(Note: This chapter is the continuation of Prologue.)

I am at my room right now, it's been a week since Leonel and I broke up but it still hurt so mucn. Hindi ko alam kung anong mararamdaman ko, masasaktan ba ako dahil niloko nila ako o maiinsulto dahil ipagpapalit niya na lang din naman ako duon pa sa mukhang kuhol.

"Ms. Christelle?.." one of our maid knock on my room's door, "Pinapatawag po kayo ng Daddy nyo, kakain na daw po.."

Huminga ako ng malalim at pinunasan ako aking mga luha, "Yes po, Ate. I'm coming.."

"Sige po, Ms. Christelle.." narinig ko ang yabag ng aming maid pababa.

Inayos ko ang aking sarili, namamaga pa din aking mukha pero ayos na siguro to.

Wala akong ganang kumain pero hindi naman ako pwedeng mag skip ng lunch dahil baka mapano ang baby ko. Hindi ko yon makakaya.

Matapos kong mag ayos ng sarili ay bumaba na ako at dumeretso sa dining, kompleto na sila Mommy, Daddy, and Cassidy sa table. Ako na lamang ang hinihintay.

"Morning, guys.." I lazily greeted my family but they still greeted me with warm welcome.

Naupo na ako sa aking pwesto at tumawag ng maid, "Ate, Milk, please?.."

Mabilis naman na kumilos si Ate Nannie para mag timpla ng gatas.

"Milk? In lunch? Seriously, ate?" Cassidy asked curiously, our parents looked at me too.

"Why not? It's good for the bone." I answered her nervously, they didn't know a thing.

They didn't know that I am pregnant, that's why I am so nervous. They can't know--well, not yet because for sure Dad will kill me!

Mukha namang naniwala ni Cassidy sa aking palusot, thank God.

"Christelle, Is it true that Leonel and you have broken up already?" Daddy asked out of nowhere.

Wala akong ganang sumagot, "Yeah. Last week pa."

Bumaling nang tuluyan saakin si Dad, malaking nakangiti. "That's nice!" Tuwang tuwa talaga ang kanyang hitsura, it's like he won on the lottery. "Mr. Hiroshima's Son like you but you keep declining a date with him since you are with that boy, but now.. I think this will be the great time!" nag tataka akong tumingin kay Dad, "If you and Toji gets married then our company and their company will become one, way more better!" pagpapatuloy nito

"What do you mean by that, Dad?" Naguguluhan kong tanong

"What do I mean? What I mean is, I want you to marry Toji Hiroshima for your better future." Dad answered, a big smile plastered on his face.

"But, I don't want to, Dad."

Dad's face immediately change, "What do you mean you don't want to?! I am your father, Christelle. I have the right to meddle with your life, and as long as you are living under my roof, you are going to follow everything as I said and what I want!"

Napatulala ako kay Daddy, ito ang unang beses na sinigawan nya ako at.. nakakatakot..

"Don't just look at me, Christelle!"
