CHAPTER 18
Last Updated:
2021-04-22 07:58:58When I arrived at the hospital, I immediately rushed towards my friend’s room. I saw her at the far corner of the room, staring blankly into space while auntie was there, caressing her hair gently.
Cassandra’s mom looked at me when she noticed my presence. A bitter smile formed into her lips before tapping on her daughter’s shoulder. “My child, Ayesha’s here.” Her face slowly turned to look at me as I made my way to sit by her side. Auntie in turn, stood up from her seat and walked towards the door. “I’ll just buy some food for us to eat,” she said and I nodded. I gazed back to look at my friend again and held her hand. What happened? I hope it’s not what I think it is. My eyes automatically landed on her stomach and so I closed my eyes for a second, biting my lower lip. Please… When I heard a sob escaped her lips, I opened my eyes again. She weakly smiled at me while tears were starting to build on her brown orbs.&nbRelated chapters

I was sipping my coffee when Daevon entered my office. He seems to be serious but at the same time afraid of looking at me. I continued to look at him with an expressionless face as I greeted his eyes. I can see how he sighed to himself before making his way to sit in front of my table.I leaned my back on my chair and crossed my legs while looking at him.“I’m sorry.” He was the first to talk as usual and gave me the same look he always does whenever we fight. He claimed my hand at the top of the table and gently squeezed it. “I didn’t mean to do that but I do not have any choice,” he added to which I raised one of my eyebrows.Again, he deeply sighed. Is this guy full of air inside? He walked towards me and grabbed my hand again before pulling me upward to stand.I stiffen in place when he lowered his gaze and leaned his head on my shoulder before wrapping his hands around my torso.“She’s mentally disabled,” he simply explained.I’m surprised b

It’s been three weeks since Cassandra left and I must say I miss her. I sighed to myself while looking at the papers in front of me. It isn’t really hard to manage the things in her company since her secretary was helping me plus there’s Auntie always there to assist me and of course, husband who didn’t leave me alone. It’s a good thing that my parents also allowed me to work here and labeled it as an experience for this sort of field. Well, in fact, they’re quite enthusiastic when they found out I’m working.I might say that I’ve been happy for the past few weeks that came by despite having some mixed emotions with my friend leaving. She removed all of her connection in the Philippines except for her mom. I even feel like sulking every time I think of it but instead, I tried to understand her. She probably needs to fix herself.I was only back to reality when I heard the door clicking open. I saw my secretary coming in with her usual attire.She lowered h

It’s been three days since we last saw each other and it was at that time when we had adobo for dinner. An emergency occurred in France and Daevon had no choice but to book an immediate flight towards there; concerning one of their factories.I was busy encoding some works on my computer when my phone beeped. I checked to see who it was on the screen and the name that engulfed my view was none other than a man’s name.IvannSorry, it’s been a long time since I texted. I’ve been busy at my dad’s company but like I said, can we talk? Don’t worry, I mean no harm. I just want to give you something and maybe perhaps we can call it closure.I sighed to myself after finishing his message. If you think of it like this, Ivann was the most hurt out of the three of us so knowing that I can help, I’ll try to be as kind and understand as I can. I also want him to start a new now and move on. It’s probably the time for us to finally settle everything once and for all

I woke up when the countless banging sound and shouting voices echoed throughout the place.“Fuck you, Ivann! We talked clearly the last time and this is what you’re going to do?” a familiar voice shouted.Daevon?I slowly stood up from where I was lying and opened my eyes. In an instance from my vision blurring until it became clear, I widened my eyes in disbelief.What the hell is happening?I saw Daevon clenching his jaw, grasping hard on Ivann, raining him with a lot of his punches. I immediately stood up and was about to stop them when I noticed something wrong. My heart started racing, my lips turning blue. When I looked downward on my body, I noticed I wasn’t wearing anything.My body started trembling from fear, nervousness and confusion. I quickly covered myself with the comforter of the room while spacing out—staring at the two of them.“D-Daevon,” my voice called out. Tears started streaming down my eyes.I noticed how

It feels like at any minute, I would collapse on the floor the moment I got out of the restaurant. There was no CCTV plus… they said the waiter isn’t there anymore.The managed said he resigned yesterday and was also the one who assisted us when we lost consciousness. The staff thought we were heavily drunk at that time and so they let them be taken care but that same person.“No… No,” I shook my head while weakly walking towards my car. I grabbed my hair out of frustration, thinking deeply. When I came inside the car, I squeezed hard on the stirring wheel and let the tears flow down my cheeks.I closed my eyes, confused and dizzy from all the events that happened. I haven’t eaten breakfast yet but instead of focusing on my health, I continued to try and contact my husband.Just like before, he wouldn’t answer the call. It was shut off. I bit my lip as I started the engine of my car.We need to talk this out. I can’t just let us be ruined like

It's been two weeks and I may say I’m barely living.I removed all of my connection in the Philippines. I need space. I need to forget about everything and heal myself.“You need to eat, bitch,” Cassandra said when she came inside our room. There were only two rooms in the house and the other one was being used by Azaia.She was holding a tray of food with worriedness looming her eyes. Even just the glimpse of it, doesn’t seem to help in stimulating any hunger in me at all.We are a total of three in the house; it’s me, Cassandra and her nurse named Azaia. I was surprised to see her with a big stomach, the first time I arrived. Apparently, one of her twins survived and is growing healthily. When she found out about it, she immediately hired a personal nurse who will help her and I on the other hand couldn’t help but be happy for her, although sadness still loomed my whole being.I also finally told her about everything that happened to me. She was so

“Mommy!” my daughter shouted as she ran towards me.I laughed as I saw her approaching me, I just got home from work and the first thing I saw was her small body gaping towards me.I slowly crept down to hold her in my arms. As she arrived in front of me, she clung and kissed me on my cheeks several times; I giggled.“You missed me that much?” I asked, smiling at her.She in turn did the same and nodded her head. How innocent those eyes looked like. I lightly patted her head and slowly kissed her on the forehead.“I miss you too,” I whispered as I lifted her up in my arms.“Do you have a gift for me, mommy?” she innocent asked, her long eyelashes swaying as she blinks.“Of course, hone.” She clapped her hands out of joy while I on the other hand, removed my heels. I pinched her nose and then made my way together with her inside the apartment. “Where’s your Auntie Azaia and Andrian?” I asked. When I roamed my eyes aro

It’s been four years but it doesn’t feel like anything changed at all.I am now standing outside our house, carrying my baby in my arms. She’s currently asleep due to exhaustion from the long flight and on my other hand, I held my baggage.I took a deep breath and finally approached the door to ring the doorbell. When I did so, I bit my lower lip. Nervousness started creeping down my body again, it’s been years since I last saw them; I didn’t even say goodbye to them and now I’m back and I even brought a child with me. How will they react?Startled at the sound of the gate opening, I fixed myself in front of the door. One of our maids in our house looked to see who it was and found me at the doorstep, looking at her straight in the eye.Recognition flashed through her face before her jaw dropped open. She then blinked several times before mumbling my name out. “Ma’am Ayesha,” she said in awe. I gave her a narrow smile before she looked at the child I’m carrying. “P

RUINED EPILOGUE
I was sleeping peacefully when my phone rang.I groaned and scanned where I fucking put my phone and answered it without seeing who it was."Please do me a favor." My forehead knotted as I opened my eyes and slowly sit on my bed. That was the first thing he told me the moment I answered the phone call."What now Ivann?" I seriously asked.I heard him sigh before dropping the bomb."I'm sick," he mumbled that made me frozen in feet."Then fucking take a medicine," I hissed when I recovered my composure."I'm flying to America tomorrow," he informed me."Drop the favor," I simply said; looking tired from these shit I'm hearing."Guard my ex, Daevon, " he mumbled in low pitch voice.I creased my forehead, still my phone was close to my ear."You mean stalk her?" I sarcastically asked."I owe you big time for this. I just want to make sure that she won't do anything stupid," he stated."You mean kill her

We all went together at the same time when we were now rested.We're all happy to see her kicking well and had the kids go home early with Auntie while we stayed behind."So mind to tell me what's happening?" Cassandra asked, breaking the silence betwen us all."We're good," Daevon answered.My face quickly flushed red; feeling all the warmth going towards my face. That's not what she meant when asked!"Really? But I remember you saying it once before that you will make him cry," my friend said teasingly.My eyes widened.Fuck you, girl!I felt Azaia, secretly laughing at the sideline.I mouthed bitch to Cassandra before raising one of my eyerbrows at her.I turned towards Azaia, rolling my eyes. "You're laughing at me, traitor," I said and pursed my lips; sulking.She laughed once again before looking at the curious Cassandra.She started narrating what happened to her, the sameway Andre

After a day, I was immediately discharged. Daevon quickly got me a check up at the OB so we can get an update over my pregnancy.We both let out a sigh of relief when I found out that our baby was normal and I was healthy. It feels like something warm touched my heart when I saw the teary-eyed Daevon. He was staring at the small monitor, looking at an image of a baby.He looked at me and mouthed thank you with so much emotions in his eyes. I just smiled at him in return.We ate first at a restaurant before coming home. As the gate swung open, I saw my baby running towards me. She gave me a tight hug and kissed me."I miss you, Mommy," she mumbled and embrace me tighter.I hug her back with the same ferocity and kissed her forehead.After she was finished with me she turned to glance at her dad and reached out her little hands to be carried in his arms.They exchange the same imissyou's and have a littl

DAEVON'S POVIt’s been a few hours yet until now she’s not yet waking up. What happened earlier really drained her.I heard a knock on the door before my friend Xenoah came insicde. I only gave him a thin smile as he patted my shoulder.“I owe you a lot,” I said emotionally and turned to look at my wife again laying on the hospital bed.I felt his presence still there, gazing at Ayesha for a few seconds.“She really loves you,” he said.A bitter smile crept into my lips as I closed my eyes.“I don’t know if I should be happy or not by that,” I weakly uttered under my breath.I gently caressed her face.“Because of her love for me, she almost lost her life. Not only her but also…” I gulped and turned to look at her stomach. “…our soon to be second child,” I added.I felt Xenoah’s hand patting my shoulder again.“I didn’t expect what she did. I know she loves me but I didn’t think she’d pick me over her own life,” I nar

After our emotional breakdown finished, we both fix ourselves and talk everything that we missed for the past four years."How about your pregnancy? Raising her alone with your two friends… was it hard?" he asked calmly while holding onto my hand.My other hand had been helping me munch away some chips while my head was leaning on his chest. We were both sitting on the sofa, watching movies on the television.I stopped to put the chip in my mouth for a second. “I was diagnosed with post-partum,” I said, uttering weakly.I felt him stiffened and then massaged my hand when he regained his composure back.“You know, I only have my instincts at that time. I believe that Ivann and I didn't do it but still I couldn’t erase the fact that there was a chance t-that she's Ivann's child,” I added.I felt his hold tightened. I stared blankly on the television with a sad smile looming my face.“One week. It was a total of one week, I didn’t look

I woke up disoriented. I quickly got out from my bed when I noticed the unfamiliar sight of the whole room. I suddenly tried to recall what happened until I remembered him carrying me last night.Daevon brought me here?I tried to calm myself down. This is a condo unit type with a simple yet elegant style. I heard some sounds coming from the other room and so I walked towards it. As I got closer and closer to the area, the voices become clearer.“I thought you’re not coming back anymore,” a man’s voice said.I never been nosy before but something tells me I need to listen to their conversation. I kept my distance, enough just so I can hear them. I heard some sizzling sound. Someone is cooking.“I just want to show her where I had been for the past four years,” I heard Daevon responded.So he didn’t come home before?“How about that other girl? What was her name again? Ellaine? Yeah, that’s it,” the other man’s voice asked casually.
RUINED CHAPTER 33
It’s already late yet Daevon is still in our house. He’s playing with my daughter in the living room while the three of us stood there in the kitchen, talking among ourselves.“So what’s your plan?” my dad asked casually while drinking his coffee. Both of them were eyeing me, waiting for me to speak.I only cupped my chin using my hand and massaged my temple.“I don’t know. I need to talk to him first,” I said before looking at them.My mom smiled at me thinly and gently patted me on my shoulder. “Everything will be okay,” she reassured. “I can feel it, he still loves you so give him a chance.”A sad smile roamed my lips and let out a sigh.You got your gut feeling wrong, mom.I shook my head. As I was beginning to be lost in thoughts, I suddenly felt a presence behind my back.“Let’s talk,” a baritonic voice said.I can feel the same fear crawling down my chest but I tried to remove it. I turned to him with a life

"Is this real?" my daughter asked. Her eyes couldn’t stop from widening and gasping as waters started forming in her eyes.We’re currently inside our room where she watched the video I showed her. I only forced myself to smile and nodded.Hi honey. How are you? Take care always.“D-Daddy,” she called out and tears started streaming down her little rosy cheeks. I then immediately embraced her into a tight hug. It’s been a week since I gathered all of my strength and went with my plan.I decided to arrange everything now about my daughter but I still need to prepare Daeshaia with whatever happens. I made sure to ask Daevon for one take of a video.*flashback*“Ah…Daevon?” I called out after we ate. “Can you do me a favor?” I felt him squeeze my hand gently under the table.He then looked at me with a serious look on his face. “As long as it’s not to let go of you, then sure,” he said. I gasped for a second with what he said but quickly r

I stared blankly at my office the whole morning. It feels like I’ve been played all along.He was not there that day.Then if that was the case… what was that thing I encountered four years ago?Did… Ellaine planned it all along?I shook my head. I don’t want to think negative words about someone but there’s still a possibility.Why would she do that?I was out of my reverie when I heard a knock. The door then swung open gently and whom appeared in front of me was none other than Daevon.I froze for a second when I saw him holding onto a bouquet of rose as he approached me.He thinly smiled at me and put down the flowers onto my table.“T-Thanks,” I uttered weakly while looking at it. I then turned to look at him.“I change my mind,” he said in a low pitch voice while staring at me. I gulped, feeling as if something was stuck in my throat.“What do you mean?” I asked. I almost thanked God for not letting me stutter.
