Only the noise coming from the air conditioner and the sound of tapping on the laptop prevailed in the living room. After I fixed the rest of the work and I walked towards Lucas, who was not looking at his laptop screen but at his cell phone. "Um, honey..." "Hmm?" "I have something to tell you," I began weakly. I just can't help but be nervous because he often doesn't like me going to far away places without him. "What is that, Dianna?" I stood behind him and then massaged him. "Chelsea and I are going on a party on Monday. It's grandma Epang's birthday, is it okay if I go? Her cousin is also with us..." I suddenly hesitated. I thought she might be upset when she found out we were with a boy. "Then go, Chelsea is with you." I smiled and sat next to her. "Really? You agree even if you can't go with me?" He looked at me, and let out a soft but charming laugh. "Why do you seem shocked by what I said?" "Ahm, I'm just not good at it. You used to not agree, especially when I
I put my hair in a bun as I continued cleaning our room. I want this room to be perfect before he arrives, cause this is the place we will start to fulfill our plan to have our own family. Opened the window and smiled at the steamed window inside the room. The joy I feel is strange, because Lucas will be home in just three days. It's like I didn't realize the months had passed. I can really feel that my dream to have a child with my husband Lucas, will soon be fulfilled. I can totally imagine now how it's gonna be like having kids of our own. The way it has to feel to walk into our home as the parents of a kid would surely be amazing. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard my cell phone ring. I wiped a few beads of sweat from my forehead, also some dust from my hand and then I checked who texted. What I thought was Lucas' name turned out to be an unknown number. I was surprised, it was not familiar to me. "Who is that?" I whispered to myself. Out of curiosity I opened
As I arrived at London Station I immediately found a taxi driver to take me to the building where Lucas is staying. During the trip, I was constantly squeezing my palm. A few minutes later I arrived and immediately paid for my ride. I adjusted the bag on my shoulder while looking up at the building in front of me despite the strong sunlight. Every step I took made my heart beat faster. The closer I got to Lucas the more nervous I grew. After about a minute of me walking in circles around the building, my nerves were shot and I had no choice but to go in and ask for him. "May I ask where I can find Lucas Rodriguez?" I asked nervously as I stepped inside the lobby. The receptionist smiled at me after looking back at me again after looking at the computer in front of her. "Yes ma'am, he's currently in room 3." The receptionist pointed the way. "Thank you." I didn't waste any more time. Although with every step I took my knees got cold. In my mind I kept praying that he woul
"Don't you trust me?" "Who sent you that picture?" This is what he said next. I removed his grip on my hands. "Don't answer me another question, Lucas," I said coldly. "Fine..." "The woman in the picture is my step-sister, Sanya. The baby? That's my niece, Charmaine. That's her daughter." Somehow my heart slowed down after I heard him say these words, but there was still a bigger part of me that doubted. "Step-sister? You have a sister outside? You didn't tell me that, Lucas." He sighed and rubbed his temple slowly. I bent down slightly and tried to follow his gaze, because I wanted to see if he was really telling the truth. "I know, Dianna..." "And I really want to apologize to you because I didn't say that, that I didn't let you know even when I was dating you." "T-The truth is that our family's past is complicated, especially when it comes to her. She's been through a lot. She's addicted to drugs, despite being a famous model. She's been going back and forth to rehab.
"Dianna, where are you going?" After she told me where his cousin Dylan lived I went straight to the garage to my car. "I'm going to talk to your cousin, Chelsea! She needs to tell me the reason why he's messing up our lives." "Huh? Why? Wait a minute, I really don't understand you." I closed my eyes tightly and then looked at her for a moment. "Oh, why do you look at me like that?" "Chelsea, do you know something?" "What? I really don't get you, Dianna." "The unknown number that sent me the picture is none other than Dylan's number. Didn't I show you the message? Why didn't you tell me that it was Dylan's?" "I didn't notice that, Dianna. Dylan's number that called me earlier must have been three weeks since he bought it. He has two numbers from me, and I still haven't memorized them." "Another thing is that my cousin is not a bad person. Even though he grew up in another country, I know his true character. If he is the one who sent it, he is sure of it." I took a deep bre
He just returned after his work in London two weeks ago, which I'll admit added more distance between us, but all the wasted time we spent with each other in the past few months was replaced by his warm embrace. I now feel true joy more. "This is one of the things I missed so much honey," I said as he pulled me closer to his body and hugged me. I rested my head on his shoulder. "Me too. We are too busy with our jobs. But I said, I will get back to you." We stayed lying on our bed just enjoying the warmth coming from each other. This is it, we have started to fulfill our dream as a couple. I just looked up at him for a few moments. "Um, so..." I began. He was already looking at me, waiting. "We can start planning to have a baby, right?" He nodded at me and gave me a deep look. As I see his reaction , I couldn't help but smile broadly. "Of course. I'm actually researching on google how I can make you easily pregnant. As well as those things that I need to prepare for whe
"Bye honey! No need to cook for our dinner later. I'll just buy it outside." He quickly kissed me on my cheek. I nodded to him. "Be careful!" "Are you sure you won't go with me?" This is one of the things I enjoy. Since he came back here to the Philippines, almost everything has gone back to the way it was before. "I want to but I haven't gotten dressed yet, my work schedule is still later. You'll just be late if you wait for me." "Okay then, take care too." I waved my hand at him and when his car started and I couldn't see him anymore, I entered our house. I was about to go up to our room to take a shower when I noticed his cell phone lying on the table in the living room. "He left his cellphone ah..." I whispered. I walked towards the phone and thought that his secretary at the company had just called to let him know that he had left it, but before I could do that, his cell phone rang, someone texted. "R.D?" I read. My heart was pounding, and then I grabbed the necklac
"Ma'am, please don't tell Sir. Lucas, I showed you the list of his appointments." I sparingly smiled at Jovelle. "You don't need to be nervous, Jovelle. So go ahead, show me that." Her hand was shaking as she handed me a folder. "Thank you, you can leave me here for now." "Go ahead, Ma'am." After she left my husband's office, I turned my eyes. I opened every cabinet on his desk, but I didn't see anything unusual there. Next I approached a suitcase, but it had a code so I couldn't open it. When I couldn't find anything out of the ordinary, I turned my attention to Lucas' list of appointments. I swallowed before opening it. I skimmed the first page until I got to the fourth page. My heart beat faster when I saw the dates and times. The place was different, but my eyes focused more on his schedule the day before he went to Batanes. "Blocleaf Cafe? Roxanne Domingo?" I read in some detail. I felt weak and sat down on a swivel chair. I clutched my chest, as I continued to t
