PICTURE OF YOU 38 MATTHEW IS DEAD
ABBYI heard whispered and hush voices around me, but my body felt heavy and numb. Even my eyelids, I can't open them. It felt like a ton of weight was weighing them down. I tried to move my fingers, but even that was futile. I attempted to make a sound, but nothing came out.I gave up and used my sense of hearing to know what was happening around me. A loud cry echoed around, and I cringed, then I gasped. A baby? My baby. I tried my hardest to move and open my eyes when another painful cry sounded, and I heard someone come in and try to hush the baby."Hush baby. Mommy will wake up soon." Auntie?? I forced my finger to move, and I heard the beeping sound pick up, maybe my heart monitor. "Patrick called the nurse Abby's heart monitor_ I heard feet scamper away, Auntie Celeste sob, and the baby cry echoed around me again. I tried to move my finger again, and I made a little movement. I heard feet nearing, and after a few seconds, my one eye was forced open, and a blinding light flashed

ABBY"Can I hold her, Aunty? Aunty Celeste hesitated while trying to calm the bawling Arabella in her arms. "Let me hold her, Aunty. I'm fine now." I whispered, wiping my tears away and leaning my back on the headboard of my bed to support my body. Aunty Celeste hesitantly placed the bawling Arabella in my arms and put a pillow on my back. She cried hard, flailing her arms and legs as if someone was hurting her. I smiled and tenderly wiped her tears, and she quickly stopped crying. "I'll just make her some formula. Maybe she was hungry." Aunty said and went to the corner and pulled a milk bottle flask and a milk powder. "Hello, Arabella. I am your mommy. " I smile and poke her nose. She let out a gurgling sound, crunching her nose while looking at me. She looks so cute. Even though she's only three months old, she's a bit bigger than her age. Her cheek was rosy and chubby, with a thin hair on her head. She's wearing a pink onesie with a bunny printed on it. "Your Daddy already left

I sat uncomfortably on the couch with Arabella on my lap. Mia's eyes were piercings on me while Arabella was looking at her with a smile plastered on her lips. It was the first time I brought a guest to our home, and she found her fascinating, with her bright red hair like her Barbie doll. I brought her home because I was sure she wouldn't let me leave until she got all the answers to all her questions. "Abby.""Bella, can you play with Nanny Sarah for a while? Mommy and Aunt Mia have something to talk about. It's an adult thing and not good for the kids to hear.""Ok, mommy." She kissed my cheek before she ran toward her nanny, and I waited for her to get inside her room before I focused all my attention on Mia."How are you, Mia?" "You change." She muttered."I need to.""What happened, Abby? You know how worried I am, as well as Cora. You didn't even say goodbye to us, so we won't worry. We search everywhere to find you and Matthew, afraid that his parents found you first and wil

MIA"What? I bolted up from my seat, eyes wide open. "You....your Matthew? As in Matthew Kim?" I asked, surprised, but he just chuckled."Yes, as in Matthew Kim.""But you died five years ago.""Oh so, you and your boss were one of the shareholders that my parents didn't inform about my fake death because someone is after me. I'm sorry about that, Mrs. Arevalo. I think my mother forgot to tell you." He said as if we were only talking about the weather today. He even shrugged his shoulder. While I am seething in anger, seeing his calm demeanor. "How could you? I screamed. I rushed to him and landed a slap on his face. He almost fell to the floor without the help of his assistant. "How could you do this? How could you do this to her?" I tried to slap him again, but he caught my hand before it touched his face. "What is your problem? He seethed and pushed my can't away. "What is my problem? My problem is you." I screamed, tears now welling from my eyes. "Guard!!! He screamed, and two

ABBYIt was already four in the afternoon when Mia burst inside my office with tears streaming down her face. I was surprised when she quickly hugged me tightly, sobbing."Mia! What's wrong? What happened at the shareholders meeting of the Kim. Is Kayla there? Does she hurt you?" I asked, worried."Abby. Oh my god, Abby. He's there. He is in there in the flesh. I can't believe it with my own two eyes. But he was there. I touch him. I talk to him." She blabbered, now pacing back and forth in front of me."Who was there, Mia? And can you stop pacing back and forth in front of me? You're making me dizzy.""Abby. He was there in the flesh. He is alive.""Who are you talking about?" I asked again, annoyed. She is starting to annoy me for mentioning him without telling me the name of the person she was talking about. "Matthew. Matthew Kim. " I staggered backward, and I slumped on my seat."Mi..Mia. Please don't joke about him. It's not funny at all." I said, clutching my chest where my hea

How are you, Kayla? It's been a long time, right?" I asked, smiling, but she looked at me as if she saw a ghost."I hear you're Mr. Kim's fiancee. How did it happen?" I asked. I picked up the glass of water before me and casually sipped it to remove the lump in my throat. I wanted to cry in front of Matthew, pull him in my tight embrace, tell him how much I missed him, how much I longed for him, but I couldn't. I'm afraid that I will lose him entirely without him recognizing who I am in his life. I can wait until he regains his memories as long as he is alive."Oh, she was my girlfriend before I lost my memories. I'm sure Mrs. Arevalo told you about it." Matthew answered on her behalf. I nodded. It is painful because she remembers her but not me. "And I remember some of our memories.""She's lucky. I'm sure it was all good memories. " I said, not leaving my eyes on Kayla."Abbygail Park. What are you getting into?" Kayla asked this time, glaring at me."You, you're Abbygail Park and n

ABBYGAILWe arrived at the clinic of Arabella Doctor, with Matthew carrying her all the way. Even when we were inside the car, she wouldn't let go. "What happened to our beautiful Princess? Why you're so pale and have tears in your eyes, and why you have a bruise on your knees?" Doctor Ana asked her, still clutching on Matthew's neck. "Can you lay down on the bed, Princess?"No! I want Daddy to carry me." Ana looked at me frowning, but I just smiled shyly at her."I fell on the floor earlier. That's why I have a bruise on my knees." Arabella murmured, and I felt guilty about it."Can I just sit, and you sit on my lap?" Matthew asked. Arabella smiled and nodded her head. Matthew smiled and kissed her cheek. I bite my lips, preventing my tears from falling, when a wide grin appears on my daughter's lips. Matthew sat at the edge of the bed, and he sat Arabella sideward on his lap with her face leaning on his chest. Ana checked her pulse and heartbeat and then looked at me. "What?" I mo

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

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

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

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
