed his presence. Even though she was angry at him because of what she had seen the last time they met, she couldn’t deny that she had longed for him. “D-don’t do that again, please,” Zekiel whispered quietly, tears streaming down his face—something Claire hadn’t expected at all. She pulled away slightly and looked at him, c

(Scene before Zoey and the others arrive in the Philippines) “WHAT?! Don’t joke like that—that’s not true!” Quinn’s voice trembled on the phone, tears welling up as she processed the news she had just heard. “Just read my email,” the person on the other end replied before abruptly hanging up. Without hesitation, Quinn grabbed her laptop and frantically searched for the email. Unbeknownst to her, Zoey had been standing there the whole time, eavesdropping. The child hadn’t meant to listen, but upon hearing her mother’s name, she froze in place. The moment Quinn opened the email, tears streamed down her face. It was a news article about Zekiel searching for a woman named Venice Sanchez. “Auntie, what happened to Mommy?” Quinn jolted at the voice, spinning around to find Zoey behind her. She quickly shut her laptop and wiped her tears. “N-Nothing’s wrong, your mom’s fine,” she stammered, but Zoey shook her head. “Auntie, I heard everything. But I need to be sure. Please

“W-What lie, Zoey?” she asked the child in shock. “They tricked me, Auntie! Mommy said she had work, but she’s here with Daddy! And she didn’t even introduce me! And I thought she was in an accident, Auntie?!” “I-I thought so too,” she answered the child in confusion. “A-AND Kuya! No wonder he didn’t want to introduce me to Daddy—because they don’t want me to be part of the family!” Quinn was stunned by this and stared in disbelief. “H-How did you meet Zayne?” At Quinn’s question, Zoey froze mid-sob. “You knew.” “Huh?” “You knew, Auntie! You knew Mommy was here! You knew they were together! You knew I have a twin!” Quinn couldn’t respond to Zoey’s words, making the child cry even harder. “Y-You’re all liars!” Zoey covered her face, causing Quinn to bow her head and let the child cry. But she was startled when, moments later, she heard the child struggling to breathe. “Zoey?” “A-Auntie, I can’t breathe…” Panicked, Quinn quickly grabbed a bottle of water and made h

“Mommy!” Zayne wanted to chase after the woman, but he stopped himself when his son looked at him. “Just let her go,” Zekiel said, surprising everyone, especially when he turned and went back into his office. “Daddy, is that it?!” Zayne shouted at him while the others silently listened. “You’re just gonna let Mommy leave?! I thought you loved her?!” Zekiel closed his eyes at his son’s words and rubbed his temples in frustration. “Of course I love her. I love her so much,” he answered. “Then that’s it! Let’s go after her!” Zekiel couldn’t hold back his shout, his mind racing. “Didn’t you hear?! She has a child, Zayne! We’re not her family—that’s why she’s leaving!” The boy froze at his father’s words, tears welling in his eyes. “What child—“ Bea was about to speak when Hero stopped her, shaking his head. “That’s their problem, not ours, Bea,” she could only nod and watch the scene unfold. Zayne suddenly ran out, heading straight to his room and locking himself inside.

They were already on their way home because after that encounter, they didn’t stay much longer, especially since the weather was getting hotter. They only had lunch at a restaurant, and now the twins were asleep in the back of the car. While on the road, Camille suddenly crossed Claire’s mind. “Zekiel, where is Camille, by the way?” Zekiel glanced at her briefly, his brow furrowing because she had brought it up so suddenly. “That girl? According to Hero, she’s in jail.” “Jail? Why? Is she locked up permanently?” Zekiel’s frown deepened at her question. “What do you mean ‘why’? Of course, she deserves to be there! She almost got you all in danger because of her, and I won’t let that slide.” Zekiel’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, while Claire fell silent, lost in thought. ’In danger…’ she whispered in her mind before her eyes suddenly widened. “Do you think Camille was the one who did that to Zoey?!” Zekiel looked at her briefly. “Impossible, my life. She had jus

“Z-Zekiel, fine. I’ll introduce you to Mama, and we’ll visit her grave. But I have one question,” Claire said nervously. She didn’t want to reject him—it would hurt him, even though she did want what he was offering. It just wasn’t the right time. “Go on,” Zekiel replied quickly, making Claire sigh. “The kids, Zekiel. We can’t just forget what happened to Zoey. What are we going to do about it?” Zekiel fell silent, then immediately felt anger rise within him. In the brief moment of happiness with his family, he had forgotten about the person who had tried to kill his child. “I’ll find him,” Zekiel said firmly. “I’ll go with you, Zekiel.” He turned to her, his expression softening. “No. I won’t let you put yourself in danger, Claire—especially not while you’re pregnant.” “Who said anything about fighting? I’ll just help you plan and search.” Zekiel was taken aback—how did she know they were going to fight? “How did you know we’d be fighting?” “Huh? O-Oh—“ Claire flinc

“Daddy, I’m so happy that we are complete now,” Zoey said with a smile as Zekiel adjusted the blanket for her, while Claire did the same on the other end. “Me too. We’ll never be separated again, okay?” “Your daddy is right. We won’t let anything tear us apart,” Claire said sweetly, making Zekiel glance at her and smile, which she returned. “Goodnight, Mommy and Daddy!” Zayne suddenly said, already lying down and yawning, making them laugh before they settled in as well. “Goodnight, twins,” Claire turned off the lampshade beside her and hugged Zayne, who snuggled into her. Her eyes met Zekiel’s from the other side of the bed, their children nestled between them. ‘I love you,’ Zekiel whispered into the air, and the woman understood, replying softly. ‘I love you too.’ --- THE NEXT MORNING, Claire woke up early and saw that her family was still fast asleep. She quietly walked to the veranda and opened it to breathe in the fresh air. She closed her eyes, savoring the p

Everyone had dinner together after arriving at Zekiel’s house. The noise around them never stopped, especially because of the kids—Bea and Dylan’s child was there. “What’s your baby’s name again, Bea?” Quinn asked with a smile, holding the baby’s tiny hands. “His name is Fritz.” “What a beautiful name, baby boy! And you’re so cute!” Quinn cooed happily. “Do you want one like him?” Bea teased, grinning as Quinn nodded while playing with the baby. “Then tell your boyfriend that,” Bea added, making Quinn widen her eyes in shock as she stared at her friend. “How did you two even happen?! I was only gone for a few months, and now you and Kuya are together?!” Claire pretended to scold her friend, making Bea burst into laughter at her reaction. “W-wait! I had nothing to do with that—“ ”Oh, Claire! Quinn here loves me so much—she’s absolutely obsessed with me,” Quinn’s eyes nearly popped out when Timothy suddenly appeared. “You’re so shameless! You twisted the whole story!”

“Y-You’re right, okay okay! Thank you, Louise! I wouldn’t know what to do if everything you said actually happens.” “Don’t forget, I’m always here, Claire. I’m your friend, and I’m ready to stand by you. Alright, bye now, Claire—my meeting starts in five minutes.” “Okay, Louise, thank you. Take care there!” After that call, she went straight to Zoey’s room and saw that the twins were already asleep, while Zekiel was waiting for her. “Why did you take so long?” the young man greeted her. “Louise called to check up on me.” Zekiel frowned at her words. “Louise? I blocked that guy—how was he still able to call you?” Claire’s ears perked up at what Zekiel said, remembering Louise mentioning he couldn’t reach her. “You! You’re the reason Louise couldn’t contact me right away!” Claire whispered sharply, almost shouting, making Zekiel freeze. “M-Me? What did I do?” he stammered, seeing the pain in her eyes. “Louise told me he couldn’t reach me, so he couldn’t tell me sooner

“WHY did you tell him?!” Claire said with wide eyes, whispering to her friends. “S-Sorry, Claire. We had no choice at that time,” Quinn replied. “Besides, it was your brother who came up with that plan, not me!” Claire could only sigh at Bea’s words, unable to look at Zekiel. “Wait, your brother? But isn’t that Timothy? He didn’t say anything back then.” Bea glanced at her friend, realizing that even she didn’t know the full truth about Claire’s past. “Why don’t you ask Timothy? I’m sure he knows something since he’s acquainted with Claire’s brother, Clark.” Quinn shot her boyfriend a sharp look. “A-Ahh, well… it’s a long story,” Timothy awkwardly laughed at his girlfriend. “Hey, my life,” Zekiel called out, causing Claire and her friends to freeze. “I think we should head out now. Let’s go, guys,” Bea said, pulling them away. “Wait, you all still have a lot of explaining to do!” Hero called after them, leaving the two standing by the door. Zekiel approached Claire

“Wait, Bea, I have a question,” Zekiel said, making everyone turn to him—even Claire waited for what he was about to say. “What is it?” “Did you have anything to do with why Mom and Dad showed up at my meeting with the board members back when Camille and I almost got married?” Suddenly, Claire remembered that incident—the very reason she had to go to Gray’s Company in the first place, because of the arranged marriage between Zekiel and Camille. “Ah, about that… Quinn was the one who made that decision, Claire, not me!” Claire frowned at the sudden shift in Bea’s expression, especially since she was looking at her when it was Zekiel who had asked the question, not her. “Why am I being dragged into this?” she asked, glancing between the two friends. “What do you mean you? It was Bea!” Claire only got more confused by what was happening—until the men approached them and Timothy spoke up. “They both said you were the owner of Cs Boutique.” (Flashback) “This is a huge mes

CLAIRE I couldn’t move from where I stood because of what I heard. Suddenly, the words of Kuya Clark and Timothy flashed through my mind. “How did that person get in here?! Don’t you have security?!” Zekiel’s voice rose, and I didn’t stop him because even I was furious about their negligence. “I’m really sorry, Mr. Gray, but this is a hospital. Anyone can enter, and we didn’t expect something like this to happen.” The doctor was right—we shouldn’t blame anyone because, first of all, no one wanted this. Who would’ve thought our daughter would be in danger? “Z-Zekiel, that’s enough. The doctor’s right. All we need to do now is find out who did this,” I said, tightening my grip on his hand, which made him sigh. He stared at me for a long moment before forcing a smile. This was one of the changes in him that I liked—he’d become humbler for me, unlike before when he was so prideful and quick to yell. “Okay, fine. Give me the footage, Doc. We’ll handle it.” The doctor nodd

“Wow! Zekiel said you’d all go out once Zoey recovers,” Bea suddenly said, saving them all and allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief. “Is that so? I hope our daughter wakes up soon,” Claire said sadly, looking at Zekiel. “M-Mommy…” They were startled by the weak voice, but it was loud enough for them to hear. When they turned toward the source, they saw Zoey was awake. “Zoey!” Claire immediately approached the child and asked how she was feeling. “Z-Zoey! You’re awake! How do you feel? How are you, sweetheart?” Claire asked rapidly. “I-I’m okay, Mommy… I’m thirsty…” “She wants water! Call the doctor, hurry!” Claire said frantically. Zekiel moved quickly and handed Claire the water. “Hey, calm down, okay? You’re panicking too much,” the man said to the woman, holding her hand that was clutching the glass of water. Claire finally snapped back to reality and seemed to relax. “Our daughter is fine, take it easy,” Zekiel added with a smile, making her unable to re
