Ulie's Excuse
Ulie asked me to come with him to the airport to fetch his parents. Today is the scheduled arrival of his parents.I was hesitant because I want them to settle down first before we started to reveal to them about the twins, but Ulie keeps on insisting that I should go with him. I had no choice but to oblige. I chose to wear a straight-cut long sleeve dress with a busy pattern to camouflage my nearly six-month bump. I partnered it with black Balenciaga slingback ballerinas flat shoes.I wanted to hide my pregnancy first from his parents. I don't want to shock them the moment they saw me having a baby bump with Ulie.We've arrived at the airport. I told them I gave him a mask since my pregnancy was still hot news to the media.He shook his head, but he still follows what I want. He knew that I couldn't be stressed.Moments later, I saw Ulie waving at a couple. It looks like those were his parents. Now I knew why this guy beside me looks this hot. His parents' looks were exemplary.His

Trauma
I don't think it's right to eavesdrop on their conversation. I decided to go back to Jace’s table. “What happened, Ms. Cabello? Why did you come back here?” Jace asked.“Ulie has a visitor, and I don't think it's right I disturb them. Also, you guys are supposed to come with me to this meeting, right?” I said instead.It's true, though. They suppose to come with me to the meeting. But these two are here busy talking with each other.I saw them blushed. I lift my right brow. Something is fishy between this two.I just shook my head. It's not my concern anymore if there's going on between them. They are both single. “Sorry, Ms. Cabello. It slips my mind that Mr. Hearst is in his office now. I will inform Mr. Escarrer that you are already here for the meeting.” Jace said instead.“No, it's okay. We can wait; we are not in a hurry. Also, who is Mr. Hearst?” I asked curiously. “Mr. Hearst is our exclusive partner. All our branches here in Asia we're exclusively tie-up with Hearst Res

Alistair and Amelia
Time passes very quickly. I'm in the last month of my pregnancy. I might see my twins anytime soon.Luna and Kaela (Ulie’s sister) organize a baby shower for me. I wanted to say no because I don’t want the media to find out about the father of my babies. Though my pregnancy got exposed, we were able to hide from the media that Ulie is the father of my twins. But they won’t budge. So I had no choice but to let them do whatever plan they have for the baby shower. I know that we can’t hide the twins’ father forever, but as much as possible, I want to have a safe delivery first before I face the potential crisis that I need to deal with.I formally met Ulie’s sister, Kaela Ulyssa Escarrer, a week after I met their parents. Ulie and Kaela were the ones in charge of their hotels in Asia. She had a meeting in Dubai last week, so she was not there when Ulie formally introduces me to their parents. When she arrived in the Philippines and heard the news about Ulie and me, she asks his parents

Media Launch
Ulie’s parents wanted us to live in Escarrer’s mansion, but I decline.I already prepared everything for my twin's arrival in my penthouse. I renovated one of the rooms in my penthouse three months ago and made it the twin’s nursery room.I love plain, simple, and minimalist design. I made a neutral shared nursery room with white furniture, open shelving, a crystal chandelier, and pink and blue linens and toys.I showed it to Ulie when he started to stay in my penthouse. He likes it, and we both decided to take care of the twins here in my penthouse. Ulie requested to let him stay here in my penthouse for the first three months of the twins. He wanted to help me to take care of the twins. He wanted to stay for a year, but I told him that three months is enough. Honestly, I can’t help myself but question his sincerity towards the twins. I can’t forget the conversation I heard from Nick and him.From what I heard, it only shows that Ulie is responsible not because he was sincere with

Discredit
“Is it true that Mr. Kade Ulysses Escarrer is the father of your child?”I felt Ellie stiffen. She didn't see that coming, same with me. I don't know where did they get that information. We were always careful. We made sure that all people involved in Ellie’s pregnancy until she gave birth is a secret. She was always in the VIP section, and all the premises in the hospital were exclusively for her during her delivery and even during checkups. We know that we can’t keep it a secret forever. But we want to announce it ourselves. We even plan to do a party to tell the twins. I held Ellie’s hand and squeezed it to calm her.“I think you were all brief that all questions would only be about the LHI Resorts. Were you not informed?” I answered the press in a cold voice.“Is it true that the reason why Ms. Cabello got the project is that she seduced you and get herself pregnant?” The press asked instead. “What did you say?” Ellie said. From the tone of her voice, I’m sure that she was an

Lead
“Where are my phone and laptop?” Ellie bombarded me as soon as I enter the nursery room.“Ellie, it's best if you will focus your time with our children,” I said.She glared at me.“I’m not stupid, Ulie. I know why did you hide my phone and laptop. I am not weak as you think.” She said in a cold voice.I knew she would be angry at me. I don't want her to be hurt.“I know, but let me handle this,” I said, full of concern.“I don’t need you to fight my battles. I have been doing this alone, and I handled it perfectly well.” “But I want to. Just let me deal with them, please, Ellie.” I know she's strong and independent because she has no choice. Her parents died when she just graduated from college. She needs to take over the company at the age of 21. It's not easy for a 21-year-old girl to take that enormous responsibility. She was alone then, but not anymore. I am here for her to fight with her battles. “Ulie, let us make this clear. You are only allowed to make decisions for the k

Ulie's Protection
“Great because I have now the lead.” My eyes widen. They got the lead this fast! LHI is a company you can’t easily beat. “Did you know RV Engineering and Architectural Services?” He asked in a serious voice.I smirked. I knew it. They are behind this.“Of course, I know them. They are the leading company in the architecture and engineering industry here in the country.” I said. “Okay. But did you have any issue or conflict with them?”“Are they the one behind all these?”He nodded. I saw his jaw clenched.I sighed aloud. “My hint is right.”His forehead creased. “What do you mean?” “Who was your Architect and Engineer in your existing hotels here in the country?” I asked instead.His eyes widen. He got my point.“Oh yeah! Why didn’t I think about that? I don't care if they are the leading company in this industry. I will make them pay for what they did to you.” He said in a menacing voice.“But our priority is to clear my name in this issue,” I said.He looks at me with gentleness

Backfire
Four days before we announced the press conference“Ellie, I have a meeting today with RV shitty company,” I informed her.She chuckled. “You are so mean, Ulie.”I clenched my jaw. “That name suits their company. I will never forgive them for what they did to you. I will surely make them pay. They insulted you an Escarrer.”Her forehead creased. “I am not part of Escarrer.” She corrected me.I smirked. “The moment you gave birth to our children, you automatically became part of the Escarrer family.”She rolled her eyes. “Don’t you dare tell that to anyone?! You might not be able to get married when they hear that. They will assume that we are in a relationship or something.” “I don’t plan to marry anyone,” I told her.“Oh yeah! I forgot. You didn’t want to get married.” She said, then chuckled.“Well, I don’t mind getting married if you are the bride,” I told her. She just laughed. “Whatever, Ulie!”I shrugged. She never believes me whenever I say this thing to her. But I am serious

Kiss
‘Hey Ellie, are you available for a meeting?’ “I guess. Why?” ‘We will be opening a restaurant in Tagaytay, and we want CIC to do this project.”My eyes widen. I was surprised when Nick calls me all of a sudden. Wow! After LHI, we will be working on another big project.Hearts Restaurant Group is a famous restaurant here in the Philippines because of its reputation in the US. They were one of the known high-end restaurants in America. My issue about LHI will end soon. The press conference will happen in three days. “Are you sure that you like us to take this project? I mean, you know my issue.” I said.‘Yes, I am sure. Yes, I know about your issue with LHI. But I also know that all of those were lies. I have seen you and your team work first hand. I know how great your skills are. That is why I want you to handle this project because I know you will do great.’“Wow! I’m flattered. Thank you for believing in us. I would love to work with Hearts Restaurant Group.”‘Great! I know y

Nick's Offer
“You look pale, Ellie. Are you sick?” Ulie asked.He looks at me with pure concern on his face.“No. I’m good. I wasn’t able to sleep well because I am thinking about today’s meeting.” I lied.The truth is, I wasn’t able to sleep at all because his kiss last night keeps bugging me.Ulie and I were clear about our relationship. We are nothing but Alistair and Amelia’s parents. We are both aware that we don’t need to pretend a couple for the twins. We want to raise them fully aware of their parent’s actual relationship status.I never ask him to be faithful because we are not in a relationship; we were never will. I knew why he was friendly with me and why he treats our children well; it was all because of the freedom that he got because of us.But now, I don’t understand why he is not living a man's life with freedom. He always gave most of his time with the twins and me. I have never seen him go out to a party or had fun with his friends. He acts as if he was a married man.I was back
