2022-04-14 11:53:29"Mr. Sarmiento, we met at last!" Overly cheerful na bati ni Leah.
Nakarating na sila sa Farm noon at napilit na rin ni Elisha ang ama nito na isuot ang pink shirt at cap na bigay ng kaibigan niya.To say that Nate carried the attire really well was an understatement. He looked like a model who had just stepped out of a magazine cover. Kahit ano ata ipasuot sa binata ay babagay rito.And Hannah felt a little bit conscious that she was wearing a shirt the same as the one Nate was wearing. Tapos may nakalagay pang Team Sarmiento na parang talagang isa silang pamilya nina Elisha at Nate."Hannah always talks about you!" Patuloy ni Leah at kung wala roon si Caleb ay baka nakatikim na ito sa kanya.Tipid na ngiti at maiksing bati lang ang tugon ni Nate na halatang pinipilit ang sarili na hindi maging suplado. He obviously wasn't used to casual talks with a new acquaintance."I really don't talk about you that much," sabi niya ka

Raising The Billionaire's Child 19. Too late.
Two more hours and Hannah's most dreaded confrontation was about to unfold. Natatakot siyang ma-reject. Natatakot siyang malaman na hindi na siya kailangan pa ng kanyang ama sa buhay nito. Hannah's last memory of David Rodriguez was when he asked her to leave his house dahil ayaw umano ng bago niyang stepmother ang presensya niya sa bahay nila. She was making his wife remember that she was just a second wife raw. Naalala niya na nagmakaawa siya noon dahil wala siyang pupuntahan. Pero nagmakaawa rin ang kanyang ama na umalis na siya. He needed his second wife, he said. 'Yon lang daw umano ang paraan para tuluyan itong makarecover sa pagkawala ng kanyang ina. That's when Hannah ran to Olive for help. At hindi siya binigo ng kaibigan niya. Nine years later, heto siya, sana nga buo na ang kanyang loob na makaharap ang kanyang ama at ang bago nitong pamilya. "Nervous?" tanong ni Nate. "A bit," amin niya. Tam

Bumisita sila Hannah sa puntod ng kanyang ama kinabukasan. Doon ay hinayaan muna siyang mapag-isa ng mga kasama niya. Somehow that was the closest she could get to her father. She could no longer see him, no longer hug him, no longer talk to him. And no matter how hard it was for Hannah, she had to face the truth. Na ulila na siya at mag-isa na lang talaga sa buhay. Kahit naman matagal na siyang independent, iba pa rin iyong alam niyang wala na talaga siyang magulang. 'Yong alam niya na hindi na niya makikita pa ang mga ito. Pero ang pinakamasakit sa lahat ay iyong mawala ang kanyang ama nang hindi siya nakakahingi ng tawad. Ni hindi niya nasabi na hindi naman talaga siya galit, na hindi nito kailangang hingiin ang kapatawaran niya at tulad ng kanyang ama ay hindi rin siya tumigil na mahalin ito. But she wasn't able say any of those, instead, heto siya, puntod na lang ang kaharap niya. "Hannah," narinig niyang marahang tawag ni Nate, agad niyang tinuyo

Olive was traumatized. Lagi raw itong sumisigaw at umiiyak at sa presensya lang ni Nate ito kumakalma. Nate on the other hand managed to clear his schedules to stay beside his ex ayon na rin sa payo ng mga doktor sa London. In fact, isang linggo na si Nate doon and during those times, he would just call and talk to Elisha for a few minutes everyday. Sina Hannah at Nate, hindi pa nag-uusap. Ayaw rin namang dumagdag ng dalaga sa mga alalahanin ni Nate. Alam niya na hindi biro ang pinagdadaanan nito. Mabuti rin nga at wala ng pasok si Elisha. Dahil may mga balita ng lumabas na si Olive talaga ang ina ng bata. Hindi niya alam kung paano iyon nalaman ng media. Pero sa panahon naman ngayon ay wala ng imposible. Hindi pa nagpapalabas ng opisyal na pahayag si Nate at wala itong pinapaunlakan na interview. Pero ang problema, dahil mainit ang issue, hindi makalabas sina Hannah at Elisha. Lalo na dahil nauungkat iyong pagkakataon na nakita sila

Hannah's been unleashing someone that wasn't really her. She hated doing it but she had to. For the sake of one family that she had unintentionally kept apart. Just now, Elisha's been crying for the nth time this week dahil lagi niya itong pinapagalitan. Kaunting bagay na hindi naman nito kasalanan ay nagagalit siya. Hindi nga lang niya ito sinasaktan physically. Hindi na niya magagawa iyon sa anak niya na hindi naman dapat paluin. Eli was a good girl. Hannah's proud to have raised her like that. Pero kailangang lumayo ang loob nito sa kanya. That's what she'd been trying to do. Pero si Elisha nagmamakaawa sa kahihingi ng sorry sa kanya. Hindi ito nagagalit. Kaya mas nahihirapan siya. She wanted so badly to pacify her but she needed to be hard on her. "Mommy... Sorry! Mommy!" Yumakap ito sa binti niya. "I'm not going to play dolls again if you don't want, mommy," mga manyika kasi ni Eli ang napagdiskitahan niya kanina. Wala lang. 'Di naman nakakalat. Gu

Mula sa bintana ng silid ni Hannah, kita niya sina Olive, Nate at Elisha na nagbe-breakfast. She was supposed to be there dahil request ni Eli iyon. Sa katunayan ay ilang beses itong bumalik sa kwarto niya but she pretended to be sick. Unti-unti nang nabubuo ang pamilya ng mga ito. Pero mas mabilis niyang nararamdaman na hindi na siya kailangan doon. Nanghihinang bumalik siya sa kama niya. Kakapanggap niyang may sakit siya, parang nagkakatotoo na yata. Ang bigat ng mga talukap niya at nananakit ang kanyang mga mata sa kakaiyak. She could even feel her head aching like hell. Parang kasing sakit ng sugat na palalim nang palalim sa puso niya. Hannah found herself sleeping again. Iyon lang yata ang gusto niyang gawin. Forget about eating and everything else. Atleast, habang tulog siya, nakakapagpahinga siya mula sa mga problema niya. It's like a temporary escape where she needed not to face Olive, hurt Eli and pretend that she's not in l

'Good morning folks... I know we have the same question in mind as Nate Sarmiento, Olive and their cute daughter Elisha were spotted together in an adorable family moment in Bali, Indonesia... Are we hearing wedding bells soon? This family had truly touched the lives of many. They struggled to be together but hey, in the end, evil did not prevail...' Tumaas ang sulok ng bibig ni Hannah as she watched the news. Evil talaga? "Hoy!" Binatukan siya ni Leah. "Aray!" reklamo niyang binalingan ang kaibigang kakapanganak lang. "Ano bang problema mo? Bigla bigla ka na lang nananakit?!" "Nanonood ka na naman niyan!" Inagaw nito sa kanya ang remote at pinatay ang TV. "It's not like alam kong ibabalita 'yon. I'm watching the news. Not them," kaila niya. "Who are you kidding? You saw it on the headlines. But instead of turning the TV off, hinintay mo talaga ang balita sa mga Sarmiento." "Of course not. You're too as

Hindi nakatulog si Hannah. Kaya kinabukasan, dinaig pa niya ang puyat na panda sa kaitiman ng palibot ng mga mata niya. Paano, bukod sa hindi na nga siya nakatulog, sinabayan pa niya ng iyak. "Hannah, napa'no ka?" Syempre napansin ng co-worker niyang si Mia ang itsura niya. "Puyat," simple niyang tugon. "Oh siya. Puyat na kung puyat. Kanina ka pa hinihintay ni boss." "'Andyan na siya?" Sinipat niya ng tingin ang suot na wristwatch. Maaga pa siya ng thirty minutes. "Oo. Ang aga nga eh. Pinapahanda niya ang conference room. Meeting daw tayo lahat." "Talaga?" Bihirang mangyari na iipunin silang lahat para kausapin. Kaya sigurado si Hannah na importante ang meeting na iyon. She proceeded to her boss' office. Tatlong marahan at kalkuladong katok ang ginawa niya bago niya narinig ang boses nito na nagbibigay ng permisong pumasok siya. Nadatnan niya ang boss na seryosong nakatanaw sa glasswall ng opis

"He's at the hotel." "What?!" bulalas ni Hannah. "Kakagaling ko lang doon, Paul and his assistant said na wala siya." Kausap niya sa phone si Paul. Syempre hindi naman siya didiretso sa bahay ni Nate. For all she knew, baka banned siyang pumasok ng subdivision. "Baka sa kabila." "Saang kabila?" Frustrated niyang tanong. "Andaming NS Hotel. Which one? Please, I only have a couple of hours left and then my landlord will throw all my belongings if I am not back to get them." "Hannah, I'm sorry. I don't know. I'm going to fetch Elisha now." "Can you help me figure out?" she begged. "Please, I've nowhere to go. I need him to tell my landlord to give me more time." "You have his number, Hannah. Why don't you call him?" "I- I don't have it." Binura niya iyon para hindi siya matukso noon na tawagan ito. "I deleted his number," amin niya. "Geez, Hannah, you're so complicated. I'll forward it to you. Cal

"Eli," marahang nilapitan ni Nate ang anak na nakatulala habang naka-indian sit sa gitna ng kama nito. "Time to see your doctor, anak."Pakiramdam niya kinurot ang puso niya when Eli didn't even look at him. His little girl was drowned into her thoughts again."Elisha, Dr. Railey is already waiting for you." Tinabihan niya ang bata at kinabig ito para halikan sa ulo."I don't need a doctor, daddy," mahinang usal ng bata. "I'm not sick.""He will just talk to you, anak." Dr. Railey was Eli's psychiatrist. For a week now, nakakailang session na si Elisha and yet parang wala pa ring improvement. Madalas pa rin itong tulala at bigla na lang umiiyak at sumisigaw. "Hey, do you like to visit mommy?"Upon hearing the word mommy, Elisha nodded almost eagerly. Gano'n naman lagi. Kapag nahihirapan siyang kausapin ito, Hannah would always do the trick. Kapag nababanggit ito sa bata, Elisha would start responding like her normal self."Yes daddy! I miss mommy so much!""

"Olive," Hannah tried to calm Olive down. "Let's talk. Not like this. Please, natatakot na si Eli…" "No... We will talk like this. Eli has to know what a slut you are, Hannah!" Gigil na itinutok nito sa tagiliran ni Elisha ang kutsilyo habang pigil nito ang bata sa buhok nito. "How you ruined our family!" Eli wasn't complaining kahit nakadungaw na sa mga mata nito ang pinipigilan nitong mga luha. She was a brave kid! Hindi niya alam kung dapat ba niyang ikatuwa iyon na tahimik lang ito o hindi. "Don't hurt her, I beg you." Siya pa ang naunang maiyak kaysa sa bata. "She's your daughter, Liv! Your own flesh and blood!" She couldn't contain seeing Eli so scared like that but she couldn't do anything. One wrong move and Olive could hurt Eli. "I know... " bahagya nitong inilayo ang kutsilyo "I'm not going to hurt Eli. I need her so Nate would come back to me. But– " bitin nitong itinabi sa leeg ni Eli ang hawak nito. "If you're not going to coopera
Raising The Billionaire's Child 39. Patch things up.
Dumiretso na sila sa bahay. Nate held a meeting with the whole security team of his house. Kung bakit, hindi niya alam. After an hour, nagpaalam ito na makikipag-conference meeting sa mga staff nito via video call. She told him okay at nagpasyang mag-bake na lang ng chocolate chip cookies para sa asawa niya't anak. They were like crazy with the cookie. Mag-ama nga ang mga ito. Hannah smiled to herself. Hindi mapipigilan ng problemang dumating ang kasiyahan niya sa bagong estado niya sa buhay. Nate loves her at kahit hindi sila makapag-honeymoon ngayon, okay lang. She knew Nate, babawi ito. That's for sure. She was preparing the ingredients when her phone rang. It was Olive. "Hannah," bungad nito nang sagutin niya ang tawag. "Hello Liv," alanganin niyang bati. "Eli's with me. I'm wondering if you can come and get her? I have an appointment in two hours. I cannot drive her back. I need to fix myself pa." "
Raising The Billionaire's Child 38. With this ring.
Hannah woke up to the feeling of a hand stroking her hair. What??? Who??? How??? She was alone in the townhouse! Who could possibly be with her? "Hannah," it was Nate's voice, Hannah froze. Just last night, she dreamed of him. In fact it's still so vivid, she could actually remember every detail of her dream. So hearing Nate's voice when she was already fully awake though not still opening her eyes, made her heart skip a beat. "Hannah" she heard him chuckling. "I know you're already awake. Come on, open your eyes or I'll kiss you." Sukat sa sinabi nito ay agad siyang nagmulat, only to find Nate's face directly above her face. His amused gaze stared back at her surprised wide eyes. "N-nate?!" She stammered at nagmamadaling bumangon, totally forgetting na halos magkadikit pala ang mukha nila. So she ended up head butting Nate Sarmiento. "Ouch!" Exaggerated na sinapo ng binata ang noo nito. "I-I'm sorry!" Agad niya i
Raising The Billionaire's Child 37. The best dream.
"Welcome back, GM!" Paul, his best friend slash Eli's bodyguard, greeted him with a huge grin on his face. Ito lang ang pinagsabihan niya ng pagdating niya dahil kailangan niyang magpasundo galing sa airport. "How's everyone?" he asked nang makasakay na siya sa kotse. "You mean, Hannah?" he teased and an involuntary smile lit up his face. Pero agad ding naglaho iyon nang makita ang seryosong mukha ni Paul. "Not good." "What do you mean not good?" kunot noong tanong niya na bahagyang kinakabahan. "The news isn't true right, Nate?" nananantiyang tanong nito. "What news?" mas lumalim ang pagkakakunot noo niya. "That you and Olive are getting married." "What?!" bulalas niya. "Of course not!" Saan galing iyon? "Well, that's what Olive's been telling everyone. That you're getting married. There were pictures of you and Olive circulating online. That you're together in Macau and you're having your sweet time t
Raising The Billionaire's Child 36. Just this one time.
It was just supposed to be three days. Kaso hindi siya nakaalis dahil sunod-sunod ang naging problema. Nate hated every freaking time he needed to spend in Macau. Each second away from Elisha and Hannah's almost driving his thoughts into nuts. He missed Hannah so much that he needed to disconnect himself with his phone during his stay in Macau so that he wouldn't be tempted to call her every hour. Worst, fly back to the Philippines just so he would have her in his arms again. Because admittedly, he was so in love with Hannah that he would move mountains to be with her. Unfortunately, he couldn't do that at the given time. Nate never thought he was capable of loving one woman that way. He had Olive for five years. Pero hindi siya nabaliw na hindi ito makita sa loob lang ng ilang araw. Although he believed he used to love her, separation had never been a problem to him. But with Hannah, it's a whole lot different story. Hannah Rodrigue
Raising The Billionaire's Child 35. Together again.
It's a weekend.Hannah decided to pay Leah a visit. Isinama niya si Elisha para makipaglaro ito kay Seth at para makita nito sa unang pagkakataon ang kapatid ng kaibigan nito.As expected, Eli's reaction was adorable. Seeing Bethany for the first time, Eli repeatedly told her na bigyan na rin niya ito ng kapatid. Inggit na inggit ito kay Seth."Eli, mommy and daddy need to get married first," sabi ni Leah."When are you getting married, mom?" Ungot nito na ayaw bitawan ang kamay ni Bethany."In the right time, anak.""When is the right time?""You'll just know it, Eli." Paano naman niya ipapaliwanag kay Elisha na malabo pa sa sabaw ng dinuguan ang relasyon nila ng ama nito? Eli won't understand."Okay," naka-pout na sabi nito bago lumapit kay Seth na tinawag ito papunta sa playroom."Ano na? Four days na si Nate sa Macau, ah? Kailan ang uwi?" untag ni Leah.Malungkot siyang umiling. Four days in Macau and he had only called her once. Pagk

"Coffee, Sir?" Hannah still works for Nate in the hotel. Pero sa bahay nito na siya nakatira at sinasabay na siya sa pagpasok after dropping Elisha to her school. Gusto pa sana niyang gawin 'yong dati na mag-i-stay siya sa school ni Eli but the kid herself said na kaya na nito with her yaya and Paul. "Yes, please." Hindi nag-aangat ng paningin na sagot ng binatang busy sa laptop nito. Maingat naman niyang inilapag sa tabi nito ang tasa ng kape na dala-dala na niya. "Express?" He smiled at her. "Yep..." nakangiti ring tugon niya. "For the ever busy GM." "Come here." "Hmn?" Kunot noong tanong niya na lumapit sa tapat nito, Nate's table in between them. "A good employee deserves a prize." He pushed his laptop to his side then leaned over his table, almost closing their distance while looking at her lips teasingly. "I am not aware of such," hindi siya umatras. "Wala ata iyon sa employee handbook."
Raising The Billionaire's Child 33. Come back home.
"What was that, Nate?" She asked Nate who closed the room's door behind him. Elisha was now out of earshot as Adam took her with him after much convincing that her mommy wasn't going anywhere. "Can't you stay for Eli?" he asked back. Lumapit ito sa kinauupuan niya at ipinaghila ang sarili nito ng upuan sa tapat niya. Then he started to gently press a cold compress on her swollen cheek. "You know that I'd do anything for Elisha," mabilis ang tibok ng puso at naiilang sa proximity ni Nate na sagot niya, mas nararamdaman pa nga niya ang kamay nito kaysa sa yelo na idinadampi-dampi nito sa pisngi niya. "Pero ikaw? Is it okay with you?" "What do you think, Hannah?" Inihinto nito ang ginagawa para salubungin ang mga mata niya. "I- I can't really tell," amin niya. He sighed before pulling away. "Please do this for Elisha. I want her to be happy," pakiusap nito. "It's not like I can say no. I'm still working for
