Chapter 1

"This is yours!" Sigaw ko Kay Keith ng ipagpilitan niyang hindi niya anak ang dinadala ko.

I struggled from the grasp of his body guards as I continue telling him that this child, growing inside of me is his.

"Can you shut the fuck up, Barbara. It's not mine, therefore I will not take responsibility for that. Go and abort that thing, If you want! " dumagundong ang boses niya sa loob ng European-style office niya.

He was sitting arrogantly in his swivel chair as he watch me being dragged by his body guards.

" Thing?! You called this kid a thing? No! You enjoyed rocking your hips back and forth, spurting your seeds inside of me at ng nabuo ay ayaw mo na?! " I yelled at him." Gago ka ba?! "

" I don't care of whatever you said, Barbara. Let's just say anak ko nga 'yan but my wife is pregnant, I don't need two heirs"  He's eyes shifted to my womb "And besides, you're just the mistress. You have no rights"

I could no longer identify the emotions I'm feeling right now, I felt like my whole being is being dumped into a basin, no a tub of cold water.

"How.... how could you.." I said as I flinched a bit when I felt a slight throb in my belly. "You said you love me... that you're willing to divorce Sasha to marry me..."

By what I said, Humalakhak ng malakas si Keith, it's not by humor but sarcasm.

"At naniwala ka naman? Barbara, You should have known by now.... I love Sasha so how could I divorce her?" Ani niya bago tumayo at lumapit sa akin bago hinagip ang panga ko at pinisil ito. "I only dated you out of need"

Tinampal ko ang kamay niya ng makapiglas ako mula sa mga bodyguard niya, I pushed him so hard but it only moved him by inch.

"Here's the thing, You leave without me killing that child? or you stay while I took that thing out of your stomach with force? choose wisely.." He said as he grinned widely.

Napakuyom nalang Ako sa aking kamay sa galit.

For him, this started out to be a mistake, and it will remain as it is!

How could he!

"I'll do as you say then, But don't ever approach me and this child ever again"

" Deal, dear mistress" Sabi niya sa patuyang paraan, that made me grit my teeth in anger.

'Stupid Bastard'

I took my sun glasses off as I seated comfortably inside our SUV. After, Like seven years of being in America, The warm air of the Philippines welcomed me and my beloved, Lev, who was busy looking at the map I gave him earlier.

"Love, It's hot in here." reklamo niya. "I don't think I can live here till September"

I chuckled as I give him a kiss on his cheek and lips.

" You said you wanted to meet my parents, Love, so bear with it for a while, Honey."

Ngumuso siya para pigilan ang ngiting sumusupil sa kanyang labi, he just nodded before spreading his arms, asking for a hug.

"Fine.... Maybe just for a while, I want to meet Grandpa and Grandma, Love." Sabi niya sa maliit na tono na ikinangiti ko.

I carried him in my arms as we walked out of the SUV na sumundo sa amin sa Airport kanina.

"Lev, remember everything mommy has teach you, okay?"

" Okay, Mommy. " Ani niya na may kasamang ungot bago naisipan atang bumaba at maglakad tungo sa mansiyon.

" Lev!! " Sigaw na bati ni Mom mula sa balkonahe ng Mansyon, Hawak Naman siya ni Dad na kumakaway-kaway pa sa amin.

" Grandma! Grandpa! " Sigaw ng anak ko bago kumaripas ng takbo papunta sa loob.

Nakasunod naman ako sa kanya habang natatawa.

It has been so long. Nilibot ko Ang paningin ko sa buong Estate namin, The pathway that is made with limestones is still intact with no crack or damages. Through the side of the pathways were now filled with flowers and tree's.

It never change.. It's still the place were I was raised.

"Love! Aren't you coming?!" I was brought back from my reveries ng tinawag ako ni Lev na nasa balkonahe na pala at karga na ni Dad.

"I'm comin', don't start the fun without me 'kay?" I said as I went up myself.

No matter what happens, I'll take care of that smile of yours Lev. I'll fight to keep you. You are my treasure after all.

"Eh? You're not gonna stay here till December?" dismayadong tanong ni Mom sa akin while we were in the garden for an early tea to relax.

I nodded as I took a sip and watches how my Lev and my Dad plays with Lyubov, my pet tiger.

"Yeah, Mom. Marami pang pending na mga financial reports na hindi ko pa nababasa. And besides Lev's Tutor wants some meetings with me from time to time." sabi ko pa habang pinipilit ang sarili wag tumawa ng makitang dinadambahan na ni Lyubov si Lev habang si Dad naman ay parang wrine-wrestling ang alagang tigre.

"That's too bad." Saad ni Mom, habang kumakagat sa cookies na kanina niya pa pinapatikman sa akin.

" But we'll be here on Christmas day, Mommy." I said to lighten here mood not minding the screams I've been hearing kila Dad at Lev.

And I think it worked, Mommy's eyes were twinkling as she grabbed my hand.

"That's good, Honey. Nice decision"

I smiled as I turned to Dad and Lev who was now being chased by Lyubov. I was startled when I felt a soft thing that rubbed on my right leg, It was just Liebe, another exotic pet i have, he's a male Fennec Fox and was rescued by Dad a long time ago and was given to me.

"Hello, Liebe. It's been a long time" I said as he climbed into my lap.

" By the way, Darling. About Keith----"

I cutted Mom off as I sneered after hearing that bastards name.

" I don't wanna hear anything about him, Mom"

Sabi ko habang hinahaplos si Liebe, Dad and Lev is nowhere to be found but it seems that Lyubov is still chasing them.

I reminisce how I made a mistake dating Keith and becomes his mistress, out of his lust.

I don't wanna hear anything from him, after all I was just the mistress, and I don't want anything that got to do with him.

"I know, Sweetheart. But you have to hear this.... It's urgent." Ani niya na parang nababahala siya, so to rest her assure.

"Fine, What is it?"

Mom hesitated and the worries in here eyes never left.

" Keith... Keith is out to get you"
