CHAPTER 16: MEETING THE TWINSSHANBRI POV"Benedict has brought your children home," said Sir Josh, asking for his name. I suspected correctly that it was Benedict who brought the children to the company. Kenj and I are on our way to our house. Now I will introduce him to my children. I am sure the children will be happy because they have been looking for their father for a long time.Kenj and I are currently riding in his car. I'm a little surprised because we're holding hands today. We haven't talked about getting back together yet, I just told him that he is the father of my children but that doesn't mean we are back together. We probably won't be able to go back to the past with the amount of things that happened to the two of us when we weren't together. I just held my breath and suddenly Kenj spoke. "What are our children's names?" he asked suddenly. "Ah, the boy is Yaji Michael..." I stopped a little. "Why did you name him that?" he asked curiously again. "I took it in
CHAPTER 17: KISSSHANBRI POVThe children requested that their father sleep here and Kenj granted them. We'll just squeeze in later because our bed isn't that big. The three are currently in the bathroom to take a half bath. The twins said that their daddy was the one they wanted to be with, that's why I went ahead of them. I'm sitting on the bed now and I'm texting Trish because I told her that the twins have met their father. She still wants to call me, so I said next time, I'll be the one to call because Kenj is still at home. Suddenly, a text came from Benedict. From:BenedictShan, I'm sorry if I didn't tell you that I would take the children with me to pick you up from the company earlier. Bri was already crying so I gave in. I'm really sorry. Ben explained to me. I replied "okay" and placed my cellphone on the bedside table. I don't blame him because the outcome of what happened was good. My children are happy now because they have met their father. I just held my breat
CHAPTER 18: GIRLFRIENDSHANBRI POVI was still restless in my seat. Because I joined Kenj in going to the company. I was forcing him to let me commute but he didn't want to agree so I didn't do anything. I'm sure if an employee sees us together and they see me getting out of his car, they will probably be even more annoyed with me. We are close to the company, that's why I spoke. "Mister, stop the car on the side," I said to the driver. I'll just walk until the company is near. I don't want anyone to see Kenj and me anymore. "No. Go on, Tom," Kenj authoritatively ordered his driver and he followed him. My shoulders fell. Maybe I'll just cover my face later. After the car stopped, I immediately got out and ran into the company while covering my face with my bag. I heard Kenj call my name but I didn't look at him and I just went straight. No one must have seen us. I immediately entered the elevator and I breathed a sigh of relief. ___ Kenj doesn't pay attention to me anymore be
CHAPTER 19: FAMILY DATESHANBRI POVToday is Sunday so we are going to the mall as Kenj promised his children. We are currently in the car and Kenj is now driving. I was in front and our children were in the back. They have seatbelts so I feel safe. "Dad, is this your car?" Yaj asked his father. "Yes baby," Kenj replied sparingly. And focus on driving again. "Wow! It looks so expensive dad," Yaj responded in amazement and looked around the inside of the car. Kenj just smiled at his son's reaction. "Daddy I'm so excited! This is the first time that we will go to the mall with a complete family because we have a daddy now. I'm so happy!" Bri said with an excited voice. She is really happy today. I just smiled at them. Finally, their wish came true because their daddy was with them. This is okay with me because I know that Kenj has a girlfriend and we can't be together anymore. It is enough for me that he be the father of my children. We didn't even talk about Miss Kate anymore.
CHAPTER 20: SORRYSHANBRI POV"Where do you want to go next?" Kenj asked the children happily. "Daddy, I want to buy a dress!" Bri replied to his father. Yaj, on the other hand, looks satisfied with the purchased toy. "Okay princess." And we went to a boutique. It's obvious that you will love their merchandise here. Kenj really looks to spend a lot of money today. "Good morning sir/ma'am, welcome," a saleslady greeted us. We entered and went to the children's dresses. Bri's eyes lit up when she saw the different clothes. "Is it for a baby girl?" asked a sales lady who approached us. "Yes, some dresses please," replied Kenj and the saleslady looked for dresses. "This sir, it fits a baby girl." And he presented us with dresses. It's beautiful and looks like it fits Bri. "Do you want that princess?" Kenj asked his daughter and Bri nodded. "What do you think babe?" And Kenj asked me. I nodded and was about to choose at least two or three dresses for Bri because we don't go out o
CHAPTER 21: WAITTHIRD PERSON POV Kenji Yael drives fast in his car and even against his will, he has to reject the children. He was also forced to lie to Shanbri. Kate called him because she wanted to meet for dinner. That's why he doesn't agree to sleep at Shanbri's house because Kate comes to his condo and he might be surprised when he doesn't find Kenji Yael in his condo. He will definitely report to his mommy and that's what Kenji doesn't want to happen. He was already inside the restaurant where he and Kate were going to meet and he immediately spotted her. He approached the girl and suppressed his own annoyance. "What do you want?" Kenji asked the girl sternly and reluctantly sat down. "I just want to eat with you baby. But wait, why are you dressed like that?" She refers to the clothes the young man is wearing. That was the family tshirt they bought earlier at the mall. Kenji didn't pay attention to her question and his eyebrows immediately crossed. He doesn't want t
CHAPTER 22: EVIL PLANSHANBRI POV I didn't go with Kenj to the company. No matter how many times he forced me, I did not agree. I don't want people to hate me. That was a painful feeling. Seeing us go in together again will only make the two of us gossip more. I don't want his reputation to suffer. Miss Kate is not in Kenj's office now. I asked him earlier why Miss Kate was not there yet but he only said that she had returned to the city. I didn't ask again. "Sir, I would like to ask you something if possible," I said to Kenj, he was already busy with what he was doing. "Of course, what is it?" he answered and just looked at me for a moment and returned his attention to what he was doing. "Can you just put me back to my old job position?" Please, I asked him. I got his attention and he looked at me seriously. His two eyebrows met. "What?" he asked me as if I had said something unbelievable. "Sir, put me back to my old job position," I repeated what I said and he frowned. "But
CHAPTER 23: MARRY HERSHANBRI POVUntil now, Kenj has not returned here to Sta. Luna. Sir Josh now runs the company. Kenj doesn't even call or text me. He knows my number. Maybe he is too busy in the city.I have also returned to my old job position and somehow the rumors about Kenj and I have stopped. I'm off work today and Trish is at home. She visited us again because she said she misses the children and wants to wander here in Sta. Luna. Trish and I are currently talking in the living room while watching the kids play. "Hey witch, tell me more. So, what's up with you and Kenj, huh?" Trish was curious. She is always very gossipy. "No. He has a girlfriend, what are you doing? I already told you about Miss Kate," I answered her. She raised an eyebrow at me. "Silly, why are you sure that Miss Kate is his girlfriend, huh?" she said to me as her eyes widened. "That's what Miss Kate said that she is Kenj's girlfriend. She probably wouldn't lie to me, right?" I suddenly thought. Ye
CHAPTER 61: HAPPY ENDING KENJI YAEL POV "Hey, what are you planning to do, huh? If my bride won't show up at our wedding, I swear to kill each of you. I am not kidding here,” I asked my friends, obviously losing my patience. They keep on communicating with Shanbri's best friend and all I know is that they are planning something to give this wedding a plot twist. However, I am clueless about their plan and they are not willing to inform me about it either. "Just relax there, dude. I am sure that Shan will come but of course her entrance needs to be a bit dramatic to make your wedding more memorable," Josh said with a little grin formed in his mouth. "I agree with that, bro. Make sure your cameras are ready huh. This special moment needs proper documentation," Vester seconded. "Hey, hurry up so we can eat," said Justin. I don't know why I have a friend who is always starving. It's like he is not eating at all. "What kind of nonsense are you thinking? Who is planning this again?"
CHAPTER 60: BIRTHDAY PROPOSAL SHANBRI POV "Ahhh!" I turned over in my bed because of my bad dream. I immediately got up and went to my children's room. These past few days I've had a really hard time sleeping and I don't know why I'm always having bad dreams like I had right now. "Kids, are you awake?" I wondered immediately after I entered my children's room. Both of them were not in their bed and I noticed that their bed was still messy so they must have just woken up. I headed inside the bathroom because maybe the twins were there but they weren't. I can't stop the nervousness and my chest is pounding immediately. I hurriedly left the room and looked for the children in the whole house but I couldn't really see them in any corner of our home. "My God, where are my children?" Shaking and full of fear I said to myself. I am afraid that my bad dream will come true and I will never be able to be with my children again. I can't handle that. They are my life so if something bad
CHAPTER 59: THE RIGHT TIME THIRD PERSON POV Shanbri still can't believe what she has found out about Kenji Yael and Kate's fake marriage. She did not think that such a scenario could happen in real life because she had only seen it in books and movies before. Despite being informed, Shanbri remained silent and has not yet taken any action regarding this. She wanted to think about her decisions before she talked to Kenji Yael. The latter also does not show up to her and their children because until now he has not visited their home again. Maybe he is busy with his work in the city and Shanbri understands this. "Hey, Shanbri. You are zoning out. Are you thinking about something?” Shanbri didn't realize that her boss, Tyrone, was right next to her. She is currently in the staff room because it is time for her break time here at the Cafe where she works. “Oh, sir. You are here. I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something but it's nothing," Shanbri replied simply and immediatel
CHAPTER 58: FAKE MARRIAGE SHANBRI POV "Hi, Shanbri. How are you doing? Can I talk to you?” I didn't expect Kate to come here. Yes, it was Kate who came and I don't know how she knew the house we were staying in. Whatever She was planning, I immediately felt bad about what was going to happen next. “What are we going to talk about, Kate? If it's still about what happened at the Cafe, I'm sorry again but I don't want to talk about that anymore," I replied firmly. "Don't worry, it's not about that. Can you let me in first?” I'm hesitant to let her into the house because I don't know what's really going through her mind right now. I know Kate's temperament and it is not impossible that she will start trouble when I let her into the house. "Who is that, Shan? Do you have a visitor?” I lost my attention on Kate when Benedict suddenly came to the door. I feel the nervousness I had earlier come back and I can't help but be afraid of him after what happened just before Kate arrived.
CHAPTER 57: UNEXPECTED SAVIOR SHANBRI POV It's my day off today, that's why after taking the kids to their school, I decided to clean the house first. Things have been a bit heavy these past few days, especially between Kenj and me. I am also thankful because after what happened to us the other day, he has not visited us at home again. Maybe he is busy with his work in the city and I think he also needs to make up for his wife because of what happened at the Cafe in the past. Good thing I was given two days off from work so I had an excuse to avoid my colleagues at the Cafe. It's embarrassing because what happened was also because of me, so I don't have the courage to answer their questions yet. "Shan! Long time no see!” I was about to get the cleaning materials for the house but I was shocked when the door suddenly opened and I saw Benedict with a big smile on his face. "Are you okay? It's like you have seen a ghost. I'm sorry if I don't knock anymore. I was excited to see yo
CHAPTER 56: TEMPTATION THIRD PERSON POV The two couldn't hold back their feelings anymore and shared a warm kiss with each other. It's like they're on top of a cloud and both don't care about the consequences of their action. All they know is that they both miss each other's kiss so much and even though they control themselves, the screams of their hearts still prevail. "Damn, you don't know how I missed your kiss, babe. I missed everything about you. How I wish that we can come back to what we used to have.” You can trace the sincerity mixed with sadness in Kenji Yael's words after he let go of the lips of the woman he loves. You could tell he was craving Shanbri's kisses but he had to stop himself because he knew what would happen if they continued it. “Kenj, this is wrong. We shouldn't be doing this. You are already married to Kate, so no matter what angle we look at it, what we are doing now is betraying your wife," Shanbri replied sadly and hopelessly to her beloved. "I
CHAPTER 55: HOLD ON SHANBRI POV I felt bad going into the staff room. I feel as if my heart is breaking because of the overwhelming grief that the truth has caused me. "Accept it, Shanbri. You are done and will never be able to return to what was before." I just tried to convince myself to reduce the pain I feel now. I didn't realize that there were tears already falling from my eyes so I quickly wiped them away with my finger. "Are you okay, Shanbri? Why did you leave?” I was surprised by Kenj's sudden arrival in the staff room. I frowned at him because I didn't know why he followed me here, especially since he knew that his wife was also here. He might see us again and start another trouble. “What are you doing here, Kenj? Go back to your wife." I immediately pushed him away and secretly rolled my eyes at him. "She's gone. I mean, I asked Tyrone to escort her to the nearest hospital so that she can get checked by a doctor," it was a simple response that raised my eyebrows.
CHAPTER 54: SECRETLY HURT SHANBRI POV "Whatever you are planning, don't go ahead with it. I have to go down because I might be late for my job and if I lose my job, it's your fault, Kenj," I answered rudely and immediately avoided his eyes because I might not be able to handle it and I suddenly gave up. I just left him inside his car and immediately entered the Cafe. It's only a few minutes left and I'm already late for my work and I don't want that to be the reason for my salary deduction. "Hi, good morning, Shan!" “Morning, Shan!” I also greeted and returned a smile to my work colleagues Gelo and Jason. Both of them are in their respective stations and I'm the only one waiting. I immediately went to the staff room and changed my uniform and then started my work. "Hey, where's Tyrone? Is he already here?” I heard Kenj ask Gelo. He is always like that every time he comes to the Cafe. He looks like he owns it because he even surpasses the boss in his speech. “Good morning, sir
CHAPTER 53: SHUT UP SHANBRI POV A week has passed since the children's school fair. Kenj often visits his children even though he is busy with work. I don't know how he is able to combine his work in the city and coming here to a distant province to see and be with his children. But I can assure that he is also struggling with this set-up but even though it is tiring, he doesn't show it because he still manages to be naughty so I am always annoyed because of him. "Hi, good morning! How are you doing?” That's it and suddenly Kenj appeared in front of us. He was standing in front of our door and his smile was ear to ear. You'd think that he doesn't have any work to attend to that's why he's still able to do what he wants. "What are you doing here again, dad?" Yaj asked sternly and immediately lost his mood when he saw his father again. Until now, the two have not reconciled, but I can see how Kenj is making an effort to win back his son's heart. "I'm here to drive you to your
