All Chapters of The Playboy's Downfall: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

WHILE holding each other’s hands, they walked towards the park. One moment, Isla was surprised by Zero’s actions—well, he never failed to do it so.Diverting her thoughts about Zero, she then fixed her gaze on the dancing fountain. They walked a little bit closer, and they stopped near the lamppost.She tried to pull her hand out of his grip, but Zero grasped it tighter, and when he looked down to meet her eyes, he shook his head. “Let’s stay like this for a while,” he said.She sighed and then nodded. For the last time, she thought. She set aside her feelings for Zero for a while and let herself be taken to the rhythm and perfect view of the fountain. She tried to delve her connection deeper towards the different lights that flashed into the water. And started to hum to the music.Zero let out a smile while he’s staring at Isla. The woman never failed to amuse him. She’s been the sudden light of his darkest world, and tonight, he will remove that light once again.Then suddenly, he w

APOLLO was sending messages to Zero’s social media account when suddenly, Isla softly whimpered.Isla opened her eyes and her forehead creased as she wondered where she was. She moved her head, and her gaze darted to Apollo.“Hey,” Apollo greeted as he moved closer to her, “—how are you feeling?”She tried to get up, but she could feel that her body was weak. “W-Why am I here?” she asked.Apollo sighed and sat down on the chair. “Aren’t you feeling unwell the past few days? Are you having a hard time at school?”“What did the doctor say?”“It’s because of stress—”“Yeah, staying up late at night because of my activities is the reason,” she uttered and sighed. “Can I go home now?” she added.Apollo shook his head. “No. It’s not,” he said, which made Isla turn her gaze on him.“W-What do you mean?” she asked.Apollo looked intently at her. “I want to ask you a question. Please, answer it honestly, okay?”Suddenly, Isla started to feel jitters. It seems like Apollo found out something.“

“IT’S A GIRL!” The doctor asserted, making Isla cry. Her mom smiled at her and held her hand while she was lying on the bed. It was the day when they could find out about her baby’s gender, and nothing could change the happiness that she was feeling at the moment. Not until the door opened and shock filled her system when he saw her brother and behind him was Zero.Isla’s eyes grew bigger, and her tears continued flowing down her cheeks. Her grasp on her mom’s hand tightened. When she met Apollo’s gaze, his apology was visible.Apollo approaches the bed. “I… I am sorry—”“W-Why—”“I already knew it all along. And it was I—”“I am not talking to you,” Isla cut off Zero.Zero pressed his lips as he stared at Isla.The doctor wiped the lubricant jelly in her tummy and pulled down her dress. Isla got up and removed the blanket that covered her lower part.“E-Apollo, what is he doing here?” Her voice raised as fear and anger were visible in it. It’s her sixth month of pregnancy—her second

THE FOLLOWING DAY, the sun shone past through the window and was flashing bright towards the happy couples sleeping into the soft cottony sheets.Zero opened his eyes and smiled as he stared at Isla, who was peacefully sleeping in his arm. He lifted his hand and pushed back the strands of her hair. He runs his fingertips into her cheeks. Isla gained weight because of their child, and nothing changed. She’s still beautiful since the day they met.She heard her groan and slowly opened her eyes. “Good morning, sunshine,” Zero uttered with a smile creeping into his face.Isla thought what had happened yesterday was just a dream, but it turns out that it was real. She smiled at him. “Morning,” she mumbled and closed her eyes again.Zero frowned slightly. “Are you going to sleep again, baby?” he asked.Hearing Zero’s soft and calm voice made her feel thrilled and lucky. And damn, it still feels like she’s just dreaming.However, she knew that it was not.She opened her eyes again and met hi

“HERE,” Zero uttered when he put down the plate on the table.Isla arched her brow. “Why did you mix the mayonnaise and ketchup?” she asked.Zero sighed. “It was your mom who did it, baby. Not—”“What? Didn’t I tell you that you have to—”“Come on, baby….” Zero went closer to her and sat beside her, “—please… don’t make it too—”“So, you’re giving up?” Isla cut off the hum of his words.Zero shook his head. “It’s not like that—”“Then what?”He sighed once again and was about to reach for her hand when she moved away from him.Zero let out a soft chuckle. “Don’t be childish, baby—”“You called me childish?” Isla’s eyes widened, and she stood up.He doesn’t know how to react. And he just cursed inside his head. He totally forgot that some pregnant women are sensitive.“Baby… I’m so—”“Follow me to the room,” Isla asserted and started to walk her way toward the second floor of their house.Zero frowned slightly as he followed. He was about to step his foot on the staircase when he saw t
