2024-10-29 19:42:56Two weeks passed and I hadn't seen Brent since we arrived in California. I could only hear his voice whenever he's around to visit his son. I used to stay in my room because I was determined to avoid him.
Honestly, I felt like getting insane just being inside the house. I was like in prison who only had four corners of the place. Thankfully, Aira's apartment has a small balcony that somehow I could breathe some fresh air. I didn't want to go out as I'm afraid that coincidentally I bump with someone from the press. As much as possible, I wanted to be careful because it's better to be at peace than to be the topic online.
"It's Louie's birthday in a few days," I received a message from Brent. I replied to him that it's okay with me if he'll get Louie on the day of his birthday and celebrate with his family. I added that we could have it the next day and it's no big deal with me. He persuaded me to go and celebrate with them but I refused instantly.

I wasn't able to work properly but thankfully, I hadn't encountered errors in all my tasks for that day. My mind was really bothered and felt like getting insane. I could clearly recall the same emotion I had when I left California for Arizona. Awful. As expected, the news about the infamous Brent Davis's son broke the gossip online. Brent happened to get cornered by media and asked about details of his son which he proudly admitted. When asked about the mother of his son, he said that it's censored. That was why a lot of speculation got released that Louie was delivered by a surrogate. It was also written in the news that maybe Olivia and he couldn't have a child that they chose to gamble with science. They were still attached and believed that they're in a relationship. Maybe because Brent never denied the rumors between them. When asked about what happened to me, he said he will face them at the right perfect time. I didn't know why he said that but maybe that was

The moment I opened my eyes, I was in an unfamiliar room. I thought that I was dreaming but when I flickered my eyes, I realized that I was in a hospital room. After few seconds, someone pushed the door open and Aira appeared in front of me."How are you feeling?" the concern in her voice was clearly evident. "What am I doing here?" I furrowed in confusion. She told me straightforwardly that I overdosed on sleeping pills. She happened to open my room because it was already noon and I was still sleeping.As per her story, she called me for breakfast but I wasn't responding. Since she doesn't want to disturb me, she let me sleep because she thought I spared more time for slumber. After all, it was Saturday and no work. But when she noticed that it was already noon, she got worried and intruded on my room.As soon as she opened my door with her extra key, she found me on my bed unconscious. She thought I overslept but when she tried to shake

Luckily, Aira sent me to the station on time. Right after I sat down on my designated seat, the train began to move away. I couldn't stop my tears that they fell non-stop from my eyes. I felt suffocated that I would not see my child anymore. I was poured with unfortunate events in life and I felt jealous of those people who are happy and living life to the fullest. Am I cursed? I couldn't stop myself to think about the thing."Are you alright?" A woman in front of me asked worriedly. As I couldn't hide my cry, I told her that I'm just sad leaving the city because I will definitely miss my family. But the truth, my heart was bleeding deeply and I couldn't understand my intense emotion. I felt like my stomach churned uncontrollably on the swirling storm of my sentiments. I was like floating in the air because of my chaotic mind and heart.Am I a bad mother for abandoning my child? Will Louie forgive me in the future? What will be Brent and his family think of me? That I'
Screaming Hearts Elated
I was stunned with parted lips and broadened eyes on the sight of my son. He was carried and fast asleep on the nook of his father. My eyes swelled instantly and didn't want to move because I'm afraid everything was unreal."Louie can't live without his mom," Brent muttered tenderly and my tears fell uncontrollably. I wasn't able to step my legs closer to them because of my indescribable emotion."Lora, could you help me get some fresh vegetables outside?" Grandma motioned to Lora who was sitting on the couch. She nodded and stood up hurriedly before she followed Grandma in the garden. But it was obvious that Grandma did it intentionally to give Brent and me a moment to talk with each other.When they were totally out of sight, Brent walked closer to me. My heart was racing fast and my fingers were trembling in exhilaration to touch my son. Brent breathed heavily, "Kelsie, I'm not that evil to take away our son from you," he sounded soft. Carefully,

I shook my head and right away disconnected his hand from mine. "I don't want to," my breath hitched. He narrowed on my response, "Why?" and asked in dismay."I don't deserve you," I bowed my head, "I'm not worthy of you," and added softly. I felt ashamed that I wronged him in the past. It was enough that he forgave my mistake but for us to be together again is not workable.I didn't want to be connected with him anymore aside from sharing our son. I wanted to refrain from him because I didn't want to suffer in the end. From the very beginning, we aren't born for each other. In short, we're the total opposite in all aspects. I wouldn't find the peace and happiness that belongs to me if I insist on him.I fake a cough to ease my emotion because our conversation had gotten deeper. "Let's not force to be together because things will never be the same between us," I reasoned casually but he wasn't backing down."Kelsie, I'm willing to compromise for you

"Kelsie, I tried hard to forget you but I couldn't," he cupped my face and I shivered on the sensation he was sending me. "I hate myself that I couldn't get you out of my system," he was looking at me with so much affection. "It's always you that I longed for," and leaned his forehead against mine."Baby, I may have the riches but it's useless because I can't be totally happy in my heart," he professed slowly and I couldn't form even a single word in response to him. "You and Louie are the people who could only fill the void in me," he added and to say I was stunned is an understatement."Don't you love me anymore?" he breathed out and my tears fell non-stop. I was tired of pretending in front of him that I don't love him anymore and my heart couldn't lie. "I can't take another day, months, or years that we're not settled," he sounded desperate. He wiped my tears with his thumb, "Baby, please," and crashed his lips against mine.At first, I resisted him bu
Screaming Hearts Compromise
My eyes broadened on the engagement ring that he once gave to me. I was astonished that he kept it with him for the past three years.He inhaled a deep breath, "My world went upside down when Hunter returned this to me," he was looking at the ring lovingly. "I kept this because I hoped that one day we'll see each other again," he spoke affectionately. "No one deserves to own this but you," he emphasized his words and I felt like my heart would explode in happiness.He lifted his gaze to meet mine and my tears brimmed instantly. "Let's get married, baby," he muttered carefully while looking at me with so much love and desire. I gasped and covered my mouth in the palm of my hand in surprise. He did not ask me and I must say, it was an order."Are.. are you sure?" I was startled at how fast he wanted to make things between us. He pursed his lips into a thin line, "Never been sure," and slipped the band on my ring finger. I was dumbfounded with parted lips at the si

"Really?" he narrowed in disbelief but was able to smile showing his perfect set of teeth. "Thank you, baby," he elevated my hand and kissed it gently. He told me that we could stay in his penthouse in the meantime as he will look for a proper house for the three of us to live in.I opposed him for a second but he insisted that it's important for us to have a house so that I could comfortably breathe fresh air from the outside. He doesn't want me to say in four corners of a plot because he's aware that I'm a bit mentally unstable. At the same time, he wanted Louie to have a spacious playground where he could conveniently play outdoor with his toys.Eventually, he was able to convince me with his justifications. Also, it would be better for me to have a place that I could go out of the house without any worries. I could spend my time planting any plants that would fit in the kind of house or surrounding that he will be choosing."Do you still want to work?"

When I opened my eyes, I was lying in a hospital bed with a machine beeping beside me and an IV attached to my hand. I looked around and I saw Aira standing and leaning on the wall wearily. When she noticed that I'm awake, "Kelsie!" she exclaimed worriedly."How are you feeling?" she asked hastily. "Hailey! Kelsie is awake," she called and I heard Hailey responded from the bathroom before she pushed the door open. "Thank goodness!" she murmured."I'm thirsty," I said weakly. Aira opened a bottle and put in a straw for me to sip conveniently. "Why am I in a hospital bed?" I asked but recalled that I wasn't feeling well before I fainted."Hailey, call Brent that she's up," Aira told her and she complied. They said I was out for eight hours because the doctor infused medicine for me to rest that long to recuperate from exhaustion. They informed me that Brent is coming shortly from the precinct with Hunter on the investigation of the fight that happened the previous

Brent told me that his mom is about to speak to everyone and thankfully, we got back to our table right before she was called up the podium. All of the guests gave her a round of applause as she paced to the front.Right at the beginning of her speech, she thanked each and everyone for coming and for celebrating her 55th birthday. She gave some words of wisdom and encouragement which was a good inspiration to take in. As she talked at the podium, you could tell that she's a warmhearted person. Her class and personality are like a match made in heaven. I felt so lucky to have her as my mother-in-law.When she was about to end her appreciation, she called her husband up for a clink.

"Open your eyes," the makeup artist which Natalia hired for me announced that we're done with the hair and makeup. She took an hour to finish applying the shades on my face and for me, that was fast. With a widened eyes and parted lips, I stilled at how she made me look splendid. She braided my hair and wrapped it around my head with a few strands left in front of my face."Do you like it?" Max asked cheerfully in his gay-ish tone. "Max, you have magic hands," I praised him heartily. I was able to attend an event in the past but the look and shades he blended for me for Natalia's birthday event is a total opposite. I mean, I was beautiful in the previous transformation but Max made it simple yet elegant."You're a standout tonight!" he exclaimed in vivid spirits. "Thank you, Max," I replied in awe. He pulled me toward the evening gowns which Hailey sent for me to choose. I thought she will only send a piece but she made three beautiful gowns in different colors.&

"You slut, get back to your post!" she pointed to the station furiously but my anger rose at how she treated the poor assistant. "And why you allow that brat to make the office a playing ground?" she motioned at my son and I gritted my teeth in infuriation."You have no right to insult her!" I interrupted with a quivering voice. As I didn't want to distract Louie whose a few meters away from us and oblivious about what was happening around, I tried to lower my voice."Of course, you will defend her. Birds with the same feather flocks together," she taunted and that got me infuriated to the peak."Let's be clear here, Olivia!" I was firm with my words. "Why are you so angry with my comeback?
