CHAPTER 40: HE BROKE UP WITH HER
Leonard 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 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
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 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 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
