"Grandma!"I hugged her right away as soon as I saw her. The wrinkles of her skin became more visible compared to the last time we saw each other.She seem to not recognize me at first but when she held my face her croaked smile showed up and then she hugged me again.I felt the comfort, the gentleness of her touch. It almost cleansed my soul. I never knew I needed that. I knelt in front of him in tears. She was sitting in her wheelchair, she was outside the mansion and the maid was with her. I told the maid to just go and said I'll take care of it."I missed you, grandma." a tear fell in my eyes as I look at her face.It’s been so long since I last saw her. I don’t have a lot of memories with grandma but every memory I have with her is still so clear in my mind. When the Brooks are busy she used to always visit me in this house.She always brings her dog and let me walk it. She knows how to bake, she knows how to knit. All of her skill, she all thought me. We sometimes would sit outs
Okay. I admit. I’m done with the level of blindness. I’m not naive to realize it all, but I’m not assuming to assume it all.What if he really does have feelings for me? Her mom doesn't like me. Isn't that one of the reasons why I avoided him and now I'm married to someone I don't like?Now I’m more proven. That life is like a vast sea. Different waves with different directions, one move will cause another wave. They said you should not worry about tomorrow and live your life to fullest, but now I’m a living proof that that’s not true.Because if you don’t think about tomorrow, you won’t strive for the present.I walked silently on his hallway. I was looking for him because I was going to ask him if he would come with me to dinner. I found the door of his office open.I peek through the door of his office, and I saw his back facing the door.His hands are on the table and I think he’s doing something on his laptop.I entered silently, he didn't even notice me because of his excessive
I knelt on the table to level him. I don't know what went through my mind and now this is our situation.I came here to ask him what’s for dinner and here I am, eating his lips.I moaned when he bit my lips. I became more aggressive, my hands couldn't find what it wants to touch. As long as I pass it on any part of his body.His fingers reached the buttons of my cardigan, while his kisses are working so hard to crawl from my lips down to my neck. I craned my neck to give him more access but when his fingers touched a flesh of my boobs, it was like a dream that I suddenly woke up.I stopped kissing him. I leaned my forehead against his forehead while panting.He stopped too, I gulped can’t look straight in his eyes.Without a word I went down to the table and was about to left, but before I could take a step, he pulled me.I could see the burning in his eyes."Let go of me."I simply said and tried to get away but he still grabbed me tightly without any effort.“Tell me, did you ever t
For a moment I felt like floating in the air hearing and confirming the question in my head.But that moment ended and I realized that it’s not all the same now. I’m married and the reality that his mom doesn’t want me for him will never change.And so instead of saying anything, that night I ran into his room and locked myself in there. I barely slept. All I wanted to do was cry, and when I woke up the next day, another reality came to me."What?"I rolled over on the bed. I held my head because it’s pounding. It was almost morning when I fell asleep and I also woke up to the loud sound of my phone.“Alright. I’ll go now. ”I hurriedly got dressed and prepared to leave. I was in tears at what I found out. I grab my purse and hurry out the door.When I came out the door I was immediately stopped by Hugh's presence there.He also seemed surprised when I came out. It’s like he’s contemplating to come in his room or what. He scanned me and fear immediately embedded in his eyes.“You’re l
”I’m sorry about earlier. She must have been in her right state. ”I said to Hugh while holding granny's hand. He is asleep again now. He did not speak and just look at me. I averted my eyes from her, still remembering the conversations she and my grandmother had had.“You can go now. You can’t just stay in here. I can manage. I know you have a lot to do in Rockwell’s.” I said without looking at him. I heard him sigh. He approached my seat and the space between the two of us was reduced a little."Call me when you need me." I nodded.He held my nape and my eyes shut automatically. He dampened a pooch on my forehead and all worries seemed to fade away.”I’m sorry about last night. I shouldn’t have done that, you’re still married- ”“By papers,” I cut his words.He nodded and just folded his arms."Still, I shouldn't have done that." I sighed.His principles are the same as mine. But those principles seem to be forgotten every time we challenge ourselves.“Know that I won’t force you t
"Mom, I'm glad you're back."I kissed mom.”I know, thank you honey. It’s just that we had some problems with the client and we weren’t able to go home in time. ”I nodded even though I’m still thinking about how it is so easy for them to let grandma be alone.”How about dad? Is he well? ”"He's a bit tired so he went straight to the mansion."Mom and I were still talking while grandma was asleep. It’s been exactly a week since grandma was confined at the hospital. She’s getting worse each day. There are more chances that he doesn't know me.“Where’s Echo?” she asked.My lips went flatline. I don’t know how I’m going to answer that question of his."He's probably busy with the company.""He's still out of town?""I'm not really sure mom." I said casually so that she wouldn’t notice how indifferent I am.On the other hand, I would say that the mother of his future grandchild is with him.“Alright. Thank you for being on grandma’s side while we are not around. ” She hugged me.I just ha
Hugh’s POV"Baby, aren't you feeling warm?"I asked her as I feel her sweats on her nape She shook her head. I chuckled lightly. Compare to the days when she’s with me, she’s specially clingy tonight. .Even though I just want to hug her until morning, I don't want her to have a hard time."Come on, we need to eat."I’m talking about the food I prepared for us tonight. She just shook her head still hugging me.My clothes were wet from her tears, but I didn't care. I just want him to be comfortable because we’ve been standing there before.That means he still hugged me earlier. I could do nothing but walk while he hugged me. I guided her into the table so that we can eat our meal now.Specially that she had problem with eating. But gladly, for the past week that she’s been with me she’s eating fine.I made her sit down on the chair and my eyes looked at her full of compassion. Her eyes are puffy and her hair is sticking into her face because of sweat and tears. I knelt my other knee so
"Baby,"I thought I was just dreaming. "Baby,"Hugh's tiny voices woke me up. I slowly opened my eyes and his eyes immediately opened on me. I was still hugging him.I immediately averted my face from him because I was afraid I had some dirt on my face. I don't remember anything else last night but him hugging me and my tight hug with him. I slept very soundly next to him."Morning," he said and kissed my forehead."Hmm."I just moaned because I didn’t know if my breath still smelled fresh.“I don’t want to wake you up this early but your phone keeps ringing. I think it’s urgent. ”I frowned and looked at the cellphone which was now silent and no one was calling. I turned to the other side of the bed and without a word stood up and left him there to go to the bathroom.The ritual I performed inside the bathroom also took a long time. I did all the work. Brushed my teeth and washed my face, making sure that no particles will be seen. It's embarrassing for the goddess outside.Even in
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
