The kids ran to them as permitted by the principal, Sandro came to her while Kenny to her father. They looked not sorry for what they did. And if she would assess the situation, it’s obviously the fault of the bully! Sandro will never start a fight without any valid reason. And Amanda made sure to instill that to her son, to only fight when he was being suppressed or someone dear to him was being bullied.She turned to Kenny and the poor little girl had dirt on her face. Amanda reached for her and wiped the dirt off. Kenny smiled at her and hugged her father more.“Aren’t you supposed to reprimand your twins? They are at fault here!” The bully’s mother shouted. She forced herself to smile even if she wanted to put a tape on her big mouth.“They are not twins, for your information—”“I don’t care!” The other mother exhaled. “Have you seen their faces! They look almost similar to each other even with the color of their eyes!”“But anyway, that’s not the issue. The fact that your kids hu
It’s almost seven in the evening when the movie finished. She was happy that the kids enjoyed watching that Disney film. She promised to both Kenny and Sandro that this wouldn’t be the last time they would have a movie date. She even said that they’ll have this kind of entertainment perhaps twice a month if permitted by her schedule.The smile on their faces was priceless, Amanda had embedded the image into her mind. She even got pictures of the two on her phone. Just in case she needed something to motivate her to work, she could just stare at these cuties for the time being.The three of them just got out of the theater when she received a call from an anonymous number. She immediately answers the call wondering if it would be Keith, and she’s not mistaken as she heard Keith’s voice over the line.“Hi!” She realized that her voice sounded so excited and cleared her throat. “Hi, how did you get my number?”“Hello, Amanda,” Keith said on the other line, totally ignoring her question.
Never did it cross his mind that the positions as the CEO of the KH Development Group will be taken away from him. Never. That’s why it really shocked him that the new owner of the company he worked hard for for years effective immediately was none other than his ex wife. His ex-wife who happened to hold the most shares of the company took the position he vyed for all his life.This is unacceptable! Keith couldn’t hide his dismay in the sudden turn of events. And why this buying of shares didn’t reach his attention.“Have you investigated how the buying of shares happened?” Keith eyed the three, especially Attorney Agoncillo. “Can you say to us, Attorney Agoncillo, the main reason why Miss Amanda Munoz played like a God and took the company by storm?”The old man who happened to be one of the trusted people of his late grandfather just shook his head. “That I cannot answer as I don’t know what’s really going on in her head…”“But all I could say is that all the papers are clean. The t
Keith found himself searching for the hospital where Sandro was admitted. He was a fool not to ask the woman from earlier where they sent the boy to have them checked. Either way, he didn’t want to bother anyone any longer and searched every big hospital in the city.It took him a while before Keith finally got the answer he’s waiting for. On the third hospital he visited the information had confirmed that a boy named Sandro Munoz was admitted to a private room. He got the room number and immediately went to see the child just to see if he’s now alright.“Did you just come here just to see the child or the mother as well?” A part of him asked. “Don’t try to fool yourself, Keith…”He finds himself arguing with his mind sometimes. It’s not that easy to handle such a proactive mind who mirrors that other side of himself. But most of the time he just disregards that voice in his head as it wouldn’t do good to him. It only made him confused and annoyed at the same time.Keith realized as s
Just looking at Keith makes Amanda feel tired already. She sighed and shook her head. She doesn't want where this “talk” will lead them. And besides, she wanted to look after the kids and not talk to him in private.“If it’s all about my recent acquire of almost all the shares of the company, I believe Attorney Agoncillo—”“Honestly,’ he cut her off as he leaned closer. Their eyes met and she fell silent looking at those blue eyes that turned in darker hues. “At first I loathe you for what you did, for taking the only thing that I have invested all my life with. But now, as I learned something relevant both in our life, I really don’t mind at all. I just want you to be honest with me…”Amanda was seated on one of the couches and Keith held on to the arm’s rest as if caging her inside. The kids are oblivious of what’s happening at the back. They are too focused on playing together that they haven’t paid attention to the surroundings.“If you don’t want to talk outside then I’m fine rig
Shaina knew that look in her eyes. She couldn't be mistaken. Long ago she had the same look while anticipating the arrival of her beloved. And up until today, she missed him that all she could do was to reminisce about their good memories together.It wasn't her intention to visit Sandro this late. She had a few things to finish first before finally showing up. When she learned that Sandro had a high fever, she was worried as hell. But she had put her faith in his parents that they'll look after him until he's fully recovered.They say time heals all wounds, she believed that only that person can heal her inner self. And no one else will do that for you.On the way to Sandro's private room she happened to cross paths with Keith. Just by looking at him she finally understood that something had transpired in the closed door of the room. His appearance had been different, gone was the gloomy aura that surrounds him. And he seemed that he'd finally got the courage to take the next step.W
Seeing Sarah calling his phone clearly speaks trouble, Keith said to himself as he went outside Sandro’s room the answer the call. Mrs. Ferrer and Kenny already left and only the three of them left inside the private room—him, Sandro and Amanda. And knowing Sarah, she can be very impatient that as it turns out she’s been calling him numerous times.Keith walked until he reached the end of the hallway where there would be no one who could hear him. He finally answered the call and Sarah shoot the question right away.“Honey, where are you?”“Where are you and Kenny?”He took a deep breath before he replied. “Kenny is going to sleep in your mother’s place.”She sounded confused. “What? Why?”“How is that even possible when Mom is outside the country?” Then she gasped at the other line. “Did she already come back from Spain?”“Yes, she’s back. We met here in the hospital where Sandro was admitted.”And here comes the trouble…“You mean you went to the hospital and visited Amanda’s son wi
“It’s not what you think,” Keith said even in the heat of the conversation. He couldn’t bring himself to get mad at Sarah as there’s a part of truth to what she had just sided with. And he felt guilty for having feelings resurfaced while he had her at the side. It just goes to show how shallow their relationship turned over the years. “I came here… We came there to visit the child—”They’re just compatible in bed, and even that department it’s also failing him. And now he couldn’t see himself even sleeping next to her. May Sarah forgive her for everything running on his mind right now but it’s all the truth.“Don’t make me a fool, Keith!” Sarah began throwing the pillows everywhere and all the things near to her. “I know you!” And then something hard almost hit him in the face. It crashed against the hard wall beside him and instantly shattered into tiny pieces on the floor. It was a small figurine just on top of the bedside table. Keith turned the lights on and Sarah looked horrified
