I don't know how long I've been staring at the bottle of pills. I'm getting a headache just thinking about whether I should drink it or just throw it away. I just can't really understand why Aldo wants me to drink this pill, and yet he also wants babies. I mean, is he playing games again? Does he just intend to let me go and leave me all of a sudden?I tightened my grip on the bottle and stared at it, even though my headache was screaming. When I looked down, a pair of shoes were in front of me. When I looked up, I frowned when I saw that Aldo was staring at me."Why? Is there something wrong with the pills?" His voice sounded so concerned.I felt my feelings become heavy. I want to ask him why he is still making me take pills when he can tell me not to continue."My head just hurt a little after drinking. I guess I will have to endure it until I empty this bottle." I even raised the bottle, which seemed to be half full.But that was a lie. I haven't had a drink today, and I'm thinkin
"Are you sure, Mayu?" Alice asked from the other line."Yes, Alice. There's something odd about these pills. I doubt he's making me take them, even though he wants me to get pregnant. Then yesterday, he just threw them in the trash. What do you think?"I stared at the bottle in my hand that I had taken from the trash. I intend to see a pharmacist or doctor to see what it is. I don't know, but my curiosity is attacking me. It's a good thing I wasn't attacked by a headache; otherwise, Aldo wouldn't go to work today and watch over me like he did yesterday."Maybe Aldo won't make you drink the ugly medicine. But if you do, let's meet so you can have an excuse. I'm sure Aldo has eyes on you, Mayu." She even giggled as if something was exciting."Are you alright?" I asked sarcastically, "I'm sure Apollo is following you, Alice."I grinned after hearing her cough. Did she think I wasn't aware that she and Apollo had something?"What are you two now? You used to hate each other; now you love
"Seriously? Ascorbic acid? As in Vitamin C?" Alice asked in confusion, and she couldn't stop laughing when we got inside the car.Arkan almost frowned as he stared at her, thinking he was going crazy. I also couldn't believe that vitamin C was the medicine I was taking. I actually asked the pharmacist a few more times, and when I got confirmation, I bit my lip to stop myself from smiling. I was not annoyed, but it seemed that my heart was filled with warmth from happiness. But now I'm annoyed because of Alice."Stop, Alice! I'll stop the car and leave you here if you don't stop," I threatened softly.She tried to close her mouth, but her little laugh still escaped."Alice, stop. Arkan is not happy anymore. The driver is also embarrassed." I jokingly pinched her side, which caused her to burst out laughing even louder.If I hadn't glared at her and lightly kicked her in the leg, she wouldn't have stopped laughing again."Because, Mayu! Your CEO is such a genius!" She laughed again, "I
There are no words for how I feel right now. My chest pounded non-stop. My anger flares up every time I remember Stella.I know I need to calm down, but I'm struggling. I have called Alice several times, but she does not answer."This is so fucked up! Lord, I don't want to complain, but why is this?" I growled in annoyance.My head hurt from anger, so I tried to breathe deeply. I also went straight to the kitchen and took out some cold water. I drink it and lean over the sink.I was supposed to be the one angry earlier, but when I think about it, I made Aldo angry again. I bit my lip at the thought. I just hope Addison doesn't change his mind and go to bed with her.I sighed and returned to the living room. I also peeked outside a few times just to make sure Aldo didn't follow me. I'm content to leave Arkan with him, but I'm not content that he will still be nice to me.I slid down the bed. I stared at the ceiling and reflected on what is happening in my life. I even beat the actress
I closed my eyes as he kissed me swiftly on my cheeks and jaw. He even snaked his arm around my waist and pulled me closer as he covered our bodies with the comforter. I don't even know how we got to bed after what he said. All I know is that I was swayed and mesmerized by his words. I guess I was a fool to give in to him again.Why does he have to tell me to be possessive of him when I have no right? Or maybe that's the signal for me to deny him to others?I was confused, and because of my confusion, we both ended up on the bed. I felt my cheeks flushed and heated after remembering how he passionately adored my body, kissing me from head-to-toe and giving me the same intense pleasure. His lips on mine, body to body, sweat to sweat, and his moving above me while I moaned beneath him caused my throat to dry. The heat once again rushed down in my veins, and I couldn't do anything but grip on to his arm that was possessively snaking around my waist.My lips parted a little, but I immedi
"Where are we going, Aldo?" I asked after he adjusted my seatbelt."We'll pick up Arkan. I bet he misses us already." He gave a small grin that I thought was amusing.I glared at him and said, "Probably. Why did you leave him there? Maybe he will cry later."He shrugged his shoulders and maneuvered the car, "I expected us to have a heated argument. I didn't want Arkan to see us fighting, so I decided to leave him with Grandpa. They'll come to an agreement sometime."I just nodded. He has a point, and I also don't want Arkan to think that we are fighting, because that's what my parents didn't do—not show their fighting. After so many years, I still remember how they shouted at each other, their cries, and even how they left me like a hot potato.My eyes teared up a little at the memory. I never want that to happen to Arkan. I don't want my son to witness our fights because I know how it feels to see your parents arguing, shouting, and sometimes beating each other. It's not good. It's m
There are no words for how nervous I feel. My heart doesn't want to stop beating while I am sitting on the chair facing the old man's table. The fist resting on my thigh clenched as I stared intently at the floor. I know Addison is what she wants for Aldo, and I don't know how to change that when I see that he is against me."It's nice meeting you again, Miss Selvestre. Why do you look so scared?" he mocked.I pursed my lips and breathed heavily until I got the courage to look at him."I'm not afraid. I can fight for the father of my child and for my son," I uttered firmly and gave him a serious look.I saw his eyebrows twitch and shrug his shoulders as if he didn't believe it."If you say so, but that is not something I believe. Words are nothing without actions. And, based on your actions in recent years, you can only fight for your child, not Aldo," he concluded.I mumbled, "Yes, but—"He raised his palm, which left me stunned. He didn't even open the drawer of his desk.I won't de
I don't know how I faced Aldo without having a breakdown that day. He was quiet and observant, and even if he didn't say it, I knew he had an idea. It's good that he didn't bother me to come to the office; even Arkan has been left with me for the past few days.I can't be quiet about the conversation the old man and I had. I didn't even try to open the envelope for fear that it might be a check, and when I opened it, I would actually be kicked out. I was confused about what to do, so I tried to call Alice."Latest chika, Mayu? What's up?" She even giggled.I was sad, but when Arkan looked at me while playing on the floor, I tried to smile."No chika, Alice, but a problem.""Huh? Aren't you and Aldo on the next level yet?" She was confused.I sighed and sat at the edge of the bed."For Aldo, it's pretty okay. But for Don Frederick, it's vague. Very vague, Alice," I uttered weakly.When the conversation comes back to my memory, my chest tightens. I feel that my personality has been crus
