-FOUR MONTHS LATER-

Several months have passed, and my baby has been in my womb for six months now. They’re getting heavy.

Sometimes, I even struggle to stand. How could you not, when there are two babies inside? I don’t know how you wouldn’t find it difficult.

"There’s nothing you can do, Bea. I’m going there now, and that’s final."

Bea and the others returned home a week after I found out I was carrying twins. At first, Dylan didn’t know I was pregnant, but when my belly started growing, he realized—and was shocked to find out it was twins.

He never asked who the father was. He probably respected that I didn’t want to say, especially since I never mentioned anything to him.

Now, Bea and I are arguing because I want to see Zekiel. It’s been so long since I last saw him in person.

I need to see him face-to-face—it feels like I’ll die if I don’t.

"Claire, you’re losing your mind again! What if something happens to you?! What if he recognizes you?! Claire, come on!"

    DYLAN I’m currently in Kiel’s office because we need to have a meeting about the woman he’s been searching for a long time. He entrusted me to find her. On the day of our wedding, he had a one-night stand with a woman, and according to him, they were supposed to have a child. That’s what he said, but I don’t believe it. If they were really having a child, the woman should have come forward to hold him accountable. But months have passed, and she’s still nowhere to be found. "Why can't you all find her?! It's just a simple task!" I winced at Kiel’s outburst—this is how he always reacts whenever we fail to locate the woman. Ever since she disappeared, he’s become even more hot-tempered, colder, and harsher toward everyone around him—even toward me, his friend. "We need to find her! We have to see her!" He said this in frustration, even pulling at his hair. This was the first time I’ve seen him in such a state—going crazy over someone he doesn’t even know. I stayed quie

    "HELLO?""Love, are you okay?! Did something happen to you and my child?!" I immediately asked, but the person on the other end just laughed."What’s wrong with you, love? We’re fine—you’re such an overthinker. By the way, why did you call?"I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders upon hearing that, but why was Claire outside? And what was she doing at Gray’s Company?I took a deep breath before telling her the truth. I didn’t want her to know because I was afraid something might happen to her and our child, but I knew how important Claire was to her.I saw the joy on Bea’s face when she found out Claire was pregnant. On our wedding day, she had cried endlessly because of what a friend had said."Love, please don’t be shocked—it might affect you and our baby.""Okay, sure. What is it?""But before that, why is Claire outside? What is she doing at Gray’s Company?"Silence fell on the other end."Love?""H-ha? Uh, well—wait, how did you know she’s there?""I had a meeting with Kiel, l

    CLAIRE I woke up crying and immediately held my stomach. "My baby! My baby!" "Claire! Shh... Claire, calm down. The twins are okay now! They're fine!" I looked at Bea because of what she said and grabbed her arm. "Bea, my children! My children!" Bea hugged me to calm me down. "Shh, the twins are okay, Claire. Don’t worry anymore." Because of her words, I looked at her, seeking reassurance. "Yes, they're fine now. That’s what your doctor said. He told me your babies are strong—they fought hard." I burst into tears again at her words and touched my swollen belly. "Forgive Mommy for what I did, my babies. It won’t happen again! We’ll never show ourselves to your father again—he almost killed you!" "What? What do you mean, killed?!" I looked at Bea at her question, seeing the confusion in her eyes. "Z-Zekiel, Bea. Zekiel did this to me. He pushed a woman onto me, making me hit the floor and fall. H-he said we deserved it for being attention-seekers." I cried

    “WHY were you at Gray Company, Claire? And of all the places you could stop, it had to be right in front of Kiel? I already told you, that guy has a short temper—and it’s gotten worse now.” I couldn’t answer Dylan’s question. Mom and Nanay were already here. They said they were so worried about me that they even went to my house to get my clothes while I was asleep. I glanced at Bea, who also seemed uneasy about Dylan’s question. I scrambled for an excuse to get out of this. He might suspect something about why I was really there. “Uhh, well… I was supposed to meet a friend—mine and Bea’s friend. She works at Zekiel’s company. But then my stomach started hurting a little, so I had to stop right in front of Zekiel… and then, well, that happened.” Dylan nodded, but I doubted he believed me. He must have seen the CCTV footage—and I definitely didn’t look like I was in pain. The pain I felt was… different. “Oh, Kiel said he’s really sorry. He didn’t mean to do it. He wanted to a

    THREE MONTHS LATER “Keep pushing, hija! Don’t stop now!” I didn’t think I could take the pain any longer—my body felt like it was breaking apart. I didn’t have the strength to push anymore. “Ahhh!!!” I forced myself anyway until, finally, my first child was born. The cries of my newborn filled the room as I collapsed onto the bed, gasping for air. “It’s a boy! Your firstborn is a boy, Claire!” Dr. Anderson—Dylan’s mother—announced excitedly. On the day the twins were in danger, I learned that Dylan had taken me to his mother—my own doctor. We were shocked at the coincidence. I’d never even met his mother before. “Claire! Claire, wake up! There’s still another baby inside you!” Her voice echoed in my ears, but my eyelids were too heavy to lift. “Claire, you have to wake up! If you don’t, your baby will d!e!” I tried. I needed to save my child—but the pain was unbearable. I felt like I was dying. “I… I can’t, Auntie ,” I choked out, sending the room into chaos.

    CLAIRE couldn’t stop her tears when the baby boy was placed in her arms first, followed by the baby girl. She cradled one in each arm, and the moment she held them close, they suddenly quieted down. “T-twins… I’m your mommy,” Claire whispered. As soon as she spoke, both babies opened their eyes—revealing two pairs of striking gray eyes that made her cry even harder. “You got my eyes!” she said joyfully as they instinctively nuzzled closer. “Our grandchildren are so beautiful! Though it seems they only got your eyes, Claire. They must take after their father,” Lucing remarked. “Well, he must be handsome too—look how gorgeous they are!” Erin chimed in happily, making Claire glance at her through her tears. “Mom… I’m so happy,” Claire murmured as Erin gently wiped her tears away. Meanwhile, Dylan, who had been helping Bea walk toward the twins, froze the moment he saw them from a distance. Bea tensed up, her eyes darting to her husband—especially since the twins looked

    CLAIRE A few days later, our lives returned to normal, but now it’s even happier because we have Zayne and Zoey. When I gave birth, Mom and Nanay were overjoyed, and even now, they’re still so happy taking care of the twins. Sometimes, they even fall asleep on my bed, so I just let them stay there while I sleep on the couch. I can’t contain the overwhelming happiness I’ve felt since the moment I saw the twins. I remember how Zoey’s and my life were almost in danger—I didn’t even know I had a heart condition. From what I know, that kind of illness is hereditary, but how? Has it ever been in our family? Maybe from Papa, since I’ve never met him. Thankfully, it was caught early, because otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to bear losing one of the twins. There are two of them, and as much as possible, I want them to always stay together. As for Bea, from what I know, she’ll be giving birth any day now, but the thing is, they’re all in another country. They chose to have

    “TELL me, nurse, my mom is okay, right?! She’s okay, isn’t she?!” I frantically asked, my voice trembling, making the nurse sigh heavily. “I’m sorry, miss. Your mother is gone. She was dead on arrival earlier and is now in the morgue.” I staggered back at her words, tears streaming uncontrollably down my face. Clutching my mouth, I immediately ran toward the morgue. “Miss! Miss, wait!” I kept running, my vision blurred by tears. I couldn’t accept the truth—I just couldn’t! When I reached the morgue, I peeked through the door and saw a lone figure lying inside, covered entirely by a white sheet. Hands shaking, I turned the doorknob and stepped in, gently closing the door behind me. I faced the body, praying it wasn’t her. Slowly, I lifted the sheet—and my knees buckled the moment I saw my mother’s lifeless face. I sobbed into my hands, collapsing to the floor. I couldn’t take it. I couldn’t bear losing her. What will happen to me now? What will happen to us? She w

    “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

    “Are you even listening to me, Claire?!” “Yes, Kuya! Geez! I’m just thinking—if what you’re saying is true, then I believe it’s time for me to act.” Timothy frowned at Claire’s words. “Act? I didn’t tell you so you could take action, Claire! What’s wrong with you?” The young woman turned to look at him. “If I don’t act, then what? Should I just let my family suffer? Kuya, they’re after me, so I should be the one to end this.” Timothy stared at his friend in disbelief, seeing the seriousness in her expression. He hadn’t expected that along with the return of her memories, her stubbornness would come back too. “I won’t allow that. I’ll tell your brother about this.” Claire’s eyes widened at his words. “N-No! I was just kidding! I won’t do it, Kuya!” “You can’t fool me.” Timothy turned away, but Claire quickly grabbed his arm to stop him. “Kuya, come on! Kuya Clark told me Mom died because of those people!” Timothy froze and turned back to her. He saw tears streaming do

    Kaithy glanced at her child’s words and saw a handsome man who looked exactly like the twin. “Mom, Auntie, this is Kuya Zekiel. The father of our children and my boyfriend.” Zekiel was shocked by Claire’s words, especially when she reached out her hand to him. Without thinking, he took it and let her pull him closer. Meanwhile, Nanay Lucing broke her embrace with her grandchild and turned her gaze to Zekiel. “So you’re Zekiel,” she said seriously, making Zekiel smile. Even though he was surprised by the sudden introduction, his heart swelled with happiness. “Hello, I’m sorry I wasn’t there to take care of your daughter. But whatever happened in the past, let’s forget it—what matters now is the present,” Zekiel said with a smile. However, none of them knew someone was listening from the doorway. “Forget the past? In your dreams, Gray,” the person muttered through gritted teeth, slowly closing the door. Zekiel glanced at the now-closed door, and if looks could kill, it would

    ”WHERE is your brother?” Claire looked at Bea because of her question, which also made the others glance at her. “Ah, he already left. He’s going back home.” “To Paris?” Zekiel suddenly cut in, making Claire look at him. “Y-Yes,” Their brows furrowed at Claire’s response, and she immediately went to Zoey to attend to her. Bea, Dylan, and Hero exchanged looks at the girl’s action and just shrugged. They didn’t want any more commotion. “WHERE is my grandchild?!” Claire jolted awake upon hearing a loud voice and saw Nanay Lucing along with Quinn, Kaithy, and Timothy. “Nanay Lucing!” She quickly stood up and hugged her. “Zoey’s fine now. She’s had surgery, and the doctor said she’ll recover fully.” “Thank goodness! We were so worried!” Timothy’s mother said before approaching Zoey to check on her more closely. “Why didn’t you tell us, Claire? We would’ve understood. Why did you keep it a secret?” Claire fell silent at that, and Timothy stepped closer. “You have a

    I was pulled away from hugging Kuya (older brother) because of that, and I looked at him. He had a smile on his lips and wiped the tears on my cheeks. “If Mama were here, she would say the same thing—let them be, Claire.” Because of what Kuya said, I turned to the doctor and nodded. “Go ahead, Doc. And please… save our child.” After I said that, I felt Zekiel hold my hand. He smiled at me, then looked at the doctor. “Operate on our child,” Zekiel said before turning back to me and squeezing my hand. So this is what it feels like to have someone beside you in times of sorrow… It feels so comforting. “The operation was successful.” I immediately hugged Zekiel and Zayne when the doctor delivered the news as he stepped out of the operating room. “M-Mommy… D-Daddy, my twin is safe now!” Zayne said happily, making me smile as I could no longer hold back my tears. I was overjoyed that Zoey’s operation had a successful outcome. I glanced at Zekiel when he held my hand, smi
