One Night Mistake (English) ONM: Chapter 28
**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 knew

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'

I gasped when he turned me to face him.I was shocked to see him in tears, his eyes filled with pain and pleading.I covered my mouth as he suddenly knelt, gently took my hand, and kissed it softly while crying. “I'm begging you, Dawn. Please…” His eyes were speaking to me as he looked at me, while I, in disbelief, stared back at him as he knelt before me.My tears began to fall again. Why does it hurt so much? I could clearly see the pain in his eyes, his suffering and pleading. Why, Xander? You're only making things more confusing.But this is wrong. No, I shouldn’t be swayed by what I see. It would be best if I went away.Our baby's life is more important than the two of us. If I stay here, the problem may get worse, and I might not be able to handle the stress.With trembling hands, I slowly pulled my hand away from him before shaking my head. “I'm sorry, Xander. I have to do this. I have a strong reason for leaving. Forget me and go back to Loraine. She needs you now... Goodbye

One Night Mistake (English) EPILOGUE
Vivien’s POVIt’s been three days, and I’m still here at the hospital recovering. I never imagined something like what Loraine did would happen in my life. It felt like one of those dramatic scenes you only see on TV—but this time, it happened to me.Because of what she did, our family became the talk of the town. We trended on all social media platforms—even on the news. Xander and the others got dragged into it too, but thankfully it was handled quickly. My boss even gave me a one-month leave because of what happened.Loraine is confined in the same hospital. She’s stable now but still needs to rest, or her side wound might open up again. That’s where Xander shot her.Apparently, Loraine had locked up Vanessa and Dad in their home, which is why they didn’t know what was happening. They were shocked when they found out. Grandma was furious at Vanessa because of the trouble her daughter caused. We later found out that Loraine does, in fact, have mental health issues. That’s why Vane

She let out a demonic laugh before turning to look at me.“You really are such an idiot, you know that? Did you really think I’d let you leave here alive? Didn’t it ever occur to you that the reason I made you come with Alex was so I could finally kill you? To get rid of the obstacle standing in my way!?”She shouted in anger, her eyes wild and blazing.“Loraine, this wasn’t our deal! You said you’d return Alexis to Dawn and I would go with you! What is this?!” Xander shouted back, equally furious.Loraine turned sharply toward him.“Shut up, Alex! I’m not stupid. I need to make sure nothing stands in the way of our love! Vivien has to disappear from this world!”I instinctively stepped back as she angrily pointed the gun at me.“All my life, Vivien, all I’ve ever wanted was to be loved. But why?! Why is it that everyone I want to love me always chooses you?! Dad? I had to ruin your image to him, I had to pretend just to get his attention!...“..Then Alex? No matter what I did, he st

An abandoned warehouse near the train tracks in Alabang was the location Loraine sent the address. She said we would all meet there at three in the morning.Xander's relatives didn't agree to do nothing. Luckily, one of Xander's cousins was there and hacked the CCTV so we could talk in a private room. The others stayed in the large living room so Loraine wouldn’t suspect anything. Some of Xander’s uncles secretly coordinated with the police. They still had the police go straight to the mansion, but others were positioned at every corner, dressed in civilian clothes so they wouldn’t be noticed.Xander and I decided that only the two of us would go. We wore invisible micro Bluetooth earpieces given by Xander’s cousin so they could hear our conversation, and also GPS trackers so we could be located if anything wrong happened. We still had backup, but Loraine’s people wouldn’t notice them. We wouldn’t go into a battle unarmed. We knew Loraine — that woman is cunning.Earlier, Xander’s co

AFTER AN HOUR had passed, some of the family members slowly began returning, all with the same answer—Alexis wasn't there. Even the maid hadn’t seen my son.Weakly, I sat down as my hands trembled and tears began to fall from my eyes. My baby… where are you?Almost everyone was back except for Alec and Xander. A few moments later, we all stood up at once when we saw Xander running toward us. My eyes widened when I saw what he was holding! My knees almost gave out as I rushed to meet them.Without thinking, I took Alexis’ iPad from Xander’s hand. When I looked at it, I gasped—it was shattered and had traces of blood on it! That was when the tears I had been holding back finally burst free.“Oh God! Where is my son?!” I couldn’t stop myself from breaking down. Xander pulled me into a hug as I sobbed uncontrollably. My gut was right—Alexis was missing!“Alec, where did you find Alexis' iPad?” Kuya asked seriously.“Alex found it in our backyard, near the back gate,” Alec answered firm

Xander took care of my food, while Grandma handled Alexis’ meal. She said she’s the one assigned to him tonight. Before eating, I glanced over at Mommy, and she gave me an understanding smile and nodded. Kuya (big brother) did the same.I ate quietly because I was already really hungry. It was getting late after all, so I was definitely feeling it.After the meal, Grandma gave a speech for her business partners. She even called Mommy and Kuya up on stage to introduce them to everyone. I was shocked by an unexpected announcement from Kuya.He said that once Xander and I are married, Herrera Furniture and Manufacturing Corp. would be merged with the Montenegro Empire. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, just staring at Kuya earlier.He just smiled and nodded at me. I knew I had a part in the company, but I never tried to take it from him because I always wanted him to run it. Helping him was enough for me. But it seems like there was nothing I could do now, as he and Grandma had alre

Grandma immediately welcomed us when she saw Xander and me. Xander quickly took her hand to show respect, while I gave a slight bow and also did the traditional gesture. She then looked me over from head to toe. “You are so beautiful, dear. The dress I chose suits you well.” I smiled shyly. “Thank you, Grandma. You look beautiful too in your dress.” The old woman smiled modestly. I meant what I said—even in her age, her beauty was still very much evident. “Thank you, dear. Let’s go to our table.” “La, why did you only compliment my fiancée? I’m your grandson, and you didn’t even glance at me. All your attention is on her,” Xander said in a fake sulking tone. Grandma looked at him from head to toe, then scoffed. Xander was left speechless, and I couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh. “You still look the same. Nothing’s changed. Your son’s more handsome than you.”Grandma said in a teasing, almost grumpy tone. Looks like she was messing with her grandson. Anyway, where’s my b

THE NEXT DAY I didn’t go to the company because my brother didn’t allow me, even though our engagement party started at six in the evening. He said I should just relax and rest for the day.I had no choice but to be absent, even from the agency. Annie is coming later anyway because I invited her.When I woke up earlier, everyone was already busy. Manang Fe was sorting through the outfits Mom had sent over, while I didn’t catch Alexis—turns out her grandma had picked her up since they were the ones assisting the team at the mansion and with the catering. The grandma and grandson were really enjoying their role.As for Xander, he quickly stopped by the Montenegro Empire because he had an important meeting he had to attend. Lucky him—he was allowed to go to the company, while I wasn’t.So basically, I was the only one doing nothing. I sighed and sat on the single sofa. I felt more idle than a bride on her wedding day—they wouldn’t even let me help out or go to the office.What am I su

While everyone was busy and Xander was talking to Alexis, I noticed Alec quietly standing off to the side, sipping wine. He’d been there all along, but he hadn’t approached me or even congratulated his cousin. When he noticed me walking toward him, he straightened up.He gave me a cold look.“What are you doing here? Why aren’t you joining the fun?” I asked gently, even though his intense stare made me uncomfortable.“I’m okay here.” He replied seriously, taking another sip from his wine glass.“Come on, join us. You being here like that makes it seem like you didn’t even want to come.” I nudged him a little. He clicked his tongue in irritation before setting his wine glass down and reaching into his coat.I just watched as he pulled out a long red box and handed it to me.“Here.”I looked at the box curiously, then at him, but his expression turned sour.“Tsk. Just accept it,” He snapped gruffly. I still hadn’t taken it.“For what? What’s this for?” I asked, confused. He grab

“My Dawn... My Baby... Will you marry me?”I covered my mouth, and the tears I had been holding back finally began to fall as I stared at the man kneeling in front of me.Is this really happening? Is he proposing to me? This isn’t a dream, right? My heart was pounding like crazy. The intensity of the way he was looking at me only made it beat faster. “Baby, we’ve been through so much—maybe it’s time for us to finally be happy and build our family. I’m not a perfect man, but I promise to love you and Alexis more than my own life. We'll make up for the time that was stolen from us. I hope your answer is a sweet ‘yes.’ I love you, Dawn. Please marry me…”His eyes pleaded with mine. I just stared at him, tears still falling. He’s right—it is time for us to be happy. It seems like Loraine is doing okay now, and they’ve accepted everything. This is a new beginning for us.Slowly, I nodded while still crying. His face lit up, but he didn’t stand yet. “Say it, please... Baby, say the m
