I woke up early to go to Kristel. My parents left early, so I was free to leave the house. I first went to the mall to buy a cake because I planned to hang out with her now since she filed for leave from her work. I don't know why that woman did that.
I was about to take the elevator when I saw Lianne and Liro entering a store not far from where I was standing. I smiled because, finally, the obstacle in their lives was over. They would have been happy if I had met Hiro earlier and found out that Liro was not the man I was with that night. I hope Lianne's relationship with Mommy is still good. I'll just pray that they get along someday.
I immediately entered the elavator when it opened. I was about to close it when a hand stopped it and I was surprised to see Liro, who had entered. My eyes widened as I looked at him. Wh
As time went on, I became even more uneasy here inside Kristel’s condo while Kevin was next to me and looking at me worriedly. I wanted to talk to him right now and explain to him, but my nervousness is eating me at what would happen. "Cassandra, I know your cellphone is expensive, but can you put it down first? Why don’t we just have fun this day?" Kristel said while looking at my phone that I’m holding right now. I looked at Kevin; he was just next to me and also looking at me with concern. I know he’s confused right now but that brat, Lihiro made my stay uneasy. I’m gonna kill him once I see him. Kristel held out her hand in front of me, so I had no choice but to give her my cellphone. "Cas, can we talk?" I looked at Kevin and I saw different emotions in his eyes. "I'll just prepare the foods in the kitchen. I think you need to talk first." Kristel said, and leave immediately for me and Kevin to talk privately. "How are you, Cas?" He asked and there was sadness in his eyes. “I
The two of us were quiet inside the car. I remember Liro. I left him at home. For sure, he’s looking for me, now. But I don't want to talk especially when this man beside me is not on the mood.I thought he was in Europe? How was he able to get here so fast?“It's hard to love you, Love.” I looked at him when he suddenly spoke. My forehead furrowed because of he said. I could not understand what he was trying to convey."A lot of filthy shit surrounds you," he added. I don’t know if I’ll laugh or not. I just smiled unconsciously while shaking my head. What a great man this is. So he flew from Europe to the Philippines because of this?"And now, you're smiling there while your boyfriend is so damn angry and jealous here." I looked at him. When else did he become my boyfriend?"First of all, I don't have a boyfriend because I'm married." I teased him, and his face darkened even more. He pulled the car to the si
I immediately pushed him away, and he looked surprised at what I did. "I'll go inside again." I told him and turned around and started walking inwards. I still heard his calls, but I ignored them. Whatever he was thinking was not right.When I went inside, I went straight to my room. I faintly sat back on the bed, thinking about what had happened to Liro and me earlier. I tried to put that out of my mind. I preoccupied myself with things to do in the room while waiting for me to fall asleep.At eight o'clock in the evening, my eyes were still wide open. I picked up the phone and saw Hiro's message there. He sent a photo of himself on their veranda with strawberries behind him. "This guy is making me jealous of food in his house," I said to myself as I scrolled down the photo he sent me.I saw some of those foods place at his desk. Foods that I usually crave now.“Love, what do you think?” The message he sent to me. I went down to the kit
"Look at her, she’s really fallen asleep." I’m not sure if I can really hear Hiro or if I’m dreaming. I’m sleepy, so I close my eyes and drift off to sleep. The next day, when I opened my eyes, Mommy's face was exposed to me. What is she doing in my room? "Mom?""Get ready. Today is the first hearing on your annulment." My eyes widened as I looked at her. Oh my God! Is that now? Why did I forget? Shooks! I’m so stupid.I was in a hurry to fix myself. I just wore a simple dress that I paired with flat shoes. We had breakfast together and went to our first meeting with Liro. This may seem easy because we both agree to it.When we got to the hall, we saw Liro there waiting for us. He was not with Lianne. He looked at me sadly, but said nothing. He was with his lawyer. I am quiet for the whole session. Only answer if necessary. Our meeting with him came to an end. Mommy was the first to go out with Atty. I was about to follow her when Liro called me, so I turned to him."Can we talk?" He
Liro approached me without taking his eyes off of Hiro. I know he didn't see Hiro's face. I also know he has a lot to ask me today. I can see it in his eyes right now."Liro-""You're cheating on me?" I was stunned by what he said. I was shocked and unable to move because of his accusations against me today. What does he mean? Cheating on him? And so?"Who's that man?" I could see anger in his eyes, and I could not understand why he reacted like that. I was going to explain to him now, but I thought, why should I explain to him? Who is he in the first place? We’re not into something romantic and he knows that."What are you doing here?" my brows furrowed when I asked him. As far as I know, my parents forbade him to go to our house.“Why don't you answer me? Who's that man?"“Stop being a jealous husband, Liro. There's nothing between us, and I think it's none of your business if I have a boyfriend." I said what I should hav
I didn’t replied to Liro or even Hiro. I returned the phone I was holding inside the bag. I don't understand why Liro's text is like that, but whatever it is, I don't have to understand that anymore. It only makes my head, ache.“Are you okay, hija?” I looked at Ms. Santola and smiled in response. Liro and Hiro are messing with my mind. Maybe it’s their talent since they are twins.“Tell me if you're hungry. Let's stop over to buy food." I was a little embarrassed. They really care about my condition."I'm fine, Aunt Liva. Thank you." I tried to show her my genuine smile so she wouldn't worry any more. I don't want them to worry about me. That's too embarrassing. They are too kind.When we arrived at their ancestral house, we were immediately greeted by servants. As in Hiro's house, they also wore unusual clothing. Is it really like this with them? It looks like their maids are just cosplaying at home. They are beautiful and
I stared at him. I still can’t forget about this Artaya girl and what Uncle Leone said earlier. When he saw my glaring eyes, he pouted as if it made him cute. "What are you doing here?" I arched my brow when I asked him. He slowly approached me with his hands in his pockets. I did not take my eyes off of him. He maybe thinks that we will be okay with just his smile. "Are you still mad?" What does he think? That I'm happy? He doesn't tell me anything about his past. He thought maybe I was okay, but I wasn't. And he actually asks me if I'm mad. Seriously? "What do you think?" I asked him rudely. I could see the smile on his lips and that made me even angrier with him. Why
That same night, Liro and I didn't talk about them anymore. I let him tell me everything about himself or any connection to his past without commanding him. I enjoyed my stay at their ancestral house. His family gave me a warm welcome. Though, sometimes Lihiro annoys me intentionally.Just now, I am currently eating with Aunt Liva, Aunt Stea, and Aunt Lhera. We were in the kitchen having coffee because I didn’t go shopping with Thria. Because I get tired quickly now and I also prefer to stay at home rather than wander."Mom, why is Cassandra here? My jealous brother didn't allow her to go with Thea?" Lihiro asked. I stared at him as he went to his mother side and sit to the vacant chair. It’s as if he doesn’t want me here. Hmp."No son, Cassandra chose to stay here, so she's here," her mother replied, while Aunt Stea simply put strawberries on my plate. I am so shy as I look at her. I just smile and say, thank you.
Hiro and Cassandra ride in a truck as they drive down the road away from Acuesa's ancestral house. Eve fell asleep in Cassandra's arms while she and Hiro sat quietly in the back of the truck. Hiro held Cassandra's hand. She looked at Hiro and saw the sadness in his eyes. Hiro smiled at her and kissed Cassandra on the forehead. "I'm sorry," said Cassandra. Hiro smiled at her and shook his head. "It's not your fault. I keep in touch with Agui so I know everything.” "But, our arrival is the reason why we are leaving now." Cassandra said feeling guilty. Hiro kissed her on the lips as Cassandra's tears fell. “I'm going to die if you don't come. You and our daughter save me." Hiro said and wiped the tears from Cassandra's eyes. "But Hiro-" "It's fine, love. I trust my brothers. I dedicate my years for the family, this time, I choose you and our daughter.” Cassandra was stunned and couldn't stop the tears in her eyes. She buried her face in Hiro and silently cried while hugging her dau
I'm glad to see Eve smiling now and playing with her father. Only their laughter filled the garden. They must have been playing for almost two hours.I was able to cook and everything, but they are still playing. So did Hiro. Sometimes, I see him emotional while looking at his daughter laughing."Mama! Papa is funny," my daughter shouted with a smile as she ran away from Hiro. The smile on my lips disappeared in shock.I also saw Hiro stop running when he heard what Eve said to him. My eyes widened as I looked at the two of them. I do not know what to do. As things happened so fast, all I could do was watch him.He was stunned for a moment and turned to me in disbelief. "Dad?" I immediately called Eve. He immediately came to me. "Come in first, love." She slowly nodded and went inside. When I looked at Hiro, there was something on his face that seemed to be struggling. I looked away. "She called m-me papa?""H-Hiro-""I-I'm s-sorry," I was surprised by what he said. What does he mean?
I was outside in Eve's room. I call her to come to me. She didn't want to leave the room because she was still sulking at her dad. "Come, love. Join me in the garden." I told her. "Mama!" She grumbled because she didn't want to come. I frowned because she would just lock herself in the room again all night and playing mobile games. It’s not good to her health. "Alright. Come on. That’s enough. Listen to mama." I said and forced her. I don't know why but people left the house one by one to the point that only me, my daughter and Hiro were left. Even Lianne and her daughter are not here. I don't know if I'll be happy or weirded out. I chose not to mind it and forced Eve to come with me. Since I am the only one left here, I will also take care of the chores here inside the house. When we arrived at the garden, I could see the face of my daughter who was surprised while looking at the butterflies in a large ward with flowers covered with net. "Wow mama! It's beautiful!" My daughter
Eve fell asleep on my lap. I don't know what will happen tomorrow and the day after. She is too young to understand everything.When I left the room, my sister exposed herself to me. She stood in front with her back against the wall. I looked at her without emotion."Even if you look different, you can't hide me your true identity.""What are you doing here?" I thought she was going to answer my question but she just passed me and entered the room where my dautghter was sleeping. I hurriedly followed her inside."What-" I couldn't finish what I was going to say when Lianne suddenly hugged me."I'm sorry, Cassandra." I looked at her in wonder. I don't know why she is apologizing to me now."Sorry for what I did to you." I was shocked by what she said and was not able to move immediately. I didn't know what to say so I kept silent.“Trust me. Everything will be fine from now on.” She added. I was just stunned until she got out of my room.Confused, I followed her to hopefully talk to he
Later on, when I had finished everything my work, I went upstairs to get Eve.I saw her sleeping at her father's lap while Hiro was peacefully watching his daughter sleeping peacefully.When he saw me, I immediately approached him to pick up Eve."I'm sorry," I said. He just smiled at me. His smile is so peaceful. Here is the weight on my chest again as I look at him. I want him back to normal. God, help Hiro."Mama," my daughter woke up. When she saw that I was carrying her, she immediately turned to her father."I'm sorry, I fell asleep." Eve said apologetically."It's fine, princess." He's still the same. Even though he lost his memory again, he still treated our daughter like a princess.Get well, Hiro. We are waiting for you.I was about to say goodbye, when suddenly a child ran towards Hiro."Daddy!" The girl shouted. Eve and I watched as the little girl climbed into bed to hug Hiro."Daddy, I missed you." We all heard what the little girl said. But I was worried about my daught
When we arrived at their house, we were immediately greeted by servants who were new to me. So it’s true that all the staffs here were new."Are you the new maid?" The old woman said with a grim face. I nodded and held Eve tightly. When she looked at my daughter, I felt Eve hiding in my back.“Come in,” she said.We followed her inside. There were many armed men inside even in the the outside. Everyone was staring at us as we entered. Eve and I just kept quiet until we got to the maid's quarter which is our room.As a personal maid, it's okay to bring a child as long as we can't go out until the contract ends.My job here won’t last long. It’s only 4 months because it is said that they will returned Hiro to Europe. So that means, I only have four months to escape Hiro."I don't like stabborn child here so you better behave," she said to my daughter. Before we went here, I already told Eve what she’s going to do. She also knows who we came here for.My daughter is a smart kid so I knew
After a month, we were in Hiro's ancestral house with my daughter. A lot happened back then. This is all possible because of Luca. Without his help, we would surely have a hard time here. ------ As we prepared, Agui arranged the things I needed to bring for my trip to the ancestral house of Acuesa. I'm also arranging my belongings so that everything is ready by the time I leave. I will leave Eve with Shia at Hacienda Seya because it is too dangerous for me to take her to the Ancestral house where her dad is. "Are you ready?" Liro asked as he confronted me. I nodded. In the past weeks I already readied myself for this day. "You know what to do, Cassandra." He said. I know that. I have been preparing it for so long. I just need to know the condition of Hiro, if he's okay and if possible, I will take him out there. We will escape together. "Cas," I looked at Lihiro. He's worried as he looked at me. I approached him. “Be careful,” I whispered. He hugged me. "Tell my brother, he
When I wake up, it's already morning. I first saw Shia looking sadly at me. I got up immediately but I was still weak so I lay down again."Don't get up first. Just take a rest more." She said. When I looked around the room, I wondered why I couldn’t see my daughter."Where is Eve?" I tried to stand up to look for my daughter but Shia stopped me."Don't worry. She's at school. She's on her way home now." She said to me.I looked at Shia in surprise. Why at school? Didn't we just go home earlier?"You maybe wondering but you've been unconscious for three days." My eyes widened when I looked at her. Three days?Sam suddenly entered. She was carrying another bowl with soup."You're awake," she said then put the soup down next to me. I also saw Stallion next to her. When our eyes met, I saw him looking at me sadly.He came over and climbed into bed. He immediately hugged me. When I last saw him, he was like eleven that time. Now, he is quite big and tall."Don't be sad big sis," he said
I knew Lihiro and Stallion were following us. He was silent earlier when I said that in front of him.Surprisingly, the two children are also quiet now. They didn't ask about it before.I didn't even speak until we got to our house. Sam and Liro were already there. I wonder why. What happened? I thought they will took so long in the hospital. The car is parked near the house.Eve and Atlas got out of the tricycle. I just paid and carried their bags. "Mommy, are you okay?" I looked at Atlas. I smiled at him and kissed him on the cheek."Yes, love. Mommy is okay." I answered. It was obvious on his face that he was not convinced by what I said. He hugged me tightly."I love you, Mommy. Don't be sad.""Thank you, love. I love you too." Atlas smiled then entered the house first. When I looked at Eve, I saw she was looking at me intently."Mama, you're not okay." She commented."Are you thinking what that man said? You're talking about papa, right? I hate papa, mama." My eyes widened when
