Lexie quickly shot up from bed and immediately scanned the room, feeling confused when she realized she was in the room she shared with Ram.She was confused.She expected to be in the hospital after what had happened to her and the baby.She immediately held her head when she felt a sharp pain, but even though it hurt, she still tried to get up.They both got startled when one of the maids entered the room carrying a glass and a pitcher of water.“You’re awake, ma’am. How are you feeling?”The maid asked, and Lexie forced a smile as she replied.“I’m okay, thanks, Saska. By the way, where’s Ram? Is he in the study working again?”She asked with a slight shake of her head, but her smile faded when she saw the maid’s confused reaction.“Isn’t Sir Ram in Cebu, ma’am Lexie?”The maid asked back, causing Lexie to become even more confused.“Cebu? But he... Ram came home, he led the team to catch Rafael and Amanda. We were together,”Lexie replied, which made the maid furrow her brows in c

“Do you have any news from him? Did he call you back?”Her friend Amy asked, looking at her intently.Lexie forced a smile and slowly shook her head in response.“No, Amy, I did not call him.”She answered dryly.Amy’s brows furrowed immediately before speaking again.“Lexie, you need to. What about Macy’s medication? We both know that he’s the only one who can help with your problem.”Lexie sighed heavily and tried to ignore her friend’s words, instead, she focused on the scattered papers on her office table.“Really? You’re really going to ignore me? Lex, it’s been six years, six years with Macy. Don’t you think it’s about time to contact the father?”Amy added. Lexie squeezed her eyes shut, then turned to face her.“It’s already been six years, you’re right, Amy. Six long years of torment, and everything is still fresh in my mind. The day you helped me out, the first day you saw me crying in the rain—it’s still so clear to me, so clear that it feels like it only happened yesterday.

It was half-past eight in the morning when Lexie dropped her daughter off at the daycare center, and it was past nine when she entered the reception of the company where she worked.Immediately, she was greeted by a pile of files on her desk. She sighed heavily before starting to work.It was mid-morning, and during the employee break, she reached for the phone and dialed a series of digits. After a few rings, the receptionist from the pediatric clinic where she took Macy a while ago answered. Macy’s results could not be given over the phone, so an appointment was set for later this afternoon at four o’clock. Her voice was trembling, and Lexie had no choice but to agree, sensing that the news she would hear might not be good.She closed her eyes tightly after saying goodbye to the receptionist and hanging up the phone.“God, please don’t let it be bad... my daughter’s already been suffering, please don’t let it get worse…”Lexie prayed silently, and it was at this moment that Amy appr

It’s been almost three days and Lexie lost track of how many times she had tried calling her family, hoping that even one of them would pick up. She had already tried searching on the internet but got nothing.Lexie sighed as she punched her cousin Claire's number one more time, but like the previous attempts, her call didn’t go through."Any news?" Amy asked, to which Lexie simply shook her head."So, what’s your plan now?" her friend asked, and Lexie let out a deep sigh before answering."I don’t really know.""Okay, well, why don’t you try calling the father?" Amy suggested, and Lexie immediately winced at the thought."Amy, no, the guy may have a family of his own, a beautiful wife, and God knows how many children. Plus, I really don’t think I can do it."Lexie bit her lip as she spoke."Well, what’s your plan then? With the amount of money your daughter needs, even if we beg, it won’t be enough.""I know that, Amy. Tomorrow, I’m going back to Manila."She said, and her friend fel

A few more days passed, and Lexie was still waiting for a call from her ex-husband. She tried to keep her mind off it and worked diligently in an effort to stay calm, while also making sure to spend time with her daughter. She applied for a work-from-home arrangement, which the new management approved, as she had the most valid reasons for it.At exactly two-fifteen, Lexie jumped off her seat and made her way to pick up Macy from school.She couldn’t help but smile when she saw her daughter happily playing with her classmates. Her daughter gave her the sweetest smile the moment she saw her."Yey! You picked me up today!"Her daughter said excitedly, hopping towards her."Mommy will be picking you up from now on,"Lexie said, hugging her daughter tightly."It is still pretty early, don’t you think?"She said, smiling. Macy tried to look at her pink Barbie-designed digital watch. She giggled when she saw the puzzled look on her face as she tried to read the time.Lexie tried to dismiss

They just finished having dinner, and Lexie was trying hard to have fun with her daughter, who had been complaining about how difficult the puzzle she chose to solve was.She was trying so hard not to think about Ram Jordan and failed miserably.She seemed unable to remove the image of him from her mind, and it was killing her. It had been six years since she last saw him, and she wouldn’t deny that Ram still had the same effect on her. He still had the same ability to send her heart into another dimension she had no idea where to find.“Are you okay, Mom?”Her daughter asked, with a furrowed brow, as she had been staring at her for a while without Lexie noticing. Lexie quickly forced a smile and nodded.“Are you thinking about my medicines again? And the doctors for when I get my operation?”Her daughter asked with concern. Lexie immediately fell silent, surprised and puzzled by her question.She never mentioned anything to her daughter. Macy knew that she was sick, but Lexie never m

76 Ram’s six years

“What the fuck do you think you’re doing here?”Ram Jordan asked the moment he saw Honey entering his office building.Annoyed, he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her out of his office.“Hey, easy! That hurts.”The woman complained, which only made Ram even more irritated.“What made you think you can just barge in here? Being with you has already caused enough damage to my relationship with my wife, and I’m working so hard to fix that. If she sees you here, everything will fall apart again. So leave.I’m ending whatever relationship we had, Honey. I mean it. Leave.”Ram became even more irritated when she just smirked at him before responding.“Oh no. I’m afraid you can’t do that.”She said as she pulled out a piece of paper from who knows where and handed it to him.Ram’s brow furrowed as he read what was written on it.“I’m pregnant, Ram. You’re the father.”She said. Ram clenched his jaw upon hearing that and glared at the woman.“We only slept together once. How am I supposed t

77 Ram

"Nothing, these files are showing nothing!"Frustrated, Ram crumpled the papers spread out on his desk."It’s been almost six years, Ram. Maybe it’s time we stop. If she wanted us to find her, with all these endless investigations, it’s impossible that we wouldn’t find even a single lead. Maybe she really doesn’t want to be found anymore?"Claire, Lexie’s cousin, who was also helping in the search, said sadly."No, maybe all these investigators aren’t good enough. Maybe I should hire more."Ram replied, refusing to listen to his wife’s cousin.Claire looked sadly at her husband, Andrew."We’ve already done everything, Ram. Even contacted everyone who could’ve helped her, but still nothing. Knowing my cousin, she wouldn’t have gone far. It’s either Cavite or London. We’ve searched everywhere, but we still haven’t found any lead."She added. Ram sighed heavily and slumped into his swivel chair, fiddling with the pencil in his hand."I’m not giving up, Claire. I’ll find Lexie no matter w

Six years hadn’t dimmed her memory by the slightest degree; if anything, the passage of those years had only served to magnify the qualities of the man Ram Jordan had become—Lexie doubted she would ever be able to forget.Almost an hour had passed since Ram left, and here she was, unable to sleep. Lexie tried different sleeping positions and failed miserably. Every time she closed her eyes, Ram’s handsome face appeared. Every deep breath she took brought the scent of his cologne—strong and masculine.Ram Jordan is still Ram Jordan. Nothing had changed. If anything, she thought he’d gotten even more handsome. And how old is he now?Forty-one?Lexie sighed and forced herself to sleep, only to end up jumping off the bed. She didn’t know whether to be thankful that it was Saturday tomorrow and there were no classes, so she could stay up late, or to be even more annoyed at herself after glancing at the clock and seeing it was already past eleven.“Oh, for the love of God, Rammel Oliver Jor

The sun was already high when Lexie woke up. Her daughter Macy was still asleep, so she let her be since there was no school.It was past nine when Macy woke up, and the first thing she looked for was her dollhouse.Lexie couldn’t do anything but let her play while she busied herself in the kitchen.“Mom, I forgot to tell you—it’s my classmate Carl’s birthday today.”Lexie almost jumped in surprise when Macy excitedly said this. Her daughter stood at the kitchen doorway with a guilty look on her face.“I startled you, didn’t I?”Macy asked. Lexie gave her the sweetest smile and nodded.“You did. Now, why don’t you go find the best dress to wear to Carl’s party?”She said with a smile. Macy nodded excitedly and skipped off toward her room.—Lunch was light, as Macy was too excited to eat much with all the sweets she expected at Carl’s birthday party.“Are you ready, babe?”Lexie asked, amused at how pretty Macy looked in the pink dress she had chosen to wear.“Checklist time!”Lexie g
