"I'll leave you here for now, Agatha. Behave while I'm gone," I told Agatha.

We're at the restaurant now, and I'm going to leave her with Aunt Cindy because I'm taking care of some papers so I can enroll her in school. I can't take her with me because I have someone else to take care of her while I do something. Eunice is not also available because she is at work, so I will leave Agatha with my aunt Cindy first.

"Okay, Mom," she answered me in a small voice.

I smiled and lightly patted her head before I looked up at Auntie Cindy.

"Don't worry about her, Kali. She always behaves so much when you're not around," she told me.

I smiled again and nodded because I also knew my daughter. When I tell her to behave, she does; that's why I'm happy with her because she's obedient and knows how to understand.

"You take care of her first, Aunt Cindy. I'll be right back once I'm done," I said.

"No worry, Kali. Go ahead so you can finish what you have to do," Aunt Cindy answered me.

    "I'll take you home if that's okay with you," Roswell told me. We were able to tell Aunt Cindy that we were going home because it was late afternoon. She doesn't want to help me at the restaurant because they already have a lot of work there. She said that I should just spend my time with Agatha. "No, it's okay. It's still early. We'll just take a taxi," I answered him. I was nervous on the way out because we had to go through the dining room. I was still looking for Annie to ask if Anthony was still there, but I couldn't catch her. I was very grateful when we got out of the restaurant without seeing Anthony."Please, Kali," he pleaded. I was about to speak to say that I was not willing for him to take me and Agatha home again, but someone suddenly called me. "Kalilah!"When I realized who it was, my chest immediately heaved. What the hell?! I still thought he was gone! I panicked and looked at Agatha before Roswell. "A-Alright. You and Agatha get in the car first," I said to Ro

    I just laughed at the nervousness I felt, then shook my head at him. Men are really good with these words."Why are you laughing? I'm serious, Kali. Even if you ask Damian," he said."Damian? That arrogant friend of yours? No way! I will never talk to him again!" I immediately complained to him.I remembered the day they almost ran me over on the road!"Alright, but what I'm saying is true. I find you interesting. I've only just interacted with a girl like you," he said."Of course! Someone like me is rare!" I answered him arrogantly and with a high forehead.He laughed a little and nodded as if he agreed with what I said. He sat up and then turned to me."I like your personality, Kali. So even if you haven't given me a chance yet, I will still force myself on you. I'll court you, even your daughter Agatha," he spoke again.I snorted because his voice was really serious while saying that. I don't want to laugh again because he might think I don't know how to talk properly. Also, I have

    "He saw, Agatha?" Eunice asked me.Just last night, I called her to pick up Agatha from the apartment. Eunice really liked that because she said she missed my daughter, which is why she came here early.Agatha is still sleeping, and I am now cooking our breakfast. I even get a little nervous every time I remember that Roswell will pick me up here later. I have also told Eunice everything, from Anthony and I meeting again to Roswell pretending to be my husband."He only caught a glimpse, but he didn't see her for a long time," I answered."I can't believe it! Are you really that Roswell type? Is your hair as long as Rapunzel's?" she said, laughing.I was disgusted because I also told her what Roswell told me. I also need the opinion of others, especially when it comes from Eunice."Even I can't believe that he is willing to waste time for Agatha and me. He said that he's a businessman and he's not from here," I said one after the other.Eunice stood up from her seat, so I looked at her

    We ate there for a while when our meals were served. Roswell ordered a lot, and I don't think we will be able to finish it all. "Enjoy our food, Kali," he said. He brought other foods closer to me, so I just nodded to him and tasted the foods there one by one. "You mentioned that you are a businessman. So, what business do you have?" I started to ask him. He looked at me for a while and swallowed what he was eating before answering me."I have a lot of businesses, like a trucking business and a big farm in the province, and I can't list them because there are too many," he said with a laugh. "Oh, and I also own the Dragon Empire Builders company," he added. I almost choked on what I was eating because of the shock. I immediately drank water and tried to calm myself down. I don't know if I heard him right. He owns that company?! "Y-You are the owner of that famous company?" I asked him again and again to make sure. He laughed as he ate, then nodded and shrugged. I shook my head

    "So, how's the first date?" Eunice asked me when I got home.After I got home earlier, I found that she and Agatha were here too. My daughter's energy seems to have run out because she is fast asleep on the sofa."What first date are you talking about? That wasn't a date!" I disagreed with her question.I could see Eunice's scornful look at me, which is why I just shook my head at her. I just arranged the food I bought earlier for our dinner on the table."So, where did you go? Share what you accomplished today!" Eunice insisted.I know I can't escape her questions, and I always tell her stories, so that's fine."We had fine dining for lunch, then we just had coffee at Starbucks," I replied to her."Oh my gosh! You're fine dining and then you say it's not a date? Come on, Kali. You can't fool me!" she said one after the other to tease me.I got tired and sat there before speaking."Yeah, you can tell it's a date, but for me it's not. It was just a normal day to hang out with a friend,

    I asked Eunice to help me pack my things. I don't know if I made the right decision to stay at Roswell's house for the meantime, but I can't think of anything else. My mind is no longer functioning well because of Anthony's mess.I can't believe that he can still do this kind of thing! The thickness of his face disturbs my quiet life."How did he know your address?" Eunice asked me.I put Agatha's clothes in the suitcase first, and I'll just grab mine."He probably stalked me, so he found out where I was staying," I answered her.I'm very upset because I don't understand why we need to meet again, even though he has nothing good to do in my life."My gosh! Your ex is scary. He's like a psychopath who is obsessed with you," Eunice said, then winced.I held my breath because that's exactly the behavior Anthony was showing me."It looks like he doesn't have a plan to stop bothering you. It's a good thing Roswell is here," she added.I nodded because I really don't know what I would do wi

    The next day, I woke up in the morning. I slept very comfortably in Roswell's guest room, but I still woke up early. I was just able to look properly around the room. It's very spacious and doesn't have a lot of stuff in it. There is only one big cabinet there and one bathroom. I also just turned off the air conditioner because it was cold enough inside the room. I remained lying down, watching Agatha, who was still sound asleep. I can't help but feel sorry for her because she's going through something like this. We're moving house just because we're avoiding Anthony. I kept thinking twice about whether I should continue to let her study at the school itself or just homeschool her again. I stopped thinking about all of it when there was a knock on the bedroom door. I took a deep breath and immediately stood up to reveal who it was. I knew Roswell would be the only one to knock on our door at this time, and it still hadn't sunk in my mind that we were living in his house now. I took

    When Agatha got tired of swimming, she also stopped. She also fell asleep due to exhaustion. Even I felt tired because we went swimming very early that day.Roswell is busy with his work. I didn't want to bother him, even though I had a few more questions for him. I know he's not from here, but maybe he knows where Agatha and I can stay that's safe for both of us. Maybe I'll ask him that later, when he's not busy anymore.I went out into the big yard of Roswell's house because I was bored inside. I saw his bodyguards, who looked like they were having fun in a hut. They were laughing there; that's why I was curious about what they were doing, and that's why I approached them where they were.Even though I didn't get all the way close, they straightened up immediately and stopped laughing. They've been playing cards there for some time. I kept smiling because that game is popular in the province."Ma'am, Kali! Do you need anything?" a man asked me.I couldn't speak immediately because I

    "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
