**Eumerriah's Point of View**

I woke up with a headache. It felt like I had been sleeping for a very long time. I was about to get up when I realized I wasn’t in my own room. I was in a room with white surroundings and some apparatuses. I tried to lift my hand but felt it being held by someone, so I looked over. I felt a surge of joy when I saw his face.

“J-Jerome?” I whispered, touching his face with my left hand, even though I could barely reach. Despite everything I had learned, my feelings for him wouldn’t change that easily.

I felt him move, so I pretended to be asleep. I heard the chair move, indicating he had stood up, and his grip on my hand loosened. He yawned before I heard water being poured into a glass, so I couldn’t help but open my eyes and sit up. “I’m thirsty too,” I said.

“Oh? It’s good that you’re awake now. How are you feeling?” I saw Gabrielle’s face. My head spun as I looked around for Jerome. Where was Jerome? He was with me just a moment ago.

“Where’s Jerome?”

    **Eumerriah's Point of View**"Yumii!!" Gabrielle shouted as he approached me. I pretended to be weak to keep him from leaving. I didn't know why I did it, but I thought he might hurt Jerome if I let him out of the room."What's wrong? Are you dizzy? How are you feeling?" he asked rapidly, helping me sit on the sofa."Oh, water! I don't know who told them you were here. I think they had me followed. I can't understand what's going through their heads to do that. I'm more convinced they've been deceiving you for a long time. Did you see how concerned he was for Shaira earlier? Ugh, I hope they never have kids for what they've done!" I just watched while drinking water Manager Kim handed me. I wanted to join his rant, but I felt like I had no energy left."How are you? Are you okay now?" Gabrielle asked."Hey! Guy! Is what that woman said true? You planned all this because you've liked Yumi for a long time, huh? Let's clear this up!" Manager Kim asked, hands on his hips.Gabrielle took

    Eumerriah’s Point of ViewI spent three days in the hospital. They said there was no problem with the baby in my womb. Spotting is normal for pregnant women, especially in the first three to four months, especially if they are stressed.In those three days, none of my parents visited me. I know they have disowned me, but I didn’t expect them to completely ignore me. Jerome and Shaira haven’t returned since the first day. There were no articles about my stay in the hospital. I’m still a hot topic among people, especially the media, as many are still calling my manager for a statement. I’ve read many comments suggesting that this is just a marketing strategy to get people talking about me and Jerome. I wish that were the case so that I wouldn’t be struggling right now.I know I have enough savings to raise the child in my womb, but I’m not ready for this. I still need guidance from my own mother, but she’s no longer here; she was taken by the Lord long ago. My other mom, who has been wi

    R|18 Shaira’s Point of View“What do they know?” I snapped at Jerome. He had accompanied me home.“I don’t know. I didn’t understand him either earlier. I just went there because Gabrielle texted me,” he answered innocently. I was surprised why his brother texted him. “And why did he text you? Was this planned by both of you?” I couldn’t help but think about it, especially knowing Jerome's manipulative tendencies. I know he always wants to be ahead of everyone else.“No way! I wouldn’t side with my rival!” he defended. I know he hasn’t been on good terms with Gabrielle for a long time, even since they were kids.“Don’t think like that. You’re too stressed. Gabrielle texted me because he said you can’t see Yumi! He didn’t say why, but I’m sure they know something. That’s why I went immediately because I didn’t want anything to happen to our baby because of her; I might end up killing her,” Jerome added. I was touched by what he said. I felt like he truly loved us and our baby.“You sa

    **Gabrielle's Point of View**"What do you mean you don't know anything- Kuya, stop it! Okay, I won't say anything." I was covering Kate's mouth because she wouldn't stop gossiping about what she knew. I looked at Yumi, who was just laughing. Thankfully, she didn't understand what this girl was trying to say."What do you want to eat? Yumi, do you want anything?" I asked both of them. I needed to bribe Kate with food so she wouldn't spill any more secrets. "There's a place with my favorite fries, but I want them plain!" Kate replied. Wow! She doesn't even really like those; she's just copying. "Really, plain fries are your favorite too? Really?" Eumerriah asked excitedly. Kate happily nodded, even acting cute."And you, Yumi, what do you want?" I asked impatiently. Whenever Kate is with Yumi, they act like they've known each other forever. I always feel out of place. "Tsk! Grumpy!" Kate commented."Kate and I will share some crisscross cut fries." Of course, they had to specify the cu

    **Gabrielle’s Point of View**"Two orders to go!" I ordered what Kate and Yumi wanted. In my long reverie, I almost missed my turn."Flavor, ma'am?" the cashier asked me. "Plain only, thank you." I didn't mention the crisscross cuts because I had already pointed them out on the menu earlier.After a few moments, my order was handed to me. I quickly took it, eager to return, worried about what those two might be discussing. They never stop gossiping, especially if Yumi gets to talk to Mamala. One day wouldn't be enough for all the things they think of to talk about.Since we left the province, Kate has been calling and texting me constantly to bring Yumi back immediately. But something came up, and I couldn't take her home right away. This girl started to panic. She kept pestering me about Yumi, so I asked Mamala's permission to send her to the hospital here.I knew Yumi needed someone to talk to so she wouldn't overthink what she discovered. At first, she didn't believe what I told he

    "Let me do that." I quickly took the broom from Gabrielle. Even cleaning the room I sleep in, he does it. I know he knows I grew up in a wealthy family, but I’m not lazy; I also know how to do simple household chores."Don’t. Get ready because Kate will take you to Grandma. She wants to meet you." He shooed me away.I just pouted and followed. I had no choice but to obey him because I’m staying under his roof and he’s the one feeding me. Well, I have my savings, but for now, he doesn’t want me to use them. Since he got me pregnant, he said it’s his obligation to take care of me and the baby in my belly. I know it sounds like he’s a responsible man, but that’s not how I see it. I know he just felt forced to take responsibility because a child was conceived. If not for the baby, we probably wouldn’t even know each other now."Ate Yumiii!" Kate shouted. I knew she was downstairs because her voice was faint from up here. It’s very windy here."Is kuya Gabrielle coming with us?" Kate asked

    Eumerriah's Point of View"Hey! Yumii! Yumii!" Manager Kim called out, running after me while carrying two paper bags."What's the problem? Where are you rushing off to? Take these things I bought. I've been holding them for so long I can't feel my hands anymore!" I grabbed one of the paper bags and dropped it onto the sand. I did the same with the other one, seeing the shock on Manager Kim's face. "There, are you happy now? Pick them up and keep them away from me. I'm not going to eat any of that," I said to him like a child."Hey! Eumerriah! You're not a child anymore; you're going to be a mother. Stop acting like your mom and dad just scolded you! What's wrong?" I wiped my tears."It's Gabrielle! He made it seem like I did something terrible. He said I made him look irresponsible and useless!" I complained.Manager Kim walked away with hands on his hips, but I caught up to him. "No, don't mind him. He shouldn't be scolded. He has a high opinion of himself." I pulled him towards a co

    Gabrielle's Point of View"How is Dad?" I asked his assistant."He is fine. He just needs some rest. Because both you and your brother got involved in the trouble, he's very worried. We still can't contact your brother Jerome. It's good that you're not here so they can't blame you. I'll call again next time," Gerald, my dad's personal butler, replied.I don't know what's happening with our company, but one thing is for sure: they don't want me to marry the Ferrer's daughter. I can't understand why they insist that Jerome marry Eumerriah, even knowing what happened. They are looking for Jerome to court Eumerriah and bring her back to her parents. Dad and I don't get along, but I didn't expect him not to trust me in matters like this. I have Eumerriah; I can propose to her anytime. We already have a child, so I know she won't refuse me.I got up early and went to the market. I didn't want to wake up yet, but Yumi would be up soon, and I didn't want her to go hungry. I needed to buy fresh

    Eumerriah's Point of ViewFor so long, Gabrielle and I had been at odds. I couldn't understand why he needed to distance himself from us. All the truths had come out—their marriage to Kristine and how his life had unfolded with Paul. He regretted his choices, and even Paul seemed to notice his mistakes."You really don’t understand me," Gabrielle said, frustration lacing his voice."Then explain it to me!" I shot back, unable to hold back any longer."Okay, let me ask you this. Why did you choose to distance yourself and hide, huh? Fifteen years! Fifteen years I haven't seen or been with my child, and then I find out he's legally Shaira’s child! How do you explain that to me, huh?" he questioned, filled with anger and disappointment."Listen to me!" I said, barely able to contain the pain in my voice. "Shaira lost her child because of your marriage! What do you think I should do? Of course, I thought about our child's safety. If I hadn’t done that, we might not have a child anymore. S

    Eumerriah's Point of View“Where is he?” I asked Kate, my curiosity evident.“If you want to know, follow me,” she replied, getting into her car. I nodded, but instead of driving my own car, I hurried into the passenger seat of hers.She furrowed her brow and gave me a questioning look. “Why are you too lazy to drive?” she asked, a hint of irritation in her voice.“I just want to ride in the car of the girl who used to really like me,” I said, trying to make a joke to lighten the tension.“Tsk! If it weren’t for Kuya Gabrielle, I wouldn’t like you,” she retorted, but a playful smile was on her lips.“What do you mean?” I asked, a bit confused, but I knew she was hiding something.“Secret,” she replied, laughing as she drove.I looked out the window, but I couldn’t help smiling. I never thought that the cheerful little girl who used to cling to me, who liked me so much, would turn into a woman who was now even more assertive in front of me.Behind her teasing and boldness, I was please

    "Eumerriah!" Kate called out to me, her voice filled with concern.I turned to face her and saw the serious expression on her face."Do you still think about him?" she asked, her voice full of worry. "Do you ever wonder how he’s doing?"I stood silently, trying to block out the people around us. A heaviness settled over me. I thought of Gabrielle. Despite everything that happened, he still held a place in my heart, but I didn’t know how to face him now."What are you trying to say?" I asked, struggling to hide my emotions."I just wanted you to know," Kate began, her voice serious, "that even back then, he struggled with the thought of losing you like that. And now that you’ve suddenly come back, he feels like he failed you, like he didn’t even try to look for you."As I absorbed her words, it felt like a sharp pain erupted in my chest. I could feel Gabrielle’s anguish over the years I was gone, but I couldn’t ignore how he had avoided me and chosen someone else during those times.We

    "Another movie you slay!" Shaira greeted, hugging me tightly."My mom is really amazing," Justine complimented. He was now dressed like a young man, his hair neatly styled, and his suit covering his whole body. He looked at me with great admiration, as if he had learned all these things from me."You always look pretty, Mommy," said Dustine, who, despite being young, had simple words that could warm my heart. He smiled at me, his eyes full of happiness and love."Beautiful and endlessly talented," Jayson praised, standing beside me, his eyes full of respect.We had just finished the premiere night of one of our most successful movies with Jerome. The story was filled with emotion, and I never imagined it would turn out like this. After weeks of hard work and exhaustion, this moment brought joy and success to us.We were in the middle of guests, media, and fans who were all celebrating our achievement. Cameras kept flashing, capturing our photos, but my eyes wandered to the loved ones

    Eumerriah's Point of ViewFor six months, everything was in order. No fights, no drama, even though I worked closely with Jerome more often now."Is it still him?" Jerome asked."What’s it to you?" I replied, my tone sharp.It was as if he didn’t care about what happened in the past, like he wasn’t the man I once went crazy for."If you had just kept being crazy about me, maybe I could have learned to love you," I teased."Whatever you say," he responded, seemingly indifferent."You’ve become so tough now, like you weren’t once crazy over me," I pressed."It’s been 17 years, and still? Haven’t you moved on? You couldn’t even fight for my best friend, the first man you loved. So why would I expect you to fight for me, when you just used me?" His words stung."It wasn’t my fault my family couldn’t accept him.""It’s your fault you led him on and didn’t truly love him.""And what do you know about real love?""Well, what about you? What do you know? We’re not kids anymore. If you think y

    Eumerriah's Point of ViewThree months have passed since Gabrielle’s sudden disappearance, and no one has heard any news from him. Everyone is worried—even Kristine and Kimberly are confused about what’s happening. I don’t know how to tell them that even I have no idea where he is or when he’ll return.Despite everything, Shaira and I have slowly resumed our daily lives. I continue to work for our family, while Shaira stays home to handle the household chores and take care of Justine. The days have flowed smoothly, but the weight of unanswered questions remains ever-present."Has there still been no word from Gabrielle?" Shaira asked as she arranged Dustine's toys on the floor.I shook my head, feeling the sadness settle in my chest. "Even Kristine has been asking me. She said things are chaotic at their company because of his sudden disappearance. Some employees have also asked me if I know anything, but I have nothing to tell them."Shaira paused and sat down beside me. "Anyone woul

    Eumerriah's Point of ViewJustine has recovered from his illness, and despite everything that has happened, I am deeply grateful to Gabrielle. His support for us is something I will never forget. However, after our meeting and discovering that his close friend Paul is Kimberly’s real father, it was as if a heavy burden was lifted from him, but I still cannot fully explain what he's truly feeling.It's been two weeks since I learned the truth, but I haven't heard from Gabrielle since. He’s disappeared, and no matter what I do, I can’t find him. His absence feels like a new torment added to my trials.Amid all this, Jayson has been visiting our house more often. Justine refuses to be bathed by anyone else, so we chose not to hire a personal nurse. Sometimes, I see Jayson hiding his true emotions, trying to act like everything is normal, but I know it’s not easy for him.Because of what happened, I had to change my plans. I no longer accepted new jobs and instead started working from hom

    Gabrielle's Point of ViewI don’t know how I managed to leave everything behind. Sometimes, it feels like all of this is just a dream—the life I left, the family I destroyed. But this is the reality I created for myself, and with each passing day, it becomes clearer how big a mistake I made.Kristine, the woman I spent so many years with, the mother of my daughter, Kimberly. We built a family together, a family I once dreamed would be happy and whole until the end. But now, that’s gone. And it's my fault.It all started when Eumerriah came back into my life. I never expected to see her again, never thought I’d feel the emotions I had long buried. I thought everything between us was over. I thought I could forget her and move on with my life with Kristine and Kimberly. But when I saw Eumerriah, all those feelings suddenly came rushing back—feelings I never thought would resurface.That’s when my confusion began. I no longer knew what was real or what should be. I started looking for wa

    Serenity's Point of ViewI never expected Gabrielle to come back into my life. It’s been a long time since we last saw each other, and so much has happened between us. Yet now, it seems he’s slowly finding ways to reenter my life, even though we don’t share the same roof.It all started with small things. Sometimes, I’d suddenly receive a message from him. They were simple questions like, "How is Justine?" or "Don’t work too hard; you need rest, too." These messages were straightforward, but I couldn’t help but feel a strange warmth in my chest whenever I read them. I never expected to get such messages from Gabrielle, especially since we haven’t been together for a long time.Justine often asks about Gabrielle as well. I know the child struggles to understand our situation, so I just tell him, "He cares about you." But every time I say that, I feel a pang in my heart. Why does Gabrielle still care? What’s the reason?Whenever Gabrielle visits to see Justine, he always brings the chil
