Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 74 — Kiss your major shareholder goodbye.
PEDROMy fingers tightened around the knot of my tie as I craned my neck to look through the car window. My father's sleek black sedan was parked in front of the penthouse, and I knew what that meant. He was already inside, waiting for me. My stomach twisted into a knot as I steeled myself for the conversation to come.I knew I wasn't ready for the conversation that was about to take place. My father, who had cut me off physically and emotionally five years ago, had asked to meet with me. And I was certain that he would be asking me to make a difficult choice - marry the woman who had once broken my heart, or lose the major shareholder in the of my company. It was all speculation on my part, but I was bracing myself for the worst.“I need to call Selena. I need to hear her voice to calm down.” I said aloud, reaching for my phone. I quickly dialed her number, my hands trembling slightly as I waited for her to answer. But instead of hearing her voice, I was greeted by the monotonous ton
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 75 — I want you to be mine.
SELENAThe elevator beeped as we reached the top floor, and the doors slid open to reveal a stunning rooftop terrace. The setting sun cast a golden glow over the city skyline, and the air was filled with the scent of jasmine and roses. A single table was set in the center of the terrace, candles flickering in the breeze. Christopher took my hand and led me to the table, pulling out my chair for me. As I sat down, I felt a shiver of anxiety run down my spine. Whatever was about to happen, it would be unforgettable for me, and what I was going to do would be unforgettable for him."Th—this is beautiful," I stammered, my eyes taking in the stunning view of the city skyline. "The atmosphere is incredible." I wiped my clammy hands on my dress, trying to calm my nerves. What was happening here? What did he have planned? I couldn't help but feel a mix of anticipation and fear, unsure of what was to come."You're right," Christopher said with a proud smile, his eyes sparkling as he gazed out
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 76 — What did you do to Selena?
CHRISTOPHER I watched in horror as Selena fell to the ground, her body hitting the metal railing with a sickening thud. She crumpled to the ground, blood pooling around her. I stood frozen, the ring box slipping from my hand. In that moment, the fireworks began, exploding in the night sky. I had wanted them to form a heart, but now all I could see was the red, like the blood on the ground."Selena!" I gasped, falling to my knees next to her. I cradled her head in my lap, her eyes fluttering closed. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, a crimson stain on her lips. "Selena, please," I whispered, tears welling up in my eyes. "Please…just hang in there for me.”Without thinking, I gathered Selena in my arms and ran to the elevator. I left everything we'd brought with us behind, my only thought was to get Selena to a hospital. I jabbed the button frantically, the doors taking an eternity to open. I pushed past the people waiting to get in, racing to the street. I hailed a taxi, th
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 77 — That bastard!
PEDROMy mind was racing, my body shaking as I drove aimlessly, heading to the only place I could think of - to the only person who could calm me down. How could my father threaten me with Mother? How could he bring her up like that, to scare me? How could he still have that file, when he promised me he had destroyed it? My thoughts whirled, my emotions threatening to overwhelm me.I pulled up to the apartment building a few minutes later, letting out a pained groan as I dropped my head onto the steering wheel. I gripped it tightly, my hands shaking. I knew I shouldn't be showing up to see Selena like this, in such a state of distress. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself, but it didn't seem to be working."F*ck my life!" I cried out, hitting the steering wheel with my fist. "F*ck my stupid, f*cked up life!" I screamed, my emotions spiraling out of control. Anger was blinding me, clouding my thoughts. I felt like I was losing control, like I was about to explode."My father alw
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 78 — Father, you can't do this to me.
PEDROIt had been three days since Selena had been hospitalized, and she still hadn't woken up. After the heated argument with Christopher that night, the doctor had came to tell us news about Selene’s state. While the metal that had been embedded in her stomach wasn't too deep, and hadn't destroyed any vital organs, he couldn't say when she'd wake up. I felt hopeless and afraid that I might lose her.Christopher was adamant about staying with Selena until she woke up, but I knew it was because he wanted to keep me away from her. I was relieved, though, when the doctor suggested that he couldn't stay at the hospital with Liam for that long. That meant I could bring him home with me, where he'd be comfortable and cared for.Christopher was clearly unhappy about the prospect of me seeing Selena, and he was reluctant to let me take Liam home with me. But with the doctor's insistence that he couldn't stay at the hospital with the boy, he had no choice but to let me bring Liam home. It was
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 79 — Daddy is not happy.
PEDROAfter the phone call with my father the previous night, I'd been on edge around Liam. Every time I looked at him, my stomach turned over with guilt. How could I smile at a little boy I was so interested in his mother when another woman would be staying in my apartment in a matter of hours?I was so lost in my own dark thoughts that I didn't notice the tug on my sleeve. I looked down, startled to find Liam gazing up at me with his bright purple eyes. It was like looking into a mirror - his eyes were so like mine."Hm?" I croaked, my voice a little hoarse. Liam frowned, a little crease forming between his brows. I raised an eyebrow at him, wondering what was on his mind.He didn't respond, and I looked down at my hand - still gripping his hair, the dryer held tightly. Oh no, had I pulled too hard? I let go, a wave of worry sweeping over me. "Is your hair okay? Did I hurt you?" I asked, a frown tugging at my lips.Liam shook his head, and I let out a breath of relief. Maybe I hadn'
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 80 — That bastard, I'll kill him.
SELENA"You can't go in there," I heard Christopher's voice, loud and angry. I groaned and turned my head, wincing at the movement. The pain at the side of my stomach was beginning to ease a little, but the pounding in my head was still strong. I tried to get up, but my body wouldn't cooperate. Christopher's voice continued, "Let her rest, Mr. Lopez. She doesn't need you bothering her right now." I blinked, my mind racing. "Pedro's here?" I gasped, trying to sit up. But the IV line in my hand pulled taut, and I winced in pain. I was still too weak to get out of bed. I could only listen to the conversation taking place in the hallway. "I know you're concerned, Mr. Lopez," Christopher said. "But I need you to leave. Selena needs to rest and I also don't want you here." I couldn't see him but I could tell that Christopher was angry and I silently prayed that Pedro should just go.When I woke up the previous night, I found Christopher sitting by my hospital bedside, holding my hand. H
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 81 — You’ll never get over me.
SELENAAfter my discharge from the hospital over a week ago, I've received no contact from Pedro. No phone calls, no visits, and no word from him about his whereabouts. When I try calling him, my calls go unanswered, and it's leaving me feeling increasingly anxious. I'm concerned and want to know if he's okay."I could attend the meeting alone while you rest," Christopher said, groaning as he descended the stairs. "You only just got discharged from the hospital last week. There's no need to rush back to work, Lena."Ever since the incident at the dinner that landed me in the hospital, Christopher had been extra overprotective of me. He wouldn't let me lift a finger, and even his temper had mellowed, despite my attempts to reach out to Pedro. And I have to admit, I was grateful for his control over his temper."I appreciate your concern," I said, offering him a reassuring smile. "But the doctor has given me the all-clear, and I feel perfectly capable of attending the meeting today."As

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

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

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
