“Build Baby ..? We went there? ” I asked as I can’t remember that Jaxson and I went there earlier and why would we shop for baby supplies?
“Yes, Ms. Daniella. You dropped by our shop about a week ago and shopped for your baby. The baby supplies are now packed well and are ready to be shipped. The only information we need to get is the delivery date that you prefer. It can happen either before or after you give birth. ”"Ms. Daniella ...?" I muttered aloud with a tone of disbelief.“Yes, Ms. Is there any problem? ”“Did Jaxson also come to shop for baby products?” I said emphatically while waiting for the answer of the woman I was talking to on the other line. It seemed like she was surprised because of the sounds I was hearing on her end.“Yes, Ms. Daniella. You came with Mr. Madrigal to shop for your baby supplies together. ” This answer hesitates me. “Is there something wrong Ms? You seem to be having difficulty remembering what happened just a week ago. ”“This is not Daniella. It’s Cattleya ”I told her to be clear that she’s not talking to the right person. “I’m going to let Jaxson know that you called. Thanks. ”I immediately turned off the call and didn't wait for him to say anything.I don’t know what I should feel right now. Anger, imis, sadness, and pity come together to the point that I am getting confused with my own emotion.I laid Jaxson's phone on the bed and then slowly rested my body. It has been such a very long day for me and in a short time it was as if I was being rolled around on a roller coaster where I had no control over how it would go.I don't know if I should tell Jaxson about the call I received, because it might only make him even more confused now that he is trying to battle his emotions. That's why maybe he changes his mood so badly every time there are children that we encounter. Maybe, he was already excited to see what he thought was his son, but then in the end it is owned by a different father. This call just shows me how much Jaxson anticipated and expected for their baby because he even went shopping for his son.I just really don’t get it how Daniella fooled him right in front of his face, lying to him that he was the father and even giving him hopes by making plans together with him. She is beyond cruel for doing that. Daniella has a lot of time to reflect on how bad she is doing, and yet she continues to fool Jaxson.I felt that my eyelids were getting heavier so I rested my eyes and finally could rest and sleep first because I am sure that tomorrow will also be such a long day for me.__________________________[THIRD PERSON POV]“What are these !?” Nolan Yves, Daniella's father, shouted at Jaxson as soon as he entered the headquarters.Jaxson's gaze dropped to a brown envelope that Nolan Yves had slapped on the table. He calmly walked closer to it, without any traces of emotion on his face. He pulled his wrapped hand out of his pocket and then picked up the envelope and opened its contents.Nolan Yves puts his arm on the table while one is on his beard, scratching ut, showing how stressed he is and what’s happening.When Jaxson opened the envelope, he was exposed to the contents of a pile of photos of the two of them and Cattleya at the Escape Palace and it also included photos of them holding hands and laughing. They look so sweet in the pictures and seemingly like a new couple."It's pictures of my fiance and I, sir." Jaxson said softly as he raised his eyes to Nolan Yves.His eyes widened as his eyes twitched in shock.“WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY !?” His loud voice resounded across the room but Jaxson remained calm.Nolan Yves drew the pictures closer to him and he pointed emphatically at Cattleya's face in the photo.“That woman! Do you really think that you can fool me? That doesn’t look anything like my daughter! You are going to have Daniella's child. How can you do this to my daughter ?! ”Jaxson didn’t even flinch when Nolan Yves walked to him fiercely and grabbed the collar on his neck, ready to punch his face as his fist was already raised in the air.“Shouldn’t you be asking that to Daniella?” Both of his brows are raised as his lips hang open, looking like he is not guilty to anything.“Daniella? Now you call my daughter Daniella? How long have you been cheating on her and your child, huh? ” He grunted as he clenched his fist even tighter that his nail had almost sunk into his palm. “You stupid little scumbag! I entrusted my son to you and now this is the only thing you will repay to our family? After I helped your company almost collapse and rot several years ago! I should have just left him to Lance! ”Jaxson’s jaw sharpened as his fist also began to tighten. He grabbed Nolan Yves ’collar and pulled it upwards, flashing range in his eyes. Jaxson's father entered the room just in time so it stopped.“Jax! What the hell are you doing !? ” It opened loudly and immediately ran towards them and tried to stop it.Jaxson violently released his grip on Daniella's father's collar and caused it to slightly lose balance.“What is going on here? Your loud shouts could be heard even outside. ” Jaxson's father shouted angrily as he caught his breath as he hurried to enter after hearing a loud fight in the room. "Jax, what happened?"Jaxson loosened his necktie as his head tilted a bit, moving his jaws as if trying to unlock it. He again approached towards the photographs and then picked them up to show to his father.“Mr. Yves came here to show me this. It’s the pictures of my fiance, Cattleya, and I. ” He said and glanced slightly at Nolan Yves, emphasizing Cattleya’s name.One by one Matienzo Madrigal, Jaxson's father, looked at the photos of the man with a frown on his forehead."I don't see any problem here." sparing this thread that dropped the jaws of Nolan Yves.“You don’t see anything wrong about your son cheating on my daughter in front of my face ?!” its tone of speech is still high.“Jax is not cheating on Daniella. They already broke up. ”“Split up? Aren’t they supposed to get married and have a child? ” its confused question as his eyes were naughty and did not know where to look.“The baby inside Daniella’s womb ...” Jaxson muttered as his eyes fell on the floor. “It’s not my son. It’s Lance’s. ”“What!?” Jaxson's slumped gaze arose once again from the floor. “What’s with that expression, Mr. Yves?” Jaxson said in a mocking tone. “Shouldn't you be celebrating right now? You asserted that you should have simply given your daughter to Lance rather than to me. You must be ecstatic now that you know they will be the ones to start a family with you.” Jaxson spoke in a chilly tone while maintaining his direct gaze. “I think we’re all done here. So, with the utmost respect, I'm going up to my room right now because I'm exhausted and I'm concerned that my fiance has already been waiting for me.” He added emphatically before he began to come out of the room with his eyes looking straight and didn’t bother to look back.When Jaxson finally made it to his room, he was surprised to see Cattleya in bed already dozing off. With only half of her body on the bed, and one foot nearly slumped to the floor. Jaxson noticed his phone near Cattleya, as well as the laptop that was still open and wo
“Do you remember that exact same day that you left his card in my hand? It’s also the day that I called him, and said that I am accepting his offer and that I am going out with him. I spoke to Loren discreetly out of fear that someone around could overhear us. Fortunately, the professor had not yet arrived when I attended the third course, so I still had some time to explain to Loren what everyone was perplexed about and why things had moved so quickly for Jaxson and I.I made a real effort earlier to ignore the students' whispers as soon as they spotted me entering this campus. I am aware that people are making fun of me because of the images that have gone viral online, but I kind of expected that before I came because the man I was holding hands with at the mall is not an easy person. It’s Jaxson Madrigal that almost everyone knows.“Then, are you telling me that after going out with that stranger guy in the DeepBlue, he fell in love with you, offered you a marriage, and you got en
I used my right hand to cover my face as I caught a glimpse of them walking toward me from the corner of my eye.I was starting to hear whispers from my classmates as all attention was focused on Jaxson and Finn.“We are actually here to pay a visit to Ms. Cattleya. I hope you don't mind.” Finn uttered in a completely different tone. He sounded like someone who's trying to be cool. Though he looks a bit cool in his black leather jacket with a white shirt inside, his voice kind of sounds funny to me.Jaxson, on the other hand, looks like someone who came here to our university to buy some buildings. He looks very classy and expensive in his suit as if there is nothing tangled to be seen here. His hair is brushed up and there is no denying that his face looks so bright. When I took a peek from spreading my fingers a bit, I saw that they are inch closer to me so I decided to just remove my hand from covering my face and stood up from my seat..Maybe it would be better for us to just have
This is the only free time I got after being engaged to Jaxson to attend university and catch up on some of the activities and quizzes that I’ve missed. But now, Jaxson and Finn came here to make a scene and use this time for the play when it should be me trying to make myself graduate.As much as I want to complain and talk to Jaxson about this, I can’t. Because Loren came with us, and I suspect that she is trying to watch us and see if I am lying to her about my love.Ever since we got out of the classroom, I have been noticing that Loren and Finn are exchanging fierce and evil gazes.It seems that Loren has her blood boiling to Finn and they seem to be having a hard time getting along.“Lady, can you stop staring at me?” Finn exclaimed, in an annoyed tone as he drew farther from Loren."I'm not staring at you. I am glaring." She replied with one of her brows raised.Loren has been a sweet and kind of a person. This is the very first time that I've seen her being annoyed this much be
The warm glow of genuine smiles on Jaxson's lips took my mind off of things. I'm not sure what it is within that seems to be pulling at me, but I do know that it is strong enough to make me want to spit myself out. When Finn took a picture of me, I was startled back to reality by the sound of the camera. “Give us a smile, Catt!” He yelled, “Come on!” I followed his request right up and began posing for pictures with a big smile. I noticed that my lips were quivering from nervousness. I don't want my photo taken because of this. As soon as I saw the camera, I started to feel awkward and unsure of what to do.“Do a little more other postures! "Finnley gives me another command. After being dumbfounded for a moment, I tried to come up with another gesture to make in front of the camera, but I couldn't think of anything else, so I just made the lame peace sign with my fingers and started posing with it. I noticed Loren smiling at me and shaking her head at Finn at the same time. “Catt,
I can't think of any other reason but because Daniella is also a professional model. Does Jaxson not want me to have that kind of career just because it is already her career? I just don’t see any correlation to it. And Jaxson having something to say about what job I should have while staying married to him doesn’t sit right to me.Their gazes shifted to me because of the word I just let out, but my eyes were focused on one certain person waiting for his answer.Our gaze had been locked for a minute and there seemed to be no voice as if everyone in the table was muted as our eyes connected. I saw Loren’s forehead make a crease from the corner of my eyes. I know pretty well that she is wondering about the words I said. She doesn't know about the person that I am talking about. She doesn't know about Daniella. “Are you acting like this because your ex-girlfriend is also a model?” I questioned him again as he did not respond to my question.I seemed to feel a little furious because I did
“All of my documents and activities that I have to submit are already inside this envelope, Loren. I won't be able to go to university in the next few days, so you have to pass that to our professor for me.” I muttered softly to her as I handed the brown envelope that I was carrying. “I really wish to see you tomorrow at the wedding. You know I have no one but you… Charles and mom are away. So,” I look intently into her eyes trying to convince her.I know that this is not a real wedding that is going to take place but still, I want someone that I care about to attend and be there for me. I already don't have a father to walk me down the aisle, but having a friend that I can lean on will be a great help.Loren flashed a tiny smile on her lips before accepting the envelope with the papers that I am handing her.“I will make sure to be there, Cattleya. I have no idea where this is going but I can sense that you need my absolute support and protection. So, if you are allowed to send me you
When Loren finally left, I was stricken dumb for a moment before I started to turn around and walk towards where Jaxson and Finn is waiting.I did not utter a word and silently approached them and they intentionally quit their conversation when I was finally able to draw near them so I did not have a chance to hear what they were talking about. They look very serious and I am wondering what it is.Jaxson's gaze just hovered over me before handing me the bouquet again without saying anything.My lips parted as I was about to talk to him, but I was astounded when he turned his back to me and walked away straight into his car. My lips slowly shut down again, baffled at what just happened. Is Jaxson mad at me?But, shouldn't I be the one who resents him?When he banged the door closed really loud without even saying anything, I just veered around my eyes to Finn with my mouth hanging open. “Couples really have some quarrel before the wedding so make sure to still show up at your wedding
"You might think that I'm a creep, but I love how you look like whenever I kiss you." Liam stated straight.I felt my cheeks burning like hell because of what he said. My blood rose to my cheek and I felt it was on fire."You look like a baby, every time.""Oh, shut up." I tried to avert my gaze from him.He extended his hands at me and just simply grabbed my hand. I'm slowly getting used to always holding Liam's hand. If back then I almost died from being so nervous, now it's just a little bit.But I feel like I'm walking on clouds because of the lightness of my feet and the feeling that you're floating.I looked around. There are still many people here even after the sun has set, most of the people wandering around are tourists like us.I lift my eyes and I can't believe what I see. What I used to see in shows is now in front of my eyes.I stopped walking for a while to take a closer look at Namsan Tower. No wonder why so many people want to visit it, because it is really beautiful
“How can you be so sure? What if they won’t give you a call? What if… Uh… There would be an emergency and they can’t contact you?” I insisted on the question once again. Jaxson can’t stay here all day, because if that happens, then I have to stay all day in this bed too. He will eventually find out that I can’t walk. “— Also, you won’t stay here with me all day even if you don’t go to your office. I have a call from Miranda agency that we have costume fitting today.” It’s not entirely a lie because the agency called me early in the morning that I have to be there with Daniella.I am planning to go regardless of what she can do to me. And what I am thinking of, is to sneak out this house with the help of Richard. Besides, he won’t suspect that Daniella did it to me because it seems to be an accident when I fall off my shoes. It’s only me and her who knows exactly who did it to injure me. I can’t help but to worry about Lance’s and Daniella’s plan for Jaxson and I. They are harming
I struggled to get my body moving and hit the button on the bedside table."Good evening, Aunt Elsie? Are you there?" I politely called the other line and then waited for him to respond.It's excellent that Jaxson has been using advanced technology throughout this bedroom. Since it is so distant from our room, I wouldn't have been able to call Aunt Elsie if I wasn't strong enough to go down to the kitchen."Hello, Mrs. Madrigal. My mother isn't here, do you need anything?""Angel?" I asked with my brows colliding. "Why isn't Aunt Elsie there? Did she go somewhere?" I became worried because this is the first time that she is not the one who answered my call."Well, technically she's not here. But she's also not outside the house. I think she's taking care of Mr. Madrigal that just came home, ma'am. Would you like me to call her?" He calmly answered with his soft and airy voice."No, no, it's okay..."If you need anything Mrs. Madrigal, I can bring it to you right away."I nodded quietl
"You're giving me tickles, stop." he chuckles as he continuously leaned away from me.I giggled as I continued to tease him. "You're such a ticklish baby.""I am not." he tried to straighten his face and stop laughing but he couldn't stop it.When I got tired, I leaned on his chest again and then fiddled with the button of his polo shirt."When are we going back to New Jersey?" I asked.It's like... I don't want to go back and face his life. I just want to stay here next to Liam and hug him all night, make him laugh, and talk to him."We're not going back unless you ask me to." he uttered.I moved a little away from his chest to look him in the eyes. "Really?"His hand came up to the top of my head and ruffled my hair. "Really."I took a breath. "If it's possible, I'll claim you and never give you back."He laughed softly and then turned his attention back to the laptop in front of him when he received an email.I brought my lips to his ear again, but this time, to whisper."Liam is g
[THIRD PERSON POV]Maddison and Blade are now inside the car who have been restless with their hands on the steering wheel and gulps one after the other.Even though Maddison couldn't understand why she was letting someone she didn't know very well take her somewhere, her body seemed to be telling her that it was okay to go with the man next to her now.As well as the strange feeling he feels in his heart, which he never once felt with Liam.Even though Maddison and Liam have been in a relationship, it cannot be denied not to see the chemistry between the two of them.Maybe because from the beginning Maddison was forced by her father to know and love Liam.When Maddison and Liam are together, her father treats her well and smiles tenderly. But every time Maddison doesn't know the location, or if Liam does me, his father hurts him.At first he didn't understand his father's repeated beatings, but he still did what he wanted. Even though he doesn't like Liam, he insists on being friends
"I missed the breeze here..." Maddison muttered as Blade pushed his wheel chair towards the shore of the sea. "I avoid even thinking about this place because of painful memories." he smiled bitterly.When they got there, Blade stopped pushing and then he sat next to its wheel."Me, I'm always here to calm my mind. It's often on top of the rocks so I can see the entirety of the surroundings. I still remember that we always hang out there." he smiled as he reminisced their past.Maddison also seemed to smile as she looked up at the place where Blade was looking."I know... you told me before, I'm the only woman you'll bring there. Did you keep that promise?”Maddison turned to Blade who looked away and then pretended to be playing with the sand.Maddison let out a small laugh. "Don't tell me...""I brought Crystal there once." Blade uttered but he still couldn't look straight.Maddison only laughed harder that made Blade turn to him. "What's so funny? Aren't you angry?”His eyes rounded
I could hardly believe the words coming out of his mouth.How is it that the Vince that I just recently met who works for Steven's company, is the one they say is the youngest heir of the Celestials who was our batch when we were still studying at Harrison High?"B-But wait... If you're the Celestial I'm thinking of, does that mean you also went to university at the same time Steven and I?" I asked in surprise.As far as I remember, there was always talk about who the heir was. The only heir I knew at our school was Steven.“Yes, I attended Harrison High with you. Like I said, if you only knew how to look back, you would have recognized me. You couldn't even notice me or turn a blind eye because your eyes were too direct on that man."I bowed down because of what he said. Come to think of it, I only have one friend and that's Mavi. I was careful to get to know someone else because I was afraid that Steven would get jealous. Even with Mavi, I can't always give him time because Steven d
“Babe...”A soft voice woke me up from sleeping soundly. Even if I don't open my eyes, I knew well that this is Jaxson.I giggled when I felt his soft lips on my forehead, trying to wake me up. He never missed any morning to give me a sweet kiss as a morning gift. We really are a couple and I still couldn't believe.I scrunched my nose as I felt the pain on my foot as I slowly lift my body with the help of Jaxson supporting the back of my head.“Breakfast in bed.” My eyes slowly opened up as I was shock by the food in front of me. I couldn't help but be touched at what he did.“You are so sweet...” I muttered as I returned a gentle kiss on his forehead. “This is the very first time I'll experience something like this.” I honestly let out, feeling my eyes forming into doe because of the joy that the food brought me.This just came at the exact moment. I mean, I was planning last night to skip breakfast and pretend that I am not hungry just to wait for Jaxson to leave the house so I ca
I struggled to get my body moving and hit the button on the bedside table. “Good evening, Aunt Elsie? Are you there?” I politely called the other line and waited for her to respond. It's excellent that Jaxson has been using advanced technology throughout this bedroom. Since it is so distant from our room, I wouldn't have been able to call Aunt Elsie if I weren't strong enough to go down to the kitchen.“Good evening, Mrs. Madrigal. Are there any things you need, my mother is not around.”“Angel?” My brows furrowed as I questioned, “Why isn't Aunt Elsie there? She left— and where did she go?” As this was the first time someone other than she had taken my call, I started to get concerned. “Yes technically, she is not here. She isn't, however, in the yard either, ma’am. I believe she is taking after Mr. Madrigal who has just arrived home. Do you want me to call her for you?” In a serene tone, she responded, with her voice light and airy.“No, no, it's okay…”“If you need anything, Mrs
