SISTER IN LAW novel Chapter 21

"Mi amore."

I turned my swivel chair in the direction where the voice came from.

I smiled at him.

"Don't call me like that, remember you are not single anymore, Ed."

It made him frown at what I said so I just laughed. "Whatever! Take the kids home later; I can't have a quality time with my wife, because she spends more time with your children." He complained like a child with tantrums. I just laughed again because of his reaction.

"After you borrowed them from me, now you don't want them anymore. Fine! I'll really get them. I already missed them, they've been with you for three long days," I replied and got up from sitting in my swivel chair.

I grabbed Eddy’s arm and dragged him out of my office with me.

"And where are we going, Miss CEO," he asked me irritably.

"I will pick up my children. And of course to also ate dinner in your house," I replied and entered the private elevator that was just for me, but of course with my dearest friend.

As I got out from the elevator, almost everyone we passed, greeted me… that’s why I also gave them a smile as a reply.

It's been 6 years... six years ago when I chose to stay away from them all.

For a few months I also became a trending topic in tabloids and news on televisions and Radio stations in the Philippines. And even on the internet, search for the word or term, mistress... my name will appear immediately.

Everyone called me different names.

Whore....

Home wrecker....

Mistress....

Husband-stealer…

Bitch…

Ungrateful sister…

A disgrace to the family....

A fallen heiress....

But damn! I'm not a stealer. Hays... people for their judgmental perceptions. But who cares... none!

Even my parents, rejected me... maybe my sister already inherited all the Frank's wealth, oh well I don’t care anymore, anyway that's what she wanted from the very beginning, I hope she is happy and contented, now.

I returned to Spain, fortunately I had my own unit there... days passed, I was ready to get up again and face the new life for me.

But when destiny does play with you, it really makes sure that you will have a hard time before winning the game of life.

2 weeks after I arrived in Spain when I found out a thing that could change my life, my whole-being even more.

I still remember how the Doctor dropped the words...

"You are 8 weeks pregnant, Madam." After hearing those words, my mind suddenly blocked out. I didn't know what to do, but I stayed calm, and thought for the best solutions to this. But I also admire myself because it never crossed to my mind to abort them. And I also made that a reason to be more brave to face life and live for them. They are the gifts, the blessings in my life... proof that God still loves me, that I still have hope. That I am not a hopeless case –that’s something right is still going to happen in my life.

With the help and guidance of my dearest friends, Edward Custodio and Hana Czartoryski, I was able to overcome my ups and downs in my life.

I sold my unit in Spain and I left my clothing line in Eddy’s care for the meantime. Yes! I gave up everything I had to start a new life and I used the money I got from selling my apartment to start a simple and new life in Switzerland.

Eddy helped me find a small house to stay there and I also looked for a job, even if the salary is small as long as it was safe for me and my babies but the income was enough to provide for our needs, push.

Every now and then, Eddy and Hana visit me there, until I gave birth to the angels of my life... that brought so much happiness and fulfillment to me.

After two and a half years of living a simple and happy life in Switzerland --together with my kids, I did not expect the person to visit me there. I remember that day, it was my day-off at the supermarket where I work when suddenly there was a knock on the door of my little house.
