“Ellie, my brother committed suicide.”“W-what?!” Kaela didn’t say anything. She just kept on crying. My heart was beating so fast. “Kaela please tell me you are kidding. Ulie did what?” I said a bit shaking. But again Kaela did not answer and just kept on crying. My children started to ask me what happened because my tears are flowing again.I took a deep breath. I need to gather myself together because my children are with me. I can’t tell them about what happened. I shake my head and smiled at them. “Nothing. Your Aunt Kaela just wanted me to see your dad.”They just nodded but I know that they are not convinced by my answer. We went straight to the hospital. I called Luna and asked her to go to the hospital because I needed her to take care of my children.When we reached the hospital Luna was already there. “I heard what happen. How is he?” She said upon seeing me. “I don’t know yet. I need to talk to Kaela first. Can you get the kids and take care of them?” I asked. Luna
I thought that life is so unfair. I even hated God for letting all of this happen. I only loved one woman in my life, but why did God allow me to be the reason for her sufferings? I hated God so much that I tried to kill myself. I feel like, my mere existence is the cause of the suffering of many people. The suffering of the people I love. They said when you don’t understand, you just need to trust God. I failed to do this. I failed to trust Him. One thing God has proved to me was, that He is still in control. He did not let me die, instead, He gave me what I longed desire, and that is Ellie. I can’t believe that she asked me to marry her. It felt like a dream. I can’t believe that I am here on the altar waiting for her to walk down the aisle. Today is our wedding day. Our family and friends were delighted when they found out that Ellie and I will get married. The twins cried with happiness. They have been praying for this to happen, day and night. I can’t stop my tears from f
Flashing lights, loud music, and a large crowd. In the middle, you will see dancing bodies tangled together. You will also see people kissing and making out on the dance floor and on the tables.A typical scenario in a bar.I usually went here for social events and gatherings. I have my mini bar in my penthouse, so I don't need to go here.But tonight is an exemption. I am here with a mission.I visited an OB to have myself checked. And as per her, based on my period calendar, tonight is a high chance for me to get pregnant, and I don't want to miss it.I never had a boyfriend. I'm too focused on my career, and I had no time for love. Also, most of the guys were intimidated by my achievements.I'm an orphan. My parents died when I was 20 years old. I lost them on my graduation day. I graduated summa cum laude. I was about to have my speech when I received a call; it was from the hospital. My parents are on the way here when they met an accident. They were dead on arrival.At a very yo
Two lines.I gently touched my belly. Finally!"Hi, baby! Thank you for coming into my life. I'm your mommy Ellie." I whispered.I didn't expect that I will be this emotional. Maybe because of the hormones. I can’t help but cry because of too much happiness.Finally, I will have someone to be with me.Finally, I will have someone I can share all my achievements with.It was almost two months after I went to that bar and met the guy who helped me fulfill my plan.I can't deny how gorgeous and hot that guy is. I did not regret that I have given him my virginity.I can still remember what happened that night.I remember the first time he entered me. I felt like he considered the fact that I'm a virgin. He was so gentle but full of passion.But that guy is insatiable and big. I didn’t know how did I survive after doing that with him. I can’t even count how many rounds we made.I was so thankful when finally he already felt exhausted, and he finally let me go. It’s not that I did not enjoy
I can't contain the happiness that I am feeling right now. I have two children in my womb. Thank you, Lord! After my check-up, I first went to a drug store to buy my doctor-prescribed vitamins and milk.I also called my secretary to put my check-ups on my schedule."Wait! What do you mean by schedule on your OB? Who is pregnant?" My secretary Luna asked, a bit confused. Luna is not only my trusted secretary but also my best friend. I never had a close friend when I was in school. I was so focused on my studies and family that I had no time to make friends. And I am not regretting anything because I know that in the short time that I had spent my time with my parents, I knew that I was able to make the most of it. I first met Luna a year after I took over the company. I was so serious with my work. I never had time for myself. I'm also very strict when it comes to my employee. The reason why most of my employees are scared of me but Luna is different.Even if I keep on shouting a
"You better tell me what the hell happen? How did you get pregnant? You don’t even have a boyfriend!” Luna asked me, almost hysterical. I just rolled my eyes. "Simple. I had a one-night stand.""What?! Y-you had w-what?!" Her eyes widen from what I said.I giggle upon seeing her reaction. “Stop giggling, Penelope Quinn, it’s not funny! How did you have a one-night stand when you don’t even go to a bar alone because you are allergic to people?!” My head hurts from all Luna’s rants. I don’t think she will stop interrogating me until I tell her everything. "I planned this pregnancy, okay?! You know that for six years I've been living alone. I miss my family. I want my family back, but I know that’s impossible to happen! I want to have a family of my own but with my attitude and achievements, do you think I will find a guy who is perfect for me?” I said frustratedly. Her face became serious, and she sat on the chair across mine. He held my right hand and gently pressed it. "Of cours
The truth is, I wanted now to back out from this project but I know I can’t. First of all, LHI was not a simple client. Second, I knew what Luna had gone through just to get this meeting. Third, I don’t want to give them a wrong impression about my company, CIC. And lastly, this project has nothing to do with what happened between me and their CEO. I shook my head. My twins were very good at choosing their father. Jace guided us to a conference type of room. We went straight to the door behind the office table. I already noticed this door a while ago. I thought it was a room specially prepared for their CEO, in case he will bring girls and have sex with them. He looks naughty and has many hookups. I really thought that having a one-night stand was already his hobby.I was really shocked when I saw the room behind his office table. As I said, it was a conference type of room. It has a long table, seven office chairs, and a 70” flat screen TV for presentation. I also notice that on th
I felt Luna’s soft punch on my shoulder when we went inside the car.“Care to explain what happens after our meeting? What is with you and Mr. Escarrer? Do you guys know each other?” Luna asked me.It was very obvious that she was very curious about me and Mr. Escarrer.I actually asked myself if I will tell her the truth or not. As much as possible I wanted to keep this a secret."I don't want this project anymore!" I said instead of answering her.Her eyes widen and I got a soft punch again from her.“What are you saying?! Are you crazy?! You waited for this project with LHI for so long and now you are saying that?!” She said in disbelief.“Yes I wanted it before but now I am not sure.” I softly whispered but enough for her to hear.She raised her right eyebrow. “Is this because of Mr. Escarrer? You wanted to miss this kind of opportunity because of him. Tell me the truth, what is with you and Mr. Escarrer?”I just avoided her gaze and remain silent.“You really avoiding answering m
