Veronica POV 6
While Mildred and I were talking at a restaurant, my phone suddenly rang and I saw Aunt Mercy calling me so I answered it immediately. "Hello aunt Mercy," I said , smiling. "We are here at the hospital now.We rushed your mother to the hospital" Aunt Mercy said , confused. "What happened to my mom ?!" I anxiously and confusedly said goodbye to Mildrid but she offered to join me. I was devastated by what I heard and as I made my way to the hospital I could not be bothered with the extreme anxiety and nervousness I was feeling."Are you okay?" Mildred asked me anxiously."I'm not comfortable, I'm worried about my mother" I said and I could not stop my tears. “Just relax okay? Your mother will be okay”Mildred said calmly and held my hand. When we arrived in front of the hospital, I immediately ran inside and asked at the information desk.When I entered the room, I saw my mother lyingVERONICA POV 7"Flowers from Mr. Jackson to Ms.Smith'' the man said, smiling while carrying the big bouquet of flowers. The flowers were so beautiful so I couldn't help but smile when the man gave it to me. "Thank you" I said and tried to stop myself from smiling because I knew they would tease me again. I thought of calling Tyler to ask why he sent me flowers even though I'm still in the hospital so Aunt Mercy and Mildred keep teasing me. “Hello Tyler,” I said. “Yes, have you received the flower I have sent?” I asked. “Yes, why did you send me flowers? You don't have to do this, ”I replied. "Actually, Dad just ordered me so I gave in. Anyway, did you like it?" he asked. "Ah..so your father just ordered you but yes i like it ,thank you" I replied. When I dropped the call, I smiled at Aunt Mercy and Mildred and clarified the real deal between Tyler and me.I said to them that it is just part of my job."That can be true, especially since it's not hard to love your Boss," Aunt M
Veronica POV 8 "Honestly, I have to admit that he is my longtime crush and I love him," Drey admitted. “Are you referring to Tyler?” I asked him curiously. "Yes, I thought then that he was a gay because he never showed interest in any woman.You are the first one!"he said. I smiled at what he said but I still couldn't believe that he had been in love with the man I was going to marry. I thought of asking him how he reacted or he felt that Tyler and I were going to get married. "Are you mad at me?" I asked him. “Why should I be angry?” he asked me back."Nica, I know I'm a gay and I've accepted for a long time that he can't love me back. In fact, I'm happy because he met you. I see he's happy with you and despite all his problems, you're there to help him ”he replied. "Because we have an agreement so I need to help him," I replied. "If there is no agreement, don't you see yourself marrying him?"he asked curiously. "Maybe not,It's Impossible!" I replied. “Maybe? It means you're
TYLER POV 9“Wow!” she said and was obviously surprised to see the Diamond ring I gave her.My father ordered me to give it to her and I was also surprised because he was really making an effort for the woman I was going to marry.This Diamond ring is really very expensive but he chose to buy it for Nica.I didn't know if I should feel guilty because everything he sees is just a lie. "Seriously?"she asked incredulously. "Yes, do I look like I'm joking? It's yours" I replied. "I'm sure it is very expensive,Tyler, You don't have to do this"she said. "Actually it's not from me, dad just ordered me to give it to you" I replied. "Uhm..Just tell him I can't accept this,"she said seriously. I was surprised by what I heard from her. The Diamond ring I gave her was too expensive for her to refuse. I immediately asked her why she didn't want to accept it. "Are you kidding?Why? ”I asked. "I feel guilty for what we're doing to your father. We know we're just lying in front of him so he shoul
Veronica POV 9“He’s my cousin!” I replied emphatically to Tyler and I saw that he was very surprised by what I said. "He is Elias' brother and I have no choice but to send him here because he needs someone to talk to about his problem!" I added emphatically. "I..I'm sorry..I'm really sorry" he said ,stammering. I gasped at what he said and the frustration and embarrassment was obvious on his face. "I'll go ahead" he said softly and left. "Wait, why are you here?"I asked curiously."Nothing,"he answered and left.I shook my head and looked at Adrian's bloody mouth.I immediately took a towel and ice to put on his bruise.I didn't think it would happen and I didn't think Tyler's behavior was like that."I'm okay Sister. I can treat myself" said Adrian. "Follow him so you can get along," he added. I immediately followed him but I couldn't reach him outside the condo. I just sighed and went back inside.When I entered the door I heard Adrian talking to his girlfriend on the other lin
VERONICA POV 10 “John?” I said when I saw the man who spoke earlier behind me. The two men immediately ran away because they were probably scared of John's masculine body.He approached me smiling and I smiled back at him. "Hi Veronica, Long time no see" he said smiling. "Yeah, we haven't seen each other in a long time" I replied smiling. “Why did you suddenly disappear from the Bar?”he asked seriously. "Do you know I've been looking for you for a long time?"he added. I knew I shouldn't let him know about my job so I looked for an Alibi.He immediately believed me but I was surprised when he admitted something to me. "Veronica, I like you. I mean I'm not just chasing you for sex because I really like you" he admitted. I was really surprised when he confessed but I just laughed in front of him. “Seriously? HAHAHA! ”I said laughing.“Is what I said funny?”he asked me. I was silent when I saw his serious face and his sad eyes looking at me. I had no choice but to tell him that
VERONICA POV 11“Take this” he said and smiled at the hungry man when he gave him money. The hungry man was very happy to take it and shake his hands towards him.I was so very impressed with what he did.It’s obvious on his face that his heart was really touched by a hungry man who asked for help. “Why did you stop me from giving money earlier?” I asked. "You should keep it for yourself," he replied seriously. “Do you want me to think that you are really kind and helpful like what I said earlier?” I teased him. “Veronica, I have no time for nonsense things, okay?”he said seriously.“Okay, is it a nonsense thing?” I answered, smiling but he just frowned."Relax"i added.I don't know why I like to tease this man.I just smiled at what I was thinking.A few moments later we arrived at the Condo.I invited him to come inside but he refused because he was going to a meeting.Suddenly his phone rang and he immediately answered it. "Okay, I'm on my way now" he said to the other line. "I'
TYLER POV 10 “You are cute with your frowning head Mr.Jackson,”she teased me. I shook my head at what she said but she just laughed so I was so irritated with this woman.I don't know why she tends to tease me. I couldn't help but look at her badly and she just smiled at me as if she was flirting. It's really hard to understand this woman.Her prostitute behavior is still really coming out. I just shook my head and looked back at the road but we were very shocked when we saw the big truck that will collide my car. "Tyler!" Veronica shouted in panic."What the fuck!" I said confusedly as I turned the handle bar.Fortunately, I quickly pulled away my car. I held my breath very close to the handle bar and looked at Veronica.I saw that she was holding her chest and obviously nervous. “Are you okay?” I asked. "This is your fault! I almost died because of you!"she scolded me. "Wait, why are you blaming me now? Are you the only one who almost died?" I asked emphatically. I really can't
TYLER POV 11“My daughter really likes you Mr.Jackson”he said,smiling.I was so speechless after I heard what he said.I don’t even know what to react because it is really awkward for me.I just smiled and told him about my upcoming wedding with Veronica.“I'm sorry Mr.Gonzales but I guess it’s too late.I am already engaged with someone”I answered with a smile.“Ohhh really?I feel sad for my daughter but it’s okay.I am happy for you.Who is that lucky woman?”he said calmly.“Her name is Veronica,She is also a businessman’s daughter.Her family owns a business in Italy and also in Singapore”I answered him with a smile.“Wow nice.You have a right choice.May I know what's the name of their company?”he asked and I couldn't answer him right away.“Wait,I forgot the name but it starts with letter S?”I try to joke just to find some alibi.“Are you kidding Mr.Jackson?HAHA!’he said and laughed.“Is it funny?.”I answered with a smile.He just smiled at me and said that he still wants to invest in o
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
