Chapter 3
Aurora Emily Estrella P.O.V
"What is the meaning of this, Aurora?!" I was surprised by what appeared to me when I entered the house. I almost ran out of blood when I saw what Mommy was holding. I just cursed inside. At this time I couldn't even move from where I was standing. "Answer me, Aurora! Are you pregnant?!" Yes, she was seen holding the pregnancy test I used last month. I can't blame it on one of my friends because she's not stupid enough to believe that would be my reason, after all, they're all lawyers here.
"I'm sorry, Mom." That was my only answer and my tears began to flow. I just bowed down because I was ashamed for them to see me cry. I don't seem to have anything to show them anymore.
I heard how my Mother walked towards me and I did not expect to receive a couple of slaps from her. She wasn't even satisfied and she slapped me again. I didn't do anything anymore because I know that it was all my fault, I will accept all her anger towards me.
"You are such a disgrace in this family! You gave us nothing else but shame!"
"Mom, it's okay." Ate Amber suddenly hugged me. That's when I felt the weakness of my legs, fortunately Ate was there, she was the one supporting me.
"No! Your sister is a flirt! Tell me, who is the father of that child? Who?!" I just hugged my sister so tightly, I just shook my head and hugged my her even tighter.
"Mom, please, calm down."
"Who is the father, Aurora?" Daddy asked modestly, which scared me even more because I knew he was angry with that voice of his. The tone of his voice was very cold. I'm afraid to say that Reagan is the father because like I said, they consider the Velasco family to be enemies, so I don't really know what to do anymore.
"Are you going to answer or do you want me to send someone just to find the one who got you pregnant?"
"Dad, not anymore."
"Tell me who got you pregnant!"
"It's Reagan." I answered then closed my eyes tightly. Tonight is really the end of me.
"Reagan Velasco? Seriously?" Kuya Ivan, who had been silent and watching the drama happening in this family, asked with a smile. I didn't even answer because I know that they knew about his family.
"You're really stupid! You're going to choose the name of someone who will cause you misfortune, another Velasco! You don't really think, you're really a disgrace to this family! I can't accept that child! Abort that, because I don't want that to grow up with this family!"
"Ma! Why abort?! It's not right to do that!"
"And what Amber? Raise that unfortunate child in this household?! It would be good if you two were married, maybe I would accept that! But this one is really stupid, you really fit for that one Velasco what? Both stupid! Both have no brains!"
I didn't really do anything but cry and cry. I really expected that Mommy would react like this and I really expected that she would tell me to abort this child but I am happy because I have Ate Amber by my side.
"No Ma, maybe that Velasco is responsible for him. Right, Aurora?" I couldn't answer anymore because Mama cut me off so I just bowed down.
"What else do you expect from a Velasco, Amber? Of course that's not a responsibility because he's an Estrella! I don't want him to see what you look like in this house, you understand me? If you still want to stay in this house, you should abort the that child because I will never accept that in this family. That's why, you go to the Velasco family, you're better suited to that family. Both are stupid and brainless. There's nothing else to do but to be stupid in this society." That was the last thing she said then she turned her back on us, Daddy just stared at me. Kuya Ivan and I just stared at him as if he was making me look like a real disgrace to the world. this family before he turned and left.
"Sister, I don't know what to do. Please, help me." I am begging my sister. She hugged me tightly and rubbed my back. But my tears really couldn't stop. Even I was getting tired but they seemed to tirelessly drip.
"Don't worry, okay? I'm just here, Mommy will calm down. For now, just stay at my Condo and tell me everything that happened, okay?" I nodded at her then forced myself to stay. "Stop crying, that's bad for you and your baby. I still can't believe you're carrying something now."\
"I'm sorry, Sister."
"What's wrong with you, you don't have anything to apologize for, okay? Let's just leave Mommy alone, that will calm down. And don't ever try to abort that child, you understand me? I'll kill you myself. " I laughed softly at what she said.
"I never thought of doing that Sister. I can't fight my conscience." I answered then smiled at her.
"It's good, it's good and you're still in the right frame of mind. For now, you need to rest. Have you had a checkup? Have you seen a doctor yet?" I shook my head at her question. She tweaked me but only weakly.
"Get some rest, let's move to my condo tomorrow. Then we'll get you check up."
"Thank you so much, Sister."
"Don't mention it."
I somehow calmed down when they all left, I didn't know what I was going to do before, but I knew that maybe this would be the end of my life here in this house, maybe this child was my escape to get out of the house, I am really thankful that I have a sister to help me.

Chapter 4Aurora Emily Estrella P.O.V "What does she want from me, Sister?" I sighed and sat down on the couch.I think I've been staying here at my sister Ate Amber's condo for more than a month, since my Mother had an argument between the two of us and when she kicked me out of her house, Ate Amber continued to let me stay at her condo, since then I've been staying here and never come out.I am very grateful to Ate Amber because she did not abandon me and she really took care of me and sometimes understood because of my changing new behavior, sometimes I don't really know what is happening to me anymore, I don't even understand anymore, I must be going crazy that I really am in what happens to me."I don't know either, Aurora. She just told me to take you there, maybe she's up to something with you and your baby, so I'll take you there." I was tormented by what he said.This is it, Ate just came home today and this is what she told me, Mama called her and wanted to see me so she is
Chapter 5Aurora Emily Estrella P.O.V "You can't do this to me, Mom!" My mother sneered at me."Why not, Aurora?" I laughed at this question, knowing that it was actually tinged with sarcasm. "In fact, your father and I have already talked to your future husband and he agreed and we mentioned to him the child you are carrying and do you know what he said? He is ready to catch that child, who are you not to agree? Do you think that Reagan is responsible for you?”I just looked away from her, I want to cry now but I'm just trying to stop myself from crying."Ma, why do you decide such things right away.""Don't worry about it, Amber. And one more thing, it's the same for your sister, I'm thinking about her too, do you think she can raise that child properly by herself? No one knows that in her life, she didn't do anything other than make your father and I hurt, how else can you raise a child, right?""But it's still not right for you to decide about such things, Ma! I'm talking about
Aurelia P.O.V"Ma'am, your mommy is calling you to her office." I looked at one of the maids of this house.I just nodded to her and didn't ask why my mother was calling me, I already know the reason why, it looks like she saw my report card and I'm going to hear a scary sermon as soon as I enter in his office.I just took a breath before standing up, while walking to mommy's office I was telling myself not to take too much of what she had to say, that I should get used to it because in the 22 years I've been living in this world, I don't have anything else heard more if not the hurtful words.But I also think that it's not my fault that they brought me back to life, I also ask myself if I deserve what the people around me make me feel, but I also think that I am grateful to them because somehow they were able to clothe me and feed me.I know it's a mistake, but why do I have to feel that every day, I can't take it like a stone and not be hurt by what they make me feel, even if it's e
Aurelia P.O.V"Hi Ms. Estrella.” I looked at Vidia who had just arrived. I want to roll my eyes when she sit in front of me. I'm currently eating alone here at the University's cafeteria, I wanted to go out for lunch but I'm too lazy because my break is quick and I have a next class."I'm eating Vidia, my world will be at peace if you don't bother me anymore.""It seems inevitable that I won't bother you." She grinned at me then stared at what I was eating before continuing what she was going to say. "How did your mom react to your grades? Did they have fun?” She asked sarcastically before laughing, the laugh of a plastic person. I just wanted to roll my eyes again but I just didn't do it and continued my food and just ignored him.She is Vidia, she has other henchmen with her, but I don't know why she is not tailed now. She is one of my block mates and, just starting my college, her group used to bother me, until now, I just got used to it, it's better here, I'm getting used to it, m
Aurelia P.O.VI held my breath again when I saw my poor grade on my tablet, we had a quiz with one of our terror professors earlier, it's a surprise quiz that's why I was really nervous, I did advance reading last night for our subjects today but it didn't seem to help because of my grade today, It will definitely upset Mommy because of this grade.I looked around the entire cafeteria, there didn't seem to be any empty seats because today was also lunch break because my class ended a little late, not only because our good professor didn't give a quiz, she's not contented with her exam-like quiz so we also did a recitation earlier, it's a good thing my name wasn't called because if it had been, it might have been the end of me.Every day I really feel like it's the end of me because I'm not really happy with this course. The study I'm doing is forced.I was about to turn around and thought about not eating anymore but a familiar voice called my name. I looked for it and saw Maggie's w
Aurelia P.O.VBecause the president of our room messaged that our next professor will not be attending, Maggie and I decided to leave the University to go to a coffee shop. I just agreed because we had more than two hours of free time, and there was nothing we could do inside the university."Hay, it's a good thing that she didn't attend, I even heard from another section that they had recitation at their last meeting. There are professors who are really annoying, they want to see us go crazy with what they do." I laughed at what she said."It's like that, just like what happened earlier." I said, we just laughed together again, both of us couldn't get over what happened because we both had really bad grades."By the way, my oldest brother's birthday is on Saturday, are you available that day?" My eyes widened at her question."Are you going to invite me?" I asked her in surprise, she frowned at my reaction so she flicked my forehead. I got away from her because of that."What are you
Aurelia P.O.V "Oh? Party? Or maybe you just want to flirt with your man, Aurelia?” My eyes widened because of what Mommy said."No. My friend's sister is having a party and I was only invited, and one more thing, I don't have a boyfriend." When I explained, I just bowed down, Lola gave me a bad look while Auntie Amber just smiled at me and kept nodding her head.We are now in the living room and we just finished eating, I remembered what Maggie said it was her brother's birthday so I told it to Mommy but this is what she will tell me.I also held my breath when I saw that Mommy roller her eyes on me. I wish I didn't just say it and just attend the party without telling her after all they don't even care if I go somewhere else, right?"What are you doing Aurora, why are you telling your daughter like that, Aurelia just wants to have fun, she also needs that because she has nothing else to do but study. Let the child have fun no matter what.” Auntie Amber defended me.Auntie and I met
Aurelia P.O.V “Whre are you already, Aurelia?”Maggie has been texting me for a while now, I can't even be bothered because we've been on my way for a while now. I just said we're close. Because today is what she says is her brother's birthday. I also get ready early so that somehow I wouldn't be late for where I was going.The only problem I really have is this driver, I waited for him because he said he drove Grandma on her way earlier, I was wondering because Grandma had her own driver, there was no one else to driver me me earlier so I really waited for him to arrive.Maggie even offered me that their driver will pick me up but I refused because Mommy might scold me, because what she always wants is for my driver to deliver and pick me up no matter where I am go That's what we both agreed on. I can't say no because I have no choice but to follow her.We've been on the road for more than an hour, I don't really know if Maggie's house is really far from us or if my driver is just r
Aurelia P.O.VI frowned when the rain suddenly poured heavily. I think it was less than ten minutes when we started traveling and then it was like this and the rain caught up with us. I didn't expect it to rain either because the weather seemed to be nice all day, it wasn't overcast earlier either so it was surprising that the rain suddenly came down hard."Where are we going Gilbert?" I asked him a little annoyed when I noticed that he turned to a different road, I really noticed because I have never experienced going through the one he turned now."The rain is so heavy that it looks like there will be flooding where we are passing, we will definitely have traffic there." He's making excuses now. I got tired and just leaned back in my seat.I can't do anything either because he's the one driving and not me. If only I knew how to drive and if they would let me, I wouldn't even need to have a driver.I held my breath as I remembered my old driver. Even in his old age, he served me wel
Aurelia P.O.V I woke up early and got ready to go to University. I was not aware of the consequences of me leaving early without a driver to deliver me.I'm still really upset about what happened when I got home, I really thought that I shouldn't think about anything they say to me because from the beginning, what they say to me is not nice and they never take my side.The very next day after my driver was so bad on me, I didn't come out of my room and I stayed in my room all day even though they were all knocking on my room, I just wanted to make it worse because they seemed to be concerned but the it's true they just wanted to lecture me, I didn't shake anyone, it's a good thing Auntie Amber wasn't there because if she had, I'd definitely open the door for her.Fortunately, I had stocks of food and water in my room, so I didn't have a problem with being cooped up all day.Even though they are threatening me, I still ignore it, I just think at those times that they will do what they
Aurelia P.O.V"Why did your driver take so long? You've been waiting for a while." I looked at Maggie's side.We are currently here on the veranda of Maggie's room. I looked at my phone again, I looked to see if my driver had a text or a call. I've been waiting for my driver for over an hour.I've been calling him for a while but he doesn't answer me, I also call Mommy but she doesn't answer. Maggie has been saying that she will send me, but I don't want to because Grandma might get really angry. It's such a small thing but if they get angry it seems like there is no tomorrow."He still hasn't texted or called, Maggie, it's already late. When I come home late, Mommy will scold me, it's not my fault why that driver always makes me wait." I said angrily to Maggie. She also just shook her head at what I said."I'll just drop you off, I'll go with you too. I'll also talk to your mom so you don't get scolded, tell your mom what your driver is doing to you.""That won't do any good either b
Aurelia P.O.V"People are getting wild." Maggie said laughing when we went to their pool side. I just shook my head as I scan my eyes around.Most of them are unfamiliar faces to me, Maggie also mentioned that most of them are just studying at our University, she just laughed at me because how could I not be familiar with these people. I just shrugged my shoulders and thought that it was not really necessary to recognize them.But I know that most of them know me, because my family is also known, most of them also know the issue of our family. So they know me well as the mistake my Mother made.Maggie and I just sat at one of the tables there, we just watched the people with what they were doing. Most of them are making trouble and some are fighting in the swimming pool itself, some are even kissing live there while their friends are dancing. I just shook my head.There were others there who were drinking and it was obvious that others there were already drunk. It's like they're drunk
