2021-02-16 21:02:05Mr. Smith walked into the dining room in his pajamas. He then gazed at his wife and his father-in-law seated at the table before realizing that something was owed.
“Where is Carmen?” Roman asked.
Mr. Wilson gently laid down his newspaper and focused his attention on his son-in-law. Then he let out a sigh.
“What is it?” Roman asked, feeling a bit worried now.
“She left early this morning for work.” Mr. Wilson mumbled.
His words felt a bit strange to him since he was still in shock about Carmen’s behavior.
“Do you think we push her too much? I mean, she missed breakfast, and these are all her favorite dishes.” Mr. Smith mumbled as he took a seat.
“Let's hope that she doesn't lose herself in all of this mess.” Mrs. Smith angrily said.
She stood up to serve her husband tea and when their eyes met, she could see a bit of concern and remorse in his.

Terry came back into Carmen's office an hour later, carrying so many papers in his hands that Carmen found it difficult to see his head.“These are what you requested,” Terry said as he gently rested the folders on the desk.Carmen leaned in her seat while staring at the papers in shock.‘Dad must be insane. He knew about the Davis family deception and yet he was still willingly funding them?’ Carmen thought in dismay.Terry remained silent as he watched her wonder in her thoughts. But after three minutes had passed without Carmen recognizing his presence, he knew that he had to say something.“Do you need anything else, boss?” Terry asked.Carmen abandoned her thoughts and gaze at him without displaying any expression on her face. Then she reached out for one of the documents, briefly read through it, and shut it close before staring back at Terry.“Head over to the project management office and tell the manager for that department to termi

“According to Rome Sherman, a reliable freelance writer, Mr. Davis, and Mrs. Smith are no longer husband and wife. In the article he released a few seconds ago, he stated that the two willingly decided to end their marriage and the papers were finalized earlier this morning.” A news lady announced on the television.“Mr. Sherman didn't state the reason why Mr. Davis and Mrs. Smith decided to untie the knob, and now it's the question that everyone is asking at this moment. Why did Liam Davis and Carmen Smith decide to call it quits?” A newsman continued.Carmen stared at her watch before her cold gaze fixed on the TV. She listened to the reporter for a moment, then her sight shifted away from the television and focused on her desk.“He must be devastated right now,” Carmen mumbled with a bit of pity in her tone as she stared at Liam's name flashing on her phone screen.She then ignored the call and placed her attention back on the work she was doing on h

As the moon overshadowed the darkness of the night, and the gentle air blew against Liam's hair causing it to dance with the wind, he softly licked his bottom lip because of the nervousness he felt as his eyes centered on Carmen's doubtful gaze.She had waited for almost three minutes to get a response from Liam, but when she didn't get one, she felt numb.“It's not important,” Liam mumbled as he broke eye contact with her.“Fine! You don't have to answer. You and I are divorced now, and what happens to you doesn't concern me.” Carmen harshly stated.When Liam said no word, she gazed away from him and turned towards her car.‘It shouldn't hurt this much.’ Carmen thought as she got into the vehicle before slamming the door shut.For a second Carmen eyed Liam, and even though he didn't look her way, the tension from her stare weighed on his heart.“Drive,” Carmen mumbled.The night felt cold and lonesome when the vehicle drove past

The next morning the dinner table was quite peaceful as everyone focused on their breakfast.Carmen took a bite into her beacon before dropping the rest on the plate. Then she gazed up at her parents' faces.“What is it?” Mr. Smith asked when he noticed his daughter staring at him.“I am moving out,” Carmen mumbled.Mrs. Smith immediately started aggressively coughing after choking on the water that she was drinking.“Mother!” Carmen cried.“I am fine.” Mrs. Smith mumbled while gently patting her chest.Mr. Wilson's eyes appeared sad when he looked at his granddaughter, but she already had her mind made up. And even though she felt some pity towards her grandfather, she wasn't planning on changing her plans.“Why, kiddo? This house is yours as much as it's ours.” Mr. Wilson pitifully said.“I know, grandi. But I want to start fresh and feel a bit of independence while doing so.” Carmen softly said.Mr. Wilson gazed at

The moment the first light of dawn colored the sky with a bleak golden glow, Terry was driving Carmen to work.He had the car at full speed because there weren't many vehicles on the road at such an early hour, where the darkness was just giving chance to the light.Subconsciously, he kept eyeing Carmen through the V-mirror while wondering why she had him driving her to the office this early. But he couldn't come up with a reason, so he let go of his thoughts and concentrated on the road.Carmen had noticed his stares, but she didn't pay it no mind. Instead, she laid her head against the window glass as she appreciated the breathtaking beauty of the sky.However, she found it hard to do because sleep kept bugging her, and she could barely keep her eyes open. At that moment, Carmen regretted staying up late, thinking about whether she should move to another house and getting up early to avoid seeing Dax.After a sixteen minutes drive, they finally

Carmen lost focus when she heard her office door opened, so she gazed away from the documents on her desk and stared at her secretary.“What's the update?” Carmen mumbled.Chester hesitated for some time because he didn't know if Carmen wanted to hear the report he got and he also didn't want to upset her since he was a bit afraid of her temper.Carmen impatiently stared at him, and when Chester noticed the frustration in her gaze, he realized that he had to say something.“Miss Robert passed the interview.” Chester hastily replied with a bit of sympathy in his voice.“Well, good for her,” Carmen mumbled.Chester abruptly giggling as he stared at his boss in shock. But when he saw that her remark was not a joke, his smile became awkward.“What? But she… I mean you and her… Are you okay with her being here?” Chester mumbled.“Why not? She has a great educa

Time flew by quicker than Chester expected. However, when Friday morning arrived, he had a bright smile on his face the moment he saw Carmen approaching his desk.“Good morning, boss.” Chester brightly said.“You looked bubbly this morning,” Carmen replied as she walked past him.Chester’s eyes then lit up when he noticed that his boss slightly smiled at him before walking away, and that had his heart racing.He then jumped up to his feet and followed Carmen into her office.‘She finally warmed up to me. Yes! Yes!’ Chester excitedly thought as he waited for his boss to acknowledge his presence.Carmen then looked away from her phone and stared at Chester, and in that instant, she immediately felt lost of words when she noticed him giggling to himself.“What are you happily smiling about?” Carmen asked.“Uh?” Chester absentmindedly mumbled.“Is

He was never mine Epilogue
When Freddie brought the car to a stop, he stared back, saw that Liam was sleeping, and faintly smiled as he thought, 'Sir just arrived in the country from a business trip, and yet he didn't hesitate when Miss Smith asked him to pick up Ethan. He really cares about young sir.'Realizing that the car wasn't moving, Liam raised his eyelids and asked, "We are here?""Yes, sir," Freddie said.Without uttering another word, Liam got down from the car and headed into the school building.When he got to Ethan's class and his teacher saw him, she smiled and said, "Ethan, your father is here."Keeping silent, Ethan walked over to Liam and mumbled, "Hello,"With a smile on his face, Liam sighed and thought, 'I have been in your life for one year now, and you won't call me 'father.' How long will it take to make you open up to me and believe that I'm not going to leave you.'Afterward, he extended his hand to Ethan, and not hesitating, he

The sound of her ringtone caused Carmen to set the pancake box on the kitchen counter. Then she picked up the phone, answered the call, and said, "Hey, mom." "Are you okay?" Mrs. Smith worriedly asked from the other end of the line. Confused by her mother's question, Carmen calmly uttered, "Why wouldn't I be?" "Well, Ummm… We were told that Ali was at the company yesterday?" "Seriously, you guys are still keeping tabs on me!" "No! Of course, not… Well, okay, yes we are. But not in the way that you think. Your dad and I were just checking in with Tracy this morning to find out how your first day went." At that moment, Carmen heard Mr. Smith say, "I told her not to call you!" Giggling faintly, the slight anger she felt slowly faded, and she said, "It's fine. We handle the situation pretty well, I think." "We?" Mrs. Smith asked, sounding curious. "Liam and I." "You guys are a

Keeping his eyes fixed on Carmen and Ethan as they stood by the car door, waiting on him, Liam walked over to them.When he was a step away from them, he stopped. Then Carmen met his eyes and said, "Ethan wanted us to wait out here for you.""Thank you, bud," Liam uttered, looking down at his son.Then he focused his gaze back at Carmen, and her face still bore no expression, making it hard for him to guess what she was thinking or how she felt.A few minutes later, as Freddie drove them out of the parking lot, the car was silent and continued to be even after he got on the main road.That bothered Ethan a lot, and he looked up at Liam on his left for a few seconds, and then looked to his right at Carmen before mumbling "I made a friend at school today.""Really! Bud, that's amazing!" Liam said with a look of pride in his eyes."Yeah, baby. What's your friend's name?" Carmen asked, unable to stop smiling.With an excited

The office was silent as Carmen stared coldly at Ali, wondering what she would say to her.At last, she lowered her brows and said, "We are not that close, so let's save the chit chat, and you can excuse yourself and leave.""Oh come on, Carm. Don't tell me you are still holding onto past grudges." Ali cunningly said, sluggishly relaxing back on the seat.Although Carmen didn't know where the conversation was heading, the last thing she wanted was to continue it.So she looked straight into Ali's eyes and said, "We are not doing this.""Doing what?" Ali asked with an innocent expression."I k

"Ding Dong!"Withdrawing his hand from on the doorbell, Liam waited patiently for a couple of seconds.Then he reached for the bell again, but the door suddenly opened, and Carmen stood in the doorway, staring at him."I hope I'm not too early," Liam mumbled, drawing his hand to his side."No. You are on time." Carmen said as she stepped aside for him to enter.After walking into the hallway, Liam gazed back and asked, "Where's Ethan?""He's having his breakfast," Carmen said, shutting the door.Afterward, she and Liam headed into the dining room together.When they arrived, and Liam sight rested on his son, his face lit up, and he excitedly uttered, "Hey bud. Ready for your first day of school?"Pouting, Ethan looked away from his cereal, stared at Carmen, and mumbled, "Mommy, why can't you be the one to take me to school.""We talked about this, honey. Your dad doesn't have much to do today, so he's

"Mommy," Ethan called out, looking at Carmen before staring down at her vibrating phone.Then he gently shook her arm until she finally raised her lashes and stared at him.Still feeling dizzy, a soft smile crept on her lips as she stared at her son's grey eyes and long lashes."What is it, baby?" Carmen whispered."Your phone is ringing," Ethan mumbled, drawing back on the bed as his mother sat up.It took her a second to fully awake. Then she stared down at her phone, picked it up, and answered the call."Good morning, mother," Carmen said, raffling Ethan's hair as he giggled faintly."I know it's early. But I and your father was discussing, and we thought since you have spent four months on that end, you are ready to take over the SM branch there." Mrs. Smith's voice echoed into her ear.Keeping silent, Carmen rested back on the headboard and thought, 'Four months? It's been that long already?'"What did Carm say?" Sh

For a while, Lina stared at her son, wondering if he was serious or not."I ready don't want to repeat what I said," Liam mumbled, gazing away from her. "You need to leave.""I am your mother," Lina whispered, clutching her fist."Remember the days in the darkroom, when I was screaming to be let out, I needed you to be my mother then or when Anthony and Levi left bruises on my skin and made me bleed, I wanted you to be my mother…""Liam…""There were so many instances that are needed you so desperately to realize that I am your son and put me first! But you didn't!""I'm…""I'm not going to be like you, mother. My child comes first even before the woman that brought me into this world, so you need to leave!"Fighting back tears, Carmen clapped her hand over her trembling lips as she stared at Liam with a touch of sadness in her eyes."I know my wrongs." Lina cried, not knowing what else to say.

Staring coldly at his grandfather, Liam scowled before gazing at his mother and saying, "It was supposed to be just you!""Well, when father found out that I was seeing Ethan, he wanted to meet him too, so he flew over to me for us to come together," Lina said, smiling at her son.However, that didn't change Liam's expression, and his eyes got colder the more he stared at his grandfather."Are you going to let us in?" Anthony asked, scowling at his grandson.The atmosphere was intense, and Carmen felt it as she approached Liam at the door."Mr. Davis?" Carmen mumbled, losing control over her expression for a second and frowning.Then she quickly curved her lips into a smile and calmly called out, "Liam, are you not going to step back?"Taking in a deep breath, Liam continued to give his grandfather an icy stare for a few minutes before allowing himself to step away from the door.Everything in him hated to see Anthony and
