The world seemed to spin, the harsh fluorescent lights of the restroom blurring into a dizzying kaleidoscope. My legs felt like jelly, and I could only manage to stand with Rexon's steady hand on my back. The air crackled with tension, the sharp words of Dawzon echoing in my ears."I said what happened here?!" His voice was a thunderclap, his eyes blazing with fury."Why don't you ask your girls about it?" Rexon countered, errhis tone laced with a bitter sarcasm that made my stomach churn."Lara, let's go." He called out to me, prompting me to stand up straight. I didn't know what to do or say because of everything that was happening."How could you ruin her life?!" Rexon's voice was choked with anger, his grip on my hand tightening.I saw the dark fire in Dawzon's eyes as they landed on our intertwined hands. A wave of nausea washed over me."You have no idea what you're saying!" He took a step towards me, but Rexon shielded me with his body."Let her go, brother.” His voice was a l

A wave of annoyance washed over me as I left the house, Dawzon's words echoing in my mind. "Fine, just order the items for the house," he had said, his tone dismissive, his gaze distant.It was as if he couldn't be bothered to even pretend to be interested in the details of our new life together.I decided to do the shopping for the household needs alone. It was a small act of rebellion, a way to assert some control in a situation that felt increasingly out of my hands.I browsed through the aisles of the supermarket, my cart filling up with a strange mix of necessities and personal indulgences. I started with the meat section, grabbing a few different cuts, unsure of what Dawzon preferred. Then, I moved on to the canned goods, dairy products, and toiletries, filling my cart with the basics. Finally, I reached the beverages section, picking up a few beers and a bottle of wine, a small act of rebellion against the strict, controlled life I felt I was being forced into.It was sur

“Lara!”As I turned to the familiar voice calling my name, I was met with Japs' accusing gaze."Hey what's up?! You don't even tell us what's going on in your life!" His playful poke caught me off guard as we walked side by side."I'm okay, Japs," I replied, trying to brush off his concern, but he wasn't convinced. "Huh? Is that true? You're not telling us something, I know," he prodded further, raising an eyebrow at me."I don't want to talk about it right now, Japs," I deflected, my dark eyes avoiding his probing gaze. "What do you think?" I questioned, feeling the weight of unspoken words between us.He turned away briefly before whispering softly, "Do you have a problem?" His words hung in the air, and I struggled to find the right response. Ever since the argument with Dawzon, our interactions at home had been strained, especially during dinner."Oh my gosh! Really?" Japs' shocked reaction to my story made me pause. Perhaps confiding in him wouldn't be so bad; after all, he was o

"I woke up to the weight of his legs draped over me. Even his arm around my waist remained motionless."Oh my!" I attempted to sit up abruptly, but I was forced back down by his tight embrace."Hmm." That's all I heard from him as he nuzzled into my neck. I found myself inhaling deeply in response to the effect it had on me.I glanced at the alarm clock on the side table, it was past six o'clock."Dawzon, we're going to be late for school," I whispered to him, but I didn't hear any response from him."Dawzon!" I even tapped his arm, but he just snored again.So I gently removed his legs draped over mine and my stomach, slowly making my way to the bathroom to shower.The feeling of the cold water flowing over my body was refreshing. I couldn't help but smile when I remembered what happened last night. I wasn't too drunk, so everything was still clear to me, even the last words he said."I was startled when I remembered those words. I had no right to clarify that with him. Besides, I kn

Sunday morning, I woke up feeling light. I took a shower and dressed in a simple loose shirt and shorts.I went downstairs to cook breakfast, although I only knew how to cook eggs and ham, sometimes just instant noodles. But I didn't hear any complaints from him.After toasting the loaf bread, I smiled as I laid it on the table. I even clapped my hands because I cooked everything nicely.I started cleaning the house, while Dawzon hadn't come down yet, so I had time to clean.I was sweating while wiping the figurines when I heard the doorbell.Out of curiosity, I immediately went out to check."Hi!" It greeted me cheerfully as it peeked through the gate railings.I paused for a moment to think. My feet automatically stepped closer to the gate to open it for him."Good morning, is Zon there?" It greeted me with a wide smile."Uh, yes, but he's still asleep," Did I sound unfriendly? It suddenly hesitated at my response.After recovering, he also visited my outfit and the sweat on my fore

"Have some water first," he handed me a glass of cold water."What happened? I'm even getting high blood pressure because of you!" Japs said to me. I had been crying non-stop since I arrived at his condo unit."Does your Mommy know about this?" He moved closer to me and placed his hand on my forehead.I shook my head repeatedly, not wanting to add to his pain when he finds out about Dawzon and me."You should talk about this first, you can't just leave like that," he rubbed my back.I just shook my head at him. We had nothing more to talk about because it was over between us, and we weren't really married."If I see that Isabelle, she'll be sorry!" He said through gritted teeth."Are you sure your marriage is fake?" I raised my eyes to him, feeling confused."Why don't you let him explain first, maybe he has a reason or what so ever," he suggested."I don't know, all I want now is to get away from him," I said firmly."What if you get pregnant?" I saw the concern on his face as I look

"What the hell is happening here?" I spoke loudly to everyone."Please, Mrs. Del'torre, lower your voice," the Manager restrained me, looking at Dawzon and then at the others present.I took a deep breath before deciding to sit on the right side of Dawzon."We're not married," I said firmly to him, but my back quickly hit the office chair as whispers spread among the seated individuals."Please, Lara, don't bring our personal problems here." He rested both his elbows on the table and clasped his hands.I bit my lip, feeling embarrassed by my actions."So let's start," he said to recover.As the Sun Real representative spoke in the middle, I couldn't help but glance at Dawzon, who seemed to be playing with his swivel chair, pen on his lips.I glared at him sharply, but it seemed like he wasn't listening, instead, he was looking at me as if he was enjoying the situation.I quickly averted my gaze from him, feeling his piercing stare."Mrs. Del'torre." I snapped back to reality upon hear
Heart's Desire CHAPTER 37
Two years later...I push the cart quietly as I browse through the shelves where the canned goods are, when my phone rings."Um..hello?""We're fine, we're just grocery shopping with Carl." I scratch my head as I talk on the phone."Stop being paranoid, Rex, it doesn't suit you." I roll my eyes as I push the cart, with my two-year-old son sitting in it."Alright, bye!" I quickly bid farewell before turning my eyeballs around before ending the call.I peek at my son, busy with the bottle of milk in his hand, looking up at me.I can't help but smile sweetly at him because he perfectly captures the image of his father.I gave birth to Carlson by cesarean section, as my eye slits didn't want to open wide enough, so they had to cut me open, even though I could have endured it, but Rexon decided to have me undergo a C-section to avoid any problems and to prevent me from further difficulty. So in the end, I couldn't do anything about it."Mom--" he says to me, handing me the bottle of milk.
