I'm waiting for Eugene to finish the phone call from Anica's husband, Deon. When Eugene sat down in the bed and glanced at me, I bit my lower lip nervously. I immediately asked when he finally ended the call."W-what did he say? How is Anica?" my voice shakes with fear."Deon is still unsure of Anica's condition because she is still in the emergency room," he explained.My shoulder drops as I wipe away my tears. Why is it always like this? We're always having problems, and someone close to me is always getting hurt; it's never-ending, and I'm sick of it. If I am happy for a short period of time, there is always a problem that will take those happy memories away from me.Eugene's phone rang for the second time, which startled both of us. He let me see who was on the other end of the line before answering."Yes, hello?" he answered the phone as I stared at him blankly.His expression was solemn as he listened to what was being said on the other line."Let's do that then, yeah...I'll be
"What about the man who gave Anica the poison? Did he get caught?" I started asking questions again. Eugene shook his head in front of me, looking disappointed."The Police arrived late," as expected."Where is Nurse Clea?"When I think of Nurse Clea, I glance at the door. She was with me earlier, and before I fell asleep, Anica mentioned that Clea was the one who let her in. My eyes widened as I realized something. Anica stated that Nurse Clea and the guard were guarding the door; if they were guarding the door, how did that intruder get in so easily? What if nurse Clea is on the enemy's side?"She's in the hospital as well," Eugene said, causing my heart to sink. "What do you mean?" my hands trembled with nervousness and fear once more."It's not that serious; I heard she's awake now; the suspect put her to sleep, and the guard outside was lured by their tactics; those enemies aren't just ordinary criminals; they're experts," he explained.I close my eyes and can't believe what I'
We didn't waste any time after deciding to go to Palawan; we packed our belongings and began living. We were on our way to the car after Eugene had loaded all of our belongings. While we exited the elevator at the parking lot, he was carrying me like a bride."How will we handle the case against Calissa if we go to Palawan? That's too far away from here. " Eugene remained silent until we arrived at the car, where he assisted me in getting into the shotgun seat. I didn't take my gaze away from Eugene when he still didn't respond while adjusting my seat belt. When something came to mind, my mouth slightly hung open."You're not planning on leaving us there while you help the cops here, are you?" I asked, dumbfounded.He raised his brows in surprise, and I glared at him even more."Answer me," I demanded angrily. I cried when he remained silent. He stands up straight and brushes his hair, and I know what I'm thinking is correct. He's going to abandon me and the kids in Palawan while he
"It's impossible for me to love you because I don't see you as someone I can be with; I didn't have feelings for you before, and I don't have feelings for you now," Eugene stated flatly.We all look in Calissa's direction, waiting for her response, but we are all confused when she begins to laugh and suddenly pulls the long thing in his hand. The shine of the metal reflects light and causes blindness. My eyes widened when I realized what she was holding was a samurai. It's a long sword with a stunning red and gold dragon handle.Why is she carrying such a dangerous weapon? Calissa's evil laugh echoed throughout the parking lot, and I began to panic. I'm still inside the car, and Eugene is in front of me, but I can't help but notice how dangerous the situation outside is. I reach for Eugene's hand with a trembling and cold hand. I'm terrified..."What are you planning to do now?" Eugene yelled at her, "Can you please stop? What is the point of all of this? I told you, I don't want to b
"Are you sure it's okay for us to visit her?" Eugene asked, surprised.We are currently in the hospital's hallway on our way to Anica's room, which is also in the hospital where she was admitted. Eugene is pushing my wheelchair."She's already awake, they're just waiting to be discharged," he said, looking at each room number on the door.The doctor insisted that we stay in the hospital the second day because I was showing signs of excessive stress and anxiety, which could cause my depression, which could be associated with pregnancy. Eugene agreed right away and was perplexed as to whether it was bad or if I needed medicine.He's being overly paranoid because of our current situation, I am thinking... Is Eugene all right? With everything that had happened, he was just fine. 'He always says he's fine,' reassures me, but I'm afraid he's just trying to be strong, that he's drained inside him, but he exists as a pillar of his home, so he doesn't want to show me that he, too, is weak.I c
"I'm terrified, Mommy."I embraced him tightly. We were on the plane earlier, and Loki was still crying. He seemed to be excited right up until we arrived at the airport, 'like Thor.'"Why are you afraid, baby? We're not going to fall," I explained, arranging our blankets."The size of an airplane, like a monster," he sobbed, clutching my body even tighter.I just shook my head and hugged and comforted him while we lay down. Yes, we were sleeping. I was surprised that this plane had a room earlier. It's almost like a miniature house. When I first saw the inside of the plane, I thought it was just a regular plane.The plane's interior is nearly fully equipped. Eugene was meticulous, even replacing the beds with softer foam for me. "He's still crying, Wife?" Eugene inquired, peering through the door.I bowed to Loki and saw that he had fallen asleep crying."He's fallen asleep while crying," I replied, and he went inside."This one also fell asleep, he's too tired of being the pilot,"
"But why?" I ask.I had no idea he had changed his plans."I'm sorry for informing you of this late wife; it was just a last-minute decision; if we stay on an island, we'll have a difficult time going to the hospital or having you checked," he explained carefully.When I finally understand why he changes his mind, I look at him for a second before nodding my head. That's exactly right; I didn't think we'd have a problem getting somewhere because it's an island and very private."Are you angry?"I look at him again and immediately smile to show him that I am not angry or upset."No, hon, I was just shocked, but yeah... I agree with you, and thank you so much," I extended my hand and touched his cheeks. He took my hand in his and kissed it."Don't worry, the house is amazing, and I hope all of you love it," he said."How did you find the house? Who owns the house we're going to use?" I ask. I still have a lot of questions because I didn't know anything about it."It's our house, wife. E
"Is it okay for us to stay here, hon? this place is so big and looks so luxurious," I asked as I took a look around.The big white and blue house is glamorously beautiful but not intimidating; it's huge and appears luxurious but it's still welcoming. We are already standing in front of the big blue gate, looking out at the ocean. Yes, this opulent residence is located directly on the beach. We can hear the ocean waves from here.I looked up at my husband when I felt his big, warm hand on my cheek."Did you like it? This house will be our new home from now on," he said, nervously looking at me, waiting for my reaction.This house seems to be too enormous for the four of us. I wanted to say that I prefer a smaller house so that I can always see them, but doing that would upset Eugene. I know how hard he worked to get this place, and I truly appreciate it. He always gives us the best of everything. "I love it!" I exclaimed, smiling. After hearing my response, I noticed his lips form a b
Eura Claire Ibañez, that's the name I gave to my baby girl with Eugene. I'm just stunned here' in her crib, watching her sleep for hours. She is eleven months now, it's funny that she looks like Loki and Thor. Eura is also a female version of Eugene.Both of our papers and the things we will bring home from the Philippines have been arranged. I want Eura to have a birthday with her older brothers and her daddy. I'm still nervous about how Eugene and the twins will react. What if they are angry specially the twins? I left them without saying goodbye, I abandoned them. At that time, I was not in the right frame of mind, all I knew was that I was in pain, I wanted all the pain to go away, and the only way I could think of to escape the pain was to stay away from it. I didn't plan to be away for a long time, my plan was only for a month or two, but it happened that I found out I was pregnant so I was away for almost two years because of fear that I will dissapoint my husband again if the
[Third person's point of view]When Thor and Loki heard heavy footsteps coming down the stairs, they looked up. They were both surprised to see their father come down the stairs wearing wrinkled clothes and shorts. Eugene's hair was also messed up, and the most surprising thing to them was that he was not wearing slippers."Daddy?" Thor asked as he walked away without looking back. Everyone became worried when they witnessed Eugene's behavior.When the twins run after their father, Daisy and Mylene grab Loki and Thor's hands and guide them. Thor was quietly worried about what was going on, but he chose to remain silent while observing what was going on."Where did you take her?"That was the first thing the twins heard from their father after he asked Jared once he got out of the car. Jared looked pitifully at the male boss before turning to face the two innocent children in the back."I took the Madam to the bus station, Sir," Jared replied."Damn it," Eugene said hoarsely, rufflin
[ Laura ]The first thing I notice when I open my eyes is the setting sun through the glass window. The sky has already turned gold, and everything around me is silent. Eugene's face appeared when I turned to the other side of the bed. He's still sound asleep next to me. While watching him sleep, I swallowed hard. I quickly closed my eyes and turned away from him when I felt the sudden flow of tears. I clenched my teeth to prevent myself from making any noise as I sobbed.I remember everything. I clearly remember every detail. It's all coming back to me now... the agony of losing a precious life... I remembered everything. I kept shouting in my head while my entire body trembled from crying so hard. All of the pain I felt during those times and days returned one by one. All of the pain that my brain chose to forget is now piercing my brain and my heart. It hurts. Despite the pain in the middle of my thigh, I forced myself to get out of bed. After finally standing up, I winced as I f
[ Laura ]"W-wait," I said quietly, gently pushing his chest.When he finally let go of my lips, I was still catching my breath. I almost squinted as I looked into his equally drunken eyes."Why?" he asked quietly. My body twitched as he teasingly trailed his fingers down my neck to my collar bone. His touch pricked my skin."Someone will see us here," I said shyly before taking a look around."Damn, you don't have to worry about that," he responded as he kissed my jaw.When I felt his hand enter the bottom of my dress, I swallowed. I was even more surprised when I felt his large, slightly rough palms on my stomach. I almost screamed when I felt him lick my ear."Eugene!" I exclaim loudly.When I tried to move away, he quickly placed his hand on my neck and drew me closer to him, capturing my lips once more. I couldn't help but grab both of his arms as his kisses became more intense."Happ," I moaned as his tongue entered my mouth.He grabbed my waist and pushed himself up from a seat
[Laura's point of view]While Eugene pushed the wheelchair I was sitting in, my eyes kept wandering. I can't believe I live in this big house; it seems like only yesterday I was pouring coffee into a cup, and then when I woke up, boom, here I am, living in a new place, people…"Mommy!" I looked up at where the two voices came from. "Boys, don't be too naughty, okay?" Eugene talked to them. "Yes, Daddy." one of the twins nodded."Aye Aye Captain!" The other one even saluted his Daddy mischievously before turning to me and smiling. It's so cute because even its eyes seem to be smiling as well as its cheeks. I don't know what reaction I have to show them. I was just stunned as I looked at the two boys who both had beautiful smiles staring at me."H-hello..." I greeted them. "Hi." replied the boy with a serious face."Hello Mommy, I miss you so much!" one greeted silently, both hands behind his back.I smiled when I noticed the movement of its feet. I extended my hand to them. I can't
[Third person's point of view]"What memory?"Eugene forced a smile when he saw the doctor and his wife. He approached Laura's bed and gently brushed the hair that had fallen from her brow. Laura raised her head and smiled before responding."I'm not sure if I remember that correctly, maybe I just made it up out of curiosity," Laura shrugged after telling her husband the memory that came to mind when she woke up.Laura is unsure whether what she saw or remembered is true because she is still perplexed by everything that is going on."That's right," Eugene replied, causing Laura's eyes to widen in surprise. Eugene smiled and touched his wife's cheek. "I used to be your boss, and that's how our relationship began," Eugene explained.Laura laughed at Eugene's confirmation of the memory he remembered."Oh, by the way, Mr. Ibanez, you can take your wife home now that her check-up is finished," the doctor added, making Laura even happier."Thank you," Eugene said politely."You're welcome,"
[Third person's point of view]"It's fine if you come back tomorrow morning," Laura replied after putting the fruit in her mouth.Eugene frowned as he watched his wife eat. In his mind, it appears that his woman doesn't care about him leaving and would prefer not to return."It's as if you want me to leave, and you even said I'd be back tomorrow; it's a little painful, but it's okay," Eugene replied fatly while peeling an apple.Laura was surprised and immediately laughed when she noticed his pouty face while peeling the fruit. It's like a child sulking and complaining, being overly sensitive and mischievous... Laura smiled as she realized she could easily recognize and adapt to the man's behavior despite her lack of memory of him.Laura defended herself, saying, "That's not what I meant.""You said I could come back tomorrow, even though I said I will just be gone for a while," Eugene continued to think before standing up and putting the knife and bowl away."Silly. I only said that
[Third person's point of view]Laura was lying in the hospital bed when she caught a glimpse of Eugene, who had been sitting and working on the sofa for nearly an hour. Only the sound of the papers Eugene was holding and his typing on the laptop could be heard in the quiet room.Laura clicked her tongue when she became bored. He didn't know what to say to Eugene because she didn't remember much, and she was not sure what conversation she'll have with him. She was embarrassed to ask because the room was in disarray due to his sudden headache.Laura puffed out her cheeks while staring boredly at Eugene."Are you bored, wife?"Laura's eyes widened in surprise as Eugene turned to face her. She was caught off guard, unable to speak as she stared at Eugene's face."Those glasses suit you, you look handsome," she said abruptly. Even she is taken aback by the words that have come out of her mouth.Laura closed her eyes and looked away, embarrassed, especially when she saw Eugene's lovely smil
[ Thor's Point of view ]We are here at the playground and my twin and I are happy because we rarely get a chance to go to a place like this. When we were still in Manila, we used to go to this kind of place, but most of the time it was at the mall and my twin and I were still very young so I don't remember much. So now Loki and I are here and we don't care even though we're almost out of breath, we're going to run and play."Bro I want to try to slip there" I heard Loki say."Where?" I asked and followed his gaze.I immediately winced when I saw the slide almost filled with children. I was still nervous when I saw someone pushing me."No, it looks dangerous. Let's play something else, there are many more there." I said and looked around the whole place to find something to play with."No. I like it there!" Loki insisted so I just gasped."There are too many children playing in there bro. Look, it's so chaotic in there, someone might push and you will fall." I stopped him while pointi
