VERONICA POV 50I waited a few seconds before he answered my question.I don't understand why I'm not convinced. Am I getting paranoid? But I feel like he's hiding something? Could he be sick?"I'm not hiding anything, okay?'' he denied. "I was really surprised when I saw Dr. Walter.We haven't seen each other for a long time," he added."Please don't lie to me. You can't be like that without any reason," I said to him seriously."You promise me that you will never lie to me,Tyler," I added.I heard him sigh and it was a few seconds before he spoke. I was surprised by what he told me about Dr.Walter. I couldn't believe what he said and I felt pity for the Doctor who helped my mother before."I.. I don't know how to say that his wife is cheating on him," he stammered."What do you mean?" I asked."His wife cheated on him and I felt so guilty that I couldn't even tell him what his wife was doing," he answered."What the heck!" I said firmly."Why did you say that?I asked curiously."I saw
TYLER POV 67I feel a mixture of fear and nervousness when I see my son's body shaking. I almost go crazy from worrying about him so much. I know that I have sinned a lot against my family, especially against God, so I should be punished, not Veirn. Is this the payment for the sins I have committed against my family?I immediately called the pilot to pick us up. But I was irritated by Veronica's nagging so I couldn't help but raise my voice. I didn't mean to because of the frustration I was feeling."Where is the pilot?!"she asked impatiently. "Can we just wait!" I said irritatedly."Wait, why do you seem mad?!"she asked with a frown."Do you know what our son's condition is?! she asked him firmly."I know but we can't do anything but wait," I answered firmly.I am very angry with myself because I feel that God is punishing me for the sins I committed against my husband. I don't know how long I can hide the truth from Veronica. I am very afraid of losing her in my life.A few moments
TYLER POV 68"Mr. Jackson,how are you?"said the voice behind me.I know that voice very well and I can't be wrong. He came to me and looked at me with a smile.My eyes widened when I saw Mr. Gonzales smoking in front of me. If he stares, it's like he wants to eat me alive.My whole body trembled with fear and dread because I knew the reason why. But what I couldn't believe was that despite the kindness he showed me, he was actually a demon.He punched me and my lip bled.It hurt so much but I couldn't do anything. I couldn't move because the rope was tightly tied to my chair."You have no shame! You're stupid!"he shouted in front of me while tightly holding my collar.I can't be angry because everything is really my fault. What father would want to hurt his child?I didn't do anything but let him beat me. His eyes show the anger he feels towards me. I apologized to him but he didn't listen to me."Ana is my only child.I will not let you trample her"he said firmly. "Do you know how misera
TYLER POV 69"Daddy said you divorced Veronica because you were going to marry me. Is that true?"she asked with a smile.There is a trace of happiness on her face while looking at me. Her eyes are sparkling as we hold and staring at each other.But I just nod and smile at her sparingly. I saw disappointment on her face at my response. It is obvious that I didn't like what she said."Is Daddy the only one who likes this?"she asked me.I took a deep breath and forced myself to pretend that I also wanted to marry her. The threat of Mr.Gonzales replayed over and over in my mind.I didn't want to make a mistake and harm my family."No. I also want it because I realized that you are the one I love," I lied.She was obviously surprised by what I said and almost cried with joy.She smiled sweetly and hugged me tightly. I know I made her hope that everything I said was true but I have no choice."I didn't think I would hear that from you. It's a good thing I didn't give up on you because I never l
TYLER POV 70"I heard that Ma'am Veronica will sell her shares in the company. They plan to live there in Italy, Sir,"Craig said.I was really depressed and hurt by what I heard from him. It was too heavy in my feelings while thinking if my family would go away from me forever. But there was nothing I could do to stop her."That's good," I tried to be okay."Are you okay, Sir?"he asked."Of course.That's better for her to be safe. I'm more comfortable when they stay away," I answered.Craig was surprised by what I said, so I told him about Mr.Gonzales' threat.He was very surprised by what I heard from my mouth. I don't have anyone to tell my problems and secrets to but only him.I trust him so I only tell him everything.He promised that no one else would know. But the worry in his voice was obvious when he found out what Mr.Gonzales did to me."Uhmm,let's talk later,Sir. Ma'am Veronica is here calling me,"he said nervously before hanging up the phone.I took a breath and sat down on t
VERONICA POV 51It's been a year since we moved here to Italy. Our life has been smooth and quiet. I also built a business and I grew it for a year and became part of a big cooperation."Ma'am, please sign this for endorsement," my secretary said with a smile."Okay," I answered and immediately signed.After I signed the contract needed for endorsement, my secretary said goodbye. I was left sitting in my office chair and leaning my head on the couch. I felt a little heavy and tired because of a lot of work. I just delivered food because I was lazy and I ate outside.Suddenly the door opened and Mitch appeared in front of me. Mitch has been my best friend since we lived in Italy. I remember Mildred because of her kindness. She is also one of the endorsers of my products because of her beauty.I don't need to hire an artist to sell because he is good at selling to consumers."Hi Bestie! How was your day? You seem tired,"she said."You said it!" I just shook my head."I told you that you
VERONICA POV 52"John?!" I uttered,confusedly.I couldn't believe seeing him in front of me. He smiled at me and greeted me. My mind was confused why he suddenly appeared in front of me. But before I could ask him, I listened to what the doctor said about my mother's condition."She needs to undergo Chemotherapy, '' Ms. Smith ''the Doctor said."Isn't that risky? Can I be sure that Mom will really recover?" I asked."Unfortunately I can't give you an assurance but I will do my best to make it successful,Ms.Smith"the doctor answered with a smile."Ahm, If that's the only way for mom to get better. I'm ready to gamble a second time, Doc" I said seriously.The Doctor smiled sparingly and said goodbye.When he left the room, John and I were left with Mom who was still sleeping. We looked at each other and I immediately asked him how he had been here.It's been a long time since we haven't seen each other."Your secretary said you can't go to the meeting because of what happened to your mom.
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
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.
