GRAYSON’S POV:As soon as I got in, my eyebrows immediately furrowed when I saw three figures. Two of them were sitting together while whispering at each other, so I couldn’t see their faces at the moment, and by the looks of it, it seems that they are talking about something important. The other one who was sitting opposite them may have already felt my presence, which became the reason why she turned her head in my direction. When our eyes met in the air, she gave me a smile, to which I replied by nodding my head at her."He is here already, Empress and Emperor." I heard Mac mumble politely, which became the reason why I turned my attention towards the two people earlier, who were now looking back at me.The other one was still cold as always, while the other one had a smile on her face despite the fact that it was faint.At first, I was quite confused when I saw their faces, but it slowly changed into a surprised one as my jaw dropped when I saw those eyes. I look into her eyes wit
JAYCEL’S POV:I was leaning my head against the backrest of the couch here inside Xercel’s hospital room. I was closing my eyes and trying to take a rest because these past few days, I have become even more sleepy and lazy. Aside from that, morning sickness was starting to bug me, which gave me a lot of stress and exhaustion. My moodiness was also starting to show up, and I tried my best not to make it too obvious for my friends to know.I heaved a sigh and massaged my forehead as I thought of this secret. I know that anytime soon, someone will notice my abnormalities. However, I am still not ready to face all this shittyness. Being a mother for me is like an amazing oasis in the middle of a desert. However, even though I like kids, especially Chronicles and History, since they are cute, smart, and well-behaved little ones in my eyes, it didn’t appear in my mind that I was the next one in our circle to have a child. Of course, not to mention that I was still hiding from the father of
JAYCEL’S POV:I immediately cut her off as I nodded my head and told her, "Yes, it was Travor, so I started to stalk him through his different social media accounts and everywhere that I could get some information about him." I sighed and leaned my back on the backrest as I continued, "I thought it was just some sort of pure admiration, but I was completely wrong because when I saw him here again, I was dumbfounded to know that I really fell for him."She rolled her eyes hearing this as she asked again, "How did you know that it was him?"I smiled gently when I remembered his face during that time as well as during the time when I saw him again in school. I looked at her with serious eyes, but maintained that hint of a genuine smile on my lips as I replied confidently, "I know because I saw his face during those times, and before you asked me how I knew it, I will tell you first that I let someone sketch his face based on the features I remembered about him and let someone find out ab
JAYCEL’S POV:On the other hand, I was also shocked to witness when the Empress suddenly grabbed it and answered the call, but instead of talking to that person herself, she smirked at me and pushed the phone onto my hand before dragging his husband out of the room. However, I was left dumbfounded because of how fast those things happened, and they didn’t even give me some time to react.I was in a daze for how many minutes, but when I heard that voice calling my name, I unconsciously looked down at the phone that was resting on my hand and got annoyed again."Jaycel, talk to me, please." I heard him say this with a pleading voice.I scoffed when I heard his voice and realized that the Empress did this on purpose. However, I really want to eat some mango.Maybe because he didn’t hear any response, he asked again, with obvious caution in his voice as if he was afraid that he would trigger something, "Jaycel, can you hear me?" I didn’t answer again as I heard a sighed from the other lin
TRAVOR’S POV:She smiled at me and answered gently, "Your dad and I will have a date tonight, but before that, I need to do something in the company first, and after that, both of us will see each other in our favorite restaurant."I nodded my head at this as an understanding since this is already their habit. Every Friday, both of them will clear this schedule and have a dinner date at their favorite restaurant.I couldn’t help but admire and somehow envy my parents’ love for each other. It’s very healthy, to the point that they've stayed married to each other for so many years now. I didn’t even witness their fights, if ever there were any, and I didn’t feel neglected or scolded that much.It may seem so lucky to have this life, which is not wrong, but for me, this is quite enough. I am very content with our lives now, so I promise myself that whoever I have sex with, whatever happens, I must marry that person.As an only child, I grew up witnessing the love of my parents. Mom even
TRAVOR’S POV:She immediately answered grumpily, "No, because I want you here already, so hurry up!"I sighed helplessly and replied, "Okay, I’m on my way."After I said that, I just heard some hum, and the call immediately ended. I couldn’t help but shake my head at this before putting my phone back inside my pocket and facing Kiana.She smiled at me and said, "I guess I already know why you bought these things."I looked at her with a smile, but I still couldn’t help but ask with confusion, "What do you mean?"She shook her head and smiled meaningfully before saying, "She wants to eat this kind of food and some other weird combinations of food as well these past few days, but I don’t have the right to tell you anything, so you must ask her about this or find it out yourself."After that, she immediately waved at me before dragging my best friend away. I looked at the backs of those two and couldn’t help but smile, and somehow I became happy for Calvin. At last, he wasn’t that alone
TRAVOR’S POV:So this became the reason why I averted my attention to her, and upon seeing it, he looked at Iciest and added, "But I think it is better if Kiana, Calvin, Grayson, and everyone else are also here so that the explanation will be explained in one go."This made Iciest look at her and ask with confusion, "Is it okay for you to trust them?"Ice looked at me coldly, which somehow made me stiff because it looked like a warning, but after that, she still nodded her head and heaved a sigh before she answered coldly, "If Jaycel and Kiana trust them, I am also willing, especially Grayson."However, I still look at her calmly because I know in myself that I don't have the heart to betray my friends, especially if it involves their lives.Hearing this, Iciest immediately nodded his head and pulled out his phone from his pocket before dialing a number there. At the same time, Ice also did the same, and I think they are contacting everyone.While they were doing something, I felt tha
KIANA’S POV:As soon as we arrived at the hospital, Calvin immediately parked his car, and both of us went out of the car. As we made our way through inside the hospital, I couldn’t help but somehow think about different reasons why they called us here both, not to mention that their voices earlier were so serious.I mean, they are always serious and cold, but this time, I felt different. When we entered the elevator, I was just looking blankly ahead when I felt a warm hand hold mine. I immediately averted my gaze and looked down at our clasped hands as I raised my head, only to meet Calvin’s eyes.His eyes looked at me softly as he muttered, "Don’t be nervous and worried; everything will be alright."He squeezed my hand softly, as if trying to calm me down. I looked into his eyes, and they were too calm—no nervousness or any hint of being worried at all—which somehow made me do the same. I heaved a sigh to calm myself down and smiled at him softly, as if trying to tell him how thankf
