One Night Mistake (English) ONM: Chapter 53
A wide smile was plastered on my lips as I walked in. I immediately spotted Alexis sitting on the single sofa, watching something. I observed his appearance—he had followed my instructions to dress up, looking neat and well-dressed. His gaze turned to us, and he smiled before quickly getting up from the sofa to greet me. I gently signaled Grandma to come inside. Alexis ran toward me, hugging me tightly and kissing me on the cheek.“You came home early, Mommy! Ate Len said you’d introduce me to someone?” he asked, pulling away from the hug.“Yes, baby.” I then glanced at Grandma, who was teary-eyed as she looked at her grandchild. Alec, on the other hand, was stunned silent, staring at his nephew.“Say hi to them, baby,” I gently encouraged. Alexis obliged.“Hi, po. My name is Alexis, po,” he politely introduced himself before approaching Grandma for a respectful greeting gesture, even doing the same for Alec. Alec didn’t respond but continued to look dumbfounded. Alexis returned t

I remember my older brother mentioning this before, but he didn’t say he would be taking Engr. Dacumos. He’s one of the best engineers in the company, but what can I do? My resort is an independent project outside the company. After all, he still works for Herrera Corp.“But don’t worry, Ms. Vivien," Engr. Dacumos assured me. "I brought Engineer Montenegro here as my replacement. He’s a friend of mine and one of the best engineers. I’m confident the resorts will turn out great under his supervision. Actually, Ms. Vivien, his team is already working on the resorts now. I’m sorry for not informing you earlier, but I instructed Engr. Montenegro to continue the work we’ll be leaving behind. I did this to ensure we meet the completion date we discussed.”I was slightly surprised and straightened up in my seat. I knew it! That explains why they were together. I couldn’t get upset about Engr. Dacumos’ decision because he had a point. We had agreed on a specific timeline for the resorts' c

Our drive to the company was quiet, with neither of us attempting to break the silence. We arrived without any unnecessary exchanges.When Mycah saw me, she stood up and greeted Xander and me. I simply gave her a small nod and smile before heading straight to my office, with Xander silently following behind. “Have a seat, Engr. Montenegro. What would you like to drink? I'll ask my secretary to bring it,” I said as I settled into my swivel chair. He sat down on the single sofa and looked at me. “Coffee, please. Then can I see the blueprints of the resorts?”I nodded, called Mycah to ask her to bring coffee and juice, then retrieved the blueprints from my desk drawer. I stood up and handed them to him.“Thank you,” he said. I just nodded again. Hopefully, he wouldn’t stay long. For now, I’d let him do his thing, as I needed to focus on the work I had left. My shift didn’t end until 6 p.m.Returning to my desk, I began reading and signing documents. Shortly after, Mycah knocked and en

I shook my head and stood up to compose myself. I was still trembling from what had happened. Xander had shielded me, putting himself in harm's way. If he hadn’t, it might have been me with a head injury—or worse.Moments later, the ambulance staff arrived. Loraine and her mother, crying hysterically, followed as Xander was carried out. Mycah approached me, clearly worried. “Vivi, are you okay? I’m sorry. I tried to stop them from coming in earlier, but they were too aggressive,” Mycah said apologetically.I studied her face and bit my lip when I noticed the redness on her cheek. She’d been slapped! Even she wasn’t spared by those two! My gaze fell to her arms, scratched and bloody from their assault. They didn’t just harm me; they dragged others into this madness too. “Let’s go. We’ll follow them to the hospital, and you’ll get treated too. You’ve got a lot of injuries. I’m sorry, Mycah, that you got caught up in this. Those two are unbelievable,” I said angrily. I turned my back

I couldn't stop myself from smirking as I looked at the mother and daughter, now standing like two candles that have melted. My gaze shifted to Dad as he stepped forward and looked at me coldly. “That's enough, Vivien. If Loraine is to blame for what happened, maybe she has a reason, right? What is Alexander doing in your office? Your sister can't do something like that without a reason.”I couldn't help but sigh into nothingness before bitterly smiling. Yeah, right. He'll side with his mistress. “Dad, I saw them hugging when I entered the office. She was flirting with my fiancé. She’s desperate to do anything to get revenge on me and mom.”Loraine said through tears. Wow! Unbelievable. Dad's cold stare turned to anger.“Look, you’re the one at fault, Vivien! Haven’t you had enough? You still want to take revenge?”He angrily said. I just shook my head before meeting his gaze. “First of all, I didn’t flirt with Xander. I don’t destroy relationships. I’m not like your mistress. An

I couldn't continue what I was saying because of Xander's sudden interruption. He was already awake and listening to our conversation.Now, his cold eyes were fixed on me. “You're awake, my child…”His mother said, but Xander ignored her and kept his attention on me. Loraine also moved to the other side of the bed. “B-babe…”Instead of turning his attention to his family and fiancée, he kept staring at me. “Y-you heard what I said, Ms. Herrera? You will not find another Engineer. Me and my team will finish your Resorts.”He said again in his hoarse voice. I sighed before gently shaking my head. “Don’t think about that right now, Engr. Montenegro. You just woke up, you need to rest. Well, we can talk about it another day, but for now, you need to rest.”I thought he would listen, but he was really hard-headed. He tried to get up even though he was in pain. His parents stopped him, but he insisted. They had no choice but to raise the bed slightly and assist him to sit up properly.I

Three days have passed, and I’m still looking for an engineer to replace Xander. However, almost everyone I’ve come across doesn’t meet my standards. Engr. Dacumos and Engr. Montenegro are on a different level.Yesterday, I went to the resort to check on the work. Even without Xander, the plans are still being followed, and the progress continues. The team really works quickly. Because I was impressed by the progress, I treated them to lunch. I ordered a lot of food, even snacks for everyone.Some of them asked me how their boss is doing. It’s nice and enjoyable to talk with Xander’s team. I also noticed that some of the workers are quite young, while others are older but solid in their craft.Today, I’m in the office, still busy looking for an engineer. Unfortunately, there’s no one available in the company because everyone is tied up with their own projects.I was deeply focused on my laptop when the office door suddenly burst open, startling me. I instinctively held my chest in su

Why do I feel so different now? Why am I willing to listen to what he has to say? Am I just curious, or is it because I don’t want to repeat the mistake of not listening to him before? I can’t understand what I’m feeling—all I know is that I want to hear him out. Maybe this is what we need. Perhaps it’s time for us to have an honest conversation. Maybe this is the sign I’ve been waiting for. If we can make peace with each other, I might finally be able to introduce Alexis to him. I’ll be able to breathe easier, free from the weight on my shoulders.I kept my eyes on him, waiting for him to speak. His calm, bronze-colored eyes looked into mine before he spoke softly.“The relationship Loraine and I have is because of my mom and Vanessa’s wishes—an arranged marriage.”I was shocked. Arranged marriage? I didn’t expect that. His grip on my hand tightened as he looked away before continuing.“I had no intention of agreeing because I didn’t feel anything for Loraine. I was content with the

“You are so beautiful, Ms. Vivien. I only did a simple makeup look on you, but your beauty truly stands out.” I gave a sweet smile to the makeup artist assigned to me today. She was just doing a quick touch-up on my makeup before I headed out onto the runway. Today is the fashion show where I was invited by a very famous designer. I actually just found that out now. I'm here with my supportive boyfriend. I know he's sitting in the VIP section along with the other guests. I took a deep breath before walking backstage. Once I saw that my fellow model had returned, I held my head high and strutted onto the runway. A loud cheer erupted as soon as I stepped out. All the photographers turned their attention to me, scrambling to take shots. But I paid them no mind. I focused on my walk, wanting to bring life to the outfit I was wearing. I gave it my best. My face remained serious as I walked, and when I reached the end of the runway, my eyes immediately searched for Xander. It didn’t

Mics answered the call. “Hello, Love?”I grinned at the endearment he used for Mics. So cheesy! I signaled Mics to respond. “Yes, Love?”We heard my brother sigh on the other line. “I'm sorry for earlier, for our argument. I didn’t mean it, I was just tired… and I miss you… I miss you so much, and I just want to see you.” Mics blushed at what my brother said, while I was grinning like crazy but also feeling giddy! His voice was so tender! Is this really my brother talking? “Hey. Love. Still there? Why aren’t you answering? Are you still mad at me?”I signaled Mics not to say anything. She nodded. “Love? I’m sorry, okay? Wait, it’s already lunchtime—have you eaten? Where’s Vi?” “Love, talk to me, please?” “Don't be like this, Love. It won't make me feel better. I can’t work properly when we're like this. I'm sorry, don’t be mad at me. Okay, how about this? I'll pick you up later for dinner. I’ll make it up to you. And I miss you so, so much.” The redness on Mics’

My brother is really something else. Unbelievable… Geez! How did we not notice? They’re really good at hiding things. “Oh my gosh! You’ve been together for almost a year? Why did you hide it from us?” I asked in shock. Mics just gave me an embarrassed smile. “I don’t know why your brother doesn’t want to tell all of you. It’s hard to keep it a secret, you know. I don’t get what’s up with him.”Oh, so it was my brilliant brother who decided to keep it from us, huh? “Argh! I can’t believe he hid it from us! And we didn’t even notice. I had no idea my brother had a talent for acting.”I slumped back in my chair, crossing my arms. I’m not okay—I got played by my own brother! “I’m sorry, Vivi. Honestly, I wanted to tell you, but he didn’t want me to. That’s something we argue about sometimes.” I could see in Mics' eyes that she was telling the truth. She wanted to admit it to me, but my brother ruined it. He probably didn’t want us teasing him. “It’s okay. If I hadn’t caug

I dragged Xander along until we reached the front of the elevator. He remained silent while waiting for the elevator to open. I sighed before taking my phone out of my bag. I don’t think I’ll go to the office today. I’ll just text Mics and let her handle things for now. There aren’t any meetings scheduled anyway. Xander is tired. I want to take care of him. After texting Mics, I put my phone back in my bag and looked up. “Hey, you okay? Have you eaten?”I asked gently. He lifted his gaze and gave me a small smile. “Honestly, I haven't eaten since last night. I have no appetite. I miss you and Alexis. I can't leave because your dad doesn’t want to go home. He told me to stay and watch over Loraine. If you hadn’t come to me, I might still be there right now.” His voice was tired. He ran his fingers through his messy hair, let out a deep sigh, and spoke again. “She did it again. She tried to take her own life—just so I’d notice her and take her back. I'm tired of this, Daw

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
