Artemis' POVMy lips parted. I'm not really sure of what he was saying but I felt like I knew. I was just forcing myself to think that it's not what I think it is. "What, Baby? I don't understand… Can you enlighten me?” This time he turned to me. I could clearly see the anger from his eyes so I could feel the pain from my chest."I know that you are my biological mother... You... You disgust me... I don't like you to be my mom at all... I hate you..." he said. Tears rolled down from his eyes as he said that. My eyes suddenly become blurry. As if several daggers pierced my chest when I heard what he said. It is more painful to hear it from my son's mouth."I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Baby... Mama didn't stay with you... Forgive me, Anak..." I couldn't stop sobbing and felt the weakness of my knees. I can also see that he started to cry. He stifled every sob. I don't know when he started to know about it but the thought of him hiding the pain killed me. I am his first heartbreak… And I fucki
Artemis' POVWe already went back to Manila. Everyone didn't enjoy Zelo's stay on the private island in Cebu either. Hades and Zelo weren't in the mood to have fun. I also know whose fault is that but I can't just bring myself to regret it.My brother still secretly informed me about Athena. Well, just some coding that we came up with when we were still a child. I'm sure Athena misses me so much, but I've been missing her more these past few days.I can't even bring myself to be sad. Do I even deserve it? "I'll be the one to drop him." I immediately said when they were looking for someone to drop off Hades. "He wants any of the bodyguards except you," Junio said so my face remained with an unwavering expression. But deep down, it hurts me a lot to hear it. Hades really didn't want to see me at all and when it can't be help at all, he treats me like I'm just a ghost. I know that I have no right to be hurt by that because I did that to myself. I left him. Maybe I'm regretting all
Artemis' POV"You don't really pass up any opportunity, huh? You are really pathetic," she whispered to me so my facial expression didn't change. I'm here in Zelo's office now. It means I'll be starting to work. She was even more irritated because I didn't even move, so she rolled her eyes many times before she turned to Zelo."Come on, Babe, let's go now. We should shop together so we can wear a couple of clothes for Mama's birthday," Ms. Yu said to Zelo and she even tried to reach out to his arm. I looked at her hand which stayed on Zelo's skin for a while until I looked up to their face. I met Zelo's eyes. I didn't know if he was looking at me or what. A corner of his lips lifted slightly before he turned to Ms. Yu."Alright, Babe, let's do that." Hades is not here now but my chest feels heavy. I don't know why something seems to pinch my heart once again. I just bit my lip hard."What are you still doing standing there? We are going to the mall now. You are one of our guards, rig
Artemis' POV“Why don't you hold this? So there's something you could do," Ms. Yu said to me."Stop being rude, Angel," Zelo said, his eyes still on me. I just took the paper bag from Ms. Yu."Just give it to the staff, they will put it in the car," Zelo said to me as he tried to take the paperbag from my hand but I immediately pulled it away from him."It's fine, Mr. President. I'll think of it as one of my extra jobs," I said coldly, my voice still formal before I moved a few inches away from him. I immediately saw his lips parted, he looked at me for a while so I immediately looked around.I should really mind my distance especially since I heard that Ms. Yu. and him will be married anytime soon. Ms. Yu said to the person she was talking to earlier, that they are just fixing something and maybe in the next year or months, the wedding will finally happen. I feel disgusted just by the thought that I'm liking some
Artemis' POVWhen we got back, I only looked at Zelo when needed. I'm just now realizing that it's hard when you're your ex's bodyguard.We are back in the office now and he has gone back to his job. Sometimes our eyes meet but we don't really say anything to each other.After a while, someone knocked outside so I just opened the door."Good evening, Ms. Bodyguard!” Mr. Juan Cloud greeted me with a smile. Even if it's already late at night, his energy is still high. I let out a small smile and greeted him back."Aren't you going to double-check me?" He looked at Zelo's place with a teasing grin. I think guards outside already check if he has a weapon with him or what but it's okay to double check too so that's what I did. I was still in his arms when I heard a crash from Zelo's table."No need for that, Junio already checked him thoroughly," Zelo said coldly, making Mr. Juan Cloud laugh.
Artemis' POVAthena immediately pulled herself away from me before frowning at her father."Why?""Can you let me finish my term first? We'll all leave after... It's not safe out there..." Zelo said. Athena's cold look remained."Oh, maybe you didn't hear me but Mama and I will be the only ones leaving. We don't need both of you. And if safety was the one you are thinking about. We are safe for years because we aren't involved with you, Mr. President, but fine, since Mama said that she's the reason why we are not safe, it would be okay too if it's just the two of us," Athena said. She held my wrist. I bit my lip hard because Athena's mouth had no brakes at all."So it's fine if it's just the two of you?" Hades asked, looking at her coldly."Yes! Once everything is done, we will really leave. Sorry for ruining your peaceful life.” Athena said sarcastically."What did you do? I heard how you always shout at my Mom while pushing her away! Why didn't you just come with your Mommy?” Athena
Artemis' POV"You look stunning," Mr. Juan Cloud said to me with a smile. I only smiled slightly before walking with him. We are now going to Ms.'s family party. Yu.Zelo and Hades went with Ms. Yu, they were already there. Zelo was arguing with me earlier. He wants me to go with them. If our child didn't call him, he wouldn't follow them at all. He's forcing what he wants.These past few days we fought like cats and dogs. He's so annoying. I try to avoid talking to him, but he's always found something we would fight about.After a while, Mr. Juan Cloud and I rode in his car. He has a bearable presence and he is not that hard to talk with.He also talked about the reason why he chose me as his date tonight. He is forced to marry one of their business partners but as he doesn't want to, he wants to bring a date to prove his points to his parents."Thank you for helping me with this one. I really owe y
Artemis' POV"Who's that girl, Juan Cloud? Do you really intend to embarrass us here?” Mr.Juan Cloud's Mommy asked hostilely when we got close to their table. He pouted before introducing me to his parents but when his eyes landed on the woman with elegant movements, he looked at her with raised eyebrows but the woman remained silent. It looks like she's the girl his parents want for him.If I were his parent too I would probably want her for my son. She's pretty and looks like she was really composed the whole time. She looks like a doll with her long hair, fair complexion, red lips, and cat-like eyes. I wonder why Mr. Juan Cloud wouldn't want to marry her.“Good evening.” She was the first to greet me and smiled slightly. She looks so nice. I whispered to Mr. Juan Cloud.“You don't like her? You have no taste if you aren't interested in her." I laughed a little when I whispered to Mr. Juan Cloud. Mr. Juan Cloud just pouted th
