"Why did you bring me here sir?" I calmly asked him after he took me to his office room. I found out that this room was his office because of the name on the table. 'Engineer Michael Andrew Claveria' 

"I—" He could not go on with what he wanted to say. He just stared into my eyes. His stare was cold...yet lonely and it seems that he's in too much pain while staring at me straightly. 

Because of the closeness of our bodies so I could smell him freely. Nothing has changed in the perfume he uses, he still smells the same. I could also smell the wine with every breath he took. He's drunk. Did he mean to get drunk? God! 

He slowly loosened his grip on my arm. He also moved slightly away from me. He also averted his eyes first. Why is he like that? Why does it seem like he's hurts to see me? Is he mad at me? Then why did he hired me? After all I should be angry with him. I should be affected by it now that we have met again

    "Momma!" I immediately drew a smile on my lips as my daughter greeted me."...wow you look stunning with your dress momma!" She praised what I was wearing. She seemed to be a professional while reviewing it. I just laughed at what she did."Aww. Thank you baby." I kissed her on her cheeks. I pressed that too."Momma, teacher wants us to bring a family picture tomorrow. Baby, mommy, and daddy should be together!" Grace and I looked at what Sunny said. It was as if my throat had dried up because I could not speak."Baby Sunny?" Grace calls my daughter's attention."Yes, sister?""I will take care of what the teacher asks you to do because look, momma is tired." Grace apparently got my reason for keeping quiet, so she made a way to keep Sunny away from asking about her father. I knew we would get to this point, that Sunny would ask who her dad was. B

    "Peace be with you, baby!"Today is Sunday and just after Mass. We are currently walking out of the church, with my daughter, Grace and me."Peace be with you momma. I love you!" I couldn't help but shudder at Sunny's sweetness. I picked her up so we could easily get out of the church. We sat in front so we could hear Father clearly.When we left the church, I immediately rode a tricycle to go to the carnival park."What do you want to eat baby?" I asked her."Anything momma, it's up to you." She answered cheerfully. She just clung to my side while I was busy buying food for us later. We left Grace in the park, where we will be stationed for a mini-picnic.I thought of bringing them, Grace and Sunny, in a picnic, because I will be gone for three months for the renovation of Paradise Island Resort in Palawan will do.Two days ago, Andrew told me that I

Mang Bert will pick me up here at home at four thirty, because our flight to El Nido Palawan was at exactly five o'clock.Sunny was still sleeping soundly in our room next to Grace. Before I got up at three in the morning, I put Grace next to Sunny.I just arranged the things I'm going to bring last night so I'm checking it again carefully today because I might have left something behind.I was carrying a large brown suitcase. The suitcase was full of clothes I would need for work. I also brought my replacement when it was not work hours.After I checked that my equipment was complete and I hadn't forgotten anything, I rearranged it.I approached my sleeping daughter, I gently kissed her forehead and cheek. I didn't want to wake her up because I might suddenly chang

    "This is Paradise Hotel, and we're staying there for months." Miss Michelle said as she walks me around."Aunt Helen managed this before ... before the chairman got sick. So when the chairman got sick and couldn't walk, she decided to hand over the management to me." She told a story."At first, I was like; seriously? I am managing this whole island? God! I'm a model not a business woman!" She said laughing as she rolled her eyes."Y-you're a model?" I can't believe that she's a model. Not that I doubt her ... of course she's beautiful. She's more than just a model!"Yeah. But that was just before ... during my teenage. When I turned twenty, there that Aunt Helen started training me in business management." She smiled again. I smiled back. She continued sharing her experience in managing this island while I just continued to listen."This will be our

    "Congratulations on our job well done!" Michelle who was overjoyed with the outcome of the renovation."Group hug!" She added, so we hugged in a group. We looks like teenagers who are excited about the school project that we had just finished. It was an awesome feeling!"And because of that, let's celebrate!" That's Gab. I was also surprised when he held my hand then he kissed me furtively on the cheek. I was stunned for a moment. I was also stuck in my stand because I didn’t expect him to do so.The formerly happy and noisy Michelle gradually faded the smiles on her lips. Maybe because she's shocked too? I don't know. But I feel it seems like ... she's hurt."T-thank you for the inspiration." He said shyly. It's embarrassing when I get angry to him. Maybe he was just got carried away because of the excitement he feels, so I just smiled."It's okay... but don't do

That they cheated on me.Michelle has been trying to talk to me for three days to explain ... so has Andrew but I'm not ready yet. I'm afraid there's more to it than that I'll find out why they did that. I know they have their reasons. But still thinking about the possible reason, I'm having a hard time.That night I just locked myself in the room. I knew it was supposed to be Michelle and I's room but I ignored it. I didn’t want to talk to or see them so I did that.The next morning, when I knew it was time for our flight back to Manila, I just went out there. I didn't greet them or even talk to them.Even Gab was wondering too but he did nothing.When we arrived in Manila, the next mo

    "Why are you here?" There is nothing as cold as that voice.I'm here now in Drew's office to pick up the other things I left behind. I thought he's out of the country ... said his new secretary."I just have something left." I raised an eyebrow in response."Sydney let's talk." His tone was angry. I could hardly breathe as he violently closed the door of his office."Why did you resign? Because you don't want to know the truth? You're afraid to face it?" I'm confused by what he's up to now. It seems like I did something wrong without forgiveness."Why Drew? Why did you ask that? Can't I just avoid trouble? I don't want to see you because I'm confused! My life is quiet now and I don't want trouble anymore!""Really Sydney?" He wiped his face. He seems to want to hurt me but he just keeps i

    Due to the blurring of my eyes, I did not notice someone walking in the direction I was walking."What the fuck?!" She shouted angrily at me. She also slapped me hard, causing me to feel dizzy for a while."S-sorry .." I stuttered. I also bent down to pick up the things she had dropped. My long hair also covered my face as I did that. When I found all her belongings I slowly stood up to hand them to her."I'm sorry again." I'm embarrassed to say."S-sydney?" Her face was shocked. I even surprised too."Belle?""Oh my God! Sydney?" Her dull and furious face earlier was replaced by ecstasy. She immediately gave me a tight hug. I just stayed where I was."Sorry! I'm sorry my dearest cousin!" She said sincerely, "Wait, are you crying? My God! How are you?" She continued."Belle!" Aunt Fely's voice was deep. That means she's angry

    You and I, We Belong "You're spoiling me, Drew!" Sydney slapped me lightly on my shoulder as I showed her my gift for her sixteenth birthday. "No. It was just a simple gift." I smiled in response to her. "What simple gift? Excuse me, the size of your effort for this. Imagine, you designed my dream house! It's like I just said yesterday what my dream house is ... then look at this now! You already have it." She said excitedly as she observed the design of the house I had made. "Someday, I'll live you in your dream house." I smiled and told her. I was just surprised when she suddenly hugged me tightly. "Thank you, Drew. I was the luckiest woman on earth when you fulfilled that promise." She said tearfully. I smiled because of her great appreciation for the simple things I do for her. "Pro

    "For you," I was surprised when Drew handed me three pieces of plastic flowers. He knew that ever since then I have been allergic to the smell of any flower. A smile immediately reciprocated to my surprise as I took in Drew's hand the three pieces of flowers."Thank you." I smiled and said as I touched what he gave me."Anything for you." His sweet answer thrilled me.Here we are now in the park, we are waiting for Michelle and Sunny. Michelle said that she would just follow Drew and me because we were going somewhere. She included Sunny because ever since Drew and I introduced Sunny to them, Michelle had hardly let her go. She really loves her niece that much, to the point that sometimes she almost sleeps at home just to be with Sunny."Where are we really going, Drew?" I hesitated to question

    "Good morning Dadda!" Sunny quickly went to where her Dadda Andrew was. I just laughed at the way she let go of me to go to her Dadda."Good morning princess!" Drew greeted her warmly back. While smiling, he also picked up Sunny and kissed her on the cheek. It's fun to watch them squirm. It seems like a very beautiful scene I am looking at now, and the scene I am looking at now conveys an indescribable pleasure to my heart."So, you're a momma now, huh? Take note, your daughter is very beautiful and kind. She inherit from you," Mama commented smiling as she watched Sunny and Drew squirm."Good morning, Mom." I kissed Mama on the cheek then gave her a tight hug."Hays. My daughter is really still very sweet to this day." Mom smiled. I just laughed at Mama.

    "What is my love thinking?" I looked at the source of the baritone voice from behind me. After the scene earlier, I thought of just coming to the terrace to think. Sunny also just slept so I went here alone. I never thought Drew would follow me. Alots of questions confuses my mind. How much I wanted to ask my parents, how they survived, and why they just showed up to me. And why Drew knows them. But I didn’t have the courage to ask them that. I do not know. I took a deep breath before answering his question."Nothing. I'm just happy." I smiled in response to him. He hugged me from behind then he sniffed my hair."You still smell so sweet darling." He said sexily. I laughed when he said that."You're still the same, you always fooled me." I said laughing as I widened my eyes. I heard him chuckled because of what I s

    "Sydney please? Don't put mommy in jail. I need her," Belle pleads with me. I would have liked to drop the case but I didn’t. I don’t want to let Aunt Fely alone with her sins. It's unfair, especially since I was separated from my parents for several years because of what she did."I wanted to Belle, but I'm sorry ... I can't give you what you're asking for. I want my aunt to learn from her mistakes." I was stubborn to Belle. I could see in Belle's eyes that she understood me. But still I feel sorry for Belle. Because he was alone in life. She’s only twenty, and I believe Belle is still a good person despite what she did to me as well."I'm sorry Sydney ... I'm sorry for all the troubles and pain that I've caused you." She seriously said. I smiled at her. I took her hand and gently squeezed it."It's ok

    "M-mom, D-dad?" I call them again. They were just looking at me and little by little was drawing a smile on their lips."S-Sunny?" My daughter did the same, her eyes talking as she smiled at me.I almost ran to where they were to give them a tight hug. But before I could even reach them a strength arm stopped me. When I looked back it was Drew's pleading eyes I saw. He's stopping me from reaching my parents' and daughter. Seems like he doesn’t want me to approach them."Sydney, I'm here." Drew said in a whisper. I turned my attention back to where mom and dad were, even my daughter.But when I looked back to where they had been before, I was so shocked...because it was a dangerous place where you could fall with just one wrong move, and they were no longer ther

    "What's this for?" I asked Andrew a confused question after he put a body camera on me."Trust me, you'll need it." He said with assurance on his eyes. I just nodded and didn't ask any more questions."I'm scared—not for myself, but for our daughter," Drew was stunned as he made preparations for the other belongings we would need to go to the hideouts of Aunt Fely and her Mafia husband.Aunt Fely already texted me their address, and anytime we were going there. Here we went straight to Drew's mansion. There was no one in the mansion so we could easily get into Drew’s room."You have nothing to fear Sydney, because I'm here. I'm here for our daughter, and I assure you nothing bad will happen to Sunny." His eyes were convincing. I felt comforted by what he

    "Why did you let them take our daughter, Drew?" Anger and extreme concern are what I feel now for myself and for my daughter.I promised to accompany her and protect her against anyone, but I did not do so because of my negligence. I'd chose to go home than stay with Sunny."I'm sorry, I fell asleep." His response was weak. I can also see that he still doesn’t seem to be on his own. I have nothing else to blame here but myself. Maybe Drew is right before, that I am a worthless mother for our daughter. I'm such a worthless momma for her."But don't worry—""You said that before, Drew! But what happened? Did you do something? Drew our daughter is sick! Sunny is sick!"I couldn't control my emotions so I shouted at Drew. I'm in a m

    "I'm sorry if I believed what I found out right away, I thought you were actually aborting our child."Extreme remorse could be seen in Drew's voice and eyes as he said those words.I sighed and turned my full attention to Drew."It's not the right place and time for us to talk about that thing Drew." I seriously respond to what he said. He just nodded at what I said.We have a lot to talk about our past, but I don’t think it’s the right time yet. We are still in the hospital and we are waiting for Sunny's recovery.She is sound asleep now while Drew and I are at the foot of her bed. From then on Drew never took his attention away from Sunny. I never thought this is how you feel when you see two important people in your life happy."Aren't you still going to answer Belle's call? Sunny is already asleep, it's oka
