“I don’t think I’m getting your point, Marga.” Aunt Lou quickly reacted.I moistened my dried lips before I clarified everything to Aunt Lou once again. “What I meant about that, was that not only I was framed for cheating on my husband. But I was also framed for betraying the whole Montefalco’s after this allegation that I sold off the multi-billion project of the Montefalco’s to the Alforques.”“You did what?” Aunt Lou’s eyes squinted from annoyance. “I didn’t do any of that, Aunt lou. I don’t even know how operations work in their company. Although, Justin indeed tried to intrust the project to me before the accident, but that was the last time I even had the chance to work on it. Following the accident i’ve been through, I never get the chance to be in the office anymore.”“If that’s so then why are you being framed up like this. That allegation is seriously damaging you entirely, Marga. It isn’t right that you just let them do as they please to you when you know for yourself tha
The question made me stare at Aunt Lou for the next moments. “I haven’t.” I honestly told her anyway. There was no sense trying to keep it from her in the first place since she knew that I didn't intend to speak about the child inside me. “I’m glad you didn’t.” She eventually reacted.“You know that I don’t intend to tell them about the baby no matter what. I just don’t think my in-laws, especially my husband, deserve to know the truth about my child.”“I’m glad you knew that. Now what do you plan to do?” Aunt Lou questioned me. And although that would seem to appear like a normal question, it was actually more like Aunt Lou’s way of telling me how she badly wanted me to decide that I should sue the Montefalco’s and to avenge myself against them.However, knowing the Montefalco’s, I would only be wasting my efforts if I were to make that move right now. They have all the riches that they could easily use against me. And surely, the wouldn’t just let someone like me get my way against
THE FOLLOWING DAY. I woke up at the delicious scent of the delicious breakfast she was preparing. I wasn’t even able to go to the bathroom first to have my face washed.Before I knew it, my feet was already able to bring me to the kitchen where Aunt Lou was currently busy toasting, frying and even making sure that the stew she was preparing were all good.It made me wonder what could be the occasion why my aunt was suddenly preparing something that was not only smell delicious but also feels like mouth-watering. “What’s the celebration for? You seemed to have prepared too much.” I went on to react the moment I saw the dinning table with quite a variation of dishes laid upon it. It surprised me really, because from what I could recall. Aunt Lou’s husband and two daughters were away in Vancouver where her sister-in-law was based. Her husband was relocated there due to work.Aunt Lou believed it would be more practical if she would just send her two daughters with their father in Vanco
“Do you really still have to go?” Aunt Lou asked for the nth time as I make my out her house. As soon as she told me about what happened to grandma, I immediately rush to get ready so that I could go and check on grandma. Aunt Lou was kind enough to inform me where Grandma was rushed today.“Aunt Lou, Grandma is different from all of them. She has been very good to me throughout my stay there.” I turned around to explain. And yet, the way that Aunt Lou looked at me says that she was not realy convinced. “If that is the case, then why didn’t she believed you?”Of course, Aunt Lou has a point. If my statement was truly factual, then grandma would have believed me first more than those framed up things that ruined my name towards the Montefalco’s.Suddenly, it made recall grandma during that night when I gave her those cookies she so longed to have. It reminded her of her late husband who worked so hard to become successful.“Grandma reacted the way someone who has been betrayed by the
Panic instantly coursed through my entire body. Regina was still trying to check on her phone about some messages that she seemed stressed to respond that she didn’t seem to bother that the elevator had already opened. Before she could even lift her head up and see me, I don’t even know why but a mysterious hand rapidly pulled me to the side and saved me from getting caught.My eyes followed Regina’s movement until she headed her way out of the lobby’s entrance.Following that, my eyes quickly turn to the side and found no other than Aunt Lou’s secretary Janine.“Good gracious, Janine. You scared me, but you know what, thank you for saving me back there.” I immediately told her after puffing out the excess air out of my lungs. I was relieved, really. Knowing that my encounter with Regina was too closer for her to finding out that I was actually here. “I saw you stammering before the elevator like you’re not on your senses. I knew I had to make some actions.” Janine immediately ex
“You want me to disguise as a nurse?” I promptly said soon after Aunt Lou handed over the uniform she borrowed from an outgoing nurse.“Didn’t you say you wanted to see your grandmother-in-law?” Aunt Lou brought up what I intentionally came here for.And for some reason, I actually didn’t expect that she would eventually say that to me.“Aunt Lou, what if I get caught?” my worries left me extending my hand to give the uniform back to her as if I was indicating that I didn’t want to pursue with her plan. I was afraid to risk getting caught.Had I not been pregnant, perhaps, I might have considered this option so that i could sneak my way in just to see grandma. However, knowing how strict the security was around Grandma’s room right now, I couldn’t simply risk getting caught and be thrown out away by force again.I had suffered more than enough to get miscarriage, but I suppose, life has just blessed me to have this child inside me holding on despite all those hurdles I’ve faced. Which
My Aunt Lou grins at me with a satisfied remark flashing across her face. I knew that she liked my decision even though I knew that it would be risky.“So, are you insinuating that since Justin and my mother-in-law left they wouldn’t return right away?” I suddenly asked since I wanted to be sure that what I was doing would be the right thing.“Actually, this video clip was taken earlier today. Meaning since arrived here quite noon already, you should know that we are no longer certain if your husband and mother-in-law were still outside or if they manage to get back right away.”And that was when it eventually registered inside my head that indeed, Aunt Lou could be right. Another thing was that I saw Regina earlier coming out towards the hospital entrance as she continued to tinker on her phone and completely ignore the whole world around her.She should just be glad that I didn’t even bother tripping her foot so that she could fall. Eventually the fear of getting caught because of h
Aunt Lou asked the young resident doctor, Dr. Kanishk to help me with my plan to see Grandma. I had one earplug attached to my right ear that I just hope they wouldn’t notice. I was afraid that this would make some impact on my plans to see grandma. “You’ll be fine. Just relax.” Aunt Lou promptly told me as though she had sensed the nervousness I was having since this plan had be raised by her. It wasn’t that I was actually blaming my aunt for this, however, I was really hopeful that there could have been another way.But with the circumstance being too complicated, it was too impossible for me to really accomplish wanting to see grandma up close without going through the conflict of facing my in-laws.“We’ve already the surveillance and it would appear that neither of your mother-in-law or your damn husband is inside. It would seem that they really left things with an unfamiliar woman. I really haven’t met her before.” Aunt Lou informed me of the details and I was sure she was refe
