I don't think it's right to eavesdrop on their conversation.
I decided to went back to Jace’s table.
“What happened, Ms. Cabello? Why did you come back here?” Jace asked.
“Ulie has a visitor, and I don't think it's right I disturb them. Also, you guys are supposed to come with me to this meeting, right?” I said instead.
It's true, though. They suppose to come with me to the meeting. But this two are here busy talking with each other.
I saw them blushed. I lift my right brow. Something is fishy between this two.
I just shook my head. It's not
Time flies so fast. I'm in the last month of my pregnancy. I might see my twins anytime soon.Luna and Kaela (Ulie’s sister) organize a baby shower for me. Though my pregnancy got exposed, Ulie being the father of my twins, was able to hide from the media.I know that we can’t hide the twins’ father forever, but as much as possible, I want to have a safe delivery first before I face the potential crisis that I need to deal with.I formally met Ulie’s sister, Kaela Ulyssa Escarrer, a week after I met their parents. Ulie and Kaela were the ones in charge of their hotels in Asia. She had a meeting in Dubai last week, so she was not there when Uli
Ulie’s parents wanted us to live in Escarrer’s mansion, but I decline.I already prepared everything for my twin's arrival in my penthouse. I renovated one of the rooms in my penthouse three months ago and made it the twin’s nursery room.I love plain, simple, and minimalist design. I made a neutral shared nursery room with white furniture, open shelving, a crystal chandelier, and pink and blue linens and toys.I showed it to Ulie when he started to stay in my penthouse. He likes it, and we both decided to take care of the twins here in my penthouse. Ulie requested to let him stay here in my penthouse for t
“Is it true that Mr. Kade Ulysses Escarrer is the father of your child?”I felt Ellie stiffened. She didn't see that coming, same with me. I don't know where did they get that information. We were always careful. We made sure that all people involved in Ellie’s pregnancy until she gave birth is a secret. She was always in the VIP section, and all the premises in the hospital were exclusively for her during her delivery and even during checkups. We know that we can’t keep it a secret forever. But we want to announce it ourselves. We even plan to do a party to tell the twins. I held Ellie’s hand and squeezed it to calm her.
“Where are my phone and laptop?” Ellie bombarded me as soon as I enter the nursery room.“Ellie, it's best if you will focus your time with our children,” I said.She glared at me.“I’m not stupid, Ulie. I know why did you hide my phone and laptop. I am not weak as you think.” She said in a cold voice.I knew she would be angry at me. I don't want her to be hurt.“I know, but let me handle this,” I said, full of concern.“I don’t need you to fight my battles. I have been doing this alone, and I h
“Great because I have now the lead.” My eyes widen. They got the lead this fast! LHI is a company you can’t easily beat. “Did you know RV Engineering and Architectural Services?” He asked in a serious voice.I smirked. I knew it. They are behind this.“Of course I know them. They are the leading company in the architecture and engineering industry here in the country.” I said. “Okay. But did you have any issue or conflict with them?”“Are they the one behind all these?”
Four days before we announced the press conference“Ellie, I have a meeting today with RV shitty company,” I informed her.She chuckled. “You are so mean, Ulie.”I clenched my jaw. “That name suits their company. I will never forgive them for what they did to you. I will surely make them pay. They insulted you an Escarrer.”Her forehead creased. “I am not part of Escarrer.” She corrected me.I smirked. “The moment you gave birth to our children, you automatically became part of the Escarrer family.”Sh
‘Hey Ellie, are you available for a meeting?’ “I guess. Why?” ‘We will be opening a restaurant in Tagaytay, and we want CIC to do this project.” My eyes widen. I was surprised when Nick calls me all of a sudden. Wow! After LHI, we will be working on another big project. Hearts Restaurant Group is a famous restaurant here in the Philippines because of its reputation in the US. They were one of the known high-end restaurants in America. My issue about LHI will end soon. The pres
“You look pale, Ellie. Are you sick?” Ulie asked.He looks at me with pure concern on his face.“No. I’m good. I wasn’t able to sleep well because I am thinking about today’s meeting.” I lied.The truth is, I wasn’t able to sleep at all because his kiss last night keeps bugging me.Ulie and I were clear about our relationship. We are nothing but Alistair and Amelia’s parents. We are both aware that we don’t need to pretend a couple for the twins. We want to raise them fully aware of their parent’s actual relationship status.I never ask him to be faithful becaus
I thought that life is so unfair. I even hated God for letting all of this happened. I only loved one woman in my life, but why did God allow me to be the reason for her sufferings? I hated God so much that I tried to kill myself. I feel like, my mere existence is the cause of the suffering of many people. The suffering of the people I love. They said when you don’t understand, you just need to trust God. I failed to do this. I failed to trust Him. One thing God has proved to me was, he is still in control. He did not let me die, instead, He gave me what I longed desire, and that is Ellie. I can’t believe that s
“Ellie, my brother committed suicide.” “W-what?!” Kaela didn’t say anything. All I can hear was her nonstop crying. I hang up the phone and went straight to the hospital. I called Luna and asked her to go to the hospital to take care of the kids. When we reached the hospital Luna was already there. “I heard what happen. How is he?” She said upon seeing me. “I don’t know yet. I need to talk to Kaela first. Can you get the kids and take care of them?” I asked. Luna nodded. “Don
I was so down after my daughter pushed me away. I asked my son to stay with her sister tonight. I know that Amelia needed her brother right now. Even though Amelia bullies her twin brother most of the time, Alistair is still her confidant. Also, I wanted to be to go to my parents. I need their comfort. So I drove my car to their mausoleum. It’s really a good thing that I made this mausoleum like a home. Especially in times like this. When I went inside and saw my parent's grave, tears start to fall again. “Mom,” My voice broke. “My daughter hates me. She doesn’t want to listen to my explanati
“What kind of stupid question is that? Of course, I’m not fine. My daughter hates me now. It’s all your fault.”Ellie hates me and I can’t blame her. It was my mistake who took away the lives of the people close to her... Ellie’s only family.Because of me, Ellie became an orphan. She needs to take on difficulties and responsibilities at an early age. I am proud of how strong she became but I am also mad at myself because she could have avoided this kind of loneliness and hardship if it wasn’t for me. I keep on questioning myself why did I do that?! Why did I try to beat the red light?! I should have waited! I was able to wait for her for five years, but why can’t I wait for a minute or two?
“What’s there to explain about? We heard about your plan with her loud and clear! You are so selfish, mom! I hate you!” Amelia shouted then she went out of my office.I glared at Hadley. She covers her mouth. “Oppps, I’m sorry! But don't worry everything will be alright after I execute my plan. Bye!” Then she went out of my office as if she won a lottery. I felt so weak. My daughter hates me more now. But what is she doing here? I was about to go to Luna and ask her why Amelia was in my office when I saw Alistair looking at me. I went to him and hold his hand. “Alistair I will expl
“Hi, Ellie. Amelia called me and she wants me to take her to the mansion.” Karma explained when I was the one who opened the door for her.I just nodded and I open the door widely for her to come in. I showed her to the twins’ room. I saw both of them sitting on their respective bed. But Amelia has a bag with her, looking determined to leave me. I controlled my tears from falling. I know I messed up big time. I guess they are better to stay in Escarrer mansion than be with me. I was still mourning for my parents. I was not able to mourn for them before because things happened so quickly that I find it hard to absorb everything.
“Come back home. The kids are waiting for you.”I was stunned for a moment. We often believe that everything happens for a reason. But I can’t seem to figure out why all these things happened. Why did God let me fall for someone responsible for my parents’ death? Why did God let me have children with him? I even let myself believe that Ulie was the one for me. “Are you okay?” I did not notice Luna’s presence. I was so consumed by my emotion. “I would be lying if I told you that I am okay because it’s so
I woke up with a heavy heart. I look at myself in the mirror. My eyes were swollen from crying all night. I still can’t believe that this is all happening. I can’t believe the person I entrusted my heart to broke it again for the second time. I regret meeting him. My phone rang. It's the phone we gave to the twins. “Hello?” “Mommy! Where are you? Why are you not staying in the house? Are you with dad?” Amelia asked. My eyes started to well up again. “I... I was at your grandparents’ mausoleum. I dream of the
“I was the one who killed your parents. I was the one who causes the accident.”“What are you saying?” I was so worried when Ulie suddenly passed out after he was shouting for pain. I immediately call the ambulance. Flashback The first person that came out of my mind was Quen. I called him and told him about what happened. “How is he?” Queen said as soon as he arrived at the hospital. “The doctor said that he is stable now. But they will run some tests to find out why he was suddenly in pain.” I said.
