“I never loved Hadley or any other girl because there is someone who already owned my heart, since then until now. And it’s none other than my Quinn, the mother of my children.”People from the media started to ask questions.“Why is Ms. Hadley acting like she had a relationship with you?” “Is it safe to say that Ms. Hadley is just delusional?” “If Mr. Nick pulls out his investment from CIC because of the woman he loves, are you referring to Ms. Hadley?”Those are some of the questions that the reporters are throwing us. One from the team told them to raise their hand if they want to ask questions. We still have two announcements but we decided to entertain their questions since they look so eager to ask. “Are you confirming your relationship with Ms. Cabello?” One of the reporters asks Ulie.Ulie looks in my direction and holds my hand before he answered them. “Yes. Ms. Cabello and I are officially a couple. She finally agreed to be my girlfriend.” I felt the butterflies in my
The press conference went well. Our company is the headline in all business newspaper.Our company stocks are doing well again. It went better compared to the previous years. I should thank Ulie, Quen, and Jace for it.Their names have a big influence in the business world. I am grateful for them.But I will be very honest, it puts so much pressure on my part because people are expecting a lot from us.The company decided to organize a victory party for this huge success. We invited the three great guys who help us to overcome this battle.“How’s the preparation for today’s event?” I asked Luna.Luna was the one in charge of this event. She works hand in hand with our marketing team.“Everything is going according to plan. The marketing team is already in the venue to have the final check of the things needed for the event. I will go to the venue around 1 pm to assist them.” Luna reported.I nodded at her. Luna is really dependable. As long as she is in charge, I don’t have to worry b
I feel so empty.Without My Quinn, my life is so empty. Why did I say those things to her? Why did I hurt my Quinn?It’s been a week since the new semester started. I thought that during the semester break, I was successful in fooling myself that I did the right decision.But who am I kidding? I was afraid to lose her that is why I told her that I only see her as a friend. I want us to last that is why I want us to remain as friends. And now, I lost her forever.Can I really carry on my life without her?“Call her,” Quen said when I call him on the phone and told him about what happened.Quen is my only best friend. I always tell him everything that is happening to me here in the country.Quen was in America to study. My sister is with him. My sister chose to study in the same university as him because she likes him. But my best friend only saw her as a friend, and he was in love with someone else.“She will probably ignore my call,” I told Quen.“Then go to her place. You know where
“Are they Pierce and Penny Quinlyn Cabello that I know?” I asked Quen when we were the only ones left in the room.When nodded his head. “I went to their wake as your representative. I saw Penelope there.”I was not able to talk not great after hearing what he just said. I am sure that my Quinn is devastated by the loss of her parents. I know how much she loves her parents. And now that they are gone, I can’t imagine how she will be able to cope up with this. And how will she accept the fact that I am the reason why she lost her parents.“How is she?” The only thing I said. Quen heaved a sigh. “I guess she is coping up well. It was her graduation day when it happened. She was about to give her speech at her graduation because she graduated as summa cum laude when she received a call that her parents had an accident and were dead on arrival.”“She was able to finish her speech and went straight to the hospital to see their parents. As per the people there, Penelope never shed tears
“I was the one who killed your parents. I was the one who causes the accident.”“What are you saying?” I was so worried when Ulie suddenly passed out after he was shouting for pain. I immediately call the ambulance. Flashback The first person that came out of my mind was Quen. I called him and told him about what happened. “How is he?” Queen said as soon as he arrived at the hospital. “The doctor said that he is stable now. But they will run some tests to find out why he was suddenly in pain.” I said. “What happened? Where were you again when Ulysses was suddenly in pain?” Quen asked.My hand was still trembling from fear. Thoughts came through my mind. Is Ulie sick? If yes, is he aware of his sickness? Is he going to be okay?I was back from deep thinking when I felt Quen’s hand on mine. “Ellie relax. Ulysses will be okay. Can you tell me now what happened?” Quen asked me again. I heaved a sigh before I answered him. “We were in my parents’ mausoleum. He was fine when he arri
I woke up with a heavy heart. I look at myself in the mirror. My eyes were swollen from crying all night. I still can’t believe that this is all happening. I can’t believe the person I entrusted my heart to broke it again for the second time. I regret meeting him. My phone rang. It's the phone we gave to the twins. “Hello?” “Mommy! Where are you? Why are you not staying in the house? Are you with dad?” Amelia asked. My eyes started to well up again. “I... I was at your grandparents’ mausoleum. I dream of them and they said that they miss me. So I might stay here for a while.”“What will happen to us then? Dad is still in the hospital. And you are staying at grandma and grandpa’s mausoleum.” Amelia asked. Her voice sounds so sad. I bit my lower lips. I’m sorry my children. I can’t meet you right now. I’m feeling devastated and I might not be able to hide it in front of you. I may hate your dad but I don't want you guys to know what happened in the past. I don't want to pass this
“Come back home. The kids are waiting for you.”I was stunned for a moment. We often believe that everything happens for a reason. But I can’t seem to figure out why all these things happened. Why did God let me fall for someone responsible for my parents’ death? Why did God let me have children with him? I even let myself believe that Ulie was the one for me. “Are you okay?” I did not notice Luna’s presence. I was so consumed by my emotion. “I would be lying if I told you that I am okay because it’s so obvious that I am not,” I told Luna. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have asked that. That was insensitive of me.” Luna said looking apologetic. I shook my head. “That’s nothing. I know you mean well.” “So what’s your decision? Are you going back to your penthouse?” Luna asked. I nodded. “If Ulie will leave the penthouse then I need to go back home. No one will take care of the twins in our home. Also, I already miss them and I know they miss me too.” One thing I’m grateful about is
“Hi, Ellie. Amelia called me and she wants me to take her to the mansion.” Karma explained when I was the one who opened the door for her.I just nodded and I open the door widely for her to come in. I showed her to the twins’ room. I saw both of them sitting on their respective bed. But Amelia has a bag with her, looking determined to leave me. I controlled my tears from falling. I know I messed up big time. I guess they are better to stay in Escarrer mansion than be with me. I was still mourning for my parents. I was not able to mourn for them before because things happened so quickly that I find it hard to absorb everything. I was in denial for years. I don’t want to accept the reality. I pretended that everything is alright and nothing has changed. I took over the company as soon as the funeral was over. I took as many workloads as I could so that when I went home I don't have time to think of anything and just sleep. I have been doing that for many years until one day my de
