Chapter Twenty One

~Agathe~We arrived at Gunther's house with Carlyle falling asleep in my arms. She wouldn't let go despite Gunther's efforts to pry her away from me. "Mommy. ."Carlyle murmured and went back to sleep again. God, how could I possibly resist that cuteness? My heart constricted in pain. I didn't tell Carlyle anything about her proposal from the hospital. Yet, here she is. Wholly accepting me as her new mother. It was so unlooked-for, never in my wildest dreams would I imagine myself being smitten with someone's daughter. I bit my lower lip and stared at Gunther apologetically, fighting the urge to shed a tear. "You know, I didn't tell her to call me that. It was her who-"Gunther cut me off. "I know, love. I overheard your conversation with her."My mouth parted. "What? You eavesdropped on us?" "Yeah." He looked away for a second, probably wanting me to drop the topic. "Here. Give her to me."Gunther opened his arms one more time.I transferred Carlyle into his lap as gently as p

Chapter Twenty Two

~Gunther~I wanted her to get jealous. I wanted her to snatch my heart away. I wanted her to help me heal. I want her to want me, to own me. Yet, she chose to wipe away her tears and raise an eyebrow at me instead.Did I see the hurt in her eyes, or was it merely a figment of my imagination?"How can you say you're in love with her, if you're sleeping with other women? Hmm?" For a while, I was unable to speak. I have to confess, she had me there.Though, she made a mistake by believing that lie. That cock and bull story of mine. "Did you honestly fall for that lie, love? The only woman I slept with was you." The look on her face when I said the last part was priceless, I nearly cackled. "Well, almost. I almost slept with you." I took the initiative to correct myself. She scoffed, trying to process what I said. "So, I. . I cheated with you?" My head tipped to one side, leaving a crease across my forehead. "What?" "We cheated on Carlyle's mother, didn't we?" She appeared to be

Chapter Twenty Three

~Agathe~It has been so long since I had a good night's sleep. I was accustomed to staying up late and getting up early back in Snowflake Village, in an effort to make ends meet.I was adamant to work and make money so I could pay for my mother's surgery. Now was the only time I had gone to bed at seven in the evening and woken up when the sun had already risen. I groaned in contentment, opened my eyes, and saw myself lying beside Carlyle and Gunther.They were still sound asleep. I smiled, happiness flooding my heart.I could swear, they are the most lovely thing to see in the morning.Three days ago, they were complete strangers to me. Beats me how quickly they were able to take a piece of my heart.All of a sudden, Carlyle unconsciously hugged my body, murmuring something. "Mommy. ." God. What did I do to deserve this sweet, little girl? I returned Carlyle's embrace and decided to let myself drift off to sleep again, relishing the moment of being able to hold her in my arms.

Chapter Twenty Four

~Yesenia~"Yesenia Daenerys."Thump thump. Thump thump. Cripes! That deep voice startled me out of nowhere, causing me to stop in my tracks. My heart pounded like a drum in my chest, its booming was furious and incessant.My knees suddenly shook, it was starting to feel a little bit wobbly.I am aware that it was him, the man who had been the subject of my fantasies for years. He rarely speaks to me unless it was something significant about our work. So, I was guessing it was either about the young master or perhaps the young lady. However, I was not in the best mood to talk to him right now.For crying out loud, he just caught me sneaking a glimpse at him while he was sparring with the young master.I have done this before and this was the first time he had caught me in the act, something I couldn't brush off. I pretended not to hear anything and continued to make my way up the stairs to the theater room's exit.Once I was outside, I exhaled a loud sigh of relief. "Phew. I barel

Chapter Twenty Five

~Agathe~I know I shouldn't have said that. I shouldn't have challenged him. I might be the sore loser at the end. How can I risk my heart at someone like Gunther who told me that he is still in love with Carlyle's mother? Besides, Gunther is way too out of my league. Like my usual mantra, 'Stinking rich people are only for stinking rich people'. Though, I am dying to know how to be loved by someone like him.For Gunther to cherish Carlyle's mother in his heart, even after four years of not seeing her again, is somehow fascinating. It speaks volumes, a man like that is rare to find. Suddenly, I could feel my heart harboring resentment toward that woman. How did she manage to capture Gunther's heart? I am effin curious about her. I want to know everything there is to know about her. "Having second thoughts, love?" Gunther asked, he was busy strapping the boxing hand wraps on my semi-clenched fists.He told me it was necessary before putting the actual boxing gloves on. "I. . u

Chapter Twenty Six

~Gunther~ When Agathe assured me that she would make me want to forget everything about Carlyle's mother and only make me think about her from now on, I believed her. I was not sure if I should be regretful that I caved into her persistence because look at her now, pretending she has a terrible headache so that I may stop our sparring match. Yet in the end, I gave in. I know I should be alarmed. Because little by little, she was changing me. She was not even trying that hard. "Alright. Looks like you're not feeling well, love. Shall we carry on tomorrow?" I got up, offering my hand to her. "Come on. Let's wake Carlyle up and have some breakfast." I reached out my hand to her, and she took her time to accept it. When she did, I helped her stand up, our lips almost crashing with each other. She covered her mouth immediately, looking embarrassed. "Why? You still haven't brushed your teeth, have you?" I ribbed her. She slowly moved away, releasing my grip on her. "Gunther,

Chapter Twenty Seven

~Agathe~"Last night, when Gunther and Carlyle slept next to me, I realized something. I was the happiest I had ever been since my mama was diagnosed with cancer." I whispered, pouring all of my emotions into Yesenia. I held her hand and allowed her to see what I really felt for her young master. "I had given the matter some thought and made up my mind. I prayed to God last night and when I woke up this morning with them by my side, I got my answer."I truly appreciated how patient and attentive Yesenia was to me. She was completely motionless, not even blinking or moving her gaze away from me. "Yen, I want to pursue Gunther and Carlyle. I wanted to be a permanent part of their life."Yesenia caught her breath, her eyes widening in shock. Before she could respond, I resumed telling her what was inside my heart. Even though we didn't spend much time together yet, I felt confident in her. Something was telling me I could trust her no matter what."Funny because I know very well not

Chapter Twenty Eight

~Agathe~It was hard to like someone. And, it was harder to like someone who loves someone else.I would have carefully guarded my heart around Gunther if I had known about it. In a desperate attempt to lessen the pain I was feeling, I tapped my chest several times. However, as Yesenia carried on with her story, she seemed to be somewhat unaware of it. "When they accidentally bumped into each other, Sir Gunther was beyond mesmerized."Ohh, God.The fact that Yesenia's eyes were once again beaming with admiration, much to my chagrin, made those words kind of sting. "Time stood still, he was absolutely enthralled. Again, it was his exact words, young lady. Not mine." I scoffed, unintentionally rolling my eyes at Yesenia. "Which makes me wonder how you were able to remember his exact words, Yen. It has been five years, you say?"Jokingly, I moved my face closer to hers. "Are you, by any chance, the mother of Carlyle?" The subsequent hush was so uncomfortable that I almost believed Y

Chapter Twenty Nine

~Gunther~I kept looking at Agathe to see if she was still mad at me. But to my dismay, she wouldn't spare me even a single glance. She and Carlyle were both seated on my right side, appearing as though they were having their own, little world without me. I am a bit jealous, honestly. Breakfast was brought out in a matter of seconds after that. Looking delighted, Carlyle shrieked and clapped her hands. "Yay! Strawberry French toast with cream! My favorite! I haven't eaten this for forever, Daddy!""Has mom restrained you from having this, baby?" I asked, brows raised. "Yes, Daddy. There's a lot of food Granny Flo wouldn't let me eat back at the mansion." She pouted. "She's that cruel sometimes." "Well, starting today, you can have this for breakfast every time you eat with me." "Yehey!" Agathe smiled at my daughter's reaction."This is also your favorite, sweetheart? Wow. What a sweet coincidence." Carlyle nodded, giggling. "Yes, Mommy. Daddy and I love to eat this for breakfa

Chapter Thirty

~Agathe~In the plush backseat of his car, Gunther was seated directly next to me. I didn't give a damn if he could feel me staring at him incessantly from head to toe. Once more, seeing him dressed in a fancy three-piece suit sparked the kind of desire I am not even aware I had. How can he be so good-looking in everything he wears? He looks absolutely stunning no matter what he puts on.How on earth is that even possible? Not to mention he smells so damn good. And, watching the way his Adam's apple moves sensually every time he speaks on his earpiece is indeed breathtaking.Definitely, a wonderful sight to behold, his insane handsomeness is compelling me to lose my mind. "Stop staring at me, love. Because soon enough, it's going to become a habit of yours. Though, I would love that to happen."Gunther spoke, but he didn't glance at me; he was focused on the laptop sitting on his lap. I pretended not to hear him at all as I sat upright and rolled my eyes at him. He could have at
