LOST HEART (The Childhood Lover) || BOOK 3

CHAPTER 17

Lory's POV

After what happened last night,the tabloids and the social media spread the news like a fire quickly spreading on the entire field which the citizens are going out of control and ballistic over the information that they've gotten ,there's a lot of accusations and assumption from the citizens saying that I am a "Brat" and Hattie is a "War freak" but what really affects me the most is the news about the revelation last night.

Until this very moment my mind still can not process and fathom the fact that my soon to be future husband is already a father and has it's own family without including me.I know that it is very heartbreaking knowing that all of our hardship that we both fought together through life might end up to nothingness.

I wanted to fight for our relationship and prevent it from tearing both of us apart,but I don't think my conscience can bare the fact na hindi makakasama ng bata ang tatay niya dahil lang may iba itong kinakasama at kasal sa ibang babae,I know how it feels na mawala sa piling ng iyong magulang and I don't want that to experience or happen to any of the children in this world because we all deserve to have a strong and happy family at ayokong masira yung pangarap na yan dahil lang sakin,it is a very tought and hard situation at sa tingin ko sa murang edad niya,the child doesn't deserve to be in this situation.

Even though that it is the right thing to do,to give way,but I also think that I also don't deserve to be in this situation dahil lang sa pagkakamaling nagawa ni Cody.I don't deserve na masaktan ng ganito,nagmahal lang ako ng tunay at totoo at hindi ko alam na ang kabayaran pala nun ay ito.

That's why now,my mind is arguing wether to hold on or to let go.

I was drowned with my thoughts when all of the sudden someone knocks on my door which makes me back to reality.

"Ms. Lory?pinapatawag po kayo ng daddy niyo."sabi nung personal assistant ko.

"Okay,Tell dad that I'll be there in a few moment."sabay agad kong pinunasan ang mga luha ko at naghilamos bago ako naglagay ng powder para hindi nila mahalata na umiiyak ako.

I was midway on my father's office when I accidentally heard him shouting to someone."How you both acted last night is a disgrace to our family's name!are you even thinking what would people say about your impulsiveness and stupidity!?hindi na kayo nahiya!"mas lalo akong kinabahan nung bigla akong may narinig na nabasag na salamin galing sa loob."I will tell you this one last time and I will never will ever say it again!"nang-gigil niyang sabi."act like a Moon!Be a Moon!"pagkatapos niya yung isigaw ay may kumalabog nanaman galing sa loob and before I knew it the door suddenly burst out open showing Hattie crying while her face is covered with her palms.

Kaya nung nakita ko na siyang tumakbo palayo ay agad na akong huminga ng malamin at pinakalma ang sarili ko para hindi lalo ako kabahan .Nung handa na ako ay matapang na akong pumasok sa loob ng opisina ni Daddy.

"You."he said it with authority while he is sitting on his huge throne.

"Yes,father?"I said looking him straight in the eye,trying to hide my nervousness and my fears away.

"What do you think is the consequences of your actions last night?"then he rose from his chair while his eye still focused on mine.

"I know it's immature,unacceptable and also a disgrace to YOUR family's name,that's why I am willing to accept and face any of the consequences that it's right for me."I said it in my most bravest tone while I stand straight and tall.

"I am surprise!"he said sounding amazed before he shrugged his shoulders."But I think this it is not your fault,since you are what I think is the victim here,that's why for that,let me call on your fiancé and the mother of his son."he said seriously pointing the door that is now slowly opening revealing the two people that he is referring."Good morning."he said professionally.
