Malakas ang pagkabog ng didbib ni Lauren habang nakaupo siya sa table malapit sa makeshift stage. She's waiting for Ana to come back from wherever she has gone to para makapagpaalam na rin siya agad.

"Hey are you okay?" pukaw na tanong sa kanya ni Tyler who was already enjoying his wine.

"I am. I'm just... looking for Ana," aniya.

Tyler's brows furrowed. "Joshua's wife? Why?"

"Gusto ko nang umuwi," sabi niya.

"What? Kadarating ko lang," reklamo nito.

"Right, you were late. Nauna akong dumating when I've clearly told you to be on time," sagot niya, may halong gigil.

She asked Tyler to accompany her at the event. It was a favor he agreed to do in exchange for her 'consideration' to sell a few stocks of NTS to him.

"I'm just getting started with the wine, Lauren. I've yet to enjoy the real booze," anito, muling sumimsim ng wine.

She rolled her eyes. "It's just booze. Bibilhan na lang kita."

Tyler chuckled, marahan pang pinisil ang tungki ng kanyang ilong. "That's so sweet of you, Lauren

  • One Night With Mr. CEO   Chapter 71: Found

    Kiel was gently tapping his fingers on his office desk. Kanina pa siya dumating sa kanyang opisina sa Ace Logistics subalit ang isip niya, na'kay Lauren pa rin.Halos isang linggo na siyang pabalik-balik sa townhouse nito subalit mukhang hindi pa rin ito bumabalik doon. Mula nang anniversary party ng Star Airlines, hindi na niya ito nakita pa. Not that he didn't look for her. Subalit sadya lang talagang pinagtaguan siya ulit nit Lauren. Eric and the rest of the Samaniegos won't talk either on where Lauren went this time. Honestly, their situation has been driving him mad, even worse than the first time she left. What's worse, mukhang ayaw na talagang pakinggan ang mga paliwanag niya. So, how can he fix their relationship? How can he make things clear for them?He huffed and continue tapping his fingers."S-Sir?" alanganing tawag sa kanya ni Carmi.Nag-angat siya ng tingin sa sekretarya. Fear and hesitation were clearly written on her face. "What is it?" he asked coldly."K-kanina pa po

    Lauren's heartbeat began running a mile a minute as soon as she laid eyes on Kiel. He was standing in front of her again looking distraught and confused.His eyes lowered down to her belly and she instinctively held it.Oh god! she screamed inside her head, different emotions washing over at her."W-what are you doing here?" she finally said."Why... are you hiding things from me?" he asked in a pained voice, hurting her all the more.Maya-maya pa, lumapit si Claine dito mula sa labas. Ito ang reliever ni Lyle sa pagbabantay sa kanya for a few days."Boss, mabuti pa, pumasok ka na lang at doon kayo sa loob ng bahay mag-usap. I mean, this ain't the city but still, people have ears," anito.She hesitated for a moment, a confrontation wasn't what she planned for breakfast. Subalit pinapasok din niya si Kiel sa loob ng bahay niya. She had always known that Kiel would soon become aware of her situation. She just didn't think it would be that soon. Claine and Yaya Lumen, went straight to the

    "I want to install additional CCTVs around here. Two are not enough. I want the place to be more secured," narinig ni Lauren na sabi ni Kiel sa may porch ng bahay niya. That was just beside her room kaya malinaw niyang narinig si Kiel. Napatingin siya sa may orasan sa bedside table. It was just half an hour past six in the morning subalit naroon na agad ito?Not that she complains, Kiel has been very helpful with whatever she needs for the past two days since she allowed him to visit her. But he's so early today. She's not even up from bed.With a sigh, napilitan siyang bumangon mula sa kama. She can't believe that her bladder is full again even after a few trips to the toilet last night. She was about to stand up when she felt a sharp pain on her leg. "Ouch!" impit niyang sigaw, muling napaupo sa kama. She tried reaching for her leg. She groaned and winced when she realized she was having a leg cramp. The awful pain was intensifying by the second! And worse, she needs to pee!"La

    Lauren flipped another page of the old family album Yaya Lumen had kept for her through the years. She looked at a picture of her young self as she ran through the shore with her mother, back when their lives were uncomplicated-- happy. She can still remember vividly how her parents would take her by the beach and watch the sunset on Sundays. That picture was taken on one Sunday afternoon many years ago. She's more than sure her Dad took that picture. She unknowingly touched her tummy. Oh how she wished her parents were still with here. They'd surely be as happy as her now that she's having a baby of her own. Nag-angat siya ng ulo at ipinagala ang tingin sa loob ng silid. She was in the master’s bedroom of her house or what used to be her parent's bedroom. She wanted to make a few upgrades on that room but she doesn't have the heart. Pakiramdaman niya kasi sisirain lang niya ang alaala ng mga magulang niya sa kuwartong iyon kapag itinuloy niya ang renovation. Kaya naman, she just ha

    “Thank you for doing this, I really appreciate it,” ani Lauren, sandaling yumakap kina Tyler at Kristine bago muling pinagmasdan ang progress sa nursery room na inihahanda niya para sa baby niya. Itinuloy nina Tyler at Kristine ang pag-aayos kahit na nag-away sila ni Kiel dahil doon. It was her who insisted. She didn’t want to waste that trip for her friends. And she’s glad she did. The room really did look livelier and happy now that the cot and other baby essentials are there. However, she cannot help for her heart to be heavy dahil hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin sila maayos ni Kiel. Ilang buwan na lang, manganganak na siya. Pa’no kung hanggang sa araw na iyon, hindi pa rin sila maayos?She released a slow breath. Sakto namang tumunog ang cellphone ni Kristine. “Sorry, I need to take this,” anito, bago lumabas ng nursery. Lumapit si Tyler sa kanya. “You don’t like it?” Kumurap siya. “Of course, I do! I’m just…” “It’s Kiel. We should’ve called before we came over.” Umiling siya.

    Kiel huffed as he went out of the bathroom of his hotel room in San Ildefonso. It was where he was staying at for the past few days since he arrived there. As much as he wanted to stay at Lauren’s house para mabantayan niya sana ito nang husto, he knew he couldn’t push his luck. His wife is too moody these days. One second she’s overly sweet, next thing he knew, she’s already throwing him out of her house. Gaya na lang kaninang umaga. Well, he did lose his cool when he saw Tyler again getting all too close with his wife. At mag-aayos pa raw ng nursery para sa anak niya. How the damn fck will he not make a scene? He felt just like a useless sperm donor and not a father to their unborn child. He did say things—inappropriate things. But can’t Lauren just consider his emotions? ‘She’s pregnant. Her emotions will always be all over the place. How can he care for your emotions too?' anang isang bahagi ng isip niya. He huffed. He knew that. Kaya naman, pinagbigyan na lang niya ito sa g

    Hindi alam ni Lauren kung gaano na siya katagal na nagtatago sa base ng kitchen island. All she knew was that the gunfires never seemed to stop kaya naman kanina pa nakatakip ang kanyang mga kamay sa kanyang tainga. Gusto niyang pagilan ang sariling umiyak, but she cannot help it. The awful thoughts circling inside her head were not helping her either. She’s worried and afraid! Maya-maya pa, biglang bumukas ang service door sa kitchen. Isiniksik niya ang sarili sa kitchen island at pumikit nang mariin. “Lord, please make it quick,’ she prayed. If she’d really die tonight, she hoped that it would be quick. She braced herself, for pain to come and death to greet her. But not of those came. Instead a soft hand with a familiar warmth touched her cheeks. “Lauren,” the familiar voice called her. She opened her eyes quickly and there she saw Kiel, kneeling right in front of her. His eyes full of worry as he surveyed her. Lalo siyang napaiyak. “K-Kiel,” she whispered, hugging him tight

    Nagising si Lauren dahil sa masuyong paghaplos sa kanyang pisngi. Nang magmulat siya ng mga mata, bumungad sa kanya ang maliwanag na silid na kanyang kinaroonan. Her vision needed a few seconds to adjust until she can finally figure out where she was. White walls, smell of antiseptic, and a soft beeping sound. Hospital. She’s at the hospital. She gasped as memories of last night surfaced inside her head all at a fast pace. Agad siyang napabalikwas. That’s when she realized na nakayupyop siyang nakatulog sa tabi ng mismong hospital bed ni Kiel! ‘K-Kiel,” she whispered as she looked at him, still looking a bit pale but with a small smile on his face. Last night, when the doctors allowed her to go and see him in the recovery room, nakatulog na ito. The nurse told her that the medication they had given him had taken effect and that it’s best for her to just wait for him to wake up after a few hours. Kaya naman naghintay siya. Hindi siya umalis sa tabi nito kahit na anong pilit nina A

    Buhat-buhat ni Lauren ang isang taong gulang na niyang anak na si Amara habang pinipindot ang top floor button sa elevator. “Dad,” sabi pa ng kanyang anak bago yumakap sa kanya. It has been three days now since Kiel has been coming home late. Paano ba naman kasi, inaasikaso nito ang muling pagba-branch out ng Ace Logistics sa Indonesia at Singapore. The move was brought by the huge success Ace Logistics had in Malaysia. Wala sa kanilang pamilya ang nag-expect na papatok nang ganoon ang services ng Ace Logistics sa ibang bansa in just a year at that! Kaya naman napagdesisyonan nilang dalawa na mag-branch out na sa iba pang bansa sa Southeast Asia to cater the needs of their clients. But there is a downside, Kiel needs to work for more hours para asikasuhin ang negosyo nito. At nito ngang nakaraang mga araw, halos hindi na nagpapang-abot ang mag-ama dahil maagang umaalis si Kiel sa umaga at late na rin na dumarating sa gabi. Even their baby can sense his absence. Madalas nitong hanap

    Panay ang patak ng luha ni Lauren habang dinadala siya ng nurse sa loob ng delivery room. She wanted Kiel to be there with her, see for himself the birth of their daughter. Kaya lang…“It’s okay, Lauren. I know you can do this. Mukhang excited talagang lumabas ang baby ninyo ni Kiel dahil alam niyang excited na rin kayong makita siya. Sometimes, babies do that, you know," sabi ni Doc Angel habang nagsusuot ito ng gloves. Inalalayan na siya ng nurse at pinahiga sa delivery bed. She can't help but tremble when the nurse helped her to put her feet on the stirrup. Impit siyang dumaing at lumuha. Ngayon siya nagsisisi kung bakit pumayag-payag pa siya na umalis si Kiel noong isang araw. Subalit alam niya, kailangang kailangan ang presensiya ni Kiel sa Malaysia kaya siya mismo ang pumilit dito na pumunta.They had a birth plan. It’s been finalized for months. Part of the birth plan was Kiel would be with her as she push their baby out into the world. But that most important thing is missin

    Maingat na inilapag ni Lauren ang pink stuffed toy sa crib na inihahanda niya para sa magiging baby nila ni Kiel. She’s 38 weeks pregnant and she had been nesting for weeks now. Kahapon lang inihanda na niya ang go-to bag niya kung sakaling mag-labor siya anumang oras. Marahan niyang hinaplos ang kanyang tiyan nang maramdaman niya ang muling paggalaw ng anak. “Easy, sweetheart. I know you’re excited. Excited na rin sina Daddy at Mommy na makita ka,” aniya, bahagya pang ngumiwi nang mapalakas ang sipa ng baby niya. She took a deep breath. Lately, hirap na siyang matulog sa gabi dahil doon mas nagiging aktibo sa paggalaw ang baby niya. Maging pagtayo at pagbangon hirap na rin siya. But she’s just fine with it. She’s enduring and enjoying the process. She knew it would all be worth it. She knew that dahil madalas niyang nakikita ang saya kay Ana. During Sundays, when they’d have their regular family lunch in Tagaytay, madalas niyang makita na nagbo-boding ang mag-ina sa pool o kaya sa

    Marahang hinaplos ni Lauren ang kanyang tiyan. At 23 weeks, talaga namang maumbok na iyon. Panay na rin ang galaw ng baby niya, which she finds weird and happy at the same time.Nag-angat siya ng tingin at tinanaw ang baybayin sa ibaba ng glass house. Abala na ang mga tauhan ng events company na kinuha nila ni Kiel para sa baby gender reveal nila na gaganapin mamaya. Sa totoo lang, she doesn’t want to share that special moment to the public anymore. Kaya lang, kinumbinsi siya talaga ni Mrs. Cabral na gawin iyon dahil na rin daw nami-miss na siya ng kanyang mga fans at iba pang katrabaho.Mula kasi nang malaman niyang buntis siya, she preffered to step away from the limelight. Kahit noong hind pa sila maayos ni Kiel, she really planned to spend the rest of her pregnancy in some peaceful place na malayo sa nakasanayan niya. She really valued her privacy during those times.But she also know that she owe a glimpse of her current life to her loyal fans. Kaya naman pumayag na rin siya sa g

Everyone’s happy except for him—burning with rage for the family that has ruined his life.He would’ve ditched Kiel’s wedding and just spend the night drinking in the comfort of his home.

    Lauren was smiling as she looked at herself in front of the mirror. She was wearing an elegant and flowy wedding dress. Her hair was curled on the ends and her make-up was simple, just like how she liked it.She's getting married today... again. She smiled at the thought. It has been two weeks now since Kiel made that heartfelt proposal to her by the beach. From then on, hindi na ito pumasok sa Ace Logistics. Well except for the launching of his company in Malaysia a week ago. But that was only a one day affair. He went and came home the same day. Ito kasi ang nag-ayos sa lahat sa kasal nila, except for her gown which she had customised sa isang sikat na local designer na paborito niya. Ang madalas nitong sabihin sa kanya tuwing tinatangka niyang tumulong dito, she only need to be there beside him on the day of their wedding and say yes. Honestly, she still cannot believe that she's marrying Kiel today for the second time. The first time was not even supposed to happen if they were n

    "Here you go, as promised, six new investors for NTS Films," nakangising sabi ni Tyler kay Lauren bago iniabot sa kanya ang isang folder.Nang buksan niya, naroon ang profiles ng mga bagong investors na nakausap nito para sa bagong venture ng kanyang kumpanya, ang NTS Films.Pinigilan ni Lauren ang mapangiti.

    Humugot ng malalim na hininga si Lauren nang tuluyang huminto sa private hangar ang private jet ng Star Airlines. She’s officially back in Manila with Kiel. “We will be fine. I promise, walang makakagalaw sa atin dito. I will make sure of that,” ani Kiel, bahagya pang pinisil ang kamay niyang hawak nito. It has been days since the incident in her house. Kinausap siya mismo ni Eric na mas makakabuti kung sasama siya pabalik kay Kiel pa-Maynila sa oras na mai-discharge na ito sa ospital. She wanted to argue at first. She had been living the best life in San Ildefonso for some time now. But she knew, she needed to make the hard choices not just herself but also for the sake of Kiel and her baby. Besides, her family’s old house was in ruins. It will take some time to repair it and to make it livable again. Kiel promised to hire the best engineer and architect to restore her old home. She believed that. Kiel was discharged from the hospital early that morning. They didn’t waste any time
