Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 17 — No way, I don't want to!
P E D R OI couldn't contain my happiness as we entered the cinema and took our seats. After dragging me off like a bag of potatoes, Selena stopped by a corner and told me to fuck off. It was as if she was running away from someone and wanted to abandon me when she was done using me.I had to remind her that she used me first and it was my turn to return the favour. After making a fuss and fuming, she finally agreed to watch the movie with me and I couldn't help but let out a satisfactory smile, knowing she was right by my side even though it would only last for a couple of minutes.“Stop staring at me,” she snapped, reaching into the bowl of popcorn and taking a generous handful. She shoved it into her mouth, chewing with an exaggerated crunch. She kept her eyes focused on the screen, determined to ignore me.I felt like I'd been slapped, even though she hadn't touched me. I had to admit, I'd been staring. It was hard not to - she was so beautiful, and her every movement was mesmeriz

S E L E N A I wiped the water off my face with the handkerchief Pedro had given me when I came to the bathroom. I looked up at the mirror and saw a face that looked half-dead, pale and drawn. I looked exhausted as if I hadn't slept in days. Crying was not something I usually did, and I was mortified to have broken down in front of Pedro over a movie. But the character in the movie had reminded me so much of my own past experience with Pedro and his ex-lover that I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. The memories of that time came flooding back, and I couldn't hold back my emotions.It felt like running away wasn't the best option, I felt like I should have stayed behind. But what would have happened? Would my life has been like that character who died for love?“Um,” I took a deep breath, trying to push the what-ifs out of my mind. Whatever decision I could have made, I knew that leaving the city had been the right choice. If I hadn't left, I never would have met Christopher. Meetin

P E D R OI walked into my study, balancing a steaming cup of coffee and a brown envelope in my hands. Carefully, I placed the coffee on the table and pulled out a chair, settling down to review the contents of the envelope. I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to calm my nerves. I knew this was going to be a long night.As I opened the envelope, I could feel my heart racing. I wasn't sure if I was ready to see what was inside, but I had to face it head-on. The contents of the envelope were the information about Selena that the spy had promised to send me. Even though I had spent a lovely evening with her at the movie theatre, I wasn't sure if I was ready to learn the truth about who she really was. But I knew that it was something I had to do, for my good.What if she turned out to be someone else entirely? What if she was my Selena and still denied everything, even when faced with the proof? I couldn't bear the thought of it, but I knew I had to be prepared for anything.

S E L E N A“Chrissy…” I started to say, but before I could finish, Christopher brushed past me and headed for the stairs. I watched him go, feeling my heart sink. It had been days since our night at the cinema, and he had barely spoken to me since. Even Liam had started to notice the change in his behaviour towards me.I didn't know what to do. I felt like I was losing my best friend like my brother, and I didn't know how to fix it. I felt helpless like there was nothing I could do to make things right again.I followed him down the stairs, my footsteps heavy on the wood. When we reached the living room, I saw Liam sitting on the floor with a sketchbook in front of him, his pencil moving quickly across the page while his babysitter sat down to guide him.Christopher paused for a moment, watching Liam draw on his sketchbook.I watched them from the doorway, not wanting to interrupt, but not sure what to do. I felt like an outsider like I was intruding on a private moment. But I couldn

P E D R O My heart was racing with joy at the thought of seeing Selena again. It had felt like a lifetime since I last saw her at the cinema last weekend.I adjusted my tie, anxiously waiting for the coffee to finish brewing. As soon as it was ready, I grabbed two cups and made my way out of the break room, eager to see Selena again.I rounded the corner and stopped by my office to check myself out if I still looked presentable.I wanted to look my best for her, both polished and professional. I wanted to make a good impression, to show her that I was worthy of her attention. Maybe, if I was lucky, I could even outshine that smug guy, stupid Christopher fucking Andre.I knew it was vain and ridiculous, but I couldn't help myself. I wanted Selena to see me at my best, to know that I was more than what she had seen so far. I wanted to impress her, to make her see me in a new light. I knew it was silly, but I couldn't shake the feeling.I felt a mix of excitement and anxiety washing ove

S E L E N AI've always been a bit hard on myself, but I never imagined I would make such a huge mistake. It's embarrassing and frustrating, and I'm having a hard time forgiving myself. Running away from there when he clearly didn't care for me felt like I was trying to force myself on him, hoping that he would eventually change his mind and want to be with me. It was a desperate and misguided attempt to win him over, and I'm embarrassed by how I acted. I should have respected his boundaries and accepted that he wasn't interested in me.In hindsight, I could see that I was being a bit delusional and ignoring the obvious signs that he wasn't interested in me. I placed my hand on my chest, trying to steady my racing heart. I opened the door and walked into the room, not knowing what was on the other side. I didn't care where I was going, as long as it was away from everyone else. All I wanted was to be alone and collect my thoughts. I hoped that Christopher would forgive me for my mis
Last Updated : 2024-01-01Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 23 — We are getting married
P E D R OI watched as Christopher fucking Andre led Selena to his car, a lump forming in my throat. They seemed so happy together, like two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly. And I felt like I was on the outside, looking in. I felt like a failure like I had lost everything. I should have been more honest with her, I should have told her the truth about Louisa. I should have told her that she was nothing to me, that I had moved on. But I hadn't, and now I was paying the price. I felt a wave of regret wash over me, a feeling of what-ifs and could-have-been. Watching Selena get into the car and drive away, I felt like Christopher Andre had won. He had driven her out of my life, out of my messed-up life. And I couldn't help but feel like I had lost. Like I had failed. I wondered if I would ever be able to get her back, to make things right. The door crept open and I didn't bother to check since I had strangely registered her fucking scent in my nostril.“Why did you do that?” I asked,

P E D R O“You don't actually believe what that nutjob said, do you?” Roy said, shutting the door behind him as he entered the living room. His tone was incredulous, as if he couldn't believe that I might be taking Louisa seriously. I could tell he was sceptical, and I wasn't sure what to think myself.“I don't know what to believe,” I said, my voice sounding small and unsure. I was still processing the things Louisa had said to me. They were outrageous, but part of me couldn't shake the feeling that there might be some truth to them.What if my father had truly said that? What if, after all these years of being at odds with the Santos family, they've finally reconciled and want to pair me and Louisa together, even though my father had shut me out because of her five years ago?“Do you really think your father did that?” Roy asked as he sat down on the couch next to me, an apron tied around his neck and the scent of cooking oil wafting from his clothes. He looked at me with concern, c

Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 107 — Epilogue
SELENA "Selena, repeat after me," the officiant said, his voice clear and steady. My eyes darted from the diamond ring in my hand to the beaming face of Pedro, who never seemed to stop smiling. “I, Selena Leah Empress, take you, Pedro Joshua Lopez…” “I, Selena Leah Empress, take you, Pedro Joshua Lopez…” the words felt so foreign on my lips. “To be my husband, through the good times and bad. Through successes and struggles…” A lone tear rolled down my eyes as I stared at the ring on my finger. “To be my husband, through the good times and bad. Through successes and struggles…” my lips parted in a smile. I didn't realized he meant it when he was asking about marriage the previous night. It's happening. I would be officially married to Pedro Lopez, in a matter of minutes. I would be married to the first and the only man I had ever been in love with. “Through richer and poorer, and in sickness and health, I will treasure you for as long as we both shall live.” As I recited the vo

PEDRO‘Liam... Selena's baby boy, Liam. He's my son, and they're coming home with me. I'm coming back to the city with my family.’I remembered my words to Roy, my best friend over the phone when I packed little Liam's bags earlier. I still couldn't believe it that the sweet little boy was mine. Selena had a son for me. She loved me, she cherished what we had years ago and decided to keep my baby.“Hey, good to see you too.” I grinned, then stepped out of the car to fetch my son from the backseat."Hey there, Papa Liam," Roy taunted, walking out of my apartment with two glasses of booze in his hands."How did you get in?" I asked, cradling my son gently on my shoulder as I reached for the glass of booze from Roy's hand. He seemed more interested in looking at my son than handing me the drink."I still can't believe we're both fathers now," Roy chuckled, raising his glass in a toast. I clinked my glass against his, and for a moment, it all felt like a dream."Cheers to fatherhood," I
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 105 — You really want to marry me?
SELENA“I’m going to miss you.” Margaret whispered into my ear as she hugged me tightly to herself.I never would have thought a day would come where I would be saying goodbye to the Andre. They were like a family to me, not until moment ago when I returned to the Villa and Christopher asked me to pack up and leave with Pedro.I had thought it was all a joke until Pedro told me that was why he came; because Christopher asked him to come get me out of his life.“Don’t blame yourself for his recent attitude, I swear, I also have my own share of his sudden change of character.” Margaret further said as she squeezed my shoulders gently.I didn't know what to say to this. Everything happened so fast and I couldn't believe I wasn't the one to be blame.“He used to be good to me, at least I'm going to hold on to that.” I smiled as I pulled away from Margaret.I looked around, making sure I wasn't forgetting anything. It felt awkward to think that I was been chased out of the Villa because I
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 104 — Daddy is here?
CHRISTOPHER “Is that really a good idea?” my hands clenched and my shoulders heaved as I walked down the hallway. My heart broke into a million pieces as the thought of giving Selena up flooded my brain. “I own her. I fucking own her. She's living the life she wants all thanks to me.” a single sweat rolled down my temple as I took the hallway that led to my room. I couldn't help but feel like an actual loser as I saw my mother, standing in front of my door. Her back was on me, but I could already tell what she was imagining. I hated to be seen as a loser. Selena of all people should have known better than anyone. I had always strived to win whatever I set my hands on. My mother might have sensed my presence. She made to turn and I halted on my track, making sure to put as much distance between us as possible. “Chris…” she gasped, her face held worry but I knew better than anyone not to read much into her expression. She didn't care. She used to care for me but that was in the
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 103 — Someone left me a note. I got it.
PEDROMy hands clenched to my sides as I recalled how my father explained the incident to me. Maybe if my father hadn't told me, I wouldn't have to be in a close wall to have to tell Selena.She deserved to know the truth behind her parents’ death. Even if it would cost me my future with her, she still deserved to know.That was the promised I made to Edward. If I wanted to earn her trust, and want her to tell me her secret I should tell her mine. Letting her know she could trust me.“My mother was engaged in money laundering which my father, nor any other person known of. She was very careful not to let it get out, even to my father. My father would never support that act so she kept it a secret.” I stared at Selena, it was a surprise she wasn't throwing a fist. She only sat down and let me talk.“Your father was my father's driver, my father admired him a lot. I believed your mother worked for my mother, I never knew what her work was but I knew she worked for my mother. Your father

SELENA"You need to go," I said, struggling to free myself from his embrace. I grabbed his hand, my intention to guide him to the car, but he suddenly grabbed my elbows, his grip firm as he held me in place. His eyes searched my face, pleading with me to stay still.I could feel myself melting under the gaze of his deep purple eyes. I longed to be wrapped in his arms, just like he'd done so many times before. But I couldn't give in to that desire. I had to get him out of here, before Christopher arrived."Please, you have to go," I pleaded, my voice breaking as I rested my head on his chest. I tried to control my breathing, to calm my racing heart, before pulling away. "It would be... It would be bad if Chrissy found you here." I couldn't say the words. I couldn't tell him he was in danger. Not like this.The last thing I wanted was to tarnish Christopher's reputation, to damage his good name and possibly his career. I cared about him too much to do anything to hurt him, no matter how
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 101 — I have a son.
PEDRO“Tomorrow is the boy's birthday. Come to the address I mailed to you, Selena has something to say to you.” Christopher Andre’s voice erupted from the other end.I stared at my phone in shock, making sure I wasn't imaging things. But it was real, he was really calling me.“You… you know who this is, right?” I stuttered, pinching myself to keep myself from crashing to the floor.“Just do what I said.” he groaned and the call went off before I could get my thought straight.Christopher Andre was really the one who called me. After he walked out of the conference hall that night, I bet my life on it that he would never let her see me again.I was right, he terminated the contract the following day and that prove my assumption right. They never come back to the company. He took Selena away and I was so sure he would never let me see her again.“But this?” I stared at the phone, still doubting if the person who had just called was truly who I thought it was.“Why is he having a change
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 100 — You shouldn't be here.
SELENAI watched from the corner as the maids dressed my son in a crisp white tuxedo. His hair was carefully curled, with a few soft strands falling across his forehead.His smile was blinding. I chuckled from my I stood, watching him pouted his round lips at his nanny.“I want to go to uncle.” he whined, shaking his head to mess up with his hair.Huh? I gulped down nothing before moving away from the door.“Uncle is not here yet.” I cleared my throat once I got behind them, grabbing their attention. “Uncle went to get you a gift.”That seemed to got to him. His purple eyes widened, a glint of pure joy shone brighter in his eyes.“Really?” he asked in his sweet little voice, turning on his seat to stare at me. “What’s the gift?”I shook my head, kneeling beside him and took his hand in mine. “It is a surprise gift uncle is planning. Of course, mommy don't know what it is.” I smiled, squeezing his hand.He pouted and nodded slowly. “What about mommy?” he asked, his lips parted, exposin

PEDRO"I'll take a look around, and let you know if it meets my expectations," I said to the realtor, who gave a slow nod of agreement.Turning away from me, he looked around the living room, before turning back to face me. "If you don't like this one, I can find you another one in any location you'd like," he said, flashing a smile that was missing two front teeth."It's fine, I'm sure I'll like this one," I said, waving him off and turning my attention to the stairs."I'm at your service, Mr. Lopez," he said, a broad smile spreading across his face. He offered his hand for a handshake, and I took it, feeling a little more at ease.“Alright.” I retrieved my hand and turned away from him.As his footsteps faded away and the door clicked shut behind him, I exhaled the breath I hadn't realized I'd been holding."This is insane," I said aloud, chuckling mirthlessly as I took in the apartment that had once been home to Selena and baby Liam. A week ago, they had been living here, but now t
