“Are you angry with me Raya?” Jessica asked, Raya after a while of noticing that she hadn't said a word.“No, I just feel very sad about all that's happening. It seems like the one thing I have been praying for would never ever happen.” Raya said, warm tears slowly dropping to her cheeks.“I want our family to be complete again but then you don't seem like you like father anymore.” Raya voiced as more tears gushed out.“Common, stop crying already. You know the story by now and you know what really happened, please do not force things that you want for us. It just can't happen anymore!” Jessica pointed out.“Can't we ever be like the way we were before all of this happened? A real family,” Raya uttered. “Isn't it true that when we make a mistake. We apologize right away, and ask for forgiveness? That's what you taught me and my sisters when we were little, why don't you just forgive our father?” Raya blurted out.“Isn't it that you were also not with us for a very long time? We also
Rose had met up with Ray. She had been tearing up ever since she left the hospital, her face was presently very red like a tomato. Things weren't going well because her mother was proving entirely stubborn. The moment Ray caught a glimpse of her. He didn't have to question her but he tried to comfort her, “Why is it like this? It seems like I could never find happiness, for many years I have waited for my mother and father but now that they are here. They don't want to be with each other!” Rose blurt out the instant she was calm. “Haven't I already told you that you should leave them alone for a while, give them their space?” Ray said calmly.“You mean, I should just let them be like this? Remember, these are my parents. It's been a long time since we saw one another or been together.” she pointed out. “We were still little kids but I would always be thrilled seeing them happy. I told myself that when the time comes, and when I eventually get married! I want to be like them and ha
Travis and Mitch seemed to be having their breakfast while Claudia tried to make them each a glass of milk. “Well, tell me, Mitch. How did you sleep last night?” Claudia asked with a wide grin. “I had a good night's sleep but it was chilly!” she answered, taking a spoonful of her meal. Claudia gave a small chuckle while adding sausage to their plate each. “You know Mitch isn't really used to the air conditioning yet. That's why she felt so cold!” Travis explained. “True, and then the bed was very very soft. It smelled so nice and comfy!” Mitch muttered yet again causing another raft of a chuckle from Claudia. “What did I tell you, Travis? A child would always prefer to live in a real house. Why don't you consider myoffer and stay here instead!” Claudia said.“Okay, but I want you to know that it's only going to be temporary. I’m going to find a job and a place we can stay,” Travis voiced before digging more.“Don’t worry, I’m going to help you!” Claudia said,“Thank you,” He rep
Travis had helped Claudia out after she complained of building pain, dizziness, and headache. “You have to slow down a bit, be careful!” Travis muttered as he held her hands to keep her stable.“Thank you Travis for accompanying me to the hospital!” Claudia voiced out the moment they got to the stairs.“It's truly nothing,” he said, He was beyond shocked, and his heart seemed to beat fast when she shoved her lips on his. He tried to pull away but her grip on his face was very tight.She seemed to force the kiss even if he wasn't retaliating. Travis soon managed to shove her away. “Claudia, why did you do that?” he questioned with a furrowed eyebrow. “I’m sorry about that, I just acted on in pulse!” she said, running a hand through her hair. Travis ignored what she had said, he twirled around to leave but was held back by Claudia. “Travis, I still love you. I have truly tried to ignore my feelings for you but it just seems like I can't do it.” she voiced out.“We had an agreement,
Jessica was about to leave the hospital when her phone beeped. She checked the caller to notice that it was Rodrigo, she gently slide the answer button before placing the phone on her ear. “Hello, is something the matter?” she answered.“Uh no, I just wanted to talk to you. There is something that I want to tell you!” he blurted out. “Right now, I'm on my way home already but I have dropped by somewhere first before coming back. It won't take long,” she told him. Alright take care!” he replied. Later in the day, Jessica finally got back home but the astonishment was on her face when she noticed the beautiful decoration outside her apartment. Red flowers and candles were guiding the part that led to a table with two plates on each side. “Rodrigo, what's this?” she asked, still looking around in amazement.He said nothing but trudged toward her holding a bunch of flowers in his grip. He slowly handed it over to her while he pulled a tiny dark box out. He unlocked it as a one-carat
Ray walked into the coffee shop his father had invited him over to chatter, the entire place had a coffee-filled redolence and baked pastries. He seemed to be staring around until he had finally caught a glimpse of his both parents. “Good morning!” he greeted them nicely before sitting opposite them. “Morning, you know what I was thinking? I felt like it was time for you to come back home and run the family business again,” his father said taking a sip from his tea.“What for father? So that you can control and dictate my life again?” Ray pointed out with a chuckle but his father wiggled his head to indicate no.“No, you should hear me out first. I just don't want you to waste your college degree, you would just work for another company, and what for? Because you are angry that we hurt your feeling. Common Ray, grow up!” his father said.“Dad, we have gone over this before,” Ray uttered shaking his head. “It's not like that, if this time you are truly serious with your girlfriend
Jessica was getting ready to leave for the hospital after she had gotten a call from Rodrigo. She was having her breakfast when Rose trudged downstairs already dressed and ready.She kissed her mother on the forehead while she made herself some tea to drink before they left. Rose had a lot going through her head after her mother had told them about her and Rodrigo.“Mother, have you really decided to be with Rodrigo forever? Is there no chance of you changing your mind?” Rose asked, reasonably. “Darling, I hope you don't think I want to hurt any of you by being with Rodrigo. You know truthfully, I’m already dealing with the papers already!” Jessica clarified.“Papers, what papers?” Rose asked. “The papers for the annulment for both me and your father, these are the papers that would finally end the problems that keep arising. Rodrigo and I can have a peaceful life once that is done,” Jessica said but Rose didn't seem excited at all. “I truly hope that you at least understand. Maybe
Rose, can you please give your father and me a few minutes to talk?” Jessica asked the moment she was standing beside them.Rose stared at her mother before giving her a simple nod. She gave her father a side hug before giving them some privacy. “I want to say my best wishes to the both of you. I heard that both you and Rodrigo are getting married! Congratulations,” Travis said with a forced smile. “Thanks, Travis but I’m here to talk about our annulment, I have already started with the papers on it and I hope that we would be able to handle it as soon as possible!” Jessica explained her stairs on the floor while she speaks.“Don't worry about it because I plan on giving you my full corporation on this,” Travis said. Meanwhile, Mitch seemed engrossed by the necklace on Raya’s neck. “Hey, your pendant looks almost the same as mine.” Mitch voiced out.“Which necklace?” Raya asked, unsure if she understood what the little girl meant.“Uhmm, that one you are presently wearing,” Mitch e
