Love And Hate

Chapter 9

Emilio POV

"Here you go ma'am" Vic handed a file to my grandmother. It's been 3days since I found out I might have fathered twins with Joanne. I still couldn't believe she didn't tell me. Is that how tricky and evil she is? She must be joking to think I will allow her get away with this.

My family are all here in my house again, to be honest I love when the Santiago's get together for a common goal and I am more happy Elizabeth was able to stop the publishment for now.

"It says here that Joanne Lola Castillo gave birth to her twins 5th September 2012 at the City Hospital about 3am for the boy and 3:30am for the girl" My grandmother was read ing the file. Anytime anything happens in my family my grandmother takes the king's seat and rule.

"Emilio, when did you sleep with this Joanne of a girl?" My mum asked me. "December 13th to 14th 2011" I can never forget that date, it was the day I fell in love and got my heartbroken at the same time.

"Are you sure Emilio?" my grandmother questioned me. "Yes I am Grandma". I responded Of course I am sure I can never forget that night.
"That is to say you are the father, if she didn't sleep with someone else that looks like you before that date or after" that got me tensed

"Joanne was a virgin before that night. Those are my children" I responded in her defense. I do not know why I am still defending her after what she did to me.

My grandmother continued to read the file not minding my outburst, "She works in Terry's House of Fashion as the head of Design, children's name Emilio Jnr Castillo and Emily Castillo" my heart had a strange feeling all of a sudden, I can't believe she named our son after me, I have a junior that looks like me somewhere in this country and I had no idea, suddenly I became angry what's with the Castillo when they are mine, they are Santiagos

"I will be leaving" I stood up to go "where are you going son?" My mum asked me "I am going to see and get my children" I said and walked away. I didn't care what anyone says but I will face Joanne once and for all.

As I stir at where she worked, I tried to calm myself before I stepped down.

I walked into the building and ignored all the eyes on me. "Where is the Design department?" I asked the front desk person in a commanding turn. "6th floor by the right sir" she responded.

I walked with Vic behind me as we got into the elevator, I watched as the numbers changed with so much anger in me for that lady. Finally getting the the 6th floor we stepped out. As I turned to my right, a ball hit my feet.

"What the Hell, who brings a kid to work" I said with anger in me. I was already angry at a worker here and now another stupid worker decided to be unprofessional by bringing her kid to the office, I mean what happened to the nannies.

A tiny hand touched my feet and before I could turn I heard a commanding tiny voice "Give me my ball Mr." I turned to my surprise it was my little carbon copy stirring at me. His tiny hands in his pocket. "Are you deaf Mr. I said give me my ball? " He shouted at me and I kneel to his height, amuse by how much confidence he has, he must have take after me for sure.

"Your ball hit me JR atleast be polite and say sorry then please" I say to him smiling. He seemed not interested in my advice but he just gave in "if I don't say sorry and please I know you won't give me the ball, so Mr. Sorry and please give me my ball now". I laughed at how be spite those words. I handed him the ball

Just as he collected it "Emilio what did mummy say?" I and JR both turned abd then I saw my daughter Emily. She is the splitting image of my mum except for the blonde hair. She is beautiful.

"I just came to get my ball" Emilio JR yelled at his sister, she didn't stay quiet "then get inside now" Wow they are truly Santiagos. As I followed them inside, there I saw her.the lady who broke my heart. The one who used me for one night. Joanne.

"Joan" she turned in fear. As she met me, her face turned to anger too.

Joanne POV

There he was Emilio, the man who I hated. The man who used me for one night to satisfied his sexual greed. The man I hate. What the hell is he doing here?and how did he find me? So many questions in my head.

"So you got pregnant and refuse to tell me I was going to be a father? What have you been telling my kids?" He whispered in anger to me, I turned around to see the kids in the other side Of the office.

"Why should I tell you Mr Santiago? I am doing fine with my children and I don't need your money. Besides aren't you getting married?" I spit in anger too.

"You are just a selfish bitch. Is money the only thing a father provides for his kids? What about the love of a father?"he looks irritated at me

"I have given them all the love the can ask for. They don't need you" I responded to him

He ran his left hand through his hair and his right was in his pocket, my son always do that too. "When I met you, you were complaining about how your father didn't live you weren't you?" I can't believe he remembered. I didn't answer

"And to think for someone who was hunting for a Father's Love to deprive her own children of a Father's Love, how different are you from that father of yours?" He looked at me with so much hate. My heart broke just listening to his words. they were painful and unexpected. I am nothing like my father, I love my children and I am always there for them no matter what.

"You have no right to tell me that. I did wanted to call but I found out you were engaged" I said sadly. "And then you took it upon yourself to not tell me? What connection did my engagement has with knowing I will be father Miss Castillo?"

He called me Miss Castillo, it hurts deep now. This is worst than the day I found out he was engaged. But in a way he is right, I was selfish, his engagement was never a reason not to tell him.

I couldn't respond to him. I cleaned the tears that escaped my eyes. I looked at him and saw something like hurt in his eyes but it immediately went away. Taking some minutes to gather my thoughts, I turned to him "Since you are here already, please just sit" he sat down thankfully without a words. "My Superman and My Supergirl, come here" my two babies came to me.

"Mummy are you ok?" Emily asked me . "Did this man make you sad?" Emilio JR turned to his father with anger and gave him his dangerous look.

"No babies,mummy is fine"I held their hands and kissed it each. "You know mummy told you that daddy traveled for a business trip right? "They both nodded their heads, I cleared my throats again "well daddy is back and this time for good" I said with a smile

"Where is daddy" "can we go see him now mummy" they both asked me with so much excitement. I smiled at them both. "Well babies that man over there is your daddy"

My babies stirred at Emilio. I looked at him and for the first time I saw him smile genuinely and beautifully. In his eyes were pure love for our children. I might have been a one night thing for him but atleast he loves our babies.

"Go say hi to daddy kids". They walked to him "I am Emily And this is my twin brother Emilio JR"they both smiled at him. Tears fell from his eyes.

"Don't cry Daddy" Emily said whilst her and Junior cleaned his tears.

Emilio hugged them so passionately that felt evil to have kept him away from them.
