CHAPTER 20"Is it true?" Ryker was startled when he turned towards me, because I had blocked his way. "I-is everything I heard was true, Ryker Matt?" I asked him, trembling, barely able to stand because of everything I had heard about myself.He tossed his cigarette, nearly half-smoked, to the ground in front of him and slowly stomped it out. Smoking was forbidden at school, but he did it anyway. Then he looked up, exhaled the smoke from his mouth, and turned to me with a sharp gaze."Which part of it all do you want to hear, Aubree?" My eyes widened and I gasped at his deep voice as he asked me. This wasn't the Ryker I knew. No... his gentle, teasing voice was gone."That... that you're just fooling me? Huh, Ryker? Tell me, tell me it's not true, huh? Tell me?"His hands were in the pockets of his slacks, and he stared at me. I saw no love in his eyes, but anger, judgment, and disgust."Tsk, you already heard it, Aubree! Do you want me to repeat it so you'll be even more hurt?" A lou

CHAPTER 21"Hey! Are you okay, Aubree? You've been staring blankly at your desk for a while now." Lorna's question brought me back to reality.I erased the bitter memories of yesterday, of love lost. Now, I will move on for my children."I'm fine, Lorna!""Are you sure? Let me see." I was about to turn away when she grabbed my face and placed her palm on my forehead, both front and back. "You're a bit warm. You should just go home early. You're probably done with filing the documents we'll submit to our next clients this weekend." She suggested."Is it okay? It's still 40 minutes before we clock out. But I think I need a little rest right now.""Oh, it's totally fine, you're just probably thinking about who our next boss will be... omg... it's next week already! Gosh! I'm so excited.""No, it's just that I have a lot on my mind, but not about the new boss," I replied."You know, I actually heard a rumor that our next CEO might already have a fiancée. Though it's not confirmed, it's ju

CHAPTER 22I thought I was feeling better, but I wasn't really. I still had a bit of a cold and a headache.Since I couldn't be near my children yet, they would just peek at me through the door like they are doing now to check on me. "Mama, drink a lot of water and take your medicine, my twin Maynard put it on the tray earlier before Grandma dropped by," Freya said with concern."Get well soon, mama. We love you," Maynard said. I smiled at them both."Thank you babies, I've already eaten and drank a lot of water. I've also finished my medicine. Thank you, my dear angels, I'll make it up to you when I get better, okay?""Mama, we're just happy to see you without any pain, my twin and I are both happy, Grandma and Grandpa, Noona Ganda and Tito Caloy, we're not sad anymore as long as our mama is getting better!" I stopped myself from crying again because of what Freya said."Of course baby, pray for me to get better, okay?""We always pray to Papa Jesus for you to get well, mama," Mayna

CHAPTER 24"Shit! Why? Why him? Isn't there anyone else?" I was in the bathroom, pacing back and forth with nothing else to do.I wanted to go home and hide my children, I don't want him to see them. He has no right to see them, does he?"Just shit!" I angrily pulled at my hair. Then what was his reaction earlier, he didn't recognize me. Is he crazy? He forgets so easily, he forgets so easily?I calmed myself down, with trembling hands, I took my comb and makeup. Not to look pretty and get his attention, but my hair was messed up from pulling it and slapping my face because I thought it was all a dream and besides, to show him that even though he hurt and cheated on me before, I'm brave now, I'm not the woman who easily falls for him anymore. He's not a loss and most importantly, he's worthless.Everything he did to me, he did everything to capture me, and here I am, I was easily captured by his flowery words."I hate you Ryker Suliiiivan! I hate you to the bone–""Is anyone inside?"

CHAPTER 25I opened my eyes and was greeted by a white ceiling. I blinked repeatedly as the light blinded me."Aubree!" I turned my gaze to where Mom was. "Aubree! How are you feeling?" I checked myself to see if anything hurt or anything."Can I have some water, mama?" I asked instead to answer her question. She immediately went to the table where the water was and poured some into a glass. I lifted myself slightly to sit on the hospital bed."Here!" I took the water from my mother and drank immediately. After giving me the glass and putting it aside, she came to me, combed my hair and smiled."The doctor is coming to check on you again, are you not dizzy anymore? Or does your head hurt or what kind of pain are you feeling? I told you not to go to the office, but you're a stubborn kid, you can't handle it.""What happened, Ma?" I asked."Because of your high fever and over fatigue, you fainted earlier, so they immediately brought you here to the hospital." I got nervous because of wh

CHAPTER 26I was busy with the papers I needed to file today. My day has been going smoothly since I came back here, I haven't found a job yet because almost everything is full or it's just not my forte.And in the two weeks that the playboy a.k.a our boss has been gone, it's been two weeks that these documents that need his signature have been sitting here.I really want to smack that guy for being so careless with his work. He must be with his women again, that's why he still hasn't come to the office. He's so good, he's so good, I really want to slam his lazy face."What about Saturday, let's go to a bar? I know a good bar to go to. The X-club, what do you say?" I know the club Annaliza is referring to. It has three branches, in Makati, Taguig and Mandaluyong.We're in the canteen now for lunch. Mom packed me vegetables cooked in pinakbet, but without bagoong so I wouldn't smell like food in the office, and fried fish, so the only thing I bought here in the canteen was this halo-ha

Chapter 27"Mama!""Hmm, yes baby Freya?" I brushed my daughter's hair. We were in the bedroom, resting. After church, the kids didn't want to go out, so we just had lunch at home. We got takeout."I love you, mama!""I love you too baby, but mama knows why you're like this, you don't want to sleep this afternoon, do you?" She giggled because I was right."Because mama, I want to go to Tita Chevi's house, she has a baby in her tummy, mama." She said. We have a new neighbor named Chevika, she's pregnant, so my daughter is excited to visit. "Then I want to play with ate Chareleene," she added. I continued brushing her hair with my fingers while we lay on the bed so she could at least take a nap. Maynard was already asleep in Mama's room, so I left him. He might wake up and not want to sleep again."Go to sleep first, baby. We'll visit your Tita Chevi later. Maybe Tita is resting now to make the baby strong." I said."Oh, that's why. Like me, mama. I have to sleep too so Freya and twin M

Chapter 50: "Happy birthday!"We all sang happy birthday to Douglas Martinez’s daughter together.Everyone was happy, the children were even happier, there were games and everyone was active. Aside from the little children, the adults weren’t going to be left behind, especially the men, they were also joining the children’s games.Instead of our children enjoying playing, they were also laughing with their daddies. They were almost tripping over each other as they ran to be first in the games the MC was announcing.Longest lines, bring me, musical chairs, relay races, and more. They wanted to play all the games and didn’t want to lose."If this wasn’t a children’s party, for sure they would be taking off their clothes until there’s nothing left to reach the longest line. Look, they even took Zyro’s hair just to include it in the measurement, good thing he has long hair." Michaella said, laughing."My husband is so pitiful, are they going to shave my love bald?""Oh, seriously, maybe

Chapter 49"Are you alright?" He asked me with a smile. I glared at him and pinched his side."Ouch, it really hurts, binibini." He said, making me hit his arm again. I don't know why I'm hurting him, maybe I'm still scared of riding the helicopter and this is my way to relieve my anxiety."It’s all your fault, why didn’t you tell me that was our ride? I’m okay with planes, but helicopters, you’re going to kill me.""No, I thought you were brave like your daughter. But then, I know it now, so next time… we’ll ride a helicopter back to Manila–" he teased me."Hey! Stop it, I’m telling you. You go first, we’ll just take the bus or I’ll have Caloy pick us up. Even if it’s far, I know he’ll go here to pick us up. Just not your helicopter. I’ll die of fear." I told him. I saw his jaw clench and he glared into the distance. Go ahead, mark my words. I don’t want to ride any more flying vehicles.He looked at me and tried to smile, "sorry for what I did, I didn’t know you were scared of heigh

Chapter 48"Aren't you really coming, son?" I asked Maynard, who was reading a book. He loves reading encyclopedias. He almost finished reading the entire volume I bought for them.Since childhood, I haven't trained them to use gadgets, and it's funny that they haven't been influenced by other kids who are into technology.He turned to me and smiled, "No, Mama, just enjoy the birthday party with Freya. I'll just stay here at home and watch over Lola Mama and Lolo Papa while I read." He said, making me smile.I stroked his uppercut hair with my fingers. I was already dressed in a simple white blouse and black pants and white sneakers, and Mama offered to dress baby Freya, so I just waited for them here in the living room. I wasn't in a hurry, and the birthday celebration in an exclusive subdivision in Tagaytay would start later this afternoon.I think we'll still make it. "Okay, after you’re done or when you feel a little tired, you have to rest first, okay? Especially our eyes.""Yes,

Chapter 47“Baby, help me Ryker! They ganged up on me.” Oh, if you hadn’t started it, they wouldn’t have ganged up on you. You’re alone, I have a lot of amazons, even if I don’t tell them to help me, they’ll help me on their own.“Sir, she’s the one who started it, sir, we were just defending our Aubree,” Lorna said to the man who just arrived, looking at us with his hands on his hips. When our eyes met, I saw how worried he was as he approached me. I gasped in surprise, and he immediately carried me, so I couldn’t complain. I felt like I was in a daze at that moment.“Omg, Ryker, how about me?” Ryker turned to Miss Caterpillar, I mean Grachia? Garcia? Diraschia? I don’t know her real name since she arrived.Ryker glared at her sharply.“I’ve known your plan from the start, go home while I can still control myself,” he said and immediately went inside his office carrying me. I heard Miss Caterpillar shouting outside before the door closed.I was so embarrassed because of what this man

Chapter 46"So, you? What do you want?" Mama asked me.I sighed and rested my elbows on our table, waiting for Mama's sinigang to be cooked. It was Sunday, and we had just come from church with the kids, who were now in their room getting ready for the house.We didn't go out because the children wanted to stay home, so we decided to have bangus sinigang in miso for lunch."Am I really taking Freya, Mama?" I said. Ryker's friend's child was going to have a birthday party, and he needed someone to bring a child. Really? He shouldn't go because he doesn't have a child to bring. But apparently, the birthday family wouldn't accept his gift if he didn't go without a child."Those parents are different, huh. If you're the one who wants to bring one of your children, then you're the one who decides, if the children agree.""Freya agreed, Mama, she's easy to talk to, she immediately agreed and was even excited, but Maynard didn't want to, and I understand because he's not into those kinds of

Chapter 45The morning dawned, and I already felt like I didn't want to go to the office. I was sluggish, but I had to work, especially since payday was approaching. I needed to be diligent to get my salary.I hurried into the lobby and rushed to the reception table to log in my name. I was already late, it was almost ten in the morning. I was too lazy to get up, I just stared blankly at our ceiling. My mind was filled with thoughts until I decided to just go to work because I had no reason to take leave and I wasn't sick."Is the boss here?" I asked the receptionist."Yes, he's been here since eight, Miss." She said."Really? Is he looking for me? Okay, thanks." I did nothing but run towards the elevator, and when I reached it, I pressed the up button. When it opened, I was surprised to see Ryker inside the lift, standing with his hands in his pockets. His brows were furrowed earlier, but when he saw me, his face suddenly softened. Was I right, or was I just imagining things? I don't

Chapter 44"Hi-" he greeted us, his voice barely a whisper. His gaze flitted between me and the child. While holding the hands of my daughter, didn't react, probably wondering who she was talking to."S-Sir Ryker," I managed to say, but my voice barely whispered. My heart pounded with nervous anticipation at this unexpected encounter between the father and the daughter.He looked down at Freya, his brow furrowed. He was still holding a teddy bear in his right hand and another one in a paper bag.He looked up at me. "Y-your daughter?" I slowly nodded, and he did the same, as if he understood what I said. "You have a child." He repeated, not as a question.Should I tell him now? Should I introduce him to his real daughter? Is five years, turning six, was enough time for her to meet her father, who now stands before me?"How old is she?" My throat felt dry, and I couldn't swallow."F-five, sir…""Five years old." He bent down his knees to be level up with my daughter. "Hi! What is your

CHAPTER 43"Bye bye mama. Take care always. We love you," Freya said to me. They didn't have school today, so they were at home."Bye baby, see you later okay. Behave yourselves at home and don't be naughty to mama and papa and of course-""Don't talk to strangers.""Right, call Lola mama or Lolo papa. Don't go with anyone you don't know, okay?" I reminded the kids. This is what I always tell them when I'm not around. It's dangerous these days, you never know who's good and who's going to do something bad, even if you know them."Yes mama, thank you ," she said and kissed my cheek again. I showered her face with kisses, making her giggle."Let's go see your twin so I can say goodbye. I might be late for the office," I said, and we walked hand-in-hand towards the bedroom. I left my things in the living room.As we opened the door, we saw Maynard still fast asleep. He had been working on a project last night, so he woke up late. I went to the side of the bed and kissed him on the forehe

Chapter 42"Aubree, is there something wrong?""Papa," I shifted my position so Papa could sit on our long wooden bench outside our mini garden."Nothing, Papa." I just said."You're my child, I can feel it even if I don't know what's on your mind, but I know something's bothering you. You can talk to me, I'll listen." He said, stroking my shoulder."Papa…" I put my head on Papa's shoulder. Mama was inside, cooking lunch. I didn't go to the office today because I didn't want to see Ryker, even for just today."Papa—""Hmm…""What if… for example… when the time comes or the day comes when my children want to know their real father, I don't know what to do, Papa. I'm scared." I confessed."Scared of what?"l"That he might take the kids away from me, Papa. I'm scared he'll take away my rights to my children." I said."Why would he do that? Is it because they're richer than us? Is it because they're influential people? Kid, we may not have money, but we have principles and rights that we
