In the midst of the busy crowd, passing thru the corridor, waiting for their turn, waiting for the laboratory results, and sitting at the benches, Emilia was there munching on the fruits while waiting for Aiden's return. She glanced at Jacob sitting not far away from her, who's busy with his phone.
"Jacob, was it?"
Surprise with the sudden question, Jacob put down his phone and looked at Emilia.
"Yes, that is right Miss Blanche."
"Tell me. How did he know about me being pregnant and where I lived?"
Jacob didn't know how to answer Emilia, or is he even allowed to answer her.
Sensing his uneasiness, Emilia no longer pushed it through and poured her attention back to eating the remaining fruits.
"By the way, where did you buy this kiwi fruit?"
"oh! I chance upon them on my way here."
"Is that so?"
Emilia wanted to ask a question but Jacob's reticence kept her from doing it. Not long af
Be it in the city or the countryside. The busiest time would be 12 o'clock or 5 o'clock. The roadway will be filled with vehicles as most students and workers would spend their break at home or in a restaurant. There would also be a lot of people walking in the walkways. They would be either going home or finding a place to eat. The seafood restaurant was located in the busiest district in town. It is also the place where countless food stalls or food eatery are located. It is a 2-story building where the VIP rooms are located on the second floor. Being a seafood restaurant, its interior design had an island feel to it. There are dwarf coconut trees lined up on the sides, forming an isle upon entering the building. In the VIP room, the yellowish light lamp was mounted on the wood-colored walls, a soft yet glamorous firm leaves-like design that accentuated the flower-shaped lights chandelier hanging just above the dining table, and the four-foot-high glass wall, Emili
Weeks had passed, Aiden did not miss a single day without visiting Emilia and buying her any foods she wants to eat. Within these days, Emilia was well aware of the effort that Aiden had poured into her, especially the time that he insisted to spend with her. She was also well aware of how busy it is in the company this time of the year, with the countless phone calls he received every single day had proved it. There also times when Aiden would look tired but he would still take good care of Emilia. She felt sorry and had also worried about Aiden's health. If this continues, there would be a possibility that Aiden would collapse, and that what concerned Emilia the most. Emilia wanted to talk to him, but had no guts to say it.Emilia was taking a walk in the front yard, feeling the warm wind passing by and appreciating the beauty of the stars. Hand in her belly,My babies, do you think mommy is being mean to daddy? But mommy is scared. Daddy lives a co

A month had passed after that night, Bea and Riel were acting like normal whenever they happened to pass by each other, in the company ... or so they thought. As such, some of their close coworkers had already started to take notice of some subtle changes in the interaction of Riel and Bea. Only the concerned party is oblivious to the change of their actions. They still had argued a lot every time they cross paths but the feeling one could get from looking at them changed. Also, some of them noticed that Riel was glancing in Bea's direction from time to time. "Hey What do you think is going on with them?" "I don't know either. By the way, is it just me, or Riel's gaze towards Bea are kind of passionate? You know, the type of gaze belonging to someone who's madly in love?" "I know what you mean! Yesterday, Bea and I went to the programming department, I saw Riel looking at Bea, following her
‘Just why did I drink so much? Ahhh… I’m going crazy!’ In her frustration, Bea grabbed her head with both hands and messed up her hair, even pulling some strands of it. As she wanted to feel the pain of her hair being pulled out in the hopes of her waking up from this nightmare that maybe she won't be able to feel the pain at all, everything was just nothing but a nightmare that would disappear once she wakes up. But the painful sensation coming from the roots of her hair scalp was painfully telling her that it was not a dream. It was the reality. ‘AHHH!!! BEA VON EISYL remember! Please remember what happened last night!’ Behind the door, a knock was heard. Bea froze up and was scared to even utter a single word. She pressed her lips together and nervously looking at the door. She dared not to make a single noise and She’s afraid
Aiden was shocked at Emilia's outburst. He doesn't know how and where Emilia got to know these things when he had just been notified by Justin through mail earlier that day. Aiden was aware that such rumors were going about in the company, but he does not know how they got to know that he was getting married. Aiden had the sudden urge to open up his employees' brains to look at what was inside. He was utterly baffled at how they were able to make up such a rumor. Amidst it, there was one thing that made Aiden wondered; why was Diana's name was dragged in it. Diandra Evans Larouche was a distant cousin of Aiden from his mother's side. The girl was 4 years younger than Aiden. They grew up seeing each other at every family reunion. Diandra's parents work for Rachel Wisteria. They asked Aiden for a favor, to protect Diandra as she wants to enter the entertainment industry. Diandra's stage name was Diana. She was now a famous superstar who was widely known in the c
[Oh. Your husband informed me about it earlier. I am planning to send it to your Doctor there.]"Yes? A Doctor, who?"[Ah. Your husband gave me the contact information about your Doctor-to-be in the States. I am calling to inform you about the results that we made earlier. Everything is good. The babies are healthy, and it is safe for you to travel. As for your due date, it's either on the third or last week of June.

So if you need me, you can directly call me. Okay?]Lilianna walked into the house with a parcel in hand. Kevin saw Lilianna and noticed the parce
After settling in Aiden's place, Emilia could not believe that she was now back in the country. She could never imagine being in here, Aiden's place. Emilia never once dared to imagine living on the same roof as Aiden. But here she is, she is now living at his place. Back at the times when Emilia had come to know that she was pregnant. She had prepared herself mentally and emotionally that she could not give her child a happy and complete family. She was scared of letting Aiden know. Emilia doesn't want to hear more degrading and hurtful words from Aiden's mouth. She was scared of the possible rumors. Emilia viewed herself as the land and Aiden as the sky. With all these things that happened, She felt surreal being by his side. Nevertheless, Emilia was happy that she could give her children a complete family. Before she left the house, Emilia sent a message to Luisa. Saying that she was currently in the city. They could me
Like any day, people get excited when their shift ends. Aerys tidied up her area while waiting for the next person assigned for the night shift. "Do you want to come with us to drink, Loren?" Hearing some voices, Aerys looked up and saw Loren and the others coming down. She glanced at the wall clock and saw it was time for her shift to end. 'She's late.' Aerys kept on glancing at the employee's area, hoping that the person to relieve her would be there. It was a company policy for the reception booth to be left unattended. "I'll pass," Loren said with a smiling face. But his eyes hid annoyance. From the first day Loren's co-workers started t
"Thank you for your patronage!" The little bell was attached to the door. It produces a charming sound when the door opens. He let Emilia go out first and followed subsequently. Emilia was smiling widely with a donut in her hand.Darren was pleased to see Emilia smiling and enjoying the food.
It's been four days since the revelation of Aiden and Emilia's relationship. Now that the cat was out of the bag. The employees have now noticed that Aiden's temperament has changed. It is a change that is quite obvious for the naked eye to see. There is no need to observe as it was plain blatant.In the past, The employees shivered in a cold and heavy atmosphere whenever Aiden passes by them. It was a spine-chilling air and hard to breathe, kind of atmosphere.The CEO's office was operating 24/7. Resulting in them always looked like zombies with their bloodshot eyes and worn-out bodies. The secretarial office and the staff directly under the CEO were always complaining. For them to overcome such pressure and to have productive results, and to survive this cruel world. They give themselves words of encouragement to each other within their group chat. As a form of saying, 'You are not alone. We can overcome this and fight together
