"Where are you taking me? Why don't you want to talk? Don’t you have a mouth?!" I asked, irritated when a strange man suddenly picked me up and put me in his black car. "You must be Lucile's staff-" "I'm not affiliated with that woman." "You're talking, I wish you had opened your mouth earlier!" The man driving didn't budge despite my yelling at him. If he was someone else, he would have thrown me out of the way. "So, where are you taking me?!" "Hospital-" "In the hospital?! Do I look sick-" "My grandmother wants to see and talk to you." I finally earned his interest to glance at my beauty. "So, don't say anything else. Save your voice for later." The guy left my mind hanging in the air. First question in my mind is, why does his grandmother have to see and talk to me? Do I look like a doctor? And by the way... who is this man's grandmother? What is my connection with their family? I was not friendly before. As my thoughts wiggled, I just woke up to the fact that we had arri
When I got home to the condo, there were familiar shoes I saw outside. I know those shoes are owned by Henrix, so I immediately peeked inside... and I found the living room where Henrix and Audrey were lying on the sofa bed. They are both asleep. Audrey's head rested on Hen's arm and her foot rested on his body. So, to not be a KJ if I wake up Henrix just to send him out of the house, Audrey might wake up too. It looks like he and Audrey did a lot of homework while I saw they had a lot of ballpoint pens, notebooks and some books scattered around the living room. So, instead of disturbing their peaceful sleep, I just kept quiet while putting away some of the clutter that looked like they had been sleeping. While cleaning the area, I find myself smiling while I couldn't stop myself glancing at the figures I'd love to see every time I open my eyes. Audrey is much closer to her daddy than me. Hen always helps her with her homework despite becoming busy in the hospital. My daughter is als
I've searched in the places where I know Lucile stays but I haven't seen any trace of her shadow at all. The windows and doors of her house are closed. In her favorite bar that she goes to, she is not there either. Even in her favorite hair salon, I don't see any traces of her. I can only think of one place she could go—to her mother’s place who is also a demon. So, on the way to Imelda's restaurant I ruined would be my destination. I would also like to know how her restaurant is doing, and whether people are still crowding it despite cleaning up the name after they accused me of the issue. And as I arrived at the place, I saw a lot of improvement than the last time I went here. The first time I went to this place, the name of the restaurant was just on a tarpaulin and then it was just hanging on a tree. But the change happened here, they now use billboards. On the side where the restaurant is located, there is a big billboard and the restaurant name is displayed there. "I guess it'
When half of the paper was burning, I turned off the flame. I handed it to Imelda with a mixed peace sign to tease her even more. Because she was able to make my head so hot with what she did to tease me earlier, I made her feel what it feels like to be teased. "If you can return this paper to the way it was before, go. But if you really can't find a way, maybe you should start begging a hundred thousand pesos from people, so that you can collect the hundred thousand you owe to the person who’s now chasing you. " I felt it in my pocket and took out a coin. "I am your number one donor." I put it in her hand before I left her restaurant that she made beautifully... but I assumed after my arrival, she will regret spending a lot rather than thinking about paying off a loan to the person who she has debt to pay. The moment that happened today is one of the most satisfying moments I have ever had. Since the very first day I became part of their family after marrying Liam Soriano, I didn'
"I was looking for you all over the world. You're just here," I said to the bartender at the counter and told the girl even from behind, I already knew her. "Is this where Ivan always takes you?" "Not by Ivan... but by my longtime boyfriend." She faced me and even offered me the glass she was holding, but I refused. Later there is a sleeping pill mixed in. "You, I didn't expect you to be an empty bar now that you're jobless." "For just a month." I just asked the bartender for water instead of alcohol. If Lucile is the only one I can drink with, nah… forget it. It would end up surely boring. "I really would have to thank Jessica for directing me here. Finally, I found you." "Do you need something? Or just want to apologize again?" "Is there something I need to apologize for?" I shook the water in the glass. It's like what arrogant CEOs do on TV. The only difference is that the wine in their wine glass is red wine, mine is just water. "If you're concerned about ruining the weddin
I want to be sure if the man I saw is really Henrix. So, I was planning to go upstairs as well when someone grabbed my hand. It was Liam who met my eyes, panting. "Audrey is in the hospital." The words I heard made me shrink back to follow the two of them to the second floor. I didn't hesitate to be bothered by them because I was hurrying to get in the car to the hospital where Liam took my daughter. "What the hell has happened?!" In a situation like this, no one would ever be able to ask me to calm down. "First day with my daughter, what did you do, Liam?!" “I… I don't even know-” "You are a doctor! Why don't you know?" Despite my driving speed, I managed to catch a glimpse of him at least for a moment. "I gave you ¼ of my trust and all I ask of you is to take care of Audrey for me! I didn't say the hospital would take care of him!” Damn it! Damn! I'm so pissed right now. I want to punch. I want to pee. I want to hurt! But the Lord didn't just make me a demon to do that—and in t
And the two proceeded to their respective rooms for donating blood. While I was left in front of Audrey's room. They say I haven't been able to go in yet because the nurses there are still taking care of my daughter. So, my eyes were left fastened to Liam, walking away. At that time, I still had the courage to tell someone like Liam who had a mental problem, and the fear I still have in me that an attack would happen again, I judged him he's not able to be a good father to Audrey. I told myself then that Liam is the type that I don't see a shadow of being a good father. Because of his condition back then, the promises he made during our wedding that he'll make me happy and treat me his number one queen becomes the opposite as he brings me into the kingdom swallowed by the darkness. And I should have understood there's this underlying condition he has that's why he has hurt me a lot of times. Because of the many things that happened before, my heart lost its place to understand. Espec
Because the pain is not tolerable. It still hurts to hear from his mouth that he is taking me back to the person I first felt love for. It's like I'm just an ordinary thing to Henrix that he's now returning to its owner. "I'll do rounds with the patients in the chin. I'll leave you here." He tapped my shoulder as he stood. He bowed to me slightly, as if he had forgotten something to say. "If you ever think of coming back to him, don't hesitate. Do what you must. Go with someone who makes you happy.” I only watched him go outside of the room. I was not even able to speak or even ask about something that with the many events that took place, my mind about that was lost. I have realized just now the need to ask Henrix being on a bar exactly the time Audrey has been put into hospital. Is he really the man I saw with Lucile there or not? ***** "I bought a lot. Which of these do you want to eat?” A bag of beef mami, porridge and soup were the food I bought for Liam. I don't know what
