STEVENI couldn’t control my anger. I wanted to ask her but when I saw her pale and crying earlier, I was taken aback. I can't even find the right words to say, dammit!Only to find out that she has a child. She has a child and—I-I fvcking don't know what to do. It hurts because I feel like she lied. She has a lot for secrets hiding from me. I felt betrayed.I wanted to know everything but I couldn’t force her if she’s not ready to tell everything to me.Fvck this! I didn't even know if she had a boyfriend or not.My plan is to take her away from her boyfriend if she has one, but the part about her having a child, I-I don't know what to think anymore. I’m hella confused.Who is the father of the child? Is it her boyfriend? Or her ex?Why didn't she tell me everything about her son? F*ck. Is it hard for her to tell me everything? Am I not important to her? Is she just playing with me? This is so gay but damn, it hurts so much."What's the matter bro?" Diego arrived with Akhael. They ar
"Who is this woman you are talking about?" Akhael asked curiously. Never in his life could he imagine that his friend would be like this."The most beautiful woman on Earth, her name is Ria." Steven replied drunkenly. "Even her name sounds beautiful, right?" He smiled at his friends."He's in deep trouble." Diego said to himself.'Ria? Her name is Ria? Hmm.. They have the same name of Rialyn.” Akhael said in his mind. He knew Rialyn because she’s his wife's best friend but Akhael didn’t know that the Ria he knew and the Ria that Steven meant were the same."So you're drinking because she has a boyfriend and she has a child?" Diego asked. Among their friends, Diego was the counselor, so Steven and the rest always approached him in times of trouble."I feel like, she's cheating on me. I don't know anymore.""Will you accept her even if she has a child?" Diego asked and Steven stopped for a moment.-----------STEVENIf I know from the very start that she has a child, will that change th
"Hon," I looked at the newcomer. If I'm not mistaken she's Agatha. Akhael's wife."Hello hon. Where's our daughter?" I heard Akhael ask his wife. Among all of us, Akhael was the first one who got married. And because I didn't go to their wedding, it was my first time to see her wife."She's with Angie. By the way, who are they?""Oh yes. By the way, they are my friends. My friends who didn't make it to our wedding." Akhael said with a sneer in his tone.I just shook my head. I was really busy that time so I was not able to attend but I made sure that I send them my gift."Hi. I'm Agatha. Akhael's wife." She said while extending her hand but Kael just took her hand and hid it."No need for that honey."Tss.. why is he so very possessive?"Hi. Diego Reis," Diego said."Oh. You're my husband's friend. Divine's ex, right?" The woman said with a smile. Diego was stunned and his smile disappeared."I'm one of her best friends. She told me about you so I know you a little.""It's okay. And I
Steven wasn’t in the mood all day. All of the employees in the office were avoiding him. Everyone gets scolded by him because a week passed without a text or call from Ria."Why is it like this?" He asked his secretary who almost trembled with fear. Steven’s voice was a bit calm but everyone knew that he’s mad."Who did this? What do you think of this job? Just a game?" Steven threw the papers in the trash.Sora, his secretary, left looking pale while Steven's father, who was looking at his son, just shook his head. Don Alvante entered the office and asked his assistant to leave him for a moment."Dad," Steven stood up to greet his father."Is there a problem son?""No dad. I'm sorry for that. I'm just stress lately."Steven's father is a good man. His name was famous in the business industry before passing the throne to Steven. He is respected by the big bosses of Asia. A successful business tycoon in the country that's why many people knew the Alvante."Are you sure? You seem hot-he
Don Alvante noticed the changes in his son's expression so he became even more intrigued."I think she's in a relationship with someone else dad." Steven said.'In relationship but my son is crazy in love with her? What potion did that girl use on my son?' The Don thought."And she has a child," Steven added, surprising his father even more."What? In that case... So why?""I don't know dad. I just feel it and I think it's impossible for me to stop it."His father was silent. For Mr. Alvante, there’s no case if his son marries anyone as long as the woman his son wanted is a good person. But he wondered why his son still likes a woman who’s in relationship with someone. Not to mention that that woman has a child already.Mr. Alvante knew Steven. His son is arrogant but smart and fierce in business.Mr. Alvante also knew the reason of his wife why she let Amanda live with Steven. His wife wanted the best for their son and Steven is no longer in his 20s.For his wife, Steven needs to set
STEVENWhy Kael is here?"Why are you here?" I asked Kael."I'm picking up my wife and my daughter. You?"'So what is his wife doing at Ria's house?'I looked at Agatha who’s now nervous. Based on her reaction a while ago, I think she already knew me other than the fact that I am her husband’s buddy.I could feel it. Is she hiding something from me?"Why are you here?" I asked Agatha."Hey, what's wrong Steven? This is the house of my wife's best friend, Divine. But Rialyn was the one who’s currently living here."What?"That's why they're here." Kael added.And then I remembered their conversation one week ago at the club. So that's it. The Ria they talked about and MY Ria are the same?I couldn't believe it. And then Agatha, why do I feel like, she already knew me at that time when Kael introduced us last week?"Don't tell me that the Ria you are referring to is-" Kael"Daddy who's he? Is he V's daddy?" Kael couldn't continue what he was going to say because of what their daughter s
I was getting closer and closer to the address of the hospital and my heartbeat was getting stronger. For some unknown reason I was nervous.When I arrived at the hospital, I immediately parked the car and hurried inside but I saw my sister not far away."What is she doing here?" I don’t know but something urged me to follow her. Isn’t a great coincidence that she’s here while none of our relatives were taken to the hospital?I stopped for a moment and hid when I saw her stopped and started to talking to a nurse.I was not far away so I heard what they were talking about."Hannah, long time no see." The nurse said while smiling at my sister."Hello Jessica. It's nice to see you.""What are you doing here?" Jessica asked Hannah."I'm visiting my nephew,” I gasped in surprise.Which nephew is she referring to? Do we have another sibling who already has a child?"Nephew?" The nurse asked."Yes. My brother’s son," Hannah answered. I blinked thrice at what she uttered. Because of what Hann
He told me months ago that he saw a child who looked like me and he's positive enough that it was my son.I didn't believe it because it might just be a coincidence.And I am so stupid because I didn't even check. I want to know the truth now."Oh bro, what are you doing here?" Philip said when he opened the door."Bud, I have something to ask you. About the boy you saw in the airport." Him being Philip just smirked at me."So you believe in me now?" I nodded in response. Sweat was dripping from my forehead. I didn’t know everything would be like this."Come. I have something to show you."I entered his condo. He offered me a drink but I refused. I just wanted to know the truth.Philip entered the room and when he came out he was carrying an envelope. He gave it to me so I was surprised when I turned to look at him."What's this?""Open it," I opened it and saw the picture of Ria and the boy who looked like me."You see man, when I saw them at the airport, I'm positive enough that the
I closed my eyes and touched his chest. I didn't realize that I was slowly retreating because of Yenro's lips attacking me. Before I lost my senses, I used my remaining strength to avert my face from him, which broke our kiss. "I'm not going to church this week." I said and even though my legs were shaking from what we did, I still managed to step my feet to get out of his presence. Wow Amanda! Have you been able to escape from that temptation yet? I should give you a reward. Since then, I haven't been able to look at Yenro again. I never thought that he could break my routine with just one kiss. "Is everything alright? Have we bought everything?” I asked "Why can't you look at me?" I closed my eyes because here he is again with his demand that is difficult for me to refuse. What's going on and he's slowly getting me to follow his wishes? This is not you Amanda. "What are you talking about?" I even faked a laugh just to stay compose. I'm nervous. "Look at me then," he dema
"Am I doing it right?" I looked at Yenro and saw him staring at me. No. I'm not doing it right.He has put the vegetables that I washed earlier in the mixing bowl and the mixture is fine.That prick is picking on me.He's a bully.I frowned and went back to cleaning the rice.I felt Yenro's presence behind me. I was horrified when I felt his body as he slid his two hands to my hand while I am busy washing the rice."You're doing it right, darling."I suddenly felt heat in my body and felt like I was going to get burned by Yenro's caresses.Using his hand, we washed the rice and cook it.I walked away from Yenro because I’m feeling different. I returned to my seat while my cheeks are burning hot because of what happened earlier. He was just smiling while staring at me."Stop smiling," I said with a frown.A smile spread across his lips. This man knows how handsome he is. And he's using his charm for me to beg on my knees.No Yenro. I know your goal."A-Are you coming with Seteven to th
"What are you doing here?" I asked angrily.He did not say anything. He just shrugged and went to our living room and sat down.How rude!"What are you doing here, Yenro?"Why is he here?"Do you have some beer here?" he didn't answer my question.."How did you get in? You're not welcome here."He turned to me. His jaw tightened and he clearly didn't like what I said."I welcome myself here. Welcome home, myself." He sarcastically said. I looked at him."You jerk! Get out of my house."His face was dark and he was staring at the object on the table. I see his biceps running upwards because he's breathing drastically.I hate his guts. I hate him for making me feel nervous. I hate him for making me guilty for no reason."Why did you let Steven stay in your room?"I frowned. So he was here a while ago?"What is it to you then?"His lips parted. He couldn't believe that I answered him that way. I hate this man. "What the fvck Amanda! You're a woman! Yet you let him stay in your room. Are
I moved his hand on my lips in disgust. He angrily punched the wall. What the hell is he thinking? "What! Stop it you bastard!" I raised my voice to him. "Stop being stubborn and let me clean your lips." "Do you have a problem with my lips? Are you going crazy?” His jaw tightened as he turned to me. He hardly catch his breath. I want to provoke him but I am stunned by the emotion I see in his eyes. “This is b*llshit!” He slammed the door behind me and left. He’s going crazy but I think I am the one going crazy because when he got out of the door, I sat down on the floor cause my heart won’t back to its normal beating. I don't know what Yenro is doing. I'm sure of only one thing. I’m acting differently when I’m with him. I'm afraid because it might bring me to a different situation. I don’t want Steven to leave me. I'm still studying and when he doesn't want me anymore, no one will give me money. I'm scared to death. I never went back to the gym. I just texted Steven that I’m
I wanna say, you're the worst but I can't tell him that. Yenro is being sweet this day. I don't have the heart to say bad things to him when he did nothing but help me. "Let's start eating?" I nodded and took some soup that I haven't tasted in a long time. It' sounds exaggerated to say but now, I understand the feeling of people crying because of the food. It's not because they've eaten the food they struggle to eat every day. It's because of the feeling that they remembered someone or something because of that certain food. I only realized the tears in my eyes when Yenro wiped them with his hand. He did not say anything. He was just in front, looking at me and smiling. "You like it?" I nodded. "Does it hurt?" I shook my head. "Then I assume you're happy. Too much that it hurts. That's why you're crying." I said nothing more. I ate quietly and filled myself with foods that I rarely taste. Even if I had to buy them, I still don't know how to make something like this. I us
"We have a game this Saturday. Wanna come?” Steven brushed his lips in my ear causing me to tingle. "Hey, stop it!" I laughed and pushed his head away. He frowned so I laughed even harder. “Ehem!” A sound of tease stopped us. Steven and I turned to him together. It was Yenro. "Hey man! What's up?” I looked away when Yenro looked at me. "What time tomorrow?" he asked Steven. "Maybe 8?" He nodded and looked at his watch. “Kael is looking for you. He said he had something important to say." Yenro said. "What?" He shrugged and glanced at me. "Shit! I still have a class!” Steven complained and turned to me. "I need to go," I smiled and nodded slightly. "Are you okay here? You have two more hours before your next class starts.” Yes. I still have 2 hours but he doesn’t need to worry about my sake. I’m fine. "It's fine. I'm just going to study," my boyfriend nodded gently and kissed me on the forehead. "Alright. Call me when you need me.” He said. "Okay," I said. He finally lef
How did I become the highest? I didn't pass anything yesterday.I turned to Yenro and saw him smiling at me. He slowly raised his hand and clapped so that our classmates will also clap."Get your paper," he whispered.I looked in front and saw the instructor handing me the paper.I stood up in shock and slowly approached our prof. I am trembling as I took the paper and I saw that it was Yenro's handwriting."Congratulations Ms. Ilagan!” Ms. Valde said and my classmates including Yenro applauded again.I looked at him and he winked at me.I returned to my seat. This is absurd. I didn't answer anything yesterday.After I returned to his side, he immediately faced me while ma'am was now writing on the board."I know you didn't review the notes because of me. I'm sorry," he said. Instead of being happy, I glared at him.But I chose not to answer and listen to our prof. I’m mad.What does he think he is? Why did he do that? For what? So that I owe him something?I'm not the mood til’ the
How many days did papa not come home? I held my breath. I don't know where to look for him now. I looked down from my notes and read it. I didn't sleep enough to wait for dad last night and I forgot to review my notes too. I’m so dead. "What are you doing?" I almost jumped in shock when someone suddenly whispered in my ear. Annoyed, I turned to Yenro. What is he doing here? "What are you doing here?" The corner of his lips rose. "You're calling me Yenro?" he said comfortingly. He raised his eyebrows. What if I call him by his name? Is he nuts? "It's your name. Naturally!” I replied auspiciously. “Okay.” He said softly. I took my stuff and tortured him. "It would be better if I just leave. You're disturbing me!" I said and marched off. I don't look at him but I can feel his every gaze behind me. I continued walking until I met Steven. He's smiling from ear to ear with his friends. I didn't call him because I don't want him to disturb me while I'm reviewing my notes for my qu
Hi. This story will be the story of Philip and Amanda. Thanks for reading Ria and Steven's story. Let's go to Amanda next. We can see to her POV how much she suffered from Lia's hands. I hope you will support it as much as you support Steven and Ria. Thank you. Hope someone will like it. Let's see how these two get up together after the greatest downfall that tested their lives."You were my hope when I'm scared and alone in the Canada. You keep me sane in the lion's den. But where are you when I bear the gift we made? You left and I'm alone again. Save me, Philip .”- Amanda ------------------------ PROLOGUE "Who's that girl?" Ben looked at me because the man next to him him pointed at me. I quickly put my notebooks in the bag because I’m going to leave. I don't want anyone to look at me. "There you are. Hivo is looking for you." I was surprised when Hannah, the sister Steven, appeared in front of me. I nodded and went straight to the gym because Steven was there. I know Steven
