    The emergence of such thoughts surprised me , but I took a deep breath before patting my cheek to re


    mind myself to focus on the present . _ My only mission then was to get back everything I gave to


    the two bastards .

    For the next few days , I stayed at Isabel ‘s house while Carlos called me every day . Gradually , I


    got used to exchanging sweet words with him in


    a calm manner , despite my initial disgust , while Isabel praised me as she observed my actions .intera


    ctions with him .


    My acting skills improved by leaps and bounds in just a few days , while the time had


    back . Also , I sure missed Bianca after hiding for so long . _ _ _ _ _ I actually missed her  so much _


    I came home the day before with a gift I picked out for her .


    what


    Upon entering my condo area , I lifted my head as I watched the house we lived in , remembering som


    ething all the time . _ My mother was the one who paid for


    the house , behind my father ‘s back . Carlos got so mad at me afterknowing that I


    took my mother ‘s money that she swore to return as


    soon as she had money . However , she never once mentioned him over the years , nor returned the fi


    ve million she used to set up herpany , which she promised to repay . _Now that I


    look back , I was certainly a fool to believe him .


    I walked


    through the security gates with mixed feelings after shaking my head , only to bump into Daniel while w


    aiting for the elevator , who I had n’t seen in a long time . It


    was not without some embarrassment that I faced him , since I refused himseverely at  that time , after


    having decided on Carlos as my beloved , after our separation , then I wondered why he would be ther


    e . _


    “ What brings you here ? _ “ While many possibilities crossed my mind , what he said was what struck


    me the most .


    scared .


    “ I live here . ”


    I was surprised that not only did he live in the same condo as me , but that we were neighbors living in


    the same building . “ When did you move here ? _ Did you buy a house here ? ”


    With a nod , he confirmed my suspicions . _ _ ” I bought it a little while ago , so I came to check


    out the interior , as it was recentlypleted ” .


    The elevator stopped on the eighth floor while we were talking , while I said as I got out of


    the elevator : “ I live on the eighth floor , so you can go through if you want ”.


    “OK.”


    I only made the offer as a courtesy , so I didn’t expect him toe with


    me . Though I regretted extending the offer , I could only open the door while putting on a calm facade ,


    all the while thinking of excuses I could use to drive away—


    lo , as I didn’t want him to stay for long , nor did I want him to know about my current life . As


    soon as the door was opened , we could see that the floor was full of toys , which


    I quickly exined : “ The house is alittle messy now ” .


    He did n’t seem to mind though . _ ” It’s normal when you have children ” .


    With a lot of indignation , I signaled for him to sit down while I started to arrange the toys on


    the floor . “ Sit down _


    while I pack things ” .  _


    However , it was at that moment that I heard noisesing from my room that adults would immediatel


    y recognize .
