I don't know what exactly happened after I lost consciousness. When I woke up, the familiar scent of the hospital greeted me. The white ceiling. The nurse. And the private doctor that my Dad hired for me. Everyone was watching my every move and sometimes it made me feel awkward. Even my Dad cared for me so much that it confused me even more. Until, they spilled the reason why.
It's been a month since that day happened. I can still vividly remember what the doctor said that day. The words made me feel happy but at the same time it hurt. It sent me so many emotions that I can't contain them.
I am pregnant.
I'm pregnant with Atlas' child. The baby's grip was weak so we needed to be more careful. If Dad didn't move fast and brought me to the hospital immediatel
Atlas' intense gaze was piercing through me. I can feel it bore holes on my skin as he walks closer to the couch I'm sitting on. Nonetheless, I forced myself to go to him even if my knees were wobbling."In my office Mr. Ramirez," I uttered when I got in front of him.There was a lump in my throat but I managed not to stutter. I want him to see that I can face him without any confusion. Without any emotional attachment. That I can live without him. That I can face him in restraint."Follow me," I added.I quickly turned my back on him. I didn't wait for his reply. I abruptly continued my pace and walked straight to my office. I sighed in relief when I finally entered my office and sat on my swivel chair. I wai
It's been a week since Atlas visited my clinic. It's been a week since we talked about the annulment. It's been a week since he signed the annulment papers I gave. It's been a week of just staying inside my house and being lazy to go to work.Everything is tiring for me. My movements seemed to lack energy. It seemed like I am very tired of something I don't know. Seemed bored from all the things that were happening. Maybe, it is because I am pregnant. Or maybe, because I've been thinking too much about Atlas and the annulment case.Atlas occupied my system too much. Sometimes, I thought of going to him and talking about his accusations of me. The restraining order for him was my Dad's idea. I asked Dad and he confirmed it. He insisted that it was for my safety and I do understand.
I am losing my will. The unbearable pain is killing my being. The sound of my cries and pleading is nothing compared to the silent scar within me.Deep and lasting scar that will always be with me.My heart is hurting. My body is hurting.But, I want my baby to be fine. I want my child to be saved. Just my child, I don't care about me.I was losing consciousness because of what Trina was doing. But, the eagerness to save my child stood out more. I prayed and hoped that someone would find and help me. Even just now."Shit! Olive!"I heard Atlas scream. But, I am too tired to
I blew out a breath. I tried to keep myself composed from the anger that was slowly arising within me. I closed my eyes and leaned my back against the chair.My eyes opened when I heard the car's door open beside me. I turned my gaze there and saw Kraius looking at me intently. Concern was evident in his eyes."Are you sure you're gonna do this?" he asked.I nodded and looked at Kraius' eyes with the same intensity. I am very sure about the thing that I will do. I already prepared for this. I thought about it as well and it all ends here. In front of a big and wide building surrounded with tall concrete."Yes!" I said after a moment. I formed my hand into a fist and got out of the car. I was walking when I not
"I'm sorry about that, Kraius," I said in a small voice. "I just can't help it," I added."It's okay, Olive. I understand," he replied.I sighed and leaned my back on the seat. We're inside his car, but my thoughts were flying somewhere far. I lost control and I cried in front of Trina. Even if I was slapping and telling her things, I was crying. My feelings never changed. The bitter feeling never vanished inside of me. It's still the same. I think it even got worse.In the end, Kraius lifted me and took me out of the jail. He helped me to calm down. He reminded me about my baby's condition. Because if I was the only one there, I wouldn't know what happened. I lost my logic that I bursted out."I got carried away,"
I don't know what happened next. I just ended up inside Atlas' car as he drove away fast. I don't know where we're going. The only thing I know is, I'm determined to go with him whenever he would take me.I hugged myself when I felt the cold from the rain. I was soaking wet. Even if Atlas gave me his jacket, it didn't help. The coldness still seeped through my skin.Atlas was the same. He's wet from the rain. He was maneuvering the car with a serious expression. Sometimes, he'd throw worried glances at me. The kind of gaze that I couldn't get used to.I was surprised when the car stopped at the front of our house in South Ridge Village. His movements were stealthy as he opened the gate. I watched him in confusion but he didn't even spare me a glance. He walked inside our bac
I woke up the next day feeling heavy. When I opened my eyes, the familiar white ceiling greeted me. I am in my room and I am naked. My body was wrapped in a comforter. When I turned to my side, I didn't see Atlas. He wasn't inside the room when I roamed around.I sighed and touched my belly. I remembered what happened to Atlas and I last night. My screams and my moans. His embrace and his possessiveness to claim me. Everything seemed surreal. I still couldn't believe it. Everything seemed so fast.I sighed again and shrugged the thought off. I tried to stand up to wear my clothes when Atlas entered the room. My eyes was stuck on him. To his handsome face and to his glorious body."Ahemm!"I blinked a few
They said the best healing starts from yourself. Start from accepting your flaws. From reflecting the things that you've done in the past. And from loving and caring for yourself, alone. A new start for myself."But, Dad! You said that you will go with me to the hospital," I said, problematic."I'm sorry, Hija. We have an emergency at the Senate, so I didn't have the time to inform you. But, I promise next time."I heard him sigh. I nodded although he couldn't see me. "Okay. I'm sorry, Dad. I know you're busy and I am still disturbing you. I'll just go alone," I said."No! baby, Atlas will come with yo--""What?!" I immediately complained. When I real
