Just Got Lucky (BOOK 1) 36
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

37L I N D Y The following evening, after we drove Gwyneth to the airport for her flight back to London and bid her a temporary goodbye, Milo and I decided to have dinner in a restaurant. As much as I wanted Gwyneth to join us, she had to leave because she still had paperwork to finish we soon as she gets back. The paps were literally following us everywhere we went to and it was almost pathetically getting me a little annoyed. Despite the struggle of being surrounded and followed, I felt happy knowing that I was finally able to hold his hands in public again as we walked along the streets of Connecticut. It just proved to everyone who doubted our relationship that we are still together and that the news about our breakup was never true. There were even fans coming up to our table asking for a picture and Milo was just kind enough to smile for the camera and sign autographs. Personally, I think they should have respected Milo’s personal time since he was having a meal but then he

38L I N D YIn a blink of an eye, we arrived in Canada a day early than what we planned for. I skipped classes and told my professors in advance that I had a personal family problem back home that I needed to take care of it. They were generous enough to tell me that I can still catch up with the lessons and that I needn’t to worry because I had high grades.I was beyond thankful that Milo came with me and had to pay for the flight. He was the one who orchestrated that I should head back home and reassured me that he would not leave me in these trying times. I was glad he came with me, I needed him.When we were driving to the hospital where my mom was being admitted, my entire body just felt absolutely shaky because I cannot stop thinking and worrying about my mother. This was not the perfect time to tell them that I am pregnant and I think Milo understands this. My dad is already going through a lot because of my mom’s heart attack and I don’t want him to worry more for me. “Hey.”
Just Got Lucky (BOOK 1) 39
39L I N D YLater that day, Milo and I spent the entire time with my mother while dad was the one who settled her hospital bills since she will be discharged tomorrow. I was amazed at how Milo was so good at keeping a conversation going despite the age gap that they both have and he even made my mother feel a little happier. He was incredibly good at entertaining people.Dad decided to go home to shower and change his clothes so we decided to stay with mom for the night. I was beyond thankful that Milo was here with me and guarding my mom even if there was only one long couch for us to sleep on.“Where would you sleep?” I ask Milo as we lounge on the sofa while mom had fallen asleep soundly on her bed.“You don’t need to worry about that.” Milo smiles. “I can always sleep while I am sitting down.”“This means a lot to me, Milo.” I smile back at him as he pulls me in so he can kiss my temple.Suddenly the door opens and there enters Avery who had her eyes glued on our mom who has been

40L I N D Y“Are you pregnant?!”I squirmed inwardly as my tears were beginning to stream all over my face. “I am, mom. Dad.”Dad went undeniably speechless that all he did was crash back to the sofa and cried while my mom was holding him. It was really heartbreaking to see that both of my parents are crying and I am actually the reason why. At this point in my life, I absolutely didn’t know what else to do but to cry and cry.“Who is the real father?” Dad asks.“Milo.” I answered firmly and quickly. “Of course, it’s Milo.”“Why is Jake claiming that he is? What really happened to you while you were away from home Lindy? God, I don’t know where your mother and I went wrong.” Dad cries.I was confused too and I had no idea how Jake knew about my pregnancy, Moreover, why would he claim something that was never his in the first place? All of the words that Milo told me about Jake enter my head and how it’s making me feel more hurt thinking about it.“Dad, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.” I cri

41J A K E Hours passed after I overheard Lindy and her conversation with Milo through the phone, I decided to give her belly a study, I already thought of a good plan to redeem my fame back and to get me back in the game. It was not really that difficult, I just have to swallow my pride and focus on my dreams and what I want to do in life which is more important. “You look happy.” I pulled my head up and found Calvin joining me with my breakfast. I know he has been meaning to talk about the situation we are both in and I know he has been waiting for Lindy to leave for school. He had been totally annoying ever since he knew about Lindy and if only I wasn’t after his money then I would have dumped his sorry ass instead. “Yeah, I feel good.” I answered. He sits across me with that stupid look on his face which annoys me. “Why do you look at me like I did something wrong?” I can’t help but ask. “Because that girl is living in my freaking house!” “That girl is good.” I responded.

42L I N D Y Everyone in the courtroom was whispering discreetly to one another, which created a highly tensed environment. I cast a quick glance at Milo, who joined the group there to express his support for the ongoing trial. He smiles at me comfortingly, and with that, I started to feel a little better even though there is this constant pounding inside my chest and my head.It is going to be okay. I reminded myself numerous times and I think I had gotten used to having that as an incantation whenever things would go wrong.I returned the smile before turning to look at Jake, who was sitting in his chair and appeared to be frustratingly cool and collected which annoys me so much seeing him and that unbothered look on his face. Why does this cretin have such a professional-looking posture? He seemed to have done nothing wrong even though he is the culprit of this all. He really has the audacity to act as though he has not done anything wrong.This freaking bastard.However, I had th

43L I N D Y The night before the trial, it was hard to trust Calvin the moment I found him standing outside my house covered in bruises. I even thought that he wore make-up just to fool us.When he claimed that he had proof against Jake, my heart was elated but then at the same time, I was indecisive about trusting him. It was so hard knowing that he is friends with Jake. At first, I thought Jake used him as a bait to fool us but then the moment Calvin actually cried, like bawling his tears out right in front of me and Milo, I knew he was going through something.The revelations last night were an eye-opener to me that anyone is actually willing to ruin anybody’s career and life for their own benefit. What hurt the most is that I thought he was actually a well-trusted friend of mine but turns out that he was just using me for his advantage.Milo and I felt pity for Calvin and what he had gone through. At the same time, we were so thankful that he tried to speak up and approach us be

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!

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.
