“You don’t look happy,” I told Ellie.
I expected her to cry with happiness now that I finally remember our past. But it did not happen, she looks more scared than happy.
“Of course I’m happy! But I can’t help to feel scared.”
I frowned. “Is it because of my suicide attempt again?”
Ellie slowly nodded. I can’t blame her for feeling that way. I feel a bit happy because I can see that she is scared to lose me forever but I am also feeling a bit piss because of my previous suicide attempt, she became scared of me remembering her or my past.
But if you will ask me, I w
Hadley’s effort yesterday to spread fake gossip did not go to waste. Our confrontation in the restaurant is now on the headline in almost all the newspapers. Every article is now saying that I broke Nick’s heart that is why he pulled out his investment in CIC and I am the reason why LHI cancel his partnership with Hearst. I even look at the article in the online forum. People started to bash me and call me names. I am worried not for myself but my kids. They are the ones who will be greatly affected by this news. I wanted to get angry with Hadley because she was the reason for all this. I don't get why there are people who enjoy the suffering of others. They are so selfish to the point that they don't care who will be affected by all their schemes.
“I never loved Hadley or any other girl because there is someone who already owned my heart, since then until now. And it’s none other than my Quinn, the mother of my children.”People from the media started to ask questions.“Why is Ms. Hadley acting like she had a relationship with you?” “Is it safe to say that Ms. Hadley is just delusional?” “If Mr. Nick pulls out his investment from CIC because of the woman he loves, are you referring to Ms. Hadley?”Those are some of the questions that the reporters are throwing us.
The press conference went well. Our company is the headline in all business newspaper.Our company stocks are doing well again. It went better to compare to the previous years. I should thank Ulie, Quen, and Jace for it.Their names have a big influence in the business world. I am grateful for them.But I will be very honest, it puts so much pressure on my part because people are expecting a lot from us.The company decided to organize a victory party for this huge success. We invited the three great guys who help us to overcome this battle.“How’s the preparation for today’s event?” I asked Luna.
I feel so empty.Without My Quinn, my life is so empty. Why did I say those things to her? Why did I hurt my Quinn?It’s been a week since the new semester started. I thought that during the semester break, I was successful in fooling myself that I did the right decision.But who am I kidding? I was afraid to lose her that is why I told her that I only see her as a friend. I want us to last that is why I want us to remain as friends. And now, I lost her forever.Can I really carry on my life without her?“Call her,” Quen said when I call him
“Are they Pierce and Penny Quinlyn Cabello that I know?” I asked Quen when we were the only ones left in the room.When nodded his head. “I went to their wake as your representative. I saw Penelope there.”I was not able to talk not great after hearing what he just said. I am sure that my Quinn is devastated by the loss of her parents. I know how much she loves her parents. And now that they are gone, I can’t imagine how she will be able to cope up with this. And how will she accept the fact that I am the reason why she lost her parents.“How is she?” The only thing I said.
“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.
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
“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 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
