All Chapters of DESTINED TO BE MINE: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Jay Pov...Since Joyce betrayed my trust, I've remained alone without any significant romantic connections. Occasionally, if the need arises, I engage the services of women for physical intimacy, but not as frequently as Daniel, and I never resort to drugging them. It has been ten years since I last had a woman to call my own.Having someone sit in my car, especially a woman, makes me uncomfortable. I find myself stealing glances at her while driving. With her inability to provide an address and constant complaints, I felt lost, unsure of where to take her. Suddenly, she shifted in her seat, causing her floral dress to rise, revealing her smooth thighs and a hint of her chest, nearly exposing her nipples as her jacket slipped off. I swallowed hard, my throat dry. "Miss, please stop moving!" I commanded, but she persisted, eventually unbuckling her seatbelt, exposing her entire body. I cursed under my breath, struggling to resist the urge to do something inappropriate."Are we still f

Dana Pov... Upon arriving home, I immersed myself in forwarding my resume and sifting through my emails for job applications. Opting for a day of rest, I abandoned my pursuit of a position at the Hyatt Hotel in BGC. I felt as though an eighteen-wheeler truck loaded with cement had plowed into me. Letting out a deep sigh, I acknowledged the necessity of nourishment to ward off any potential illness. Sulking wouldn't alter the situation, I reminded myself."Good day, Auntie Lydia. What's on the menu today?" I queried our long-time housekeeper, a cherished member of our extended family, just like her husband, Uncle Kanor, who served as our personal driver.She responded with a smile, "We have your favorite, pork binagoongan.""Fantastic! How about mom and dad? Where did they go?" I inquired suddenly."They left without a word, but your mother was in tears. I overheard from Kanor that they had an urgent matter." She relayed.After my meal, I retreated to my room to relax and review my jo

Dana Pov...Days and months passed swiftly, marking my third month at this job. Adjusting was a breeze due to the professionalism of my colleagues and the comprehensive training Montecillo Corp provided. I aimed to integrate these practices when managing my parent's business, a responsibility I couldn't evade; they relied solely on me. If only I had a brother, the burden wouldn't weigh as heavily.Lately, I've noticed some peculiar changes within me, like unexpected cravings for Japanese food and strong drinks, although I usually prefer homemade meals."Good morning, Ms. Dana. You seem tired." The hotel manager remarked, noting my fatigued appearance."Good morning, Mam Rayver. I may have skipped breakfast again." I replied, trying to compose myself."Please don't skip meals, Dana. Take care of your health and appearance. You are on the face of our hotel." She advised before leaving.As the staff prepared for an upcoming wedding event, I began feeling faint, likely due to skipping lun

Dana Pov...I feel a deep sense of gratitude for Daniel's unwavering support since he found out about my pregnancy. I shouldn't burden him as he doesn't have time to commit to himself busy looking for me but I can help as well and he insisted on helping me until we find the father of my child, though, I'm not hoping so much not to hurt myself.Without him, I believe I would have been struggling to make ends meet, possibly facing homelessness and more than what you think for leaving outside your comfort zone alone. He has been my guardian, ensuring that I will not only keep my job but also receive the necessary care. When he was around missing my parents hurt less.Fortunately, my baby's cravings are manageable, and I don't experience frequent bouts of nausea or dizziness which are common to pregnant people. Daniel has been by my side for every monthly checkup, and he even enrolled me in a yoga class for added support. He is not a parent yet but he knows how to treat a woman. I wonder

Jay Pov...Ever since the day I saw them together, my life has never been the same. I know, I feel like a dead man entering my office just to follow the normal routine. I spent days, weeks, and months hiding from them, my heart and brain were not yet ready to see them up close. The excitement I felt coming home and to see my favorite buddy again shattered just like that turning into a regrettable and remorseful feeling. Pain keeps on chasing me just like that and it's exhausting this time.Whenever I see them together at my favorite Coffee Shop, at the Japanese Restaurant, and in the park near here in my suite as well as Daniel’s taking her monthly check-up. It's too painful to handle the pain, drilling your heart into pieces and making you break. I could feel my heart slowly tearing a part that I couldn't breathe leaving me helpless as I get suffocated and frozen. I can't prevent my tears slowly falling thinking of them. How can I run from this excruciating pain that I always feel ev
