Chapter 23.1

"Are you stupid? Why didn’t you say anything right away?!"

In one ear, out the other.

"Hey! Are you even listening to me?" Catelyn asked me. Even though I didn’t really understand anything she said, I still nodded. She’d keep talking no matter what I say anyway.

I just ignored her when she started ranting again. I was focused on eating the spicy chicken wings. After Christian, who’s Wyatt’s employee, brought the chicken wings yesterday, this is what I’ve been eating. I don’t know why, but every time I crave spicy chicken wings, I just find myself texting Wyatt for it.

I tried to buy some spicy chicken wings after work yesterday, but they didn’t taste good to me. The chicken wings Wyatt sends me taste so much better. So for the sake of these spicy chicken wings, I text Wyatt.

Maybe Catelyn sensed that I didn’t want to talk, so she went quiet. I took that as a cue to continue eating my spicy chicken wings in peace too.

After a minute, I finished the whole bucket of spicy ch

    Chapter 23.2I realized that someone as strong as Cate is also broken inside—but that doesn't mean they're weak. Even if they always show a strong facade, they're still human, and they have feelings too. They've gone through all that pain alone, and the fact that they chose to move forward is already a brave act. But sometimes, they also need someone to reassure them that everything’s going to be okay. That they don’t have to go through all of it alone—that they can lean on the people who truly love them.In every silent battle, all they need is someone to stand beside them. To hold their hand and make them feel important, too.Cate and I talked for a few more minutes before she went home, only after making sure I was feeling better. I just went to my room and fell asleep.I woke up feeling dizzy. When I opened my eyes, everything around me was completely dark. When I looked to my side, I saw a shadow looming over me. Since I had just woken up and had slept for quite a while, I couldn

    Chapter 24.1"Okay, don’t breathe for a second, alright?" I nodded at her. I followed what she said and held my breath as she zipped up the back of the dress I was trying on."Are you done yet?" I asked, still holding my breath. We’d been at this for a while now, still trying to zip up the floral dress she picked for me to try on.I had no work today, so I asked Cate to help me choose an outfit. Thankfully, she wasn’t busy and came over. I invited her beforehand and she said she’d try to come if she had time. She mentioned she wanted to go to Palawan too."Wait a sec!" I felt her grip tighten on my shoulder as she still struggled with the zipper."Maybe I should just wear something else?" I turned to look at her and saw her face drenched in sweat. She took a deep breath and finally gave up on the zipper."You’re right! This dress is stressing me out!"She flopped down on my bed, catching her breath like she’d just run a marathon.I left her on the bed and went to the bathroom to chan

    Chapter 24.2Am I really pregnant?Even though I was scared of the possibilities, I immediately called Catelyn to ask for help. “Cate…” “I’m coming over now.” I blinked rapidly as I stared at the two pregnancy tests placed on top of the sink. My hands trembled as I reached for the box and read the instructions, even though Catelyn had already explained it to me earlier. One red line. Negative. Two red lines. Positive. After we talked earlier, she volunteered to buy the tests and left me alone at the apartment. I was just staring blankly the whole time, lost in thought about all the possible outcomes if—if I'm really pregnant, just like what Catelyn suspected. “Loise?” I turned toward the bathroom door when Catelyn knocked from outside. After giving me the pregnancy tests earlier, I had told her to wait outside. “Uh…” I cleared my throat before answering, “W-what is it?” “You know what you’re supposed to do, right?” she asked nervously, clearly trying to stay strong f

    Chapter 25.1 I sat there blankly, waiting for my name to be called. Cate was beside me; the two of us were sitting in the waiting area outside an OB-GYN's office at the hospital where Daddy was also confined.Many nurses and patients passed in front of us, and the longer we waited, the more nervous I became.I looked to the side and saw many pregnant women waiting as well. Some had big bellies already, others weren’t visibly pregnant yet. Some were with their husbands, and a wave of envy washed over me seeing how happy they were with their partners.Would he be that happy too when he finds out we’re having a baby? Would he jump for joy? Cry? Would he come with me for check-ups? Shop for baby stuff with me? Will he be that affectionate towards me too? Will he be a caring soon-to-be father like these dads here? What kind of father will he be? Will he be like Daddy? Strict, too?I turned to Catelyn when she held my hand. She looked into my eyes and smiled.“It’s okay. I’m here,” she sai

    Chapter 25.2When we reached outside Dad's room, Catelyn stopped and looked at her wristwatch."It's almost lunch, what do you want to eat?""Anything nutritious, Cate," I replied as I turned the doorknob to open the door. She nodded and excused herself to leave.As soon as Catelyn left, I opened the door fully and was instantly stunned by what I saw.A familiar build of a man was sitting at the side of my Daddy’s hospital bed. I don’t think he noticed me because he kept talking to him."I didn’t expect that, really. I was planning it, but I didn’t expect it to come at a time like this," he said, taking a deep breath. There was a sting in my chest, but I ignored it and listened to whatever Wyatt had to say to Daddy. "I'll do everything I can to settle this, sir. I rea—" he stopped talking and turned toward me. I swallowed hard when our eyes met."What are you doing here?" I wanted to applaud myself for not stuttering even though my heart was pounding wildly. I tightened my grip on the

    Chapter 26.1"The fetus is healthy, so it's okay to travel via airplane. Just don't forget to take your vitamins, drink milk, and eat healthy foods," said the doctor.I nodded at her. "Okay, ma'am."She wrote something on a piece of paper stating that I was cleared to travel. No one at the office knows that I'm pregnant, and I don’t plan to tell them just yet. I went to the doctor to make sure the baby is safe and to confirm that it’s okay for a pregnant woman to travel.The most important person who should know about this is Wyatt. More than anyone, he has the right to be one of the first to hear this news. I also don’t want him to find out from someone else, but I’m just not ready to tell him right now. Maybe after I return from this event, I’ll tell him. I want to have time to think and relax first.After leaving the doctor's office, Catelyn and I immediately went back to the apartment so I could rest and start packing.

    Chapter 26.2"Christian? What are you doing here?" I looked behind him. He was the one I saw with Wyatt—the bodyguard in Singapore, where we first met."Fetching you, ma'am," he answered firmly. He stood composed in front of me. When I looked behind him again, that's when I noticed a black car parked in front of my apartment."Huh?" I asked in confusion and looked back at him. "Why?"Instead of answering my question, he said something else—something I didn't expect."Just give me your baggage, ma'am, and I'll send you to the airport safely."I didn’t ask Christian any more questions. It was probably Wyatt who ordered him to pick me up. He must’ve found out I was leaving today and sent Christian to get me.Christian carried my suitcase and placed it in the back of the car. I chose to sit in the front seat because I felt I might get dizzy in the back."How did he know?" I asked Christian once he was seated in the driver's seat.

I don't even know what's up with that guy! He just pops up out of nowhere. I thought he was still eating breakfast, but it turns out he left the restaurant quickly and dived into the sea. He even kissed me!"Going somewhere?"I turned to look at Wyatt and saw him drying his hair. Water was still dripping from his head down his body. He wasn’t wearing a single thing on his upper body, just a white towel wrapped around his waist."Yeah. We’re going to buy some souvenirs."I walked up to him and snatched the towel from his hand. I dried his hair myself. While I was doing that, his hands settled on my waist and he watched me wi

I opened my eyes and looked at him. He swallowed hard, making himself look even more pitiful."No. I'm gonna swim tomorrow, Wyatt. You can't leave a mark there," I said. He rolled his eyes at me, then straddled me."We can negotiate that then," he said with a grin. "But first, we have to get rid of this."He pulled up the hem of the dress I was wearing. I stared into his eyes, which were burning with desire as he did it. He threw my dress somewhere and I immediately felt the cold air against my bare skin, but it was soon replaced by warmth when I felt Wyatt’s fingers. They traveled from my feet up to my thighs until they stopped at the center of my body. I arched my back at his touch while he stared at me with darkened eyes.He bent down and whispered into my ear, "Still sleepy?"I could only moan in re

I got nervous and quickly fixed myself, so I wasn’t able to answer him because I was panicking."Are you okay? Eloise? Hey! Answer me," he said, knocking louder. After making sure I looked presentable, I opened the door and immediately saw his worried face."W-why?" I asked, pretending to be confused even though I was extremely nervous now."I'm so worried that you left earlier. Are you okay?" His voice still carried concern.I nodded. "Uh, yeah. I'm okay. I really just needed to pee earlier, that's why I left.""Okay... Do you want to eat somewhere?" he asked, catching me off guard."Huh? But there’s food inside," I replied. I immediately moved away from Wyatt when a few girls passed by and entered the restroom. I heard them whispering and I knew exactly who they were talking about.I looked at Wyatt and caught

He kissed my stomach before lying beside me. He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulled the comforter up to my chest, and drew me closer to him.He dropped small kisses from my shoulder blades up to my neck. He buried his face in the crook of my neck. I ran my fingers through his hair and closed my eyes.Am I too soft for giving in just because of a simple kiss and touch?I woke up to find Wyatt no longer beside me. I looked at my body and saw I was already wearing a large white t-shirt, most likely his. I glanced at the table and saw a note stuck to the lampshade. I took it and read:“I prepared you a lovely dress for tonight. See you later. ♥ —Wyatt”I smiled at the note he
