TYLER POV 42While sitting in the office chair and working on the laptop, my mind was flying. My mind was confused as to whether I would give in to Veronica after I gave up the company that my father worked for. I just gasped as I thought about it.Suddenly my phone rang and I immediately shoved it in my pocket. I thought it was an unknown number but I immediately answered to identify it."Hello?" I uttered."Tyler, this is Aunt Dasha.I dared to call you to please you, son," she said gently."I know you're not okay,Tyler. I understand you if it's not that easy for you to give in to Veronica. But your father's company depends on it.,"she said."We both know that Veronica can't really run the company alone.She needs you now so please give in to her.Help her just for your son's future, "she added.I sighed at what I heard from Aunt Dasha. Actually I was also thinking about that thing. I was still thinking about my dream for my son then. I want him to follow in my footsteps even though I
TYLER POV 43"He just cheated on me, I think he had something to do with the sudden drop in sales at the company. He even told me that he was very angry with Dad," he replied.“What ?! I told you I had a different feeling about that man at first! ”I said emphatically."You never told me,"her eyes glared."Oh,yeah because I know you won't listen,"I replied.I stopped when I noticed her serious looks at me. We stared at each other for a while at that time."I don't expect that I will get to the point where I am the one who will approach you.Honestly, until now I'm still really angry with you and I won't just lose it. But dad's company depends on it for our son's future.I don't want to regret it in the end. I don't want my father's hard work to come to naught just because I became selfish,"she said seriously.I smiled sparingly at what she said.I was happy because at least somehow she also realized that it was not just about herself. It was not about her anger towards me but about the we
TYLER POV 44"See you tomorrow and take care,"she said with a smile.I didn't expect her to say that to me. I said goodbye to her and didn't lose my smiles as I walked out of the mansion. I immediately got inside my car and turned it on.As I walked along the road, I could imagine Veronica's beautiful smile earlier. This would have been the beginning of our relationship. I don't hope that we can go back to the past and all I want is for her to lose her anger towards me and learn.She would have forgiven me.When I arrived at the Condo I immediately got dressed and took a bottle of wine. I drank first to make me feel drowsy. I went to the Veranda and stood while looking at the view at the bottom of the building. I could see the traffic and the lights on the road that shines in my sight.The next day I woke up early and got up. I brushed my teeth and took a shower in the bathroom.I put on a black suit and Slacks pants after. I fixed my hair and put perfume in front of the mirror. A few m
TYLER POV 45She suddenly vomited in front of me. I was very surprised and immediately lifted her. Aunt Dasha approached us immediately, confused and supported her."God! What's wrong with you,daughter? Why did you get drunk like that?" Aunt Dasha asked, confused."I'm sorry,Aunt.Your daughter is really stubborn," I replied.I helped Veronica sit on the sofa and took a towel with lukewarm water. Aunt Dasha wiped her and I couldn't help but stare at her face."I'm really sorry,Tyler.My son really has a lot of problems,"Aunt dasha said."I know that,Aunt" I replied gently.I heard her sigh as she wiped Veronica's face."I'll take care of it, Son. I know your work is early tomorrow. Go home so you can rest," she said gently."I'll help you take her up to her room," I volunteered."Ahm, go ahead,she's a bit heavy so i can't carry her to her room"Aunt Dasha said with a smile. I carried Veronica up the stairs to her room.When I put her on the bed I couldn't help but look at her face. I swal
TYLER POV 46"Take care and see you tomorrow," he told me with a smile.I smiled at what he said and got into the car. I followed his car with my gaze as he drove away. I also followed his car for a few minutes before turning off the road back to my condo. The condo. The condo. The smile never left my lips for hours. I was very happy with what he said and had hoped that everything would be fine as well. While driving along the road, I couldn't help but look at my phone. I wanted to call her to see if she had returned home or if she had returned safely to the mansion. But I don't want to rush everything to her. I took a deep breath and smiled as I thought of her. When I arrived at the condo unit, I got dressed and lay down on the bed. I couldn't help but smile while staring at my phone. I was hesitant to call her because she might get angry or mislead me. My phone suddenly rang, but I was disappointed when I saw it was a call from Ana. I sighed and went back to bed. The next day I
TYLER POV 47 "I will agree as long as I just hug. It's just a job, not personal,"she said.Craig and I looked at each other and he simply coughed in front of me. I knew he was teasing me again. I immediately scolded Craig because I didn’t want Veronica to change her mind again."Craig, can you stop teasing me first? It's not funny, okay?" I said calmly."I'm sorry, Sir. All right, I'm leaving,"he said goodbye.I just shook my head and invited Veronica to do the next scene. I couldn't help but stare into her eyes every time we both met. Even if he doesn't say it, I feel like I still have a place in her heart. But I don't know how she can forgive me.Until now, I still hope that our relationship will be good again. I know I shouldn't insist anymore. I know I shouldn't love her anymore but I can't unlove her.I don't know how I can forget how I feel for her.“Congratulations, we made it!” I told her with a smile.She smiled at what I said and also averted her eyes. I know she is still con
TYLER POV 48She informed me that Veronica was only half a day away today because she had a fever. I was saddened by what I heard from her. I looked at my phone and thought of calling. I want to say hello to him and go home but I can't leave the company. Heaps of jobs are waiting for me and I have to finish them all. Later on I called Veronica because I couldn't stand her. I couldn't be bothered to think about her at those times. "Hello," he said softly. "Hello, how are you?" I asked. "We just met last night, Tyler. I'm probably still alive and breathing,"she replied. "I'm just worried about you," I said softly. "I'm just joking. I really feel bad but later I'll still go to work," "Oh! Just rest there, I'll take care of it," I assured her. "I can't just rely on you for everything so I'll go to work later," he was really stubborn. "Don't be stubborn, Nica. As CEO you also need a break to get your job done. Don't force yourself, okay?" I told her gently. I heard her sigh on the othe
TYLER POV 49 "We're going to the hospital now, Tyler. We're going to take Veronica to the hospital," Aunt Dasha said confused."What?! What happened to Veronica, Tita? ”I asked worriedly.My whole body trembled when I heard what she said. I immediately got up and I immediately went out and left Ana in the office. I heard her call my name, but I did not turn to her. I ran away.“She said her stomach hurt a lot and she was shaking and having chills, ”she replied."Is that so? Which hospital will you take her to, Aunt ?! I asked confused."In St.Ignatius because it is closer to us," he replied."I'm going there, Aunt," I said directly.When I came out of the building, I went to the parking lot and got in my car. I quickly drove to get to the hospital immediately. I could not relax in my seat because I was so worried about her.When I arrived at the hospital, I immediately asked the information desk what Veronica's room number was. I quickly walked towards the room, the nurse said. I rub
AUTHOR'S POVShe was very happy to see Tyler again. But Tyler felt the opposite at that time. He thought it was too late to complete his family because he thought Veronica and her ex boyfriend,John had gotten back together.He even threw the flower he brought outside out of frustration before entering inside."Tyler?" John uttered in disbelief."Daddy!!" the boy quickly ran towards him."It's been a month since you left and came back to Canada. Why are you here? Is it another business trip?" Veronica asked, stuttering."Uhmm,Yeah.I just passed by because I just thought of visiting Veirn.I missed him too much,"he lied.John's phone suddenly rang because his girlfriend was calling.He immediately said goodbye to them and Tyler was surprised when he heard that John had a girlfriend. They looked at each other for a while and John smiled at him before leaving the mansion. He couldn't explain the joy he felt when his thoughts were probably wrong. He approached Veronica while they looked at ea
VERONICA POV 54It's been a week since Tyler left the mansion. I have to admit that I missed him and I felt sad when he left. Veirn is also always looking for him and I just say that his dad is at work.Veirn became lethargic while waiting for his father and I felt sorry for my son. There are times when I just want to call John so he can visit Veirn even though we're broke up. But I'm a coward because I don't want him to think I'm chasing him.I'm not the kind of woman who will beg for him to stay with me. I don't want to force him to come back because I'm okay with not having a boyfriend or a husband.I'm just really worried about my son because I don't want to see him lethargic and sad because he's not even his two daddies visiting.At least one of them."Why are you sad, son?" I asked softly. "I feel like I'm alone, Mom. I miss my daddy so much," he answered sadly. "Which daddy do you miss?" I asked. "Daddy Tyler," his pouty face answered me. I held my breath at what he said. I know i
TYLER POV 76I couldn't stop myself and I punched the man.Ana came between the two of us to stop us. The man fell to the floor and I attacked again but we both stopped when we heard the loud voice of Mr. Gonzales behind us."What's going on here?!"he asked angrily."Your daughter cheated on me! My two eyes could clearly see them kissing," I said angrily."Is what he said true, Ana?!" Mr. Gonzales asked firmly and frowned.She couldn't answer right away and she only responded by crying at those times. so I'm annoyed by what she's showing. Why does it seem like she's the victim here?"Tell us the truth, Ana. Tell me!" I told her angrily."I'll say it, Bro. Yes, Ana and I have a relationship and we love each other," the man admitted."I'm really sorry,"she apologized , crying."What nonsense is this, Ana?! Why were you able to betray your husband?!"Me.Gonzales asked firmly."I'm really sorry, Dad. But I think you and Tyler deserve to know the truth,"she said firmly."What do you mean, An
TYLER POV 75 "Be careful in Canada,"she said with a smile.The sadness in her eyes was obvious and I smiled at what she said. I approached her and gently held her shoulder."Thank you so much for taking care of me, Nica. Despite all my sins against you, I know I don't deserve it, but you still chose to take care of me," I smiled at her."Despite your sins, I still can't take away what you did to help my mother. You are the reason why I spent more time with my mother. You are the reason why I extended her life. And if we had not met and you didn't marry me, I won't even know my real father,"she said seriously and smiled at me."I want you to know that despite the pain you caused. I never regretted meeting and loving you,"she added.Those moments between us were emotional. I couldn't stop myself from hugging her tightly. I was so grateful for everything she did for me. She was the first woman I ever liked and loved so much. And I didn't either regretted that.We hugged for a while and s
TYLER POV 74"Where is daddy John, mommy?" Veirn asked.I swallowed my saliva and I was really hurt by what I heard from my son. It hurts so much that John is probably the father he recognizes. I looked at Veronica and she smiled at me sparingly."Son, go to sister Beth first,"she said gently to the child and Veirn run away from us."He was looking for a father then. He always asked me where his daddy was until John came. I had no choice but to introduce him as the father of our son," he explained."I understand.I know i have shortcomings in our being a father so it's okay," I replied, trying to hold back my tears.I smiled while looking at his very cute and handsome face. I saw myself in him when I was young. He got the shape of my face, eyes and nose except for his hair and lips. "Are you really okay?"she asked worriedly. I know that she knows that I was hurt by what I heard from Veirn himself. It is very painful for a father whose son has another recognized father. But I accept th
TYLER POV 73I saw John slap her in the face so I immediately went in to punch him. I threw a punch at him and he was very surprised to see me. We both fought and I didn't let him win even though he was taller than me. My anger was more dominant at that time.But Veronica shouted at me and pushed me away from John. I was so hurt when I saw her hug the man in front of me. John was bloody because of my punch.Even though he is taller than me, I am better at fighting."Stop it!"she shouted."Why are you defending that man? He's hurting you, Veronica!" I said angrily. "You don't care about that! John is my boyfriend so it's normal for us to fight. Can you please stop?!"she said angrily.I was very disappointed that she defended her stupid boyfriend. I also didn't think that John was her boyfriend."If only you would replace me. You should have done it with a sensible man, not an idiot!" I said emphatically."Your face is too thick to dictate what I want. Maybe you forget that you were the
TYLER POV 72She didn't accept my hand and Mr.Chua noticed that. He smiled at he only talked to Mr. Chua even though Mr. Chua insisted on including me in their conversation."Let's talk there, Mr. Chua,"she said with a smile."Okay sure,"Mr.Chua replied, smiling at her."Uhmm, can it be just the two of us talking first, Mr. Chua?"she said gently.Mr. Chua looked at me and I nodded to him.I couldn't do anything but let them talk in the distance.I took a deep breath to calm myself down.I admitted that I was so happy to see Veronica but how can I talk to her?I want to approach her and talk to her so I can apologize for everything I've done. I believe that this is the right time to tell her the truth because I'm going back to Canada next week.And my life is back to normal with Ana and her shameless father.It was also a few moments before the two of them ended their conversation.Mr. Chua approached and invited me home.But I begged that maybe I could stay for a while talk to Veronica."I'm
TYLER POV 71I was very depressed when I found out about Ana's son's condition. We went back and forth for a month to monitor him because of his condition. I feel so sorry for her because she cries every night and blames herself for our son's condition.Our son has Hypoglycemia and he really needs treatment."Don't blame yourself, Ana. You are not to blame for what happened to Joshua. The doctor said he just had an infection but they are doing everything to make sure Joshua will be okay," I said calmly to Ana."Thank you for always being there for me and Baby, Hon,"she thanked me emotionally.I held my breath and hugged her tightly. I caressed her back to ease her mood. I know that she is not allowed to get stressed because it's only been a month since she gave birth.As the months passed, Ana suddenly changed and she became irritable watching over Joshua. I had no choice but to hire a babysitter to watch over Joshua.I couldn't help but compare her to Veronica because they are really
VERONICA POV 53"Your mom!.." Mitch said to me in a panic. "What happened to mom?!" I was confused.Mitch immediately pulled me out of the bathroom and ran to mom's room.When we opened the door, I saw the nurses and doctors trying to revive my mother. I was shocked and my whole body trembled. I couldn't bear to see my mother struggling for life. Tears continued to fall from my eyes.I couldn't bear to see her dying so I left the room and went back to walking. I kept praying that when I came back in, mom would be okay. I sat down on the chair and buried my face in my hands. I cried while praying to God not to take my mom from me."My God, I can't lose my mother yet. I'm begging you," I cried.It was quiet around me for a while until a cold wind touched my skin.My hairs suddenly stood up and that's when my hunch was formed. My feelings were so heavy that I could hardly stand from where I was sitting. The doctor came out and approached me. I took a deep breath to prepare myself to hear
