“Mom, maybe someone will see us together,” Beatrix complained to her mother.“Don’t ask too many questions and be so nitpicky; come with us to the hospital right now!” She said with a gasp, and her eyes widened at her daughter.Beatrix just followed her mother. Clara got in the car first, and she sat next to her.Clara took a deep breath when suddenly the baby seemed to kick inside her belly. It seems that the baby feels what she feels now as its mother. Upon arriving at the hospital, Clara saw that Lita was talking to a doctor. She didn’t know what they were talking about. She hoped it was for her mother. She entered her mother’s room, and there was no one else there. She burst into tears again and caressed her mother’s cheek.“Daughter…”Clara looked at her mother in shock when she heard her voice. “Mother? It’s good, and you’re awake. I’m sorry if I only visited you now!” She said while caressing her mother’s cheek.“Daughter, take care of your child.” The lady smiled even though
Clara was weak and wanted to give up. But when she thinks of her mother, she also thinks that she has to fight. She has to live for her mother.In Clara’s mother’s room, the lady was trying to get up, but she couldn’t. Her chest is also tight, and she is almost catching up with her own breathing.“Aunty, don’t force it.” Tasya worriedly stopped the lady. She heard everything that happened earlier and felt sorry for the mother and daughter.“My dear, you seem to have mercy; help my daughter!”Tasya cried when she touched the cold palm of the lady. It was just a few minutes before her work time was over. But it seems that she cannot leave the lady now, and she is begging her.“You take this. Save my daughter and my grandchild. You should find that person so that she can help my daughter.”With a trembling hand, she took the piece of paper that the lady was holding, and it had something else on it. She immediately put it in her pocket, even though she could not see its contents.“Please
Tasya breathed a sigh of relief when the doctor said the baby was safe but was on oxygen. Clara remained asleep, and her condition became critical. Three hours later, Clara woke up. “Nurse, how is my baby?” Clara asked weakly.“Your baby is fine, but you two need to stay here for a few days.”Clara tearfully thanked the nurse again. She owes her and her baby’s lives to her.“Be strong, and I’ll help you as much as I can.” Tasya smiled at the girl.“How is my mother?” Her throat dried, and she tried to stop herself from crying.“I’m sorry, but your mother chose you whom I should help first. Don’t worry, and I’ll find out about her condition later.”Clara bit her lip hard to stop herself from sobbing. Painful parts of his body ache when he moves. “Please go and see my mom. I’m fine here.”Tasya was forced to leave the girl to visit her mother at another hospital. When Sunshine arrived at the hospital, Beatrix was being taken out of the emergency room. It was awake but slightly pale an
Lita angrily cursed the male nurse who brought Clara to the abandoned room when she was probably missing. She didn’t think that the girl would be able to run away when she was so weak earlier. “Mom, calm down. Even if she goes out to make trouble, she will have a hard time proving that she is the child’s mother. Also, she can’t think of owning the child because all she knows is that she is only a surrogate mother.” Lita blew air out of her mouth and nodded at her daughter. That’s right; another thing is that a woman is just poor. She will prioritize saving herself and may even think of staying away if she is afraid of her. When she did show up, she would make sure to silence her before she could sing. In the other hospital, Clara burst into tears when her mother was probably dead. She was very weak and seemed to have no strength left to continue her life. “They are animals! And heartless! How could they fool me despite what I did to their family?” Tasya rubbed the girl’s arm ou
After Dean brought Clara to Tasya’s house, he even helped her get inside the house.“Dean, thank you very much, and I got my son home!” Clara thanked her friend again. It’s been a month since she gave birth.Dean just nodded at the woman with a smile before peering at the sleeping child. Since he visited them at the hospital, he has only now seen the child’s face again. He was busy studying, especially because he was going to move to another country.“Is there a problem?” Clara asked the young man when she noticed that he was staring at her son.“Your son is so cute. He’s sure to make a lot of girls cry when he grows up,” he jokingly answered the girl. Clara smiled and held her daughter’s little finger. She suddenly wondered if the one she had now looked like her other child. Even though she is a surrogate mother, the child is like her own child, so she does not want it to end up with Beatrix. “Clara, don’t you really know the father of your child?” Dean asked his friend again while
Clara burst into tears after reading the first page of her mother’s diary. It states the sufferings of her will because she loved a man who didn’t love her back. At first, she felt sorry for her mother, but when she read the next page, she became nervous. “I was even more scared when my sister came home one night. She was carrying a child and had bruises on her face.” At that moment, Clara covered her mouth with her palm to prevent sobs from escaping her throat. She seemed suddenly afraid of what she would say next. Despite her fingers trembling, she was forced to open another page again. “I helped my sister change her life with the child I thought was her daughter.” She quickly wiped the tears from her eyes, which were almost blurry. She had to finish reading the diary. After reading the entire diary, she reluctantly let go of the small notebook. Crying, she picked up a family photo and knew it was her. She seems to want to laugh at her fate in life. The sister of her identifie
“Good afternoon. Do Mr. and Mrs. De La Fuente live here?” Clara politely asked the lady who opened the gate.As if Aunt Flor wasn’t on herself as she absentmindedly widened the door and let the guest in. She barely blinked as she stared at the woman. “Are you all right, Aunt? Aren’t you going to ask me who I am before letting me in?”Instead of answering, Aunt Flor shouted. “Sir Robin, your daughter is finally back!”Clara’s mouth agape as her eyes followed the lady who was running as she entered the big house. She didn’t know whether to step into the house or retreat. She was suddenly nervous, and a big dog might suddenly come out to meet her. She didn't even know who the lady called. Clara seems to have a phobia of rich people, so she is afraid to face the family. She thought that they might not accept her because she had gone when she was still young. Or maybe they will think badly of her because she suddenly showed up at their house. Her chest pounded even more when she heard th
“Are you sure you want to go back to the Philippines?” Daisy asked her daughter.“Yes, Mom. Now that I have proven that I am the true mother of the twins, I will take my child back!” The aura on Clara’s face grew stronger, and she tightened her grip on the suitcase she was preparing.Daisy sighed. She only recently found out that her daughter became a surrogate mother. She didn't think her daughter would have suffered anything worse if they hadn’t found her. She had doubts that her daughter was only a surrogate mother, so they had the child do a DNA test.“They’re animals; they cheated on me too much. I can’t allow her to have fun with Archer’s twin!”“Daughter, I won’t stop you from doing what you want to do, but you promise not to do anything against the law, and you will perish.”“Yes, Mom. I will remember all your instructions, and I thank you very much for your support!”Daisy hugged her daughter with a smile. She will go home first, and they will follow with her grandson. She wa
Ava felt her heart jump out of her chest when she saw Alexander’s handsome face. She can see his beautiful body frame from leaning on the door jamb. He was like an oppa model. When a sympathetic smile appeared on his lips, his appearance now made any girl’s underwear fall. The girls made even more noise and were thrilled.“Gosh, he’s so handsome! Do you know his name?” The girl asked her seatmate and almost screamed from so much joy.Ava was even more annoyed because of the mixture of impressions and praises she heard from her students to Alexander. When she looked at the door again, her eyes met the young man’s, and he even winked at her.“The question is, who is staring at an Adonis like him here in the classroom?” One of the girls also asked excitedly.Alexander quickly left his stand when the girl looked at him badly. She was probably angry because the women in the classroom are causing so much noise because of his presence.“Quiet!” Ava shouted at the students who were still maki
“Yes, ma’am. I’m holding him back, but he won’t listen.”Rosella sighed and worried about her godson. The guard knows him as the chairman’s son. And she worried that he might have read the headlines in their hometown. She quickly walked and looked for Ava. Because Alexander will not listen to her or even to his parents. But if Ava is the one to talk to him, there is a huge chance that he will listen to the girl.Ava stopped what she was doing when someone knocked. Her students aren’t there yet, and it’s still early. She just purposely hung around in her classroom.“Ava, call Alexander, and he might do something no good.”Ava nervously stood up and approached the lady. “What happened, ma’am?”“Alexander left the compound and must have read the news.”Ava cursed in her mind, and her nervousness doubled. The vice mayor is not an ordinary citizen whom Alexander might do something bad against, like what he did to those who bullied her. Another thing is that she doesn’t want Alexander to do
The teacher was surprised to see a student in the doorway and looked angry at them. The gay teacher was about to approach him, but their dean came.“Alexander, what are you doing here?” Rosella commented to her godson.The gay teacher was surprised, and their dean knew the young student.“Tell them that it’s not their job to talk about their colleagues behind their backs.”Rosella sighed, and she saw her godson angry because of a woman just now. She looked at the teachers inside the faculty, and she could see the wonder in their faces, and it might be because a student was only talking like that to her. “I’ll take care of this,” she said almost in a whisper to the young man.Alexander left without a word and walked straight out of the campus hot-headed. He did not attend to his next subject.“Ma’am, does that student have a problem?” The gay teacher asked their dean.“The gossip is enough. If I catch anyone of you talking about Ava, you will be suspended; do you all understand?”Those
Luisa grinned. “There’s no need to make an effort because your unique smell is wafting away,” Luisa said in a taunting way.“Alright, my unique smell is free, and since it’s free, then feel free to smell it as long as you want. But don’t blame me if you have an upset stomach. Too much sniffing is also bad for your health.” She laughed when the aura on Luisa’s face suddenly darkened. She was annoyed again when she was the one who had started to argue with her in the first place.“Bitch!” She hissed. If only the look could kill, Luisa was sure that Ava would fall to the ground lifeless.She had turned her back on Luisa, and she knew that she would have a heart attack soon if she was only sick. It was still early, so she went to the faculty first. She was also full because of Alexander. Upon entering, the people there were suddenly silent. It looks like she is the topic again, well, obviously because there are traces of guilt on their faces.“Hi, Ava, have you read the circulating blind
“Alexander, enough… uhmmmm!” She tries to stop the young man, but she is unable to push him away from her body. She admitted to herself that his searching kiss was addictive, and his hand caressing her thigh added to the sensation that envelopes her body. When he got tired of the girl’s lips, his kiss crawled down her neck. He knew he would be hanged for what he was doing, but he couldn’t stop himself. Ava is like a drug that made his addiction grow. And for Godsake, even his hands seem to have a mind of their own and know where to touch in the girl’s body. His satisfaction didn’t end there. He wants more; his hand is searching for something. She gasped as her chest heaved when she felt the young man’s hand enter her top clothes. She stopped his hand before it reached her breasts, but she lacked strength. The sensation nearly drowned her. “Shit, why do you still have your period until now?” Alexander complained as if frustrated while gently caressing the young woman’s healthy bre
“Alexander, don’t compare that child to all the girls that you have made your toy. Because even if she’s just a maid’s daughter, I value them so much, and I consider them part of our family!”Alexander smiled after remembering what his grandmother told him. She still didn’t believe what he answered to her, but she still gave him the information he asked for.“Do you see something funny in my face?”Alexander blinked. He didn’t realize that he was stunned while staring at the girl’s face. He continued chewing before answering her. “Why are you so beautiful, baby?”“Alexander, how many times should I have to remind you not to call me baby because I’m older than you?” She complained angrily to the young man. “Alright, then let’s get into the point; say yes so you can be my girlfriend and I can be your boyfriend before I change our endearment.”“What? Are you insane? Are you courting me for you to say that to me?” She glared at him. So, this is how Alexander thought of them? Alexander s
Ava angrily hit the young man on the arm with her hand when she recognized him. If she only had a heart disease, she might have been attacked because of frightening her.“Ouch, baby!” Alexander caressed his arm even though it didn’t hurt.“Moron! Why do you have to drag me here without a word?” She glared at the young man. The Jew just grinned at her. It’s so good to smack his face. But she immediately reprimanded herself, and something else came to her mind.“When I say come with me here, will you come willingly?” Alexander’s asked at the girl philosophically.Ava glared at the young man. It is obvious what her answer will be to his question. Of course, it’s a no. What will be the reason for her to come here and to the private office that only the chairman uses? Even if it is said that the chairman is his father, it is still embarrassing.It was his first time to enter that room, and she couldn’t stop her own eyes from wandering to the beautiful staff inside the office. She looked at
Miranda was once again impressed with Alexander when he perfected the exam. He’s not just handsome, but he’s also smart. Brix is not lagging behind either, but he has five mistakes. And her? Here she is; her score hangs in the balance like the rest of her classmates. It doesn’t matter; the important thing is that she still has something to be proud of, and that is the beauty of her face and body.“Girl, are you serious about Alexander being your birthday escort?” Julie asked in a whisper.“Yes, it’s easy to change the invitation.” She smiled and knew that her mother would give her everything she wanted because she was her only daughter. Her brothers also love her and are ready to fight when she is hurt.“The question is, will he agree?” Julie asked her friend teasingly.Miranda glared at her friend; they had free time, so they had time to chat. They went to the canteen and looked for Alexander, but they couldn’t find him.“Ms. Ava, a present has arrived for you, and it’s at the facult
After entering the classroom, Ava immediately looked around. The first person she saw was Brix. He seems to be calm now and not drawing attention to her. Good thing then; maybe he realized it because she slapped him yesterday.The next thing he looked for was Alexander. She frowned when she saw that the young man’s seat was empty. She looked at the others there, and the young man might have just moved seats. But she was just disappointed, and he wasn’t there. She looked at the clock hanging on the wall. The class will start in just three minutes. She didn’t want to spoil her day so much, so she unfolded the papers and turned on the laptop.“Am I late?” Alexander asked from the doorway, gasping for air.Ava suppressed the smile that wanted to appear on her lips when she saw Alexander. His hair was messy, obviously not combed, but she would admit it that he was still handsome despite his messy look. He looks like a bad boy, but it fits on him. “Next time you will enter earlier,” she sai
