Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 40 — Kiss the hell out of those lips.
S E L E N AWalking out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my chest. I had my wet hair wrapped in a towel as I walked towards Pedro’s bed.“Oh,” a bright smile spread on my face as I saw the shirt and a pant Pedro had laid down on his bed for me. My dresses had been stained with dirt after laying on the dusty bed in my former for what seemed like an hour of our make-out.The thought of make-out made my smile deepened and I slowly bit down on my bottom lip. Who would have thought I would ever give in to Pedro's charm again?I cleared my throat to check if Pedro was anywhere near the room and then moved my gaze towards the closed door. After making sure he wasn't there, I let out a satisfactory smile before peeling the towel off my body and tossing it to the floor.“Silly,” I chuckled. Why would I still be worried about him walking in on me while I was getting dressed when I had displayed everything for him to see with nothing more to hide?I shook my head and laughed at my foo

S E L E N A“Wait, Nina,” Pedro gasped and grabbed my hand, stopping me from stepping out of the car. My cheeks heated up in a smile, knowing he hadn't forgotten the name he used to call me.“Yeah?” I pressed my lips into a thin line, gulping down the smile that was threatening to break out of my face. I pulled my hand away from the button and turned back to see Pedro, staring at me with a wide grin on his face.“You look beautiful.” Pedro let out, his voice filled with awe. His eyes, a deep shade of purple met mine and I couldn't help but smile softly. I cleared my throat and looked down at my lap. “Thank you.” God! I felt my cheeks heated up and I was sure my cheeks must have been a shade of red. Pedro didn't say anything for a while, which made my cheeks heat up even more. “Um,” he said and I slowly raised my head to see him staring at me with a nervous smile.“Will you drop by tomorrow to get your dress?” he asked, and I felt my mouth curved into an ‘oh’.I had almost forgotten

CHRISTOPHER My muscles clenched and unclenched, over and over again, as I watched the car that had dropped Selena off drive away. My hand gripped the doorknob so tightly that I could feel the tension in my body transferring to the poor knob. It was as if I was pouring all of my emotions into the metal in my hand. It was the only thing keeping me from running after the car and punching whoever was in the car in the face.Although I couldn't be sure, I had a sinking feeling that the driver was none other than Pedro Lopez, Selena's ex-lover and the father of her child. The very same man that she'd never really gotten over, and whose child had grown to love me. My mind raced with thoughts of what this meant, and how it would affect my relationship with Selena.Would Selena still want to be with me, knowing that her ex was back in the picture? Or would she choose to go back to him and leave me behind? I couldn't shake the feeling of dread that was settling over me.I let out a heavy sigh
Last Updated : 2024-01-22Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 43 — I scared you, Lena.
SELENAChristopher had asked me to check on Liam, but I found myself going to my room instead. I wasn't sure I could face my son in the state I was in. Everything that had happened downstairs was still swirling in my mind. My heart was racing, my thoughts a jumble of confusion and fear. I couldn't believe what had happened between Christopher and me. It felt like a nightmare that I couldn't wake up from."I hurt him," I whispered to myself, my hand covering my face as the tears continued to fall. I had been crying ever since I stepped onto the stairs, and I couldn't seem to stop. It felt like the dam had broken, and I couldn't hold back the flood of emotion that had been building up inside me. I felt so guilty, so ashamed of what I had done. I had never meant to hurt Christopher, but now it seemed like I had done just that."I hurt him by lying to him," a voice inside me said, its tone filled with bitterness and self-loathing. And, as much as I hated to admit it, I knew that voice w
Last Updated : 2024-01-23Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 44 — How did he know?
SELENAI stood beside Edward's hospital bed, watching him sleep peacefully without any of the usual tubes and machines connected to his body. His chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm as he breathed, and I found myself smiling through my tears. It was a relief to see him like this, after all he had been through. I wiped away my tears and tried to compose myself, but I couldn't stop the steady stream of tears that continued to roll down my cheeks. I wiped my palms on my shirt, then reached out and pulled the blanket up to Edward's chest. I rested my hand on his chest, feeling the slow, steady rhythm of his heartbeat. And then I lost it, the tears falling faster and faster until I was sobbing uncontrollably. "It's not fair that your heart is going to stop beating in a few months, right?” I whispered, biting my hand to keep from sobbing. I had promised Edward that I would stay strong for him, but I couldn't hold back the tears any longer. I didn't want him to wake up and see me cryin
Last Updated : 2024-01-25Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 45 — Are you going to disappear again?
SELENA"Selena," I heard my name called again, and slowly turned around. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped when I saw who it was. She stood before me, a bright smile on her face, her eyes shining with joy. It was like seeing a ghost, my hands going numb and my purse slipping to the floor as I took a step forward. I shook my head in disbelief, as if I could somehow erase the sight in front of me. It was impossible, yet here she was, smiling at me as if nothing had changed. And I realised she was real."Mitchell!" I gasped, my hand flying to my mouth to stop the scream that threatened to escape. I couldn't believe I was actually saying her name out loud again, after all this time. After what happened. I felt like I was in a dream, one that I never wanted to wake up from.Mitchell's head nodded slowly, a single tear rolling down her cheek as she rushed toward me. She closed the space between us, her eyes locked on mine as she pulled me into a tight embrace. I could feel her heart pound

SELENAI didn't know I had been holding back my breath until I watched Mitchell walk through the door. I released a sigh of relief. Honestly, I had little to no faith that she would come back, but seeing her making her way through the door made my face lit up with a smile.“Hey,” I smiled, waving my hand as she walked up to me. I wondered if the wave was necessary but I couldn't compromise my happiness to see her.Mitchell returned the smile, her lips curved to one side as she stretched out her hand for me. “Here, have it.” she beamed, handing me one of the two coffee cups in her hands.I took the cup from her and held it with both hands. “Thank you.” Mitchell nodded her head, taking her seat beside me on the long bench. She took a sip from her coffee, sighing as she moved her gaze up to the sky.The question burst out of my mouth before I could stop it. I had been dying to ask her what had happened, why she had disappeared, and now I couldn't contain myself any longer. I had to know

PEDRO“I wonder how it's going.” Roy sighed, tapping his fingers lazily on the files on the table.I tugged at my glasses and peeled it off my face. “You should know better than anyone that nothing is going to happen.” I shook my head and picked up my phone to check if I had any unopened messages from Mitchell. But there was none.His hand paused an inch from the file, and he averted his gaze from the file to me, flashing me a deadly glare from across the couch where he was sitting. “You’re only saying this because you're not the one that was threatened with his life if anything should happen to her.” he scoffed, grabbed his glass of whiskey and gulped it down his throat.I dropped my phone back on the table and groaned out. “Man, take it easy, would you?” I honestly didn't understand why he would be panicking if I let Mitchell work at the hospital. He wanted her to live a free life but wouldn't do anything about it.“If I'm not taking it easy, will I be sitting here going through th

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
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 106 — I have always wanted to do this.
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
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 99 — I didn't deserve you.
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
