“What if she ask you to give Ulie to her, will you give her what she wants?”
My forehead furrowed. “Why are you asking me these kind of questions? Did something happen?”
He shrugged. “Nothing. I was just curious. The Adelson didn’t do anything when the Escarrer cancel the marriage that they have agreed on.”
He has a point, even I, myself were quite surprise when the Adelson didn’t made any move nor reaction on Escarrer’s sudden decision.
“What do you think?” He asked me.
I heaved a sighed. “I’m don’t know. I don’t know them personally, I
Ulie is clingy these past few days. It all started when I told him that Nick and I are friends. I see him in my office every lunchtime, and he will invite me to have lunch with him. I can’t reject him because he will always assume that the reason why I am rejecting him is because of Nick.One time I have a lunch meeting with someone. We are having our breakfast when I inform him about my lunch meeting.He said to me. “Are you sure that it's a business lunch meeting, or you will just meet Nick?”I rolled my eyes. “Why will I lie to you? I will meet Ms. Hernandez to discuss a potential project with them
“Are my babies ready?” I smile at Ulie as I showed him the twins. Today is their dedication day in the Church and also their official appearance to the public (with media).“They are so beautiful.” Ulie utter as he gives the twins kisses.“Of course they are. We are their parents, it’s already given.” I confidently said to him.He chuckled. “Mommy is getting cocky here. But we can’t deny that she is correct. Right babies?”The twins giggles as if they understand what we told them.I can’t help m
Time flies so fast. Many unexpected things happened. Who would have thought that my plan of having someone to be with will come to this?I only want to have a child of my own, but God gave me more. He gave me a great partner-not romantically, but he can still be considered as family. Ulysses is a great dad to my soon-to-be five years old twin. Aside from Ulie, God gave me his family. It’s like a package deal.I couldn’t ask for more. I am very contented with my life right now, not to mention how my company grew for the past five years. We are now one of the in-demand architecture and engineering companies.Our company starts receiving clients abroad. My parent's vision for the company is now happening. I am sure that they are happy with all the c
“I heard that you had a meeting with Mr. Schulz?”I smiled and nodded at uncle Laertes. “Yes, Uncle. They are planning to have Schulz Tech's first office building here in the Philippines.”We are currently eating our dinner together as a family.“I assume that you already close the deal.”“I haven't closed the deal yet, but I will am confident that I will,” I said confidently.I am confident to say this because I know my capability and my subordinates as well. We proved that already for the past years.“What
My interest in Hadley Adelson started when Nick told me about her, how he became close with Ulie because of her. After I talked with Ulie about his friendship with Mr. Schulz, my interest in Hadley grew. I suddenly wonder, does Ulie like Hadley Adelson too?I could not ask him to elaborate on why his friendship with Mr. Schulz was ruined because of Hadley Adelson. After he told me that Hadley is the reason why their friendship was over, Amelia woke up and she was looking for us. We had no choice but to finish our conversation and went to Amelia to get her back to sleep.If I am not mistaken, Ulie wanted to cancel the wedding, and I don’t see why Mr. Schulz will get angry with Ulie. Unless Ulie also has a feeling with Hadley Adelson, he had no choice but to let her go because of his friendship with Mr. Schulz.
In a few weeks, my twins will turn five. We all agreed that we will celebrate the twins’ birthday in Kade Quinn Island along. We invited some family friends like Nick, Luna, and Jace. The twins invited their close friends, some of them are with their parents, some are with their nannies.The preparation for the twins’ birthday is done. I ask Kaela for some help in managing the said party because I want to focus on my presentation with Mr. Schulz. My team and I are now having overtime to make sure that our presentation with Mr. Schulz tomorrow will be perfect. When I reach home, the twins are already asleep. I watch them sleep peacefully for few minutes, then I kiss them and whisper to them good night. I was about to go to my room when I saw Ulie came out from his
Today is the twins’ 5th birthday. Most of the guest were amaze by the scenery of the island. I feel proud whenever I hear compliments about the island, especially when they start talking about the villas and suites of the island.“Who’s the architect of this island?” Elena, Cassie’s mom asked.“This island was designed and build by Cabello International Corp.” Ulie answered.Elena face me and started to give me compliments. “I also have an island but not as big as this, it was a gift from my husband. Can I hire your company to renovate my island?”“Of course, I would love too.”
“Nothing. I will never let myself fall in love with someone like him, even if he told me he liked me. I will never fall for him twice.” I feel weird. I know I should feel at ease now that Ellie is assuring me that she is done with the guy she once fell in love with. But instead, I feel scared without knowing the reason why I am feeling this way.“Hey, dude! Are you okay?”I looked at Nick who was seating beside me. I called him to join me for a drink. I feel like I needed it. There’s a lot of things going on in my mind. “I just feel weird.”“Is it because of Ellie’s first
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.
