40 - Whispered

She is an international model and one of those with large shares their family in our company. She is half Filipina and grew up in the Philippines but when she models, she is always based in another country. We met through her father who was my business deal before. I will admit a lot has happened to Chilsea and me.

I was surprised at his arrival. I didn’t feel excited. Maybe I just changed in his presence.

About that time, the detective I had ordered came to my office. He was carrying a brown envelope containing information. Here I found out that Yeeny Samonte is gone. It's dead. But her son was left in the care of her friend Kiera Antonio. His female friend at the convent.

I was surprised by what I read and learned from the detective. I can't figure it out. I was suddenly confused. My head heats up and I clench my fist. The heat of my head increased even more when I saw the picture of the two women. The two are now friends. Next is the photo of Kiera and Jai.

That's why I'm relieved of the child. He’s my niece. But what I don't understand is why Kiera didn't tell me that Jai is my nephew. I knew he knew my nephew the boy but he hid the truth. That's why the boy's father mistaken me. It was impossible that he did not know that Ermel and I were brothers. They are female friends. I'll take the child. I'll take it and take it to the States.

"Daddy," Jai whispered to me.

We were at the dining table by that time and eating. My fiance and I were next to each other and they were next to the child.

"Yes?"

“Can I go to school?”

I saw Kiera turn to him.

"Yes you can but in the States, son." my tough response.

Kiera looked at me in surprise with questioning eyes. Damn! If he acted like he didn't know everything. I averted my gaze and faced the food.

"Honey who cooked this?" Chilsea asked me. I don't think he liked the taste of the prepared food.

“My Mommy Tita. Why? ” Jai's innocent question.

“That's why it tastes bad. The cook is also ugly. ” He stood up and raised an eyebrow at Kiera before he looked at me. “Hon, where is your room? I will stay there first. ”

“Why are you staying there? Mommy and Daddy can't be next to each other in bed, so you should also be in the other room, Tita. ”

"Of course they shouldn't be side by side because—"

“Come here Jai. You’re done, aren’t you? ” Kiera immediately stood up and picked up the child.

KIERA’S P.O.V

I quickly picked up the child and carried him to his room. He is still very innocent. He did not know what was really going on. I could barely swallow the food before. I cooked but I lost my appetite.

"Why does Tita stay in Dad's room, Mommy?" Jai asked later.

I stroked her hair and kissed her on the forehead. "Baby listen to me, just ignore him, okay?"

"But why?"

I took a deep breath. Trying to ease my chest began to tighten. How do I explain this? Where do I start? Hopefully, I was ready.

"Do you want us to take a walk later?" I change the subject.

His face lit up and he agreed. “All right! I want to take a walk on the playground. ”

I nodded and hugged him very tightly. I hope I can handle it. We just left Jai's room when I saw from the window that Jayar's car had left. Tears slowly trickled down my eyes. It hurts!

As I promised my son, we went for a walk. This time, it was just the two of us. In the past, the three of us were together like a family every week. Jayar visits Jai and sometimes he takes me with him. Eat out, go to the playground and sometimes enter the amusement park.

My mood is hard now. I can't understand why I'm so stupid. I was stunned by love. I was amazed at how I felt! I have nothing more to be proud of myself. Gone. But hopefully, he confronted me about why he was angry or what. I will not take him to his Chilsea. I just want him to be honest. I just want to know why after he took me, it's like I'm a rag that I shouldn't look back at. One that was Montevidad. Heartless!

At the convent we stayed with Jai. Here, my mood becomes peaceful when I see the happy smiles of the children and the kind Sisters. I brought chocolates and candy to the kids. Jai is the one I gave.

“It's good that you visited here again, Kiera. It's been almost a long time since you last visited here with Jai. ” smiling Mother Fe's suggestion.

Never, ever did I forget I was from the convent. Here, I had a family. Although I wanted to visit the convent where Yeeny and I grew up, I did not have enough money to go home to the Visayas.

"There was just a little problem, Mother," I said sparingly.

“Just in times of trouble and trial, do not hesitate to approach our almighty God. Kiera was the only one there. Just say his name and he will help you. ”

I nodded. Mother's really smart. I didn't make a mistake in deciding that Jai and I would visit here. It took us late at night when we got home. We were late because of the kids playing and talking. Add to that the traffic on the road.

I quietly stepped into the house. I carried the child because I think he had run out of energy to play with the other children before. I found out from Jayar’s security guard guarding the gate, that the man had arrived earlier.

I was exactly entering when I saw Chilsea wrapped around Jayar's neck and seemingly huddled in the middle of the house. Even though I was affected, I just pretended to be insignificant.

I no longer disturbed them with exposure. Jai was fine and asleep. But the child will be surprised and I will have a hard time explaining.

"Where have you been?"

I paused for a moment. Jayar noticed me. I didn’t answer and I continued to step towards the stairs.

“Aba! Who is acting! ” let Chilsea hear me.

I pretended not to hear that. I just kept going. I didn't look at them and I might get hurt.

Tears automatically fell in my eyes when I laid Jai down on his bed. I kissed his forehead and leaned over him. Here I will spend the night next to the child.

"For you son, for you I can handle it. I know you will not be allowed to leave this house. I know you don't want to be away from your recognized father. But hopefully baby, you can feel the pain I feel. I hope you can feel my heart ache. I hope you can feel that I am enduring. ” I was sobbing all the time. I wish I hadn’t loved the man and our paths hadn’t met. I would never have suffered like this.

When I was stunned. I remember what Jayar said to the child. In the States he will educate Jai. Anxiously I glanced at my soundly sleeping son. Could he already know the truth? Did he know that his nephew could afford the child?

No. All he knew was that I was a virgin when he took me. As a child, he knew nothing. I decided to go to sleep. I need to rest my mind and body with a knock.

Jayar is on the outside. His voice was angry and full of command for me to open the door. I did not budge. I just stayed focused on it. I have no plans to open that. He noticed that I didn't want to open it, he also stopped knocking. I took a deep breath and stared blankly.

Although my heart ached when I woke up the next day, I still showed enthusiasm in front of the child. The man left early. According to Mela, there is something to be done. But his woman, left. Left to spend my day.

"I already know who you are." Chilsea raised an eyebrow as she said that.

Jai was watching a cartoon movie in the living room and I was cooking with the kitchen helpers. I will prepare for Jai and me. The helpers, on the other hand, seemed confused but just kept quiet and pretended not to care about the surroundings.

"Fortunately, I decided to follow my fiance here in the Philippines."

Fiance? I felt fun. They are not yet married to the man. But it also immediately disappeared in the mind that even if they are not married, I still can't get Jayar because this woman is the one he really loves. It owns his heart.

"I bet, he wouldn't be hurt if Jay took the child away from him?"

My grip on the knife tightened. The man already knew something, as did his witch. I cut meat but I might not be able to control myself, I cut his tongue. I don't like the shape of his tongue.

“Oh my! You can go shopping now. Hmp! ” he artistically walked away.

I took a deep breath as he walked away. But I cut out his tongue. I just focused my attention on cooking.

After we ate baby, we went out and looked for pre-school. He wants to study so I will give him what he wants. That's a good thing we didn't have to spend the whole day in this house as a child. Jai was overjoyed when I admitted him to pre-school. My son is smart so I know he can. Using the money that Esan gave me then, I used it to buy the child's school supplies.

I promise, it's time for Jayar to take Jai from me, we will leave and we will leave. It's up to me if I hurt the child's feelings. Jai and I were on our way home and were waiting for a passenger car when Esan passed us. He was in his car.

"Kiera?" smiling he looked out the window and was glad we met. "Where are you? Your son will take you. ”

I refused but he got out of his car. Opened and led inside. He was still a gentleman and kind. How come I wasn’t even able to turn my love to the man in front of us now and driving. How come and I still fell in love with Jayar so much. I'm a fool.

"Do you have a problem?" he glanced at me in the review mirror.

I smiled and shook my head. "Nothing."

While my son was having fun sight seeing outside the window.

“I know you have a problem, Kiera. Tell me, I'm ready to listen. ”
