All Chapters of Illicit Affairs Series 1: Professor Rex Montello: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Rex's POVHow will you know if the person is really for you? Is it when you are ready to fight for her? Or when you are ready to sacrifice everything you have... even your life and family... just for her and your love for her?I sighed deeply as I maintained my focus on the papers on my table. It's been a year since Eliyah begged and knelt down in front of our gate. I remember it so clearly. How she cried over and over again while begging... and I almost ran to her and embraced her. "N-Nagmamakaawa ako, Rex. Tulungan mo ako. T-Tulungan mo ang anak m-mo..." Her whispers rang on my ear once again. Napapikit ako at hinilot ang aking sentido na para bang pinapasakit nito ang aking ulo. It has always been like this. Hindi ko maalis sa isip ko at sa sistema ko ang lahat ng nangyari noon. And everytime I recalled it, my heart hurts. Hindi ko alam kung para ba iyon sa akin o para kay Eliyah.I didn't even know if what she told me was real. Pero alam ko sa sarili kong may posibilidad iyon. W

Eliyah's POV"M-Mommy?" a sad voice woke me up from my deadly sleep. Hindi ko alam kung tama ba ang pagkakarinig ko o guni guni ko lang iyon. I'm sure it was Elijah's voice. I wanted to open my eyes to check if it was really him, but I can't. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang mayroon at pakiramdam ko hindi ako makagalaw. At wala akong ibang magawa kung hindi ang mag-isip na lamang.I'm tired already. For everything that has happened, I just wanted to give up and to stop all of my plans. Pero tuwing ini-isip ko ang paghinto sa paghihiganti, pakiramdam ko, si Rexie naman ang masasaktan ko. I feel like I needed to avenge her from those who deprived her help... including her father. Pero... masaya ba ako? That's just a simple question yet so hard to answer. Of course I'm happy with Elijah! I'm happy together with my son! But I can't help myself sometimes to wonder if this is the environment I wanted him to grow up to? Is this the kind of parenting I wanted him to go through? Masaya at kunten

Eliyah's POVI saw the disgust in Rex's mother's face as she looked at me. Ramdam ko ang disgusto niya sa akin at dahil doon ay nahihiya akong yumuko. I can feel that she wants me to leave now... but Rex doesn't want me to. He says he needs me to be beside him. Kaya kahit na ayaw ako ng mommy ni Rex na nandito ay wala itong magawa. She's letting his son get all he wants... including me."Mom, can you leave us alone first?" Nagulat ako dahil sa sinabing iyon ni Rex. Agad kong inangat ang ulo ko at nakita kong hindi nagustuhan ng mommy niya ang sinabi ni Rex! Fuck! Ako rin naman, hindi nagustuhan ang sinabi niya!Nakakahiya!"U-Uh... Rex-"I was cut off by his mother. She laughed awkwardly before slowly nodding her head."O-Okay, son. I'll be back later, hmm? I just need to attend something important." marahan niyang ani bago hinalikan sa pisngi ang anak. "Mom!" Rex moaned after the kiss.Napangisi naman ang kanyang ina bago tuluyang lumabas. But before she leaves us, she glared at me

Eliyah's POVParang nawala ang bigat sa dibdib ko pagkapasok ko sa Hospital room ko. I saw Elijah sitting on my bed while Nadia is beside him, reading him a book. Agad akong lumapit sa kanila. They both looked at me and I saw how my son's eyes brigthened up because of me. Napangiti ako dahil doon."Let's rest now, baby?" malambing kong ani.He immediately and happily nodded his head at me. "Please, mom?" he pleaded while pouting.Napatawa ako dahil doon. I looked at Nadia who's also smiling while watching us. When our eyes met, she winked at me and smiled. Tumayo siya at lumapit sa akin."Uuwi muna ako. Babalik ako para sa dinner niyo mamaya,"Nginitian ko siya bago niyakap. "Thank you so much for always staying on my side, Nadia. I owe you a lot." sinsero kong saad.Naluluha siyang umiling. "Wala 'yon, Eliyah. Para na rin kitang kapatid."Nagyakapan pa kaming muli bago siya tuluyang umalis. "Do you want mommy to read you the book?" malambing kong tanong kay Elijah.He nodded his hea

Eliyah's POVRamdam ko ang saya ni Elijah habang kumakain kami ng aming dinner. His smiles were brighter now than before. I smiled genuinely to myself. Because finally, my son is receiving every happiness in the world and I know that he deserves it. He deserves it so so much.Pagkatapos naming magyakapan kanina ay saka ako naghanda ng aming dinner. I informed Nadia that I will be the one who will cook for our dinner. Napangisi ako nang maalala ang ngisi niya sa akin nang sabihin ko iyon. She never asked me of anything anymore. She just nodded her head then winked at me before she left. But I know what was running in her mind."Mom, when we will be going back to States?" inosenteng tanong ni Elijah.Napaangat ako nang tingin sa kanya dahil sa biglaan niyang pagtanong niyon. Slowly, I turned my head at Rex whose eyes are now serious and black. Naka-yuko siya at umaaktong hindi narinig ang sinabi ng anak. His jaw is a little bit clenched and I know how hard he was trying to restrain himse
