The day passed like a wind. Graduation day arrived for Styx and me, and we both received honors.

Life became hard for me, but everything was paid off, even the tears I shed, because I saw my Mom smile at me, even though it didn't reach her eyes. I nearly sobbed that day; Styx couldn't calm me down while we sat in a restaurant. He kept saying he was proud of me, as well as Mom. Even if she didn't say it, I knew Mama was happy for me. I just hope that one day she can finally tell me that she's happy I am her daughter.

"Two months, give me two months to prepare everything. I can't wait to marry you," Styx kissed the back of my hand while resting his head on my lap. We were inside his apartment, resting. We had just finished crying because we saw that we passed the board exam. I cried again because I couldn

    Note: The next chapters will address delicate issues that may elicit strong emotions, such as sexual harassment, violence, and death. Please proceed with caution and at your own risk.Is it really possible that there would be a time where you couldn't find any reason to live?It was so tiring that you had to wake up just to sleep again, or open your eyes just to close them again and hope that they won't open ever again.I lost myself while loving my man. I didn't regret any decisions I made for him, but I regret falling out of love with myself and forgetting that I deserve a love more than I could offer to someone, and that is self-love."Eat, you have to gain your energy back after being comatose for 1 year."I stared blankly at the man beside me. How could I believe them that the baby beside me is my son? What is that? I just lost consciousness and suddenly I gave birth? Didn't I carry the baby? How did the months pass without my knowledge? I woke up one day and realized that I was

    "Child, stay here for the meantime. There's no need for you to come with me. Don't worry, I'll have my bodyguards with me."I shook my head vehemently. I didn’t want to let him leave without me. I wasn't comfortable when he was out of my sight. Maybe this is because of what happened two weeks ago.He sighed and reached for my hand. "Daughter, I can't always be by your side. I need to take care of our business."I shook my head and glanced at my child, who was quietly sleeping in bed. There was a pillow beside him so he wouldn't notice if I left. He cried whenever he couldn’t feel me beside him.I was thankful nothing bad happened to my child that day. Because if something did, I would never forgive Styx and the people who did this. We might not be acting now, but we’re all thinking about the next steps."Where's Duex?" I asked after the silence. I moved away slightly from Dad and stared at his wrinkled hand. His gunshot wound on his shoulder was healing, while Duex was still recoverin

    There will be times when you can't handle the pain and you decide to give up. Sometimes, we can easily say that to survive calamities, we should hold our ground and trust in Him.How can I do that?If the trust I’ve had since day one has led me not only to destruction but also to losing myself. In trying to figure out His plans for me, I lost my way back and can’t find myself again.I don't regret the time I chose to entrust my future to Him, but I regret thinking that He had a better plan for my life when instead, He gave me the most painful experience a person can get and a lifetime of pain that I don't think I will ever heal from.I found a home and love in a person who was initially a stranger to me. He helped me stand after I stumbled in thick mud, held my hand, and supported my back when I felt like I was carrying the world on my thin body. He loves me as if I'm his own daughter, something I didn't feel from my mom. Something was taken away from me as if I don't deserve to feel

    "How are you feeling? Are you okay now?" I turned to Inang when she entered the room. As soon as I woke up, all the events from earlier rushed back to me. It's real. I am not dreaming, and he's real. I don't know how I managed to stay alive after our encounter. I lost consciousness earlier, and I don't know where he is now. Zenith, on the other hand, was sleeping soundly next to me."Did he leave?" I asked weakly. Inang sighed heavily as she sat beside me."He's still in his car, waiting for you. It seems like the man truly has done you wrong," she said. I smiled bitterly, feeling the tears well up in my eyes.I looked at my son, who was hugging my pillow comfortably. "I don't know what to do anymore, Inang. I want to run away, but I know it would be pointless because he will still find us. Can I ask for a favor?" Inang's eyes were dim as she looked at me."Please take care of Zenith if I disappear. I know I won't last long, but please don't neglect Zenith." I bit my lower lip to stifl

    "Dear, you should eat first. I've noticed you look so weak since last night. You might get sick," Inang noted while arranging the fruits on a table beside Zenith's bed.Styx had moved Zenith to a private room. At first, I didn't agree, but he pleaded with me, saying it was for Zenith.I didn't know why he was acting this way towards me now. Our eyes often met, but he quickly looked away as if my gaze was burning him.He left a while ago and hasn't returned yet. Zenith is asleep and resting after taking his medicine."I'm okay, Inang. You can go home now and rest. I'll take care of the hospital bills. Len-Len talked to Aling Isang and she agreed to lend me money to help with the bill."She frowned, clearly displeased with what I said."Isn't that man the one who moved your child to a private room?"I nodded and bit the inside of my cheek. "I can pay the bill even without him. We don't need him." Inang sighed and placed her hand on mine.She opened her mouth as if to say something, but

    "Mommy, where's Daddy?" I paused folding clothes when Zenith spoke. He was sitting at the edge of the bed, playing with his feet raised on the bed."I don't know, child." He pouted and frowned. I really didn’t know. After Styx brought us home when Zenith was discharged from the hospital, he said he would leave for a while. It didn’t matter to me. I didn’t care if he never came back."I want to see Daddy," he whispered like he didn’t want me to hear it. I sighed and rolled the clothes. I sat beside him and stroked his chubby cheeks. His gentle eyes looked at me, filled with sadness as if he missed his father's presence."Are you angry with Mommy, child?" I asked softly. I looked at him nervously when he didn’t answer, but I was immediately relieved when he smiled at me.He shook his head. "No, Mommy."I breathed a sigh of relief. "Why? Aren't you angry with Mommy because I didn't tell you immediately that he’s your Daddy?" I asked further.He smiled and pinched my cheeks. "Mommy, I know

    I quickly pushed him away and turned around to hide my blushing face. I wanted so badly to scream, but I couldn't let him see me in this state. Even though I felt weak, I tried to continue washing the dishes, but I froze in place when a strong arm wrapped around my small waist and hugged me.I did not move as I remained frozen. His chest touched my back and sent shivers down my spine. He rested his chin on my shoulder and kissed me there. I tried to pull away, but it wasn't enough because of my weakness. His manly scent enveloped me, and his warm hands placed on my body were enough to reach my heart."S-Styx, what are you doing?" I told him and slightly moved."Can we stay like this for a while? I missed you," he sounded tired.I tried to push him again, but he only tightened his embrace. Slowly, I weakened and allowed him to hug me. After a few minutes, he moved on his own. He kissed my neck again and let out a deep sigh."I wish we could stay like this forever, Xhia," he whispered."

    It's been a week since Styx started staying here. I don't know how long he plans to stay, but I have no intention of asking. Our plan to go to the mall yesterday didn't push through because I wasn't feeling well. I spent the whole day locked in my room while Styx sold snacks and balot at night. He also took care of our son."Do you feel okay?" Styx asked and placed a plate full of food on the table. I just nodded and clung tightly to the blanket covering my body. I didn't have a fever, cold, or cough, I just really wasn't feeling well and often felt dizzy. He wanted to take me to the hospital, but it wasn't necessary because it was a minor issue for me."Eat a lot, you need to be healthy for our son." He sat beside me and handed me the food. I didn't say anything because I really didn't have an appetite today. I suddenly felt this way."Where's my son?" He fed me a spoonful of rice and food. I was hesitant at first, but I just shrugged it off.He wiped the sauce from the side of my lip

    "Ma'am, do you have an appointment?" Duex's secretary greeted me. I couldn't miss the way she glanced at me.I raised my brow. It was clear she was new here, as most employees already knew me—not just because I'm the daughter of the former owner, but because I'm the major shareholder of this company. She wasn't hiding, but she also wasn't overly familiar. Only employees and company partners were privy to such details. I handed over leadership to Duex because I needed to focus on my plans with Styx back then, but now, if it's true that Duex was the cause of my and my son's suffering, I won't hesitate to reclaim what's mine and make him pay for all the harm he's caused."You won't like it if I introduce myself," I replied coldly, giving her a stern look. She smiled nervously but persisted."Ma'am, an appointment is required—""Let her in." I was surprised when someone spoke behind me. His familiar scent immediately enveloped me. I kept my eyes on his secretary, trying to maintain my com

    I woke up with swollen eyes and a pounding headache. I couldn't remember what happened last night. It was exhausting trying to piece it all together to understand what he said. I just wanted to bury myself in bed and let everything happen, but I couldn't allow that. I have a child who needs me. Plus, Styx's statement that I'm pregnant added to my determination to confirm it before taking any risky steps.I got up from bed and lifted the blanket off my son. He was sleeping soundly, cuddled with a pillow. I kissed his forehead and caressed his cheek before heading to the bathroom to freshen up.After bathing, I dressed in a two-piece suit and applied light makeup. I made sure the blush on my face was subtle before briefly styling my hair and slipping on two-inch heels. Since Zenith was still asleep, I waited for him to wake up before leaving. I planned to take him along since there would be no one to watch over him."Mommy? Where are you going?" He rubbed his eyes and looked at me with

    "When we return to Manila, will anything change?" Styx's question caught me off guard.Will it? I mean, I've grown accustomed to his presence, and I know my son is the same way. It won't be easy for me to readjust, but whatever happens, happens. It's frustrating how quickly tears welled up as I struggled to fit Zenith's things into a bag. Our journey back to Manila starts now. I don't know what life awaits us there, but I want to face it head-on. Staying here and hiding won't solve anything.Things are okay between Styx and me now, and I know he has no intention of hurting me or our son."Maybe," I simply replied and continued packing.I felt his presence beside me, so I stopped and looked at him blankly. His eyes were full of emotion, almost pleading. I tried to avoid it, but he gently held my cheeks and turned my face towards him.A tear fell from my eye. I quickly wiped it away and looked away from him."Do you still love me?" he asked, his voice breaking. I bit my lower lip and av

    I began to walk in the field of green and fresh grass as I stared at my son. He giggled and wrinkled his nose while holding a bouquet of flowers, with his father beside him, staring at me intensely and not averting his gaze.My cheeks flushed. I didn't say anything and continued walking until I stopped in front of them. I turned my gaze away, feeling nervous because of his presence. The beautiful view of the blue sky perfectly complemented the greenery around us.Styx was wearing his usual office attire, which made him even more intimidating and attractive. I gulped, clearing the lump in my throat, and held my breath when he touched my delicate hand."Beautiful," he murmured, bringing my hand to his lips and kissing it lovingly."Thanks," I replied, even though I felt the whole damn zoo inside my abdomen."Mommy, you're pretty." My attention was drawn to my son when he spoke. I smiled at him, tears welling up in my eyes."Thank you, mi amor."Styx pulled me down to a spread-out fabric

    "Mommy! Please let's ride there! Daddy, please!" I chuckled as I glanced at our child, who was being incredibly persistent. I couldn't blame him; it was our first time back at the theme park, and he was beyond excited, unable to sit still."Sure, but let's walk around first. Is there anything you want to buy?" Styx asked Zenith, holding our child's left hand. I held onto Zenith's right hand tightly, afraid he might get lost in the crowd."I want cotton candy!" Styx bought Zenith cotton candy and insisted I take some too, even though I initially refused because I didn't eat it. He widened his eyes in persuasion."Which rides do you want to go on?" he asked our child. Zenith finished the cotton candy and grinned widely."I want to ride the carousel horse," he said excitedly. Styx glanced at me, so I raised an eyebrow at him. Crossing my arms, I stared at him blankly."Go with your son," I murmured. He furrowed his brows and looked at our son."Why me?""Why not you?" I retorted.He frown
