CHAPTER NINETY EIGHT
Althea's eyes were wide as saucers and she stared at Tyler in shock. He has his eyes closed, not caring about anything but the attack he was making.
His kisses were rough and forward. She can feel him gnawing on her lower lip like it was the sweetest candies he ever had. Since her mouth was parted, his tongue slid in shamelessly.
It touched her tongue, then searched her whole mouth like a thief searching a house. It was thorough, he wasn't letting a spot untouch.
Her ears started to heat up. Her tongue was slowly following his lead. He noticed it too as he leaned in to make the kiss deeper. His hand slid down to her hip and gently caressed her side. The hand on the back of her head also slid down to her neck before it tapped it slowly.
It feels like he was beckoning and seducing a swan from a lake to get into the land.

CHAPTER NINETY EIGHT (TWO)"Kai-wait! "Althea yelled for the ninth time this day. "Stop running away! Where are you going?! And stop throwing stuff-"She dodge just in time the other vase that Kai pulled down from a table and let it crash loudly on the floor.She had to be careful not to wound herself from the flying fragments of the broken vase, so the gap between the two widened even more. It made her click her tongue. Although her son is smaller than her and has shorter legs, he was able to increase the distance so she could not catch up to him.She can't remember teaching something like this to Kai- no sane mother will teach their 5 years old kid about something as dangerous like this. That is pure stupidity!If it's not her, it is more unlikely not his father, Augustine, because that bastard can't even make time to talk face-to-face with his
CHAPTER NINETY NINEKai was born on a stormy day. Althea was very anxious at that time, especially since it was her first time giving birth, also, the kid was a product of one night stand.Aside from being anxious, she was being eaten by guilt too.Since she got pregnant after having sexs with the husband of an old friend.No words can describe how devastated she was when one day she just began vomiting and showing signs of early pregnancy.No words can describe how she felt while waiting in the bathroom with the pregnancy test kit in her hand.And no words can describe her feeling when finally, two red lines appeared.The lines were too much for her, she remembered breaking down there and there when she saw it. She was in a public restroom, but she sobbed loudly that it was heard from outside of the restroom.&nb
CHAPTER NINETY NINE PART TWO"..." Althea opened her mouth and tried to speak but a lump on her throat was stopping her.She was frozen solid at his words. It struck her speechless and she could feel herself standing on the edge of a steep cliff.She can feel the rushing waves coming crashing and slamming itself to the stonny cliff. The cold breeze was like the hands of death touching her skin."Mom?" Kai must have sensed it. He touched the cold face of his mother before stroking it as if he was trying to comfort her. "I'm sorry. I know why you did that- Charlotte explained it to me that you were trying to-""No. You're right." Althea cut him off from his stuttering. "No matter what excuses I have- I still abandoned you."Kai opened his mouth to speak but himother cut in."But what happened in the past won't happen again this time -
CHAPTER ONE HUNDREDThe morning was cold, the soul, grasses and the leaves outside were moist from the morning mist. The sun was slightly peeking from the east and its light was just barely touching the ground.Althea went out to the balcony with a thick blanket dumped on her shoulders. She was still in her pajamas and her comfy fluffy indoor slippers.Since it was freezing outside- it was 5 in the morning- she had a piping cup of coffee in one hand, while the other had her phone.She leaned on the nearest wall then dialed a number.As the phone rings, she takes a sip of the hot coffee and made her mind wander back a bit about what happened yesterday.-After what happened that morning, Kai was the first one who fell asleep. He was sleeping on top of Tyler with the most comfortable position. Tyler was slowly stroking his
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED (PART TWO)Althea tried to change the subject after hearing what she wanted to know, but she should have known that no matter how she tries bending and changing the subject, she would somehow know how to get it back.She's persistent, even when she's still a kid chasing for her husband.She's a handful.She ended up telling her about everything that happened for the past months down to the slightest details. Charlotte interrupted her here and there but she managed to get the whole story through without hanging up on her.She should get used to this kind of attitude. No, she must have already gotten used to this kind of attitude after years of bein
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED ONE==They were in the middle of unpacking their luggage and the things from the boxes when Tyler came. He came in with his suitcase and his disheveled face. The eyebags on his eyes clearly indicated that he had sleepless nights. His hair was in disarray like he was running around the whole day.Well, he did run just to decrease the time of going here.When he reached the doors of the house, his eyes immediately went to work and searched for the faces that he hasn’t seen for days. Meters away from him, near the staircase, across the piles of boxes, he saw her. She had her hair up in a messy bun and stray strands of hair was on her forehead and the back of her neck.She was sweating and was carrying a small box on her hand. It seems like she still helped them unpack even after telling her not to because they can all do it alone. She has a sma
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED ONE (PART TWO)==The new house was bigger than his previous house, the layout is different too and so is the design. It was obviously new painted and some of the furniture just arrived earlier. But even though new, the kitchen was already stuffed with foods and drinks. Knowing this, both headed there as Tyler still look tired.She told him to sit down while she prepares coffee and his food. He tried to tell her that it wasn’t necessary, but she insisted. He had no heart to tell her he already ate and waited patiently. Tyler obediently sat down and removed his coat then made it hang on the backrest of his chair then watched her maneuver the kitchen. When she was done preparing and sliding the food and the cup of coffee to him, she sat down directly across him.“So, what are we?”Tyler almost spit out the coffee he was drinking aft
==CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED TWO==Plop, plop, plop.Althea looked outside the window as the plopping sound of the falling drops of the rain slaps on it. It was tidbits at first, slow and small amount of water, until the sounds of falling and plopping become denser and packed.It was pouring. The sky was dark as the black, thick clouds were covering the moon. All the streetlights were foggy and barely lighting because of the heavy rain. The downpour was sudden, as it was; many people started rushing to seek shelters in the nearby sheds or just simply run to get into their respective households.“Althea? What are you doing there? It’s cold!”Althea turned towards the voice and saw her mother walking towards her with a worried expression. She had a thick blanket hanging on her shoulder. On her hands were two steaming cups of, she think
