Loid's parents visited their house. Loid and Carina happily welcomed Larry and Berna. Berna had a big smile when she saw her granddaughter looking at them, smiling. She took it and loaded it."Hey! I miss my granddaughter so much. How are you baby?” while smiling at his grandson.Carina was smiling as she looked at the mother-in-law. They went inside to discuss their daughter's upcoming birthday. Carina suggested baptism."Mom and dad, I would like to suggest to you about baby Carmela's baptism. Can it be combined with her birthday? It's like an expense."The couple looked at each other, and Loid was also silent."Why Carina? That's why we spent several thousand on our grandchild. Why does it have to go together?" Berna said.Carina remained silent as if she was slapped because she was poor, so she had no right to suggest what she was thinking."Mom, that's not what Carina meant. Maybe she just wants it to be an occasion because she mentioned to me that her friend is coming home from
CHAPTER 17 THE UNEXPECTED SINThe cameras that Carina secretly placed in the corners of their house remained on the monitor. But Carina couldn't watch the scenes because her mother called her. So she goes down first.Evelyn adjusted herself to make Loid more attracted to her, and she knocked on the room as if she was going to ask her employer something.Loid wondered who knocked on the door. He opened it, but Loid was no longer dressed in the top.He was surprised when he saw Evelyn.“Oh! Evelyn, why? Do you need anything?”"Oh! Sir, where are you going?” Evelyn said."Why do you ask? Do I have to say goodbye to you? You are not my wife." Loid answered.Evelyn was shocked by Loid's answer."Oh! Okay, I'm sorry. Sir, your body is beautiful."Evelyn came close to Loid and touched his body and chest. Loid suddenly felt his body heat."Evelyn, what are you doing?""Sir, why are you so handsome? Ma'am Carina is lucky that she married someone like you and is a billionaire. I've been dreamin
Carina and Loid are already in the room. Loid does not like the way his wife treats him. So he asked."Hon, I've been noticing for a while now that you're getting colder towards me. Is there a problem?""Oh! Nothing, I'm just not in the mood. I have a headache. Maybe I'm about to have my period." Carina answered."But hon, I know when your menstruation is coming. You're not that strong. Maybe you have other reasons.""Can you Loid? I'm begging you won't be asked me again. Because I'm tired, I need to rest."Carina had already laid down on their bed. It is not silent."I know if you're mad at me because it took so long to get here. You probably already know that I'm lying because you called mom, and she told you I'm not at our house yet. I'm sorry if I lied. I understand why you treat me like that, but I hope you can forgive me." Loid said sadly.Carina still didn't speak. She knew the real reason it took him so long to get to their house. It hurt for her that Loid only confided in her
Evelyn still gets upset every time she sees Carina. She feels she should be there in Carina's position. Evelyn is the type of person who can't be bothered if there's nothing wrong to do. That's why she planned the upcoming birthday of the one she cared for that would not be successful. She has to do something. She called her sister Karen. To go tomorrow to his employer's house. She does not say goodbye as if she owns the house.Carina and Loid's family are busy. The staff they hired as catering have already arranged the tables and chairs."Hello sister, how are you? Do you know that there is a big party here at my boss’ house? It's their 1-year-old daughter's birthday, so come here tomorrow too.""Are you sure, Evelyn, your boss might be surprised if I go there without an invitation?""Let me be here first. I'll let the guard here at the villa say goodbye. I'll just give him a cigarette and he'll agree.""Are you sure about that? Your boss might be angry that you didn't say goodbye?"
After Patrick ate, he checked his phone and saw that Dina had sent a message. He immediately called because he was worried."Hello babe, I'm sorry I didn't answer you right away because we were still eating and it took a long time to finish because we were still talking.""It's okay babe, are you in the Philippines yet?""Yes, babe, we just arrived. How about you?”"Yes, I'm here too. I came this morning.”“Oh! Really? Our flights are almost at the same time.""Haha yes! I miss you, babe.”"I miss you, too, babe. I'll see you after my cousin's event. So that we can also go for a walk."“Oh! I like that. Or you can visit us here in Batangas."“Oh! Really! I want that in the province.” Patrick answered."Alright, oh! He's fine. Maybe you're still busy. I just updated if your flights are okay." Dina said.“Oh! Bro, mom has been looking for you for a while because auntie and uncle are already here." Said the woman on the other line."Who is that, babe?”"Oh! Pia, my twin sister, because o
The birthday party has already started. Everyone is happy. Loid sent a message to Patrick to inform him not to go out.Dina was at another table with her family and Carina’s family. Because at the other table is Loid’s family.“Oh! Mom, Dina was my best friend in London when I was working there. We share the apartment and it’s super smart. Auntie Deza is Dina’s mother, and Danilo is their youngest brother. They are three, the other brother who died in a car accident, along with Dina’s father.” Carina’s story.“Oh! I’m sorry to hear that, Deza. Nice to meet you!”“Oh! Auntie, Mommy Cora is my mom, and Carlos and Caleb are my brothers.” Introduction to Carina.“Oh! Nice to meet you all. It’s good that our children got to know each other. My daughter is no longer homesick in London.” Deza said.“Haha! You also said I am also very close to my daughter because since her father died in a car accident, she has been working hard for us and became the breadwinner. It was lucky that she met Loi
The Taylor family immediately rushed to the hospital.While Deza and Danilo, as well as Carina's family, wondered why they were walking so fast."Excuse me, son!" Carina's mother called. "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry? The party isn't over yet, right?""Mom, we have to go to the hospital because Loid called. He said he took Patrick to the hospital because his chest was tight and he couldn't breathe. He doesn't know what the reason is." Carina said worriedly."Is that so, all right? I will take care of Carmela. Go there. I'll just take him home, then you can pass him later.""Okay mom, thank you. Ah! Your gifts, mom. I'll just send it to Ricky, so there's no problem." Carina said."Okay, son. Take care. Just let me know how Patrick is doing."Carina left with Loid's family."What happened to Patrick, Cora?"“Oh! He said he couldn't breathe. Loid took him to the hospital."“Oh! Is that so?! Poor Patrick. Oh! He, Cora, we will go first. Please tell Carina again thank you for
Carina spoke to the person assigned to monitor the CCTV. They looked at it and she was surprised by what she saw. Her hunch was right. She suddenly felt angry. She asked the management for a copy, but they said not to give it to Patrick's family.Carina thought that the woman who wanted to destroy their family had committed many sins.They got home, Loid was waiting outside. Awaiting her to come home.“Oh! Hon, why are you still out here?”"Where did you go, hon? You know I'm worried. You didn't even go with Carmela." Loid said."Excuse me, hon, I just took something from our house.""Oh! Is that so? I thought, where did you go?""Oh! Is Carmela asleep yet?”"Yes hon, come on let's go."They entered the living room they saw Evelyn was there watching TV and eating. Feeling like a homeowner.“Oh! Evelyn, why are you still awake? Go to sleep because you'll be watching over Carmela tomorrow. I have a walk tomorrow." I said to Evelyn.I want to confront her because I don't want my plan to
Dina pulled me out of the store because she said we were going to eat. It's a fancy restaurant where almost all the customers there are rich. I was just observing the surroundings while waiting for Dina to come from the washroom. Opposite that restaurant, there is a cafeteria. I saw a woman and two men. A woman and a man sit next to each other while a man sits in front of them. The man next to her is familiar to me. They were so close to each other that's why I just shook my head. That girl is so bad that she doesn't even have any delicacy even when they are facing a man, too. I seem to see that man in front of them. Yes, he is the guy I bumped into earlier, and Dina knows him."Wait, I think I know that guy next to the girl. Is that Alfred?" I couldn't be bothered by what I saw. Who was that woman? Why was she holding my husband's arm like that?"Hey! Carina, you've been looking out there for a while. Who is that you're looking at?Noticed that, Dina was surprised by what sh
We were stunned when Alfred and Carmela entered with their brother Danilo. “Mama, thank God that you are awake. We are apprehensive.” Carmela hugged Carina. “Yes, child, Mama will always be strong for you. Dear, one day will come when I will disappear from the world. Don’t be sad! Remember that Mama just went abroad and it will take a long time to return. Remember that I will do this for your future.” I saw how sad Carina was. Her tears started to fall and I couldn’t stop my eyes from shedding tears, too. I was saddened by what my friend was saying.“Mom, what are you talking about? You’re strong, aren’t you? Doc Danilo said it’s just stress. So don’t worry, Papa and I won’t stress you out, right Pa?” Alfred answered. Very deep in the heart, Carmela and Alfred probably don’t know about the pain. I just cried because I didn’t let them know. While my brother Danilo was silent next to me. He is also sad about my friend’s condition because he took care of it.
“Hey! Carmela, you are very pretty with your outfit.” “It’s not Jenny, it’s you!” “Yes Carmela, you look gorgeous.” “You’re bubbling again Jacob.” “Yeah! I’m telling the truth, ah! Can we talk for a moment? Just the two of us, Jenny. Will you excuse us?” “Okay bro, have fun with Carmela. I’ll go see our other classmates first.” Jacob and I went to a hidden place in their house, a secret place like his room. We talked there, and he hugged me tightly, feeling that he misses me so much and I miss him too. We cherished those times we secretly spent together. While the surroundings were quiet, I suddenly heard the voices of two women. I didn’t hear much of their conversation but only the words “We will blow up later. Let’s just see what Dina’s reaction will be when she finds out.” Dina?! Is she the Dina we met at the gate with a man? What are their plans for Ma’am, Dina? “Jacob?! Did you hear what they were saying?” But when I looked
At the hospital... "Hi! Danilo, how are you?" “Oh! Sister, why are you here? Didn't I tell you that I will call you to pick you up? You know that your situation is delicate. I was about to call you because I just finished checking up on my patient and she just left." “Really?! Maybe she's the one I met in the lobby earlier. By the way, what did she ask you to consult? Aren't you a neurosurgeon?” "Oh! Actually this is confidential because we have a policy at the hospital that we never share the information and results of our patients unless the one who’s asking is the patient family." "Oh! Is that so? I'm sorry because I'm just curious about that girl. Is it not possible to know her name? Even just a name. Please…I couldn't stand my sister so I told her the name of my patient. But I wondered why she seemed sad and depressed when I told my sister nothing but my patient's name. "Ha! How many years have you known Danilo?"I wondered why sister asked me that question
Dina has returned home to the apartment she rents. She still couldn’t get out of her mind the girl she had bumped into earlier in the hospital.Is Carina the girl I bumped into? But impossible! It’s been a few years and we don’t know the case about the disappearance of Carina and her daughter. But it is also possible that someone saw them in the sea and rescued them. It is necessary to investigate her and Carina. I will not stop until I can confirm who that girl is. My phone suddenly rang. An unknown number, I don’t want to answer because it has been called several times. “Hello! Who’s this please?“ No one answered. I was nervous. Who else has scared me? A few minutes later, I heard a woman’s grunt and a man’s voice. I can’t think of anything but my husband and friend in London. Those two are pigs. It annoys me. Just wait for me to give birth and I will come back to you, have fun and enjoy the happy days and when I return all the happy days that you have now, I will replace them
I approached Papa Alfred’s table. I also saw Sir Loid there. I was nervous. What would I say to Papa?“Oh! My daughter, what are you doing here at the mall? Who is with you?“Alfred? Is Carmela your daughter?”“Yes, sir Loid, I’m sorry I couldn’t happily mention her to you. She is the one you bought as a gift at her graduation.”“Really! So, you mean she is a classmate of my children? But she works at my company.”I suddenly broke out in a very cold sweat, as if a lot of ice had been poured on my body. I was already awake, knowing that Papa would be angry with me because I didn’t tell him and Mama that I was working at Taylor’s company because Mama didn’t want to. I don’t even know what Mama’s reason is, but I’m sure she will preach to me when Papa comes home. I can see on Papa’s face that he is disappointed with me, but he is probably holding back because Sir Loid is in front of us.“Oh! Alright, Pa and Sir Loid, I’ll go first. Mama is waiting for me downstairs.”“Wait! Are you with
“You’re the one I’m asking why you’re vacationing in the Philippines without my knowledge.”“When did my opinion and decision in life concern you? Don’t you care about me anymore?”“It doesn’t mean we didn’t just get along, but it’s only natural for a married couple to not get along sometimes, but I’m not saying that you can make a decision that I don’t know about.”“So, you want to control my life? For your info Patrick, we are only married on paper. But that doesn’t mean that you control my life. We have our own decisions in life, so you don’t care where I am now and when I will return to London.” Annoyed, said Patrick.He just kept quiet. Maybe he thought I had a point. I don’t plan to go back to London. I want to give birth in the Philippines. But I’m having a hard time now that my belly has grown a bit and I’m about to give birth.I need to ask my brother for help. I will call him.Danilo is Dina’s youngest brother. They are close to each other and they are the only two siblings.
"Hey! Jacob?! Is that you?” I looked at the woman who called me. "Who are you?!" "Wow, Jacob, you forgot me right away. I'm Rowena, your future fiancée." "What?!" What is this woman saying? "Of course, I'm telling you the truth. We met before when we were still in primary school. I am your father's friend and business partner. We didn't see each other again after that because I was here in America to continue studying. It's good that we went to school together, I'll see you all the time. I'm sure we'll be in the same class." Hey! What kind of woman is this who talks so much I don't even ask. "Okay! I have to go because I will pick up Jenny." “Oh! My best competitor in school was also here." "Yes, why do you have a problem? It's none of your business if she's here too because we're twins. And besides, our parents decided that. So shut up, you're saying a lot, I'm not asking you." I left, knowing that she was embarrassed by what I was saying. I can have you too
“Doc, how is my baby doing?”“Your baby is fine, Mrs. Taylor,”“Doc, just call me Dina. I don’t want to hear that last name.”“Okay, Dina! You just have to be careful because the child’s attachment is weak. I’ll give you some medicine to make him more attached.”“Okay doc, thank you. And doc, please. Please don’t let anyone know that I’m pregnant, especially the Taylor Family.”“If you don’t mind, Dina. Why?”I thought, this doctor is also gossipy.“Oh! I have a reason doc, I hope you respect it.” I told the doctor.“Oh! I’m sorry Dina. I’ll go first. Just don’t forget what I told you.”The doctor left, and I followed him. But he stopped for a moment because someone called him. Because I’m also gossipy, I listened to their conversation. I heard someone named Leah, wait is she my friend Leah? But it’s impossible. What connection do they have with my doctor? I’m still nervous. Maybe he’ll slip and tell the person he’s talking to about me, but I hope not. I hope she’s not my friend Leah.
