ONE REBELLIOUS NIGHT (ENGLISH VERSION) Chapter 104
Grandma nodded, her eyes lingering on Kalix as he happily slurped his pasta. I knew she had questions—so many questions—but she held them back.She was alone now. Grandpa had passed away years ago, leaving her in the care of the housemaids. Seeing her now, I realized just how much I had missed her.“Granny, do you know where my father is?”My heart stopped.I was in the middle of washing the dishes when Kalix’s voice cut through the silence. I turned my head sharply, my hands frozen under the running water.Grandma met my eyes across the room, her expression unreadable.“Kalix, go to our room first, okay? Grandma and I just need to talk,” I said, forcing a calm tone as I put away his toys.Kalix looked at me curiously but, thankfully, didn’t ask questions. He simply nodded and trotted to the room.The moment he was gone, Grandma’s gaze sharpened.“Does he not know who his father is, hija?” she asked, lowering her voice. “Why? Is that why you disappeared for so many years?”I exhaled s

“What the hell are you talking about?” Daddy hissed, gripping my arm tightly.“They’re watching us. I’ll explain later,” I whispered back, my jaw clenched.Even though I wanted to storm out, I forced myself to stay until Cecile finished her speech.---The moment we stepped into Daddy’s office, all hell broke loose.“You’re a disgrace!” Daddy roared, slamming his hand on the desk.“Why did you send this woman home, Samson?!” Mommy snapped, glaring at me like I was the plague. She sank onto the couch with an exasperated sigh. “Our lives were peaceful without her!”I scoffed.“You really are your mother’s heir, Caroline. Flirty! Throwing yourself at any man you want!”“I sent her home because Cecile’s position is being launched. But now, she’s caused another scandal for our family.” Daddy exhaled sharply, pinching the bridge of his nose.I instinctively pulled Kalix closer, covering his ears as Daddy’s voice rose.“I did everything to protect your life, Caroline. And this is how you rep

I took a taxi to my condo. Since we were still in the Philippines, we were going to live there temporarily. We couldn’t stay at Grandma’s house because I would run into Daddy whenever he visited. I had already decided to cut ties with them as my family.I was going to start over on my own. I would find a job. I would raise Kalix by myself. There was nothing wrong with being a single mother. Many single mothers had built successful lives despite facing hardships alone.“Are you okay, Mommy? Was that your family? They’re all bad people! I don’t like them!”I nodded and pinched my son’s cheek. “I don’t like them either, but I had no choice. They’re my family. Mommy is tired of them, Kal. Just don’t think about them. If they don’t want you, we won’t force them.”“I have you, Mommy. You’re my only family. I won’t leave you.” Kalix hugged me tightly.“Thank you so much, Kal,” I whispered.I held him close until we reached my condo. Nothing had changed. The surroundings were clean, and my ol

I grabbed the remote from Kalix and changed the TV channel. My hands were shaking when I gave it back to him.I sat up and picked up the broken bowl. It felt like cold water had been poured over me. I shivered as I saw him again after all these years. I thought he was gone. That he hadn’t survived the fire. But seeing him on TV today—alive and well, as if nothing had happened—shook me to my core.He survived.He was living his life to the fullest.But why hadn’t I read any news about him? I’ve been going crazy, waiting for updates.So many questions were running through my mind. I had been lying in bed for a while, but my thoughts wouldn’t let me sleep. I kept thinking about how he survived and how he and my brother had become close.He survived.He once told me he was willing to sacrifice himself for my safety. If he truly loved me, why didn’t he look for me?I gasped. I almost forgot.He wouldn’t look for me because he blames me for how his life turned out.He nearly died because of

When I was sure we were far enough away, I let Kalix down. I made him sit on a bench near the Food House so I could fix his shoelaces. I also wiped the sweat off his forehead.“Mommy, that’s your sister’s friend, right?”I froze for a moment and looked at Kalix. “I’m not sure. Why?” I dusted some powder onto his back.“I forgot to ask him if they’re dating or not. If he’s single, I think he’ll like you. You can date—”“Kalix, let’s not talk about that.” I cut him off gently. “He’s with your Tita Cecile, okay? And we both hate them—”“But that doesn’t mean we have to hate him too, Mom. I think he’s kind.” Kalix’s eyes were still shining with curiosity.I took a deep breath and didn’t say anything. I knew he was eager to have a father. He never asked me directly, but I saw it in the way he looked at other families during family day in Portugal. I saw it on his fifth birthday when he watched other kids with their fathers, unable to hide his longing.But I couldn’t give him a complete and

“Mommy, where are we going?” Kalix asked when he noticed I was in a hurry to leave.I grabbed a large cart and quickly placed our groceries inside. Then, I picked him up and set him in the cart before pushing it toward the parking lot.“Are they your friends?” he asked as we reached the car.I forced a smile. “Yeah. They’re Mommy’s friends, Kalix.” I opened the car door and started loading the groceries. I helped him inside.“Mommy, I want to help you,” he said, trying to open the door.“You stay there, Kalix. I’m almost done.”He sighed when I glanced at him.“It’s time to look for a husband, Mommy. Look, you’re carrying all these things—”“Kalix, we’ve already talked about this, right? I don’t need a husband.”I heard him sigh again, but this time, he didn’t say anything. After returning the cart to the side of the exit, I got into the car. Kalix was staring into the distance.I followed his gaze.A lump formed in my throat when I saw what he was looking at—a family ad playing on th

I locked myself in my room and scrolled through his messages, my hands trembling. I wanted to find his first message—the one that started it all.When I did, it felt like a needle piercing my heart.“Day 1. I survived.”It was sent exactly one month after I gave birth to Kalix. That was one year ago.“Day 7. I miss you.”“Day 14. Please, come back.”“Day 30. Caroline, I want to hug you.”I exhaled shakily as I kept scrolling. Message after message, day after day—he had written to me every single day.I hadn’t even realized my tears were falling until they blurred my vision.“Day 700. I’m about to lose hope that you’ll ever come back to me.”I wiped my tears, but my chest ached as I read through everything. It was as if he had turned my inbox into a daily diary—updating me on his life, even without a response.That’s how I found out he had graduated from college.That he had gone back to finish his studies after dropping out in his second year.That his marriage to Monica didn’t work o

I didn’t understand what Miss Yollie was saying. It felt like I had gone deaf. My eyes remained fixed on Miguel, my body frozen in place. I only looked away when she nodded.Miss Yollie handed him my resume. I clenched my fists as I watched him scan the contents. My heart pounded when I noticed the frown forming on his face.“He will be your boss, Miss Caroline. We assigned you to his company because—”“Isn’t there another company that needs an accountant, Ma’am?” I interrupted, my voice tight.Miss Yollie blinked, surprise flashing across her face. Then, to my horror, she looked amused. She hesitated before responding.“For the meantime, you will work at the hotel they own—”“Just assign another accountant if she doesn’t want to work at our hotel, Miss Yollie,” Miguel cut in coldly. “We don’t force people who don’t want to work with us.”I looked up at him as he emphasized the last word, his gaze locked onto mine. I swallowed hard.“But she’s the most qualified applicant for your hot

I ordered Daddy’s men to get him some water. They tried to approach him, but his men blocked their way.“Samson, we’re not in a relationship—”“Are you still going to deny it even now, when it’s already too late?” I asked Glenda. I helped Daddy sit down, relieved that he let me assist him.When the men I had sent returned, I immediately gave Daddy the water. Once he felt a little better, I took his cellphone and searched for his personal doctor’s number.“Come to the company right away. Daddy needs you,” I ordered before hanging up.“This is your fault! He’s struggling again because of you—”“Shut your mouth, Cecile!” Daddy scolded her authoritatively. I grinned to myself.“Daddy, she’s just trying to stir up trouble! Why are you believing that woman? We’re your family!” Cecile shouted.But Daddy suddenly laughed, catching my attention. “Family? Can we even call this a family after what I just found out about your mother’s betrayal?”“You cheated on Mommy first, Dad!” Cecile shot back
ONE REBELLIOUS NIGHT (ENGLISH VERSION) Chapter 121
I let out a loud laugh as Cecile fumed, her face red with anger. The important people had already left the company, leaving just us behind. She ran her fingers through her disheveled hair and glared at me with pure hatred.“Are you kidding me? Don’t you have anything better to do with your life? What the hell are you doing here? Weren’t you the one who said you’d forget about us as your family? Then why are you here now?”“Throw this woman out if you don’t want to—”“Aunt Glenda, I’m not the one who should be leaving,” I cut her off with a smirk.“W-What? You just called me Aunt?” She gasped, disbelief etched across her face.“What else should I call you?” I raised an eyebrow. “Aunt? That works, since my mother was your sister.”“Caroline, what are you talking about?” Daddy interjected, his voice sharp. “Watch your tone when speaking to Glenda. And who told you that she and your mother were sisters?”“Why, Dad? Did I say anything offensive?” I gave him a bitter smile. “Am I still supp

“Good morning, Kalix,” I greeted him as he saw me cooking in the kitchen.“Mommy?” he said, his eyes widening in surprise. He had grown used to me being locked in my room, crying and refusing to eat. “Good morning, Mommy!” His smile stretched from ear to ear before he ran toward me.I welcomed him with a tight hug, savoring the warmth of his laughter.Lena, Belen, and Norma could hardly believe their eyes when they saw me up early, cooking breakfast.How could I not be productive?The videos I uploaded were starting to go viral.I couldn’t wait to see Cecile swarmed by reporters, forcibly removed from her position.Even in the bathroom, I found myself singing as I showered.I couldn’t stop thinking about how they would handle the scandal that Cecile and Alexander had caused years ago.After all, she was the one who dragged Alexander’s name into the conversation—even though he had been dead for a long time.---“Ma’am Caroline!” Lena’s urgent voice came with a series of knocks on my do

I had been locked in my room for an entire week. Even the simplest tasks—bathing, wiping myself—felt like a struggle.I had lost my appetite.All I did was drink water.I was ashamed. Ashamed of Lena and my two helpers, who had to witness me like this.But I was also grateful. They were taking care of Kalix.At least someone was.---“Ma’am Caroline, I cooked your favorite food,” Belen said as she entered my room, smiling. She carried a tray of steaming dishes.The rich aroma of pork stew filled the air, mixing with the scent of other familiar foods she had prepared.But I felt nothing. No hunger. No interest.Even if she cooked all my favorite meals, it wouldn’t change anything.“Just put it on the table, Belen,” I said, my gaze distant.She hesitated before placing the tray on the bed instead.“Eat while the soup is still warm,” she coaxed gently. “You might not want it later if it gets cold.”I glanced at the table.The food they had brought me this morning was still there—untouche

I cried endlessly after leaving the hotel, clutching the urn that was said to contain Mommy’s ashes. Unable to bear it any longer, I opened it.Inside, I found a small box. Wiping my tears, I carefully took it out, my hands trembling.A customized photo locket necklace. Old. Worn.My attention was drawn to the pendant. Slowly, I opened it—and fresh tears spilled down my cheeks.Inside was a tiny photo. I was crying when it was taken, and Mommy... Mommy was smiling.My gaze dropped back to the box when I noticed more pictures inside.“Mommy...” I whispered, my voice breaking, as I pulled out the photographs.They were of us—when I was just a child, unaware of the cruelty of the world.As I looked through them one by one, the ache in my chest deepened. It felt like I couldn’t breathe.She was probably gone.For all these years, I had never known what it was like to be loved by a mother. I had always searched for that warmth, that care.I only found out about her last night. Now, I was d

I sat down on the floor and immediately hugged the urn. I didn’t know whether to believe what Don Ernesto had just said. Just last night, Lena told me that my real mother was still alive.“My real mother is still alive...” I murmured, staring at the urn. “I just found out last night that she was still alive.”Don Ernesto took a deep breath. “She passed away peacefully two years ago, hija.”I clutched my chest as a sharp pain tightened around my heart. Breathing became difficult. I shook my head.“Mommy is still alive.” I forced a smile and placed the urn on the floor. “She’s not dead yet. I’ll find her. I’ll find a way to bring her back.” I took a deep breath, holding back the tears stinging my eyes. “I saw the video. I saw how my own family abused her. This isn’t funny, Sir. If you’re mad at me because your precious life was put in danger, then fine—I’m sorry. But don’t play with my mother’s life like this. This is not a joke.”“I’m not joking, hija. And I’m not angry with you either

I sighed. I wanted to leave. My bitter smile remained as my eyes stayed fixed on their intertwined hands.“We are dating, Caroline,” Cecile repeated, her voice laced with warning. “If you’re planning to take Miguel away from me, you know where to find me.”I covered my mouth, laughing. She’s acting like a jealous girlfriend when they’re not even real.“I have no plans to take him from you, Ate. I’m happy with my life now. I’m free. I can do whatever I want.” I tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear before continuing, “Maybe you’re forgetting—he was mine before he was yours.”I met her glare head-on. “So don’t talk to me like that, Cecile. I don’t make a habit of stealing. Unlike you… who has a history of taking what isn’t yours.”“What did you just say?!” Cecile shrieked. She raised her hand to slap me, but I caught her wrist mid-air.“Try it,” I dared, tightening my grip. “Hit me and see what happens. I’ve been holding back for so long, but not anymore. I won’t let you bully me

I searched for more articles, specifically about the Gutierrez family. That’s when I discovered the truth—Roxanne Gutierrez, my real mother, and Glenda, my mother-in-law, are sisters.Daddy was Chairman Ricardo Gutierrez’s right-hand man and the husband of his eldest daughter.After reading multiple sources, even though years had passed, I began to piece everything together.The fire in their mansion wasn’t an accident.Everything was planned.There was a strong possibility that Daddy married Mommy Glenda because he believed he would inherit the company through her. But instead, the company was passed down to Roxanne Gutierrez.Daddy had a relationship with Roxanne before… because he had evil intentions.A sharp pain pulsed in my temples. I pressed my fingers against my head, groaning. I glanced at the wall clock—it was already past three in the morning.And I still hadn’t finished my work.My mind was spinning. What should I focus on now?Should I finish my work? Or should I finish w

I felt my entire body tremble. It was as if my breath had caught in my throat, refusing to escape, after hearing what Lena had just said.“M-My real mother is alive?” I asked in disbelief, my voice barely above a whisper. My breath hitched when Lena nodded.“Inside that CD, you’ll see how they abused Ma’am Roxanne. They kept her locked up in an underground facility, but I don’t know exactly where, Ma’am.”“No… this can’t be true, Lena…” I shook my head, refusing to believe it.“They wouldn’t be hunting me down if I were lying to you, Ma’am Caroline.” Lena’s grip tightened on my hand. “I won’t force you to believe me. Just watch the CD. That will prove I’m telling the truth.”She took a deep breath before continuing. “At first, I didn’t understand why they were looking for me. But when they killed my parents, they left a note at our house. They said that if I didn’t return the CD, they would kill me too. Terrified, I ran away and hid.”I stared at the CD in my hands, my chest tightenin
