(1st. June. Thursday.)"Happy new month, Leo."Leo looked at her as he was about to wear his jacket. "You're awake."Alexa nodded. "Yeah. And you're already dressed for work.""Told you I have an early meeting."Alexa sighed. "Yeah, you did. So, um, there's a special day this month, you know that right?""Father's day?"Alexa chuckled. "Yeah. That, and your birthday. Two days it seems.""Oh." Leo gaped, and then he nodded putting on his tie. "Yeah.""We should celebrate it this time, Leo. I really don't like the fact that you neglect it. It's an important day."Leo sighed, picked up his shoes, sat on the bed, and began wearing them. "I've told you times without number, Alexa. It's nothing to celebrate.""Everyone's birthday is worth celebrating.""Not mine, Alexa. It makes me remember things that I don't want to remember. The main purpose of why I was brought to life.""You're letting it affect you, Leo. You shouldn't keep letting it. I feel like you just hate celebrations as a whole.

Alexa looked outside her window, her brow furrowed as she saw a car stopped in front of their gate. "Someone is here, Leo."Leo looked at her and got up toward the window. He tried wrapping his hands around her, but she wiggled herself away and walked toward the door. "We should go check who that is."Leo sighed feeling frustrated at Alexa. He was beginning to wonder what he'll do to appease her.Alexa left the room and Leo followed. They both walked down the stairs and as she was about to walk out of the door... "Leave it be, Alexa. I'll handle it."Alexa looked at him and sighed, then she looked toward the movie room, or as her kids like to call it, their game room. The door was ajar, so she decided to go meet them.Leo watched her go, he shook his head and proceeded out the door, and toward the gate. He opened it as the visitor was about to knock."Hi."Leo looked at her in confusion. She was oddly familiar. "Do I know you?""If I'm that lucky to be remembered, we've taken glances

Four days later. (5th June. Monday.)"Hey! Charlotte!" Aria called as Charlotte was about to walk past her.Charlotte stopped in her tracks and turned toward Aria. Aria did the same, her hands folded, giving Charlotte a smug smile."What do you want, Aria?"Aria walked toward her. "I don't like the attitude you've been giving to me, Charlotte. Don't you think it's high time you apologize to me?""Apologize?" Charlotte asked with a frown. "We both know I did nothing wrong.""Does it matter?""If it doesn't matter, then why not apologize to me instead?"Aria scoffed. "Apologize to you? You must have been dreaming big to ever think that."Charlotte sighed and nodded. "Then don't call me when you see me. If you don't apologize, this friendship is over." She turned and walked away.Aria gritted her teeth at her retreating back and turned toward her other friend who just watched. "It seems Charlotte has grown some wings."Her friend blinked nervously. "Truth be told, you wronged her, Aria.

[Three weeks and four days later. (22nd. June. Wednesday.)]"Alan has officially left the school. How are you doing?"Joseph lowered his head. "A bit guilty. If I had reported, I would have saved them earlier on."The principal sighed. "You don't have to blame yourself. Does your dad know everything that's happening?"Joseph nodded. "Yeah. He's just too busy to concern himself. He knows I'm safe.""And you are? I just don't want you to get affected by it. Make new friends, okay?"Joseph nodded. "Yes, ma'am.""Do the Hodges still bother you?"Joseph shook his head. "In a while, they haven't. I guess they're waiting for things to die down first. I'm really scared of them, ma'am."The principal sighed. "If any complaints about them come to my table again, I'll make sure I do something about it.""What about their father? He defends them. He doesn't even know his kids are bullies""Well, next time, when they bother you, be smart about it. There needs to be evidence to prove those kids are

Alexa was browsing seriously on the file Leo brought home, leaning against the headboard, and smiled knowing her company is really left in good hands. Everything was moving smoothly, and her stock prices rising. Some members of her board even told her that truly Leo is extremely annoying, can be disrespectful, and is too annoyingly straightforward, but he does a good job. His ideas, terrific.She looked as the door opened and Leo entered in. "Going through the folder?" He asked seeing the file in her hands.Alexa nodded and dropped it on the vanity. "Done tucking your daughter to bed?"Leo smiled and sat beside her. "She loves my stories.""Hmm. I'm kinda having a feeling she won't grow out of it." Alexa disclosed.Leo nodded. "I'll stop it sooner, or instead reduce it. She'll definitely grow up."Alexa equally nodded. "So, what's going on these days?""With work?" Leo asked confused."Your life. I can't help, but feel you're up to something."Leo rose a brow. "What got you that idea?

"Hey, Rob." Joseph went to sit beside him feeling kinda nervous."Joe. What is it?"Joseph shrugged. "Just wondering if you guys need one more friend."Rob looked at his other friends and back at him. "Why?"Joseph shook his head. "Nothing. Somehow I just feel making friends with you guys is perfect. I think I want to stand up against Damien Hodge and even his siblings.""Damien?" Mike asked.Joseph nodded. "Yeah. As you guys know you're not the only one who has ended up in his angry fist. It's so unfair how he gets to throw his fist in anger and without thoughts, don't you think?"Jake shook his head. "I don't think I'm okay with it. What can we do about it? It's only when we cross their paths that it happens. If we don't, nothing happens."Rob nodded. "Jake is right.""But you guys don't like him, do you?""Indeed we don't, but we can't do anything about it," Mike told him."Why're your eyes on him?" Kara asked Damon.Damon looked around her and shook his head. "Nothing. Just wonder

(24th. June. Friday.)Alexa sat on her couch in a brooding sensation. She felt alone in a house as big as hers. For years, it's been that way and it made her wonder how long she can cope with it.She doesn't have any friends she can call out to and will immediately listen.She wondered if Leo actually care about what she might be feeling. He can't even at least give himself a leave from work.Apparently, when he's working, he's really into it.She decided to call the only friend she seem to have. The only close one.After two rings..."Hey." Alexa smiled over the phone."Hey, Alexa. How are you?""I'm fine, Em. I'm just wondering if you're busy. If you have the chance for us to meet."Emily blinked. "Oh, um, I'm sorry Alexa, but I'm not free"Alexa's face fell. "Really?""Yeah? Is there anything you want to talk about?"Alexa shook her head. "No. Nothing. It's actually fine. I should leave you to your work." She said and hung up with a sigh as it was expected.She doesn't know if Emil

(25th. June. Saturday.)"Don't bother yourself too much in it, honey."He looked at his wife and shook his head. "I don't trust him, Mia. He was a friend of me and Renard, and right from time, he has always been wild, a bully. I don't like him being around.""Renard doesn't seem to think the same way, Eric. They're really close."Eric nodded. "Yeah they are, and that's why I can't stop Renard from getting involved with Harrison. It's his life.""Just hope he's careful. Harrison seems to be bad news."Eric nodded again. "Indeed."Then he looked and saw his daughter. "Hey, how long have you been there?"A clash and impact on the ground made Alexa open her eyes and woke up. She narrowed her sleepy eyes on her son picking up what he fell. "Damien?"Damien looked at his mom with widened eyes. "Oh. Sorry, mom. Daddy sent me to get something." He said arranging things back.Alexa sighed and sat up. "What thing?""Nothing to bother about, mom." He said, then he climbed on the bed toward her a

(28th. June. Tuesday.)Leo walked into the dining in amusement upon seeing his wife and kids arranging the food she prepared on the table. "Now I'm feeling this day is special since it can only explain why my wife woke up early today."Alexa walked toward him with a smile, wrapping her arms around his neck, and gave Leo a kiss he definitely did not expect. He was taken aback by it. "Whoa, babe. Is there an occasion?" He said holding her sides."Does kissing you mean there's an occasion?"He looked at the table. "For one, breakfast looks serious, and for zero, what woke you up?" He asked looking at her.Alexa dropped her hands, placing them on his. "Happy birthday, Honey."Leo's face fell..."Happy birthday, dad!"He looked at his children and back at Alexa. "I told you....""It's best we don't go through this now. The kids are watching, let's eat." She said leaving Leo's hold.Leo blinked and turned to his kids. "I'm sorry about this, but daddy's got an important meeting to attend..."

Leo and his kids got home, and they immediately ran to their mom who strode down the stairs upon hearing the car arrive.She smiled as they hug her. "Hey..." She said, trying her best to be in a good mood. Truth be told, the morning drama took a toll on her. It felt like it's been a long while since Leo angrily yelled at her."You guys should go freshen up this instant," Leo told the kids, wanting to have a moment with his wife.The kids nodded and ran up the stairs toward their rooms.Leo walked closer, dropping his suitcase on a table before walking past it and halting in front of Alexa.At that moment, she felt like there was tension brewing in the air. Leo's face was blank and unreadable, so she couldn't decipher what his words could be to her."So,..." He let out a throaty chuckle that didn't change his blank expression. "I saw your gift."At that moment, thoughts began bombarding her head. She wasn't sure what to think. Did he like it? Did it spice his anger more? She wasn't sur
