Cosette’s POV

"You're telling me that you're going back to Los Angeles and you're taking Johiel with you? No!" Franklyn said, standing in front of me with a furrowed brow.

I frowned at Franklyn's words. He and Iris came to my house for a visit and they're going to stay here overnight. Franklyn has a conference meeting nearby, so they decided to stay at my place instead of renting a hotel.

"Love, Cosette needs to go back to Los Angeles because that's where she's assigned for work," Iris said before I could speak.

I glanced at her and she winked at me. Iris is six months pregnant with their first baby, and her belly is already quite large.

Franklyn took a deep breath and calmed himself before speaking again, as Iris is sensitive right now and he didn't want to raise his voice in front of her.

"I understand that, Love, but what if Zion finds out the truth? He'll take Johiel from Cosette! We know what kind of man he is, he has no mercy," Franklyn said.

Fortunately, Johiel is asleep now be

    Cosette’s POVMama was very happy when I told her that Johiel and I are going home to Los Angeles. She mentioned again about our old house, which is now under Yohan's name. I didn't have any plans to visit Yohan and negotiate to have our house back and rename it to Allen again. But just to calm my mother down, I told her that I would try, though I wasn't sure, she's just so persistent."Mommy Cosette, when we're in Los Angeles, are we going to visit Otto?" Johiel asked me.We're on the plane now, and on the other side of our seats are the couple Iris and Franklyn. They're both asleep, so Johiel and I are talking quietly to avoid waking them up.I ran my fingers through Johiel's hair and smiled at him before answering his question."Let's rest first, Pretty boy, then tomorrow we'll visit your cousins and Aunt Geneva, okay?"He nodded and leaned on me. "Mommy, I'll sleep," he said softly, closing his eyes. I let him sleep while he leaned against my chest. I also closed my eyes as I gent

    Cosette’s POV"We need to go shopping, Setta! Right, Johiel?" Franklyn said with a smile as he also asked my son."Yes, Papa Franklyn!" Johiel replied enthusiastically, jumping up and down.I sighed and looked at Iris, silently asking for her help. She sniffed and spoke to her husband."Love, you don't need to take Johiel with you. He can stay here with me at home," Iris said softly to Franklyn as she sat on the couch, gently caressing her big belly.Franklyn grinned sheepishly and couldn't utter a word."Mama Iris! I want to go to the mall!" Johiel said tearfully as he approached his Mama Iris and held her hand.Iris glanced at me, as if asking me what she should say or do. I rubbed my forehead and took a deep breath while looking at Johiel, who was now approaching me and hugging my waist, looking up at me. "Mommy, can we go to the mall, please?" Johiel said, trying to be cute."Just let him go, Setta!" I heard Franklyn say, so I glanced at him and gave him a stern look. He just gri

    Yohan's POV"Aunt Lenore, where are you? I'm already here inside the mall, and I can't find you. I still have a meeting to attend.""Son, didn't I tell you I'm in the salon area? Near the food court. I'm still relaxing here and chatting with my friend. I just have something to give you, and you can go to your meeting. You'll see me right away because there are only two customers in the salon since I rented it for me and my friend."I sighed and ended the call between Aunt Lenore and me. I started walking towards the food court area she mentioned. It took me a while to walk because there were too many people in the mall today, and an old person was walking in front of me. I couldn't overtake them because the people were packed tightly on the first floor of the mall. Why are there so many people here? Is this how it is inside a mall? I never go to these kinds of places because I don't need anything here.Why did Aunt Lenore choose to have her hair done at the mall? We have salons in our

    Cosette’s POVFuck! It's Yohan! What should I do? I can't just approach them with Johiel and tell them he's my son. I'm not ready to face Yohan!"C-Cosette, nobody has seen Johiel. What should we do? Should we call the police?" I felt Franklyn approaching me.I took a deep breath and faced him. The extreme worry was evident on his face because if Johiel were truly lost, he would be blamed since he was the last one with my son."Look behind me," I said seriously while looking at him.He furrowed his brow and followed my instruction. The twinkle in Franklyn's eyes gradually widened as he realized what he was seeing. I also noticed the slight paleness in his face. Franklyn turned to look at me in silence, his face still showing surprise."C-Cosette, wh-why... why is Zion with Johiel?" Franklyn asked, surprised and stuttering.I glanced back at Johiel and Yohan and saw Yohan talking to my son. Johiel was just staring at him while licking his ice cream. I took a deep breath and turned back

    Cosette’s POV"MA! Why did you call Yohan? Can’t you wait for me to be the one to talk to Yohan, and now you’re taking the lead on what I’m supposed to do? My God, Ma! I'm sorry if I'll hurt you with what I'll say, but you're going too far! I'm getting annoyed! You always beat me to it! Don't you think?!" I angrily said while talking to Mama on the phone.I found out that my mother was the reason why Yohan called me earlier. After he called me, Mama immediately called me and happily told me that she had talked to Yohan and that I should just meet him tomorrow to discuss the property matters at the house.I couldn't help but get very angry with her because she was rushing things. She knew that I was hiding Johiel and protecting my child's identity, and then she suddenly contacts my ex-husband out of nowhere? It's infuriating!“S-Setta, I know what I did was wrong, so I'm asking for your forgiveness right away, okay?" she said tearfully on the other end.I sighed and cursed in my mind.

    Cosette’s POV"It's nice to see you again, my little kitten." I couldn't help but roll my eyes when he called me 'little kitten' again. Was he ever going to stop giving me nicknames? He kept calling me all sorts of things, even if they made no sense. Next thing I know, he'll start calling me names of dogs or some other kind of animal out of nowhere.I just walked into his office and made my way to the chair near his table, sitting down facing him. My expression was serious as I looked at Yohan, who was still smiling at me."Okay, let's talk about the house, Yohan. I know you have an idea why I'm here today, that's why you called me yesterday, right? We want it back, my mom and I want it back," I said seriously, still looking at him.Yohan and I locked eyes for a few seconds, neither of us wanting to look away. After a minute, he broke the stare and chuckled softly. I couldn't help but furrow my brow as I looked at him. What was so funny? Has this guy gone crazy?"Straight to the poin

Do you have an admirer here in LA?" Franklyn asked me again.I quickly took out my cellphone from my pocket when it rang again. My eyebrows furrowed when I saw his name on the screen.

Couldn't we just meet in the lobby of the Warren Hotel, or maybe in the restaurant? I felt a bit nervous."Ma'am, this way please."A staff member escorted me to where Yohan was waiting for me.

    Cosette’s POV"Yohan, what are you doing! You're drunk!" I said to Yohan and pushed him away, but he just clung to me tighter.He looked up at me again and raised an eyebrow. He caressed my cheek and grinned."I'm not drunk, Cosette, just a little buzzed. I know what I'm doing right now, and I'm claiming what is mine.""W-What—"Yohan kissed me again on the lips, this time with a hint of urgency. He deepened the kiss, and I found myself holding onto his hair and kissing him back. I slightly parted my lips, and he immediately slipped his tongue inside, teasing mine. I gasped as I felt Yohan's hand travel to my waist and slip inside my shirt.

    Cosette’s POV"Is my car still not fixed, Herbert? It's still relatively new, I just bought it. It's strange that it's breaking down so soon, especially since it's not a second-hand car," I said to him.He volunteered to have my car fixed, and it's been about four days now, but my car still isn't fixed. I feel sorry for my son, who always has to take a bus to school, and sometimes I have to book a cab for them so that his nanny doesn't have a hard time. If it still isn't fixed soon, I might just buy a new car and choose the newest and brand-new one."Do you really need a car, Cosette? I can buy you one," Herbert said."Oh my god. Stop it, Herbert! I can't let you do that again, especially with expensive things

    Cosette’s POV"Herbert, you don't need to do this always, okay?" I said to him as I got out of his car. He escorted me home because my car broke down, and it's difficult to find transportation.I'm embarrassed with Herbert because ever since he found out that my car broke down, he's been picking me up and dropping me off all the time, and it's embarrassing because he's the son of my boss. He's the one who helped me find where to fix my car, and until now it hasn't been returned. Since I found out that he's the son of Mr. Ronan Calloway, I've been formal with him, and he doesn't like it."Cosette, you're the only one I know in the company, and we're friends, right?" Herbert said with a smile.I smiled slightly

After my conversation with Yohan last night, I also sent him away from our apartment because Johiel and his nanny needed to return. Yohan didn't want to leave yet, insisting that I tell him that Johiel is his son, but no matter what he does, he can't make me admit it."He's just an old friend, Pretty boy," I told him with a smile.Johiel frowned even more as he continued to look at me. "Your old friend, but you didn't tell me!"I paused in feeding him and narrowed my eyes at Johiel. "Why do you seem upset

She quickly approached us with a cloth in hand."Yes, Ma'am Cosette?"I handed her the food I brought for Johiel."Could you take Johiel out for a while? Take him to the park first. There are a lot of people there now, and there's some show happening. Take Johiel there and bring these snacks I bought for him," I instructed Johiel's nanny.She quickly nodded in agreement. "Yes, Ma'am."I walked over to Johiel and smiled at him."Pretty boy, go with Nanny Jun for now, okay? Take a walk outside, there's something important I need to discuss with Mr. CEO," I said affectionately.Johiel nodded, still looking serious as he gazed at me. "Okay, Mommy Cosette."Johiel went with his nanny. They left through the door, and I watched their departure before closing the door and facing Yohan. He looked at me seriously, and I could feel the anger in his reaction now. I felt extremely nervous again seeing his sharp gaze on me."He's your son?"I swallo

Watch, later she'll have written a whole story and suddenly it'll be published as a book!"I took a deep breath and silently pulled at myself. It's Saturday today, so I don't have work, and it's been four days since I last talked to Yohan. Our house is back with us, and it's now under Mama's name.
