My Sophisticated Chic

CHAPTER 1: STONE FAMILY "Are you out of your mind?" Aideen's mother exclaimed, her voice laced with shock and frustration. "I had no inkling of her pregnancy," his father replied, his tone surprisingly composed. "Didn't you consider how Aideen would react to all this?" his mother seethed with anger. "He's a bright young boy, he'll understand, and they'll grow up together," his father nonchalantly stated. "What? So you expect me to accept them? In our house? Seriously, Edward?" His mother was dumbfounded, unable to fathom her husband's audacity. "I'm not saying you have to accept them, but they will live here," his father insisted firmly. "Damn you, I won't allow it, ever," his mother erupted, losing her patience. "They will, Veronica, and that's final. This is my house as well," his father's voice rang out with a stern undertone. Not his wife, but his employee. "Please, Edward, don't be like this," Aideen's mother pleaded desperately. "If you can't handle it, I'll buy a hous

Chapter 3 Months have passed since that fateful day, and Aideen's birthday is tomorrow. He'll be six, Aiden's sister will be three months old, and Helena will be in labor soon. Edward had been caring towards Helena, and Veronica was not happy about it; she was constantly jealous, and even though she knew Helena was refusing Edward, it didn't make her jealousy go away. Helena, on the other hand, sensed Edward's growing affection for her, but she is avoiding it. He has a wife, and she hasn't forgotten her feelings for Raphael. Day by day, she writes in her notebook about what's going on in her life, as if she were talking to Raphael and telling him everything. 'Hai Visto che? Continuo ad evitare Edward per te, Amore Mio. Presto diventerò Una Madre Raphael Vorrei solo che questa fosse tua e non-di Edward, ma è triste che sia solo il Mio Desiderio the il Mio Amore per te non-finirà mai Raphael (Did you see that? I keep on avoiding Edward for you, my love. Anytime soon I'm going to be a

CHAPTER 5 Helena has been comatose for four months, and Roseanna has been wondering where her mother has gone, but everyone has told her that her mother is on a trip and cannot return home yet. Fortunately, Roseanna believes it. "Rose? Wanna go out with dad?" Edward inquired of Roseanna, who lay on her bed. "Where?" she inquired. "We'll go to mommy," Edward replied, making Roseanna smile. "Really? Little girls are allowed in there?" she inquired once more, Edward sighed. "Yes, baby. We'll just see your mom and nothing else, so it's fine," Edward tried to console the poor child. "Yey! Okay. Okay, I'll get ready," she says as she rushes to her dressing room. While waiting downstairs, Edward receives a phone call from the hospital. "Yes?" he inquired as he answered the phone. "She's... dead I'm sorry Mr. Stone We did everything we could but her heart just stopped beating and her brain stopped responding all of a sudden"- the doctor sighed, and so he is. "Don't worry, Dr. Arnaul

Chapter 7 Morning arrived, and Roseanna got up early to get ready. Her first day at the university has arrived. To her brother, she said, "Let's go, Kuya." James questioned her after noticing her joyful and excited countenance, "Excited are you?" "You look fantastic in white." She asked with a wider smile, "Really? Am I pretty?" James laughed. James said, "Stunning as always Rose," and he laughed. They get along because James is two years her senior and she is two years his junior. Her relationship with James was similar to that of a real elder brother and sister. James commanded, "Wait here," before going out of the car and opening the door. Roseanna said, grinning softly, "Thanks." She nodded quickly in response to James's "It's still early, want me to tour you?" question, which caused him to giggle at her presence. "Easy, (talk's in filipino) you'll become dizzy," James interrupted, causing her to pout instead of nod. Roseanna said, "Your Talking in Filipino Again." Her c

Chapter 9 Everyone at school is aware of what is going on between Phillip and Roseanna. It's also all over the internet. Their picture walking together, inside the car, at Roseanna's house gate, and even at the party when Phillip kissed her cheeks. As he read the articles about Phillip and Roseanna, Aideen's face was filled with jealousy. "Get over it, bud! I told you she can't love you back," Rico said as he sipped his beer. "Fuck off, don't talk," Aideen said as he put down his phone. "Even miracles happen," he added. "What the fuck? Seriously? She's your sister for God's sake, and you've been older than her for 6 years man," Rico responded. "I warned you, fuck up," Aideen said. "Wake up. Even if you turn the world upside down, right side up, you can't change the fact that she's your sister." - Rico raised his voice. "Perhaps what you're feeling now is just because you miss her. Godman, she's your sister." - Aideen cut him off. "Fuck it. She's not my sister, okay?" - Aideen
