**Fancy's POV***# Five Years later“Miss Fancy, you look so good. Why don't you star for one of these magazines? I'm sure they'll be glad to have you,” Tina said, with a smile. “There you go again. I prefer working as a designer, rather than working as a model.”“I know that's what you prefer, but that doesn't mean you won't become popular once more if you decide to take on your career again. You have no idea how my friends marvel whenever they see you.”“Tina, can you stop talking about my past? I bet you, no one remembers I was a one-time celebrity. It's just you and your friends,” I said with a roll of my eyes. “Miss Fancy, why do you seem on edge whenever your career is mentioned? Do you despise who you are that much?”“I don't despise who I was. Tina, it's been five years now, and I'm sure you heard about how I suddenly stopped being a model in New York.”“But that was a long time ago. By the way, you became pretty famous back in Mexico. Why didn't you continue?”“Tina, can we
**Fancy's POV**Just as I came out of the principal's office, the closing bell rang. While waiting for my boy, I couldn't help but worry about what the future would be. Was it wrong for me to want to give my boy the best education? My son has been a smart kid since he was a year old. He did things kids his age couldn't do. He began walking at seven months and pronounced words clearly in a year. Everything about Nathan was early, and I was called the mother of a genius. Nathan made me a proud mom even though we had nothing to our names. “Mom!” The sharp voice of my son immediately snapped me off my deep thoughts. I quickly raised my head up and saw him running towards me. Immediately, I crouched down to his level with my arms open wide. The moment he rushed into them, I whisked him up into my arms. “My love… I missed you!” I said, twirling him around. Nathan giggled in my arms as I placed soft kisses on his forehead. “I missed you, mom!” He said, holding me tight. I felt so ove
**Fancy's POV***“What? She's giving you two months upfront?”I nodded my head with a smile on my face. “My goodness, Fancy. Though this sounds nice, don't you think two months is far too long? I know you need the money, but I told you that you can always come to me. Did you forget?”Tina asked as she helped me put on the gas. We had both closed from work, and she's in my house specifically to ask me what the boss and I discussed. “I know you're only trying to help me, Tina, but I don't see that much difference, you know.”“What do you mean?”“I'll feel the same way, even if it's you who have me the money.”At this point, Tina walked over to where I stood and took both my hands in hers. “Look at me, Fancy?”I slowly raised my head up to meet her eyes. “I know what it means to have people by your side, and I'm telling you I'm with you every second, every day.”I looked Tina in the eye and smiled. “has there ever been a day when you weren't there for me? You're like the sister I never
***Fancy's POV***I froze the moment Nathan said the words. My goodness! At this rate, I'll not be able to keep any secrets from him. "That's not true, Nathan," I denied, tears gathering in my eyes. "You know it's true,mom. Your eyes are watery whenever you lie!"I let out a shocked gasp at the words of Nathan. Immediately, I walked over to him and placed both my hands on his cheeks. "Sweetheart, please don't say that about mummy. You have no idea what's going on?""Tell me," he said, looking sadly into my eyes. I shut my eyes, trying my best to hold back my tears. I opened them slowly and caressed his head. "Son, you know I want you to always be smart, watching TV all the time wouldn't make you focused on your academics.""But I'm smart," Nathan mumbled with pouty lips. "Come on, Cupcake, let me tuck you in for a good night's rest."He smiled and opened his arms wide. Without time wasting, I pulled him into a tight warm hug. "Mom?""Yes my love.""Can I ask you a question?""Of
**Kyle's POV**“Ouch!”I shouted and winced in pain. “Careful doc, that's quite painful,” I complained. “This is why I warned you last month to go easy on the games. At this point, you might have your shoulder damaged for good, and you know what that means?”I raised a brow at the doctor. “what does it mean?” I asked. “It means you'll have to kiss your hockey career goodbye. I guess that's not what you want.”“Wait, is it that serious?”“It's more than serious. If only you had listened to me not to go for the games, it wouldn't be this bad.”“Fuck! I can't afford this now. I have an important game next month.”“Well, I'm afraid, Mr. Kyle, you might have to let this one go.”What is the doctor saying? There's no way I'm letting go. It's more important than life itself. It's highly important that I win this game. “I'm sorry. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do what you're asking me to do.”The doctor stared at me confused. “Kyle, I've been the one taking care of your shoulders since
**Fancy's POV**The moment we landed in Mexico, Nathan couldn't help glancing around. “Mom, is this Mexico?”“Of course, darling. This is Mexico. You're finally home, my darling!"Nathan smiled while peering around. “Will I be meeting grandma and grandpa soon?”“But of course, I bet they can't wait to see you!”Nathan giggled. What he didn't know is the fact that we were going to the hospital to visit his grandpa. I couldn't tell him earlier because I know he would have plenty of questions to ask, and honestly, I do not know how I'm going to answer those questions.Just as I came out from the airport arena, someone waved at me, giggling, “Fancy!” I smiled so brightly and called out, “Nora!” She rushed towards me and dove me in a tight, warm hug. “Oh, my God! It's been so long since I saw you. I missed you so much!” Nora squirmed in my arms as she hugged me. “I missed you too, best friend! It's so good to see you again.”“Me too.” Just as we were done having our little emotional enc
***Fancy's POV***We arrived at the hospital with a sleeping Nathan, since we can't leave him in the car. I couldn't help but feel anxious at the moment. "Fancy, breath please." I spun around to Nora with a worried gaze. "I'm trying, it's not easy Nora, I feel like I'm going to pass out from anxiety.""Hell no, you won't! You're only going to meet your parents, it's not rocket science, Fancy. Please, just for this moment, free yourself from the shackles of the past."I shut my eyes, took a deep breath then exhaled. Nora was right, it wasn't as though I was being carried to the slaughter house to be killed. After preparing myself, we all headed to my dad's hospital room. Reaching there, I knocked on the door lightly and I heard a familiar voice say, " come in."I froze at the door at once. “Mom?” I called in my thoughts and slowly took my gaze to Nora, wide eyed. "I honestly have no idea she'll be coming today," Nora whispered, raising her hands up in the air. I had thought I'd meet
***Fancy's POV***After hearing what my father was suffering from, I marched to the doctor's office to inquire more. "Doctor, Please tell me just how severe my father's illness is and how much it costs." It's not that I have that much with me, but I sincerely just want to know how I can help my father. "Miss Fancy, it's great to see you again. How long has it been?" "More than 7 years now," I said politely. I remember that it was this hospital my father was admitted in, when he had the car accident. "Fancy, I know what your worries are. Your father actually suffered aplastic anemia, and the only way to get him back on track is through a bone marrow transplant."I didn't bother breaking down anymore because my parents had told me earlier and I had cried my eyes out. What I want to know is how much it costs for it. My parents have no idea how much because they are only trying to get drugs that could sustain him for the time being. "This is heartbreaking, doctor, I must say. So, to
**Fancy's POV***Just as I exclaimed, he came out of the kitchen, wearing an apron, and carrying a tray containing food. I was shocked to see this.“Hi! Glad you're back. Please have a seat,” he said, placing the tray on top of the dining table. I couldn't believe my eyes, and this was because it was a rare sight, seeing Kyle in an apron making dinner. I have known him to always order a take out. If my guess is right, the only time I've seen him serve breakfast in bed was the morning after our first sex. He wasn't wearing an apron then, so this looks like a different level entirely. “Mom, take a seat already,” Nathan urged and only then did I realize I have been standing in one spot and staring at him with eyes wide open in surprise. I slowly walked over to the seat next to Nathan and sat down. Kyle served Tamales for dinner and the aroma undeniably made my mouth water. Nathan was the first to take a bite and he exclaimed, “Hmm this is delicious!” he said, licking his lips with e
**Fancy's POV***As soon as I left Kyle's car, I took a taxi to the hospital to sew my dad. Since it was morning I'm sure my mom was there too. Just as I had thought, the moment I opened the door to my dad's room I was shocked to see my mom there just as I had expected. “My goodness! Fancy, you didn't let us know you were coming.”My mom said, staring at me with surprise. “I'm sorry mom. I know I should have informed you but I wanted to surprise you,” I said with a smile but realized I wasn't even carrying a flower, since I was coming to see my dad. “I'm so sorry dad. This is indeed my bad. I should have brought you some flowers.”“Oh come on, honey. You're all the flowers I ever needed. I'm glad you came to see me.” My dad said with a smile. Just then, I noticed him looking behind me. “What about my grandson? It's been a long time since I last saw him.”“Oh, about Nathan… He's actually in school, dad.”“That's good.”My dad said with satisfaction. “Fancy, may I have a word wit
**Fancy's POV**I creased my brow, wondering what the maid wants at this time of the night. I strolled to the door without asking if it was Ophelia or someone else. I quickly opened the door while adjusting my robe from my shoulders, but I instantly went pale when I saw Kyle at the door. I froze where I stood with my gaze up at him. “What do you want!”“Please don't sound this way. I only wanted to speak with you.”“About?” I asked with a creased brow. “I wished to know if you found the place adjustable.”I heaved a deep sigh and slowly came out of my room. “Well, I'm sorry you already know how I feel about this place.” I said, walking ahead of him at a slow pace. “I actually have no idea. That's why I'm asking,” he replied behind me. I quickly paused and turned around to face him. “Kyle, stop trying to win favors with me. Who you should actually care about is our son, not me. Don't think because I'm here with you, I've completely forgotten what you did!”He went silent for a wh
**Fancy's POV**After touching my face, I looked in the mirror and let out a low gasp. My face had changed and looked healthy. At this point, while staring at my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't help the tears that dripped from my eyes. I wished things were better. I wished all the things I suffered were just a long nightmare.But if they should be nightmares, doesn't mean Nathan wouldn't be real? The mere thought alone made me shake my head at once. I've lived with Nathan for so long, and living in a world without him would be torture. So, at the end of the day, I have to stick with the bitter truth that Kyle and I have a bad blood that can never be reconciled. Though I truly hope that things could change. After dressing up, I decided to go down for breakfast. Just as I descended the stairs I spotted the dinning being prepared by Ophelia. But something else caught my eyes that made me freeze for a few moments. I was shocked to see Kyle and Nathan all seated quietly on the dini
**Fancy's POV***I can't believe I had slept until it was 8pm, and I only had to wake up when I heard a loud knock on the door. I slowly stood up from bed and went to get the door. To my surprise, it was the laid, Ophelia, who helped me transport my luggage back to the room I realized I was originally given. When I found out that it was necessarily Kyle who wanted that, I couldn't help but bad mouth him for what he didn't do. I heaved a long deep sigh after my luggage was transported back to my own room. Now I at least have a space of my own to avoid bumping into him because it's definitely not something I want to be doing in the coming times. The day went on smoothly. After dinner, Nathan decided he preferred to watch his favorite night sports before going to bed. I had wanted to refuse him like I did back at home, but then I somehow felt guilty that doing that in his dad's house was me trying to take away the privilege of him being in his father's house. I mean, who am I to tell
***Kyle's POV***After the business meeting, Ai just couldn't wait to get home. Though Ray had told me earlier that they had successfully settled in the house. But then, I was still a little worried, especially with Fancy. I wonder if she's okay with the villa or if she despises it as much as she despises me. “Mr. Kyle, we are pleased the meeting is finally over,” Mr. Sheriff announced as he stretched out his hand for a handshake. “I'm glad it's over as well. Now we can all go home and have some rest.”“You're right. My son's birthday is tomorrow. I need to take the earliest flight back to Mexico.” Sheriff stated. When he mentioned, son, I couldn't help but think about Nathan. I wonder what day Nathan was born. The only person who can actually give me these details is no one else but Fancy. But then I wonder if she'll tell me. She seemed to hate me with so much passion and I understand why, though. After bidding farewell to my colleague, I went to my hotel room. Before leaving, I
***Fancy's POV***I didn't realize just how tired I was until I heard someone say, “We are finally here, ma'am.” I wasn't a deep sleeper, so it was easy for me to hear whatever was said in my sleep. I sharply opened my eyes, only to see Ray staring back at me from the front seat. “Ma'am, we are finally at the Villa now.”“Oh, I dozed off,” I was explaining, but Ray shook his head. “It is highly understandable, considering the journey is quite far.”I slowly took my head downwards only to realize that I wasn't actually the only one who slept, but Nathan as well. After asking all the questions in the world, he finally fell asleep. Wonderful! “May I help you with him?” Ray offered, but I whiffled my head. There's no need for that, Ray. Don't let our matters affect you.” He quickly got the door, and I carried Nathan on my shoulder as I came out of the car. But what I met made me freeze at the spot where I stood. Never in my wildest dream did I ever think this is Kyle's Villa. My goodnes
**"Fancy's POV***Just as I took Nathan into the house, I was shocked to see my mom in the living rooms carrying a confused expression. "Fancy, whose car was that, dropping you off outside our apartment?” If I told my mom about it, she'll surely go ballistic. But if I don't tell her about it, she'll become curious and suspect that I'm beginning to hide things from her. I don't want any of that and so the only way out for me is to tell her what she wants to hear. "Mom, give me some time to get Nathan ready for bed, I'll explaine everything to you.""Alright honey. Have a good night's sleep my darling." My mom said to Nathan and he quickly rushed towards her and kissed her on the cheeks. "Goodnight, grandma..." Nathan said climbing up the stairs in excitement. "My goodness! What could have made Nathan this happy, I wonder?"I know my mom is confused about today's happenings because I never told her anything from the very start. I wonder how she would feel after I tell her now. After
***Kyle's POV***This was like a blessing in disguise. If I had known Nathan would act this way just so me and his mom could be together, I would have tried my best to plan something up with my son. He didn't have to go into hiding this way. At this point, I wouldn't deny the fact that my son is more courageous and bold than I was when it comes to fighting for the things we want. Ordinarily, I know Fancy would rather die than agree to be with me for the sake of Ethan but at this point, I wonder if she would still feel the same way. This was because, earlier when I saw her crying over Nathan, I knew she loved him more than life itself. And honestly this made me feel less of myself. I thought that I didn't deserve to be called a father at all. Fancy's love for our son seems to supersede whatever affection I have for him. But then, I will not discredit myself by saying I do not care for my son much. Seeing him cry broke my heart. "What do you want to say?” Fancy asked impatiently but
