I let him.

I let him take me to his condo unit. I suddenly thought of Minda. Maybe he already knows. Will she hate me too? I don't know how to deal with him. She hates mistresses and I'm sure I'm not exempt from that.

My clothes are covered in icing, as well as my face. My hair is a mess and I can hardly look like myself.

"Clean yourself. I will buy you some clothes," he said calmly and handed me the towel.

I did not move from my position. I'm just stupid. Do I deserve all this?

"Tori..." Steven almost begged and put the towel on my arm.

I can't look at him. I'm ashamed of myself. Maybe everyone hates me. Maybe my customers already know.

"I'm sorry, I was late." he said almost in a whisper. "I caused you so much pain."

He caressed my cheek and wiped away the tears that fell from my eyes. I let myself lock myself in the bathroom. I cry while cleaning myself. I cried all the pain I was feeling while taking a bath. I didn't expect that. I never thought that would happen in real life.

    My son and I are all dressed up today.Minda and I plan to go to church today because it's Sunday. I am currently tying up my daughter's curly hair while she stands in front of the full size mirror in the living room. My son was smiling while I was doing that because he just had a bath.I smelled my son and almost choked."You really smell good, son! We're going to church today with Aunt Minda." I smiled at him in the mirror. "My son is really blessed. I will pray to God that he will give you a healthy body and many blessings."Minda came out of her room with her sandals. He grinned when he saw us and then sat on the sofa. He put on his sandals."I'll handle Zellor," Minda said when the sandals were on.He stood up and then looked at me."Huh?" I frowned and then we left in front of the mirror. "Why?"He folded his arms and then snorted at Zellor. "Steven might see him."My lips pursed for a moment before shaking my head. "Probably not. How will he end up in the Badian church? Well, i

    "Thank you, Sir Ethan," I thanked when we arrived.Minda came in with the shopping we had done earlier and Sir Ethan and I were left outside. Zellor's grip on my neck tightened, maybe scared because of what was in front of me.Sir Ethan shifted his gaze before he faced me and then looked down at my son who was now looking at him evilly.He chuckled. "Your child seems to hate me."I was suddenly embarrassed. "P-I'm sorry,"He smiled. "I didn't know you had a child."I avoided looking at him and looked at my son who still had a bad look in front of him. I lightly pinched my son's cheek and adjusted the hat. "Yes."When I looked at him I saw that he put his hand in his pocket and sighed."So, are the cupcakes still available?"I couldn't answer his question right away because Diana suddenly came and took my son from me."Thank you." I turned to Sir Ethan who was looking at my son so I was a little worried that he might recognize my son. I immediately answered his question so he wouldn't

    In my few days of baking, I have made thirteen boxes. Sir Ethan said that he will pick up the ones he ordered when they are done because he has a car. But I refused because he is my customer and delivery is one of my business services.But, he was really stubborn and just insisted. I was even threatened that he would no longer be bought if I insisted on what I wanted so I had no choice but to agree with him."Looks like your business is booming, Tori!" Minda said happily while combing her hair in front of the mirror.We are in the living room now. I count my income from my business."Finally!" I stretched when I finished we plp counting. I looked at Minda who was still facing the mirror. "I can help you too, Minda." I showed him the money. "I've budgeted everything and I think there are a lot of people enjoying the cupcakes. I wouldn't have gotten this far if it wasn't for you and Diana.""Where will you help me?" He stopped combing and looked at me."Don't stop. I can handle everythi

    I quickly dialed Sarah's number while running inside the hospital. I don't know if Steven is following me but I'm scared."Hey, gaga!" Minda opened to me when she answered my call. "Why did you call your son? Zellor is crying!"I suddenly felt guilty. I didn't mean it. I was just too scared. I also heard my son's cry on the other line, so I felt even more guilty.I was panting while running to the second floor using only the stairs. I stopped for a while due to fatigue and looked behind me to see if anyone was following me or not."S-Sorry" I said breathlessly. "I saw Steven!"I heard her breathing."Where are you? Are you running?" he asked me worriedly.I leaned my hand on the wall and took a deep breath."I-I'm on my way there.""We're not in the room, Tori. We're in the canteen!" he said, stopping me.When I looked behind me, I almost dropped my phone when I saw Steven. My eyes widened and my heart beat faster.I immediately hung up and put the phone on my chest because of nervous

    I cried. I don't think Steven knows yet. Everything was not according to my plan and everything was not at the right time and place. My heart ached and I just wanted to run away, how can I run away?"Hey!"I heard someone calling me. I was very scared. Steven already knows we have a child."Hey!"I was surprised when someone shook me. I took a breath and opened my eyes. My eyes were blurry and I couldn't see clearly who was in front of me so I had to blink. My lips parted when I saw Minda looking at me worriedly.I was so panicked that I immediately looked for Zellor. Where is Zellor? Did Steven take her?"Mind!" I held his hand. "Where's Zellor?"Tears started to fall from my eyes. I looked around."Tori, are you okay?" Minda asked worriedly and grabbed my trembling hand. "Did you dream?"I was stunned there. I immediately looked up at him and inhaled."Dream?" I asked in surprise.Minda nodded and hit my shoulder lightly. "Yes."He sat back next to me. "I'm a little worried about yo

    I was stunned. I don't know what to reply to his message. I was very surprised. I am afraid that one day, my son will disappear from my sight. I only came to my senses when suddenly someone hugged me. I gasped and my eyes watered again when I saw that it was my son."Mommy!" His hug tightened around my neck. "Am! Am!" He pointed to his mouth and snorted.I blinked and then picked him up. I put Steven out of my mind and tried to focus on my son."S-Son..." I swallowed and then looked at him again. "Mama loves you so much, huh? Remember that.""Mama! Lablab!" He snorted.I smiled. "I won't let you get away from me. I love you so much."We left the room and I made Zellor sit in the high chair. Minda bought the high chair some time ago. He said that Zellor needs it so that we can eat with him."Oh, are you going to eat?" Minda suddenly entered the scene carrying a cup. He sat next to Zellor and watched me take rice from the rice cooker."Looks like this Zellor is still full, huh?"I put t

    What the fuck? Wife?Until now, my heart is still haunted by what Steven said. The old man looked back and forth between us while Steven tightened his grip on me."Really?" the old man asked in disbelief. "I mean...before you and your wife had an annulment, right? I haven't heard about her—""She's now my ex-wife," Stevenna said coldly, seeming to be suddenly out of the mood. "Will you excuse us?""S-Sure..."When we passed the old man, I moved away from him. I could see that he was surprised by what I did. Here we are at the part of the party where there are not many people.The music is so low that I can hear my heart beating fast."Tori," he called to me.When I looked at him, his eyes were wide. I see the sadness there. My heart ached."Tori," he called me again.I looked away and hugged myself because of the cold."I kissed a random girl weeks ago," he said which surprised me. I looked at him and I could clearly see the regret in his eyes. "I was hurt. I thought she was you, so I

    What Kesiah said about Minda was true. Because the next morning, I was surprised that the floor of Minda's room was full of torn paper. I thought he was just joking but he was really serious about his decision to resign from that company just because of one reason."Minda, maybe we can talk about what happened last night. You've been with that company for a long time. It's a shame," I convinced while Minda was focused on her desk top.Minda blew out a breath and turned to me for a moment before returning her gaze to the screen."I really don't want to be there anymore. I just used what happened last night as a reason, even if it was superficial, to leave that company" He sighed and then printed another resignation letter. "I want to travel."I got tired and then sat on his soft bed. "You can take leave even for one month. Isn't that possible?"He snorted and then took his printed resignation letter from the printer."I don't want to see that idiot anymore. Is he an idiot to do that to

    I breathed a sigh of relief when he said that. Is that why she seemed like crying?"But," she trailed off."Aunt?" I called, fear returning to my chest.I thought Gabriel is already awake?"Can you talk to him now, mmm? We can't stop him from disappearing and we're looking for you," he said."Alright, Auntie! Let me talk to him!" I answered quickly.I stopped walking. A few moments later I heard the disturbance of the line on the other side and Gabriel's strained voice."Qotorie?" he called my name."Are you okay? Gabriel, thank God you are awake!" I said."I want to see you, Qotorie. Where are you?" instead he said.I bit my lower lip."Someone just went. But I promised you, Gabriel. When I get home, I will go to you immediately," I assured him."Tori, I want you beside me. Qotorie," his voice softened."Gabriel?" I called because he suddenly disappeared from the line."Hello? Gabriel?" I call again."Hija, it's his mom again. He fell asleep again. He was injected with a sedative so

    I almost died laughing at Serge. He is very entertaining. No wonder, he is seen on TV. Sage even added that he prepared a sexy dance performance for Calianna to the accompaniment of a popular song.Under the white lightIn the yellow moonHear my cryIn the yellow moonMy jaw really hurts from laughing. Sage is dancing like a macho dancer in a gay club."Mommy, I am going to pee," Zellor called out to me.I was about to get up to go with him but Steven made a presentation that he would be the one to accompany our son."It's me. I will have to answer a call, too," said Steven, slightly raising the cellphone and showing me that Mama Alora was calling him.I nodded to him and looked at Nina and Kalilah who were approaching me."I could never look at Sage the same way again," Kalilah said while sinking to the chair beside me."Oh, things we do for love," Nina said while also sitting next to me."Where is Davina?" I will ask."Mmm... She is with her babysitter. She's asleep," said Nina."V

    I bowed my head as my tears fell. Uncle Segismundo! Is that for me?"Don't ever give up on each other. Do not be fooled into thinking that love is supposed to be easy. It is not. It will never be. Because marriage is not just an occasion if it is not a relationship that forever that you both swore before the Lord," Tito Segismundo added.Steven, are you listening to him?You will be hit!"I wish you all the best. Give me lots of grandchildren, huh?" Tito Segismundo continued to laugh. Then, he raised his wine glass and we all did the same. "Let's make a toast to the new husband and wife," he concluded.Then, we clinked our glasses with the spoon just like in the traditions, signaling a kiss from them. Sage happily kissed Calianna as if there was no tomorrow."Bro, can't wait?" Serge groined again.Then he stood up. He pulled Steven, Davin, and Dallas upright one by one then pulled them to the middle, raising the wine glass they were holding."To finally getting our asses back together

    The reception followed at the resort. It was almost seven o'clock in the evening when the wedding ended. It was short but sweet and intimate. I looked around the event hall andfind it really impressive that in just a short notice, the resort staff were able to decorate the whole place grandly, it was very aesthetic to the eyes.The backdrop in front is made up of hundreds of white and pink colored flowers. The lightings around are just enough to light the mood needed by the occasion. And even though we were only a few of their guests, we were eating food.Sage really knew how to spoil Calianna.We settled on our assigned seats and waited for the mini program to start. In front was the newlywed, Sage could not get his hands off Calianna."Look at the horny man! Maybe that one is forgetting that we're still here?" I heard Serge say to Steven who was right next to me, referring to the groom whose face is now pressed against the bride's neck."Fuck yourself, Serge. Why are you so pressed

    I sighed as I laid my back on my bed. It is not that I am closing my doors for love. I also said and promised myself that I will love someone else besides Steven. But then, right now, I have no interest about finding myself a man. Besides, it is going to be unfair to the man that will come my way knowing that I am still in love with my ex-husband.I grabbed my pillow and threw it over my face.Steven Oxford, how could you forget?I regretted staying up that night because I woke up at noon the next day. With quick movements, I took a bath and put on the shirt Steven told me to wear, then, a white pants, and red rubber shoes for my feet. I'm just thankful that my hair is short and it won't take any more time because I'm really in a hurry.I glanced at myself on the mirror and smiled at the red printed shirt I was wearing. I folded the sleeves once. I knotted the hem at the navel then turned around and looked in the mirror at what was written there.#TeamOxfordI was distracted when my p

    One sleepover stretched into two. Wednesday and Thursday quickly passed by. We wasted no time to practice the performance we will do tomorrow. It was decided that Steven will play his guitar and on the other hand, Zellor and I will sing.It was the night before Friday when they told me to go home. Steven told me that he has to do something else. And I swear that it was the hardest. I suppressed my emotions and faked a smile while waving my hand at Zellor who was already there in the back seat of the car.I could not stop myself but go near him. The car windows on his side were rolled down and I took the opportunity to touch him. I smiled and gently caressed his cheeks."Mommy," he called me while peering through the window."Hmm?"I blinked away the tears in my eyes.Qotorie, when will you get tired?"I still don't want to go home yet. I like it here," he said as he looked up the floor above the café, my room, as he began throwing his tantrums again.We had to force a few times before

    We used to do this before. When Zellor doesn't have class and Steven doesn't go to work, the three of us go here. They will help me bake breads and cakes, then together, we will eat some after with a good cup of coffee for Steven and me and milkshake for her.Good old times.My lip quivered.Don't cry.Don't you dare cry right now, Qotorie!I eventually managed to keep myself composed all the while the three of us were in the kitchen. Fortunately it wasn't what I expected. Back then, when I thought that the three of us would be together despite our situation, the feeling would be very difficult. But to my surprise, it was the total opposite. We even managed to laugh and tease.While the pastries are in the oven and while I am waiting for it to be ready for the counter, I began wiping the marble top clean. I laughed and looked at Zellor when he came out of the kitchen to play with Sally and some of my staff.I thought that Steven followed him but he was behind me and I was surprised wh

    I hardly brushed the sleep off my eyes again, because maybe I was just dreaming or something.But they are really here!What are they doing here?"Daddy, we should buy Mommy the digital door locks with the censor. I do not trust this doorknob. Some thief might barge in," said Zellor while watching Steven as he was doing at my door."We will do that, baby. But for the mean time, this is a double lock first," answered Steven, giving my door another hit with a hammer in his hand.What are they doing at my door?And why are they both here so early?I feel so disoriented. I removed the blanket that covered my body and then left the bed. I hugged the blazer I was wearing as I walked near them."Mommy! Hey! You're awake!" Zellor exclaimed as he looked back at me and then greeted me with a warm hug.I squatted until our heights met.I returned the hug to him while looking up at Steven."What are you doing here?" I will ask.Zellor resigned and answered my question."Mommy, didn't you say that

    I couldn't move for a few seconds because I was so shocked. And when I did, I regretted that I had not made the slightest move.I tripped shamelessly on my own feet, almost, if not because of the man's quick movement, I must have been swimming with the garbage behind me."Oops! Careful!" he said, holding me tightly by the waist.I quickly got out of his grip, as if I was electrocuted, quickly moved away and straightened up, still catching some breath.I feel like my heart is in my throat. What is he doing here? At this time?He chuckled and shook his head, the dimples on both his cheeks left me speechless.I squinted my eyes and surveyed the man. I couldn't be wrong! He is the one I saw earlier in the café! He was the one that the customers were lining up and excited about earlier!The thought of those female customers and the I'll things they have said about my café made my anger rise again.And now, in front of me is the barista and the owner, and probably the one that created the c
