Two lines.
I gently touched my belly. Finally!
"Hi, baby! Thank you for coming into my life. I'm your mommy Ellie." I whispered.
I didn't expect that I will be this emotional. Maybe because of the hormones. I can’t help myself to cry because of too much happiness.
Finally, I will have someone to be with me.
Finally, I will have someone I can share all my achievements with.
It was almost two months after I went to that bar after meeting that guy who helped me fulfill my plan.
I can't deny how gorgeous and hot that guy is. I did not regret that I have given him my virginity.
I can still remember what happened that night.
I remember the first time he entered me. I felt like he considered the fact that I'm a virgin. He was so gentle but full of passion.
But that guy is insatiable and big. I didn’t know how did I survive after doing that with him. I can’t even count how many rounds did we made.
I was so thankful when finally he already felt exhausted, and he finally let me go. It’s not that I did not enjoy it, because I do.
And because we were too tired, we both fell asleep. The good thing is that I was the one who woke up first. I'm not too fond of the fact that he will see me once he woke up. I knew the rule of a one-night stand. That is why when I woke up, I immediately fixed myself and went out of the hotel.
The first time that I made a move, I felt sore down there. And I am not surprised at all because he was too big. I think I will have a fever after this.
After I fixed myself, I look at him one last time.
I don’t mind if my child will inherit his looks. I said to myself.
He's handsome in every angle. I hope that my child will be a boy and he will look like him.
I went to the door and left the gorgeous guy in our hotel room.
I didn’t leave anything. I don’t want us to meet again. One night is enough for both of us.
I hope he forgets my face. Well, I think he is used to this kind of setup. I am sure that he has many experiences and it will be impossible for him to remember all of them.
And true enough, I had a fever after I went home. The good thing was, I don’t have any work that day, so I won’t need to file for a leave.
After I saw the result in the pregnancy test that I bought, I immediately set an appointment with the OB where I had my last checkup.
When I met the OB, I handed her the pregnancy kit that I used.
“Who-“
"That's mine. The reason why I'm here is that I want you to check the condition of my baby." I cut her off.
“The reason why you went here before and asked when is your high chance to get pregnant is that you plan to get pregnant? Who is the lucky guy? I didn’t know that you have a boyfriend.” She asked.
"Yes, I planned this baby. And you don't need to know who's the father of my child. Just check my baby's condition." I said in a formal tone.
I saw in her expression that she felt embarrassed by my response. I just shrugged while she did what I asked her to do.
"Congratulations, Ms. Cabello, you're six weeks pregnant!" The doctor said.
"Thanks, Doc. Allejo. How's my baby?" I asked excitedly.
"The baby is fine. Do you hear that? That is your baby's heartbeat. And this thing here that looks like a pea is your baby.” She answered.
I look at the pea that the doctor is referring to in the ultrasound monitor.
I furrowed. “Doc, why there are two peas that I am seeing. Are you sure that my baby is fine?”
I suddenly felt nervous.
The doctor smiled at me.
"Ms. Cabello, nothing is wrong. Your babies are fine."
My eyes widen. "B-babies?"
She nodded at me. "Yes, Ms. Cabello, you have a twin. The two small peas are your twins.”
I can't contain the happiness that I am feeling right now. I have two children in my womb. Thank you, Lord! After my check-up, I first went to a drug store to buy my doctor-prescribed vitamins and milk.I also called my secretary to put my check-ups on my schedule."Wait! What do you mean by schedule on your OB? Who is pregnant?" My secretary Luna asked, a bit confused. Luna is not only my trusted secretary but also my best friend. I never had a close friend when I was in school. I was so focused on my studies and family that I had no time to make friends.
"You better tell me what the hell happen? How did you get pregnant? You don’t even have a boyfriend!” Luna asked me, almost hysterical.I just rolled my eyes. "Simple. I had a one-night stand.""What?! Y-you had w-what?!" Her eyes widen from what I said.I giggle upon seeing her reaction. “Stop giggling, Penelope Quinn, it’s not funny! How did you had a one-night stand when you don’t even go to a bar alone because you are allergic to people?!” My head hurts from all Luna’s rants. I don’t think she will stop interrogating me until I tell her everything.
The truth is, I wanted now to back out from this project but I know I can’t. First of all, LHI was not a simple client. Second, I knew what Luna had went through just to get this meeting. Third, I don’t want to give them a wrong impression about my company, CIC. And lastly, this project has nothing to do with what happened between me and their CEO.I shook my head. My twins were very good in choosing their father. Jace guided us in a conference type of room. We went straight to the door behind the office table. I already noticed this door awhile ago. I thought it was a room especially prepared for their CEO, in case he will bring girls and have sex with them. He looks naughty and have many hookups. I really thought that having a one night stand was already his hobby.
I felt Luna’s soft punch on my shoulder when we went inside the car.“Care to explain what happen after our meeting? What is with you and Mr. Escarrer? Do you guys know each other” Luna asked me.It was very obvious that she was very curious about me and Mr. Escarrer.I actually asked myself if I will tell her the truth or not. As much as possible I wanted to keep this a secret."I don't want this project anymore!" I said instead of answering her.Her eyes widen and I got a soft punch again from her.‘“What
I rolled my eyes to make him think that I am not affected by what he said. "Can you stop with your absurd idea?! If you want a baby, then go and find someone else to carry your child.”“I don’t want to have a child yet okay? But if it happened then I don’t have a choice but to accept the responsibility. And also, I just said that because from your action right now, you look like a pregnant woman.” “It may also be because I was so stress.” I said trying to defend myself and stop him from thinking that I might be pregnant.His forehead creased. "You're stress because of th
A month after our meeting with LHI, Luna gave me the good news.We got the project!I can't believe we got this project! Many companies applied for this project, and I can’t think that among all the companies, we got chosen!I can’t stop myself from thinking about the things that Ulie said to me while we were eating in the Korean-Japanese restaurant a few weeks ago.I grabbed my phone and started to call him. I need to ask him for my peace of mind."Have you heard of the good news?" He said upon picking up my call."Yes. But
I gave Ulie my penthouse address. This is the safest place to talk. I need to be careful, especially now that my pregnancy is the hottest issue now. The media are eager to get some scoop.If the media found out about my meeting with Ulie, they will surely assume that he is the father of my child. Though it's true, I want to keep it a secret as long as I could.Everything is a mess. I was planning to go to the US, but because of the LHI project, that plan of mine has slipped my mind.I initially plan to stay in the US until I gave birth to my twins so that it will not be an issue.When I’m done giving birth, I will go back to the Philippines and let the media assume that my twins are ado
Ulie’s parents will be here in the Philippines next month. He decided to tell them about my condition by then.The idea of meeting his parents makes me nervous.I don’t have any idea about Ulie’s fiance. I don't even know her name. I will be considered a rich person but compare to Ulie’s wealth. I am nothing. I am not sure if his parents will accept me.I don't have any plan to marry their son. I think that's enough for me not to worry about his parents. I should be okay whether they will like me or not because no matter what they think of me or my situation, I will keep my twins.Two weeks have passed when Ulie found out about my pregnancy.
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.
