Third-Person's Point of View Everyone at the mansion was ecstatic when an unexpected visitor arrived on Saturday morning. He was carrying two large baskets containing various fruits and bottles of her mother's homemade jam. There were two boxes of cheesecake still inside his car. The servants at the Begum mansion rushed to greet him after not seeing the matchmaker in a long time. "Where are our Christmas gifts, Miss Felicity?" the servants asked in unison. "Christmas is over, girls," he told them while rolling his eyes. "You promised all of us you would give us gifts. You're unfair, Miss Felicity," Daldalita blurted out like a child. Other servants agreed with her, nodding their heads. "Yeah, I did, but Christmas is over," Felicity reasoned out. Felicity could see the protest and disappointment on their faces and he kind of enjoyed it. "There is still Valentine's Day," Daldalita hissed. "Why, do you even have a heart?" Felicity teased her. "Ouch! That's rude. Maybe I
Elyana's POV I awoke in the middle of my sleep when Felicity crossed my mind. I was certain that he was the one supporting me inside the restroom. It felt like a dream to me, but my room left a scent that I knew he owned. My head no longer ached, and my stomach didn't feel sour. It was almost ten o'clock in the morning when I checked the time on the clock, so I assumed he had already left and gone home. It stressed me out, thinking he had already left and would never come back. I couldn't understand why I was even crying about that. I hurried down the stairs to look for him. I had reached the lowest step when I realized there was a growing child inside my womb. I completely forgot. Fortunately, I did not fall or slip while in haste. I simply slowed down before anyone saw me and reported me to my parents. I went to the living room, but nobody was there. No servants were on sight for me to ask about that gay. The next place I thought of checking was the kitchen. It was nearly
Third-Person's POV Felicity locked himself in the bathroom after he unexpectedly felt strange the moment Elyana's skin touched his. It seemed there was a high voltage of electricity crawling onto his skin, giving him a fever-like feeling. He couldn't believe he would be static and terrified at the same time by what he felt. He hid inside the toilet to get away from Elyana, but Elyana followed him. He felt he was in a horror movie, getting chased by someone to hurt him. The knocking stopped after a while and he heard people talking outside. "Ma'am?" He heard Daldalita. "I have medicine for an upset stomach if you need some," she continued. He tried to listen to see if he could still hear Elyana's voice before opening the door. When it seemed she wasn't with Daldalita, he finally opened the door a little. "Thank you, Daldalita, but could you just please take my bag, I think I have medicine in there for stomach aches," I told her. "This is the medicine. I have some," Elyana st
Third-person's POV On his way to the clinic where Elyana could be taken, he received a message from Dr. Chelsea. "What did you do, Bakla? Elyana is here at the clinic right now unconscious!" She was mad at him after finding out he was the last in her company before she felt severe pain. He did not reply to the doctor. He went to the clinic with a worried expression on his face. After parking the car, he jumped out and dashed to the clinic. Strands of his long hair on a ponytail were all over the place, but the matchmaker didn't care how he looked because his mind was more messy than his appearance that day. He wouldn't forgive himself if something bad happened to Elyana and the baby. His mother would surely hurt him once she found out. The front desk secretary was expecting his arrival, so she did not ask what the matchmaker needed when she saw him walk in. She led him to a room where Elyana was resting and left him right after. Elyana was awake when he arrived, but was e
Third-person's POV Around eight in the morning, Elyana woke up and noticed that Felicity was no longer by her side. She tried to call him out, thinking he was in the bathroom, but no one answered. Elyana dashed into the bathroom, dizzy and nauseous. She forced herself to reach, even though the whole environment seemed to be spinning. Her morning sickness again and even how much she struggled with her pregnancy symptoms, would be all worth it for her. She kneeled in front of the toilet bowl; both arms were on the lip so she had balance. She seemed to be hugging it but she didn't care because those were clean and smelling well. She remained kneeling for a few minutes until she regained some strength, but she knew she already needed help. Elyana wanted to return to her bed. She considered calling one of the servants, but she did not want them to see her in that state. She already told them not to disturb her during those times because she wanted to rest, but the real reason was, t
Third-person's POV Felicity decided to keep the truth and go back to his life. Quintin followed what was written in the contract; he minimized the communication between him and Elyana. It was not that hard for him because he became busier handling their business after he went to the event. Everything was great for Felicity already, yet Elyana was the one who couldn't just let her best friend avoid her again. Elyana became tireless. She would go to Felicity's office whenever she wanted to see him and would go back and forth to Martincu's house to hang out with Lea and Eugene. Mostly, their topic was babysitting, which Felicity would secretly listen to when they did. Elyana could not hide her excitement to learn new things from the two. Unlike before, she avoided them. Eugene also wanted Elyana to be at their house because she was able to ensure that Elyana and her grandchild in Elyana's womb were fine. At first, Felicity was annoyed at how she became clingy to him. She wanted to
Third-person's POV Elyana started feeling strange in the sixth month of her pregnancy. Her doctor advised her not to stay at home often instead of doing what she mostly does daily. There were no frequent dizziness or cravings for food, but she was always looking for someone—her best friend. Her day seemed incomplete without seeing him, making her beg for him to stay at the mansion again. Felicity was against it, but it was hard to refuse the request of a pregnant woman. Besides, there were so many who were on Elyana's side, convincing him to agree to her request. He didn't like how much she became too clingy to him, to the point where he already felt annoyed when she was around. He couldn't have his privacy since he moved back to the mansion because she wanted to sleep next to him. It was not Elyana's fault at all. It was the baby inside that could feel the strong connection between them that he wanted his father to be around. Elyana was only following the messages the baby was
Felicity's POV"W-why?" Elyana asked me when I suddenly grabbed her by the hand, but how could I answer that question if I also didn't know why?My eyes went to our hands and up to her confused eyes. However, I saw more than that emotion in it. There was longing. Her warm palm, which I caught, was sending a signal into my brain.I wanted to feel disgusted by it, but my brain couldn't give me that emotion right at that time. 'What's wrong with me? ' I thought. I wanted to let go of her hand, but my hand held her tighter.I knew that wasn't me anymore. It was the side I had been trying to kill for so long that I was tempted to get out of the tie I had put on him before."Y-you don't need to go back to your room," I told her. My voice sounds strained.I felt Elyana pull her hand away from mine. I could still see the strong desire brewing inside her, but not until she looked away."I-I have something to do. I don't think you need to see it.""It's okay," I insisted, surprising both of us.
