“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
“What’s there to explain about? We heard about your plan with her loud and clear! You are so selfish, mom! I hate you!” Amelia shouted then she went out of my office.I glared at Hadley. She covers her mouth. “Oppps, I’m sorry! But don't worry everything will be alright after I execute my plan. Bye!” Then she went out of my office as if she won a lottery. I felt so weak. My daughter hates me more now. But what is she doing here? I was about to go to Luna and ask her why Amelia was in my office when I saw Alistair looking at me. I went to him and hold his hand. “Alistair I will explain.” Alistair nodded which gave me a huge relief. “Before that, we need to find your sister,” I told him then we both went out and look for Amelia. One of my employees told us that they saw Amelia going down the elevator. When we reach the lobby, one of the guards told us that Amelia already left. Just a second after the guard informed me about Amelia, my phone receives a call from the bodyguard I a
“What kind of stupid question is that? Of course, I’m not fine. My daughter hates me now. It’s all your fault.”Ellie hates me and I can’t blame her. It was my mistake who took away the lives of the people close to her... Ellie’s only family.Because of me, Ellie became an orphan. She needs to take on difficulties and responsibilities at an early age. I am proud of how strong she became but I am also mad at myself because she could have avoided this kind of loneliness and hardship if it wasn’t for me. I keep on questioning myself why did I do that?! Why did I try to beat the red light?! I should have waited! I was able to wait for her for five years, but why can’t I wait for a minute or two? If I stop and wait for the green signal then her parents will be able to attend their only daughter’s graduation and still be alive until now.I wish I could turn back the time but I know I can’t. All I can do right now is to support Ellie and help her as much as I could. I will no longer dream
I was so devastated after my daughter pushed me away. I talked to my son and asked him to stay with her sister tonight. I know that Amelia needed her brother right now. Even though Amelia bullies her twin brother most of the time, Alistair is still her confidant. I am planning to go to my parent’s mausoleum tonight. I needed to see them with all the things happening now. This is what I always do whenever I feel down and lonely. Just being with my parents comforts me, especially when I start praying to God with them. It is just like when they are still alive, we pray and worship God together. It’s a good thing that I made this mausoleum exactly like our home, especially in times like this. I can stay here for as long as I want. When I went inside and saw my parent's grave, tears start to fall again. Losing them only seems like yesterday. “Mom,” My voice broke. “My daughter hates me. She doesn’t want to listen to my explanation. She thought that I will take them away from their fa
