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 tried bud but Hannah blocked me. Four days ago, I went to Ria to the hospital to confront her about the truth since there was no DNA test result yet and I met Hannah there. She asked me not to tell you everything and Rialyn also talked to me that if possible she will be the one to tell you everything." Philip said."But you found out everything before she could tell you the truth." He addedFvck! What have I done? I was enjoying my bachelor life while I neglected a child? What kind of person am I?---------------THIRD POV"What happened to him?" Ben asked, one of Steven's friends who only showed up once in a while."He just found out about his fatherhood." Philip answered while shaking his head."What the fvck. For real? He has a child Pee?" Ben couldn't believe what he heard. He didn't think that apart from Kael, they had another friend who already had a child. Philip glared at him."Can you stop calling me Pee?" He frowned at Ben but his friend ignored him."How did that happen?
STEVENLike yesterday, I went to the hospital at night. I was outside the door of Hivo's room. My son.I didn’t know why I'm nervous. I’m wondering if he’s mad at me. ‘Will he accept me or what? I miss him a lot.’I guess this was the situation where the nervousness I felt doubled.I looked at my watch and it was eleven o'clock at night. I’m so damn scared. I've been an irresponsible father to him.I slowly entered the room and found Ria sleeping next to the child who was also sleeping.It was as if something caressed my heart with regret and anger when I saw them. I am ashamed that I couldn't remember the woman I love. The frustrating part was no matter how hard I try to remember her, I always ended up nothing.I stepped forward, and stood next to my son and watched him sleeping soundly.I wonder how he cried when he was a baby. I wondered how he laugh for the first time. How he looked like in his first walk and first run. What was the first word he uttered?Was it mama? Was it papa?
RIALYNHivo cried for more than ten minutes in his father's arms. I was shocked to see Steven inside carrying our son.I saw the pain in his eyes as he looked at me. I cried when I saw our son clinging to his father while crying.I stood up and approached them. I don't have any idea why Steven is here. I don't know if someone told him the truth or he just found out because he looks so much like his son.Did he tell Hivo that he’s his father? Or Hivo recognized him right away?"Come here son. Mama will carry you." I said but he shook his head and buried his face to his father’s neck."I want dad, mom." He’s really sure that Steven is his dad even though no one told him or shown him a picture of Steven."Alright, but you need to get down. Your-" I stopped up for a moment because I’m unsure if it’s right to say the term dad. "Your dad might get tired for carrying you."I looked at Steven and he was silent while also looking at me.My son looked at his father. "Are you tired, dad?" His vo
I didn’t know what to say. I couldn't find the right words to answer him. Will I agree or not? What should I do?I could see in his eyes the expectation that I would answer 'yes.'Should I agree? If you think about it, Amanda lives with him. His mother doesn't like me either. I can't match the wealth they have. We’re poor!"Can I just answer you next time?"I can see the disappointment in his eyes but as a mother, I have to make sure that my son will be okay."I'm sorry Steven," I apologized."It's okay babe," he tried to smile but it just looked fake. I just don't want to rush everything because of my son.I fell asleep while Steven was next to me watching over our son.I woke up when I heard my son’s soft giggles."Dad. Stop it. I'm a man now," I frowned while watching them playing around. Steven tickling Hivo and our son burst into tears while laughing."But you're still daddy's baby," Steven said.I saw the scratch papers scattered on the floor and other coloring materials.I had
RIALYN"Mom, I'm excited," Hivo whispered to my ear and Steven heard that. He chuckled while driving. I know his heart was full being with his son."Are you happy son?""Yes dad," Hivo answered and looked out the window to watch the houses we passed on the road.It's been a week since Hivo got out of the hospital.We were heading to Steven’s condo now. We’ll live there temporarily cause Amanda still living in his house.I looked at Steven when he suddenly hold my hand."What are you thinking babe?" he asked."Amanda,""What about her?" He frowned when he asked back.I've been thinking this lately that once she found out about Hivo, she might attack us."She might get angry once she learns about our son.""Why would she be angry? She’s out of my life and besides, I will protect you and our son." I looked at him. Somehow, because of what he said, I calmed a little bit."Dad, are we going to stay at your house?" Hivo asked him. He’s really excited because he has repeated several times to
"Where are you going? Can we come along?” I rolled my eyes because Steven asked that to me so many times now."Yes mommy, can we come with you?" I sighed. I can’t believe these two."No, you can’t. You’ll be get bored waiting for me." I said.Hivo pouted."Mama is just going to buy something for a while. Please, can you wait me in the car?" Hivo looked at his father before looking at me again."Daddy will be sad, mom." I looked at Steven for a moment then looked at our son that always seemed to be on his father’s side. I feel jealous sometimes."Oh! Daddy is not a kid. He understands me. Right daddy?" I glanced at Steven with my deadly stares. He smiled noticing that if he said no, I would be upset with him. I saw he swallowed several times before he nodded."Y-Yes b-babe," he stammered."See son? Daddy understands, doesn't he? So you should get in the car first and wait until mommy comes back.” I said.Hivo nodded.I waited for them to leave before I turned around to buy facial cream
After I read the message, I admitted that it scares the hell out of me. My son had just met his father, what will happen to them?"Daddy?" Hivo mumbled. I looked at the clock and it was midnight. I don’t know if Steven will go home tonight."He's still at work son. Go back to sleep, we'll wake you up when dad gets home." I said smiling.He yawned and fell asleep immediately. I tried to sleep but I couldn't. So I stood up to get water.I was surprised to see Steven sitting on the sofa and looking in vain.He’s thinking deeply that he didn't even notice my presence. I didn’t know how long he had been there."Babe," He looked surprise when he see me, he immediately stood up and approached me."Why-"I couldn't finish what I was going to say when he suddenly hugged me and buried his face in my neck."Babe, I'm tired," he said.Why are you tired? At your job or at your mom's request?"Babe," he called."Hmm?" I replied while rubbing his back up and down."Let's get married," I was surprise
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

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
