Thurstin and Maximilien have a long conversation inside. And I got bored so I stood up and decided to get out of the garage. It looked like they were going to talk for a long time so I decided to walk around and look around.Thurstin said that this place is the central commercial district of Old Town. I noticed that because of the various goods on the side of the road.It's like tiangge in the Philippines, only there are fewer sellers and buyers. There are clothes, usually Muslim clothes. Since the seller is also a Muslim.On the right side of the road are the Muslims. They sell a lot of household items, from cookware, and ladles, there are carved stones that I don't know what they are for. Even the carpets, vases, and umbrellas that they suspiciously sell when it doesn't rain in the Sahara.It was fun to watch the happy trade. The shouts of the buyers and salesmen kept coming. Maybe they haggle over the price.On the left side of the road were the Spanish merchants. They also sell so
Kylie's POVMy throat hurts, my back aches and my stomach started to growl. I opened my eyes, light suddenly blinded me. I raised my hand to block the light coming from somewhere. After adjusting my vision from the blinding light I looked at where I was.I was shocked to see that I was inside a room. Even though it's not big, you can't say it's small either.Where am I? What is this place?My brain is confused. I kept on thinking about what happened last night. I thought I was in Verona. It's like I was just talking to Aunt Vane last night. How come, I'm here? How come I'm in this unfamiliar bed? Why am I lying here? Am I in Spain already?My head throbbed so hard that I caught it suddenly. I feel like my head's gone burst. Aaaagh! What the hell?! I just felt this headache again. I reached for the pillow and covered it over my face. Block the light! Block the light, Kylie!I closed my eyes tightly and let the pain in my head pass. I think I didn't move for about ten minutes. I just fe

Cole's PovHe elbowed me again."Be serious!""I'm serious!"lol, He can't accept me anymore.I will make it hot in Afghanistan, I was cut off there.haha, I raised my hand again and was ready to scratch again when Bennet grabbed my hand and pressed it to his side.Shh! He can't stop me from scratching. My one hand was free so I still scored. But when Bennet gave me a nasty look, I immediately dropped my hand.It's hard, he might make me bald. Blah blah blah blah the Priest again. I just imagined something. I wonder if I will ever be able to return to my job as a Photographer.Thank you! I will miss chasing zebras in Africa and swimming in the Amazon River just to take a picture of a piranha. Hey! It doesn't matter, when I see Nicky,I can go back to my old life. He and Bennet are together, after all, they are both crazy. Bennet suddenly elbowed me so hard that I turned to him again in annoyance."What?!" I whine. My soon-to-be husband's burning gaze greeted me so I adjusted my expres
Cole's POVBennet just looked at me evilly then he took the spoon from my hand again and ate it himself. He ignored me.After a time, Bennet's nephew, Lukas, suddenly approached him and held out his hand. "Care for a dance, Aunt Nicky?" he asked smiling.After all, I finished eating, I agreed but first I looked at Bennet. "Dancing, husband. Is it okay?""Go on..." he said simply without looking back. He just answered the caller on his cell phone.I just shrugged my shoulders and then I held Lukas's hand as he led me to the middle of the dance floor. We danced the waltz and I didn't know how to do it so naturally, I stepped on his foot."Sorry," I said.Lukas just smiled. This man should share at least a little smile with his uncle, without Bennet always looking like an eater. "It's okay, Aunt Nicky. Although, I find it strange... the Nicky I know... is a good dancer."Oh, shoot! Yes, it is. Nicky is a social dance champion, the Waltz is just nuts for her! Geezus freckles!"Ah, he. It'
Cole POV"So... what's your plan besides making me your baby maker-producer and slave, Bennet?" I will ask. Nothing, that's what came out of my mouth because I was confused by his gaze again.Bennet tilted his head and then folded his arms. "Are you always like that, wife?" he asked."Huh? Always like that, right?" I will ask."Straight forward. No hesitation. You'll say what you want to say even if it sounded stupid, no sense, or embarrassing. Even if it hurts your ears or is funny, you just say it. As long as you want to. Are you always like that? ... that's not how you used to behave."I was stunned. Okay, I admit it. I can't stop being me, because this is me. No matter what skin you have as the socialite and artful Nicky... Goddess-Cole's dinosaur skin comes out."People change..." I simply answered Bennet and then I looked away and approached my suitcase that was on the other side of the bed. "That's possible, right?"Bennet didn't comment so I just rummaged through my suitcase.
Cole's PoV"Hey wake up! Wake up!"Someone was shaking my shoulder... and screaming in my ear. I just let it go because I feel like I'm just dreaming."Hey! Hey! Nicky!"Nicky your face."Wake up, Nicky!!""I'm not Nicky, you big fat prat Bennet... I'm Goddess-Cole and I'm gonna eat yah!" none of my own answer."HUUUH??!" I heard Bennet react.Huh? Bennett? Tart gnaw!! Bennet!!I suddenly opened my eyes and quickly turned to the source of the man's voice. And just as I suspected,...Tadaaaa!!Bennet... and he was frowning again while standing on the edge of the sofa! But even so... he's still handsome, fvck! His mouth is like Armalite that is immediately forged."I WOKE YOU UP BEFORE!! DIDN'T I TELL YOU TO GET AWAY BECAUSE OUR FLIGHT IS EARLY?! ARE YOU REALLY LIKE THAT WHEN I WAKE YOU UP?! YOU'RE LIKE OIL! AND WHY ARE YOU STILL LYING THERE AND OGLING AT ME!!?" Bennet shouted in my face.Bennet's rant is cute. Music in my ears."Good morning too, husband!" I said smiling like crazy.Be
Cole's POVRaul Frey guided us inside the RedSphere Tower, staff wearing elegant and crisp royal blue-colored uniforms with the RedSphere Inc. logo were about to meet us in the lobby of the building. Bennet's presence intimidates them as if they are afraid of the man. Maybe because Bennet is a strict boss that's why.In the distance, there was a group of teenagers walking and looking around the RedSphere."Who are they?" Bennet asked pointing at the teenagers."Ah! They're IT students from Stanford University College of Information Technology. They're on tour. Wanting to see how the system worked up here in RedSphere."I see. Those are students. And they tour the RedSphere Tower to learn the background of the giant company."You should have seen their faces, those kids when they saw the NeuroAdapter and Sync-O system on Level 65," grinned Raul Frey. "Their jaw dropped. Hahaha!"Mmmmm. Their language is alien words again.Bennet just smiled and looked at the teenagers we now met.I did
"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
