**Vivien**

Loraine suddenly stood up and hugged Daddy, and he hugged her back. I felt a sharp pain in my chest—it hurt. I forced a bitter smile. I could clearly see the concern in Dad’s eyes for Loraine, while I, who had been gone from this house for more than two months, never received a text from him. He never even checked on me, never worried about me.

Loraine pulled away slightly from the hug and looked up at him with teary eyes. Tsk, what an actress. If she can fool Daddy with her drama, she can’t fool me or anyone else here. I could feel her faking it and trying to gain sympathy.

“D-Dad, Ate Vivien slapped me. I was so shocked earlier when she suddenly sat in front of me and then slapped me. I wasn’t doing anything, Dad,” she said, crying. I let out a dry laugh, not believing a word she said, and just rolled my eyes as Dad gave me a serious look.

“Is that true, Vivien Dawn? Your sister came to me earlier, crying and out of breath, saying you slapped her because you found out eve

    “What?! Are you that desperate now, Ate Vivien? You're going to block Dad's happiness? You're going to use the annulment? What a childish act! You're still forcing yourselves even though Dad's no longer happy with you. So selfish!” My anger flared up again. “Coming from you, Loraine? We’re the desperate ones, huh? Those words are really coming from you? It’s like we’re the ones who are the second family and the mistress here. You’ve got some nerve. You’re just showing your true agenda.” I turned to Vanessa, whose face was now unreadable. “You think you’re going to get everything? You think you’ll succeed? Dream on! You’ll never be legal, you’ll never experience the life of a queen, and you won’t get to use my dad’s money!” I shouted.“And how do you know that?! Are you the one in charge of Dad's money? Are you the one handling it? Don’t act like you know everything! I have a right too because I’m Dad's daughter!” Loraine shouted back, her victim act now gone, replaced by a fierce,

    **Vivien**I woke up the next day with stinging eyes. I cried the whole night, letting out all the pain and resentment for the people who were important to me, for the one I loved, but in the end, hurt and deceived me.I texted Penelope last night not to knock on my door and that I didn’t feel like eating. I knew she was worried, but it was better to release all my pain and tears last night so I could work properly today.As I got out of bed, I had to hold my stomach; it was churning again. I rushed to the bathroom and threw up in the sink. I looked at myself in the mirror, feeling weak and cold sweat running down my body. I looked like I hadn’t eaten in days; I hadn’t eaten again last night. Could this be an ulcer?Maybe I need to see a doctor; I need to take care of it before it gets worse. I was looking pale again. Penelope shouldn’t see me like this; she’d worry. I took a deep breath before going back inside to find some clothes. I had a shoot later that afternoon, so I needed to

    “We’ll go see an OB-GYN later.” Huh? OB-GYN?“Ha?” She sighed and looked at me with dim eyes.“Girl, did you have your period last month?” I thought for a moment, last month?“No, I haven’t gotten it this month either—” I suddenly stopped, my eyes widening as I looked at Penelope, who was now teary-eyed. Oh my god… A wave of anxiety surged in my chest. Tears were welling up in my eyes; I hadn’t had my period last month, and now the month was almost over, and I still hadn’t gotten it.“Girl, at first, I thought maybe you were just tired or it was really an ulcer, but I’ve been really confused. You’ve been acting so differently; you always have morning sickness, you’re being picky about food that you used to eat without a second thought, craving things, even at night when we were searching for food, and you’d get upset if you couldn’t eat the things you wanted. I’ve been watching your every move for a week. I just didn’t know how to bring it up because you were so stressed about what ha

    I weakly held onto the sofa as I was stunned. Penelope looked at me in surprise, quickly standing up to help me, now noticing me because she had also been fixated on the news on TV.“Oh gosh! Are you okay, Girl?” she asked, concerned.“What's that, Girl? What's happening? Why is Kuya on the news?” She sighed.“It seems people already know about your dad's foolishness. You know your company is one of the most famous here in the Philippines, and your mom and dad are known as a long-time sweet couple. So the news of your dad having a mistress is a bombshell for everyone. They didn't expect that behind your parents' sweet smiles and actions, there was a hidden mess, that your dad had been lying all along.” I was out of breath, my chest tightening from what Penelope said.What is happening to my family? Why is all of this happening?! Why is it all happening at once?“Hey, hey, please don't think too much. Remember, you can't be stressed, Girl,” Penelope reminded me, grabbing a bottle of mi

    My head heated up because of what I heard. What the heck? That's too much to ask! He's going to do everything for his bastard? Did he really not think about how I feel? How my brother feels? I laughed bitterly.“Your request is too much! You want me to talk and pretend we're okay with that girl? And lie to so many people for the sake of that bitch!? NO! Over my dead body! I will never allow what you want! You didn't even respect Mom, and now you're not respecting how I feel or how my brother feels either?! Are we always supposed to adjust to your mistakes and foolishness? You're all abusers!” I yelled angrily, glaring at Dad. I hate him!“Watch your words, Vivien! Don't scold me, I'm still your father!” he shouted angrily, his face turning red.“Then leave! Stop wasting your time, I won't do your crazy plan. You did this, so face it! You three handle it! Don't involve us in the problem you're creating! We're the victims here, hurt and deceived! And now you're asking us for help? Now l

    “Gosh! Now I understand. You're going through a lot right now, and on top of that, you're pregnant.” I smiled sadly and nodded.“Yeah, the stress I've been dealing with over the past few weeks has been overwhelming. The doctor even told me to avoid overthinking and stressing out. I need to control my emotions because it's not good for the baby. My pregnancy is delicate, Sis. I need bed rest. I also need to take care of myself, eat on time, and sleep early,” I explained at length. Her beautiful face showed concern.“There's really a reason why all of this is happening. Look, the issues in your family are preventing you from going out and working, and you need bed rest, right? So, see? There's a reason behind everything. I admire you for handling all the problems that came your way. You've been brave and strong. I know it's incredibly hard for you right now, and it must be painful.”“I need to be strong for my mom, my brother, and my baby. I can't give up.” It really hasn't been easy—st

    Vanessa and Loraine stood up, We all turned to look at them. I raised an eyebrow, wondering what kind of scene this was. “Dad, we’ll go out and get the food,” Loraine said politely and sweetly. Tss. “No, sit down, Loraine. There’s staff to get our food,” Dad replied. Of course, since we’re in the VIP section, we can just ask the staff to bring us food, but you could also go out and get whatever you want yourself, so you can pick exactly what you like.“I know, Dad. What I meant was, we’ll accompany the staff to point out the food we want to be sent here, and so we can choose.” Tss.“Oh, okay. Vivian, what food do you want?” Dad asked Mom. I cleared my throat before glancing at Kuya. He nodded, understanding what I was trying to say.“It’s okay, Dad. Kuya will pick and get our food. He knows what Mom and I like better, right Kuya?” I said, smiling at him. “Yeah, I’ll take care of it.” Kuya stood up and started walking out, followed closely by the mother and daughter duo. Psh.

    I raised my eyebrow. Why is he looking at me like that? He quickly approached us and slapped me without saying a word.Mom gasped.“Louis!” Mom shouted.“Dad! Why did you slap Vivien?!” Kuya said angrily as he stepped in front of me.I was shocked by Dad's action. I turned my face to the side from the force of the slap, feeling a bit dizzy. What was that slap for? What did I do?“I know you hate your sister! But I never thought you could do this to her! Did you give her the pasta you were eating because you knew she was allergic to seafood?! I didn’t know you would end up like this, Vivien!” he shouted furiously.I couldn’t believe what Dad was saying; he was accusing me! I trembled and felt incredibly hurt.“Do you hear what you’re saying, Louis?! How would Vivien know that Loraine is allergic to seafood?! You slapped your own daughter based on a false accusation?! How dare you!” Mom shouted back angrily.“Then why did she give the pasta she was eating to Loraine willingly? We haven'

    When the car stopped, I started to feel nervous. I put on my mask and blazer before entering the hospital. I went straight to the front desk to ask where Loraine's room was. They kindly told me the directions. I started walking and took the elevator. 5th floor, room 206B. It was a private room.When I got out of the elevator, I turned right and immediately saw the room. It wasn’t hard to find because the name was on the wall next to the door.Patient name: Loraine Herrera.I smiled. Herrera, huh? I stared at the door for a few seconds before deciding to turn the doorknob. Luckily, it wasn’t locked.As I entered, I kept a casual expression on my face. The people I didn’t want to see were there, and they were all looking at me. Vanessa raised an eyebrow while staring at me. Dad was just staring emotionlessly. Xander stood up in shock and greeted me. Meanwhile, Xander’s parents quietly observed.I looked at Loraine, clearly tired and sleep-deprived. She seemed okay, though? Tsk. “Baby,

    The next day, I woke up again in Xander's arms, a smile forming on my lips. Last night, after a hot kiss, we returned to the room to rest. We didn’t do anything out of the ordinary.I hugged him until he woke up, and we had a short conversation while still holding each other. Then we both got up to start the day. He wasn’t going to work again today; he said he’d be watching over our son. Just like yesterday, we happily had our breakfast together. “Bye, Mom! See you later! I love you.” “Bye, Baby, I love you too. See you later.” I kissed him on the cheek before turning to Xander. “Bye, I’ll just text you later.” I stepped a little closer to him to give him a kiss on the lips. “Alright. I love you.” “I love you too. Be careful on your way home. Text me when you get to the condo, okay?”"Yes, ma’am!" Both Xander and Alexis said as they saluted me. I chuckled and shook my head before getting out of the car. I didn’t let them out because we’d be the center of attention again.When I e

    It turns out we’re doing a sexy photoshoot today. I wasn’t informed—I thought it would just be a regular one.After getting my makeup and styling done, I went straight to the set to start the shoot.The photoshoot began, and I struck fierce poses since it was a sexy concept. I followed all the photographer’s instructions, making sure every pose was perfect so we wouldn’t have to redo anything. I didn’t want to waste time.The makeup artist met me afterward to retouch my makeup. Then, I changed into another sexy dress for the next shoot.I sent Xander a text, letting him know I had just one more shoot left and they could pick me up at the agency. Then I went back to continue the session.A wide smile spread across my face as soon as the shoot was over. I immediately headed to the dressing room to grab my things and change. I couldn’t wait to see my boys—I missed them so much.As I entered the room, I walked straight ahead, unable to wipe the smile off my face despite feeling tired. J

    After an exhausting morning of playing around, we decided to leave the room. I still had to go to the office today—I couldn’t afford to skip work because of all the tasks waiting for me. Plus, I needed to stop by the agency later for a shoot.When we stepped out, breakfast was already prepared. As soon as we sat down, Xander took charge of serving food onto Alexis’ plate and mine. Alexis was absolutely thrilled that his dad was the one taking care of him today.“You’re going to work today?” Xander asked as we ate.“Yeah, I have to. I’ve got a pile of tasks at the office, and I have a shoot later at the agency.”He nodded thoughtfully.“Alright. I won’t go to Batangas today. I’ll postpone it until tomorrow. I’ll stay here to bond with our son. I’ll take care of him today, and we’ll drop you off and pick you up from work. Is that okay with you, son?”He turned to our son with a smile. Alexis eagerly nodded in agreement.“Yes, Dad! That’s a great idea! Let’s pick up Mom later. She’ll p

    When I was done, I walked to the living room to call my husband and son, who were playing PS5.“Boys, stop playing now. Dinner is ready.”They both turned to me, nodded, and put down their controllers.Cute.Holding hands, they walked toward me. Xander gave me a gentle kiss on the forehead before wrapping an arm around me and guiding me to the dining area.“Wow! My favorite! Mom, did you cook this?”I nodded with a smile before serving Alexis some rice and caldereta. Then I filled Xander’s plate with rice, adding caldereta on one side and chop suey on the other.“Thank you, baby.”I simply smiled in response and served myself some rice. Manang Fe and Len watched us happily from the side.The dinner table was filled with laughter and stories. I mostly just listened as Xander and Manang Fe quickly bonded.After eating, I offered to clear the table and wash the dishes. I told Manang Fe to rest since her back suddenly started aching. Alexis went to clean herself up, leaving just Xander

    “Yes, Dad! That's it! They'll catch you, Dad! Hurry up!”I paused what I was doing and turned to look at my son and husband when I heard Alexis's cheerful voice. A sweet smile spread across my lips as I saw them. I leaned back in my chair and watched them. I felt so light, so happy. I never imagined things would turn out this way. I’m lucky Xander understood the reasons behind my actions back then, even though I was partially at fault. He chose not to dwell on it. What matters to him is that we're whole again now.We’re still in my office. After the serious conversation earlier, I decided to work for a bit before we head to my condo. Yes, Xander wanted to stay at my condo too. Our son is overjoyed, and seeing him so happy fills me with contentment. I didn’t object—Xander and Alexis need time together to make up for the years they missed. Plus, it’s safer. Loraine won’t be able to barge in unexpectedly, thanks to the tight security there.Grandma has already gone home, but she was thr

    Alexis' eyes widened as he looked at his father, his lips slightly parted. Xander, on the other hand, gazed softly at his son, his eyes brimming with unshed tears. I noticed the tears threatening to fall, and even I couldn’t help but feel emotional.“Is he really my daddy, mommy? Is that why you were holding hands earlier?” he asked softly, not looking at me. His shimmering eyes remained fixed on his father.“Yes, baby. He is your father. Go ahead, approach him,” I gently encouraged. Alexis obeyed and slowly walked toward Xander. Xander lifted his trembling hands, ready to embrace him.When Alexis got close, he immediately threw his arms around his father.“D-Daddy…”I clutched my chest, overwhelmed with emotion. Even if my son hadn’t expressed it in words, I knew he longed for his father—wanted to meet and know him. Though he never asked, I could see it in his eyes.“Son…” They embraced tightly. Tears streamed down my face, just as they did Xander’s, as he hugged and kissed our son’s

    Vanessa approached her daughter before angrily turning to me.“How dare you insult us! You’re really getting back at us, aren’t you?! You took Xander from Loraine as revenge!”I smirked and shook my head. Talking to them was mentally draining.“Why? Are you hurt, Vanessa? Because it’s the truth? You took my dad, and Loraine took Xander from me. I’m just taking back what’s mine. There’s nothing wrong with what I did. And you? What are you even fighting for? How many times do I have to repeat myself, huh? Destiny is simply exposing your true colors! And you, Loraine, forcing yourself on someone who doesn’t love you? What a pity!”I said sarcastically. Vanessa and Lorraine were both fuming with anger. It was painful, but it was the truth. They just needed to accept it.“I will never let you take Xander away from me! He’s mine! We’re getting married!” Loraine screamed defiantly.“There’s nothing that belongs to you, Lorraine. From the start, he was never yours. He’s mine. You just interfe

    “Be strong. Fight for the love that has been taken away from you. You two deserve to be happy. But you still need to be careful. Loraine is in love with you, Xander, and that woman won’t give up easily. Don’t let her hurt my daughter.”Both Xander and I nodded, aware of what Loraine could really do. She’s a crazy bitch! She ruined things between Xander and me before, which is why we broke up. And now that I know the truth and Xander and I have made up, I will take back what was mine. Xander is mine. From the very beginning, he was always meant to be mine.So she can’t tell me that I stole Xander because from the start, she was the one who took him. I won’t stay silent anymore. I won’t give in or adjust. This time, it's all about me.“Yes, Tita, Dawn and I are aware of what Loraine might do, and don’t worry, I’ll do everything to protect her,” Xander said.“Alright, that’s all I wanted to hear. I’m just here to support both of you.”Both Xander and I smiled at Mommy. She’s so kind and
