CHAPTER 40: REJECTED SHANBRI POV "Ayiee, answer sir, ma'am!" "Yes, that's it!" "Congratulations right away!" I remained silent despite the noise of my companions. They were all smiling and all they wanted to hear from me was my sweet "Yes" to Benedict's question to me. "Answer immediately, bes! Don't think about it anymore, okay?” I turned to Trish and she gave me a thumbs up. I could see the concern on her face because she knew me better than anyone in this room right now. She is the one who knows my true feelings best and I am also sure that she knows that I don't like Benedict from the beginning and it is unlikely that he will get the answer that he is most hoping for from me. Not at this time and certainly not forever. I took a deep breath and looked at Benedict seriously. I helped him stand up from his knees and caressed his handsome face. He smiled because of what I did and even our companions cheered. “Ben, I just want to say, thank you very much for the effort you
CHAPTER 41: ONLY YOURS THIRD PERSON POV After Kenji Yael married Kate, her daddy fulfilled his promise and Kenji regained their company, but all their businesses were merged with Kate's family company because of the marriage that took place. But Kenji assured that he will still remain the CEO of KY Villamor's Corporation and he will still manage their company so it should still be his decision that will be followed. With each passing day, Kenji spent his time and energy running their company to make up for all that was lost and get it back to normal. He couldn't take a long break because he was too focused on work and the company. That's why he rarely gets to spend time with his wife because he is not giving time for her. Because of Kenji's cold treatment of his wife, Kate is always moody and like a leech when she is with Kenji even though he doesn't pay attention to her. "Baby! Can we go on a date today, please? Since we got married, we haven't been on a date or even gone for
CHAPTER 42: FIRST DATE THIRD PERSON POV Kate is very happy now because Kenji finally agreed to go on a date with her today because it's the weekend and that's why they don't have work. This is the first date of the two officially since they got married. That's why it's a very important day for Kate but for Kenji it's just a normal day to take a break from stressful work. "Are you enjoying the movie, baby? Why are you so silent? Talk to me, hmm?” Kate responded softly to her husband as they held hands inside the cinema. "I'm fine, just focus on watching. Don't mind me," Kenji simply answered as he looked directly at the big screen but something else was running through his mind at that moment. After a few minutes, the movie is in the steamy part and the scene now is the bed scene of the movie stars. Kate's body immediately heated up because of the hot scene while it seemed to have no effect on Kenji because there was no emotion on his face. You wouldn't even see the joy in his
CHAPTER 43: MYSTERIOUS GUY THIRD PERSON POV Twins Yaj and Bri just finished class. They are currently at the gate of their school waiting for their mom because the security guard cannot let them out without their guardian to fetch them. "What is taking mommy so long? I want to go home already, brother," Bri complained to her brother Yaj because until now their mommy is still not there to pick them up at the daycare center where they are studying. "Just hang on there a little bit, Bri. I am sure mom is already on the way so she will arrive here to fetch us as soon as possible," Yaj replied to his sister to make sure that she would not worry and get bored while waiting. The two looked at their schoolmates who were happily being fetched by their daddy and almost all of them had their fancy cars. The two suddenly felt sad but they just ignored them. Even though they are jealous of their fellow students, they know that they can't do anything about it because their daddy is not with t
CHAPTER 44: DAD'S DUTY SHANBRI POV I am here today at a cafe near the daycare center where my children attend. I would like to try to apply here so that I can have a part-time job at least because I also need to earn for our daily expenses. I chose to apply to this Cafe so that I can be closer to my children's school and I can easily pick them up and we can also go together whenever they go to school and I am here at my part time job. I was just a little worried because I knew it was time to pick up the twins from their school but I was still here at the Cafe and was told to wait for their manager for my interview. As a matter of fact, I'm sure the twins are safe at their school because I know they won't be let out there without their guardian to pick them up. I just let out a sigh of relief and quietly waited for the manager inside his office. A few minutes later the office door opened and it spat out a stunning man who I think was in his mid-twenties. I immediately stood up a
CHAPTER 45: FAMILIAR SHANBRI POV I woke up the twins early because we were leaving the house together today. It's the first day of my part time job at the Cafe and I want to go to work early so I can have a good start. I just took my children with me because their school is close to the Cafe where I will be working. I told the children not to go out with anyone again, especially if they don't know them. I don't want a repeat of what happened yesterday.So I told the security guard of their school that if possible, they should not be allowed to go with others again and not let them leave the school until I pick them up. After dropping off the twins at their school, I went straight to the Cafe and it looks like I'm early because it's only 7:00 am and my work here starts at 8:00 am and the Cafe opens every 9:00 am. I saw that the door of the Cafe was open so maybe someone was already inside. Maybe it's one of the caretakers who come from the Cafe every morning or maybe my boss, S
CHAPTER 46: TWINS' BIRTHDAY SHANBRI POV My twin children's 4th birthday has arrived. As per my plan, we prepared a simple birthday celebration for my children so that they can also be happy on their birthday. Here we are now in the VIP room of a restaurant that Benedict rented for the twins. I didn't want him to spend more for the twins because they could have celebrated at home, but Benedict didn't agree and said that it was also a gift for the twins. I let him do what he wants and Trish is also here to join us in celebrating. My parents are not present today because their residence is far away from where we are staying now.That is why I just called them earlier via video call so that they could talk and wish the twins on their birthday even though they are far away from us. "Hey, it's a pity that I don't have a child yet. We don't have any guests other than the twins. It would have been more fun if there were many children with us today," commented Trish with a sigh while arr
CHAPTER 47: END OF LOVE STORY SHANBRI POV “Come outside with me, Kenj. We need to talk, right now.” I looked at Trish and Benedict. I signaled to them that if possible, they should take care of the children first. They got what I was trying to convey and Trish immediately took action to get the twins from their father. I looked at Kenj seriously and headed outside first. I felt that he followed me so somehow I breathed a sigh of relief. "What do you want to say? Why do we have to go out? Don't you want them to hear what you have to say?" Kenj asked mockingly and I saw him smirk a little. I looked at him more closely and I feel that he has changed a lot. His gray eyes were very cold as he looked at me. As if the old flame of the times when our relationship was still good is gone. But what else do I need to expect? Maybe he really lost his love for me and he doesn't feel the same for me as before. I think someone else owns his heart. And that was none other than his wife Kate
