“Ulie…” I can’t utter anything but his name.Ulie’s words are giving so much warmth to my heart. He sounded so sincere. I can’t help myself but grab his face and give him a soft kiss. I was hoping that through my kiss he was able to feel the words I can’t utter. “I will never marry anyone but you, my Quinn. Don’t ever forget that.” Ulie added.I nodded at him. He went to me again and kiss me, a more passionate kiss. I kiss him back with the same passion and intensity.“I love you, Penelope Quinn Cabello,” Ulie said after our kiss. I smile at him and caress his face. “I love you too Kade Ulysses Escarrer.” Ulie eyes widen. “Y-you love me too?” I chuckled. “I never stop loving you. Well, I thought I did, but I was wrong.”“I always thought that the reason why I am not letting anyone be in my life is that I got traumatized from my first heartbreak. But the truth is, even if you hurt me big time, my heart still longs for you.” I confessed to him.“I’m sorry that I hurt you before, I'm
Despite the buzz that Hadley created, our family was not affected. We live as if nothing happens. Ulie and I decided to just ignore all Hadley’s antics. As long as we know what the truth is, we don’t need to be affected by her. If we reacted to her schemes, then she will just continue to push it. Hadley should realize that she has a zero chance to win Ulie. Today is Saturday, one of our favorite days of the week. But Sunday is our most favorite day of the week because aside from our family bonding, it is also a day to worship God. We have so many things to thank God for.We were having breakfast when I notice Amelia’s sad face.“Hey sweetie, are you okay?” I asked with full concern.“Mom are you sure that dad is your boyfriend?” Amelia asked.My forehead creased. “Why are you asking that sweetie? Don’t you trust me and your dad?” Amelia shook her head. “Of course I trust the both of you. It's just that...”Amelia looks hesitant. I look at Alistair, he also looks sad. I'm sure he k
Kaela’s face reddened until we reach the Escarrer mansion. The kids keep on convincing Kaela to accept Enrique as her boyfriend so that they can have a cousin soon.They want to have a cousin badly. They even ask why they need to wait for a year or two. We patiently explain it to them until they understand the need of waiting.“Welcome Quen! It's good to see you again! I bet my son misses you so much.” Auntie Adelia welcomed Quen.I saw Kaela’s sulking face. I just shook my head. I can’t imagine how hard it is for Quen to pursue Kaela. She sometimes acts like a child. It's one of the reasons why the kids love her is because they felt like their aunt is the same age as them. “I’m your daughter here but you chose to welcome the outsider!” Karma hissed. Uncle Laertes didn't like what he heard from Kaela. “Watch your word young lady. Quen is already part of the family. Your brother treated him as his brother and we also treat him like one. So never address Quen as an outsider. You under
“Your order Ma’am, Sir.” “Thank you.” I politely said to the waiter.“I’m still not used to not having the kids on Sunday,” I told Ulie.We were having our lunch date today. We were done attending the Sunday Service with the whole family when Kaela insisted on bond with the kids today.I don’t want to agree at first but the kids also wanted to bond with Kaela.Flashback“Ellie, can I borrow your twins today? I miss them so much and I want to bond with them.” Kaela said after the Sunday Service. “I’m sorry Kaela but I can’t allow your request. It’s our family’s commitment to spend time our weekends with our kids.” I explained to her.“Mom we also want to go with Aunt Kaela today. Right, Amelia?” Alistair said.I was a bit hurt hearing it from the kids. That they are choosing to spend their time with their Aunt than with us. “Yes ma’am, we want to go with Aunt Kaela today,” Amelia said.“But weekends are reserved for us four right?” I reminded them.The twins look at each other. Then
“What is this girl doing here?!”I frowned. Can’t I be here? Did she own this place? “Hadley can calm down first?” Quen said.“What is this girl doing here?! Answer me first!” Hadley is acting like a spoiled brat. I just shook my head. “Do you want me to give you two a time to talk Quen?” I asked Quen.Hadley’s eyes widen again. “What did you just call him?!” My jaw dropped. Is Hadley for real? Is she jealous? Does she realize that she likes Quen? If that’s true then it’s too late for her.“I was the one who told Ellie to call me Quen,” Quen explain in a calm voice.I was amazed at how Quen stays calm despite the hysterical of Hadley. Quen can handle her well.“What’s brings you here?” Quen asked when Hadley didn’t say anything.“Do you want me to leave?” I asked Quen again. I know that what they will talk about is Ulie’s lost memories. What’s bothering me though is the fact that the information came from Nic.I know that Nick and Hadley are quite close. But to what extent? Why d
“Mom, are you going to have a date with dad again this week?” Amelia asked excitedly.I smile at her while caressing her cheeks. “Why honey?” “I want to see mom and dad again on the news,” Amelia answered.I furrowed. Is Hadley’s issue not yet settled in their school?“Why?” I asked.Amelia shrugged. “I just want to show it again to my classmate. They look so amazed at how you guys look on the news. They all said that you guys look perfect together. They finally know why I am this beautiful.” Ulie and I chuckled. “They also said that I’m handsome!” Alistair proudly said. Amelia rolled her eyes. “They only said that out of pity.” My eyes widen at Amelia’s answer. I didn't like what I just heard from her. Alistair is her twin brother. She should not treat his brother that way. This is not the only time that she did this. I need to discipline her now.“Amelia apologize to your brother. You should not say that. You two are siblings. If you have a person who you can’t consider your en
“Are you in love with Hadley?”Nick did not answer, he just stared at me. “Why can’t you answer me? Is that so hard to answer?” I asked him again.“What do you want to hear from me?” Nick seriously asked. “The truth!” Nick sighed aloud then he looks at me intently. “Yes. I am in love with Hadley Adelson.” The moment Hadley barge in Quen’s office telling she got the information from Nick, I knew something is fishy. I can’t believe what I just heard right now, even though I already expecting it. Nick was a good friend to us. And hearing this feels like I have been betrayed by a trusted friend.“Did you approach Ulie because of Hadley?” I asked him.Nick slowly nodded at me. “Yes. But it was not Hadley who ask me to approach you. It was my plan. You should thank me for doing it. It was you who benefited from it the most.”My forehead creased. “What do you mean?” “You are right. I did approach Ulie for Hadley. I wanted to know why Hadley like Ulie so much. And I also want to know w
“It was Hadley again?! When will she ever stop?!” I hissed.I somehow treated her as a friend because of the time we spend in America. But this is too much! “But why will Nick listen to her?” I suddenly asked. “Because Nick is in love with her,” Ellie answered.I was not shocked at all. I knew from the start that Nick has a thing for Hadley. I knew he approached me for a reason. I just let him be because it will be an advantage to me if ever Nick will succeed in winning Hadley’s heart. I looked at Ellie. She looks like she was waiting for me to react. “You already knew?” Ellie asked.I nodded at her. “It was pretty obvious. But I didn't expect that Nick will do this to us.”I treated him as a friend. Even though I know his motive, I still treat him as my real friend. I feel so betrayed right now. “Wait! You knew about it but you still make friends with him?” Ellie asked a bit lost.“Yes. I don't see any harm in that. I mean, I will be thankful if Nick can win her heart. Then all
