"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
I can't believe Hugh could say that to him. Even I whom they betrayed I could not accept that. I just felt sorry for his woman when she said nothing and just cried to leave.I looked sharply at Hugh. He looked like he regret what he said.”Why are you just standing there? Go on and chase her! ” I said.He was about to say something but mom and dad came out on the door. So he did nothing but leave.I stayed at the wake. I was just quiet in the farthest Pews of the place where grandma was shot. Many mourned for her. It's the second day since she died.I'm not going home, I'm just here watching over her. It’s her final day today, and soon we’ll not be able to see her again. I sighed.I wasn’t able to sleep the whole time. A few sleepless nights was a small sacrifice compared to a lifetime when I would never see him again. So I took advantage of the last few times she was here.Echo sat beside me. I’m just silent as I just focused my attention on the front and watched the people approach
His mouth parted. It’s like he’s stunned when I said those words."I love you even more, you should go now."I nodded and was about to bid my good bye when we heard a voice."Ugly hypocrite."Our head both turned to the voice direction. My eyed widened a fraction when I saw Val standing a few meters away from the car.She’s looking like a mess, her eyes are puffy and she’s looking at us angrily.Hugh's hug loosened with me because of the woman."Who's the cheater now huh?" she smirked.She slowly approached Hugh and me. I faced her with full courage.”You’re calling us a sinner when in fact you’re trying so hard to pretend that you’re pure? There is no trace of any mistake? Feeling angelic, huh? ”She took even more steps. Reason for me to back down a bit. I felt Hugh’s hand on my waist.”What are you doing in here? You really want to cause scandal in grandma’s wake? ”She laughed, “Oh wow! I can’t come in here while your man can come here? ”She glanced at Hugh. I looked at Hugh and
I woke up with an almost blinding light. The first thing that I saw was the white ceiling. I heard some beeping but not sure what is is. As soon as I thought of what’s happening, my head started to throb because of pain.“Uhh,” I moaned as I tried to move."Baby,"I turned my head and it’s Hugh. He’s holding my hand ans his eyes were bloodshot. There was a streak of concern on his face."What happened?"His expression hardened. He caressed my head, slightly patting it."How are you feeling?" he asked.He looked so worried. I smiled lightly and brought my needled hand into his rough jaw. His eyes softened as soon as I do that."I'm alright." He shut his eyes tight like he’s having a hard time."I'm sorry."Now that I just realized a doctor came in right away together with a nurse. They checked my vitals and they turned to Hugh.”She needs to take care of her health more. She’s lacking of iron and red blood cells. It’s prone for her to have blood infection so it’ll be better for her to
I saw the door opened. Hugh's dark eyes hit the man who entered. Echo’s eyes and mine met. I held his hand tight and his eyes returned to me again."Do you really want me to go?" he asked.I hissed and smiles afterwards."We won't last long."Even though I knew he was against it, he still obeyed my wishes. He sighed and kissed my forehead before going out. I couldn’t help but to smile watching him do nothing but to go out. He looked sharply at Echo but Echo was just staring at me.I immediately lost my smile as Echo was the only one and I was the only one left inside."I never saw you smile like that in years of being married." he smiled sadly.I blinked and cleared my throat. He went to the chair next to me and sat there. I’m sitting down on the bed.“How’s Val?”I asked without looking at him in the eyes. He did not answer.“That woman loves you that she really did abort your child. Did you know that? ” I turned to him.He bent down and nodded softly.“I hope that’ll be a lesson for
I cried so hard when grandma we said our final goodbye with grandma. I wasn’t feeling well still that day. The doctor suggested for me to have some reset and to regain some strength."When will you be now, honey?" mom asked me after the ceremony of grandma’s"She'll be going with me ma'am, and I'm hoping you'll approve to that." Hugh said.Mom looked at the two of us. She seems a bit hesitant.He attended grandma’s ceremony, but we are obviously not making it obvious for everybody since everyone knows that Echo and I are married. We don’t want to cause any scandal in grandma’s funeral.Of course people wondered why a Hugh Rockwell was there but that was easy to get away with. Business world. Now he is here and we are the only ones he said goodbye to me.She sighed and nodded.”Alright, Mr. Rockwell. I’m still a bit vague about this, alright? Everybody still knows that Angel and my son are married. ”"I understand ma'am." he answered casually.”But since, Angel will be at rest in your
I knocked on the door of Hugh’s office, one night from here I actually settled on his pad.I peeked my head out the door and immediately saw his face focused on his laptop. He’s looking serious for some time but when he looked at me his expression brightened.I smiled holding a tray that has a cup of coffee and a glass of milk. I raised the tray so he would know what I meant. He just smiled and was about to close his mac when I stopped him right away. I approached his desk and set down the tray.”I’ll just give you this. I’ll go back to my room right away. ”I said and gave him the cup of coffee. He glanced at it and stared at me again. He’s not smiling but his eyes are soft almost melting me.“Come here,” he said.I turned the table to get closer to him. He immediately pulled me up and I sat on his right thigh. I stiffened a bit when his arms wrapped to me."Thank you," he kissed my cheeks.I sniffed to hide the smile on my lips.“You can’t sleep?” he asked softly.I pouted and get m
That kind of routine goes on. Because of the doctor's advice, I just followed him. In the morning he’ll go out for work while at night we’ll work on his office. I am happy even with the little time we have. It was all more than what I had hoped for.I heard the sound of the entrance. I am in the kitchen and cooking dinner. It was early so I wondered why he came home right away. I looked at him as I mixed what I was cooking."Hi, you're early?"He’s leaning on the wall while his cress are slightly crossed. His hands are on his pocket and even though he’s looking tired he’s still looking do fresh and hot."Why?" I laughed because he was just standing there, looking at me.I became conscious of his stares that’s why I just looked at the food that I’m cooking and pretend to be busy.I thought he was going to reject me but he actually came up to me and hugged me from behind.“Hey,”I called him when he buried his face on my neck. He sighed deep. He must have been so tired."Everything's ok
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
