I couldn't move from my seat. It feels like something is stuck in my throat and I feel like I want to throw up what I ate. "W-What did you say?" I asked in disbelief. I sat up to be ready for what he had to say next. For several years, I didn't think I was even married. "The annulment paper you signed is not real. Shashalyn is not aware. They thought our marriage was real, but that's where they're wrong." He further explained. I pinched my forehead because of its slight sting. "Where is my father?" I don't know either but that's the question that came out of my mouth. I saw that he was stunned and just swallowed his saliva. "Stop trying to lie to me Luke, you found my real father?" I asked him again. "No. To this day I still haven't seen him." He answered me and I closed my eyes tightly. "I'll take care of it," I answered and stood up. "It's up to me to find my father. Thank you for your persistence in finding him.” I said next before sitting in my swivel chair. "Let me help,
We had fun talking while driving to the mall. Harold was driving and Anna was in the passenger seat while me and the twins were in the backseat.Lucia was busy playing on her tablet while Lucas was just watching from the car window."You'll ride rides whether you like it or not." I turned to Anna when I heard what she said.I noticed Harold shaking his head quickly."You know I'm afraid of things like that, especially tall ones, love." Harold answered."If you really love me you will go with me." Anna frowned.I couldn't help but laugh at her childishness.Look at fate, she only liked Luke before, but now she can hardly let go of Harold."Don't force it if you don't want to." I suggested and Anna looked at me with her eyebrows raised."Ah just!" He just answered and I couldn't help shaking my head.When I looked back at Harold, I couldn't paint his face because it was obvious that Anna was in a bad mood.I ran my fingers through my hair before looking out the window. Lucas was also lo
I woke up because of the shaking around. When I opened my eyes I saw Lucia's face, with a beautiful smile on her lips as she jumped on the edge of the bed."Come here. You might fall." I said nothing and she quickly came to me before lying down and hugging me tightly."Good morning, mommy!" She greeted me enthusiastically."You woke up mommy right away, princess." Lucas said, frowning.I couldn't help but giggle, and soon his face was wrinkled again."It's okay. It's good that you woke me up. I must be late for work." My answer."But mom, who's the guy outside?" Lucia asked me. I looked at Lucas and he was just looking at me seriously. "We looked alike." she said the next thing and it made my heart skip a beat.I stood up quickly and looked at my face in the mirror."Are you okay mom? You look pale." There was a trace of concern in the tone of Lucia's speech so I faced her and gave her a wide smile."I'm okay, I have a visitor but I just woke up." My excuse."Actually he said, we shou
I cooked their favorite porridge. I also thought that I don't need to prolong the anger with Luke.Why should I be angry? What should I be angry about?I heard footsteps and looked to see who it was. I saw Luke rubbing his eyes.He just kept walking until he reached my place and I didn't expect what he did.He hugged me from my back and buried his face in my neck. I also felt that he was smelling that part so I blinked."Stop." That was all that came out of my mouth and Luke quickly distanced himself from me.Luke looked at me as if he didn't like what he did."I-I'm s-sorry." He apologized and I just gave him a small smile and it turned into a grimace."No, it's okay. You sit there and I'll set the table." I suggested it to him. "Are they still asleep?" I define the twins.He answered me with a nod.I just set the table quietly, I could feel Luke's warm gaze on me so I forced myself not to look at him to reduce the feeling."Aren't you going to eat with me?" Luke asked me."Why do yo
The tension increased even more when the twins requested that we sleep in the same bed. Even Lucas is interested and is now on Luke's side. The twins were in the middle of us and we had to hug them both."Don't you like daddy, mom?" I swallowed what Lucia said."It's not like that, princess." Which is my answer."Why don't you hug him too?" she asked again.I was startled by Luke's touch on my arm before Luke put his arm on mine."I love you mommy, I love you daddy." Lucia said. It was as if someone caressed my heart because of her words.I can't blame them either. During that time we were the only three who were always together. They almost recognize Harold as their father but this is different. I feel different now, especially since their real father is the one they are with now.A few minutes passed when I noticed that their breathing was deep, a sign that they were sleeping soundly. I gently removed the rest of Luke's arm and carefully stood up from the bed.I can not sleep.I'm n
I was so happy seeing my twins with their dad together.As many say, all women or people in the world dream of having a harmonious and happy family.At this time I can say that I am one of those people. I was one of those girls who was happy because I felt how to be happy again with Luke.I couldn't even go to work. I just called Kim that I can't make it so the meeting with the investors will just be moved to tomorrow.We are now at the park near the condominium where we are staying. The four of us go for a walk and make the most of every time we spend together."I love you." I turned to Luke because of what he said and smiled at him."I know." I answered and leaned on his muscular shoulders."The twins are so happy, they just feel so light. I wish I could have held them when you gave birth to them." I couldn't help but feel pity because of what he said."I'm sorry." That was my only answer because I really didn't know what to say.It's like Luke was deprived because of what happened,
I sat in my swivel chair and rested. I remembered again what Luke said this morning, it must have stuck in my mind so I could hardly focus on the meeting earlier."Kim." I call"Yes ma'am." It was a quick answer for me."Is there a meeting left?" I will ask."Actually, it's gone ma'am. It's all over." She smiled and answered me. "You just need to sign it then it's done." she said politely."Okay, then." I answered with a smile and Kim left my office.None of Salve's men was on guard. Nothing messes with the life I have now, but I'm still not satisfied.Today is also the night that I will visit the mansion of Uncle Salve and Aunt Trisha. I can guarantee that I will also see Shashalyn there, so I can already see in my mind the possible consequences if we meet in the same place, especially when Luke is still with me.At exactly four in the afternoon, Luke came to the office. He picked me up to go home for a while to visit the twins."Mommy and daddy will be home late, okay?" I said to th
I woke up because of the movement of the bed. I couldn't sleep well because of the thoughts. I know Luke is like that too, but I don't know. I don't know either because I don't even know why I can't talk to him.I felt Luke stand up and then he entered the bathroom.He's taking a bath.I fumbled for my cell phone that was on the side table and checked the time. It's only three in the morning. I immediately closed my eyes and turned away from his behavior where the bathroom door was opposite. It was like I was being chased by a zombie and had no choice but to pretend to be asleep so they wouldn't see.I closed my eyes as the bedroom door slammed shut.What could be the problem then?I was annoyed as several minutes passed but no Luke came through the door again. I couldn't sleep anymore and I went to the twins' room.They were sleeping soundly and I approached Lucia's place. I caressed her hair and fixed her favorite penguin toy that she always hugs every night."I'm sorry baby, mommy
"Did you see her at school?" My mom asked me. I just focus on my phone while scrolling on Facebook."Yup." I answered boringly.“Did you see her as a woman–”"Mom here we go again, I don't like her, so stop pushing me to her. I don't like her, she's too cool and noisy. She likes a stalker so please mom, tell her mommy to tell Elle that even if it's for a few days or at least she's going to stalk me–” She patted me on the head."Are you deaf? Elle is kind and beautiful. I have no other woman to accept besides her. Starting today, you will take her to their house."“Mom–”"That's an order, so please. If anything happens to her, it's your fault!” After saying that, she turned her back on me and left the kitchen.I dropped my spoon on the plate. Ever since school started, I've been bringing her to their house on purpose because that's what Uncle Salvador said. So who am I to say no? And damn, my mother said, how can I continue with my plan to stop her from being delivered to them?When yo
Elle's POVWe arrived at exactly 3AM at the hospital. Luke's hand was shaking. That's why I hold his hand and squeeze it."Your hands are shaking, can you please calm down? Leo said he's okay now." I was shaken by Luke's actions.“I just–”"I just what?" I cut off what he had to say.I know that he hasn't been with his father for a long time but I never thought that he would react like this. While on the way, he never stopped telling the story of everything that happened.I just listened to him the whole ride, and even though I wanted to react to what I learned and what happened then, I couldn't do anything.Besides what happened and all that is in the past.And I think this is the final chapter of our story."He's inside but he still doesn't wake up." Luke's face couldn't be painted by Leo's words."I'll take care of it Leo, you can go home now. Thank you.”"Just one call." I nodded at what Leo said. I opened the door and went inside.We brought him to the VIP Room so that he could l
Luis' POVHe's smart, my grandson is a smart kid. He took his father's wisdom.I know Luke's getting angry with me when he sees me here. I met Trisha in the prison where I was assigned. I'm the one who makes her flee for some reasons, instead of her hiring someone else to do her plan to do bad things for my son, Luke's family, I'm the one who agreed to get her out of jail.I will end up with a woman like her.I will not make the same mistake in the past where I almost killed his wife. Salvador ordered me to do that to his own daughter. How cruel is he? That was the mistake I made and that day when Luke saw my face and he let me leave, I left all the property with him, especially the company. He even gave me money even though he knew I had a lot of money.I even started what I wanted. It was not my plan to run the company before, I really wanted to be a police officer and because of the late Mr. Copley, I need to take care of it and leave behind my dreams to become a policeman.That's
Luke's POV We left immediately at the unit, with me Harold and also Kevin. In fact, we don't know where to start looking but I know they haven't gone far. It's either they're still here or they've left. But how will Trisha do that without Salve's help? I glanced at my phone I was holding. Aunt Elizabeth's name flashed on the screen, I answered it immediately and her deep breathing caught my attention."I'll text you the address, Trisha has a lot of staff so don't go alone." "Where are you! Come back! It's too dangerous–" "I'm okay. I'm hiding. Come quickly!" She said and ended the call. We immediately got into the car and wasted no time heading to the place she texted me. It is a remote and isolated place. The trees are almost passable and I can't fathom the idea that there is another person behind all of this. Trisha would not have been able to take such a step if she had no other help. If it wasn't Salve then who?Leo's POV I walked closer to the gate where Trisha's staff was
I woke up with all the lights off in the room and only the lampshade on the side serving as light. I glanced out the window and it was dark outside.I slept too long and didn't realize it was night. I was still holding my stomach that was growling due to hunger.I was about to stand up when the door opened and the light came on. My eyes narrowed due to the glare and eventually I saw Luke standing as he approached the bed. It carries a tray containing food.“Dinner in bed?” I was shaken by what he said."That's right, I just woke up and my stomach is already churning." I answered and sat down. "You're preferred huh?" I'm still laughing because it has a small table laid out on top of the bed."Always, my wife." I was shaken by the answer. "Just for you." He went on to say that this is why I'm secretly excited because if I reveal it and he sees that I'm excited and affected by what he's saying, he'll definitely laugh at me.The ending is that I was just annoyed by his perfect face by cha
Luke's POVLooking at her sleeping sound and sleep make my heart flutter, she still affects me. Why did I end up being his husband?Our parents are friends and because they are friends, they pushed us both to work out.At first I didn't see her as a woman. She used to be naughty and pay too much attention. But when I confront her that she is making too much of a scene in her life which is not what I want, I want my life to be private and it depends on me who I talk to.Mom, what to be Elle is my priority especially when I go home. I still have to send her to there house instead of being able to go home early and rest.But one day because of annoyance I didn't bring her home. That time she called me so many times but luckily I answered one of her calls.She's on the run because someone tried to grab her, she almost got raped and that's where it all started. That's when she started avoiding me. Yes she said thank you that day but the next day she also started avoiding me. I was so mad t
I was standing here on the veranda. Drinking cold milk and overlooking our wide yard.One week had passed and we were back at our house. All is settled, everything is back to normal.There is no calamity to think about tomorrow.You just need to wake up in the morning, do our stuff and that's it. Since it was Saturday, I also thought that the twins would go back to school again.Dad and Aunt Elizabeth are still here. They were here for a month before they decided to fly to America next month. I didn't object because it was their right, it was their happiness and I am happy that I have a brother.Daddy won't be alone anymore, he has a new family and I'm happy for that. I am also happy to see my father healthy and strong so I will give them their freedom. Even if I wanted them to come home and stay here, there was nothing I could do about it.Sashalyn? I'm happy for her. She finds her happiness with Doc. Andes. Sashalyn has also received a donor for her eye. Now they are taking care of
Luke's PovI woke up and saw a white ceiling. I can't feel my arms and legs but you can barely move my head."Luke." Hard voice of someone.I couldn't face it directly but I could feel footsteps approaching."He's awake! Thank you God!" The words of a woman."Does anything hurt?""Call the doctor, Eliz."After saying that, Aunt Elizabeth came out.He is crying now while looking at me. Salvador Lindsay is in front of me who you think is a child because of crying.I smiled at him then he chuckled."I thought you wouldn't wake up. I'm not crying because of you. I'm crying because if Elle finds out about your condition, she might stop talking to me and hate me."I tried to talk but I couldn't. My mouth didn't open and it was as if the words I wanted to say we're just stored in my brain."You can't talk right now because of the drugs that were injected into you. It's good that you remembered us." He said laughing while wiping his tears.I stared at the ceiling and thought of my family.How
My mind and heart are tired. I was tired of thinking but I focused more on the twins and Eli. I was watching them play on the ground. It's been a month. We have been staying here for a month I believe and trust that he is okay and will come back to us. I also avoided asking because I didn't get anything either. I went to the kitchen and got some fruit from the fridge. I peeled the apple and cut it accordingly. I have also peeled an orange and grown grapes. When I finished, I came out of the kitchen again and put the fruit on the center table. "Thank you, mom." Lucia said smiling. Eli just quietly picked it up and smiled at me. I hope that my father and Aunt Elizabeth were okay. That they are alive and find Salve so they can come back and be with us. I was about to eat the apple I was holding when I heard a noise outside when suddenly we heard gunshots from outside. I quickly approached the children and hugged them. "Fuck! What are those?! C'mon get up!" Kevin helped us to sta
