How to be a Dad?

Chapter 17

Mga 100x ang inis nyo kay Nadine here :) Brace yourself guys.

"I trusted you, Tianny! I trusted you! You're a traitor. You betrayed me," Nadine seethed to Tianny.

"I was just trying to help, Nadz!" Tianny exclaimed.

"Well, sorry to break this but you're not helping me. You're ruining the thing that I have kept for many years. Why did you do this, Tianny? Are you in love with that jerk?! Did he pay you? Or you brought the twins to have an excuse to meet him? You bitch!" their friends were in wide shock when they heard Nadine's swearing towards Tianny. Yassi, just opted to be quiet even if she knew the truth about everything. She's afraid that Nadine might hate her if she opened up. She chose to be selfish, and she wished Tianny would understand her.

They never thought Nadine could say such things to one of her friends. She was one of the closest person in Tianny's life.

Tianny continued crying but Nadine just looked at her, anger evident on her face. She was fuming to the fact that Tianny betrayed her. When Nadine went back to their home after sending Luis to the airport, her kids were missing. Only Trisha was left inside her house saying that the twins and the rest of them went out. But then, earlier today, she read from the news that an identified woman was spotted with the twins, en route to James' place. They also said that the car is Tianny's. And Nadine knew that it was.

Tianny didn't confirm it, nor declined it. She just accepted all the accusations since she knew better. She's just hoping that Nadine would hear her out instead of talking her like that.

Tianny looked one by one at the girls as they shook their head, indicating that they can't do anything for her. It breaks her heart because after all the bonds, hardships and memories they had, they would leave her hanging, defenseless.

"I'm so sorry," said Trisha.

"Of course, who am I compared to the great Nadine, right?" she said, as she stood up, tearing. "I'm just Christianna. But I want you to know that everything we had for me was the greatest thing that happened in my life, except for this moment, I realized that I was alone since the very beginning. Thank you. And Nadine, you're so selfish. Everything was after you, protecting you but, do you know how they feels? You changed. You only think about yourself, what's only good for yourself. You said you're doing everything for the twins, but no. You were doing this all for yourself, to protect yourself. Why don't you loosen up some grip? You're too scared," she wiped her tears that was falling down on her cheeks and looked at her friends. "I'm crying not because I need to leave you. I'm crying because of happiness, because at last, I already have something to do for myself now," she said and left the room, alone.

They were just simple teenagers who dreams when they decided to enter the cruel yet elegance life of being a celebrity back then. They found each other's shelters as they shed their sweat and tears before they could achieve their aspirations in life. All the bonds and memories to James were to be kept and cherished. Here, James has it all, the fame, money and name. All he needed is his family, his kids to be with him.

"I didn't bring the kids because I want you again on Nadine's life. I brought the kids because I feel the need to do so. I didn't do this for your extent. This is for the kid's benefit since Nadine hates you and I don't like you. She doesn't want you around her life but, can she avoid that? You were part of it since the very start," she said as she took the beanbag comfortably and drank her can of beer that she got from the refrigerator.
