Second Time Around Chapter 8
I always open my cafeteria only for half a day whenever it is Sunday. The factory is closed and most of my customers are all employees there, which is why only a few people are visiting my place.So, I closed at noon and made sure that my helper was able to get home. And after that, I decided to go home.And while I was approaching the apartment where I rented a unit, I frowned when I saw that most of my neighbors were outside, whispering about something.There are also ambulances and that made me nervous so I immediately ran toward there thinking that something was going on in my house.And when I finally reached the gate of the compound, I saw Mikea’s mother, Michelle, was unconsciously lying down on the ambulance stretcher. Beside her is Mikea’s sister, Michaella, who was crying.“What happened here?” I asked Lucile, one of my neighbors who was also curious about what was happening. “Why is Michelle unconscious?”“She had a heart attack,” she answered. “Michaella said her mother ha

Enver Andrius’ PovMikea asked for an emergency leave for the rest of the day because she got a call from the hospital where her mother was admitted.I don’t know the whole story since I didn’t pry on that and just let her leave early.But I didn’t expect that as soon as she left, Dashiel arrived at my office and he was getting on my nerves because he didn’t have a chance to see her.“Why, Eh?” he asked. He is holding his chest as if he was hurt. “Why did you let her leave without even waiting for me?”I shook my head.This one is dramatic.“You should at least tell me.”“She got a call from the hospital,” I said.That made him stop his drama and immediately sat in the vacant chair. “What happened?”“I don’t know the details but it looks like her mother got a heart attack,” I said. “It might be complicated because she was crying while asking for emergency leave. So I think she might also not be here until tomorrow.”“But you will need her for the rest of the week, right?” he said. “Sh

I didn’t know how things got into this kind of situation.Yes, I said that I want to help Mikea but why do they think of a way like this? I mean, can’t they think of any other way besides this one?“Are you sure about that, Mikea?” I asked.Her boss gave his permission so she can take an indefinite leave but there are some conditions that she needs to settle. That is why she came here to my house to tell me all about it.Her boss also visited her mother yesterday but we never had a chance to meet because I left the hospital early because of Millie.“That is what my boss said,” she said. “I need to find someone who will replace me temporarily as his secretary if I want to take a leave for as long as I need without giving up my job.”I pointed at myself. “And you choose me?”She immediately nodded.Just like what they talked about, she can take an indefinite leave and she can go back to her job in the same position as long as she can find someone who can fill her job while she is gone.

I felt nervous as soon as we entered the building where the Raiden Car Shop was located. And it looks like Mikea noticed that which is why she decided to roam around the building before we went straight to her boss’ office.And to be honest, the amusement that I am feeling while learning about the whole company is overwhelming my nervousness.I just learned that this company is giving full benefits to its employees, especially when it comes to health benefits. They also have entertainment facilities that only the employee can use, but of course, only when they are off duty.Aside from that, they are giving free meals, from breakfast up to midnight snacks to everyone which only a few companies have implemented. And the salary is great.That is why I am not surprised to know that there are a lot of people who want to be part of this great company.Even those people that were assigned to the production area also have the privilege to use the facility in the building.“This place is such

After some time explaining everything about me to her boss, Mikea immediately said goodbye because she needs to pick up Millie and go to the hospital before lunchtime.And it has already been two hours since then but until now, we still haven’t said a word to each other.Well, on my side, I don’t know what I am going to say. And I am afraid that if I just say anything, I might spill something that could help him learn about Millie.And I don’t like that thought.It is not that I don’t want him to be part of Millie’s life. He still has that right because he is the father no matter what I do. But I want to make sure that Millie will not get hurt if they learn everything about each other.That is the only thing that I don’t want to happen. Seeing Millie getting hurt will surely shatter every piece of my heart. She is my lovely daughter and the only person that gives meaning to my life when I was being challenged by my fate.To be honest, I wanted to back out of this agreement. I am not s

“So, you need some information about Lancelot,” Castiel said while she was searching for something in her things. “I didn’t know that Enver became that greedy. He knows how strict the process is to become one of the dealers who wants to sell Anox’s Car.”“That is also what I know,” I said. “And I don’t know how he managed to get a personal meeting appointment with the owner of the Anox.”“I think Dashiel helped him with that.”I frowned. “Dashiel? Are you talking about Dashiel the Playboy?”She nodded. “When Enver cast aside all of his family’s company and decided to start his own, Dashiel was the only friend that stayed by his side and supported him,” she explained. “He even invested in his company to make sure that it could stand on its own even though his father tried to intercept its growth.”“Really?”She nodded again. “So, you could say that even though Dash is a playboy and a happy-go-lucky bastard, he is still the best friend that Enver could ever ask for.”“Ahm…” I scratched

“Milan!” Dashiel came to me and hugged me tight. “I can’t believe that I will be able to see you here!”I smiled slightly but to be honest, I am uncomfortable in this situation.I am not close to any friends of Enver when we are still together. I socialized with them when they visited our house but other than that, we never had a chance to bond.But this man is the kind of person who will act as if we are close even though we are not. And he tends to hug me whenever we meet.“It has been a long time, huh,” He let go of the hug. “The last time I heard about you is that you left Enver.”“Yeah,” I answered. “Have a seat.” It looks like he will be staying here and wants to talk to me about everything so I will just let him ask anything he wants. “Do you have someone with you?”He shook his head and sat in the vacant chair in front of me. “I am alone today.”“Oh, great.” I gave the tablet to him. “It looks like we will be staying here for a long time so order some for you. My treat.”Well,

While enjoying the dessert with Dashiel, I decided to order the foods that I will be taking out for Castiel.I am sure that she was just eating a light snack because she doesn’t have time to buy her food since she has a lot of things to do.“You are still not full?” Dashiel asked after I placed some orders again. “You already eat a lot here.”I laughed. “That is not for me,” I said. “It is for Cas. She is the one who pointed this restaurant to me and she gave me the reservation that she has here since she can’t use it herself.”“Oh.” He nodded while staring at me. And that made me frown.The looks that he is giving me feel like it has some meaning. As if he realized something because of what I just said.“Dash?” I called him. “Is there something in my face?”He smiled and shook his head. “Nah. I just realized the real accomplice of fate.”It made me even more confused. “What do you mean?”He shocked his head again. “Nothing. I was just talking to myself.”“O-okay.” He has been weird s

“How long do we have to walk like this?” I asked Ferry and Castiel while guiding me as I walked with blindfolds in my eyes. They told me earlier that they had a surprise for me so I had to keep it like this until we arrived at our destination.I just got from Amethyst’s parents and I talked to them about what we can do to help her in facing her situation. They are also worried about the future of their daughter so they decided to cooperate with me after ensuring that the process will never hurt her.After we discussed that, my friends picked me up and drove away. Before we could even arrive at our destination, they put this blindfold on me.“We are getting close so please relax there,” Ferry said.“But we have been like this for hours,” I complained. “Why did you even think of giving a sudden surprise?”“It is not our idea,” Castiel said. “Though we chipped in some ideas we were not the mastermind of this. It was your husband who proposed this surprise for you.”“I guess he took advan

I never really imagined that this kind of thing would happen right in front of my eyes. When I was here, together with Enver’s family. Having a nice and chill conversation with them, without pretending that they like me.For the first time, I feel like I am part of this family and they finally accepted me as their son’s wife.After we finished our dinner, we decided to continue our conversation in the living room. We took our drinks with us and I offered them to stay here for tonight because I know that they also want to catch up with Enver.Ferry went home a little while ago. Lainz didn't want her to stay late so he went here to pick her up. Castiel decided not to join us here to give us more time to be with each other and she went upstairs to sleep in one of the guest rooms I prepared for her.Enver and I were having a conversation with his siblings, while his parents were busy with Millie and they were unwrapping their gifts for her.“What?” Enver said to his siblings. “Enish divor
Second Time Around Chapter 75
I thought Enver would refuse to have a talk with his family to settle their issue. But that didn’t happen and I couldn’t help but smile when I saw him guiding them in the garden where they were going to talk.Millie and I started preparing the dining table because we would eat our dinner after their conversation.“Eh? Seriously?” Ferry said after Castiel told her that my in-laws said sorry to me. “Are they even sincere?” She looked at me. “Not just some scheme because they are afraid to upset you because they know that you have the power to forbid them from approaching Millie again.”“That is the first thing that came to my mind earlier.” I put a plate full of kiwi with a side sauce of spicy ketchup in front of her. This is what she has been craving for ever since she got pregnant. “It feels like they were sincere. And Erwin vouch for that.”“Oh well,” Castiel said. “It doesn’t really matter now if they were sincere or not. They already experienced such shame because of their evil sch

“Are you even breathing?” Castiel whispered to me while we were looking at the car that stopped in front of our house. “You don’t have to be nervous, right? They were just your in-laws.”I glared at her. “I am not nervous.” I rolled my eyes. “I am just composing myself to avoid the awkwardness that we might feel later.” I turned my attention to the car when Enver opened it.He was the one who greeted our guest outside the gate. Ferry stayed inside while Castiel and I stood in front of the door, together with Millie who was holding my hand.Don Emil and Madame Venice came out of the car, with their usual posture. Well, I guess not a lot of people can change after a long time.They were carrying a lot of paper bags, marked with luxury brands, and I think it contained toys that they were going to give to Millie.She chuckled. “If you say so,” she said. “But I didn’t expect that they would also bring two of Enver’s siblings.” We both turned our eyes to the other car that just arrived and

I locked myself inside the bathroom while looking at the five pregnancy test kits that Castiel bought earlier.I already got its result and it all showed the same thing. And I am overwhelmed with the emotions that I am feeling right now.I do have a plan to conceive another child if Enver agrees because I really want Millie to have a sibling. But I didn’t expect that heaven would immediately answer my desire.Yes, I am pregnant. The five test kits in front of me showed positive signs.“Milan!” Ferry shouted outside the door. “Your husband is here. And your maids already told him that you have been locking yourself up inside there. So, don’t be shocked if he tries to destroy this door.”I grabbed two of the test kits and opened the door. At the same time, Enver also entered the room with concern in his eyes.“What is happening here?” he asked. He came to me but before he could hold me, I immediately showed him the result of the one test kit.He frowned as he looked at that but didn’t s

“Mommy!”I slowly opened my eyes and I saw Millie jumping on top of our bed while calling me.“Wake up, Mommy! It is already morning.” She stopped jumping when she saw that I was already awake and she sat beside me. “Good morning, my beautiful mommy.” She kissed my cheeks. “Daddy is preparing our breakfast.”I smiled and pulled her closer to me. “Let’s sleep some more, baby.” I kissed her neck and tickled her side which made her laugh.“Mom! Don’t tickle me!” She tried to get away from me but I hugged her tight so she couldn't do anything but laugh. “Mommy! Please stop!”“Hey…”I stopped tickling Millie and we both turned our heads at the door. We saw Enver entering the room with a tray full of food in his hand. We immediately got up and took the pillow out of his way.“Breakfast in bed for my lovely ladies.” He put the tray in bed and kissed Millie and my forehead. “Let’s eat here so you don’t have to get up.”“Well, I am still sleepy but this little lady woke me up to have breakfast
Second Time Around Chapter 71
Everyone was happy after our vacation. And I can see that it lifted everyone’s spirit as we came back to our work. It really helped us to refresh our mind and body so I was thinking of making it an annual tradition.Our workload is also back to normal. We are not on a hectic schedule anymore so it is also normal that everyone is relaxing at their station.Mikea was taking care of the fourth branch and other errands that needed to be done outside while I was taking care of the paperwork that Enver needed to sign.We decided to switch jobs so she could learn more things about the industry and everything she needed to learn about Raiden. She said that it would help her grow more and become a more reliable secretary.And it is not really a problem for me. Actually, it is more in favor of my side since if I file on leave, she can work even though she is alone. I don’t have to worry about her as she can handle her work as Enver’s secretary.“You are filling a leave?” Mikea frowned after see
Second Time Around Chapter 70
After a while, we decided to go back to Millie and our friends. I am already feeling alright so I think we can’t let this vacation go to waste just because of me.Millie immediately approached us as soon as she saw us. She ambushed us with a tight hug and I know that it is her way of saying that she is worried about me.So, I gave her a lot of kisses to let her know that I was okay.Enver lifted her and brought her to the seaside and played with the other kids and guys there. And I went to Ferry and Castiel who were only sitting in the sun lounge.“Did you tell him everything?” Ferry asked me.I sat beside them and shook my head. “I just told him the minor details.” I fixed my eyes on Enver and Millie while playing in the sea. “Not that I don’t want to tell him but my headache keeps attacking me whenever I dive too deep into my memories of that incident.” I sighed and turned my head to them. “And because of that, he stopped asking and didn’t force me to say anything else. So, I just s
Second Time Around Chapter 69
Enver lifted me and laid me down in our bed. He said that I should just rest and stopped me from going back downstairs since Millie would surely be okay together with Ferry and Castiel.I didn’t complain because I know that I really need some time to rest. I almost passed out earlier because of my headache and I can’t just ignore it.“Are you sure you are okay?” Enver asked after giving me a glass of water. “We can go to the resort’s infirmary.”I shook my head and drank the water before giving it back to him. “I just need a few minutes rest and I will be perfectly fine.”He sighed and sat beside me. “I am sorry for bringing it up. I didn’t expect that this would happen to you.”“It is okay,” I assure him. “You have the right to know about this because it is part of my past. I just can’t really tell it to you in detail because I keep getting a headache from trying to remember everything.”“Don’t worry about that, Mi.” He caressed my cheeks. “Just rest.”“If you want to know the detail
