"Good afternoon ma'am."I couldn’t look at a middle aged woman standing in front of Hugh and me. I bowed a little more when I greeted him.After the intercom, I almost shit bricks hearing what Ms. Ceena just said. His mother, Hugh’s mother is in front of me.She’s wearing a luxury looking like outfit. But out of all the pieces she’s wearing, the coat that has a fur on it was the most attention grabbing. Her hair is well fixed, the red lipstick that’s on her lips is flashing and fitted her pale face. Like Hugh, she has this hard complexion.They both look superior and someone who should be respected.“Mother,” said Hugh.I turned around to leave them both there. His mother didn't greet me back because it wasn't her job to greet me. But I could feel him staring at me. It’s like she’s wondering of my presence in there.I saw in my peripheral view that Hugh tried to stop me but he’s too late. I have completely turned my back on them."You didn't tell me you're coming."I heard Hugh before
Hugh: Why are you not answering my calls?Hugh: Ceena told me that you went home early. Are you sick?Hugh: Please call me as soon as you see this message.Hugh: I’m worried.I bit my lower lip as I read his messages. I'm so grateful because it looks like that's all he really knows. I think Ms. Ceena is civil enough to not stick her nose into some matters. She knew what to say and what not to say.It was as if my tears had dried from the amount of tears I had cried before. All I can do now is watch Hugh's name appear on my cellphone over and over again.His mother called me slut. His mother made me feel so humiliated without even having to humiliate me in front of many people. Her words are enough to cut me into pieces. Her words are enough for me to bleed. I chuckled lightly, without any hint of humor. Now I know where Hugh inherited his cold heart.She left me in that office after uttering those words. Didn't even give some chance to speak up and explain my side. I didn't even ex
My lips are quivering while watching Hugh and Celeste walk out in his office. They are both pre- occupied of each other’s presence.Celeste is holding this folder that seems to be their topic. I just made myself busy with the paper’s that in front of me even though it’s not necessary. Just to be able to assume I don’t care about the two of them.Hugh was busy for the next two days. He hardly stayed in his office because he was so busy. He’s always out because of some meetings and all that.Though, it may be easier for me if he did not message me all throughout his business. There are times when he never fails to inform me that he won't be able to go to his office, that we won't be able to see each other. It made my heart ache more.Hugh: Angel, are you home?That was just one of his texts.We didn’t meet because he was somewhere else, still about his big investor.I typed slowly as I put down the pint of ice cream.I have no appetite at all, and my life depends in this pint of ice cr
That day passed by without any interaction with Hugh.I stared at the door of his office for a few minutes because he and Celeste had been there for several hours. It’s like, they’re busy with something I didn’t know and I’m not responsible to know. I was just breathing calmly while my mind was in turmoil.Finally, the big day. This is such a big day for him.His very first text is the one that woke me up from my sleep.Hugh: Wish me luck today.‘I know you’ll do good, Hugh.’ No matter how he hides it I know he’s still nervous about this. I did not reply to him. I want to know what time he got home yesterday? Will they be with Celeste? Did he also deliver it to his condo and cook it? I want to faint at the thought. I’m crazy.I smiled at all the people that’s passing by the counter. The office became busy. There are many unfamiliar people.There were times when Hugh didn't even look at me because he was so busy. I’m fine with it though, I prefer seeing him so busy with his field. It
I don’t know what time they ended. I also don’t know if the proposal was a success or what. I won't be surprised if it fails. The investor is probably disappointed with the failure I did. Moreover, Hugh.I eagerly went home to Fifth Avenue to pack my things as soon as possible. I will never forget his eyes a while ago. It was as if my heart was pounding every time I remembered his eyes I thought were full of disappointment.I'm such a failure.He looked unto me as his luck only to find out that I will be the reason to bring him down. That's why I just want to leave. But I can't act on everything that's going on.At the same time as I was handling my suitcase was the loud thunder. I crouched immediately and cried out of fear. Honestly, a mixture of fear, pain and grief.I was still wearing my uniform and my hair was messy from the loose ponytail. I waited for the heavens to calm down a bit then I continued to drag my only suitcase that I brought in here.I slumped to the floor just ne
(READ AT YOUR OWN RISK)"Angel!"His weary voice was all I could hear. My eyes widened as I lifted my head. I can only see the side off his face that is being lighted by the room outside the closet.My sobbed grew louder as he touched my face so softly. His expression is hard and with gritted teeth, he cursed a lot of words that some of it was not understandable.He immediately hugged me and I hugged him back. He slapped me on his chest and kissed the top of my head. I sobbed more as I heard his heartbeat. His silent heartbeat is enough for me against the loud thunder."Hush now, I'm here." he uttered which made my heart ache more.I gripped his shirt because of mixed emotions. A hint of joy embedded in me as I can’t believe that he’s here. He’s here, he came for me."Come," he simply uttered.And in a snap, he carried me in bridal style. I hugged his neck so I wouldn’t fall, tears haven’t stopped still and I couldn’t open my eyes because I’m afraid to see his face again.He laid me d
(READ AT OUR OWN RISK)He kissed my lips like an animal sniffing its captive.His kiss was both dominating and craving. The lungs that had been forced to be killed ignited. Instead of restraining myself, like a fire, all my worries and thoughts turned into ashes.It made my mind go blank.I felt aroused, It’s like I’m longing for him more. Forgetting what purpose we were doing, I reciprocated her kisses. His stubble is hurting my thin fair skin.It’s like he’s kissing as if there’s no tomorrow. In the anticipation of wanting for more, my hands roamed into the parts of his body. I grabbed his hair and moaned when he bit my lower lip.He then stopped and looked at me. His lips are now red and his eyes are drunk from our kisses. Without any words, while looking at me, his lips traveled down to my jaw down to my neck.“Hugh,” I moaned.He nibbled my neck but instead of feeling the pain I felt the fire grew more. It’s not a bonfire anymore, it’s a huge ball of fire gushing into my system as
Now I understand it. Now I understand my most hated phenomena. I hate thunder, but this is the moment that I’ve realized that that’s what I’m feeling inside. Sometimes nature needs breathing. It needs to let out the boiling emotion inside. Because It needs to scream sometimes.I look at his face. His thick brows, his pointed nose, his growing stubble - I touched it with my palm. I caressed his face lightly, tracing the ends of his brows down to his nose and to his lips. His lips parted slightly as I did that.His eyes were closed and we were both naked wrapped around a blanket. His arm is my pillow and his other arm is wrapped around my unclothe waist.I smiled lightly and sadly. A tear escaped my eye and I immediately wiped it.‘I have only ever loved you, Hugh.’ I uttered in my mind, hoping for him to hear it.I brushed my fingers on his hair, it felt so soft. And now that I realize it, I like watching him asleep. He looks so peaceful, he looks so majestic, like some character in a
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
