Keith had visited his grandfather that morning in the hospital. Don Kennedy was sent to the hospital when he lost consciousness at the mansion but now, his grandfather was in stable condition. His old man had to rest for sometime until the doctors could allow him to get discharged. For the meantime, he’s spending his day and night in one of the private rooms in the hospital.Even when recovering, his old man never failed to remind him about the contract. That if he ever wished to stay in the CEO position, he had to rebuke the divorce. Keith already told Don Kennedy that he already did the necessary papers for that. And the cancellation request was already approved by the judge himself. Proof was the letter sent to him by his personal lawyer corresponding to his appeal.It was only yesterday when Keith read the letter. He believed that the court also issued another response letter to Amanda. He smiled at the thought of what would be her reaction. He could only tell that his still wife
Amanda was no doubt aware that Keith was approaching. He already found her. But then he got distracted for a second, and Richard used it to escape.He grabbed her hand and pulled her on the next corner, away from Keith’s view. Amanda’s heart was beating loudly, anticipating for the worst. Richard was glancing at the other direction, still checking if Keith was around.“He’s now gone,” Richard then turned to her and caressed her face. He looked at her in the eyes showing his concern. “I am not dense, Amanda…”“Was he the man?”She shook her head, neither confirming his ass. “Just let us out of here,” she pleaded, a hand above her chest, calming her senses.Richard didn’t ask for more and helped her leave the hospital immediately. They get inside his car and drove away from the place.At the back of her mind, Amanda was considering changing her ob-gyne if Keith knew he’s been visiting that hospital lately. Information can be easily gathered if you have the money. At the end of the day,
Richard had just finished his luncheon meeting with his executives when his eyes caught something beautiful from a distance. She’s waiting patiently on her cue. Her line was just outside of the restaurant he had lunch with. So he decided to pay her a visit, bid his goodbyes to his executives and walked towards the direction of that beautiful woman.Amanda Muñoz. As days went by, she became more beautiful in his eyes. It seems pregnancy can make a woman blossom to its full potential. No man with keen eyes like him can even ignore such goddess roaming in the land.He glanced at the name of the store and figured out that she’s buying some yogurt. He heard from her doctor that yogurt is a good source of calcium for pregnant women, especially the variety of Greek yogurt.Being a CEO can have a lot of perks, and one of those are connections that he can use anytime he deemed necessary. It’s a plus factor that he’s also good-looking. Not to brag, but his presence alone was enough for the crow
Keith’s day consists of having the Japanese investors sign the final contract then getting back to office to focus on his pile of paper works. It seemed to double the last time he checked on it. And everything was near to its due. Some are even for urgent approval.After a tiring day, he decided to visit his grandfather at the hospital. He brought him flowers and fruits even if Don Kennedy didn’t want to. His old man was always on a practical side, telling him that flowers withered as time passed by and there’s only a few fruits that he could actually eat.He arrived at the entrance of the hospital around seven in the evening. Don Kennedy was still awake when he got inside his private room. His old man was talking to his private nurse while having his portions of fruits.“How’s your day, Grandpa?” Keith replaced the old flowers on the bedside table and put the new ones. Then he put the fresh fruits near the mini kitchen. “I hope you’re doing good.”“I feel better now, Keith,” Don Kenn
“Amanda, who was the real you?” Keith mumbled as soon as he opened his eyes. It’s already morning, the sun rays crept inside the spaces in between the window blinds.He just woke up from a dream that puzzled him. He was chasing this particular woman in white but he couldn't reach her no matter how fast he ran. He keeps running towards her but she keeps growing the distance. She’s running at such speed that he can’t possibly reached. And she was laughing the last time he heard about it. And before he woke up, she decided to turn around and show herself to him.She was none other than his wife, Amanda. And she was looking down and laughing back at him as she slowly fades away.What a strange dream. What could possibly that mean? Was it possible that Amanda, no matter how timid she was in their old house, was actually fed up to their marriage and was longing to be free from the start? Could she really be the culprit in the recent events that lead him to file a divorce?Was his lack of af
Sarah had never felt this irritated to someone for ages. She was biting her nails as she tried to analyze what happened earlier at the private room of Don Kennedy. His words absolutely have meaning to it. As if he knew something important that she hadn’t known!That old man sure was smart, a natural enemy of hers. Why would every family have that one person who’s smart that she can’t get rid off? That old man will surely be the hindrance to her plans!“Where would you want to go?” Sarah glanced to her side and saw Keith who’s eyes were still focused on the road. They already departed the hospital a few minutes ago. Thank God since she can’t take the silence anymore. “Any place in your mind?”“Are you avoiding me?” She asked right away. She’s not that stupid not to notice his frequent alibis for late night work and his out of town business meetings that took for days. There was really something wrong with the way he acted in front of her. “Do we have a problem, honey?”“None—”“Then lo
It’s like any other ordinary day. Amanda gets up early and has a quick bath underneath the shower. She would want to relax in the bathtub but that can wait until the weekend. She still needs to prepare breakfast as Alma will be here anytime soon.Everyday as she saw herself naked in the mirror, Amanda would always caress the bump in her belly. She’d been a few weeks pregnant, approaching her second month. And she couldn’t be more happier knowing that the baby inside of her was growing strong and healthy.As her doctor advised, she never let herself get stressed. She always sleeps on time, and not less than eight hours of rest. She always included fresh fruits and vegetables to her diet. And stock of milk was always replenished every week so as to not get run out in the groceries.Morning sickness finally subsides, thankfully. But Amanda would crave the impossible food from time to time. If she can’t find it online to be delivered at her doorstep within the day, she’ll ask her best fri
The cafeteria was not a place where silence usually stayed. It was always filled with rowdy and lively customers beside the good food they served. And despite the crowd, the two of them remained silent while staring at their unannounced visitor.It’s as if they’ve seen a ghost. Definitely not. No ghost was as handsome and as charismatic as the CEO of the Ferrer Properties. And he’s also holding his tray with the food he ordered at the counter.That’s new. Normally, Richard will be out of the office at this time of the day. Not that she had any interest in his schedule. But as far as Amanda knew, he’s not the person that stays inside the office because of various business engagements outside."Is this seat taken? He repeated the question. His eyes were definitely on her that Ananda felt embarrassed. She looked away so as to not get any more unnecessary attention.Alma cleared her throat and answered politely. "Yes, Sir."He took the space next to Alma, and she could tell that he’s glan
