I lay on the hospital bed, silently watching them. Phoenix stood in front of the doctor, his expression a mix of worry and irritation. He looked restless, unable to stand still while he questioned the doctor. “How is she? What’s her condition? Is she alright? Do we need to run any more tests?” The doctor looked at him and gave a small smile, as if he was already used to this kind of anxious behavior from family members. “She’s stable for now, Phoenix. She is just exhausted, both physically and emotionally. She has bruises in several areas, and she is likely drained from everything she went through. She will need time to rest and heal.” Phoenix was still not satisfied. “Do whatever it takes to make sure she recovers quickly, Montero. I cannot stand seeing her like this. If anything happens to her, I will burn you alive.” He gave the doctor a heavy, threatening stare, as if he would not trust him until he saw results with his own eyes. I blinked repeatedly, watching the doctor

I clenched my teeth, staring at her even though part of me wanted to throw her out the window. She gave me a nasty look while rubbing her large belly. I raised an eyebrow and straightened my posture, making sure my own rounded stomach was visible to her. I saw the shock in her eyes and her anger toward the man next to me, who had been leaning against me for a while. His eyes were closed as he rested his head on my shoulder. “What do you want now?” I asked her calmly. “It’s obvious. You’re pregnant with that man, and you’re already living with him. So, what about me?” She even pointed to herself. I froze, unsure what I had eaten that day to deserve this, and didn’t slap her. She really had some nerve. “Are you serious that Nix is the father you’re carrying? Because, miss, if not, you better hide. Don’t you…” She didn’t let me finish and spoke over me. “Nix?” she said, curious about the nickname I used for Phoenix. I didn’t like that at all because only I was allowed to use

One month after giving birth to Athena, Phoenix and I decided it was time to find a place to stay. We chose a place not far from Cassandra’s house so that I could easily visit her and help out when needed. Even now, I hadn’t told her the whole truth. She didn’t know. I wanted to, but not yet. I was scared—scared of what might happen, especially knowing there were eyes watching us. Nix felt the same; he kept us hidden from the rest of his friends. Only Dr. Montero knew about Athena and me. Likewise, we were the only ones who knew there was a mother and child now. It was a kind of win-win situation for them both. They were cousins, after all. Smart like each other. “Darling, where should I put this one?” I paused while arranging things on the table and looked at Nix. He was holding a number one and a tarpaulin with Athena’s face on it. Today was a double celebration: Athena’s birthday, and he had given her a special gift as well. The time for the mass was approaching, yet we wer

My brows furrowed when I was greeted by silence the moment I stepped into the house. I had just come from Cassandra’s place, then went straight to the market to sell goods, and came home right away. I blinked several times as I scanned the interior of the house. I felt thirsty, so I went into the kitchen. I poured myself a glass of water, and while drinking, I suddenly heard shrill laughter coming from behind our house. I finished the water in my glass before heading to our other door and opening it. Fresh provincial air and the sweet scent of fruits immediately greeted me. My eyes searched for the source of the noise, and not far from a mango tree, I saw two children playing tag, both wearing dresses. They even had crowns on their heads, and nearby was a small table with tiny chairs. It looked like a tea party was happening while I was not around to watch them. I looked for their guardian and spotted Aling Linda sitting on a chair, fanning herself while chatting with Frozina.

A few days passed, and I was no longer surprised that Cassandra was keeping a close watch over her children. Even Zeus was no longer allowed to visit Athena. He always wore a frown but didn’t question why his mother had set things that way. Athena, meanwhile, switched to homeschooling since I prioritized her safety. Her teacher understood after I gave a simple explanation. But we didn’t expect Cassandra’s only princess to fall ill. Athena was left at home under Aling Linda’s care while I stayed at Cassandra’s house. I could hear Cassandra and Aling Fe whispering outside the room. I felt the weight of their worry, especially Cass’s, over her child Zebediah. He had a fever for four days straight, and I could see the anxiety and pain in her eyes for her son. I couldn’t help thinking that maybe he needed to be taken to a better hospital. I knew the town had limited resources, and the chances of helping Zebediah here were low. But what if those men saw Cass in Manila? What if they di
