I walked thorough the dark road. I looked at myself, I probably look like a mess, with this stained blouse of mine wearing still.It was getting a little foggy so I just ignored it. I just walked through the city to the Brokes mansion. It's just nearby and I'll only waste money if I take a cab."Are they in here?" I asked to myself.Their mansion looked as quiet. I just went straight in and greeted the guard outside for a moment. It’s been so long. I somehow felt nostalgic again.When the Brook’s adopted me and lived here for a few years. I spent years of my youth in here. They treated me well, for some time I felt like I belong. I felt like I have a family. But since they are busy and they are business oriented, I somehow felt lonely too at the same time.Growing up I never desired a wealthy life. I only craved for the feeling of home. But who I am to complain? They’ve treated me well and they gave me my needs, and so that’s enough. Their mansion is huge. It's wide because I wouldn't
"Angel,"A deep voice was the one I heard somewhere. It seems to be coming from the depths of the earth because of its sound. I thought I was dreaming. My eyes are closed and when I opened my eyes the dark surroundings welcomed me.I sighed hard as I felt how heavy my head is. I felt a rough calloused fingers brushing my cheek lightly, I turned my head lightly and saw Hugh’s face. My vision is blurry and I can’t even barely open my eyes.I gulped and felt so high. My lids are heavy as well as my lid. And my breathing is heavy. My body felt so heavy and cold."I'll bring you to the hospital."I shook my head. Isn’t it all just a dream? Why is he still here? Why can I still hear his voice?"This is just a flu." I said with a hoarse voice.I forced my eyes open, I looked around and saw I was in the car. He’s on the side of my seat, the car’s door is opened beside me where he was standing."Where am I?" I uttered."Your building," he uttered.My forehead furrowed. I forced myself to sit u
"You don't have to do this."I stared at him as he poured me porridge. He looked at me annoyed. I opened my mouth and ate a spoonful of porridge."I can do it myself." I reasoned out."And I want to do it for you."I pouted trying to hide the smiled on my face."I want to loose my limbs, then."I chuckled to make everything light. He remained serious. He just put the spoon in front of my mouth again, waiting for me to open.I shook my head. "I'm full now.""One last." he spoke.I sighed and opened my mouth. Almost disgusted I almost spit it out, he immediately handed me the water. He stood up and now picked up the thermometer. He pressed it to my forehead and furrowed even more."Forty one." he uttered.I laughed seeing his reaction, “Guess I’m so hot.” He lowered the thermometer and sat down in front of me again. His jaw clicked."Nothing's funny, Angel."I smiled sweetly reached for his jaw. I felt the pressure loosened. I could feel his weakness in the touch I had made on him."Wh
He wanted out.I stare at his eyes intently. The smile disappeared from my lips. He was just staring at me. He tuck the strands of my hair behind my ears. I can't believe that's what he's going to answer me.Shouldn't I be glad that's what he wants? That he wanted out? That he finally wants to finish this? But I don’t exactly know what he means? He want to impregnate me soonest? Or? We’ll end this in another way? The side of his lips rose gently, he brushed his thumb into my cheek and that made my heart thump. Mixed with fear and soothing, I shut my eyes because I felt high with his touches. My eyes widened. Awakening of my eyes is also the bulge of his eyes."You need rest now." he uttered.I gulped. It was as if I was left in the air again. I pursed my lips because I still don’t want this to end. Like, this is the only chance that I have this kind of conversation with him. It’s all light and pure oblivion."Why?"He asked me when he saw that my expression had changed because of what
Molly and I were silent as we sat here on the sofa.She was on the other end of the sofa while I was sitting on the single seater sofa. We can almost hear crickets while exchanging meaningful looks.Only Hugh's footsteps I could hear throughout the unit and his answers to his phone. Molly was the person earlier when I opened the unit door. She was ranting and all when she came in.”What the hell ?? I’ve been here for like forever! Why are you not opening your door? ” she entered the unit directly. She was carrying a paper bag that I think he was using. I fell silent and can't answer her.”I! Came here! Because you knew what I’m saying, Angel.” She flicked her fingers. I gasped.”I came here yesterday and you are not here! It means you did go to work even though I told you to rest early!”"Molly-"“Nah! Nah! ” she waived her hands. She removed her coat leaving only her uniform in Neon Bar. How can I tell him that the owner of the unit is here? "Are you well now?" she asked and threw h
"That is impossible, Molly."I sipped the glass again so that she wouldn't see that I was affected by what he was saying. She laughed like a mad woman. I didn’t speak until he stopped laughing. Until she sighed and sat down on the couch and drank her juice.“This is insane, Angel. You know that what you’re saying is more impossible right? ”I did not answer.“You’re in a damn surrogacy. If that was the real deal here, why does he haven’t fucked you yet? Huh? ”I hissed, "Stop with those words, Molly.""Well, fuck!" she shouted.I look at her with disappointment. She really knows how to beat my patience.”Molly, he has his own ways of life. He has his own reason why he hasn’t… ”I can’t continue what I’m about to say."Fuck you?" she continued my words.I just didn't look at her. I don’t know. For some reasons I don’t want to say those words. It sounds like It’s inappropriate for me to say it. Like it’s not like what it should be.“Are you blind huh? You’re good at class, what’s happeni
"Have you eaten?""Hmm." I hummed answering his calls."How about your meds?""Y-yes."I could hear hi, breathing softly on the other line.I can't answer. I don't know how to continue the conversation. He did fulfill what he said. He keeps on track on my whereabouts. He’s really serious about monitoring my meals and all that."How about your friend?"My heart jumped because he prolonged the conversation. I totally thought it was just like before that he would kill her right away. But I understand that. He is busy with his office work so I should understand.Another thing, is that he does too much for me.”She already left. She’s… going to work. ”"Hmm." handsome voice.”She said thank you for the meal that you sent us. She liked it. ”Molly left this afternoon.She didn’t go to her morning duty. Because she said she wants us to talk about things. Well, more like… about Hugh, of course.Hugh sent us some lunch this afternoon. Like a complete meal. I was shock when a personnel knocked i
Hell is probably in despair because Angel is rejoicing. I feel like I’m in heaven.Hugh really did came home. Heck. Came home? I’m not even his home.Sitting on the counter top, I’m quietly watching his back as he cooks out dinner for tonight.He’s still on his infamous button down dress shirt that is folded until his elbow. The veins on his arms are visible and it adds more into his character. It was as if a warm hand held my heart as I watched him busy with his own world. I frowned as I stared at him, tracing his wide shoulders, muscular back down to his… Damn. No! Angel no!I shook my head lightly. I must stop checking him out. This is not good."How was your day?" I asked.Just because I feel like we were too silent. I saw him stopped moving. I folded my arms because he didn't answer me. He smiled in amusement. I can see a hint of amusement in his face. I smiled lightly waiting for him to answer."My day is fine as hell." he uttered.I pouted, "Hell is not fine." I whispered.His
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
