Just as Jonah had predicted, Jack and I returned to normal a few days after that incident. Jack has become less irritable these days too, which makes it much easier for us to have normal conversations. We carried on with our lives as if nothing had happened, just my son and I.As a matter of fact, things improved dramatically after that. It was because of this that I began to consider the possibility that Jonah was correct, and that Jack merely required a moment to let off some steam. Thankfully, that incident never happened again.I am relieved that things have returned to normal for us. It was as if we had never stopped being mother and son; in fact, our communication brought us closer together. We didn't talk about the incident again after that either. It felt as if it happened a long time ago, and it should be treated as such.As what people say, one can only think of it as a memory from the past; it is something that neither one of us needs to think about or remember.But then so
I hurried home to prepare dinner. While busily preparing, I felt that odd dizziness again. I didn't waste any time and went straight to the restroom. When I thought about that pregnancy test kit that I had purchased earlier, my heart almost stopped beating.I inhaled a long, slow breath. I can't avoid doing this. I really need to find out whether or not I am pregnant.I took a deep breath and forced myself to face my fears. When I looked at the kit and saw that there were now two lines on it, it was as if ice-cold water had been poured over me. My heart was racing so hard that I had to take another test kit to make sure the result was accurate.Then I froze in place.Nothing has changed. I repeated the process with different test kits, but the results remained the same.I'm... pregnant.And I can't possibly be wrong. Jack was the only person I'd done that with in the last month. This is when it dawned on me that we didn't use any protection. Additionally, he released inside me numerou
"Mr. Ryan Gonzales?" I was surprised when I saw my client then. It turns out to have been Ryan, the same guy Jack and I talked to once while we were on vacation right after he graduated from university. "Marianne?" The moment he laid eyes on me, he, too, was taken aback, and he started to laugh. "You-You're my date?"We couldn't help but laugh at the way things were set up. The world is indeed very small. Who would have thought that the person I was set up on a blind date with would turn out to be one of my clients?As we sat down to dinner, Ryan commented, "I thought you're married.""Legally separated but currently living with my son," I explained, as Ryan simply smiled and nodded his head in response to what I said.I never thought I'd see Ryan again. My last encounter with him was at the signing of a lease agreement for the condominium unit that he is going to be renting out. It was a few days after Jack and I had returned from our vacation at the resort. The number of days is al
To my shock and dismay, I discovered myself lying naked on a bed in a hotel room. My head started to throb as though it was being hammered repeatedly, and I had the sensation that lightning was trying to enter my brain. I thought I was going to pass out and die. Slowly, I realized that I wasn't the only one in the room. "Hey, are you okay?" As soon as I turned around, I saw Ryan standing there. Suddenly, I realized what was going on. While he was fully clothed from head to toe, I was currently naked. I quickly pulled the blanket, then wrapped it all the way around my body. "Nothing happened, Marianne. When you first woke up, you fell and puked on your dress, so I took it off you to clean you up a bit. Umm, even your undergarments...." Ryan explained while holding back a blush. I wouldn't call myself a particularly conservative person. I recall that I was only wearing a one-piece dress, and I found that it could be challenging if I did not control the amount of alcohol I consumed.
Almost instantly, the light stroking intensified into a more aggressive and forceful rub. Slowly, I began to feel the hardness and massive size of his thing that had touched me at my entrance. Even before it entered, I could feel the incredible heat and pleasurable sensation it was giving to my body.I was unable to maintain control of myself, and my hand dropped, causing me to personally place Jack's weapon inside of my cave. Its head went in with a wet and delicate movement, causing both of us to groan out in ecstasy as the sensation spread throughout our bodies. Jack's eyes were filled with a raging fire, and I could both feel and see it. Once again, our lips touched as he slowly slid his manhood inside me.Our tongues played and battled, a loud growl and moan could be heard in the kitchen as we continued to kiss and savor each other's warmth and heat. After we reached our much-awaited release together, we walked straight to the sofa, where he proceeded to rub me and then attack me
"Aki," I called out to him."Why are you meeting with him, mom?" Jack asked me with a deep, grave tone in his voice.Meeting with whom? Was he talking about Benjie?"Aki, please allow me to explain first," I said, attempting to calm him down."No, mom. I thought you didn't talk to each other at all? You said so yourself the last time, so why are you here with him?" Jack argued back. He appeared to have the intent to murder Benjie at any moment, judging by the way he gazed at him.Even before I could utter a word, another man suddenly appeared who I instantly recognized as someone who would make the situation even more complicated."Aki? My son... Is it really you?"Jack and I both looked at the other person exactly at the same time. It was as if I had been transported back to that point in the past, where the only thing I could do was watch him walk away and never look back at us again, no matter how many times I begged him to stay. Yes, he was exactly that person: Jack's father and m
From then on, Jack and I had a wonderful mutual understanding. With a greater bond than ever before, we went about our daily routines as usual. I was also able to explain to him what was going on with his father's side of the family and why I was there to help them in the first place. I called it understanding, but it was more like coaxing him into it. Jack stated that he had no objections to anything that I did so long as I did not meet Benjie or Jay or any other guy by myself."I just don't get it. I mean, Benjie is actually a nice person, and in the past, they were also pretty close and bonded together. So what is it about him that makes Aki so angry?" I told Jonah while sipping coconut juice.We had just arrived at the beach resort that we had booked a few hours' drive away from our city. I brought Jack with me, while Jonah brought both of her sons, Gio and Kyle, with her. Kyle was thirteen years old while Gio was nineteen. It had been quite some time since their father and Jonah
"Of course. I'm okay. Come on, let's head back. Jonah and the rest must be looking for us," I said as I began to pull Jack's arm while trying to hide the worries in my eyes. But as I had expected, Jack didn't budge."Tell me the truth," he urged suddenly, his voice graver than it had been the last time he used it.I swallowed down hard as I forced myself to fight back the panic that was rising inside of me. "Aki-""Are you seeing Uncle Benjie again? Is that it?" Jack asked out of the blue, which took me by surprise.“Huh?” I turned to look at him. What was he saying? Benjie? How did Benjie end up in the middle of this conversation?"When are you going to realize, Mom? Uncle Benjie likes you, it’s the reason why he doesn’t call you or think of you as an elder sister-in-law despite the fact that you are older than him," Jack expressed while controlling his anger in his voice. "Don’t talk to him from now on. You've given enough help to their family. You are done helping them.""What are
Everything in the world changes. No matter how much you love something and want it to stay, a day will come when it will disappear and you will lose it. Sometimes it is changed, sometimes it is forgotten, but often, it leaves you forever. Like it has to. But in the midst of a very vague world full of changes and endings, there is only one thing I can be sure of, something that always remained. That is a real, passionate, complete love. A love that no matter what one, two, or many people do―will never be destroyed. Because even if you lose this person, even if everything changes for you, you will still love him. Your heart will still beat for him, call him as your heart has always done before, every single day. Even if it's just secretly, even if it's just from the distance, whether you like it or not, if your love is true, your heart will continue to beat for that person. You won’t be able to stop it even for a second. In my entire life, I never thought I would love a man s
"Bes, are you ready?" I asked my best friend Crista.She sat in front of the mirror and fixed her hair. She smiled and faced me, “I am."I smiled back and couldn't help but sigh. Today is the day Troy will introduce Crista to her parents. Troy's family is quite wealthy and as far as I know, Troy's father is running for governor.It has been a year since Crista was released from prison. During those times, Crista's parents took care of Yohan because they didn't want to give him to Troy without Crista. Thanks to the help of Crista and Troy's parents, Crista was released early.I can't help but feel a strange emotion every time I remember what happened before. I feel like my conscience will swallow me every time I think about my past sins. Even my best friend was destroyed because of me.Now Crista's life is changing and I am very happy with what I see."It took you a long time," Troy said when he met Crista and me outside.Crista just smiled and then approached Troy to hold him by the a
A woman was calling me, her soft voice alluring just like her touches were. I felt with every caress of it the intense love that seemed to never fade coming from her. Chasing my breath, I kissed her while applying our lips. The strands of her long hair were left by the rays coming from the round moon from the window. I couldn’t help but pull her even further towards me, kissing me with full joy and excitement.With this woman, my heart is full and overjoyed.I hastened even more in apprehension and excitement to touch her. It felt as though my heart would explode every time she calls my name. Her hands were warm, soft, yet hot all at the same time while grasping at my back. I groaned, reaching my climax as I held her closer. In those moments, I just wanted to feel her whole and I couldn’t understand but gradually felt anxiety in my chest."Troy."I frowned when I heard another woman's voice."Troy, wake up. You're dreaming again..."I slowly opened my eyes. Almost immediately, an un
"I thought you were tired," I told him between moans as he rubbed his erection against my entrance. He bit his lower lip before emitting a groan and coming closer to kiss me on the lips again. “If it’s you, I don’t get tired,” he said before forcing me to open my mouth so his tongue would come in, tasting and devouring all the parts he could reach.Panting, he lifted my thigh up and pushed in. I moaned, feeling Jack’s cock twitching and growing even faster and sinking into me. I clung to his shoulder, becoming a trembling mess for the thousandth time. Soon, Jack picked me up and carried me to the bedroom. Amy was in the other room and was already asleep. "She won’t hear us," Jack reminded me and even told me to just moan if I wanted to.Muddle-headed, I rubbed Jack’s neck and gasped as he suddenly put me on top of him, my entrance enveloping his erection as I sat down. I shuddered a breath as I felt its enormous tip begin to penetrate, its hardness raw and burning as my hips moved
The next day, Jack was finally discharged and we headed home to the condo where Jonah, Gio, and of course, my very cute daughter Amy were waiting. As soon as I saw her, I quickly picked her up and hugged her tightly. I missed my daughter so much and I also felt that she missed me as the entire afternoon that day, she slept on my shoulder and cried whenever I would try to place her back in her crib. "Mars, how about you put Amy down first?” Jonah suggested while drinking coffee.Jack had excused himself earlier, telling all of us that he needed to do something quickly in the office. I told him he needed to take things slow first as he had only been discharged from the hospital but he just wouldn’t budge, saying it had something to do with his boss and his position too. Worried he might lose his job, I let him go but only with the condition that he would be home immediately. Because of that, I was left here with Amy, Jonah, and Gio. "Shh," I replied to Jonah.She took a sip from her
Jack and I couldn’t hide the truth anymore. We had already kept our relationship for too long and in the process, I failed to think about other people’s true feelings about it. Just like Jonah, with whom I should have been honest from the start. Jack was right when he said sooner or later, the people who knew us would know. It was just a matter of time. “There’s no rush. When it comes to these things, don’t think too much,” Jack told me while holding my hand. We were lying side by side on the hospital bed. According to the doctor, he still needed to stay for a few more days to fully recover. Just a few more check-ups and if they had good results, he could go home anytime then. I let out a sigh and glanced at our intertwined hands. When he said he didn’t want to let go of my hand earlier, I didn’t know it would be for this long. I smiled at the thought.Jack… He loves me a lot and I feel the same way about him. But, how far will this love take us?Before I could think any deeper, Ja
In a slow and weak voice and with a smile, he uttered, “... Mom… am I dreaming?"I shook my head and wiped the tears from my cheeks. "No. You're okay, Aki. You're not dreaming. You’re safe now, and alive… You’re alive, baby.."I grabbed his hand and squeezed it before I promptly turned around and said, "I'll just call the nurse."Before I could entirely break down and cry myself in front of Jack, I hurriedly went out and called the doctor and nurse.They both came quickly and did a check-up on Jack. It went faster than I thought, or perhaps I was too focused on Jack, seeing him well, and finally opened his eyes that I could barely put my attention on anyone else. After a few minutes, the doctor gave me a few instructions before they finally told Jack to stay and get well, and finally left. After discovering what happened to Jack and me, the local high officials gave us a private room. It wasn’t exactly as grand as most of the private hospitals had but it was neat and decent enough fo
Holding Jack's hand, I heard the speed of my heartbeat while in the ambulance. Just when we were about to lose hope, Jonah came with the police. Even Bon and Norman came back and helped us. Jack continued to be unconscious and was lying in front of me, some medical personnel on the side to continue supporting him and pressing to stop his bleeding. I couldn’t even feel my own body anymore. I was just looking at him, praying and praying he won’t slip away… He had lost too much blood… I tightened the grip on his hand, my own stomach feeling as though it was being twisted in excruciating tight knots. My head was spinning but I held in, my trembling fingers continued to hold onto his hand. My Jack’s hand. Time went on like years while Jack and I were in that ambulance. It was probably the longest trip I had ever been on but also the one I was too afraid to end. As soon as we reached the hospital, the medical staff told me to prepare for the worst.Because Jack’s heartbeats were faint.
"No…No… The tribe!" Mom exclaimed with a loud gasp as she moved and was about to run back to the village when I caught her hand in time. “Mom!” I held her. “Aki, t-they’re in danger…!” She exclaimed, her eyes round and full of worry. “They need our help, Aki!”I tightened my grip on her and pulled her to my side. Then I turned to Bon and Norman, waiting for them to speak. Even they were too shocked and seemingly unable to think what to do next. I looked up again, thinking… Then I stopped, finally realizing what it could be. Sh*t… Crista… Her men were the cause of this, weren’t they?!I gritted my teeth, the anger spreading throughout my chest. I turned to Bon and told him, “Head back to the tribe.”Bon seemed to snap back from his shock. He looked at me, clenching his hands into fists as he suppressed his emotions. “No… We can’t. Nana’s order was for us to take you two to the nearest town.” "Aki! We need to go back!" mom almost cried when she said that.I tried to think of the situ
