HACE “Ouch!” I quickly turned around when I felt someone kick my leg. I heard her breathing hitch , when I turned around she was covering her mouth. Surprised to see me, I glared at her and shook my injured leg. "Why did you do that for?" I ask, she just looked at me stupidly as if she couldn't believe it, she turned around and looked back at me. "I'm sorry, I thought you were Alexander. I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to kick you." she bent down to my foot and touched it, I was startled to feel her caressing my foot. I stepped back, she looked up at me and stood up. "It's okay, I'm fine. It just stings a little bit, you have a strong kick for a young kid." She snorted, I swallowed looking at her. "I'm not a kid anymore, I'm ten already. " I pursed my lips to stop myself from smiling, she's just too cute and I want to pinch her reddish chicks. "What did my brother do to you anyway, it looks like he pissed you off." She stomped and looked around again. " Really, that man is anno
I quickly got off when we got to the house and left Alexander. I was greeted by a shocked maid and quickly told me where mom was when I asked. I saw mom watering her plants in the garden. She turned to me and smiled, quickly releasing her grip . She quickly came to me and hugged me. "Thank god, you're here. You make me worried son, I won't be able to contact you again. I'm just worried about you, you don't even allow me in your house. Is there something wrong, did something happen? Margaux said that you're not going in the company for months now. What's going on son, you know you can tell mommy." She broke away from the hug and grabbed my cheek and caressed it. I shook my head and grabbed her hand on my face and lowered it. She looked at it in surprise, frowning when she looked at her hand. "Son?" "Mom, tell me. Do you have something to tell me? Are you hiding something from me?” Her eyes widened and she stepped back. In her expression, I know she really has something to tell me.
HACE I caught up with Alexander who was outside, leaning on the car. I walked closer to him, he straightened up when I got closer. I stared at him, I clenched my hand in my pocket. My fist came out in his face, I wasn't satisfied yet and I punched him again. He didn't move in shock, when I stopped sharply, his gaze lifted to me. "What the heck is wrong with you? Why the heck would you punch me? What's that for, you jerk!" He threatened me with a punch, I backed away and he just glared at me. My jaw dropped as I remembered why I was angry with him now. I went inside first, he just stared at me in disbelief. I heard him cursing before turning around and getting on the driver's side. He sighed violently and turned to me with a bad look. "Seriously, what's your problem? All of a sudden you're punching for no reason!” He started the car, I grinned as I felt relief from the blow I gave him. I should have done that before. "I have my reason why I punch you, and you deserve it." I smirk
HACE I folded my hands when we reached the place. And because the place is far away, we waited for morning. We're here in town just waiting for light. And because that place is quite isolated. We had to wait for dawn, before continuing. I nervously leaned on the chair, I couldn't wait to see her . My heart was pounding nervously and I was restless. I got out of the car and breathed in the air outside. I took a few breaths and let it go trembling. I clenched my fist because it was shaking. In addition to the cold night, and also because the place is full of trees , the cold is palpable. I put both hands on my waist and looked at the sky. I'm praying that time will go by, so that I can see her . "Hey relax, you will see her. "I looked at him as he had already gone out, but his arm was resting on the door jamb. "Take a rest first, you've been driving for hours. And look at the bags under your eyes.” He shook his head, I shook my head and didn't listen to him. I turned my back on him a
HACE I hugged her tighter from behind. We are now sitting here in the shade of the tree. Me leaning against the trunk of the tree and Nerissa hugging her back. I couldn't handle my emotions earlier and all my emotions poured out. From the longing and when I miss her , the regret that I will regret for the rest of my life. I can't believe that she is now here next to me and I still hug her . It's like I'm just dreaming, and I hope if it's a dream I won't wake up again. I'm just here in my dream, where I'm with her . I can't bear to lose her again. "Are you calm now ?" She asked caressing my arm that was hugging her . I nodded and buried my face in her neck. I don't want to be away from her , like any time I can't touch her or even feel her . I'm nervous that I won't see her again. She took a deep breath and just leaned her head on me. I caressed the bulge of his stomach, she held my hand on her stomach. "I'm sorry." she moved, separated from my hug. I quickly looked at her and hel
NERISSA "Aunt, let them be here first. Maybe those people won't last long, they also have jobs left behind in Manila." I told her not to worry, she just glared at me. "Don't fool me Nerissa, do you think that Hace will leave immediately without you?" She turned to see where Hace and Draco were with the children playing with the puppets outside. I took a deep breath, explaining what will happen here to you. I know that she is just worried, because she has caught me crying secretly at night several times. Ever since I was with them, when Maddie brought me here, it was hard to explain what happened. My uncle and Aunt are angry with whoever took me, I even found out that someone brought them here in the province on the very day that only me and my brothers were supposed to go here. They said they didn't know who , when I asked Maddie, she doesn't know anything either. I looked at Hace, couldn't he be the one who sent them here? But this province is far away. Maddie and I have been awa
NERISSA I was distracted by the sun's rays hitting my face. I opened one eye and looked through the window. It's morning, I got up rubbing my eyes. I looked next to me, Hace was gone. That man is there, he didn't even wake me up. I combed my hair with my hand. I fixed our bed first, and decided to go out. I could also hear the noise outside the house. When I got to the kitchen, I was greeted by my aunt who was already serving breakfast. I woke up late again, I couldn't take care of my siblings. Tiyang looked at me and smiled, I approached and greet her. "Good morning, aunt ." " Good morning to you too, sit down now. I have prepared the food and taken care of your siblings. I'll take them to school, you stay here and rest." She said as she lead me to sit. " I can take them to school. I'm not the one who prepared their breakfast, besides, you must be tired too." She shook her head and smiled, she took my hand and caressed it. " Oh it's nothing , I'm fine. Now look at your stoma
"What's going on here?" I left the kitchen when Tiyang didn't answer, because I heard a noise outside. And I was shaken by what I saw, I gasped for breath when I saw what they were doing now. Hace turned his gaze to me, he came closer and kissed my cheek while caressing my stomach. "Don't those people intend to go home?" Hace frowned at my question, he also looked at his friends now playing piko saya. Carlos carried my Aunt daughter on his shoulder while playing. He was very happy, when I looked at him he was also smiling. "I don't know about them, I already told them to go without me." I looked at him. "Why didn't you come then?" "Love, that's an obvious question. You're here, and wherever you are I'll be there." He sigh. "Is that a song?" I asked with a snort, he shook his head and hugged me. “You know you can't push me away. Because no matter what you do to push me, I will come back and I will still come back to you. You're my home, my love and my everything." I tearfully
" Hi love!" I just smiled when I felt Hace's hug from behind. He kissed my shoulder, up to my head. I smiled and looked at him without letting go of his hug. " The children?" I ask. "They are all out, but they'll get home before dinner like they promise. Just that princess here is left.” He sighed as he turned to look at our youngest who was on the couch watching by herself. Her older siblings told me last night that they were leaving to see their friends. They left early so I didn't catch up, and only our youngest was left behind. I caught my breath too, Nambe was eating crackersand her mouth was open as if her enemy was on the TV. "Do you think something's wrong with her? This is the first time that she did not go out with her sister Nexiah." I asked, unable to avoid worrying. "She's only fifteen love, what could be her problem that she's not telling us." He answer as his hand massage my waist. "That's it, she's only fifteen and this is the first time she doesn't move and lo
"What are we doing here?" "Come on mom, no questions please." Nexiah pulled me, Theresse and Thasia also came to the other side. They helped me enter their room here at papa's house." Come on aunty, you will like this. We're experts on this, when you go out of this room you will be unrecognizable with your beauty." "Thasia, don't worry, being aunt Nerissa herself is a beauty like our mom. No one can surpass their beauty.” Therese reprimanded her sister, but Thasia came to her and fixed my hair. I just smiled. "What are you really going to do with me?" "Relax mommy, we'll take care of you." I just shook my head at what Nexiah said, they ordered me to close my eyes which I followed. It's good not to argue with them so that it's over with whatever they have planned for me. They only whispered to me the whole time they did it to me. When they said I could open my eyes, I opened my eyes. My lips parted as I looked at the mirror in front of me. The four of them stopped and acted, Thasi
NERISSA "Good morning mommy!" I opened my eyes to the greetings of my children, I smiled to see them standing at the foot of the bed. I sat on the bed and greeted them with a smile, opening my arms. "Good morning my babies!" They came closer with a frown and hugged me. "Mom, we're not a baby anymore." My youngest ran away from our hug. "Son, you are not big , young women and young men, you are no longer babies in this house. You'll all be my babies, our babies." My youngest Nambe just left, came closer to me and hugged my waist. When I looked at the three in front of me, they were pushing each other. Ace pushing Nathan, and Nathan pushing Nexiah. Nexiah looked at her older brothers, I saw her take a deep breath before facing them smiling. "Mommy," he called softly, I smiled. He came closer to me and hugged my other side as well." Can we go to grandpa's house, promise we will behave there." The one who said I turned to his older brothers frowned, both Nathan and Ace looked away f
"You're a jerk for missing this out." Draco? I looked for the familiar voice, I looked around to see where I was. It was so bright, the light was so dazzling that I closed my eyes and blocked my eyes with my arm. I gasped, woke up from a bad dream. He said I died, how could I die I was only fifteen for god's sake. I don't want to die, I want to see that beautiful smile again. I got up, took a shower and hurriedly got dressed and went downstairs. I just grab a sandwich from the table and go directly outside. I looked for our driver and took him to the school, I got off with a smile. I feel like I'm floating in glee , it's still early so I'm sure they're still playing now. When I saw what I was looking for, I hid behind the plant with a wide smile. She was playing with her classmates, her best friend Alexander was also there. I waited impatiently for Alexander, I didn't go inside. He forced me to come here to the orphanage, I just want to go home. I want to see her again, maybe he'll
NERISSA "You are crying again." I turned to the person who spoke, I bent down and wiped away the tears. I felt her sit next to me and caress my back. "Everything will be fine, for now you need to rest. For the sake of your child, force yourself to eat and rest." I cried again hugging her , I was crying. I thought my tears had run out. I have been crying for a month. Yes, it's been a month since everything happened that destroyed my world. I thought everything would be fine when Hace came back. I fell asleep on the couch while waiting for them, I just woke up when I heard shouting and noise around. When I finally woke up, the surroundings were already smoking. I panicked and covered my nose to avoid inhaling the smoke. Until I saw Amanda come in, she was with some men who were being ordered. I was just looking at her when she came to me and pulled me out of the house. I was stunned, I didn't know what was happening. When we finally got out, I turned to the house that was already co
She showed the arm where the bomb was connected, towards her body. She smiled as if it didn't matter. "I'm waiting H, you know I don't like waiting." She said as she waved her hand with the gun. "H." I looked at my friends, they were all shaking their heads. They know that whatever I choose, it will be a dead end for me. But not for them, they can still go out in time. But my Nerissa, she's waiting for me. And our baby, I want to see her or him. We're supposed to see the doctor to know the gender. But I guess, I won't have a time for that. I won't be seeing them again. I gasped for air and faced her. "Let them go!" She smiled, liking what I said. She signaled the staff, I looked at them. They untied Nerissa's family. Aki, Carlos and Caden also helped. I saw Draco leave his seat and come to me. Caden motioned for the crew to leave. I shook my hand and shook Hillary's voice, she was happy but there were tears in her eyes. I can't fight her , she has the bomb. And no matter how fast
"Fuck!" We all got wet when the rain suddenly poured down. We covered our heads with our arms so that somehow we wouldn't get wet. The case is that the rain got stronger, so we didn't do anything. We turned to Carlos as he quickly took shelter on the rock and took off his clothes. We looked at him in wonder. "What?" He asked, as he noticed us looking at him. “I need to save these clothes, my babe just bought this for me. I can't let this get wet, I have to wear it again tomorrow." he looked for a cover in his pink shirt , I shook my head and looked at my companions. We were thinking the same thing, Draco answered him. "Bud, you do know what's written in your shirt." “Yeah, yeah. Don't mind me, I can be whatever she likes if that takes her not leaving me again." I sighed and patted Draco's shoulder and asked him to answer again. 'MA' BITCH' That's what's written in his shirt. "We need to move now, they're distracted." We all looked at Aki, nodded and got ready. We parted ways, w
HACE I drove the car quickly because of the call I received from home. Marj found Nerissa unconscious in our room. I left the meeting and just left because of my panic. I went down quickly when I got to the house, after entering I went upstairs and went straight to our room. The worried faces of Manang Lara and Marj appeared. I ignored them and went straight to where Nerissa was lying. I sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand. I faced the doctor panting. "What happened is she okay, and our baby is the baby okay?" "Yes Mr. Mondeñego, thankfully your wife is okay. And I'm glad that your baby is okay too. Just a little complication of her passing out because of shock. Everything is okay, my advice is to let her rest and not to think too much that will stress her." The doctor explain as he's putting all his things in his bag. "She was okay when I left this morning." I turned my attention to manang Lara." What happened?" I saw Marj nod, Marj walked to the side of the bed on the
"No, no. You can't do this to me, I know you love me. You're just like this because of that girl! You can't do this to me, you can't. I've been with you, we're together for years." I'm afraid to hug Hace, it's like Hillary is not herself. " Hillary, first of all I didn't ask you to marry me. You proposed to me and I said yes, because I thought you're the one I'm looking for. But I'm wrong, and I'm so sorry this happened to us. I love you but just a friend, my colleague.” Hillary just shook her head at Hace's words, feeling bad that she approached me. Hace immediately blocked his body. I bowed to his chest, I don't know what happened. I just saw the bulk of Hillary walking out the door. I broke away from the hug, Hace grabbed my face and made me face him. "She is crying." I said, Hace was in tears, he just shook his head. "Thank you for coming back by the way." I hugged him again. " I'm jealous." He kissed my head, I pulled his neck. "Love, what are you going to do?" He nervou
