Chapter 15
Clyde hugged my back as we sat on the terrace and watched the sunset. His arms were wrapped tightly around my stomach as his head rested on my shoulder.
"The sunset is beautiful ..." I said in a low voice.
"Yeah, just like you. Good." I smiled at what Clyde said.
"You're handsome too ..." I pointed at him in return for what he said.
"I know. So we're pregnant."
"The strength of the wind." I smiled as we both laughed.
"With the force of the wind, you were carried towards me." I laughed out loud at what it said.
"Are you a poet now? You're corny!" I laughed and turned to face him.
"You're the reason I'm getting corny." I pinched his cheek after he said that.
"Your jeje and corny today. What did you eat?"
He grinned and shook his head. "You forgave me because I'm like this." He replied making me smile.
"I can't stand you." I hugged it tightly.
"That's why I love you ..." My chest throbbed quickly at what he said. Shet, I"m thrilled!
"I'm ready to be corny for you. I love you so much."
My heart seemed to melt at his words. My heart rejoices in what I hear from him.
"I love you so much too." I answered and hugged him tightly.
"I hate to break this moment, but ..." I let go of the hug.
"Why?"
"I'm sorry, we need to go back to Manila." I immediately nodded at what he said.
Of course, we have to go back. We can't stay here for life. He has a job and a company he runs, we really need to go back.
"I understand. Why? Does the company need you anymore?" I asked as he nodded.
"Yes. Dad doesn't want to manage it anymore. I understand because he's old too. He needs to relax with mom." I smiled there.
"You're right. When are we leaving?" I will ask.
"Tomorrow. Is it okay to you?"
"Of course. I'll just prepare our things." He nodded and took my hand. The two of us stared at each other. I watched the sunset again and gasped.
"I will miss this place ..." I said.
"Don't worry, we'll be back here."
Hand in hand we went to the room and worked together to clean up.
THE next day I woke up to the loud sound of a helicopter. I stretched and slowly got up. The door opened just in time and Clyde entered.
"The helicopter is here. Are you fine? Do you still want to sleep?" I shook my head in response to his question.
"I'll just take a shower first." I said sharply that it was ready.
"Okay, then. I cooked too. Let's eat first before leaving. I'll wait for you, okay?" I nodded and went to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready.
When I finished bathing and getting dressed I immediately went to the dining area. I found Clyde with a man. When Clyde saw me he immediately approached me.
"You're here. By the way, he's Lucifer. He's my cousin and our pilot for the day." Clyde's introduction to the man was very serious -faced.
"U-Uhm, hello." It just nodded at me. I was not comfortable with his serious face.
"I'm sorry. That's really it." Clyde whispered to me that I just nodded too.
"Let's eat first before leaving." We sat down one by one and started eating. I was silent as Clyde and his cousin had a serious conversation.
"So, how are you? How's life?" Clyde asked his cousin with a smile who was still serious.
"Fine." His cousin answered.
"Really? No girlfriend?" Clyde asked with a smile that seemed teasing.
"You know I don't want to have a girlfriend. Just flings." A cold voice answered.
I was just shaken by what I heard. Men again.
"When do you plan to settle? Have a girlfriend so that your colorless world can be happy!" Clyde teased but Lucifer just nodded.
"Girls are boring. I don't want a serious relationship. I just fvck." My cheeks flushed at what I heard from Lucifer.
It's very vulgar. I was the one who was ashamed. Clyde's cousin is obviously a fvckboy.
"I was like that before. It's good that I saw that for me." My heart beat faster when Clyde looked at me after he said that.
"You're cheesy, Clyde." Clyde laughed and scolded me especially because of what Lucifer said.
"There will also come a time when you will be as cheesy as I am." Clyde laughed but Lucifer just shook his head again.
"Never."
The two of them continued talking until the three of us had finished eating and were ready to board.
"Are you ready?" Clyde approached me.
I looked around again. I will miss this place.
"We'll be back here too. Promise." He said and held my hand.
I smiled at him and nodded. "Yes, we'll be back." We took a ride.
It only took me a few minutes to realize that we were ready to leave this island.
I felt the helicopter slowly lift as Lucifer was in front of us and maneuvering the vehicle.
When we were finally in the air, I took another look at the whole place. The vast sea, the trees, and even the house.
I don"t know how many minutes or how long our trip took. I just realized that the helicopter was slowly landing on the rooftop of the Salvadore company.
When we left, we immediately heard mom Eleanor screaming as she ran towards me.
"Nathania! Oh my God, you're so gorgeous my dear!" He immediately hugged me tightly.
"Mom, take it easy. You might pinch Nathania's stomach." Clyde scolded and scolded the mother when Mom Eleanor finished hugging me.
"I know right! You don't have to tell me!" It glistened making me smile.
"Nathania, hija." Clyde's dad.
"Hello." I vindicated it.
"Let's go to your office first Clyde. Nathania might be tired." Mom Eleanor pulled me over.
When we entered Clyde's office, Mom Eleanor immediately requested Clyde's secretary for something to eat.
"I'm sorry tita and tito, but I have to go. I still have meetings to attend so I can't join you here anymore. Next time nalang ulit." Lucifer nodded and said goodbye immediately. I was urinating so I also said goodbye.
"Oh, hija! Clyde's office bathroom is broken. Just join me in the comfort room outside." I immediately turned to mom Eleanor.
"Don't, it's just me." Clyde still looked at me but I shook my head at him. I went out immediately and thankfully I found the cr right away. But even though I could not enter, I heard voices in the hall.
"Stop stalking me, woman!" I peeked out and my eyes widened when I saw Lucifer facing a beautiful woman.
"P-But Lucifer-"
"Stop pestering me and stay away from me!" The woman closes her eyes at Lucifer's cry. Lucifer immediately left and left the woman there.
When Lucifer finally left, my eyes widened even more when I saw the woman begin to cry. I was suddenly confused so I immediately approached him.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to see you. Here." Fortunately, I had a handkerchief with me so I handed it to him.
The woman looked up and smiled sadly.
"S-Thank you ..." I didn't do anything as it also hurriedly ran towards the direction that Lucifer had taken earlier.
Surprisingly, I just shrugged my shoulders and went to the bathroom.
I ADJUSTED Clyde's neck tie when I saw it was a bit stiff as he adjusted himself in front of the mirror.
"Thank you." He smiled and gave me a kiss on the lips.
"Where are we going?" I asked and hugged it from behind as we both stood in front of the mirror.
"We're going to Lucifer's company. We have a meeting."
"Are you going to take me with you?" I asked as he smiled.
"Maybe I'll miss you right away so I'll just take you with me." I laughed at his answer and kissed his cheek.
"Let's go?" He was there and immediately took my hand.
We walked out of Clyde's condo together. Ever since we came from the island, he has taken me to the condo. He said he didn't want to take me home anymore because we had a lot of bad memories there.
When I got to the parking lot he put me on first before he followed.
"How old is Lucifer?" I suddenly asked.
I'm just really curious about Clyde's cousin. His face was so serious that it was as if he couldn't smile. I guess it's just a little mistake, you'll be scolded.
"Why?" Clyde asked frowning.
"I just want to know." I shrugged in response.
"He's 26." I nodded at his answer.
"So, he doesn't have a girlfriend?" I asked again as he turned to me.
"Why are you asking? Do you like him?" My lips quivered at what he said.
"What ?! No!" I refused to shake any more.
"Then why are you asking if he has a girlfriend?"
"Of course! I'm just wondering why he doesn't have a girlfriend, he's handsome, tall, rich and–"
"Nathania !!" My eyes widened when he suddenly stopped the car.
"What is it, Clyde? Are you going to kill yourself?" His face was dark when he turned to me.
"Do you like my cousin, Nathania?" Its jaw tightened.
"I said no! Are you crazy? I was just asking."
"Then why are you praising him ?! Don't you know? I'm also handsome, tall, and rich!" Jealousy was so obvious on his face that I smiled.
"Why are you smiling?" There was a streak of annoyance in his voice so my smile widened.
My Clyde, jealous.
"Drive again. I want to see Lucifer." I was pissed so his face darkened even more.
"I'm warning you, Nathania." I laughed at his reaction and kissed his lip.
"Love you!" I said smiling.
"Are you teasing me?" I laughed even harder at his question and squeezed his cheeks.
"Are you jealous?" I whispered as he frowned.
"I don't want you to praise other man, Nathania. I just have to." He said and kissed my lips. It turned my head even closer to him.
"Your possessive." I smiled as our lips parted.
He just grinned and went back to driving.
I was secretly shaken.
Even his cousin, was jealous.
When we arrived at Lucifer's building we immediately entered the elevator. Clyde's hand was on my waist and coiled.
When the elevator opened we walked again until we reached Lucifer's secretary's table.
"Good morning Sir Clyde." Stand up the woman I think is in her 20s. It was beautiful and very close to wearing.
I winced. It would be nice if I didn't like his clothes. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against what women wear but I really feel differently about Lucifer's secretary.
"Where's your boss?" Clyde asked in a cold voice.
"He's in the office, Sir. We're still talking." I notice in the woman's eyes that she feels admiration for Clyde. Its smile also seems to attract.
"Who?" Clyde asked again.
"I don't know because I'm new here. But Sir is talking to a woman. He came in suddenly." I stared at the emptiness as I stared at the woman.
I really feel different with this woman.
Clyde turned his watch and wrapped his arm around my waist again.
I saw the loss of the woman"s smile that I rejoiced inwardly. He even looked at my stomach and when he realized he just gave me a fake smile.
"Sir Lucifer is telling you to just wait in the conference room." Clyde nodded.
Clyde pulled me slightly and we were about to head into the conference room when the door to Lucifer's office suddenly opened.
A woman came out of there with a series of tears coming out of her eyes.
My lips parted and my eyes widened when I saw who it was.
The woman who came out of Lucifer's office was the woman crying in the hall of the cr.
I was stunned and amazed at the look on the woman"s face as she quickly walked away. When he passed in front of us we were still looking at each other but he also immediately looked away.
I followed the woman's gaze as she cried running away.
The door of Lucifer's office opened again and he went out there. Its jaw is tense and its face is very dark. It was obviously furious.
"Lucifer. What happened?" Clyde asked and approached his cousin.
Lucifer clenched his fist and shook.
"Nothing. Let's go." Turan it and preceded the walk towards the conference room.
Clyde and I looked at each other and it shrugged.
It approached me again and held my hand.
"I guess Lucifer is in trouble." Clyde smiled.
Clyde's meeting ended immediately. I noticed that Lucifer didn't seem to be focused on the meeting. It seems that their meeting mates also noticed it so it ended easily.
"Are you okay?" Clyde asked as he drove towards his company.
"Of course. I just can't get over what I saw. Do you know the woman who came out of Lucifer's office?" I will ask.
Clyde shrugged and shook his head. "Nope. I don't know the girl, but she's familiar to me."
"Because I also saw her when I was going to cr. I saw that Lucifer shouted at her and pushed her away. That woman was also crying." I nodded but Clyde just shrugged again.
"Maybe she's one of Lucifer's women who wants to fuck my cousin again? You know, my cousin's s*x life is active. He doesn't take himself seriously and his women are different. When he doesn't want you anymore, he doesn't want you anymore really. So many women are still chasing Lucifer because they want to repeat. " Clyde grinned at me.
"You're a cousin."
"Oh, why am I touched?" Its a laughable question.
"You're a woman too, aren't you? You're just the same."
"Honey, I'm a woman but that was then. Now, not anymore. You're just my woman." It turned to me and winked at me.
I just shook my head and smiled. "Just make sure I'm your only girl." I warned and even saluted it.
"Yes ma'am!"
We arrived at Clyde"s company. The two of us took the elevator until we reached the front of its office.
When his secretary saw us, he immediately stood up and greeted Clyde.
"Good morning Sir Clyde. Your fiancée is in your office." I was shocked to hear from its secretary.
"What ?!" Clyde suddenly seemed confused and let go of my hand.
It immediately went to the office. I followed him and we entered his office together. My eyes widened when I saw Daniella wearing lingerie. It sat in Clyde's swivel chair with its legs spread and its feet resting on the table.
"Clyde, babe-" It didn't end when his eyes widened when he saw me with Clyde.
"What are you doing here, Daniella ?!" Clyde shouted so loudly that Daniella suddenly stood up and took the dress that was on the sofa and put it on.
"Clyde, who is she? Why are you with her–"
"What are you doing here, Daniella?" Clyde repeated. Daniella still blinked and suddenly smiled.
"Ofcourse! I'm here to surprise you! I didn't know that someone with you was coming in here. I just want to give you a surprise s*x."
My ears were touched by what I heard from Daniella.
Surprise s*x?
The head heats up and feels annoyed.
"Get out of here, Daniella." Daniella's smile faded and was replaced by surprise at what Clyde had said.
"What ?! What are you saying, Clyde? I'm your fiancée, so why are you–"
"I said get out of here!" I barely jumped at Clyde's shout. Daniella's lips parted as if surprised by the man's attitude.
"What happened to you, Clyde? Why are you firing me and who is this with you?" Daniella turned to me.
"Who are you? Why are you with Clyde?" It raised an eyebrow at me.
I turned to Clyde and saw his fists clenched and his jaw clenched.
I gasped and looked up at Daniella.
"I'm Nathania Rose Oliveros–"
"Nathania? You're the one who answered Clyde's phone?" Its eyes narrowed at me.
"Yes, me." I answered so he turned to Clyde.
"'Didn't you say you weren't with me?" He asked Clyde and Daniella's gaze shifted to us.
"Daniella, can you please get out–"
"Do you have a relationship?" Cut it.
I was stunned again. I did not answer. I let Clyde answer for us.
"Daniella–"
"She's pregnant. Are you the father?" Daniella asked again.
I stared at Clyde. Waiting for its answer.
Will he answer Daniella?
Will he tell the truth?
Or will he reject me and our son?
We waited a few seconds. Clyde suddenly sighed and looked at me first before Daniella.
"Yes. We have a relationship. She's pregnant and I'm the father." Daniella's lips parted at the answer she heard.
I secretly smiled. My heart was beating fast. It was so much fun because Clyde didn"t deny us.
"W-What?" Daniella laughed softly as if in disbelief.
"You're just kidding right?" Daniella asked but Clyde just nodded.
"I'm not kidding Daniella. It's true." Take it seriously.
"What ?! W-Why? I'm your fiancée Clyde! How could you do this to me ?!" Daniella shouted.
"The engagement is off, Daniella. There will be no wedding. The wedding can't go on." Clyde said in a cold voice.
"How dare you, Clyde ?! I thought you love me?" Tears came out of Daniella's eyes.
"Let's just talk another time, Daniella. I want you to leave my office now." Clyde calmed down but Daniella just shook her head.
"No! I want to know the reason Clyde! Is that why you didn't want to come home here when I called you because of this woman? You had a relationship and you got pregnant? You said you didn't have a woman on that island! You lied to me! All this time, you have a hook– "
"I didn't hook him up–"
"You're a cheater! His stomach has grown so you've been fooling me for a long time?" I was suddenly bored with what I heard.
Excuse me, I was the first of you.
I wanted to say that but I just kept quiet.
"Daniella, please get out of my office now." There was a warning in Clyde's voice but Daniella just shook her head.
"No! I won't leave here until you tell me the truth! You've been fooling me for a long time–"
"Yes!" Clyde shouted so Daniella stopped.
"Nathania and I have been in a relationship for a long time. And you want to know the reason, Daniella? Do you want to know the truth? Don't act as if you don't know anything." Clyde stepped forward and stared at Daniella intently.
"I don't love you, Daniella. I want a revenge. Don't act as if you don't know what your father did to me." Daniella's eyes widened again. It seemed surprised.
Clyde smiled. "Are you shocked?"
"H-How did y-you–" It interrupted Daniella.
"You thought I don't know anything? You thought I didn't know? I already know everything Daniella, so tell you father that be ready. I'm charging you."
