Five days passed, and we stayed in the hospital until Agatha finally recovered. Her disease disappeared, and her old vigor returned. We also stayed at Roswell's house while I was still looking for a place to move. Roswell offered me to stay in his house because no one would use it when he was in his hometown. I said that I would only agree to his offer as long as he also agreed that I would pay him monthly. He didn't say anything about that, and we'll just talk about it in the next few days. I have already taken my flight because I cannot be absent again. I explained the situation to Agatha, even though she really wanted us to go to Disneyland. "Kali! You're not telling me that you already have a boyfriend. That's why you don't want to come to our nights out, huh? Claire said to me with a suspicious voice. We're at the airport now, and I'm just on my way home. Just like before, Agatha was left with Eunice again. While Roswell went home to his hometown. He also left some of his bod
"Pack all your things that you need to bring. We will leave by ten p.m." Roswell told me when we got to his house.I looked at him with a frown. I removed the scarf I was wearing and sat on the sofa tiredly. A lot happened today, and I have no intention of having joke time with him.I still have a flight tomorrow, so I don't believe him. I just sighed and made Roswell suffer.He laughed there, and I ignored him to look at Agatha, who was quietly playing on her iPad. She looked sleepy, so she didn't bother to ask about Roswell, saying we were leaving today for Disneyland."Come on, Kali. We'll go to the airport later," he said.I turned to him again and motioned for him to be quiet because Agatha might hear what he was saying.I got up from my seat to go to Roswell. I pulled him away from there so we could talk better."Stop being naughty, Roswell. When Agatha believes, it's up to you to explain to her," I told him.It's a good thing that I'm getting comfortable with Roswell. It's like
I didn't sleep the entire flight because I made the most of Roswell's private jet tour. We also arrived in Japan very quickly, and I was surprised when someone booked a hotel for us there.It's still winter in Japan; that's why our outfit is winter. Agatha couldn't hide the joy on her face when she saw that it was snowing earlier at the airport. I told her that she would see more snow.I couldn't keep up with Agatha's energy because she slept the whole flight; that's why when we were at the hotel, she was very hyper. We stayed in the big suite today, and it was no problem for me because there are two rooms there."You want us to get room service so we don't have to go down?" Roswell asked me.He must have noticed that I was sleepy because I hadn't slept much. It's only three in the morning, and we can really rest first."No, it's okay. Let's just go down so we can enjoy our stay here more," I answered him.I enjoy room service sometimes, but I think it's better to eat at the buffet be
I stood up from my seat to greet Roswell's sister. The earlier smile on his lips gradually disappeared when he saw me."Vera, this is Kalilah. Kali, this is Vera, my sister," Roswell introduced.I smiled and slightly nodded to his sister."Nice meeting you, Ma'am Vera," I greeted her, then extended my hand.She looked at my hand as if she were thinking twice about whether to accept it or not. I saw Roswell slightly pushing her, and then she tried to smile at me."Miss Vera, not Ma'am. The word Ma'am is old," she said, then finally accepted my hand.She shook hands with me quickly, then she looked down at Agatha, who was quietly eating there."And this is Agatha, Kali's daughter," Roswell continued.I looked at the reaction of Roswell's sister. I saw the change in expression on her face. It was as if she was sad and was hiding a strong emotion while looking at Agatha."She's five years old," added Roswell.I could see how Roswell's sister was having a hard time swallowing, so even thou
I didn't sleep right away that night since Roswell left. I don't know for myself, but it seems like I'm slowly getting used to being with him. I know it won't take long for him to be with Vera, but there's a part of me that wants him to come home to me and Agatha immediately."My gosh, Kali, you shouldn't be feeling this way!" I said to myself.I sighed and sat on the sofa. I've cleaned up our mess there, so it's nice to see it again. I sat there for a moment and thought again until I remembered Roswell kissing me earlier. I touched my lips again, and I could almost feel my cheeks heat up.It was hard for me to sleep that night, so I just watched TV, and sometimes I looked at Agatha sleeping in the room. I don't even know how I fell asleep thinking so much until I woke up with the TV still on.I didn't realize that I had fallen asleep on the sofa, so I got up and turned off the TV. I looked at the clock and saw that it was four o'clock, which is why I frowned and looked to see if Rosw
"So, does anyone know where her father is?" Vera asked me.My heart almost skipped a beat when I heard that from her. I looked at Agatha, who was busy watching on her iPad, before I turned back to Vera. I quickly shook my head at her, and she immediately frowned."M-Maybe we can talk about that when Agatha is not around." I answered her while stuttering.He slightly raised his eyebrows at me before finally nodding. He shrugged his shoulders, so I could almost breathe a sigh of relief."I'm sorry. I just want to know so I'm aware because you might be married to someone else and then you're going out with my brother," she said to me, then looked away.I nodded at her and smiled because I understood why she was asking."I'm not married to someone. I just got pregnant early, and the man who got me pregnant didn't hold me accountable," I explained to him."Oh, so you're unfortunate," she said, then laughed sarcastically."Vera!"I heard a cold baritone voice from Roswell. I didn't realize
It was so awkward when Roswell and I hugged. I can still feel my heart beating fast, which is why I almost took a deep breath."I saw a bottle of wine here. Do you want to have a drink so we can have a good sleep?" I asked him as I felt the nervousness in my chest.I didn't wait for him to answer, and I went straight to a drawer where I found some wine the day before."Sure, Kali. I'll join with you," he answered.I nodded and took the wine. I saw him take two wine glasses, so I left the kitchen first and went to the living room."I didn't know you were drinking too," I heard him say.I grinned and put the wine on the table. I went straight to the front of the TV and turned it on so we could hear some noise."Of course I do. Are you turned off because I drink?" I answered and asked him.I turned to face him and saw his raised eyebrows. He placed the two wine glasses on the table and took the wine to open it."Why would I be turned off? In fact, I am even more impressed with you," he a
I woke up because I felt the weight on my body. I could barely open my eyes properly because I felt so tired. I thought I was just dreaming, so I closed my eyes again, only to open them again when I remembered what happened.I turned to my side and saw Roswell beside me as he hugged me. He was still fast asleep, and even when I moved there, he still didn't wake up. My cheeks almost felt hot when I remembered what happened between us last night. I couldn't believe we did that, and I still can't believe he was sleeping next to me with his arms around me."Oh my gosh. What did I do?" I whispered to myself as I looked at Roswell.He was fast asleep, so I took advantage of that to stare at him. From his thick and neat eyebrows down to his closed eyes. You can also see how thick and long his eyelashes are. My gaze moved from his sharp nose down to his red lips.My lips lifted, and I raised one of my hands to touch his cheek. I feel the nervousness in my chest until my palm touches his cheek
"I don't want you to cry, Kali. I'll be okay. I promise," he said as he continued to wipe the tears from my cheeks."I-I'm just worried," I answered, then sobbed.He nodded at me."I know. That's why I had a hard time telling you because I didn't want you to worry," he told me."Are you crazy? You're important to me, Damian! That's why I'm really worried for you," I said to him, annoyed.He laughed a little and nodded again before hugging me again. I don't know how many minutes we cuddled there, and I have to admit that I will miss him when he leaves.We sat on the beach, watching the sunrise. We were quiet there, and no one spoke, so I took a deep breath and looked at him."Can't you extend your days here? At least two more days so I can prepare for your departure," I said to him, then I snorted.He laughed a little and shook his head, but immediately his face turned serious when he looked at me."I can't do that, Kali. My treatment is already scheduled," he answered.I held my breat
I was exhausted when I came back outside, as if nothing had happened. Roswell didn't follow me right away because I got out earlier than him. The boys and girls are together at a table, and it looks like the boys have already had a lot to drink. I also noticed that Vera joined in their drinking."Are you drinking with them, Vera?" I asked her, then I laughed a little."Yup! Perks of not being pregnant!" she replied, then laughed to tease.I was snotty because Eunice and I couldn't drink alcohol for a long time, but that wasn't a problem for me because I don't really like drinking alcohol."You should also get pregnant, Vera. When do you and Felix plan to have it?" Eunice asked.I grinned and sat in a chair while I started eating Roswell's cooked salmon. I looked at Vera and waited for her answer because, until now, I still didn't know what her plan was. "We didn't plan it. We're just waiting for it to be given to us," she answered, then shrugged her shoulders.I nodded because that w
Another week has passed, and we are still the same as before. Roswell is still elusive to us, and I notice that he avoids me.I was very happy when Vera, Felix, Eunice, and Phil visited us. They brought a lot of stuff and food, and I have to admit that I missed them. They were only there for three days, and tomorrow they will be going home. That's why we are having a barbecue outside."How are you doing here? Aren't you bored?" Eunice asked me.The boys were drinking and seemed to be enjoying themselves, not far from us. We girls were just sitting on the lounger while talking."Not really. I'm having fun with Roswell and Damian. They don't let me get bored here," I answered, then shrugged."Do you think they're okay now? Doesn't Damian like you?" Vera asked.I grinned and shrugged my shoulders."Gosh! The two of them are really best friends. They just always like the same girl. The same thing happened to them with Kylie," Vera continued to speak.I frowned and looked at her. I never h
I felt the wind whipping my whole body and let my long hair blow. I bent down and looked at my feet being hit by the waves of the sea. It was peaceful here, and I want to stay here for a long time, but I know that's not possible.A lot has happened in my life, and I can't put it all together. What's important to me now is that I know my son and I are safe. No one will do anything bad to us because Anthony is already in jail."Kali."I looked up when I heard Roswell's voice from behind me, so I turned to him. He was wearing a black t-shirt and gray sweat shorts. He was also wearing shades, and he removed them when I faced him."I ordered Manang and Kuya Lito to go grocery shopping at the supermarket. Do you want to buy something?" he asked me.Ever since he found out I was pregnant, he didn't agree that I shouldn't go with him for my safety. We're on an island now, and that's the place I've chosen to forget for a while while I'm still not giving birth. I just requested that he maybe ta
Damian and I just ran away from there, and I just followed him because I didn't know the way outside. He got in here, so I'm sure he knows how to get out too.I was gasping for breath while holding my stomach and almost trying to hold back when I heard a series of gunshots."Oh my gosh!" I said worriedly."I think they're here," Damian told me.I frowned and continued following him while he was busy looking around. I feel so scared, especially when the gunshots don't stop."What do you mean? Who are they?" I asked him curiously.He didn't speak and immediately pulled me away because I was surprised."Stop asking and keep your mouth close," he told me.I couldn't stop the pain because of him sticking to me, so I just kept quiet. He signaled to me not to make noise, and we walked slowly. Even though it was noisy outside because of the gunshots, I could still hear my heart pounding out of fear.I don't know to 'whom' he's referring, but I hope it's Roswell. I can't help but worry because
"You know? If you had just kept calling, we wouldn't have been here before!" I complained to Damian.Instead of being able to help me get out of here, he felt that Anthony would take him. I just lost hope of ever getting out of here!"Wow, Kali! Are we really going to blame each other now?" he asked sarcastically, which made me cringe.I didn't speak anymore because I was feeling tired. We weren't tied, but we were locked in there, so I approached the door to see if we could find a way to get out of there while Damian remained quietly sitting on the floor.I held my breath, and both of my palms fell when I realized that there was really no other way for us to get out of there. The door was locked from the outside, and the window was barred, so we couldn't get out."You're pregnant. Why didn't you tell us?" Damian asked from behind me.I sighed again and faced him before answering."What for? There's no need to let you know because I'm not part of your life anymore," I replied flatly t
Eunice and I were so happy that we hugged each other. I am happy for us because, even though we lost something, we were still given new blessings."Congratulations to the both of you, but Eunice, I still have something to discuss with you and your husband. I'll discuss the dos and don'ts," said Eunice's OB."Oh, alright, Doc!" Eunice said excitedly, then she looked at me.I smiled and nodded at them because the doctor had to explain that to them."Take your time. I'll just use the comfort room," I told them.Eunice immediately nodded to me, so I let them enter the room before I left there to go to the comfort room.I was wearing an oversized sweater and maternity leggings. When I wear that, my baby bump is not obvious. That's the first thing I wear when I go out because I'm afraid they'll find out I'm pregnant. I don't want my baby and I to be harmed.I quietly entered the comfort room. I was the only person there, and I changed because it was very quiet there.I went into a cubicle a
"Kali, it can't always be like this. Let's ask Roswell for help," Eunice told me.I looked up at her and quickly shook my head. I'm just lying in bed now, hugging Agatha's favorite stuffed toy. I didn't feel like getting up, and all I did was cry, especially when we got back to Manila.It's been five weeks since Agatha passed away, and I still can't accept it. Every night I sleep, it haunts me. I know Agatha doesn't deserve to be gone so early. I still have a lot of dreams for her. I still want to see how she will become a teenager and how she will introduce her boyfriend to me.After what happened, my mind and life were no longer peaceful. I always get death threats, and I know Anthony is behind it. I don't know what he can do by threatening me, but he doesn't really stop me.Since I got back to Manila, I haven't seen Roswell again. Beatrice was also imprisoned, and we fought hard against her. That's why I'm happy that I got justice for Agatha. Vera keeps calling me to ask how I am d
"Roswell, what?! Don't touch me!" I complained to him to get out of his embrace.He didn't speak, and he didn't remove his hug from me. That's why my tears flowed. This is all I need now—his hug! But I know this is wrong because he is already married."Can't you see? I'm not Kylie! I'm not your wife!" I told him one after the other, then I tried to push him away from me.I heard her sobbing as she hugged me. I can feel the weight he feels because of his crying."I-I know, and it hurts me so bad, Kali. I'm so sorry," he said while crying.I bit my lip and closed my eyes. I could barely speak because I was crying."Vera told me a long time ago that she discovered that you're not Kylie, but I didn't believe it because I thought she was just making a way to keep you from coming back into my life," he started telling the story."I believed you were Kylie because I had no other idea that she had a twin. I thought you'd lost your memory, so I was happy because the Kylie I met has changed. Yo
