Want 66SHE HUFFED and gripped the railings tightly. Oh, God. I fucking hate this feeling. She looked up at the sky and heaved another deep breath. It's past three in the morning, and she's here. Overthinking her worth and her feelings. If she's enough to be valued or not. Everything feels like a stab in her chest. Hearing someone you love getting married and you're not the bride is heart tearing."Oh, God. What have I done wrong in the past to suffer this?" she whispered while looking at the wide sky. Noah tries to talk to her but she declines. She's done. It's all done. If he really did his best to stop the upcoming wedding, he could have done that long enough before she could know this shit. He could have told her. He could have... damn it. Krysie sniffed and looked down on the pool area where the water is glistening against the light from the corners of the pool. It's windy, the water's unstable. The same goes for her mental and emotional health, too. They're not stable. She c
"It's a long day, kiddos. You can rest. Mommy's going to cook something for you," Krysie said right after she finished putting all her luggage in their room. Haven looked around. "Mommy, is this tyu? Wey in No Yoyk?" That made her chuckle. Aw...it seems like her baby still can't believe they're here in the place where she works. Well, they should be. It's funny how she forbade her kids days ago to come with her and now... they're here. They're in New York. Kaizer was the only person who's there and who wishes them well before they left San Diego. They landed in New York at exactly eleven thirteen in the morning. Kaizer's service car takes them to this house which she thinks is owned by her brother. And yeah, he bought this for us."Are we gonna study here from now on?" Hades asked while sitting on the couch. Krysie nodded her head and winked in her babies' direction. "Yes, sugarplums. You're studying here in New York while Mommy's working." "Yehey!" Haven clapped her hands and t
Krysie bit her lip hard and massaged her temples. She checked the time on her wrist and it's almost six now. She's thinking about leaving everything for tomorrow but that would be death for her. Elias will hunt her down and come to where she lives. And it would be freaking early for them to know about her kids! She inhaled deeply and decided to come over. Elias would be mad if she won't show up. Krysie perfectly knows he's not good when mad. So she has no choice but to show up. Krysie took the quickest bath in history and changed. Simple low waist jeans and hanging blouse made her outfit. She combed her hair and tied it into a low ponytail, leaving some strands of hair near her ears. She also paired her outfit with converse shoes for an easy run.Yeah, it's better to be ready than sorry.Her phone from her sling bag rings. Krysie pulled it out to see who's the caller and silently thanked God it was her brother. “Hello, Kaizer…” “How're the kids? How are you?”She bit her lower li
“Seriously? You could have just accepted Kaizer's offer,” Margaux said from the other line. Krysie took a deep breath and bit her lower lip while looking at the sky. It's already eleven in the evening and she just confessed everything to Margaux. “I don't want him to get involved in my life again,” she whispered. “I can't accept the fact that he also hides everything from me. I'm disappointed.” “Just swallow your pride, Girl. Unless you want to be with them?”That silenced her. She's doesn't. Never in her wildest dreams dreamed to be in the siblings' arms again. But she wants to stop depending on her brother. “You can borrow money from him and pay him off afterward. There's no harm in that, Sey. Just try,” Margaux added. She huffed and looked down at the garden. “Should I?” “You should.” Krysie can imagine her friend nodding her head. She closed her eyes as the cold wind blows. The sound of the crickets is indicating her it's already nighttime. Even the cold breeze that's touch
"Mommy, are you leaving us again?" Hades' blue eyes are looking at her with curiosity.This is way harder than I thought it is.Krysie closed her luggage first before facing her son. Havoc is standing near the door frame while Haven is behind Hades. They're looking at her like she had done something wrong which is really wrong.She requested Elias that she'll fly tomorrow instead of today. She's waiting for Margaux to come over even though she wants to bring her babies with her."Mom won't take long there," she said softly and caressed his cheeks."You've been telling us it won't take you long but you always don't arrive, Mom." Havoc interjected.Krysie massaged her temple. "As much as Mommy wants to bring you there, I'm disallowed to do that."That's a freaking lie! I'm only doing this for you not to encounter your father."It won't take you long, yayt?" Haven asked.She forced a smile and spread her arms. "Care you hug Mommy? I'll buy you something after work."Havoc scoffed and tur
She roamed her eyes all over the place. The calming wind is gently blowing through her hair and whispering softly through her ears. She wasn't aware that the sound of waves crashing against the seashore would somehow calm her chaotic mind and heart. It's still six but the tourists who visited this morning were gone in a snap. People who are wandering near the seashore can only be counted by fingers. It's a good thing, though. She finds peace for a moment. Taking a break temporarily from her messy life. She stopped walking and faced the wide ocean. The crew who are working for the Adamson said there will be games for everyone to play to know each other better and that the whole beach resort will be closed temporarily for us to have privacy during team building. “What are you still doing here?” a voice asked from behind. And suddenly, her heart started beating erratically. She almost shivers when the wind suddenly blows. Her fingers turned cold and she was lost for words. It was Ca
“Hey, are you okay? You look tensed.” Olivia tapped her shoulders. She huffed and glanced at her phone again. Margaux's not answering her calls since last night! And she's starting to get paranoid. It's nine in the morning and she can't swallow her food thinking about why that bitch is not answering her calls. It's always out of reach!“Our first activity would start today,” Trixie said and shrugged. “I just hope it's interesting. And I hope too that the bosses will join us. Last year, they didn't so I hope they will this year. I want to see their abs.” Krysie looked at Trixie, stunned at her choices of words. The latter just smiled sheepishly and continue eating her meal. She heaved a deep breath and keep dialing Margaux's phone. I swear I'll kill this bitch once I return home.As the line rings, Krysie got alarmed. Olivia noticed her reaction and curiously stared at her. She just smiled at Olivia and excused herself to leave for a moment. Few more rings before Margaux picked up
“How's your talk with that little Hunter?” Margaux asked as soon as she stepped on the terrace.Krysie heaved a deep breath. “He's hardheaded. He doesn't want to return home because he wants me to go home with them.” “Maybe they are in trauma.” Margaux shrugged. “You left them for a year, and that's a long time while they're waiting for you to come home.”I guess so, she whispered to herself.“So, are you gonna sleep here? It's already eleven in the evening. Are they asleep?”She checked her wrist and shook her head. She texted Trixie that she can't make it tonight swimming because she's tired and she's not in the mood to eat dinner. That was a lie, though. For sure they'll be searching for her if they find out she's not in her suite. “I need to be back in the hotel,” Krysie mumbled. “Please don't let them out. There's a chance that they might encounter their father.” Margaux nodded. “But, Sey, I don't want to sound mean but why are you still keeping them from their father? You're
