Vengeance of the Battered CHAPTER 35
"Why is it taking so long for them to get dressed? Are they wearing gowns at dance practice?" "Ma'am, they're already out. I knocked. They were still gossiping earlier-" "When did the workplace become a venue to gossip, Melanie? Show me those, and let them show me their business!" "There it is, Madam." Melanie brought the tablet she was holding close to me, and a news update was on the screen. 'Fans of Tanya, Echo and Corrine rushed to the exact location where the so-called 'five star restaurant', Eight All You Can; a Buffet restaurant owned by Imelda Soriano. After the press conference was released along with the interview of the three victims of food poisoning at the said restaurant, the fans rioted and united to attack the restaurant as they believe it no longer has the right to remain in the business industry because of the act of negligence. ' "I never really thought I would be a victim of food poisoning. The reviews of the people there at the restaurant are good. The food i

"They are not. But... I don't even know where those are. But only one thing is certain, Aud." I stood up from her bed with a smile, before I enunciated, "You will never see those two again. Forever." If those two were guilty of what they did to Audrey and that's why they committed suicide, their conscience should really bother them. But I never wish someone to die for their mistakes, no matter how big it was or not. And I'm never thankful they took their lives if ever they felt so guilty for what they did to my daughter. I want them to be punished... but not in this way. ***** "He entrusted you to Doc Liam. Shall I accompany you to his clinic?" I was still hesitating to follow the nurse when I heard what she said. There are so many doctors here at the hospital... Why would she take my daughter to Liam? Can it be… re-schedule? "Mom, let's go." I just came back to my senses when Audrey spoke. Uh… I think I have no choice. We are already here. There's no turning back... because if n

I cleared my throat before speaking, "Isn't it clear to you that Audrey and I came from him to get Audrey checked up? Doc Arthur is supposedly the appointed doctor for Aud, but he didn't come in because he had the flu. So, he made Liam check Aud on behalf of him. I didn't know Liam was the one to who will look-" "But what if you found out about him right away?" "Do... Do I have a choice? I came here about Audrey's health, Hen. There is nothing else. So, why do I have to avoid Liam if he is the one who will look after my daughter? Is that important other than my daughter's health?" "Now, look at what you've done. If their connection with each other continues, you should blame yourself once Liam finds out that he is really Audrey's father. When that happens, Kris. .. I’m sorry. I can't help you because you yourself are making the way to introduce your daughter to her real father." Traces of frustration drawn on his face. Fortunately, he managed not to show too much that there was ten

"Why are you rushing me? Do you have an appointment to attend to?” "Isn't it obvious yet?" I really made my friend suffer a lot. "So, you and your cooks hurry up to prepare the sandwiches, please. That might not be enough for our breakfast." "Just wait, Madam. You are the one asking for a discount because you ordered the family package, and then you are in a hurry. Can I hug you, Kris?” "Back to you, punch." I looked at the wrist watch I was wearing—and it happened to be the watch that Liam had given me earlier—and there I saw that maybe the time wouldn't be late if our breakfast was at 9:30 am? Lucile's hired people are tired of the cafe she just opened. Even if it's just frying the egg, they buy it really carefully so that it's still perfectly round after cooking. I'm not picky even if it's oblong. It will also be eaten. "What is there? Miraculous… Do you have a family day?” "Hen's promise to Audrey. After all, it's been a week and we both have a rest day, so we've given up on
Vengeance of the Battered CHAPTER 39
"Because I'm still in traffic. I'm really sorry if I’ll arrive late." I joined Henrix and Audrey to sit on Henrix's blanket on the grass for our early picnic today. "Have you eaten, Aud?" "Actually... Daddy and I couldn't wait for you anymore. Someone came by selling porridge here earlier, so we just bought it there. And we just finished eating it." I looked at Hen, wanting to question him about the reason why he allowed Audrey to eat some foods from street vendors. “Hen-” "You don't have to worry, honey. I will not let Aud eat foods that are not good for her health. I make sure that the food is not contaminated-” "How are you sure it's not?" "My grandfather will not sell contaminated foods." My anger suddenly disappeared when I heard what Hen said. My question about the food he bought for Audrey... I kinda feel like I judged the foods that his grandfather is selling to the people. "He and Grandma have been in business for over 40 years. Even when I was young, he used to join

"I will have my own... soon. I'm really just waiting for the time to give birth to the woman I want to be the mother of my children." Laughing, he stood up from his chair and put away the food. I thought he was going to wash it, but I just saw him wash his hands, and then he came to me to kiss my forehead. "I'll side with Aud first, huh? She might suddenly wake up and then something hurts her. I don't want to disturb your sleep. Good night.” I was left in our dining area shaking with excitement. If I'm weird... It's weird. But honestly, a kiss on the forehead is still more exciting than a kiss on the lips. Because our lips are like a cafeteria that is open to everyone. With people you just met and then immediately grab a kiss what happens, not to mention that their names are still clueless to them. But that kiss on the forehead... men do this to women too seriously. On your forehead respect, on your lips... sometimes being aggressive. Shaking my head, I approached the sink to remove

Jessica's face seemed shocked about what I said. I don't know if she was pretending to be surprised, or if she really didn't know what her future husband had done. "How do you call yourself a professional when you can't even follow the agreement you have with my wife, Doc Liam?" "You know nothing, Doc Henrix. Don't question my professionalism just because you interfered in my partnership with Gwen. You know nothing, so stop meddling.” Liam gave me a sudden shock when he placed his hand on top of mine. "I understand your decision, Gwen. I respect that, so… if your decision is final, let's terminate the contract now.” I'm quite surprised that he accepted the termination that quickly. Well… since when did he understand anything meteorically? Is that a new version of Liam Soriano that I just discovered? He made my mouth shaped like an O. "This business is over... let's end it with a toast, shall we?" Jessica has led the way in getting a small bowl, and as far as I know it's soup. "In

"I told him that some of the identical twins could possibly have the same allergy in foods. Thanks to the studies that I recently looked at... that identical twins who inherit identical genes are far more similar to have the same allergies, unlike those fraternal twins." I have never heard that thing before, nor read some studies regarding that. But if anything, I'm not a med student or anything related to medicine to know about that. What's important... that study existed so that I could get through to Liam again and keep the truth hidden. "Did he believe it?" "I told him to message me to request the P*F file of the study I was referring to once he doubted my statement. I have a full copy of the file, so I'm ready in case he asks me one day," he bantered, gently moving my body upward. “You don't have to worry about that. What you think about now is to eat and heal. There are two of you and Audrey that I'm taking care of." He shook his head and took a bowl of soup from the table,

"I am supposedly calling you for an emergency family meeting about what I heard from Echo, son," my mother said to me after recovering from the shock Henrix and I brought to her."But I don't have anything else to worry about, eh! If this man is responsible for you and is willing to marry you, I don't have a problem."All thanks to the Lord, Henrix and I moved ahead of Echo. Although that bastard has already informed my mother that I am pregnant, good thing we have settled everything down to the venue and props just to make Henrix's outdoor proposal to me look realistic.Mama also arrived on time in front of the house that I built-not for Henrix and I, if not for myself-and she was able to witness our show."You can count on me, Tita Miriam. I'm not like other men who run away from their responsibility to women," I heard the reply of Hen next to me. I tightened my grip on his arm."So, when do you plan to get married?" asked my stepdad. "We're not rushing you to get married that's why

Becoming selfish or not, the situation right now is indeed a hard choice. I think about the welfare of the child in my womb, and at the same time, I shall not ignore the fact that for the sake of the baby, I will suffer.So, I have come to a very complicated decision."I understand if you find it difficult to give in to me, Hen. But I have no choice," I pleaded.I secretly met Henrix in a bar near his house in the middle of the night."The weight of the two options I have now. I can't afford losing the other one out of my hand."I tried to gamble. Instead of letting Echo get ahead of me in making a move to inform my parents about my situation, I should be the one ahead of him.Since Echo is known to be the son of my mother's college friend, Echo is close to my mother. And he has the access to ruin my life by telling lies anytime he wants.The only way to stop him is to step ahead of his plans.So I'm asking for Henrix's help that for the meantime, he acts as someone intimately in love

"A country we can trust if you wish to continue aborting the baby is in New Zealand," Doc Nerissa, an OB Gynecologist, premises. "Because in that country, they passed a bill wherein they treat abortion only a health issue not a crime. This is the safest route you can travel, Maui.”I didn't go home immediately after my round because I deliberately made Doc Nerissa here on the third floor of the hospital in his clinic. At this point, I think I really need some advice from the professionals.I'm afraid to make a decision on my own. As much as possible, I wanted to make a decision that I would not regret later."I've got to start packing my things, do you think, Doc?"I am still struggling to this day whether I will continue with my plan or not. So, I ended up heaving a sigh in front of her."Only if you're very sure about your plans. Are you sure about your plan, Maui?” She is asking me like she wants me to have a second thought."For most women, a baby is a blessing. Many of them still

This chapter intend to elaborate what happen to Maui after revealing her truth.---"How many times do I have to tell you that you can't just come here to my condo, Maui?! Have you forgotten the danger you might cause to me once people around here keep seeing us together?!”I just bowed my head and tightly held the strap of the shoulder bag I was carrying. Echo let me into her condo unit but we were only here behind the door. He said it's dangerous if he talks to me outside because he's afraid of the possibility I might be the cause of his image falling off the ground."You need to know something, that's why I'm here. It's not my intention to cause trouble, Echo." My voice is shaking.I was nervous to continue speaking because just from Echo's eyes, I could read that she couldn't accept what I had to say."Go straight to the point, Maui! Don't waste my time!”The nervousness I feel is increasing even more now that Echo's voice is raising me. He is desperate to get rid of me and I will
Vengeance of the Battered EPILOGUE
Gwen has already left me. And it took me years to forget her completely. I may have fallen for the same woman who has her looks too, but still there is something in Kris that makes me love her. Something that I didn't see in Gwen before - the fighting spirit that Kris has. "Exactly. Make sure you don't even think about what they will say. If they are not our family, their opinion doesn't count." I placed my hand on her head and kissed the top of her head. "I love you." The first 'I love you' I have told her... ever. "Until my last breath..." She looked up at me. "I will love you too." ***** LIAM After two years... "Here's your baby..." I handed to the mother the little baby that we had put in her diaper. "You're a mother of two now... Kris." She cried and took her baby from me. As a mother who is about to glimpse and tickle her child for the first time, I understand the story behind Kris's tears. She must be... really acting like this even before she gave birth to Audrey. "Tha

"Aether Entertainment is not complete without Miss Gwen–the one that served to be our mother. She honed our skills to make us shine and be talented, just by how you see us now. So, even just by the project we did for her we can show that with the things she is facing now, we wanted to show her she's not alone." That's a very sweet message I heard from Tanya. "And as we represent the other artists that's part of this project, we may show you the art of love." (Two voices, One song started to play) Along with the music video playing on the big screen, Tanya and Coreen sing along to the lyrics of one of the songs that have shaped our hearts. Right now, Kris is just staring at the huge screen while watching the music video... and it's absolutely pretty that Corrine's company makes use of some clips of Kris and me... which seem to be among the ones they took as they invade our privacy . While I was in the middle of enjoying the melody I was hearing, my heart suddenly dropped when I fel

"We're here to visit Miss Gwen. Where is her room, Doc-" I turned to face the woman who’s asking, and realized it was Tanya and Corrine. Both of them are wearing glasses. The only difference they had is Tanya is wearing a puff crisscross back dress in white color and she pairs her outfit with strap trendy flat sandals in beige color. While Corrine's outfit is always simple yet classy. She wears a solid cut out Mandarin collar dress and paired it with a black minimalist metal decor point toe slingback pumps. In other words, Tanya's outfit is how SHOPEE app users dress, while Corrine is for SHEIN's users. "I'm just reminding you that she doesn't remember or recognize anyone," I said to the two before they entered the room. And they retreated at the same time. "She has suffered a minor internal bleeding on her brain. As a complication, she lost her memory. But she has short-term memory loss." "There's still no definite time as to when she will regain her memory," I added. "So... sh

I thought before I went back to the hospital, I would pass by Lucile's funeral first. I can't just not show myself there and exhibit my greatest sympathy because of her family's loss. Even though she committed many sins in Kris and I's life, I still have at least a percent of gratitude for her for offering a friendship to Kris... even if it's not true. "My condolences." I don't know the old lady I met, but I guess she's one of the family members of the Soriano's. So, I proceeded to the long coffin and placed the flower I bought on top of it. Now... as I was able to see the dead body of Lucile, confirming she was really dead, I feel a mixture of sadness and joy. Maybe she has run out of time to change, but then... she deserves it. To me that she is in arrears, it's really funny that the demon's minion has picked her up. However, I was also sad because she will not be able to continue the only right thing she has done in her entire life--to save the lives of the stray dogs and cats.

She was walking back and forth tensely. "My concern is that they will know the location of this place. What if... they take all my pets from here? I can't accept that I took care of them and kept them alive only to die at their hands!" Oh shit. Because Liam and I didn't say anything to Hen that he should bring the police when he comes here, eh. "You go through there," she pointed to the back side of us and there was a door there. "Take that road out here. There's a car parked there and... get in it. It's more of a hassle if you take your car in front. The police will be here at any time." "Come with us-" "Not anymore, Liam." Lucile gave us her weak smile. "As long as I live, I will not let the police set foot on my territory. Until my last breath, I will protect them." The dogs and cats here are noisy and playing happily, they are very lucky to have Lucile. That even if I wanted to try to convince Lucile to just run away, I knew I would only fail. Because right at this moment, the
