CHAPTER 9: AT THE BARSHANBRI POVWhen I entered the bar, I was immediately greeted by a very loud sound. The different colored lights are dazzling and the people are hyper dancing on the dancefloor.Others are busy drinking and have their own group.I even saw a couple kissing on my side. The man's hand was already traveling on the woman's body, almost clothed and missing the fabric.Oh My Gosh! They are even doing the things that should be done at the hotel or wherever they want. I just heaved a sigh with just the thought of it.It's my first time entering a bar because I'm not a drinker. I still remember that I only drank alcohol once when Trish was broken-hearted.I went to her apartment before and she drank there. She only forced me to taste the alcohol because she said I needed to sympathize with her as her best friend.It's really her boyfriend's fault. Hays, I still blamed him. But my friend still got back to him even after being cheated on. My bessy is very stupid sometimes
CHAPTER 10: TALKSHANBRI POVHis driver immediately greeted us and opened his car door. He slowly put me down and got into the passenger seat."Tom, at the condo please," he said to the driver and he immediately drove off.We were next to each other and our bodies were really touching. It's like Kenj is hugging me. One of his hands was on my waist and the other was hugging my arm. It's like he didn't want to lose me.I turned and scolded him. "Sir, let me go, we're already in the car." And I tried to get away from him but he only tightened it."No. You might even run, I won't be able to handle it when you disappear from me again," he replied firmly and looked me in the eye.My heart beat faster at what he said. Why is he doing this? He is married so he shouldn't be like this to me now."Why-" I couldn't finish what I was going to say because he cut in."Stop it. Don't talk, I'm getting more dizzy," he said and I was alarmed."H-huh? You're dizzy, why didn't you tell me right away and
CHAPTER 11: STILL SINGLESHANBRI POVSince what happened at Kenj's condo, I haven't seen him again. He said he has returned to the city because he also has to take care of his main company.Sir Joshua was the one he assigned to take care of the company while he was away.He was his friend who was with him at the bar when I picked him up there. It turned out to be one of the investors in the company he bought.After all, he also really needs to go home because his family is there in the city.My heart suddenly throbbed at my thought. He is happy there with his family but my children here are looking for a father.I just immediately erased what came to my mind. I have decided that I will hide my children from him and I will stand as their father and mother.Our life is okay now and I don't want to mess with his life. I just heaved a sigh with just the thought of it.Yes, it's the weekend and Trish is here at our house.She is currently playing with my children as if she really misses th
CHAPTER 12: UNFAIRSHANBRI POVI was stunned by what I found out. If so, this is what Kenj wants to talk about with me.We didn't talk about it the next morning at his condo because I left right after I cooked him his breakfast.I left him there again and didn't even wait for him to wake up.Maybe he wanted to explain to me but I didn't even give him a chance.All this time what is on my mind is that he is married and maybe has a child with his childhood sweetheart.That's what his mom told me that he was engaged so I left him because I thought I was only bothering him.But what if sir Josh is just lying and covering up for his friend?"Are you okay Shan?" I came back to reality when sir Josh asked me."Ah yes, I'll go first, I'm going to my children," I said goodbye to sir.I'm confused by what's happening, I don't know what's really true."Oh is that so, okay." And I immediately left him and looked for Trish and my children.They are no longer at the ice cream stall so I just looked
CHAPTER 13: SPECIAL ASSISTANTSHANBRI POVIt's Monday and I'm back to work again. I don't know if Kenj has come back here but I've made up my mind. I will talk to him to enlighten me.I was wondering because I couldn't see my things. It's not on my table anymore.I turned to Faye to ask her. "Faye, did you see my things, aren't they on my table?""Hmmph!" She didn't answer me and suddenly rolled her eyes at me.This is a problem. I know I'm not close to anyone here at the office, but I don't remember that we had a fight.I frowned at her."Oh Shan what else are you doing here?" I was surprised by the insertion of Mr. Santos."Why, sir? Am I fired already? That is why I don't have my things here?" I asked sir.I'm so nervous right now. I don't want to lose my job, especially since my children are growing up and they want to go to school. How can I support them if I lose my job?"Ofcourse, your things are really gone because you've been promoted, Shan. Congratulations!" sir happily ans
CHAPTER 14: JEALOUSSHANBRI POV"Mommy wake up!" Bri woke me up and kissed me on the cheek. I opened my eyes and saw my children hugging my waist while lying down.Bri kissed me again on the cheek and went up to my stomach. "Good morning mommy!" she greeted me enthusiastically."Morning Mom." Yaj is already sitting by my side."Good morning my babies!" And I kissed them on the cheek. I am really impressed with my children who wake up earlier than me."I'll just go to the bathroom. Wait for me outside. Go to your grandfather and grandmother first," I ordered my children and they nodded and I went to the bathroom to do my morning rituals.I'm going to get ready for work because I'm sure I'm going to have a headache again. Kenj has been annoying me for three days as his special assistant and we haven't been able to talk sensibly.He will take care of his life because no matter what the truth is, I won't tell him about the children anymore.Maybe he will just not like my children so it
CHAPTER 15: FATHERSHANBRI POVIt's almost time to get off work but Kenj still doesn't pay attention to me. Because earlier when he kissed me, I pushed him away. It got so strong that he sat on the floor. Well, that's because we are in the office and he is doing that. It's good that he locked the door earlier. He is angry with me because according to him I don't really love him anymore because I don't want to kiss him. He said that I had already exchanged him for Benedict so he was ignoring me. He also didn't accompany me to eat but he still bought me M*do from his secretary. I would like to talk to him so that I can know what is really true and why he is showing me like this, but I can't get the right timing because he is hot-headed. He hasn't even eaten lunch yet so I'm sure he's hungry and tired. He was still focused on his laptop. "Sir aren't you hungry yet?" I pay attention to him. He didn't even look at me. "I'm not hungry," he answered me sternly, looking like he was sti
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 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
