YVONNE —"Excuse me, madam, please, is this the street where a lady named Yvonne Bailey lives?" the man asked as he removed his glasses."Yvonne Bailey?" I repeated, and he nodded in affirmation."Uhm, I don't really know the lady with the name, but I have heard the name before, and I have overheard that she stays in this city," I remarked, pretending I did not know who he was referring to. Yvonne Bailey was the name I changed after escaping from the Moon Stone pack six years ago. I changed my surname back to my father's name. I was doing this then just so I could erase any memory of Conan from my life because I was really boiling with vengeance.Of course, I knew I was the one he was looking for, but I did not want to let him know I was the one, as I still had doubts if they were here to seek private treatment or to do something evil to me.The man sighed heavily and scratched his head with a sad expression. I could tell he was really disappointed that he could not get the full info
YVONNE — It was on Tuesday morning when I woke up from sleep. As I had done yesterday, I headed directly into Amanda's room, even without rinsing my face or brushing my teeth. Today was the day when we lied to the kids that Conan, their dad, would arrive in the city. Meanwhile, we had secretly moved out yesterday evening and had managed to bribe a young man who had the same masculinity as Conan to accept wearing a mask of Conan just so we could make the children believe their father had truly arrived in the city. In honesty, it was not an easy search because finding someone with the same body features and skin color as Conan is rare. It really took us a lot of research, both on the internet and on the buzzing streets of New York. Finally, we managed to get this guy, but the money he charged us was something I could not go into detail about. It was extremely huge because it was going to be a long-term contract. He is going to wear the mask for years—he is going to wear it till the
YVONNE — It was already six o'clock in the evening. Everything had happened, and it just went as planned. Honestly, I could not thank Amanda enough for bringing up this idea of cloning Conan. I was in my room doing some research and going through the doctor's guide about the conversation I had with the visitor who visited me yesterday, whom I had promised to be of help to. Further, I had given him a date to visit me with his wife for the treatment to take effect. At first, he insisted and begged me to visit her in their city, promising to board a private jet for me and even provide me with security guards throughout my stay in his city, but I refused. I rejected his offer because I could not repeat a mistake continuously. This was exactly how Conan was begging me then, and when I did, my concern was taken for granted, and I experienced hell from his hand. He even went as far as digging up the paternity of my children. As the man named James Joseph realized that no amount of promi
YVONNE —I had just woken up from sleep, and upon checking the time on my phone, I realized that it was still four o'clock in the morning.I had been awake for almost two hours now, and I could not tell what was really wrong with me. All I could say was that I had been feeling uneasy since I woke up."What are all these?" I wondered. I rose to my feet and went to the restroom to throw out because I had been feeling nauseous.Inside the restroom, just as I bent my head toward the water closet, the content poured out."I know it would result in this. Too much stress I had experienced in Moon Stone Pack," I said, heading to the mini table in my room to get some medication, but a thought came to my mind. "What if this is not really caused by stress but a different case that I'm having?" I wondered.I refrained from taking the medication and decided to run a test on myself first before taking any medication."I just wish the day could get brighter faster just so I could visit a hospital,"
YVONNE — We had just finished eating our breakfast, and I was in my room dressing when Amanda walked in. "I could not remember you telling me you had an appointment today, Yvonne," she remarked. "Not really, dear. It's just that I had been having some unfamiliar feelings since early morning when I woke up, so I chose to visit a hospital and have some tests to find out what the issue is," I replied without even looking at her. I was busy wearing my shoes. "Really?" she said, rolling her lips with two of her fingers. "May I know how you have been feeling? Are you feeling a headache?" She asked me, but I shook my head. "What then?" she went on asking. "Honestly, Amanda I can't tell what it really is," I said, letting out a sigh. "I woke up today earlier than I used to and started feeling nauseated. I had vomited two times already, even before any of you could wake up. It was after I took boiled water that it managed to assuage it," I explained. "Really?" she snorted, her eyes wide
YVONNE — Ten minutes later, he walked out of the laboratory, holding a paper in his hand and his face filled with a smile. "Congratulations, ma'am. You are pregnant," the doctor remarked. "What? Pregnant?" I exclaimed in shock. My face suddenly frowned. "Of course, madam. You should be happy, of course," he replied, looking worried. "Or was it an unexpected pregnancy? Are you done giving birth?" The doctor asked me, trying to figure out what could have made me feel sad upon hearing the news the majority of couples out there are praying to hear. "Uhm, it's okay, doctor. I was actually surprised because, truly, I did not expect it. I'm so happy about this," I remarked, forcing out a smile. I pretended to be happy, but deep down, I was wallowing in thought. Mr. Thomas had been giving me green light that he liked me, but there is no way he is going to accept me with this pregnancy. He will definitely lose all the interest he has in me upon realizing this. "Once again, congrat
CONAN —"How did I end up this way? Was I under a spell or what? How could people always mess up with me and easily go away with it?" I wondered.I let out a sigh and adjusted my position on the bed. I reached out to the light switch and turned it on. Upon glancing at the wall clock, I realized that it was still midnight. It was two o'clock a.m."How do I endure this? How could I tell my mom that Yvonne had escaped from the pack with my babies? How do I tell the pack that my wife, whom I had just wed a few days ago, had run? How do I explain to them that there is no heir to take over from me upon my demise?" All these were the questions going on in my mind.In honesty, I feel like my own is gone. For the past two days, since Yvonne told me the shocking news on a phone call, I have not been my normal self anymore.I had been skipping meals and isolating myself from anyone, including the queen, my mom. However, I had lied to her and told her that Yvonne had spoken with me and told me sh
YVONNE —"This is all because I went to Moon Stone Pack. If not, this would not have happened," I whimpered, tears streaming down from my eyes."It's okay, Yvonne. I keep telling you to stop worrying about this," Amanda stated."I should stop worrying about this? You said I should stop worrying about this, forgetting what it would cost me. You forgot that I and Mr. Thomas had been getting along. How do you think he would feel if he heard about it?" I asked her, sucking a breath."Or should I lie to him and say that I was raped or what? Of course, it would worsen the situation because no sane person would believe that. I would have spoken up the moment it happened, but keeping quiet for a whole month means that I even enjoyed it, so it was a deliberate act," I remarked.She sighed and drew closer to me. "I understand that you are scared that Mr. Thomas might leave you, but you should not conclude yet. He might even be interested in having the child as his own. Don't conclude yet. You s
Two Months Later SOPHIA — I was lying helplessly today on the corner of the gutter when a car ran across me, splashing me with dirty water from the potholes as usual. To my greatest surprise, the car halted and the driver alighted. It was a lady. I thought she was coming to scold me for not avoiding her car at first, but I was shocked to my bone marrow as I noticed it was Yvonne. "Oh my goodness! Sophia, is this you?" she screamed as she noticed I'm the person. She must be really happy. Tears streamed down my cheeks immediately because I concluded that she would make a joke of me, but the reverse was the case. She ran to me and helped me get up. "Yvonne, I'm really sorry for everything I have made you pass through in life," I apologized, crying. "It's okay, Sophia. That is not necessary right now. You need proper medical attention first. That is the most important thing," she said, opening the back door of the car for me to enter. "Get in the car so we can leave for the hospita
YVONNE —Three days later, the DNA result was finally out, and I was really happy about it. This was because it proved positive. Conan is actually the father of the kid—he is the father of all my kids. This means I will be going back to the pack. At least he could see his baby for the first time.Although I had agreed with Mr. Thomas on his request to go back to Conan, but I am still sceptical about it.I was still in my room robbing some body cream and powder on my baby when Amanda walked in."You are still worried about this. I thought he made a promise to you about your career. Didn't he?" Amanda asked me as she walked.It seems she had been eavesdropping from the door for a long time before she walked. Of course, for her to notice I was worried, she must have heard the disturbing murmuring I had been having with myself here for almost thirty minutes."Not really, dear. I was just having a debate over something that had... ""A debate?""Whatever, Amanda. Please just let me be. By
YVONNE —"Alright, Mommy, but remember your promise," Kiara stated, and they started leaving reluctantly.As soon as they left, I let out a deep sigh of relief. I could not believe that I had just managed to avoid the question Kiara asked without them suspecting I did not want to answer the question."By the time you would be back, I believe Amanda would be at home, so she could continue with you guys. It is only if you guys see me by then that you will be requesting an answer concerning Kiara's question," I mumbled.I picked up my phone and dialed Dr. Naty's phone number. I need to call her and inquire about our deal because she has yet to call me.As I dialed the number, the phone rang for a few seconds, and it ended without being picked up by someone."Maybe she is still busy with work in the hospital," I mumbled, dropping my phone.I went to the kitchen to get lunch ready for my kids because I did not know exactly when Amanda would be back for me to depend on her to prepare lunch
YVONNE —One Week LaterI was just returning from the hospital, and the thought of my discussion with Mr. Thomas kept flashing through my mind as I was driving.I could not believe that I had just agreed to his request. Only if he knew that I did that out of pressure."Well, the DNA test will conclude," I muttered.I had managed to reach out to Sophia and requested that she get me Dr. Naty's contact information after she objected to doing the task, saying that she is avoiding Conan because he would kill her upon seeing her. It was then that I told her to get me Dr. Naty's phone number so she could do the job for me.At first, Dr. Naty argued about doing the job, but when I told her the reward for the project, she quickly hopped on it.She told me the job would take her a week because of the procedures she was to follow, so Conan would not suspect anything wrong.However, it has been one week since I gave her the job, so I am waiting for her feedback today."I hope this works out well
YVONNE —But how am I going to do that when none of the two men are with me here in New York City?I thought for some time but could not come up with a valid idea."No. I need to do something fast," I muttered and stood up to leave for my room.As I walked into my room, I remembered that I had spoken with Sophia a few days ago. I recalled how I ended the call with her, promising to call her back only not to call as I said."I think she is the person who can work this out for me since she is in the pack. Yes, she is cunning and could do all sorts of dirty jobs," I mumbled. I picked up my phone to dial her number, and immediately, I realized that she told me she did not have a phone anymore. She only called me that day through a call agent.I decided to secretly get the blood samples of Conan and his hair to do the DNA test in the city without going to the pack just so I could be sure he is truly the father of my baby."So how do I reach this girl, for goodness sake?" I wondered.A few
YVONNE —"Girl, I could not even believe you did this to me in the office," I said to Amanda as I walked out to the sitting room, where she was busy watching movies."I'm really sorry, dear. For real, I can't believe I did that. It was as if a spell was cast on me. I could not even raise my gaze anymore until the moment he asked for my contact," she stated."Oh, you both exchanged phone numbers as well?" I asked, chuckling.I never even knew all that happened in the office. It was the moment I left for my office to get Mr. Thomas what he requested I should get him that they did that. I had thought he really needed those files, unaware that he was just trying to send me out of the office to excuse them just so they could have their moment."Maybe that was the reason you insisted on going with me just so you could perch yourself on him," I remarked, feeling infuriated. How could she do that to me? How could she stoop so low just for a man?
SOPHIA —I could not tell exactly what was wrong with me. The past two days have been hectic for me because I have been sick. I could not afford to go to any medical centre, though, because I had no money with me.The last money I had was the one I used to call Yvonne yesterday, but she refused to speak with me, forcing me to end the call with a promise to call back, but since yesterday until now, she has not called back.I visited the call centre yesterday at exactly five o'clock, which I told her, and I waited till eight o'clock in the evening, yet the call centre agent did not receive a call from Yvonne.I lay on the floor, inside the bush, crying. This was the only place I could stay during the day because there was no shelter I had other than the kiosk where I sleep at night. However, during the day, it is always in service to the owner because that is a coffee shop.Meanwhile, today was the day I had promised both Alpha Conan and the Lycan king to get Yvonne for them. However, I
YVONNE — As we were walking to the elevator, which would take us through the last floor where Mr. Thomas' office is located, my pulse began racing faster. I waved at my colleagues, who were greeting me. Some were excited to see me again after one month of being absent from work. "Dr. Yvonne, welcome back!" one of them remarked, waving her hand at me with her face filled with joy. "Thank you, dear. Unfortunately, I have not resumed work. I still have one more week to go," I replied, walking to her and giving her a warm embrace. She was among the people who made me wish not to ever leave this hospital due to how nice she had been to me. A few minutes later, we managed to walk out of the hall where the staff were, and we headed to the place where the elevators were. "I hope I have the confidence to say what I think is best for me inside his office," I muttered. We entered the elevator, ascending to the last floor. Amanda turned her gaze on me with a smile. "Now I know the reason yo
YVONNE — "Yvonne, are you not yet ready?" Amanda's voice sounded from the sitting room. "A few minutes, please. I'm almost done," I responded, hurrying to apply body cream to my body. Today was finally the long-awaited day on which I had agreed to meet with Mr. Thomas and give him feedback on what I had concluded. However, Amanda had requested to escort me just in case it got to a point where I could not defend my opinion and freely say what I had concluded, then agree to what would not sit well with me out of pressure. A few minutes later, I was finally done dressing. I stared at myself in the wall mirror in my room, and behold, I was satisfied with the way I looked. A smile of satisfaction crept onto my lips. I picked up my baby, carried him in the baby carrier, and walked out of the room, heading to the sitting room to meet Amanda. "How do I look?" I asked her as I walked out. "Absolutely stunning!" she yelled, and I blushed a little. "Well, let's get going. It's al
