KYLIE's POV
Urrgh! The tattooed monkey really doesn't want to leave in front of me no matter what I do, I've been watering him with water from the fountain but he seems to be happy there.
"Go away! SHOO!!"
But the Monkey won't go away. I want to think that this monkey is really beautiful to me. He doesn't want to stop me huhu Help!
"What do you want? Do you like me?! Well, I'll give you my picture, but you owe me a favor, you monkey!" I shouted at him, even though I knew he didn't understand me. I was ready to splash the animal with water when suddenly a figure appeared out of nowhere.
"Stupid," a voice came from nowhere.
Damn what?!
"If you think that all people and animals will be attracted to you because you're beautiful... you're wrong," he said without me moaning because he had a point and I didn't care about that. He grabbed the Monkey from the grass and gave me a cold stare.
"Anything that sparkles attracted Mikey. If you don't want him to chase you, don't wear jewelry and a gown that's bright gold. . And don't call him monkey. He's not a monkey, he's an orangutan." Ignore the man's back with the monkey...Whatever as if I have something to ask?
"Of course, I know that! Mister Know-it-all-orangutan-lover! But I don't care!!" I shouted at the man with his back.
"Just get that annoying hairy creature away from me--- whoa whoa aaaaaahh!"
I tripped, tripped and lost my balance. I fell into the cold water of the fountain. I submerged my whole body in the cold water of the fountain. I immediately climbed into the water which was not that deep.
My gown was so wet. when I stood at the fountain I saw the man standing in the distance and he was still snickering at me. That monkey man even clapped his hands. Right! they are perfect for his pets.
"FVK You asshole! Go to hell!" I shouted angrily at them.
He just made a face, turned his back and left. I was left soaking wet.

BENNET's POV
"Did you see Bennet? Where's Bennet? I can't find him! Did he go somewhere?" It asked Fuji.
I sighed. I can hear Cole's voice even if it's far away because you can still hear it. His vocal chords are that strong. And it looks like he's been hit by being nervous again. I shook my head and approached the woman that Frank and Rae were talking to
"Relax, Cole. Ben just went to CR because he said he was going to pee. Well, you're talking to your sister Nicky and your gay guest that's why he didn't say goodbye to you," Fuji explained.
I saw Cole raise his eyebrows. I stopped laughing.
"Why hasn't he said goodbye yet?! I can accompany him to CR! Don't let him say he's ashamed of me, I'll shoot him!"
"OY! OY!" Rae pointed at Zila. "It's you? You're putting Zehel under immediately after you've just gotten married!"
Cole's eyes rolled. "Why! He'll experience being the under at least once! What? Always me? In bed, I'm the under too---"
I ran out of nowhere and Cole's mouth was covered immediately. "Your mouth has no brakes anymore," I said.
I looked at the two men in front of Cole, they were both holding back their laughter. I want to pull Cole and put him in the sack and just take him home.
"Where have you been?!" Cole frowned when he removed my hand from his mouth.
"Well, just like what they said... In the Comfort Room."
"Ahh Okayy, Next time say goodbye. I thought you left me."
His face was so messed up that I stopped laughing. I just hugged him tightly. I can feel the baby bump in my stomach. My heart immediately jumped with excitement. I'm excited to be a father.
Back then, I didn't think about these things like family. When Lessley and I were young, we planned to get married but not to have children. I thought I was fine with that. But now it's different. It's different with Cole Iba because I love him so much. Starting a family with her is what I dream and I want the most.
And now that we are about to become three in our family, I can't ask for anything more except that she and Cole and our future child be healthy.
"We better go to the reception. It looks like all the guests are there, we're the only ones left here at Reedwood," Cole said to him.
Fuji and Rae are both walking towards the exit. I looked around, the person just stopped.
"Do you love the wedding?" Cole suddenly asked while looking at the entire wedding venue. The garden was filled with flowers and the lighting are so beautiful the whole place actually looked very beautiful
"Yes, love I do" I answered.
"Me too. It's okay for those three bacteria to be wedding organizers."
I agree. Fuji, Rae and Luke are really good
"When you fire them they can become official Wedding Planners and I think they will make a lot of money," Cole added laughing.
I just laughed too. I want to tell him that my wedding was happy and beautiful, not because Fuji and Rae were good... but because of Cole.
I will marry him. I'll tell you even if we get married on the sidewalk, as long as I marry him.
I wanted to tell it to her. But I didn't do it. Maybe because his head has grown so much and he thinks I'm dead to him.
Even though, I probably am.
"Come on, I'm hungry!" Cole said and pulled me out of Redwood Garden where the car was waiting to take me to the reception.
While we were in the car going to the Hotel, Cole asked questions about my relatives. I couldn't do anything but answer.
"Your Grandfather Arthur? Was he really an American soldier during WWII?"
"Nah, He's a spy, not a soldier," I answered.
Mama said that Lolo was one of the top spies of the US and the Allied Forces during World War 2. He became a vital part for the launch of atom bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.
"Spy?" Cole's eyes widened. "Well, he's not smart! Maybe he inherited all the smart things in your clan. Like your brother, Kuya Caster. Then your father too, I mean Daddy! Then you!"
I just nodded. And Cole is still straight forward in narrating what he has in mind about our clan.
He does not know their relatives. According to him. That's why he didn't experience the same thing as me who has a big family. It was sad to know that she doesn't have any family aside from Nicky, but I can't do anything about that.
Maybe, I'll just insist on giving him a big family too. Just like his dream.
"Your cousin Kylie, she's so beautiful up close. She's already beautiful in magazines and billboards but I don't think she's even more beautiful up close."amazing
. I laughed at what Cole said. "Don't be like that to yourself Wife, For me, you're the most beautiful woman in the world.."
Cole blinked. "I'm your wife so don't play with me anymore."
Haha!
"But it's serious Hon?. Is that cousin of yours still asleep! If I were a man, I would really drag that one to the altar just for me!"
I took a deep breath and adjusted my seat before staring at Cole. "You know, wife. Kylie is beautiful, but you won't like her behavior when you get to know her completely."
"What do you mean, he has a bad attitude?" the wife asked curiously
"She's a living witch, wife. So no matter how beautiful she is, her behavior is a major turn off to men."
"Like that?" Cole said as if he couldn't believe it.
"Thanks to her for being so beautiful, her face and body are in demand in high fashion. But with Kylie's attitude, I wouldn't be surprised if I heard that everyone in the modeling world is her enemy," I explained.
Kylie Balin Leofwin. He is Sister Annie's youngest brother. Kylie is a spoiled brat. I remember that there was no long-term babysitter for him before and even the nannies, they really kicked him out of his behavior.
"But I like her," said Cole. "I mean, she was okay when I met her. If she's as beautiful as me, I might be artistic too haha. So I understand, that's the way she behaves. At least she's not plastic, she'll say if she doesn't like it without coaxing."
I can see that Cole was smiling. It looks like he really wants Kylie to close it. In fact, they somewhat resemble the outline of the mouth.
Same NO BRAKES. What will be said will be said, whether it's ugly or beautiful. No wonder he likes my cousin.
"But she doesn't have a boyfriend yet? How old is she again?" Cole asked.
"Twenty three, and from what I heard she doesn't have a boyfriend because she thinks of herself as a Goddess."
"Ah. Then men are just curly?" Cole nods. "That's expected from someone like her"
I wanted to laugh at what Cole was saying but I just smiled and took his hand. "Will you just shut up, Cole? Let's enjoy this moment as husband and wife officially."
Cole smirked "Officially huh? Be careful Bennet. I'm your wife. I can throw you in this car, and when you fuck me it's your treasure!" And it laughed devilishly.
I laughed and squeezed his cheek. "Yeah? Try it then. I'd be happy to die just for you."
Coleat suddenly winced. He looked away from me. "Eeew. That's really corny. I just got married and you're already jo-logs. Who are you hanging out with now, Rave? Don't stick to that, everything he says is just corny."
I burst out laughing. The one about Rave made me laugh. I kind of admit it. Rave. I was still laughing until we got to the Hotel, so we got out of the car and Fuji met us with the man raising his eyebrows immediately.
"What?" I asked Fuji.
"Your face is red," he said.
"It's Her Fault," I pointed out to Cole that Fuji just dined.
"Come on in, I'm hungry!" said Cole as he entered the Hotel's Reception Hall first.
He was obviously really hungry, he left his shoes in the car.
"He still loves food more than me," I commented.
"Yeah," Fuji added.
KYLIE's POV"Rosie, stop talking! I told Jermy I'd be gone for a long period! I'm taking a long fvcking vacation!What are you on about, you booked my flight to France for a new Fashion Show? What a moron you are.?!!"Annoying! Why are people so stupid today, my god?It's also tiring. So when the invitation reached me that my cousin Bennet would get married again, I was really confused because why he got married twice and only to the same woman, I took advantage of the occasion and flew home.I told Jermy, my handler in Management, that I wanted a long vacation and he agreed.Like what the heck! I was supposed to go to Palawan to relax but her stupidity, I... aaargh!"I'm sorry, Kylie. I had no idea you had already requested a vacation. You can't say no to FW, I'm sorry.. Our Management's reputation will be damaged if you back out," I heard said Rosie on the other line."You know what, Rosie? Fvck that reputation. I don't care!"I turned off my cell phone and threw it in the corner of
KYLIE'S POVThe man also seemed surprised to see me holding his shoulder. Maybe he was surprised that I suddenly became his partner.His black eyes rolled around my face as his expression grew colder. Suddenly I was counted. I'm not used to being looked at by a man with such a cold expression.Shit."I'll just sit down," I said because I was a little scared of the man. Maybe he's angry because I pushed his partner. Oh well. I should be the one to be angry because of what happened earlier at the fountain.I was about to leave, but he suddenly tightened his grip on my hand and wrapped his arms around my waist.He's close. So close, I can smell his manly perfume. Holy crap!"No way I will not let you go, Little Sweet Balin," Nito said sharply.I could hardly breathe because our faces were so close to each other. If it was another guy, I might have slapped him."You're too close..." I stuttered."It's okay," the man said indifferently. He stood straight and we started dancing.I'm just du
KYLIE'S POVNo traffic, thank god. I made it to Bolivia without a headache.I just parked my car and headed to the classy bar."Is that Kylie, the supermodel in Paris?" I heard someone I met say to his companion.I immediately bowed so that he wouldn't recognize me."I guess not. They look alike but Kylie is more beautiful lol! That one looked like a ghost. She's so pale! hhahahha" he added and laughed"Well, yeah. You're right. That one is a bit ugly." one of his companions whispered.I wanted to go back to fix the two but I stopped. I stopped walking first and took a breath. The thickness of what I look like is called ugly. What is his name? Plug ugly?!Jeez. I will gain nothing if I react to criticism.I composed myself and resumed walking towards Bolivia.Bolivia as I mentioned from before, is a high end bar. This is not the type of bar where the sound and music are blaring. It's quiet and mostly the songs played are mellow, ballads and soft music. It's a suitable place for talkin
KYLIE'S POV"Lame," commented Thurstin after drinking the Margarita from the glass. "Like juice."Arrogant ah."Bartender, you're going to drink gasoline here. They say your drinks are lame!"The Bartender laughed, and so is Thurstin. He was laughing lightly."Do you have a problem, Mister? You seem to want to drown yourself in alcohol. Mind to tell?" I have a simple question.Thurstin's flush face suddenly turns darker, I was shocked. "Nah. It's nothing. Just a simple man problem," he answered."Oh sorry," I pretended to be concerned about him. "Your parents fought?" I will ask.The man's aura grew darker. "Parents? My mom died a long time ago. And I have no news of my dad!" he answered sharply as if not wanting to remember any memories of his parents.Yay. You are great Kylie. First question and you'll be blinded right away. When that gets mad at you and punches you, it's up to you."I'm sorry to hear that," I said sadly.I heard Thurstin sigh loudly. He paced upward and gulped some
Thurstin's POV"EJ, do you remember what the woman looks like?" I will ask. I sat up straight and looked at the man.EJ stared at me. Somehow his expressionless face grew a bit brighter than usual."Of course I do," he answered. "Long black hair, dark brown eyes, pale skin, with big eyeglasses---""With eyeglasses?" I weaned. "Is she a nerd?""Not all nerds wear eyeglasses," Eiji replied. "But yeah, she looked nerdy. Seemed like a first-timer on this bar but clearly not a first-timer on this kind of bar.""Oh.""She looked pretty since she wears no makeup. And probably, she smells good. If you smell it, it makes you want to sniff everything---""Oy! Oy! Hold up! Hold up! What are you saying you brat?!" I shouted. I looked around. Maybe someone will hear and think I'm a womanizer.EJ shrugged. "I'm telling the truth. You laid your head on her shoulder comfortably.""Jesus!!"What I did was shameful."I even took photos of you two on my phone...""HUWAAAAAT??!" I shouted. I stood up fro
Kylie's POVIn the end, I gave up too.I'm sorry but I can't stand sitting on Thurstin's lap. It's like I'm being scolded. Even if I wanted to claim the seat, I just gave up.Maybe we're not meant for each other, the seat and I.Buhisit as Thurstin to eh. It's like she's him that I'm sitting on her, I'm not even burdened by her.I let it go because... it's dangerous.Because my heart is beating fast lol maybe I'm just nervous hahaha maybe nothing will happen.. you know??The position is not good for me because I think that boy is dangerous.I just fit myself to sit next to the man. Business class seats are for Artists or models anyway. I wish I just went VIP. Pissed off.When the plane took off, I was busy listening to the music of the band Ben&Ben. I drown myself in deep music even though I'm not really interested in loved music person.I peek at Thurstin next to me and see him flipping through a magazine. At first I thought it was a fashion magazine, I expected to see myself on the
Kylie's POVI was distracted from falling asleep. I felt like there's something bright flashed before my eyes. My forehead was wrinkled and I forced myself to open my eyes. My butt is numb from sitting for too long. my god!"Thurstin... the light. Did you turn it on?" I will ask.I could see the man through the blinding light. When my vision adjusted, I saw the man standing there who seemed to be rummaging through his bag."Did I wake you up?" asked the man without looking back."Ah no. I'm still sleeping, you see. I'm just sleep-talking!" I whine.I straightened my back. It felt like there was a hot ember on my hip. This is why I hated traveling in long hours. It's boring, it's boring. Not to mention, the person next to you is still sick."Sorry. Just go back to sleep. I just looked for something in my bag," I heard Thurstin reply."What time is it?" I will ask."I'm not sure. We'll arrive in Madrid late at night. Maybe in three or four hours."Far away. I yawned. I see that the curt
Kylie's POV'Why are you giving me trouble when you are nothing?'Yes. Why though?'You're not even my friend!'I know. I know.'I'm just doing it, for Bennet. Because you are his cousin. And Cole is her husband! I don't want my best friend to hear I'd let you die knowing you're her husband's cousin.'Those words. Those He said, they punched me back into reality. Where its clear that Thurstin and I... are still strangers to each other.I just looked at Thurstin as he walked away. The darkness slowly engulfed him. He was really angry. And I don't know if I should follow him or what. A big part of my brain said I should follow him, because he is the only one who can help me. But it was like there were hands that stopped me from doing that.He is not my friend, he said it himself. So where else will I follow him?Was it my fault? Want to know what's happening? For godsake, I just want to know what's going on. I'm afraid And what's scarier is that I don't know. I don't want to run there i
"I'll try... what..."Bennet stepped closer to him with one eyebrow raised."Which?""What... I'm going to try scuba diving in the Bermuda Triangle after I give birth to find out if the rumor that the Lost City of Atlantis is there is true!" I answered breathlessly.It was as if a question mark suddenly appeared in Bennet's head because of what I said. The next thing I knew, he just put his arms around me before saying... "You're really hungry! Whatever you're saying! You should be ashamed of Mommy. She might think, I'm marrying a crazy person."Mistress Vanessa was laughing heartily. He only laughed loudly as if he was being held back but his shoulders were shaking. The lady was very happy because she knew that I was planning to do something for her daughter."One more thing, Atlantis was not even in the Atlantic Ocean," Zehel added, pulling me out of the room. "Mom, I'll feed it first," he said goodbye to Mistress Vanessa who just nodded while laughing."How can you tell?" I will as
Cole's PoVMy stomach churned. It's almost lunchtime. I left the Hospital in the morning but it took me midday on the way because of debating with myself.Part of me didn't want to go. Saying I should let Bennet do what he wants. I don't want to go away anymore, it's tiring to always run away.So, what happened was that I just went back and forth all over the place with no plan. I can't call Thurstin, he's sure to yell at me. Especially Nicky, he definitely wouldn't want me to go away.Urgh.I can't come up with the best plan so I decided to stay at Mcdonald's and eat. Really hungry. Especially now, I have a double gut. If I'm hungry, my child is more hungry.My wound is aching. It seems like a bad decision to leave the Hospital without my wound healing.I was eating a burger when I saw some figures standing in front of Mcdonald's. They looked familiar, so familiar I think...Wait!Is that the MIB? My bodyguards in California then?! What are they doing here?The MIB looks out of place
We looked up when the sliding door opened and a Doctor came out who removed his facemask when he saw us.Bennet and Mistress Vanessa approached the Doctor while I remained in my seat. I could hear them."Doctor, how is she?" Bennet asked breathlessly. "And the baby?"Mistress Vanessa quickly turned to Bennet, her eyes wide. But the son ignored him.The Doctor sighed and... smiled."She's safe now," answered the Doctor. "Wife can handle it.""And my baby?""Your baby is stronger. He didn't leave his mother. Despite the trauma and shock, the baby remained strong. He wants to live. Congratulations, Sir."I stood up when I saw that Bennet was about to fall. I took his arm and held him. Bennet's facial expression looked like a thorn had been pulled out. He keeps on uttering 'Thank God!'"The patient will be moved to the private room so we will just wait there," said the Doctor."What about Nicky? The other twin?" I will ask."I'm okay," suddenly said a new voice.Nicky arrives. The real Ni
Cole's POV"Why are you a male partner? You're just a boy! My legs are shaking waiting for you. I almost went inside and got on the plane!!" I shouted immediately when Thurstin, who had just gotten out of the taxi, appeared to me.He frowned when he heard me. Pulling his luggage, he came to me."Who's to blame?! After you ordered me to find you a mangang buffalo even though it's not in season, you're just going to yell at me that I'm late?!" he said with a frown as he reached for the bag with raw mangoes.Oh crap! I automatically salivated.I took the bag and immediately sat on a nearby bench. Then I poured the mango.We are here now at NAIA Terminal 1. An hour from now is our flight to London. JM and I were together, but during the stop over in Dubai, he would get off, because his boss's office is there. Yes, Thurstin and I must be working on the same company but we have different bosses."Are you pregnant?"I was stunned by Thurstin's question. My eyes also widened when I turned to
Fuji POVI vowed gently when Attorney Ben Carlos bid goodbye and walked out the door. He's an efficient man, I only told him to dig something about the "signature" and he dug more than that. He also researched about Cole.We he he.I closed the door and turned to the man who must have been stoned from sitting.Bennet's expressions are similar from those in horror movies. He was pale and looked like he was being chased by zombies."You okay, Bennet?" I asked as I approached.Bennet looked at me but in a way that he didn't seem to see me."My marriage was invalid. Null and void, Fuji," he said as if he couldn't believe it.I sat in the chair opposite Bennet and watched him. Feigned ignorance of the scene. lol "How did it happen?""Well..." Bennet frowned. "I married a different woman. Not Nicky! But the name's Cole who took the name Nicky and..."I raised an eyebrow at him. "Didn't I tell you that before?""Huh?" Bennet frowned even more."I told you that the woman who spoke to the Lega
After I finished eating, I went to the porch and sat on a wooden chair that was there. Shortly after, Nicky followed me and sat next to me before hugging me.She's been busy and clingy these days. He always wants to be hugged and kissed. He also sleeps next to me. It was okay with me, but now I'm starting to get confused I want to stay away from him.I removed his arm that hugged me and then I folded my arms. I saw Nicky frown."I'm your wife, Bennet. Why don't you want to stick to me?""You know why I married you, Nicky. You're well aware of the fact," I answered."Right, Kelly.." she muttered.I didn't speak. A car parked in front of the house caught my attention. I stood up when I saw Mommy's familiar figure getting out of the car."Mom?" I said.I hurriedly ran to the gate and opened it. It was the first time ever that Mom visited me at my house."Bennett!" Mommy smiled when she saw me before hugging me. "It's been ages since you visited me and your Dad so I decided to pay a visit
"Hey! Bennet! Bennet!"I stopped eating when I heard the old man's voice. When I turned around I saw President Gunford running towards me.Bennet stopped laughing and also looked at the nearby old man. "Yeah?""Bennet, thank god you're still here! The drinking party! We're going there!"I was stunned. Drinking Party? So there are still parties after this?"Sorry, Nicky dear, only for boys," the old man turned to me.oh, Only men? Just them?"We won the event, so you don't have to worry. You have a prize," the old man added, patting me on the shoulder.My eyes widened. "We won?! Really?!""Yeah!""What's the prize? Is it a house and a lot? Million pesos? What?""Crazy," Bennet interjected.I frowned at the man. "Why? Bad dreams?"He didn't speak.President Gunford laughed. "Silly. Nothing like that. It's my gift to you for being a cute partner!"Wow. I'm shy. They say it's cute. Oh hey.I see that Bennet seems relieved by the situation. His eyes roll around and his eyebrows rise and fa
President Gunford's aura was different. He looks happy. The old man was wearing a simple polo shirt, black pants, and rubber shoes. And he has a cute scarf on his head like Benedict.He pulled me until we reached the tent where I saw Bennet earlier."Here! Here!" that old man "I want you to meet someone!"huh?"Ms. Pola!" greeted President Gunford to a woman holding a board."President!""Here! Meet Mrs. Leofwin! She's the one I told you who suggested this event to happen!" said the old man smiling."Really?!" that girl called Ms. Pola. "Nice to meet you! I'm Pola, head organizer of Manila Outbreak."I was relieved. He was the organizer of the Manila Outbreak?! The famous Zombie Running Game back then."Wow!" I said. "That's you guys!""Yeah. And I was also surprised that the head of the Gunford Foundation called us to organize something like this for them. Turns out, it was your suggestion. Thank you so much!"I smiled. "It was nothing. Your event was fun!"President Gunford was smil
Cole POVI put a glass of water in front of Nicky. "Stop crying, drink this," I said.Nicky wiped away a tear before pouring water into the glass.Nicky's face is all red because of crying. Maybe he was shocked to learn that Bennet only married me (her) because of arrogance."I... I... I have no idea that Bennet could do that! Well, I know that he loved Kelly all his life..."Ouch."... but did that just for revenge? And here I thought he loved me when we were together!" Bennet snapped.I know Nicky and Bennet's relationship was not that long. In fact, it only took months. Based on the e-mail my twin used to have with me, Bennet ended it up because he said it's not working, their relationship is as cold as ice. Is Nicky that numb to fool himself and say that Bennet loved him? Rubbish.Or maybe it was Bennet's fault. Bennet made my twin feel loved then dumped her. A cruel man he was.Thank you! But it seems... that's not the Bennet I knew. In fact, he's warm and caring. Yes, he will ye
