2021-10-14 14:51:48WE DECIDED to follow Dad's suggestion. And just as I expected, the dinner went plain and boring. They only talked about business and politics that doesn't really interest me.
Ellie and Dad exactly had the same goals in life. Even in hobbies, they're so much alike. They both like playing golf and tennis. It's not really a big deal to me since I know Dad always wanted to have a son, but building it up to Ellie? That's what I can't accept.
"How was your trip to San Marcelino, hija?" Dad asked me.
"Uh, good, I had so much fun!" I politely said.
I wiped my lips with tissue to hide the stretched smile I was wearing. I don't want to show them how happy I was.
"Hmm, so when will you be back at the office? Two months is long enough to ponder on thingd." His voice was serious.
I sighed at that, I dropped the utensils I was holding lazily. Suddenly, I didn't feel like eating.
"I think it's better if Ellie mentors you as the new president

Also, buying a ten-wheeler truck for our mining business was not a joke, even the two private planes used to export our products. There are also a few elf vans that are used to deliver the fabrics, and last but not the least, the armor truck we acquired for the safety of the sales from our jewelry shop and other businesses around Queensland. I understand that, I know it's a bit too much, but it's not bad to ask for something once in a while, right? I am the only child, soon, I'll be the president of our own company. With that being said, I still don't have a car to run errands with?! I know it's kinda childish and immature, my reasoning are not as concrete, but can't they let me have it just once? I was shaking my head while Ellwood's car arrived. It's almost seven in the morning and I'm running late on my first class. "What took you so long?!" I closed the door loudly and crossed my arms as I sat on the passenger seat. I didn't bother to put on my se

"WHAT are you so mad about, huh?" his lips lightly feathered mine. I opened my mouth to speak but he didn't allow me. My knees weakened as I held onto his polo shirt tightly, all the inhibitions suddenly vanishing into thin air. "Not here..." he muttered under his breath, pulling away from me ever so slowly I was fixing myself and combing my hair using my fingers before hearing a few steps getting louder. "Hi, Zeki! Hi, Meredith!" a student from beside my room said. "Hi..." I greeted back. I gasped after she passed through us. My eyes turned to Zekiah who had a smile plastered on his face. "I'll better be going." I threatened him using my eyes before walking up. I know he's still following me because my bag is with him. From a distance, I could hear my classmates' loud chatters, indicating that class was still yet to start. "Hi, Zeki!" Tyra and her social friends almost synchronized. I turned my head to him to s

I honked the horn before stepping onto the gas, finally accelerating forwards. "Woah!" I exclaimed as I maneuvered the vehicle outside our village. I'm sure Ellwood will be happy with the new car. I got my phone out of my pocket before dialing his number. "What is it?" he said in his bedroom voice. It's obvious that he just woke up based on his low voice. "Guess what! I'm on my way to your apartment," I excitedly said. "W-what?!" He sounded so shocked. "What's wrong with you? I gonna hung up the phone, bye!" I endes the call as I entered the village where he resides. I honked a few times in front of his apartment, after a while, he got out with just his board shorts. I got out of the car excitedly and greeted him with a hug. "I have a new car, Ellie!" He stumbled as he accepted my hug, unable to wrap his arms around me in shock. "Wear something! We're going somewhere!" I entered his apart

I pursed my lips together with her cold attitude. I suddenly want to go home, ashamed that they'll think I'll be eating with them. Zekiah got food and gave the platter to me. Albeit shy, I accepted his offer and smiled timidly. "We're sorry. The dish is just chicken feet adobo," Rupert said. I shook my head repeatedly. "It's fine, I also eat adobo," I shyly said. "But not chicken feet?" Julieta interjected, staring at me deeply as if reading something on my face. Instead of responding to her, I ate the dish. "Hmm, it's delicious!" I exclaimed. "Are you with Carding?" Zekiah asked after he got himself his food. "Nope, I brought my car." I heard Julieta snorted at that and whispered something to Badong. "You should've waited for me in the house," he stated. I pouted. I don't want to think of something not good, but is something wrong with me going here? Is it because Julieta is here, too?

"Mr. and Mrs. Echeverii has arrived," Mom announced their presence.I glanced at the new arrivals and smiled as I spotted Ellwood in his black suit."What are you waiting for, Emory?" Mom turned her scowl face at me.I stood up to greet them.Good evening, my dear friend! Happy birthday!" Uncle Geoffrey said, offering a handshake to Dad which the latter gladly accepted, also doing the same to Auntie Stella."Thank you," Dad returned a smile.Ellwood also greeted him and kissed both Dad and Mom on the cheek. "Happy birthday, Tito.."He then turned to me and pecked a kiss on my check. "Hi..." he whispered.I rolled my eyes at his grinning face. "Uh, Good evening, Uncle. Auntie!" I greeted them and did the same gesture."I'm glad to see you again, hija! You've been on vacation for a long time" Auntie Stella opened a conversation right away."Ah, yes! I returned for Dad's brithday.""Then, you still have plans to go back?" Uncle Geoffrey asked.Before

Meredith, open this door! Let's talk!" Mom shouted from the other side of the door. I didn't mind her. Instead, I fixed myself. I harshly wiped the makeup and lipstick on my face and pulled my hair into a bun. "Meredith!" The knocks were loud but I remained unbothered. I've never been disappointed in my entire life until I heard that fucking news. I can't believe they arranged me with Ellwood. He's my best friend since I was in grade school, for pete's sake! Haven't they even considered that my friendship with Ellie is at stake here? I don't want to think that Ellie agreed to this for money. I'm sure he's just forced to agree to this. I know him very well, he never once showed any romantic interest towards me. He's just naturally flirty so I know that those higs and kisses were just friendly gestures. And I know that he's a certified fuck boy! He has new girls with him everytime, and I don't give a damn about who's his girlfriend now.

"H-hello?" Shit! I bit my lip because of stuttering. "Meredith?! Finally, you answered my call! How are you? I was worried about you." I gulped and sat slowly on the edge of the bed. I can feel my heart stumbling and falling as I think of a response. "I'm sorry. I'm fine, Alessandra..." I merely whispered. "Oh, I missed you. Gabriel said you didn't inform him about your sudden leave, but he got your text so, when will you be back?" she asked without a pause. I held my forehead as I laid down my bed. I sighed heavily, "Yeah, I will be reporting on Monday. I'm sorry, there's an emergency so I had to go to Queensland," I said, lacking of energy. "Great! We're planning to go out of town, to Galla Via Island! I'm expecting you to be here with us before 10 in the morning," she said. I gulped, feeling my nerves starting to build as I think of meeting him in an hour. "Uh, I'm sorry. I just got here from a long drive. Ma

I only opened my eyes when I heard strides walking down the stairs. I can feel my face getting hot as I stared at him for a fleeting moment, wearing his white polo shirt and khaki shorts, partnered by a pair of white rubber shoes. God, he's looking so unbelievably handsome! I curved my lips to smile but he looked at me with nothing but stone cold eyes. The smile on my lips quickly faltered as I sat properly. "Are you done? Let's go, Marcus got out first," Alessandra told him. Gabriel turned to me, jaw clenching at what his wife said. He was mum about it and walked out of the mansion. I blew a harsh breath before standing up to follow the two at the garage. I didn't wait for Alessandra to say something and entered the backseat to sit there. I placed my earphones in my ears and played a slow rock music on Spotify so I wouldn't hear what they're talking about later. Because I lacked sleep, I was quickly lured into slumber. I felt someone

"Nice... I love the party..." His one hand was inside his pocket while the other was holding the glass of cocktail juice, sipping on it coolly. "I wanted it simple and solemn. I didn't invite big names and personalities," I said. "Is he invited? Did you inform him?" He asked smoothly. But before I could even answer him, my eyes caught that man walking inside the entrance of the gate. My heart was frozen by his surprise appearance. Looking so magnificently hot and seductive in his navy blue long sleeve polo that folded up to his forearms. He never failed to clutch my heart out and leave me breathless. I watched him cross the crowded people while his eyes never left mine. I wanted to stare at him more, but it was cut off when I heard Ellwood clearing his throat beside me. "Whatever speech you have boiling, I don't wanna hear it," I said through my tight lips. I heard him chuckled lowly before leaving me alone and greeting Hezekiah. "Dude, long time no see... I'm glad you came." E

I realized a lot of this when Alessandra and I had a talk. I left her with a light heart and there's no anger left inside. Even before, I already forgave her.I halted from my tracks when I felt something wet gushed on my thighs. Then my stomach rumbled in pain."Oh God!"I quickly walked to the car. My delivery seemed earlier than the due date? I thought I could still drive but I can't take the pain.I was left with no choice but to call Ellwood."What?! We... wait, where exactly are you?!" he frantically said.I told him the exact place and after only a few minutes, I heard his car nearing.I woke up in a child's loud cry. I slowly opened my eyes and looked for the baby."Hey, wonder woman."My eyes lifted to Ellwood. I can't help but to smile.Beside him was a man carrying a child. My tears started forming at that scene."You're here?" I uttered in my low and weak voice.Ellwood glanced at Hezekia

"Were not yet through, my wife," he spoke in a rough voice, making sure he has control over me."Please just fucking let go off me..." I thought it would come out as a hard tone, but it came out almost like a whisper in the wind."I know you've been dreaming of me last night, every fucking minute of your night. I know deep there inside, you wanted this much to happen as much as I want you..." His soft tone vibrated all over my nerves."No. I don't... I can't!" I sterntly said. Tears formed around my eyes but I didn't let it fall."As much as I wanted to be near you or being with you. I just can't... I couldn't, Hezekiah." I slowly shook my head."It's not that easy. Alessandra is alive and your child... your child you chose over me!" My voice already cracked but I still my managed myself."No, Sweetheart," he whispered softer now."Please..." I struggled to get off of his hold but he didn't let me."Just one more chance, sweeth
Two Wives (English) Chapter 120 Ribbon Cutting
"What time is the ribbon cutting again?"I was talking about the opening of the Jewelry shop Hezekiah built. He also invited me to the mall in Manila that just got finished, but I couldn't go because it's too far. I decided to just go to the new branch of the company because it doesn't sit right that I couldn't attend this event, too."10 am in the morning, so may you still have time to think about it again." She rolled her eyes and stood up."Come on, Zuay! I know it's not you..." I teased. Even if she said that she hates Hezekiah, I know she's still hoping for us to get back together again."Tss... I better go back to work." She turned around and and left my office.After she closed the door, I leaned my back against the chair. I gently caressed my baby bump and closed my eyes.He shouldn't find out about my pregnancy. Not because I don't want to give him his rights as a father, but because I'm scared of the result once he found out.

I chuckled lightly, "We already talked, he went to Galla a few days before I flew black here. He asked for my forgiveness and a chance, but–""No, no, wait... you mean, you two talked and you didn't even mention your situation?"I slowly shook my head.My gaze lifted to him when he held my hand above the table."You should've told him that you are pregnant."My lips quivered while staring at him. I didn't expect him to say that. I know he didn't like Hezekiah for me even way before. Why does it seem like the world just turned upside down?"No, I can't..." I shook my head again.His eyes lingered on me. He slowly caressed my hand and looked darkly at me."I want to show you something..."We didn't finish our food because we quickly walked our way to his car.I didn't ask where we were going, but based on the path we're taking, I think I know where it will be.When his car stopped in front of Cervantes

Carrying the bottle of wine and long glass, I walked my way to his cabin. I know the risk of taking this chance, but I have to do this to clear things out. What's about to happen may exceed my expectations, but I don't want to worry about it now. Clad with the tiny speck of courage left in me, I raised my hand to knock on his door. The door opened and I saw shock registered on his face when he saw me but composed himself right after. "Uh, I–I ah..." I quickly raised the bottle of wine and the long glass. Instead of saying anything, he just got the bottle and glass from me. He pulled the door close which made me step back... "Didn't you enjoy your wine?" His voice flowed calmly. My breathing hitched as he stepped closer, not wanting to be inches apart. "Yeah, we need to talk." I finally said. We're now facing each other in front of the small table of his cottage. He poured himself a glass of wine and took it all in one g

From a distance, I could already see Ellwood at a corner of the restaurant. He glanced at me and slid his phone on his pocket before standing up. "I'm glad you accepted my invitation." I said formally before offering my hand for a handshake. "My schedule is not that tight today," he said and sat down. I signaled the waiter to serve the foods and drinks I reserved. "I wanna go straight to the point. I want to pay all of the Cervantes' debts on you and your family. Even the interests and your effort and swats on the company. Name it, I'm ready to pay." "I better get going, dear." Aling Sita stirred me from my thoughts. She's probably finished cleaning the vacant cottage. "Why don't you join me in breakfast?" "Thank you, dear, but I have to clean a lot of rooms. And I already had my breakfast earlier, " she said. I glanced at the cottage beside mine before turning to him again, "Is someone gonna rent the vacant cottage?"

"How are you, you went late, huh?" He put two beers on the table and sat in front if me inside the cottage."I just worked overtime. Are the kids asleep?"He seemed to not believe my reason because his eyes went to my swollen lips."Yes, they have school tomorrow."Silence ensued between us."Is it about Emory?"My jaw clenched as I drank off the bottle of beer I'm holding."You won't come here at this late hour if you're problem is not that heavy," he said.I only shook my head and continued drinking."Come on, it's just women. Why don't you leave the other one? Problem solved!" I heard him chuckle before holding his own bottle of beer .I chuckled, if only it's that easy, I would've done that before."Why? Do you love both?"I licked my lips, not knowing what to answer, "You have a lot of questions." A smile appeared on my lips because of his nosiness."I'm serious. I know you love someone more that the other."I shook my head on him. "If

I carefully sat on a chair near her and watched her sleep in slumber. My eyes went to her baby bump. If I'm not mistaken, it's her due month. I can't help but to smile bitterly. I slowly raised my hand and caressed her stomach. If my child didn't die, it's probably my due month, too. Again, the splinter of pain in my heart intensified. I could still feel here inside, digging and buried deep right into my heart. Endless, as if the pain will never stop. "Emory..." I quickly turned to Alessandra's voice. I also quickly removed my hand from her stomach. "H-Hi, how are you?" I said as I cleared my throat. She smiled timidly, "You're here..." she said in her weakened voice. I didn't answer. I also want to ask myself why I decided to come with Marcus. But when I looked into her eyes and watched how she suffered from all of this, I also wanted to question all I went through and ask if what she experienced was actually more painful than
