That routine continued for days. I haven't seen him in the building for days. We didn't talk and see each other for days. I didn’t expect that to happen between the two of us, but it was just as he said. I should just do everything that he says, because he told me so.I don't want him to criticize me again and make things happen again that I I’ve been wanting to avoid of happening again. Maybe he’s that kind of person after all. I was so stupid to think that he’ll at least lend me a glance or something but he didn’t. He acted as if he did not know me, as if I was someone else he had never seen.One thing I realized about him is that he’s a pro. Legitimate pro in this field. I wouldn’t be surprised if that one had a lot of kids because he seemed to know very well that the roundabout cycle of the set up of two of us. Is this what he does all the time? Send his surrogates on his company then ignore the hell out of them? Is he that ashamed to let everyone know that he’s trying to conceiv
“Don’t fool the shit out of me, Hugh. Just go away because I need to finish all of these. ”I admit. I became uncomfortable. Feeling the heat of his body made me so much uncomfortable. And not just that, I’m nervous that somebody might have seen us in this kind of position, what would they think of me in that way?"Dead serious, Angel."He sought my gaze but I tried to avoid you. I struggled to loosen his grip on me."I'm dead serious too!""Shhh." he shush me. I hissed.“You’re not gonna believe me? Why do you look so bad of me? Huh? Tell me. ”I pursed my lips trying not to answer him. I don't care because it doesn't make sense if I answer him.”Tell me. Please? ”My legs weakened by his tone. He sounded so different. He didn’t sound rude nor taunting, it’s just pure empathy and softness. I avoided looking at him even more, his face was so close to me that even his breath I could feel. I bit my lower lip and forced myself not to be openly affected by what he was doing.“Angel,” he c
He clouded my shitty mind the whole day.I don’t know what I should think of his actions. I also don’t know what he wants to prove. But other than those things I didn’t know, I wasn’t even more sure what I was supposed to feel.I somehow feel confused and mad, I don’t know why.”U-uhm, Ms. Brook… you can just pass it to me whenever you feel like it. ” Miss Helena told me awkwardly. I answered him quickly.“Uhm, no miss. I’ll pass this to you right away. ” I smiled lightly politely.She hesitated and couldn't look at me nodding then left in front of my table. I rubbed my face and sighed loudly because of the look. At Miss Helena's table I even saw how they whispered one another in there, obviously about me. I sighed and bit my lip pretending not to know what’s happening. I couldn’t help but look around even further across the floor and I could still see how they couldn’t even look at me.This is exactly the reason why I don’t know why I should feel. I’m fuming mad inside because of th
That was his decision, so that prevailed.What he wanted to happen happened. He asked me to eat in his office every lunch time. But that doesn’t end in there.”So what are you now? Some sort of dating huh?”Sir John asked me when he visited my table for a paper work. I couldn’t help but look him in the eyes. I don't know what to answer. If I tell the truth the issue will get worse. And if not, I'm sure will be lying too.He smirked when he saw that I don’t have any option but to not answer him. I kept my mouth shut because it’s better that way."Just so you know, you're playing with a dangerous fire, Angel."I glanced at him confused. Did he think I didn't notice how he treated me differently? Starting that night that he asked me for a coffee break he became different."Hugh." he uttere, defining who he was talking about.My forehead furrowed. He didn’t use any honorifics and that irritated me a bit."What do you mean?"I knew my question didn't make sense because he didn't know what
"Miss Brook,"I looked at the man who Hugh was sending to my floor to pick me up for Lunch. It’s past one in the afternoon already, which means lunch is already done. The workers are all complete in here already, busy with their own world."Tell him that it's past lunch, I won't be able to join him." with a shaky voice I said.I can see in my peripheral view that Sir John is trying to listen to out conversation.“But Mr. President told me to- ”"Please Admiral, just tell him that I had my lunch already."I could see the awkwardness in his reaction to what I’ve just said. For sure he’s torn between following my orders and his boss’s order. Fortunately, after he nodded he left again.He is followed by the gaze of a few at once they turn to me. Probably wondering why I did not go with Admiral, which means why I’m not having lunch with Hugh. The truth is I didn’t have lunch. After that conversation with that blonde woman, I walked straight in here. Hugh didn’t arrive either, maybe he’s t
"Baby,"I stared at him as he seriously brushed my head lightly with his palm.Sometimes, we prefer to stay in the dream so that we can escape the reality of life. But what is it for people who don’t know the difference between the two?I sighed hard as I can still remember what happened that day. This can not be. That cannot be repeated. I know the day will come and it will all end as well. As I wish, I wish everything was just a dream. But I also hope to know what is really true or the reality. This is too much for me to take. He clouded my mind for those times that he didn’t know. And I’m not hoping that he feels the sameFor me, I just want all of these to end. As soon as possible. Before things would get more complicated."You look tired, do you want to rest now?" he asked me.The two of us sat on the couch and he was behind me. His arms are slightly wrapped around me. In short he’s embracing me. While I was not on my own watching the events outside.The shady sky, now even darke
He what?I blinked my eyes fast as I can’t contemplate that article that I’m reading. This is him right? I am not mistaken, am I?I scanned the article and see through it if it’s recent and damn, this is his interview just about the mid of the year! Heck.I scratched my forehead because of the incomprehensible incident. He is the owner of this surrogate company I’m at? I thought… I thought he was just some sort of client or what?"What the hell,"I don’t understand if he was just lying in his interview. But why the hell in this world would he hire me as a surrogate if he doesn’t have plans of having kids? And why didn’t he tell me all this time that he’s the owner of this company?I gulped and got up to go to the balcony. My legs are weakening because of the information being known. Maybe I'm just mistaken? Maybe he just changed his mind so now he wanted to have a child.But why? What is the reason? I almost tweak myself in the chaos of the mind. I don’t know a damn thing about busine
I stared at him. I can’t mentally process what to do next. Should I avoid him? Pretend that I didn't see him? Or meet him and deal with everything that happened today?The cold wind blew my hair but the two of us still looked at each other. On the road I saw the wet concrete that says the rain just poured. I tried to calm my heart while pretending that everything was normal. I smiled a little but it didn’t reach my eyes. I step forward trying to act as if everything is just normal."Are you just going home now?"I almost bit my tongue. Of all the questions in the book why is that even more I thought to ask? I also don't know how to start.He didn’t answer me. He was still leaning against his car as his eyes looked back and forth at me and the flowers in my hand. I looked at the flowers as well. I cleared my throat and spoke."Are you waiting for someone?" I asked again.I also didn't expect him to be waiting for me. I didn’t even receive a text or call saying he would take me to the c
Hugh’s POVI was busy doing my routine here in the gym one morning, these were the days when I have the time to have time for my self. I've only been here for a few weeks working on the pad and not at Rockwell’s.I was on my second set when I heard foot steps and sigh. I saw Angel waking her way inside the gym wearing my shirt that’s almost on her mid leg. She’s barefoot and her hair is still a bit messy, obviously just waking up.Her first trimester was coming to an end and I was slowly seeing a change in her. If then he didn't like me at all, he was very jealous and he always fought me is the opposite of all that now.She’s becoming more clingy than usual, also becoming tender and almost unable to separate herself from me. That explains why she’s wearing my shirt almost every day, it’s fine with me though. I love seeing her wear my clothes. She looks cute and I’m turned on. I stopped whatever I’m doing.Panting and sweating so hard, I came to her and smiled sexily. I saw her eyes pi
Hugh’s POV "I'm worried about you," I whispered to her ears.I’m not comfortable seeing her cook in out kitchen. Her bump is not yet that big but I’m still worried that this might cause some bad effects to her.“What? Don’t worry about me. I can do this. ”Yes. That’s your favorite sentences. I should not worry about you and you can do all things.The doctor said he needed rest. If only he could be in the hospital because he is often dehydrated, I would have done it. I want her to rest badly but what can I do when he wants it this way?"Don't worry." she smiled and made our nose touch with each other. That. Only then is she good, being tender and loving to me until I give up and give in to what he wants. I scolded him and he laughed was my reaction."Molly told me that it's okay and it's normal.""I don't care what Molly told you."”I believe her because she experienced this already. So we must listen to her. And besides, I’m the mother. I would know what’s the matter with my body. ”
I never knew I could be this strong. And now, I realized that after all, some things are not learned just by experiencing it. It can also be learned by yourself.You can dictate your own preference, you can be your own teacher. You can be your own standard, and you can be your own role model. I can be a mother without having to experience the love of a mother. Hugh is enough. I am enough.One morning when I woke up I felt a cold metal that Hugh was wearing on me. My sleepy eyes went wide seeing the fancy and sparkling stone in there. My tears rolled down my cheeks. My heart pounded as I wondered what that sin sing meant.“H-Hugh,” I stuttered when I look at him asking what’s that for."Good morning my soon to be wife and mother of my children." he smiled and kissed my lips. I could not believe what he said that time was one of the cherished moments in my life.It is not on my imaginations, I look forward for the fancy and extravagant proposal, but what he did was beyond my imagination
"P-Pregnant?" his mom asked.“Yes. Do you have any problem with the mother? ” Hugh asked innocently and drunk the beverage in front of him.I cleared my throat.“Angel? Is that true? ” she turned her attention to me. My mouth parted, I want to say something but I couldn’t find the right words.“That is not right! You two- ”"We're not." said Hugh. I held Hugh’s hand trying to stop him."I can manage."My mom is just looking at me while Hugh’s mom is really confused“What is this? I thought this is all clear? Now you’re pregnant? What- ”"Helena," my mom uttered her name.All eyes went to her. She’s looking nervous that’s all I can see beyond the strong facade she’s showing. It’s like I’m seeing my soul. It’s like I’m seeing a part of me, just like looking into a mirror."What?" said Hugh’s mom."They're not cousins." she uttered.“What !?” Hugh’s mom burst.“We’ve talked about this and you explained it to me, why-”"Hugh and I had talked already." She turned to Hugh.“And, we’ve made
The next morning was the same for that both of us. I cried again because of so much vomiting and this time it is more worst than any other day. I think I just doze off almost the whole morning.I’m not craving for any food, I just want to rest. And my stomach is like a roller coaster ride.Some days I’m not like this. Vomiting happens just in the morning but this time I’m feeling dehydrated because of too much vomiting."Baby, we need to go to the hospital now." Hugh kept no convincing me since the second vomiting.Now that he’s on his nth time and I almost can’t lift a finger I have done nothing but consent. I didn’t have the energy to travel, I think I passed out.I just woke up with dextrose. Hugh is beside me. He’s worried but I saw his sigh of relief when he saw me opened my eyes. I smiled."It's alright," He seemed to cannot find his words. I assured him with holding his hands."It's the baby, I'm alright." He sighed and palmed my stomach. He made my stomach as his pillow and ki
I was sitting on the bed while Hugh’s arm is wrapped on the lower part of my body. He’s sleeping because he said he’s really deprived of sleep for the past few days.I feel sorry for him so I just let him. She fell asleep when I played with his hair. It’s almost lunch, and now the life inside me is looking for something to eat.My mouth is salivating thinking about some strawberry that’s being deep on a chocolate fountain. I want to wake him up but I don’t want too at the same time. I played with his hair and twitched my lips. I heard my stomach grumbling again."What do you want now?"I bit my lip when I heard his hoarse voice. Shocks! He’s awake? He lifted his face and with a half opened eyes he spoke.“What does my baby want? I know you’re hungry. I’m sorry for dozing off. ” I shook my head while still pouting."You need to sleep more." He stood so he can sit.“No, I’m fine now. I was just enjoying your caress on me. ” I chuckled."I think I need lunch?" I gulped thinking bout food
“Yes Doc,” he’s speaking on the phone.I’m seated on the bed, just got done by the morning session of morning sickness."I think she is,"He’s holding my hand with his one hand caressing it. I can’t help but hide this joy now that my morning is different."I suggest she go to the hospital,"I chuckled lightly, he grabbed my attention. He furrowed his brows to me. He is really the one who wants to suggest. He was even smarter than the Doctor. He’s just over acting."I'll take her to you as soon as she can manage, alright."He ended the call and frowned at me."What's funny?" I purse my lips. So that he can't see the smile I'm hiding.“You need to eat your breakfast now. You need strength. ” he uttered and held both of my hands now.I feel like I’m in cloud nine. Pregnancy never felt this good inside my head. I thought it’s all just sufferings, I forgot that the father of my child is here. Oh, not yet sure."What do you want to eat?" he asked."Anything, except milk." I said."You hate
He stood up violently hearing my words.He’s freaking mad. He’s mad! I struggled to look at him. He stepped forward which made me stood up into my seat."Is your love for me so shallow, Angel?"My brows furrowed. How dare him judge my love for him?"Is your love so shallow that you can think of aborting our child?" his voice growled on the whole room which made my tail retreat.“Are you that inhumane !?” he’s real mad.“Yes! What do you want me to do? Keep this life inside of me and what? He of she’ll live questioning how fvcked up this world is? ”He palmed his face and walked back and forth. It seemed to be bitten but still restrained itself.“We. Are. Not. Cousins. Do you understand that? ” he said emphatically.My mouth parted."That's what you believe." I uttered with shaking voice.“I said we’re not,” he’s tired now.His tone is almost giving up.“I told you already,” I whined too.He stepped more and tried to touch my hands. But I stepped back. He looked at me with his sad eyes
Angel’s POVThis is my definition of horror if it really does exist. My face almost bled from the panic when I heard what he said. "H-how did-""Eat your ice cream," he simply said.He put his hand in his pocket, looking so lazy that everything seemed just normal. I was stoned rock. I couldn’t move. Why I don’t know what’s happening? "I said get out!""What?" he asked innocently.“Why are you here? This is my room! ”"We can just go back at out home, why are you even staying in here?" he scanned the room with the disgusting look in his face.”What? Are you kidding me? I’m not going back to you! ”"Why?" his eyes are cold.I stopped, almost backing away in horror at the sight of his eyes."C-cause, I'm not going back."I’m not making any sense."I said why?" he raised an brow.I palmed my face. I don’t know why I can’t say it with my mouth now."How did you know I'm here?"I asked slight mad. He side eyed me. He even removed his shoe and lay into my bed. Damn this man!"I'm asking yo
