CHAPTER 36: MY CHECK-UP
I had been pregnant for five months already and today is my schedule again for a check-up, but for me, today is special because today is the day of my ultrasound, so it means this is the day I will know the gender of my baby. I woke up early, immediately took a shower, dressed up, and ate very quickly so that we could leave early.
I am very excited to go to the clinic already. If only I could fly to the hospital, I would, but I'm not a wonder woman, so it's impossible for me to do it, and do you know what else excites me more? It's because today, my husband will accompany me. Usually, when I went to the clinic, his younger brother Ethan was always with me because my husband was always busy in the company, but I still understand him. That's why when he offered to come with me today, I jump for joy only onto my mind for the reason that he wants to know the gender of our baby personally.
He even took a leave of ab
CHAPTER 37: ETHAN EAVESDROPEthan immediately went upstairs to go to his older brother’s room. An hour had passed, but his older brother hadn’t come down to the room yet. He felt so sorry for his wife that had been waiting in the living room.She is pregnant and can be irritated easily, so it shouldn’t have been waiting there for too long for him. Even he was upset with his older brother. For him, it’s very selfish. His older brother wanted Alyssa will always be the one to understand him in everything.Sometimes, Ethan wishes for heaven that he would have been Alyssa’s husband so that she would not suffer and be hurt, but fate seems very cruel to him and Alyssa. For him, it was as if Alyssa was being used to being introduced by heaven to make his life miserable. Yes, it is true; his life has been miserable since he met Alyssa and loved her. What is Ethan used to think that just a pity, now it’s more
CHAPTER 38: THE GENDERI was eager to eat the foods I picked from the refrigerator. I was about to empty everything when I suddenly heard Ethan's voice calling me so worried, so I stopped what I was eating for fear that something terrible might had happened, and I hurried to the living room.As I stepped to the living room, I also responded to his call. "Ethan, I'm here; what's wrong?" until I came to the living room.When Ethan saw me, he immediately hugged me tightly. I could feel his hug as if there was something that he seems to be feeling that he can't tell me. "What's wrong?" I asked him wondered why he was so emotional today?"Nothing, I just thought you were gone," he said."Why would I be lost? Didn't I say I'll wait?" I chuckled as I respond to him.He let go of his hug to me and asked, "Wait, what are you doing in the kitchen?""I felt hungry waiting, so I looked for food in the ref
CHAPTER 39: LEONARD'S CHOICELeonard was stunned by what his brother said, but he was not able to counteract it. Everything he said was correct. He had to decide which of the two he should choose.He knew it wasn't easy because one of them would get hurt, but it would be better for him to do it today before everyone gets caught, but before he could make his plan for today, he called his girlfriend Elena again to let her know that he would accompany her to the hospital. He lifted his right hand, holding his cellphone near to his face just as he could see the letters on it. He redialed his girlfriend's number and started calling it. "Ring, ring, ring…!" The phone in the other line rang."Hello," the woman in the other line answered."Wait for me; I'll go with you today," Leonard said.Then he turned off the call.*****He stood up on his seat, walks towards the direction of his walk-in closet. Then he
CHAPTER 40: HE BROKE UP WITH HERLeonard and his girlfriend have returned to her condo. She already had finished her checkup, and for God’s sake, the baby she was bearing was okay. Leonard himself opened the door of his girlfriend’s unit and escorted her inside.She smiled at him as she walked inwards, holding his right arm. He smiled at her immensely, but the smile he returned to her was unreal. He was not in the mood to smile at her back, but it forced him to smile at it so that it would not get angry.When they were inside the condo unit, Leonard made Elena sit on the sofa. Then he went to her kitchen to get a glass of water and gave it to her.“Thanks, babe,” she said to him with a smile.Leonard replied with a smile. Then he sat down next to her with his hands clasped between each other. Leonard looked Elena in the eye seriously and took a deep breath. “Elena,” he ut
CHAPTER 41: HIS SECRETARY'S BETRAYALAlyssa and Ethan have returned to their home. Ethan immediately informed his grandfather of the good news. It thrilled the old Master Guang to know that the baby in Alyssa’s womb is in good condition. Especially when he found out that Alyssa was pregnant with a boy, so Master Guang had a shower party to reveal.Out of excitement, Master Guang immediately called his daughter Jing Chin (the aunt of Leonard and Ethan). He was standing in the living room. “Jing, my dear daughter, please come here for a moment. I have something important to announce to you.”Leonard’s aunt immediately approached her father. “Yes, dad, what do you want to announce?” she asked Master Guang.“Finally, Alyssa found out the gender of her pregnancy, and it’s a boy. Hahaha, hahaha…! I’m so happy, Jing, that God blessed me again of a great-grandson.” Mast
CHAPTER 42: THE ACCIDENTEverything is ready for the baby shower. They held it in one of the most famous hotels in their city. Leonard’s aunt went to the hotel first. She is the one who prepares everything at Master Guang’s command.Ethan and Alyssa are also getting ready for the party, while Leonard could not accompany her. Because the paper works stuck him in the office and they already talked to each other that Alyssa will go to the hotel first to be accompanied by Ethan.Ethan was in the living room standing as he watches Alyssa slowly descend the stairs wearing a powder blue sleeveless knee-length maternity dress. Her beauty suddenly stunned him.Alyssa wonders why Ethan’s eyes didn’t blink at all while staring at her, so she waved her hand at his face. “Hey, are you okay?” she asked.Ethan was back to himself. “Oh, sorry, I’m okay,” he responded. &
CHAPTER 43: GONELeonard is ready to go to the hotel. Suddenly someone knocks on his door. “Come in,” he commanded, but it still didn’t stop knocking. He felt irritated, so he approached the one who knocks on his door to open it, and when he opens it, a smiling man appeared in front of him who marks the deep dimples on his cheeks.Leonard smiled back at it. “When did you back?” Leonard asked the man.“Hmm, six months ago,” the man said.“Six months ago?” Leonard wrinkled his forehead. “But why did you show up just now? You are something.” Leonard smirks at it.“Won’t you even let me into your office first, before you interrogate me?” the man asked.Leonard cleared the way. The man he was talking to immediately entered his office. It was James Torres, the acquaintance of Alyssa. It turned out to be his best friend. “I’ve
Chapter 44: THE TRUTH JAMES FOUND OUTThey transferred Alyssa to the V.I. P room. She still sounded asleep as Leonard sat next to Alyssa, waiting for her to wake up. Ethan went home to get dress and rest at the same time.About a few minutes later, James entered the room. He approached Leonard. "Leonard, your grandpa, and aunt are here. Should I let them in?" he asked Leonard."No, the noise might awake Alyssa. I'll just go outside. Please, watch her for me. I'll just come out." Leonard begged. James nodded to Leonard. Then Leonard went outside the room.James took place the seat where Leonard sat earlier. He looked at the woman who was his best friend claimed as his wife. When his eyes suddenly widened at what he saw.It was the girl he saw from the road soaking wet in the rain five months ago. The woman he fell in love at first sight with and the woman he can't forget. 'No, this can't be. I think I’m just imagini
CHAPTER 49: THE BLESSINGAlyssa was already lying on her bed and about to sleep when suddenly her grandma knock on her door. Even though she was lazy to get up because of her unceasing crying next to her grandma earlier, it still forced her to stand up.She opened her door. “What is it, grandma?” she asked.“You have a visitor.” Her grandma said.She was wondering why she had a visitor when she never expects someone. “Who was it, grandma?” she asked.Her grandma grabbed her and said, “Don’t ask anymore. Just come with me.” She did nothing but follow her.When they arrived in the living room, her eyes widened at what she saw. Her heart suddenly beats so fast. As if she couldn’t move. Her grandmother motioned Leonard to come over to her and left the living room to give them space.“W-What are you doing
CHAPTER 48: HAPPY ENDING OR NOT?I saw him already dressed. My husband would surely go to the office. I wanted to approach him, but I did not have the strength to do it. I have no face to look at him, and I am ashamed of him especially, with Leonard’s brother, Ethan. For me, it was my fault why we lost our child. If I had just followed what Ethan told me. I would not have run over by the car. I am to blame for everything, but that is not what happened.I could see that my husband seemed to blame himself. I feel it. Every night in our sleep, I wake up hearing my husband crying. He was crying in his dream. Apologizing to our son, and worst of all, he always spoke to it wishing that it should be him. He should be the one who disappears, which further causes pain in my heart that seems to be slowly crushing my heart into pieces. It comes to where I could no longer breathe.For me, I am a useless wife. I couldn’t sleep every ni
CHAPTER 47: THE EVICTIONThree days after, Alyssa had returned to their home, grieving. Alyssa never leaves the room and always cries. She could hardly eat and could not accept the loss of her child.Leonard could do nothing but watch his sad wife in the distance. They never talk to each other anymore, and so did Ethan before Ethan, used to approach Alyssa easily.Alyssa seems to have a change after the tragedy.Leonard is already wearing an executive suit to go to the office today because it is the day that he will evict his aunt’s son, Ru. Just a few days ago, it was the one who fills his position temporarily, since that day, many shareholders and workers had complained about it because of its wrong policy.Today, he will also put an end to his aunt’s evil deed. They found out that this was the mastermind behind the accident of Alyssa and that she used Elena to be her bait from his ex-girlfrie
CHAPTER 46: THE PAINFUL MOMENTLeonard was about to enter Alyssa’s room when someone called on his cellphone, so he didn’t enter first and answer the call. “Hello,”The man on the other line told him something. It was his trusted bodyguard, Joey. “Okay, Joey, thanks for the info.” And he immediately dropped the call.He searched in his contact list and was about to call her ex-girlfriend (Elena) when suddenly his phone rang and coincidentally it is Elena. He answered it immediately. “Hello, why did you call?” he asked her, pretending that he didn’t know the reason when in fact; he already had a clue why it called him. He just wanted to know if his ex-girlfriend will tell the truth.“Leonard, can we talk in person? I have a confession to you.” She begged.“Whatever it is, tell me here on the phone. Don’t you worry; I will listen to everything yo
CHAPTER 45: THE TRUTH BEHIND THE ACCIDENTElena was inside her color black car. She gets her cellphone that was inside the glove box of her car. Elena wanted to call someone. She dialed the number and immediately put the cellphone on her right ear.“Hello,” the number she was calling answered. It was a voice of a woman.“I was in the parking lot, as you instructed me. What now? Have you ever called his wife to see me? Did you tell her I was pregnant and Leonard was the father? Is she going to come here, or maybe you're just fooling me and waiting for her for nothing? I’m a busy person! I don’t want my time to be wasted!” she said to the person she was talking to on the phone.“Relax, my dear. Don’t worry, everything is in line with my plans, and she's on her way there.” The person she was talking to on the other line answered. Then she immediately dropped the c
