"I can tell you are capable of doing so many things," Yohan said. "But I dare to tell you that if my sister comes to me crying because of you," he paused and gave Denny a serious glance. "I will not hesitate to come after you. I am not threatening. I am only stating an unquestionable truth," his tone turned cold. "She is the only family I have, and you might love her your way, and I am grateful for that, but I love her, too."The two seemed to stand on their grounds firmly. They were now standing face to face as Denny extended his right hand in invitation to shake with Yohan. He deliberately stood in front of Aleah's brother to express formality and respect. Not for seniority or superiority, but as a family of the woman he adores beyond words, beyond life, and maybe along with their babies on the way, nothing can ever describe accurately how deeply Denny loves and respect Aleah Silver. It showed in his facial expressions, as well as in his words and actions. Yohan was convinced, alth
Everyone came to pay respects to Elaine, although some of them did not get the chance to see her before that day, they all shared the same heart to comfort Aleah and Yohan. They were not toddlers, but everyone knew that losing someone dearly loved is not easy to cope with, especially when a mother leaves her children behind. Although unavoidable, there is no too young and too old for such an unfortunate event in life.The Silver sibling declared to the closest people in their family that they were not going to discuss the cause of Elaine's death. Everyone knew she had an accident and was in a coma state. So if anyone would ask why she died, Aleah and Yohan would just shake their head and smile sadly. Discussing the matter would keep digging the same pain in their heart that would have started to heal. They already had the person who did all of these to Elaine in police custody. The trial is also being processed. They will get the justice they deserve with or without telling people abo
Aleah was taken aback. She did not expect Chloe Vero to apologize this way. It was too humble. The old lady Vero even said she was silly. Aleah could feel the sincerity of Chloe's apology. So she stated her honest reaction. "Please don't say that. I might have done the same if I were in your place. I believe you only did what was best or what you thought was best for your son. And I respect you both as elders. My mom had always Reminded us how to behave in front of people," Aleah looked at Yohan beside her. She glanced at her brother, taking on his reaction. Yohan nodded his head. Aleaha smiled. Then she looked back at the Vero couple."We can see that," Chloe said. "And I am sure your mom is very proud of both of you," Franco added."But I am sure you would still like me after I tell you something…" Trisha smiled bitterly. She looked up to meet her eyes with Denny. And the latter understood what she was about to say. Denny walked to Aleah's side; next to Yohan, who moved a little t
"Crying them all out really helps," she said, patting Yohan's back gently.Yohan felt even more free to let his emotions out. He started sobbing. Soon after, he was crying like a little boy in his mom's warm embrace, but yet, his sounds of cries were controlled, not wailing like a girl. His eyes were tightly shut as his face was scrunched up. He cried for a few good minutes. But he stopped when he noticed the person in his embrace were shaking and crying heavily with her embrace on Yohan growing tighter. "I know, it's sad. I also want to cry my heart out, but I cannot let my lovely daughter see me devastated about her brother's death," the woman whispered. Yohan froze. "It wasn't her fault, but she might feel like I am blaming her if I cry in front of her, mourning for my only son's death," the lady continued. Yohan realized he was not embracing his mom. He had mistaken someone to be his mom. Then he felt rationality return to him. "She passed away. There is no way I would have be
A few months later…"Honey, would you like to attend the hearing today?" Denny asked Aleah carefully. "You are my doctor, honey," Aleah softly chuckled. "If you are giving me the free pass and go signal, I would love to," she replied gently. "I am a bit worried you might feel any discomfort, but I can prepare everything we might need, just in case anything happens," Denny spoke softly but with certainty. He would order an ambulance to be on stand-by in front of the courthouse if Aleah decided to attend the last hearing for her mom, Elaine's, murder case. Denny pulled every string, phoned every possible connection he had to make the trial done the soonest possible. One reason was that he wanted Aleah and Yohan, and also Elaine, to get the justice they deserve, but most of all, Denny wanted to solve the issue so he could make his next move. He wanted to propose and ask Aleah's hand in marriage, but he was also giving margin to the possible reaction Aleah would have once she found ou
“Yeah, and I just learned he was a distant relative after the accident with mommy Elaine happened,” Denny bowed his head as he spoke. He could not stare back at Aleah’s curious eyes. “But I have known him as my very own brother.”Aleah’s eyes bulged. She could still recall what Denny had told her about his relationship with his siblings. She was even able to compare and be more grateful that she and Yohan were doing well in their family. “Wha- what?” Aleah exclaimed. “How…?” she asked thoughtlessly. Aleah was shocked. What a small world.“It turned out my mom and dad adopted Desmund and Denisse when their parents died in a car accident. Their dad was a distant cousin of my dad. And during that time, Mom and dad could not have a child of their own, although they kept trying even when they already had Desmund and Denisse, and then I was born,” Denny explained cautiously. He was speaking slowly to entertain any question Aleah might have in her mind as his confessions continued.“They we
As Aleah requested and without fear for Denny to grant them, they got dressed up with the doting Denny assisting his heart's wife; since they weren't legally married yet, in every step of getting her nicely yet comfortably clothed. "We should shop for new sizes of your underwear, honey," Denny gently suggested. "I am worried you might feel discomfort with the ones you used to wear and in your closet right now," he explained eagerly. He knew that pregnant women could be very sensitive, so he tried his best to clear any misinterpretations of his words. Angela excitedly bought Aleah different designs of pregnant dresses and others obviously needed by an expecting woman, but as she had not had the experience to reach pregnancy into a stage where her belly would swell up, Angela did not realize to include underwear in her shopping list. I have been meaning to do so, but as I was not allowed to go out without company aside from the nurse, I was just waiting when we could visit the shoppi
"Ahmmm, let's get you inside and have a seat first," Denny guided Aleah to sit comfortably on the couch as soon as they arrived inside his house.Aleah smiled as she let Denny lead her way. She felt so pampered with how this man was so attentive and caring for her well-being."Honey, don't be too sweet. You're making me feel horny," Aleah whined. Unlike other pregnant women, her first sign of pregnancy isn't morning sickness. It was the increase in sex drive! It was because of increased vaginal lubrication and a hypersensitive clitoris due to extra genital blood flow. She had been too worried about indulging because she had a bleeding experience. Her Ob-gyne had explained to her that as long as they did not do rough sexual intercourse, she was safe to engage. Still, her fear of causing chaos to the twin babies inside her had always won over her, restraining Aleah from getting sexually active. They do indulge in oral sex. She tried to relieve Denny of his morning woods by giving him h
