Cole's POVThe ride from Vendomme to Silicon Valley was quick. Germany is also the driver and he drives smoothly.I was a little nervous because I didn't know what Bennet was calling me for. And why does it need to be in RedSphere? He can just tell at home if he really is.It must be something about business. That's the only conclusion I have.We arrived at RedSphere, earlier than I expected. Germany immediately dialed with his cell phone as we walked into the big company."Ma'am, President Leofwin is still attending a meeting. Do you mind if I send you to his office? You can wait for him there," Germany replied.I just nodded. My anticipation level is increasing making me nervous. Plus, some employees who happened to be passing by were even looking at me.What? Am I ugly? Do I look like a witch? I looked at myself. Not at all. I just look... normal.Germany and I took the elevator to the 110th floor. When we got there, he took me to a large, fragrant and very clean room.Office of th
I turned around when I heard Bennet's voice behind me. And my smile grew even wider when I saw the permanent wrinkle on his forehead. He was frowning more than ever. so cute"What in the world is your problem?" I said.Bennet snorted and approached him. I noticed that he was ready. He was already wearing his jacket.I was a little surprised when Bennet came directly to me and wrapped his arms around my waist without warning before placing his chin on my head."I'm afraid..." he whispered."Huh? Afraid what?""I'm afraid... Mana is mad at me...""Eh?" I was surprised. Mana, mad at Bennet? "Why?"I heard the man sigh. "I don't know. Maybe sulking. I was talking to him earlier, he turned his back on me.""Eh?""Joyce said that Mana is sulking at me because... I'm going to take you home to the Philippines. The old man is sad."I was shocked by Bennet's words. Mana... sad because I'm going to be gone? Ooooowww. It was as if something suddenly closed in my chest. A hot thing. And I remember
Are we going to stay the night at your parent's house?" I asked as we exited the elevator."Do you want to?" he asked back."Do you want?" I asked again.Bennet shrugged his shoulders again. "I wanna go home. With you."Oops. My heart is regodon-de-honor again."To Sephiroth?""Nope. I have a house here in Verona of my own."Oh, I don't know that. I just nodded.We were greeted by Bennet's other staff who immediately bowed when they saw us in the lobby. They said "good evening Sir" to Bennet in unison. The man is just a Dedma."That house, when we have our firstborn. I will name it after him," Bennet added as we boarded the limousine car.It was as if I was touched by what Bennet said. Firstborn. Our first child. He's talking about our supposed firstborn. My heart just can't take it. It's good to hear that it hurts too much. I remained silent because something was blocking my throat."I just hope he will be a boy. I've been dreaming of a boy first born then a girl after him. Wouldn't
After Bennet finished eating, he got ready to go in. I prepared everything he needed. From the suit, tie, long sleeves, pants, socks, shoes, and even paperwork, I arranged everything so that Bennet would have no complaints.I beat The Flash with the speed of my movement.But all in all, I feel satisfied that I was able to serve Bennet the way I wanted."Impressive, wife!" that man when he saw that all his things were ready."Of course! Me too!" I said. "I'm beautiful.""Yes. Yes. I will not object."When a black Mercedes Benz stopped in front of the house, I realized that it was Bennet's pickup."There's your car, Leofwin," I said.Bennet just nodded and then he suddenly slapped me on the forehead."Ouch!" I frowned at Bennet. "It's your problem?""No! Be careful driving. Manila is far away. And don't stay late," the man said. "But you're dead to me!"I'm just kidding. "Yes! I'll only be there for a moment. I won't run away from you!"Bennet scoffed then kissed my cheek immediately. I
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
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
"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
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
"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
