Chapter 26 – "Curiouser and curiouser!"
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I gathered the newspapers, some magazines the customers read to place them in the rack again. All I could see was Charles' beautiful face on the front page. I released a sigh as I fold them neatly.
Dani was right. The cafe was jam-packed only when Albert or his family was there. We had customers today, but not as much when he's here. The only customer I see that doesn't leave his seat unless he needed the toilet maybe, was James. He had read all the newspapers already and I had the urge to refill his already empty cup. But we had our deal today, and part of that was to leave him alone as he does his duty.
Even if James would leave my sight, I still had Dani. There's no escaping him. I felt like I was on surveillance or something.
"You can do your homework, you know," Edwin stood beside me, helping me stack the newspapers, even when I was almost done.
I looked around. There were other two staff free so I guess I could.
"Don't worry, wife. I do it al

"What happened to my daughter, James?" My father asked him worriedly.James shook his head. "I did not know exactly sir, but she has been quiet since this afternoon,"They were talking in the same living room where I was sitting, but I was too shocked to utter a single word since I got out of Albert's office. James was the one who talked to Dani about getting me home and told Melvin that I wasn't feeling well.When my dad held my hand, I looked at him. "Dad, I want to rest," Those were the first words that came out from me.He nodded.I stood up and headed upstairs. I felt like a zombie walking slowly and blankly as I go to my room. I did not bother closing my door or changing my clothes. I lay on the bed thinking of what just happened.I knew what I saw, and the crazy part there, I couldn't share it with anyone. Who will believe me if I tell them that I saw a dark tunnel, not an alley in the back door?What could have happened if I r
Never Again Chapter 28 – In the Crowd
The entire flight to Cameron Residence was a quiet one, except Sienna. She walked around the private plane like a child, talking to the cabin crews, then to James who hardly answer her questions.Ed smiled at her, amused with her great interest in almost everything. "Why did you bring her? A chaperone?"Sienna smacked him on the head lightly, and she went back on her seat beside me, then buckled her seatbelt. I glanced at her but didn't say anything. She was with me because Albert said so."Sienna, look, that's where we're going," Ed pointed to the window."Wow!" she exclaimed as we see from above the Cameron Residence. This is her first time to be here.That was exactly the same expression I had in my old timeline. I was also awed and overwhelmed by their beautiful and spectacular home. Their mega mansion house, which has twenty bedrooms, has massive patios, swimming pool, courtyard, and his favorite, the striking beauty of the river at the
Never Again Chapter 29 – The Seer
I had hundreds of thoughts of possibilities that would happen in Albert's bedroom as we walked inside in a hurry. He gave me another kiss on my lips as he closed the door."Oh, come on now, guys! I know this is your room," Ed groaned.Ed?I pushed Albert and turned to where the voice came from. Sitting on the couch were our friends, Ed and Jane.Ed chuckled, as he tried to pull and kiss Jane, but she raised the pillow and placed it in between them, making him kiss the pillow."What are you doing here?" I asked, still in surprise."Are you disappointed, love?" Albert grinned as he held my hand and we walked towards the balcony.I rolled my eyes and made a face, but thanks to them, for a while, that bad memory slipped my mind. Jane and Ed followed us."What's happening?" I whispered, turning to Jane.She shrugged. "This wasn't I have in mind," she whispered back."Sorry," I mouthed, then my focus went to the beautif
Never Again Chapter 30 – The Red Pill and the Blue Pill
This kind of day would usually happen to me. Very slow-moving time. Whenever I wait for calls from the recruitment agency, I would have the chance to just sit down in front of the TV for an hour or two. I have been flipping the remote control to change the channel, not exactly looking for a show, but I was simply bored.I worked like a dog, working tirelessly for more than twelve hours a day. Sometimes, if Jane and Ed would be going somewhere else, I would volunteer to babysit the kids, making me sleep for three to four hours a day.I sighed and clicked the channel once again, then my thumb just stopped like it has a mind of its own. The TV was broadcasting a recorded interview of Charles and Charlie about their new hospital project. Little Charlie was now grown up, and he looked like Albert in his age, except for the curly hair. I stared at him, barely listening to what the interview was all about."Have you ever wanted to be a doctor just like your brother?" a
Never Again Chapter 31 – The Invitation
Work on a Sunday – boring!A night without Albert – boring!Mr. Maurice's class – boring!I stared at the board while Mr. Maurice discussed a new lesson. The three of us, Jane, Ed and I were late for the class, while Albert and Diana were absent. We were all feeling the same thing, and when we sighed all together, we almost chuckled. I pressed my lips right away and focused my attention on the book in front of me.When Mr. Maurice dismissed the class, I groaned, as I hate the next class. Who would like to have a dance class without a partner?"I brought you shoes," Jane grinned as she whispered to me her news.I sighed, "Why do we need to dress up again?" I was almost complaining as I gather my things. We had to wear a gown and high-heeled shoes for our dance class today."Come on, I'm excited already," Jane beamed, "We'll be doing waltz today," she said.I sneered. She was excited because she has a partner, a
Never Again Chapter 32 – Three Things
We all look in the direction of the door when it opened. My heart stopped beating for a second when I saw Marco and Philip entered the cafe. As they walked to our table, I tried to calm myself."There's the girl smitten Little Charlie's heart," Philip joked.I smirked, shaking my head then following their eyes. They were both looking at Albert's hands on my shoulders. Feeling the need for security, my left hand grasped his hand on my right shoulder, and I intentionally lean on him.Albert looked at me, a bit confused about my action, but he seemed to like it. He lowered his head and gave me a quick kiss on my forehead.Marco whistled tapping Philip's surprised reaction."Oh oh! Somebody just got his heartbroken," he teased as he sat down on the chair, next to Ed.Philip followed, sitting next to him, and forced a smile but not looking in my direction."Coffee?" I asked as I stood. Sitting there just made me uncomfortable.
Never Again Chapter 33 – Can't Help Falling
The midnight blue chiffon evening dress was waving at me since I entered my room. I know I have plenty of time, but Jane kept on pressuring me to wear the dress because I did not try to fit it this morning.One helpful thing that Albert did, unlike Jane's bedroom, was there was no single mirror in my room. He asked Dani personally to take the mirror away, teasing him that I was scared of my own ugly reflection.I started undressing and wore the evening gown. Suddenly, I regret not having a mirror to see how nice it looked on me. The seamstress surely got my exact body measurement because the heart-shaped empire bust design enhanced my chest. I felt the layer of the dress and thought how fast they were in making it. There were light pleats along with the long dress and the blue chiffon fabric highlights my figure. The design was simple but elegant.I heard the creaked of my bedroom door opening."Jane, can you please zip this," I said, gathering my long ha
Never Again Chapter 34 – He's Back
"Jane, please help me fasten this zipper," I asked my best friend when she came to my room, but then when the person comes toward me and placed his hand on my waist, I realized I wasn't talking to Jane. Instead, Marco was standing behind me. He curved a scornful smile and put his arms around my body. I wriggled, but he was too strong.He carried me to the bed, and sat on top of me, and tied my hands to the post of the bed.When I attempted to scream, he gagged my mouth with a piece of cloth, and I could not do anything except continue to writhe as tears roll my eyes. When the cloth fell, I screamed Albert's name."Albert!""Selene," A gentle call coming from Albert.I got up and tears raced down to my cheeks as I searched for him in the darkroom.I heard footsteps, and later he sat beside me in the bed."Another nightmare?" He put his arms around me.Yes. Another nightmare. I nodded as I buried my face in his chest."Goo

Nine months laterI kept pacing the room and taking deep breathes. Albert and I may have gone back time, but this was the first time for us to experience this. I took another breath, inhaling slowly and then breathing out slowly to release the tension I was feeling.“Albert!” I screamed from the hospital room. The contractions increased, and I tried to move a lot, preparing myself for this new experience. As soon as I felt the pain and the contractions last night, he decided to bring me to the hospital. We both don’t want to panic at home when our babies decide to come out. My water bag broke already, but the contraction has often come now.Yes, Albert and I were having twins. We were ecstatic when we found out we had two instead of one. He came running to the room, his face pale that I could not stop myself from laughing.I bit my bottom lip and smiled at him.He dashed to me, massaged my back. “Are you feeling oka
Never Again Chapter 79 - The Promise
I looked up at the ceiling, trying to calm my heart. It has been hammering my chest since I came to Dr. Melissa’s office. She has been my shrink for many years, but I never get to graduate from this couch. I laid my back on the familiar leather sofa and waited for her.The sound of her shoes told me she was on her way to her chair. She sat on the egg chair, facing me. She smiled at me gently and quietly opened her notebook. Perhaps, my notebook. I have seen how it was changed after several sessions with her. With my life opened to her, she could write a series about me.“How are you today, Selene?” She asked, taking her pen from her shirt pocket.My eyes flickered on her, but I returned my eyes to the ceiling. It could be because it was her job, but I liked Dr. Melissa. She was always patiently waiting for my answers, and if I chose not to talk, she would assure me that all I needed was to call her and listen to m
Never Again Chapter 78 - Dreaming
“I leave the future now to you, my love,” Albert pulled me closer to him, wrapped his arms around me, making me feel his warmth, his love, and then he kissed me at the top of my head, making me remember what he said on my birthday as he sealed his gift with a kiss."I'll protect you no matter what, my love. It's a promise." Indeed, he protected me, but then he slowly faded, and then Albert disappeared before my eyes. I couldn’t breathe, and for a second, my heart stopped beating.No. He couldn’t be gone!The horror of being reminded when Marco faded away before us was the day he died.Terror and shock were like waves that overwhelmed me. I could not move. It took me a while before I scrambled on my feet, and then I ran to the elevator.As the elevator opened on the second floor, I ran to the operating room, but I was too late. Lady Margarette and my mom broke down in tears when they saw me. I could
Never Again Chapter 77 - A Sad Goodbye
“I wanted to see you with my own eyes, the young and beautiful Selene, the curse of our family!" Those were the only voice that I could hear at the moment. It was playing on my mind repeatedly as I sat on the floor, hugging my knees, near the operating room.In whatever timeline, if I did not entertain my feelings to Albert... if only I did not allow him to love me again... if I did not travel in time, he would be okay. I may not understand it entirely, but I was a curse.When Dani and Edwin ran to the office, they did not see anyone except Albert and me on the floor. The backdoor was open, so the police officers had a hunch that the suspect had run away. I was the only witness, but they could not ask me at the moment.I could hardly notice my surrounding. I kept thinking how happy we were last night and how we climbed together in cloud nine when I found out we were pregnant. I was hardly blinking as I looked back at what had just happened. I was
Never Again Chapter 76 – Expecting
My vision got blurry, tears just kept flowing, and my feelings were so overwhelming that I could not speak. Albert met my eyes and then told.“Mom,” He said, alerting his mother and, I guess, everyone in the room. “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I think Selene won’t be wearing your wedding gown in June,”I chuckled. After Marco’s death, we decided to move the wedding to June instead of this month out of respect. I turned to my parents and his mom and smiled.“It won’t fit.”I turned my face to the love of my life. As our eyes met, he pressed his forehead to mine, and we both cried. In their eyes, we were just a young couple, getting pregnant at the age of nineteen, but for us, we waited for thirty-seven years to be together, to have this chance of sharing this wonderful experience.“I’m gonna be a mom,” I whispered excitedly, saying those words that I could not contain
Never Again Chapter 75 – The Test Result
Everybody seemed to be anxious about the result of the test. Dad kept pacing the room while Albert’s dad had been tapping the arm of his seat like he was playing the piano. Our mothers were chatting, exchanging their pregnancy experiences. Sienna and Jane were chatting about their excitement about the possible results. We had to wait in Dr. Mayer’s office because staying in the OB Gyne’s doctor won’t fit all the expectant guests. Albert and I stood by the large window overlooking the hospital’s garden. “It would be fun to watch their faces if I’m not pregnant,” I said, rolling my eyes. Albert smiled, pulling me closer to him and kissing my forehead. “But this would be a great story to tell to our child if you are indeed pregnant,” I leaned my head on his chest. The truth was I was scared because even if I had James, it was something I never had a memory of. This would be my first experience. “I’m scared,” I muttered. “Would you rather be not p
Never Again Chapter 74 – Bloodlines
“Congratulations, you’re pregnant!” The doctor smiled at me, showing the result of my test. The lines and the signs definitely did not lie about it.I could not believe what I was hearing. Am I really pregnant? I gazed at Albert, tears brimming into his eyes as he came to me to wrap his arms around me. When the door opened, my eyes widened to see the tunnel. It was like sucking my body to get into it, but Albert held onto me tightly.We were shocked when a man, wearing a black mask and overall, pointed a gun at me. No, not particularly at me, but to my belly. My forehead furrowed because I just knew I was pregnant, but my belly was so big that anytime I would likely give birth. Before I could understand what was happening, I heard a gunshot and found myself bleeding.I gasped, sucking as much air to my lungs as I got up from the bed. My heart was pounding fast, and I could hear my heartbeat from the silent night. I was sw
Never Again Chapter 73 – Apple Pie News
“Are you like together again?” Sienna asked, gawking at us. She shook her head. “Something’s not right,” She squinted her eyes on us, glancing at our hands, fingers interlacing. “Did something happen a few seconds ago? Wow, you changed really fast, Sel,” She glanced at the ceiling, trying to remember the clothes I was wearing.When I heaved a sigh, she gasped, opening her mouth in surprise. “Did you just...”“Just what?” I asked, looking at my sister, hoping she would stop talking about how surprised she was at seeing us.“Got together,” she chuckled, pointing his lips to the engagement ring I had on my finger. “Fix your problem, Selene,” She said, standing up to continue setting the table. “Either you face your problem now or later.”Sienna was right. The reason things got complicated is that I tend not to face my problem. I tried to ev
Never Again Chapter 72 – Twisting The Future
Everyone in the living room went quiet. No one made a single sound, not even a movement. It was like they stopped breathing for a while, just like in the movies when we hear the most critical line of an important character, whether from the protagonist or the antagonist. In the middle of our silence, we could listen to the sound of crickets.Their faces were hard to read as well. Jane was twisting her lips, fidgeting with her hands. Ed was staring blankly at us, his hand on his chin. Dad has lines on his forehead, squinting his eyes as he analyzed what I said. Mom wrinkled her eyebrows as she pinched the skin in her throat.I glanced at Albert, and he shrugged.Suddenly, Mom broke down in tears. Sienna and I looked at each other, raising our brows as we stared at her.“I hope you’re not on drugs, Sweetheart.” She sniffed, holding my father’s hand. He squeezed Mom’s hand.I almost rolled my eyes at her, but I think it w
