PICTURE OF YOU 18 DO YOU LOVE ME?
Abby groaned when her alarm went off. She drowsily sat up and smiled when he saw Matthew sitting on the floor, head leaning on his folded arm on the edge of the bed while his other hand was holding her hand, snoring. She slowly removed her hand from his hold and tenderly ran her finger on his silky hair, then moved to his face. Her smile widened when he leaned on her touch. She kissed his forehead and stood up. Carefully, she pulled Matthew down on the mattress and fixed the pillow under his head. She was sure that if he kept sitting while sleeping, his body would hurt later. She chuckled when he let out a sigh and snuggled on his pillow. "Sleep more, Matt. I'll wake you up when the food is ready." She whispered. She went to her mini fridge and searched for something to cook, but she only saw a leftover rice and a kimchi inside. She sighed and cooked whatever she had. She made kimchi fried rice for breakfast, hoping Matthew would like it. After cooking, she bathed and put on her

During lunchtime, Matthew picked up Abby in her room, and they walked hand in hand toward the cafeteria. Mia and Cora giggled behind them. They all settled at the table where the others were waiting for them already. "What do you want to eat?" Matthew asked, sitting his bag on the seat beside her."Just order for me, please. Anything, I'm not picky." Abby answered. Mia and Cora rolled their eyes. "Not picky is not the right word. You're a monster in terms of food. Anything that we called food above the earth, Abby, eat it." Mia commented that, causing Abby to blush. Even though it was true, she shouldn't voice it out. " Abby thought. "Mia, I'm not a food monster." Abby glared at her, embarrassed. "Yes, you are." She Retorted." Abby blushed more in embarrassment. Why she always wanted to embarrass me? This girl, I want to place a clog in her mouth so that it will stop embarrassing me. "Abby, you are not a food monster. You love eating." Matthew whispered. He kissed her cheek, whic
PICTURE OF YOU 20 I HATE THAT I WAS BORN IN THIS FAMILY
Matthew stayed in the restaurant until Abby's shift ended. His eyes followed her every move. It fascinated him. He didn't know that looking at a woman serving food and cleaning the table would fascinate him, but Abby did. Abby smiled every time she passed beside Matthew, and he smiled in return.When they exited the restaurant, Uncle John was already waiting for them. Matthew opened the door for Abby and let her settle inside before he sat beside her."Matthew, your parents want you back home," John told him, and Matthew could see the worries in his eyes. "Okay, uncle. Can you drive us to Abby's apartment first?""Okay. "They arrived in front of Abby's apartment after thirty minutes. Matthew stepped out first, and Abby followed."Uncle, just wait for me for a while. I'll walk Abby inside. John nodded in response, smiling, and watched Matthew follow Abby inside her apartment. Matthew hugged her as soon as he closed the door. He could feel that she was still eager to know who Kayla w
PICTURE OF YOU 21 LET'S RUN AWAY
Abby was disturbed from her deep slumber by a knock on her door. She groaned in annoyance and picked up her phone beside her to check the time, and it read three in the morning."Who was knocking at my door this early morning? Wait, what if it's a theft? But I don't have anything here. What if it's a rapist?" She instantly feels nervous. Slowly, she tip-toed and peeked at the small gap in her door, but she saw nothing. She let out a sigh of relief with her palm on her chest, where her heart was beating rapidly because of fear. She returned to her bed, but a knock was on her door again. She frowned. She took a kitchen knife inside her drawer, unlocked her door, and yanked it open. She shrieked in fright when someone fell in front of her. Her eyes widened when she recognized who it was."Matt." She kneeled beside him, who was chuckling, lying in front of her. "You're drunk." She whispered, helping him to sit up and lean his body on her before she pushed the door close."Come on, stand
PICTURE OF YOU 022 I DID THE RIGHT THING
It was already dark outside when Abby opened her eyes with Matthew peacefully sleeping beside her. Slowly, she stood up, went to her bag at the corner, and pulled on clothes to change and her towel. She went inside the bathroom and took a bath. After bathing, she dried her hair, but Matthew was still sleeping. She sat at the edge of the bed and brushed her hair. She smiled when Matthew stirred up from his sleep. He crawled beside her and laid his head on her lap. "Take a bath, and we will find something to eat. I'm starving." She whispered and leaned down, then kissed his cheek. He smiled, wrapped his arm around her waist, and buried his face on her tummy.She ran her finger on his hair while her other hand was brushing her hair. "Hey! She shook him softly when she heard him snore. "Matt! Wake up now, I'm starving." She whispered. He laid on his back, looking up at her, smiling. She smiled and caressed his cheek. He held her hand and kissed her knuckles. "Come on, Matt, take a bat
PICTURE OF YOU 23 FIRST DAY OF WORK
The following morning, Matthew woke up with Abby no longer beside him. He went inside the bathroom and did his morning routine before he stepped out of their room and found Abby in the kitchen preparing their breakfast. She was already in her uniform, ready for her first day of work. "Good morning, Babe. Abby greeted, smiling, and went to him when she saw him watching her and peck his lips."Good morning. You wake up early. ""I'm excited for my first day of work. Sit down. Breakfast is ready." She put the food on the table while Matthew placed the plate and cutlery before he sat down. "You look beautiful today, Babe. " He commented. Her uniform fit her perfectly; she tied her hair in a ponytail, and she was wearing light makeup. "Just today? It only means I'm not beautiful in previous days?" She teased and raised her eyebrow at him. "You are always beautiful, Babe, but today, that uniform looks good on you." He smiled. "Thank you. I like this uniform, too." She smiled. Matthew sm
PICTURE OF YOU 024 LET'S EAT TOGETHER
"Matt, wake up. Let's eat breakfast together before I leave. The food is ready. Matt, come on." But she only got a snore as an answer."Babe, wake up." She planted a lingering kiss on his face and his forehead then shook him. He groaned but remained sleeping. Abby felt terrible seeing him like this. If he hadn't run away with her, he would still have been comfortable. "Babe!! She called him a bit louder and shook him a bit stronger. She wants to let him sleep a bit longer, but she's running out of time. She'd be late for work if Matthew didn't wake up now. Finally, he opened his eyes, but he still looked exhausted. Abby hugged him and kissed his cheek. "Good morning. Let's eat breakfast together before I leave. Just go back to sleep later." She runs her fingers through his messy hair. She felt sorry for him. Because of her, he went through this hardship. "Good morning, babe. " He whispered, sitting up, pulling her in his embrace, and kissing her forehead. Matthew got up from be
PICTURE OF YOU 25 MY PARENTS ARE COMING
As soon as their shift ended, Matthew hurried to the restaurant where Abby was working. He saw her already standing outside waiting for him. A smile quickly crept on Abby's lips when she saw Matthew walking towards her. "Tired." He whispered, wrapped his around her waist, and kissed her forehead. Abby nodded and leaned her face on his chest. Matthew pulled away from the hug after a few minutes and walked to where he had parked his motorcycle. He put on her helmet and scooped her up, sitting her behind him, then put on his helmet and drove home."You want to eat or drink something?" Matthew asked as soon as he pushed their door open. She looks exhausted, and it seems like she's going to faint any second. "Just water." She answered and slumped on the sofa. Matthew entered their kitchen and poured two glasses of water. He returned to the living room and handed her the glass of water. Abby quickly gulped it down as if she had been thirsty for some time. Matthew's heart hurt while looki

PICTURE OF YOU 53 Finally
It was already six in the evening when a knock at the door came, and when Matthew opened it, Uncle Felix and Aunty Celeste stood outside the door, eyes both wide open in shock. "Matthew? " "Aunty, Uncle." "Oh my god." Aunty Celeste cried and wrapped her arms around Matthew, and Uncle Felux joined them, also crying. "You're alive. How did it happen?" "Come inside, and I'll tell you everything." Matthew opens the door wider to let them in. Uncle and Aunty settled on the couch while Mathew and I sat on the edge of Arabella's bed facing them. Matthew told them everything that happened since the day he woke up in the Hospital without any memory of us until the day he regained his memories. After he told them, Aunty Celeste was crying so much with Uncle's arms around her also crying. "I'm so happy that you're back now; without your daughter, I don't know what will happen to Abby after we receive the news that you are already dead. Lucky Arabella was with her." Matthew's
PICTURE OF YOU 52 HOSTAGE
ABBYIt felt like the whole world fell over me. I staggered backward, but thankfully Matthew quickly held me."Sarah, How did this thing happen? You're at the playground across the street. How you're here?" I screamed, now trembling in fear."Sorry, ma'am, but Arabella wanted to come here because it's scorching outside. We only wanted to wait in the lobby, but that girl and the police came." Sarah explained, crying."Harry, call the head of security now!!! Matthew demanded. Everyone inside the conference room turned quiet instantly. Only my sob and Harry's voice, who was talking to the head of security over the phone, were heard, but Matthew snatched the phone from his hold."Block all the exits of the building now, and make sure Kayla can't step out of this building because the minute she is out, all of you will be jobless." He screamed and ended the call."I need to see Arabella." I cried, dragged Matthew out of the conference room, and ran to the lobby."Mommy, Daddy!! Arabella cri
PICTURE OF YOU 51 SHAREHOLDERS MEETING
MATTHEW After I left Abby and Arabella, I went straight to my unit, and as soon as I opened the door, Kayla's glaring eyes greeted me. "Where have you been? You're not answering my call, and your assistant doesn't know where you are. And you don't appear in our wedding rehearsal. You've gone for two nights and one day, and you don't even return my call. Where have you been, Matthew?" "None of your business, so shut up. You're ruining my day this early morning." I stormed inside my room, locking it. "Matthew! Matthew! Open this damn door." She screamed, banging on my door. I ignored her and hurriedly shoved the papers I needed inside the bag and the clothes to change before I opened the door. Walking past her, she grabbed my wrist, and I quickly pulled it away from her. I, feeling disgusted. "What's wrong, babe? What did I do wrong? Why you're avoiding me? What happened?" She asked, tears rolling down her face. If I still don't recall my memories, I'm sure I will fall for her
PICTURE OF YOU 50 HAPPY FAMILY
MATTHEW After dinner, I helped Arabella wash up and change into her pajamas despite her and Abby's protest, saying she could do it herself, but I ignored them. I want to do things I haven't done since the day she was born. "After changing our sleepwear, I wore Abby's oversized shirt and jersey shorts. Yes, until now, she still had those jerseys in her closet, but she wasn't wearing them anymore when she slept. She was now wearing nighties. I never thought she would wear this kind of clothing when she slept. I don't complain, by the way. Actually, I like it. Right now, she's wearing silk purple see-through nighties that reach an inch above her knees, and she looks so sexy in them. Her pale skin stands out more, and I can see the outline of her body through the fabric. "Ouch!!! Hey, why did you poke my forehead." "Stop staring." She rolled her eyes and slipped under the cover beside me. "I just stared at what was displayed in front of me." I chuckled, earning a pinch on m

ABBYGAIL "Bella, baby, come downstairs for a while. Daddy wants to ask you something." I called up and slapped his hand that crawled under my shirt and threw him a glare but pretended he did nothing. I pinch his side, earning a kiss on my cheek. After a minute, Arabella came running down the stairs. "Hey, don't run." Matthew races to the bottom of the stairs to catch Arabella in fear. But Arabella only giggled and jumped to her father's arm. "Hey, careful there, little one. You might fall off the stairs." Matthew kissed her cheek and returned to my side. "I'm a big girl now, and I always run up and down the stairs and never fell even once. I'm careful while running on the stairs, Daddy." Arabella reasoned out. Matthew sigh. "Accidents always happen, Baby, so please don't stop making Daddy, Okay?" "I'll be extra careful, Daddy, so that you won't worry. What do you want to ask me about Daddy?" "Do you want to eat lunch outside, Princess? Then let's go to the park and eat
PICTURE OF YOU 48 I MISSED YOU SO MUCH
ABBYGAIL"Did you contact Matthew?" I asked Mia for the nth time now. I'm so worried right now. Since he walked out of the clinic, I felt so scared, and to add to it, his assistant couldn't contact him."Abby, can you contact him yourself? Andrew is now glaring at me because I keep going to the bathroom to answer your call. I will give you the number of his assistant, or you can call him again tomorrow. It's already late, Abby. Maybe he was already sleeping." I bit my lips, but maybe Mia was right."Okay, Mia. I'm sorry for bothering you. Just send me his assistant's and Matthew's numbers, and I'll try to contact him tomorrow.""Okay. You rest now, Abby. It's already one in the morning.""Okay. Good night, Mia, thank you.""Don't mention it. Now rest.""Okay. Bye Mia.""Bye."I lay beside Arabella with my arms around her. Your daddy is back, baby, and I'm sure after you told him your father's name, I know he regained some of his memories. But why he left? But even though he didn't ack
PICTURE OF YOU 47 BABE
MatthewI aimlessly walked with no direction, reminiscing our memories. I smiled at how happy and content with our life back then. I remember when we first made love. That night was the happiest moment of my life, the day of our wedding, and when I discovered Abby was pregnant with our first baby. Those memories are my most treasured but forgotten. I wiped my tears but abruptly stopped when I found my surroundings familiar.I'd been walking for over an hour, and my legs were already burning and getting dark. Slowly, I made my way to the familiar building before me, the building that keeps the memories of how I fell in love with Abby. I don't know if my parents already sold this building or if it is still under my name. I hope it's still mine because Abby and I have many happy memories here.I made my way to the entrance of the building and stepped inside."Matthew. It's been a long time, sir." The guard at the entrance greeted me, smiling. I guess the fake news of my death didn't r
PICTURE OF YOU 46 I'M BACK, BABE
MATTHEWWe arrived at the clinic with Arabella still in my arms. She doesn't want to let go. I didn't complain because I felt comfortable holding her, and I felt warmth in my heart because she kept kissing me. She's a sweet and lovely child. I hope I can have a daughter as sweet as her."What happened to our beautiful Princess? Why you're pale and have tears in your eyes? You even have bruises on your knees?" Can you lie down, Princess, so I can see if check on you? " The Doctor tenderly asked her. "No! I only want Daddy to carry me." The Doctor looked at Miss Park frowning, but she only smiled at her. "I fell on the floor earlier; that's why I have a bruise on my knees," Arabella murmured."I'll sit, and you sit on my lap. Is it okay for you, Princess?" Arabella nodded, smiling.I sat on the edge of the bed and sat her sideward on my lap. The Doctor checked her pulse and heartbeat, and she looked at Miss Park after. "What?" Miss Park mouthed."Her heartbeat is irregular, uneven br
PICTURE OF YOU 45 WHY?
MATTHEW"She brings back my happiness." I wondered why she said that but didn't question further. I'm scared that she might think that I'm invading her privacy. "Babe! I think the merging with Arabella wasn't right." Kayla voiced out, and I snapped my eyes at her."And why is that Kayla? I'm helping him. First, I'm helping him with his business. Second, I'll vote for him to become the CEO, and third, I'm helping him remove a termite in his company." Mrs. Arevalo chuckled when Kayla threw her a death glare. What was she talking about? Who is the termite, she was saying? Kayla? But why? How can she call her that? Kayla has been the one helping me these past months."Drink your coffee while it is hot," Abbygail said as soon as the staff served our coffee. I open my mouth to defend Kayla, but how can I when I don't remember the past? I shook my head, picked up the cup of coffee, and brought it to my lips, thinking whether Miss Park was telling the truth or not. I hate that my memories ha
