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
Fuji's POVA volcano will erupt in three...Two...One!"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SAY?!! SHE WHAAATT?!"There. He just explodes. Bennett.The man stood up angrily while talking on the intercom with one of the heads of RedSphere's Security whom he ordered to watch over Nicky... or should I say... Cole.Hmmm. Don't be mad at me just because I know Bennet married Cole and not Nicky. I didn't tell Bennet that. I don't meddle in the marital affairs of my friend. Also, what will happen next is interesting to me.I just look like I don't care but I'm really a gossip.First of all, I knew that Nicky was not the woman approached by RedSphere's Legal Adviser. The first time I saw her, I knew that she was different. He's not Nicky. I further confirmed that my suspicions were correct when I saw the signature of his name on the marriage contract and the agreement paper between him and Bennet. It was different. I did my own background check on Nicky, and that's where I found out that he has a twin.It
I was thrown back when a cold wind hit my face. Kelly immediately entered my mind so I hurriedly got up, I almost fell off the bed."Waaah! Kelly, don't touch me!!" I shouted as I ran out of the room. Ah, wrong... I'm crawling with fear.When I opened the door, I immediately ran into the hallway."Waaaaaaaahh---"*boooogsh!My face hit something hard so I recoiled in pain. I also lay on the floor and did not get up immediately. I suddenly felt dizzy and my world spun.Did I hit the wall? Why does it smell good?Smell Bennett.Huh?Bennett?I opened my eyes and my world turned upside down when I saw my husband staring at me with a frown."What are you lying there?!" he said, his eyes narrowing."Eh?"Bennet frowned more. "What? Are you going crazy, Nicky? Why are you running and screaming?!"I kept my eyes around. I just noticed that it was morning. There is a ray of sun in the big window near me."Huh? Is it morning?" I will ask. I thought it was really late."What do you think?! With
I tied my hair and put on cleaning gloves and a face mask for the dust. My enemy is a mountain of dust, I don't want my asthma to return.I started picking up empty bottles and broken vases. I also collected all the trash and whatever I think is no longer useful and worthless. I also have several garbage bags for the amount of garbage. Next, I removed the curtains, bedsheet, and sofa cover. I almost ran from the many small insects under the sofa. That's where they built their kingdom. "Sorry to disappoint you, little fellas... but you need to evacuate. Just find a place to live... the rent here is expensive."I saw insects run away I didn't know if they were ants or bugs.I swept the entire area and wiped everything that needed to be wiped. Window, the chandelier, the dresser mirror. Even Kelly's portrait... I polished everything.I didn't even feel tired of what I was doing. I'm just so engrossed in cleaning. It's not obvious to me, but the truth is, I'm a neat freak. As long as I se
Raul Frey PoVBennet's face is already red as he looks at the three of us. Men, my stomach really hurts."Now. Now. What trouble is this?"We simultaneously turned to the source of the voice and there we saw three tall teenagers standing behind us."Oh! What are you doing here?" Lukas asked the speaker."Just passed by... my brother."Right. Lukas' brother spoke. The youngest brother in fact. Sixteen years old Clark Ian Devoncourt is better known as 'Cid' or 'Thief X'- the leader of the underground group 'Tripoli'. Cid is tall for his age, dominating in fact. And his sullen expression is precious. He has a lot in common with Bennet when it comes to "character" and "attitude"... not to mention "attitude problem". He's the guy you can't approach right away because you'll be intimidated by him. He bore Leofwin's famous 'devil stare'."Call me 'Kuya'..." Lukas said to his brother."I do not want," CiN said simply. I'm sorry...like I said, this kid really has an attitude.Next to him are t
"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
