Chapter 4
Months passed, my belly grew bigger, but it wasn't a barrier to continuing my studies. My pregnancy wasn't a hindrance. I was thankful because my classmates never judged me, and I even made a friend, Elaine Balandra Achaso, who was half-Filipina and half-Spanish. I always teased her because of her face. She was kind and affectionate to me. I asked her for the food I craved, especially since her mother loved to cook delicious meals. Days and months passed quickly, and it was our graduation. We were all so happy because I had overcome the challenges that came my way, both for me and my child. It's no joke to study while pregnant, especially when you're nearing your due date. "Congratulations to both of you, especially my daughter Rhian, because despite your condition, you graduated summa cum laude. We are all happy for your success, just keep going, we are here ready to guide you, daughter," Mommy Matilde said to me, making me cry with happiness. "Thank you very much Mom and Dad, because of you, it was possible to get up and persevere to finish school. To you too Elaine, because you are always there by my side whenever I want something to eat, you are always there to give them," I said to them, and we hugged in joy until I suddenly felt my stomach ache, making me grimace at the feeling. "What's happening?” Dad asked me, making everyone look at me. "Just for a moment, my stomach suddenly hurt like I was about to give birth," I said, making them panic at what I said. Dad carried me while Mom supported me to lessen the pain in my stomach, while Elaine and her parents carried my things. We soon arrived at the hospital. As we were getting out of the car, something suddenly popped in my middle. I thought I was peeing in my panty, but Mommy, being paranoid, called all the nurses to take me to the delivery room immediately. Apparently, what came out was amniotic fluid, so my stomach ached continuously, and I felt like something wanted to come out of my pussy. "Mom, it's like someone is going to come out of my pussy, I can't stop it anymore, it's going to come out," I said to them. "Just a moment, we are near the delivery room," Mom said while still supporting me, even though I was already in the wheelchair. A few moments later, I was immediately taken inside. Before I could even fully enter, I couldn't hold it back anymore, so I let out a gasp. Luckily, a nurse was alert and caught it, and thankfully, Mommy had already removed my underwear while we were still in the car. "You crazy kid, thank goodness the nurse caught it, or it might have ended up on the floor, our grandchild," Mommy said to me. I just smiled at what she said because she really considered me and my child as part of their family and treated us like her real children. It's a shame that their daughter died, if she were alive, she would be about my age. Until I was helped to lie down and told to push gently to get what was inside out, until I felt like something was coming out little by little until my vulva was cleaned, then they put on an adult diaper, then dressed me so I could be transferred to the room, where my adopted family was waiting. I didn't realize I fell asleep after they dressed me. I only woke up when I heard the wheels and noise of other patients and the movement of my bed. So I immediately opened my eyes. "I'm sorry, I fell asleep!" I said to them. "It's okay Ma'am, it's our job to take care of you!" she said to me. When we arrived at the room they rented for me, they immediately opened the door, and they greeted me and welcomed my little angel. I smiled at what they did and couldn't help but cry because I felt the love I never experienced from my parents from them. "Thank you, thank you all," I said to them, as my tears flowed. "Shhhh, don't cry, child, you might strain yourself. You know how beautiful our grandchild is, she takes after me!" Daddy said. "What do you mean yours? Hey Alfonso, our grandchild takes after me," Mommy said. Which made me laugh at their antics. "I'm so lucky to have you, because you became my second parents. I just wish you were my real family so that my child wouldn't experience what I experienced before," I said bitterly to them, as I thought back to what I had been through since I was able to think for myself. "Don't think about that anymore, child, what matters is that you're here with us," Mommy said. "Hello everyone, the little princess is here," the nurse said while pushing the stroller where my child was. "Oh, my little princess granddaughter," Daddy said. "She is really beautiful Madam, who inherited everything from you and Señor. After all, his mother also inherited your beauty," the nurse said, making us smile at what she said because they didn't know that we weren't related by blood. "Owww, thank you very much nurse," Mommy said to her. Until she said goodbye after they moved me to the bed and my little angel too. Then my classmates arrived, including my beautiful best friend. They all brought things for my child. I was happy with what they said. And I was also happy because I never heard any mockery from them.Chapter 5Years passed, days and months went by, and I became one of the most famous models in the world. Today, we are celebrating the birthday of my princess, the princess of our lives. Mommy Matilde named her.She is named Angie Suarez. At the age of 5, she has already achieved so much in school. She's intelligent, cheerful, kind, beautiful, and affectionate. She inherited her beauty from her father, not from me.I can't help but remember him. I am just grateful to the Almighty that I inherited my kindness and affection from him.Well, that was before. I will leave that in the past because Rhian is different now—no longer the one who was ridiculed and always wrong in the eyes of my former parents.I have long forgiven them, but their shattered love for me can never be restored. Then someone offered me a modeling contract for their clothing line. Even though their brand wasn't well-known, I accepted it immediately because it was my way of helping promote their creations.I’m not lik
Chapter 6Andrew's POVI'm currently in my own office. After all this time searching for Rhian, I still haven't found her. Every private investigator I've hired has come up empty-handed. They say someone's blocking their investigations, preventing them from getting the information they need to locate Rhian."Is this the price I have to pay for what I did?" I ask myself. "If so, I hope we can at least talk and I can find out if our child is alive," I continue, questioning myself."Sh*t," I mutter angrily, throwing the glass of wine I'm holding. The glass shatters, wine spilling everywhere. I run my hand through my hair in frustration, angry at myself. I call the cleaning crew to clean up the broken glass.After they finish cleaning, I immediately send them away. Then, one of my friends calls, and I answer right away."Hello!" I answer, my voice lacking enthusiasm."I saw her!" he tells me, making my eyebrows furrow in confusion."Who?" I ask."F*ck Buddy, she was with a little girl, an
Chapter 7The next morning, I woke up in our mansion, not remembering how I got back. I brushed aside the confusion and went straight to the bathroom to start my morning routine.It didn't take long for me to finish showering.After my morning routine, I went out of my room to head to the kitchen. But in the middle of the stairs, my amazing mother scolded me."Good, you're finally awake!" she said. "What have you been up to, huh?" she added. I didn't answer, just continued walking."Andrew!" she called, but I ignored her. "I'm talking to you, don't be rude. Where were you last night? I'm trying to talk to you, so answer me!" she added, but I still ignored her.I was still angry at her for forcing my sister to marry a Mafia member. She lost a huge amount of money in a gambling game, a game that destroyed our family. Dad left because Mom was always at the casino. She took it to heart when she found out we lost over two billion at the casino, especially when she learned that my sister wa
Chapter 8I noticed what she said; it seemed she realized I wasn't comfortable being with them. Based on my observation, she was different from the two women who always flaunted their daughters. I smiled at her comment and excused myself before heading to the garden to answer my friend's call."Hello?!" I answered, and it was none other than Julius."Buddy, are you free right now?" he asked.I smiled because this was my chance to get away and avoid my mother. "Yeah! Why?" I replied."Come meet me at INDAY'S BAR; I don't have anyone with me right now," he said, sighing. It sounded like my friend had some problems, so I immediately asked."Do you have problems, Julius?" I inquired, but I only heard another sigh before he answered."Aish! It hurts, Buddy," he said, sounding like he was coming from a breakup."Okay, I'll come to you," I replied, then hung up.I returned to the dining room to politely excuse myself. Even though my relationship with my mother wasn't good, I still had some r
Chapter 9Rhian's POVAs I was getting ready for my meeting with Andrew, my daughter walked in, amazed at how I looked."OMG Mommy, you look so gorgeous and sexy! I wonder why so many men want to court you, even though you have a daughter," she said. I smiled at her words and immediately kissed her cheek, thanking her for the compliment."Ohhh! Thank you so much, my sweet and lovely baby Angie," I replied to my only daughter."Wait here, Mom! I have something to put in your hair," she said, hurrying off to her room. Though I was curious, I waited for her in my room.A moment later, she returned with a silver hairclip designed like a butterfly, adorned with diamonds in every detail."I made it," she said shyly. "I hope you like it, Mom."She placed it on one side of my hair. I was speechless from its beauty."This is lovely, my child," I finally managed to say, filled with admiration. For such a young age, she had created something so beautiful."Do you like it?" she asked, her face be
Chapter 10I looked at him and smiled as if I hadn't experienced the turmoil he put me through yesterday.'Yes, I've moved on, but the pain in my heart still hasn't healed. It's like a fragile thing that, once broken, is hard to put back together, with a scar etched into it,' I thought to myself while raising an eyebrow at him."Yes! Mr. Jackson?" I asked formally."A-ah, n-nothing," he stammered, making my eyebrow raise even higher at his reaction.But I quickly turned my attention to Eli, who was speaking and furrowing her brow."You two know each other?" Eliana, my manager, asked.I quickly responded to her question."Yeah!" I said, causing Andrew to look at me."Ohhhh! Can I know how you two met?" she asked again. I just smiled because I knew she was teasing me."I met him during a part-time job at a fast food restaurant," I replied."Rhian," he said, probably thinking I would deny where we first met.I smiled before continuing, "Where I fell but wasn’t caught," and I followed tha
A Familiar Face and a New OpportunityChapter 11"Excuse me, Miss! Are you looking for me?" A woman asked me, her voice familiar. I knew it was my former manager who had arrived.I was facing away from her, so I took a step back to get a better look. When I turned around, her eyes widened in disbelief, blinking rapidly as if she couldn't believe who she was seeing."Oh my, Rhian Suarez, is that really you?" she asked, still in shock."Yes, Ma'am Mira, how are you?" I replied with a smile, my voice warm."It's you! You're so beautiful now, and so famous. You know, I have every magazine that features you," she said, her voice filled with pride. "In fact, you're a big fan of my son, Sebastian. Remember him? He was in your batch at the university. You know, he's been crushing on you for a long time, but he's just too shy. Even though you have your own child now, he still talks about you all the time," she added, making me blush at her words."Thank you," was all I could manage to say.
Chapter 12It was Tuesday, my first day at Jackson Company, where I would be modeling for their perfume.As I was getting ready, my daughter came in, wanting to tell me something.“Mom!” she said. Even though she was only 5 years old, she spoke like an adult, unlike other children her age who still stuttered.“Yes! What does my dearest baby want?” I asked her.“Can I come with you?” she asked, making me pause what I was doing. “I promise I’ll behave, and I want to watch you work!” she added, making me sigh. “Please, Mom!”I had no choice but to agree.“Okay, okay! But promise is promise, okay!” I told her. “You have to keep your word.”“Yay!” she exclaimed, then quickly ran off to her room.I continued looking for something to wear. I finally settled on a summer dress with a sunflower pattern, yellow and blue, which made me smile. I got dressed quickly and waited for my daughter on the sofa. A few moments later, she came out with a smile on her face, wearing a dress just like mine. We
