"Mr. McWealth, what are you doing here?" I was hesitant to ask him because the smile on his face vanished when I spoke. Adeline jumped in joy; she giggled before she hugged Mr. McWealth after she encircled her tiny hands on his nape. I was confused, and I didn't know what I should do, especially when Adeline continued calling him 'Daddy'. I was aware of how excited she was to see her father, but I felt heartbroken to see her desperation to meet him. I swallowed hard as tears formed in my eyes. I did my best to stop myself from crying. "Adeline, he's not---" "Miss Velasquez, let's talk outside." His tone was firm. There was a trace of fear in his eyes. I nodded my head. He put Adeline back on the hospital bed, and when I roamed around, I was thankful Adam wasn't here. He might be in school. "Daddy, will you leave me again? I thought you promised you would not ever leave my side.." Adeline's tone cracked. She was about to cry when Mr. McWealth caressed her hair, trying to hush her.
I was flabbergasted when I heard him mention those who mistreated me. I didn't have any plans to let them know I was still existing near them because it was useless. I didn't see any reason to fight with them or take revenge myself. However, I didn't want to be hypocritical; I wanted to grab the opportunity he had been giving me. "It's not your problem, Mr. McWealth," I answered with a firm tone. I didn't want him to notice I was hesitant because I wanted to get justice. I wanted to know how my father hadn't had any guilt in his heart after he found out that his lovely daughter was living in the street. He was aware when I was giving birth to my children and made me choose if I would still abort or throw my children as if they were some trash. My father was selfish, and he didn't mind hurting me just to get what he wanted—the power to merge the Lance family's company and our company using me. He disliked the idea that I would have a relationship with any man because he didn't see
I was shocked and it seemed my brain stopped processing because of what happened to Adeline. I watched her sleeping in the bed peacefully. She continued murmuring about her father and that's what made my heart shatter.I thought she was happy being with me but seeing how desperate she was to see her father, I felt all this time she wanted to know him. I heard the door open and saw Adam walking towards me. He seemed severe as he put his bag in the vacant seat.“Where's Terry?” I asked, curious why he was alone.“She bought a meal for us. It's me who wants to go here fast because I'm worried about Adeline,” he answered. He stared at Adeline and touched her cheek. Adam was such a protective brother to his sister and I was thankful for that.“Adeline said she already found Daddy. She called me to inform me.”I was stunned when I heard what he added. My eyes blinked, and I tried to hide the panic in my eyes. Adam was observant; he knew if I was lying.“I wanted to see him, Mom. I believe w
“Ugh…” A moan escaped from my lips when he licked my neck. He gripped my backside and pulled me closer to him, which crushed my bosom against his chest. He sucked my neck and massaged my massive breast. He played with my nipple until it hardened. Slowly, I felt the sticky water coming out of my center. As I opened my eyes, everything was blurry. Shit. “You're wet. I want to take you tonight. How dare you entice me with your charms, honey?” He gasped while he rubbed his finger on my folds. I groaned when I felt the tingling sensation coming to my lower abdomen. My eyes dilated when he touched my folds in a circular motion. He uttered profanities when he slowly stroked his finger inside me, making me whimper in pain. “Stop moaning, or I will be too rough once I put my dick inside you.” He whispered and licked my ear while his finger thrust inside and out. A scream came out of my mouth when I felt a hard thing come inside between my thighs. It was so painful that I scratched his bac
My body trembled in anxiety while I was looking out the window. I watched how the cars drove past us. It was raining outside, and it seemed the weather was mourning for me, too. I couldn’t believe my father had wanted me to abort my child. I could explain everything to Lance, and I was sure he would understand I hadn’t intentionally slept with a random stranger. I was drunk. Everything was blurry, and I couldn’t understand why I was with the wrong man in those pictures. Ava kept glancing in my direction. Worry was evident in her face when she held my hand. I was weary of what we were going to do. My father didn’t want me to continue my pregnancy. He resented me more for carrying a child from a stranger. “Katrina, I know you’re emotional right now. But think about the baby. Are you sure you want this?” she asked me, using her soft tone. I nodded but was hesitant to do what my father commanded. I didn’t think Lance would accept me if I aborted my baby. I swallowed hard when I felt my
Adeline blinked her eyes while she was pouting her lips. She tightened her embrace and caressed my hair. Terry gave me a look, trying to wait for my response. I didn’t know what I would say to her because I didn't even know who their father was. “Adeline, will you please stop asking Mom about it? Do you see she’s not well?” It was Adam who broke the silence. He pulled Adeline away from me and rolled his eyes to make Adeline annoyed at her. “W-What? I’m asking, Adam! Get off of me!” Adeline shrieked in irritation. Her eyes formed tears, and she bit her lips to prevent herself from crying. Adam halted, moved away from Adeline, and looked at her with guilt. “Don’t cry, you know it’s bad for you!” Adam exclaimed. I knelt in front of Adeline and hushed her. I felt terrible for her. She wanted me to see her father, but I didn’t know how. I hoped I could tell her the truth. “Adeline, honey, I still don’t see your father yet. I’m doing my best to have the chance to see him,” I whispered, t
His power made my stomach crumble in excitement. I was flabbergasted to think there was a man who gave me an emotion I was trying to hide. He cleared his throat but his eyes were still on mine after I sat on the chair. He fixed his tie before he elegantly sat on his swivel chair. He was emotionless but powerful when he flipped my application papers. “Katrina Amara Velasquez,” he uttered. I almost gasped when he said my name, like I was a good delicacy in his eyes. I swallowed hard, trying to clear my throat when I felt like my throat was getting dry. “Are you connected to Mr. Albert Velasquez? He's the owner of Velasquez Enterprises,” he added. My hands trembled in anxiety after he mentioned my father's name. I wasn't prepared that he would ask me that question because whenever I got hired, they were only asking me about my skills and why I wanted to work with them. “N-No, I'm not connected with him,” I stammered when I denied it. I didn't want my father to know I was applying to
Since I got kicked out of my father's house, all I promised myself was that I would do anything to make them pay for what they had done to me. It was easy at first if I thought to do it in my head, but it seemed the world had a different plan because the more I tried to be successful, the more I felt something was missing in my life. I needed to know whatever it was, but how? I was the victim. However, from other people's perspectives, I was the one who cheated on Lance, even though he had been sleeping with Brenda behind my back. I was dumb enough to trust someone like her. No, I was fucking dumb not to see she had hatred and insecurities towards me. I treated Brenda as my sister; she was always with me, aside from my sister, Ava. The pain she had caused me was so unbearable at first that I wanted to smack her face for hurting and betraying me. If she wanted Lance, I wouldn't mind giving him to her because my friendship with her was way more important than that of a man. "Good morn
