R-Roman ... L-Let me explain," Lalaine's tongue knotted.She was threatened that it might lead to destroying all of her evil plans, especially since Tristan was there and could drop her at any time."You really need to justify yourself. Who is this man?" Roman confronted her. He glanced back and forth between her and Tristan."H-He ... H-He's my baby's father, Roman." She looked down at the ground.She pushed herself to cry because that was Roman's weakness. He softens every time he sees her in tears."B-Baby?! Y-You already have a child?! T-Then you're just fooling me?!"She looked up with tears in his eyes."N-No, Babe! I-I'm not fooling you. T-This man and I have been separated for a long time! A-And our son . . . O-Our son died when he was still in my womb. M-My son hasn't seen the world anymore."A few seconds passed before Roman spoke."Then why didn't you tell me the truth? Why did you hide it from me?""B-Because I don't want you to leave me! I-I don't want you to leave me, Ro
They returned to the city. Vincent thought that Lalaine would be far away from him permanently. But it's just his belief. Unfortunately, the couple stayed at their house."Why are they still here? When are they going home?" he asked Romana in a whisper as they reached the house.Apart from the fact that they don't have privacy when the two are around, another reason is that he will surely continue to be lured by Lalaine if she's everywhere.Romana held his arm and thoroughly whispered. "Roman begged me for them to pause here for one more month. He wants to be with us for a bit before he pays back to United States."He did not react. One month is too long. A lot can happen in a month.Romana noticed the silence and elongation of his face so she simply caught his hand thereafter clasped their palms together."Just a month, Baby. I didn't spend time with him when we were kids, so I expect you'll let me."He pushed to smile. Who is he to say no? He was just a worthless guy that Romana pic
Romana was already in a huge room when Vincent came. His nervousness lessened as he saw his wife was conscious."B-Baby . . ."Instantly, he moved toward her side. Meanwhile, Roman and Lalaine were quietly eyeing them. The two presently sitting in one corner of the room."How are you? What did the doctor say? Why did you lose consciousness? I advised you not to get tired."He seized one of her hands and squeezed it gently."Relax. I'm fine.""Why don't you hire maids, Sissy Romana? Sweeping the house is risky for your age. You are already old," Lalaine's mouth spat without a break.Romana's exquisite smile vanished from what the girl said. It was as if she was trying to offend her.Roman merely touched one of Lalaine's thighs to stop her from talking. Perhaps her brother noticed that she was offended by what his girlfriend told."Who are you calling old, Lalaine? Is it my wife? Did you see any wrinkles or gray hairs on her head? She doesn't have any, right? My wife is flawless but you
"Lower your voice, Lalaine! You're here in our house! I thought everything was clear to you?! We are over a long time ago! Why are you bringing it up again?!" Vincent whispered but firmly to Lalaine.Abundant tears continue to fall from her reddened eyes."It's not about us, Vincent. It's about our child! You didn't value his life!""Just your child, Laila! Your child from the other man!" he corrected her fibs."Your old wife made you believe that I cheated! She poisoned your mind! She made up that hypothesis so that we can be set apart permanently!"He just laughed sarcastically. Until this day, she is still acting like a victim even though he already caught her."I watched the video! You can't lie to me! And what is this absurdity we're dishing about?! Your child passed away?! Why don't you just get pregnant so you can have another child?!"A powerful slap landed on his detailed jaw. Lalaine's chest heaved as she stared intently at him."How I wish your child would die too so you ca
Lalaine hung around outside of the village as she waited for her order. Today is the day to deliver the drug she bought from an illegal site online. She sneaked out to meet the delivery person."That pest! Why did that delivery rider take so long?! My skin is on fire from waiting!" she bared her teeth as she stroked her arm which was slightly red because of the enthusiastic sunlight.She took an occasional glance at her wristwatch. She had been there for thirty minutes but she could not see even the shadow of the rider."Tsk! Does that fool intend to use up my patience?"She pulled out her mobile phone from her pocket to type a message but was stopped when a motorcycle stopped in front of her. Its rider is wrapped from head to toe. She couldn't even see his hair or nails."Lalaine Montenegro?"She frowned."Are you the one with what I ordered?" she asked annoyingly.The man took the small black plastic from inside his jacket and then waved it in her face."Here, take it."She was abou
Roman quickly put back the small bottle of medicine to the pocket of Lalaine's denim shorts as the lock on the washroom door turned."Babe. . . Have you seen my –"She briskly walked toward him and snatched the denim shorts in his hand. She fumbled for something from the pocket and then looked at him again."Did you touch my personal things here?" she frankly questioned the man.Roman responded with a fast shake of his head, "I was just planning to smell it." He laughed at the woman.Lalaine brought out a hindered smile on her lips to his response."Aren't you tired of smelling my buds earlier? Do you also enjoy smelling my shorts?""Why should I get worn out? Your scent is so flavorsome," he flattered the woman again even though the fact was that he was confused as to why she was hiding the medicine from him.The characters written on the bottle was misoprostol and he intended to find out what it was for."Flatterer! I'm taking off to take a shower!" She came into the bathroom again.
"B-Babe ... Y-You know how much I love you. I-I don't know what you're saying," Lalaine lied."Tell me the truth. What's wrong with you? What's the Misoprostol you're hiding from me for?!""Misoprostol? Isn't that for ulcers? You have an ulcer, Lalaine?" replied Romana who had been listening to their hot conversation.Lalaine discreetly cursed in her mind. She is infuriated with her meddler boyfriend. He wrecked all of her plans."Ah, yes! My paunch has been hurting for a week so I thought of buying medicine online. I didn't want Roman to worry anymore so I didn't let him know but he caught me off." She pursued that up with a laugh out loud."What for I did become your fiance?! Why is it so difficult for you to tell me your problems?"Impatiently, Roman stood up from his stool and then left the table with big steps."B-Babe!" She was about to chase the man but Romana also stood up to stop her."Don't worry, he's just upset. He was solely worried about you so much that's why he reacted
Lalaine thought her lips would be crushed by Vincent's violent kiss on her."H-Hey, V-Vincent! What's wrong with you?!"She poured all her strength to push the man away."Why, Laila? Do you like that Roman more than me?! You said that you are just using him to get close to me! Why do I see you behaving differently now?! You made me feel that you're just telling an untruth!""Can you blame me, Vincent?! Roman is a good person! He's not hard to love, he doesn't have so many issues unlike you!"The expression on the man's face firmed up."So, you actually love him? Then, what? Are you heading to neglect me?""What am I to you, Vincent?" she asked the man dauntlessly. There was a piece of her heart that yearned to know the answer to that question but Vincent cannot respond."I've asked you this before but I would like to ask it again. I'm expecting that you already have an answer now. Do you still love me?"Vincent looked away as he fondled his detailed jaw."What kind of drama is that,
"It's not that easy what you want to happen. You already have a girlfriend. I don't want to ruin a relationship for the second time."She avoided looking at Evo. She wanted to continue their past, but it wasn't possible. It would be horrendous if her mistake would happen again."You don't need to worry about Thea.""Don't you really understand? I don't want another woman to suffer because of me! Is it really that easy for you to switch girlfriends? After you've taken advantage of them, you'll just leave them like a piece of trash?!" she asked angrily.Because of the strength of her voice, Baby Rebecca awakened. The baby cried loudly. Romana tried to calm her child but Rebecca didn't stop. Roman approached her to take the baby for a moment."I'll take care of my nephew. I think you two need to talk suitably."After his brother got out of the door carrying her daughter, Evo locked the room."What are you doing?" She raised an eyebrow.Evo grinned widely as his tongue ran over his white
"P-please, L-Lalaine! D-don't do it! I am begging you! T-tell me what I have to do so you can forgive me for everything I've done wrong! I-I'll do anything!"Lalaine grinned. She hugged the baby tightly again. Her gazes were burning as their eyes met."You will do everything? Did I hear it correctly, Romana?"Romana quickly bobbed despite the shivering of her entire body."I-I'll give it whatever it is! Just don't take the most precious treasure I have from me!"Lalaine raised her index finger high. Romana's eyes followed the movement of her hand and her heart beat fast as the woman pointed her finger to the bottom of the building."Jump," Lalaine ordered her dead emotionally."W-what?" she stammered.The two men straightened in their spots at Lalaine's order."Enough, Lalaine!" Tristan shouted."Why? Can't you, Romana? I thought you would do anything for this child. If you die, you are paid for everything you owe me. You stole my quiet and beautiful life I had! If it wasn't because o
"R-Romana. . . " Evo tried to hold her hand and reveal the truth that it was all just a show but was stopped by a strong slap in the face.He could feel the pain on his skin, but for Evo, that pain was nothing compared to the pain he caused Romana to feel now."I-I thought you would understand me ... Y-You abandoned me … I don't want to see your face anymore, E-Evo Xylon. You are just making me suffer even more every time I see you. Get lost! Stay away from me!"Evo bowed down. He lost his mind that what the woman was going through was too heavy, but instead of staying by her side, he chose to walk away.Roman gently patted his shoulder. "It's alright, man. I'll take care of my sister. Thank you very much for taking us here."Evo walked slowly towards the door to leave the house. All this time, all he wanted was to experience Romana to fight her love for him, but he did not foresee that by doing that, he was already torturing Romana's heart.Roman received an anonymous call after Evo
"Kitty! Let's find Baby Rebecca! I can't afford to lose her!" Romana cried hysterically to her companion.She freaked out and didn't care what people around her would think. She crouched on the floor, worried about what might happen to Baby Rebecca."Ma'am Romana, calm down. We will ask for help."Those in charge instantly responded to the scene of the crime. One of the security guards of that establishment approached to inquire what happened. Correspondingly, a staff member has already phoned the authority to deal with the case.Kitty reached Roman. The maid likewise couldn't think straight anymore."Hello, Kitty?" Roman answered from the other line."S-Sir. . ." she stammered, incapable of concealing the tension in her voice.Roman scowled. "Is there a problem?"Even Roman's companion, Evo, stopped what he was doing. They are presently playing billiards at Evo's place."What? All right! Stay there! I'm going!"Roman quickly pulled out the jacket from the coat rack and then left in a
She laughed bitterly; couldn't believe that Evo would bring up that issue out of the blue."Is it forbidden to hug you? We used to do more than that, didn't we?" Romana's eyes broadened as she asked her ex-lover."So, you are still head over heels in love with me?" He grinned while stroking his detailed jawline.A winced and sardonic laughter echoed around the house. "What a jerk!""Did you use illegal drugs abroad? The reason why you're out of your mind now?" she summed up."Why don't you just admit that you can't get over me? You still love me, am I right?”"In your dreams!"That debate was cut in only when the short-tempered doctor stood up from his seat. Roman just stared at them, listening to frivolous arguments.He looked at the three of them back and forth."Damn it! So irritating!" Tyrone broke into their argument."I'm leaving before I go completely crazy because of these two," Tyrone added before he walked out disappointed.With extensive steps, he spelled the direction to t
"E-Evo. . . "Nothing has changed in the appearance of her ex-lover. If there is, it's just the slight maturation of his face.Yet, the fineness of his posture and his handsomeness did not diminish. If she were to be asked, he became even more gorgeous in her eyes."Evo!" she exclaimed again with a tone of excitement.Rapidly, she strolled closer to embrace him tightly but. . ."Honey. . ." called the girl who had just come out of the washroom.She froze and glanced at the unfamiliar face of the woman in confusion.Apparently, she had just seen the woman just now but what confused her mind more was who the girl called honey.Is it Roman?Tyrone?Or Evo?"Honey?" Shocked and bewildered while looking at the two men alternately."A-ah, R-Romana. . . S-she's Thea by the way. . . Evo's fiancée," Roman introduced the woman.It was as if a vital slap blasted her face due to shame."Huh?" That was the only word that came out of her mouth. Didn't know how to react.Eyes became mischievous, try
Unexpectedly, the door of her room opened. They both turned to the door, followed by the entrance of his brother, Roman; they were caught in such a position."Hey! Are you scaring my sister too? Stay away from her!" The doctor said nothing.It comes off that what Tyrone is doing to her is common for Roman.He came in holding up a large tote bag with various contents such as bread, fruits, fresh milk, and others.Tyrone immediately moved away from her, looking at her brother without emotion."Next time, don't ask me to do things like this, okay? I'm a doctor and also a businessman, not a caregiver! Babysit your sister 'cause I have a crucial thing to do." Tyrone left the room after that.Roman shook his head at his friend's behavior."Is that really your friend? He has such a bad attitude!" Romana asked followed by a flash of smirk on her lips.Roman just laughed. "Sorry for that. That one is really rude but he is kind. You see... He still watched over you even though he was against i
"R-Roman! A-are we still far?!" Romana asked her brother between accented groans.She was in the backseat while her brother had his eyes seriously concentrated on the highway. From time to time, he glimpsed at her to see how she was doing."Just be patient, Romana. We'll get to the nearest hospital."A few minutes passed before they reached their destination. Roman got out of the car, he was immediately greeted by two nurses."What's the problem?" one of them asked him."My sister is in the car. She's nearly to give birth. . . P-please, please assist her!"One of the two nurses who came upon them ran back inside the hospital and he returned with a stretcher."Sir, we're going to shift her here."They supported Romana down to the car and then carefully transferred her to the stretcher. She was frequently inhaling air because it seemed like she was about to run out of breath."Relax, Ma'am. Don't worry, we will do the best we can to help you," the nurse calmed her before pushing her to
It's not easy to start over but Romana has no other option but to face tomorrow alone.Ever since Evo left, she had a hard time. Although she had many attendants to serve her, it still felt different to have a shoulder that you could lean on during hard times. She misses his care.To make an escape, she made an effort to crochet a hat, a mitten for her baby's hands, and socks using red and pink cotton yarn. She persistently watched videos on the internet to learn how to do it."Looks like we're doing something serious there, huh?" Roman remarked to her.The man just came from work. He begged her very much to cure their connection as siblings.Roman was the only family she had, so she agreed to reconcile.And even on the day that they resolved the problem, he did not agree to live in a different house anymore.He said it would be better if they lived together under the same roof so he could monitor her and her baby.She did not attempt to object. It's sad to be alone, especially since
