Just Got Lucky (BOOK 1) 29
29L I N D Y I cannot believe that Martha is actually here.“Oh my gosh, you are here!” I gaped and hugged her as soon as she got close to me.“I have missed you so bad!” She says as she tightens her hug.“I have missed you too.” I answered.She pulls herself away and glances at Jake, “Hey Jake. What’s up?”Jake smiles, “Hey.”“I thought you went to New York for your modeling career?” She asks.“Modeling?” I repeated as I turned to Jake.“Yeah, it didn’t work out.” Jake answers shyly with a rueful smile.“You’re both on the news quite recently. I saw a few snapped photos of you together. Is Milo okay with that?” Martha asks. “Please tell me you are still together.”“Milo and I are absolutely fine. He is cool with this for the meantime, at least I have someone who can protect me.” I answered as I glance at Jake. “Anyways, what are you doing here Martha?” "Oh, baby girl I have a lot of things to discuss with you.” She giggles.I have terribly missed her so much. She furrows her brows

30L I N D Y“I am beyond the word happy right now!” She exclaims excitedly.I smile.“Does Milo already know?”I nod, “He was the first one I talked to about the pregnancy.”“I am happy that he is responsible enough as a man after getting you pregnant at such a young age. That’s why he got you this house huh?”“One of the reasons.”Her brows creasing, “Now why do you look like you are sad?”“I don’t know. I am happy that we have a baby but…. I just don’t know how the people will accept this. I am still a teen. I’m still so young and this could possibly ruin Milo and his career.”Martha rushes to my side and gives me a warm embrace, “Look I know you are always so worried about what other people would say and how other people will judge you. But don’t you think that it is time for you to stop worrying about what other’s would say if you do this or you do that?”“I just can’t help it Martha. I always end up worrying about the fact that I could possibly be the reason why Milo’s career wo

31M I L OI groan as soon as my phone kept ringing over the dresser next to my bed. I don’t know what time it was but I guess it was already three in the morning. I reached for my phone half asleep and half awake when the call ended. I rub my eyes then I take a good look who just called me and as soon as I notice that it came from Lindy, I hurriedly called her back. “Hello?” Lindy sobs softly on the other line. “Lindy baby what’s wrong?” “Milo…” her voice soft, almost like a whisper, and sounded scared. I can feel her cupping the phone with her hand as it sounded a little breathy. “What’s going on?” I ask again as I pulled myself up from the mattress.“Someone is watching me from outside the house.”My brows, “What?” I feel a little bit nervous that I pulled the duvet off me. “What do you mean? What are you talking about?” “There was an unknown number who messaged me and it said I’m watching you.” I feel a little fright beginning to grow, “Where are you? Have you made sure you

32M I L OJake dated Bianca Annalise. I don’t even remember who that woman is but she didn’t really matter. What mattered was Jake.Maybe he is bisexual? I can’t stop myself from thinking and worrying about his sexuality because he seems to be around Lindy all the damned time.As soon as I reached the studio, I didn’t think about anything else but the conversation I had with Paige earlier in the café about Jake. I tried to assume that possibly she was talking about the wrong guy or maybe she is lying to me just to get back at me after her modeling career flubbed. But what’s more frustrating to me is the thought that makes me wonder if Lindy did even know about this. Did she know he was a model in New York? Did she just lie to me about his sexuality so that she would live there and I won’t suspect anything?No. A voice in the back of my head heeds.She couldn’t lie to me over that. I know her better and she wouldn’t. What if Jake is the one lying to her about his sexuality and ever

33J A K EI hated school. As soon as I finished college, I only had one goal and that was to become a model and do whatever it takes to become one. I am not very good at academics and hell I don’t even want to lift a bone in studying. I didn’t know how I survived high school and passed all that crap.I hated football too although I used it for scholarship since my father is a completely broke human being. I used to do part-time in waiting tables and it was something I was embarrassed about but I needed the money. Although I almost seemed to resort to joining exotic male dancers but then there’s school. I know I have more potential in me and I know I look damned good. I get it, I am charming and sometimes it’s just so easy to get girls these days. Most people think I am an aloof, or so they say I am because I don’t really like to talk to people who are not really worth my time. I didn’t have much male friends in high school because they are always so intimated by my presence to whic

34L I N D YAfter my last lesson, Jake showed me some images, and as soon as I saw them, a shudder ran down my spine. They were not something that I wanted to see, not with what is happening to me for the past few days. Immediately when I saw pictures of Milo and Paige having a date at a coffee shop, I felt as though my entire world was whirling with rage and fury. Why would Milo meet up with that woman in a coffee shop? What things are there left to talk about? Why in hell was she even meeting him in the first place and what else does she want from him!?How dare she touch his face in such a way!Since he is well aware of how envious I am of her, I find it hard to believe that he had the guts to actually meet with her in public. He was actually meeting her, so it makes sense that he did not even message me at all for the whole day today because he was seeing her.It is absurd that he had promised me that he never cheated on me and yet he is out there meeting an ex who took advantage

35I breathe out heavily, "How could you say that about a guy who actually opened his home for me?!”Milo annoyingly runs his palm over his face before he pushes his hair off his forehead, “That is the problem! He is not a hero here!”“Hero?!" I gaped before I scoff. "Hero or not, he was the one who was here and not you!” I paused and realized that my words went too far knowing the current situation that we are both in. I can tell from his eyes that he was hurt by what I said and I have never been more sorry. “Milo, I did not mean….”“You are right anyway.” He answers as he nods at me and it hurts me that those words slipped from my mouth even before I could think about it. “You are absolutely right. I was never there when you needed me and it fucking kills me every time I think about that Lindy!”There was silence."Do you have any idea how it hurts me so much that I am here and I am not with you?! You have no idea how I want to quit with everything with work and just be with you!"“

36L I N D Y“It’s Gwyneth.” Milo smiles.I was able to breathe as soon as I found out that it was her but I was surprised to know that she is there. Anyways, I am happy that she came to visit me.“I wonder what took her so long to get there.” He adds while I watch him drink his water. “I’ll get it.”He nods and I leave the phone as I rush towards the door. Upon opening it, I see a smiling Gwyneth who quickly leaped towards me and gave me a sweet tight hug. “I missed you!” She exclaims. “I’m so happy I came.”I pulled myself away and smiled at her. She looked exhausted, “I’m so happy to see you being here.” I said as I gestured for her to enter and helped her with her luggage.“Damn Milo did buy a pretty nice house.” Gwyneth commented.I chuckle softly, “Yeah he did buy a pretty big house. I am kind of embarrassed just thinking about it.”“Oh Lindy, it’s for your safety that’s why he bought this place. It took him weeks to find this safe haven for you and your baby. Although he’s an

68L I N D Y “Welcome home Lindy!!!” I was taken aback as soon as the party poppers popped that came out of nowhere and I see everyone in this house greeting me with smiles on their faces. I see Lucius, Jasper, Silas, and Rowan who came all the way to celebrate this day with me which really means so much to me after what I have been through. It was the kind of support system that I needed after what happened to me and how these people are showing me an unconditional kind of love. These guys, whom I have always considered as my older brothers from other mothers, are all here and this means the world to me.

I missed you a lot."She makes me bawl my eyes out as I hug onto her tighter, "I m

67L I N D YSaint Francis Sanitarium had a different way of treatment which had been pretty much helpful for my recovery. They also had strict rules about visitors, no one was really allowed to see the patients who are under treatments like me to avoid problems, complications, and miscalculations. There were no cellphones allowed inside and Wi-Fi as well to avoid any social media. Although they allowed gifts from the outside, it was still hard not to be able to see everyone. I didn’t let my negative emotions get the worst of me because I had to be strong for myself and my kids and for everyone else who is waiting for me to head out of this mental facility. I faced this battle head on and even though it was hard for me to accept the changes that I have had, emotionally and mentally, I am still very thankful for the support that I am getting from my family, friends, and of course Milo.Milo has been sending me hand written letters every day which is something I always look forward to

66M I L OWhat did she mean by that?Did she mean it literally?Silence, there was silence between us and I was just utterly and indescribably confused. She didn’t answer while her eyes were looking all over the entire house. Her eyes looked like she was searching for something inside the house and at the same time, she looked like she was in distraught. She looked so lost, sad, and completely puzzled by her own thoughts inside her head.“Are you alright baby?” I holler.She nods and looks back at me, “Yes. Just…. Just a little… awake.”I tried to ignore what I heard from her about hearing them in her head and just walked towards her, “I thought you fell asleep?”She shakes her head, “I can’t.”“Did you even try?”She nods. “Yes. These days it’s just hard for me to sleep.”“Should we visit the doctor?”“No.” Her voice was firm. “No need for that.”I take her hand to mine, “Hey, let’s go back to sleep. Shall we?”She nods and smiles before we walked up to the bedroom.I still hear the

65M I L OThey were so tiny.Very tiny.So fragile. So delicately adorable. I stare at them from outside the glass window and my heart swells with these crazy emotions that are building up inside me the more I stare at how tiny and angelic they looked. Staring at them, I did not know that I could love more my sweet Lindy for carrying my little soldiers who are now battling with their own lives. I had no idea that these tiny creatures would actually make me feel much more whole in some way. I glance at the tubes and machines that were surrounding them to help them survive and grow and I know they are fighters and that they will grow stronger. I know. I know they will. I watch as their chests go up and down while they were breathing as they were moving their tiny hands around and subtly kicked their small feet. It was amazing how they looked and how their tiny movements could actually surprise me and amaze me at the same time. Absentmindedly, I am staring at them with a smile on m

64M I L OI laugh humorlessly as I shake my head sideways, not wanting to believe what I have just heard. No, this cannot be possible. There is absolutely no way. No. I had no idea that Ricky was this selfish and this heartless with everything that had happened. He is and has always been only thinking about himself and no other else. He only and always wants to save himself from everything when the going gets rough then runs away and hides like a frightful little child and pass the blame onto others so he can clear his name.This man is despicable, absolutely and horrifyingly greedy.“I am so sorry.” Ricky apologizes but the more he says it the more it makes me angry.“Ricky! How could you so selfish?!” Gwyneth screams at him..“Of course!” I exclaimed. “Of course you would say it’s me! You freaking asshole!” I pressed my clenched fist against the center of my forehead. I groan in frustration and in anger because I want to hit this person so badly. I want to hurt him as hard as I ca

63M I L OEver since my argument with Gwyneth, we never really talked as much as we used to. I understand why she was feeling that way and I understand why she had avoided me since she hated what I have done. Of all people, I thought she would be the one who would understand me because she is my sibling, but then I was wrong.She made me feel even worst. I tried to understand where her anger was coming from and obviously, she was gutted that I said and did those things to Jolene. I know she could not believe me that I treated Jolene that way because she has always hated it when I do things that hurt women since I was brought up by women too.I wish my words could change anything to what she sees me now but then I know I can never take back the things I did and the things I said to her.Sometimes I wish she could have understood me and why I had to do it.
