At first, the woman is surprised to see someone holding her hand, she glances at the person holding her. The surprise on her face turns to total disgust when she sees who is holding her.

“Are you insane?” She spat.

“I've been searching for you all over the place, I can't believe I came across you here.”

“Do I know you?” She snaps.

“I don't think I want to make anyone think we are related, but I can't help it. Can you tell me what you did with the one million dollars I gave you last year?”

“If you don't get out of my sight, you idiot, I'm calling the cops on you.”

“You'd better do it because I have it in mind to take you to the cops anyway,” Weston says.

“Let go of my hand.”

Slowly, Weston lets go of her hand, but he stays in front of her to make sure she doesn't leave.

“I give you one second to get lost, Mister,” she says.

“I am assuming you'll tell me what you did with the money within that one second.”

“You're totally crazy, Weston. I mean, how did Ivy manage to stay with you for ten years?”

“What did you do with my money?”

She laughs. “You can call Ivy and ask her that. Anyway, you stink, did you not take your bath today?”

Weston looks around. People are starting to look at them. Some people were taking videos. He bites on his lower lip. What the hell is he even doing? He should have avoided this woman as soon as he saw her.

“I'm going to allow this slip since I don't have time—”

“You asked what I did with your money, right?” She interrupts him.

“Don't worry—”

“I shared it with Ivy. Since you wanted to make the house a surprise for her, she suggested we share the money fifty fifty.”

Weston's heart sinks. “You shared the money with Ivy?” And even with that, his girlfriend still nagged him about not celebrating their tenth year relationship anniversary?

“I mean, you're stupid, Weston. How could you not know your girlfriend would prefer a bag to the house you wanted to buy for her?”

Weston stares at her. He tries to process the whole thing. Like hell, he planned to move into a new house with Ivy last year, he gave money to this woman because she claimed to know the kind of house Ivy would prefer only for her to disappear with his money.

But…his girlfriend knew about it and didn't tell him? Weston stares at the woman in front of him. “What are you saying?”

“Your girlfriend scammed you, Mr Weston, so get lost and stop asking me about any stupid money.” She says and walks off.

At impulse, Weston put his hand in his pocket to take out his phone. He can't find it. Where the hell did the phone go? The car…the phone will be in the car.

Weston hurries over to where the car is.

The woman looks back, thinking Weston is coming after her, she starts laughing.

“You're such a pathetic man.”

Weston is just some distance away from the car when he sights the driver coming over with his phone. Weston waits for the driver to come closer.

All of a sudden, the woman runs to the driver, she hugs him really tightly. “I miss you!” She says into his chest.

The driver tries to pull her away from him but her hold was tight, he glances at Weston with pleading eyes

Weston shrugs and walks closer to them. He stretches his hand to collect the phone. That is when the woman pulls away from the driver.

She looks at Weston in disdain. “Honey, how do you know this stupid guy?”

The driver's eyes widen in shock. He falls on his knees. “Forgive me, sir, my fiancee is slightly mentally ill.”

    “I have now,” Weston drops the picture frame on the sofa and carries Hannah in arms. “How is that? Did they disappear and come back?” She asks. “Daddy, how do people become people? I have not seen anyone jump down from the sky. Are there places where people go to pick babies? Daddy…answer me…” she whines as he carries her in the car. “Which of them should I answer first?” “When I grow up, can I become an actor? I will be on the screen. Will you watch my movies?” “Of course. Why won't I?” About two hours later when Weston drives to his parents house, Hannah is sleeping in the back seat probably tired of rambling for hours. He smiles as he parks the park and wakes her. “Have we arrived?” She asks, looking at him sleepily. Weston nods. “Big pop and lala are waiting to see you.” He helps her get out of the car and holds her hand. He's barely climbed the first step leading to the house when his mother rushes

    Later that evening, Weston is in the sitting room, watching Lorette and Hannah have one of their long funny conversations as they prepare for a visit to his parents. “When I grow older, I want to be a museum tour guide,” Hannah says. “Didn't you say you want to be a make-up artist some minutes ago?” Lorette asks as he helps her into her shoes. “I can do that as a side job. When I don't have clients in the shop, I'll quickly go to the museum,” Hannah says. “What about the online cooking tutorials? How are you going to have time for that?” “Oh…that? Daddy, I can shoot videos at midnight, right?” Weston frowns. “When are you going to sleep then?” “I can sleep for two hours.” “Two hours?” Weston asks in horror. “Yes. I am going to shoot the cooking tutorial videos for like two hours. Another two hours, I'll use it to shoot videos for my dance clas

    Three days later, Weston knocks at the door of a hospital room before going in. The patient on the bed raises his head. He stares at Weston then at Hannah whom Weston is holding.“You're okay?” Weston asks before realizing it's the dumbest question to ask a person on a hospital bed. “Yes…?” Jose answers. Weston can't really tell if Jose is trying to play dumb too or he doesn't know what he's saying. “Hannah, meet Jose, he's one of the best friends that daddy has,” Weston tells his daughter. “And, Jose, this is my daughter.” Jose's mouth parts slightly. He closes it a few seconds later and smiles. “She…she looks young.” Weston chuckles. “Young? What's a five year old supposed to look like? Old?” “I…sorry. I mean. Shit. You have a sure way of taking me by surprise.” “You think so?” Weston strides to Jose's bed. He drops the fruit basket in his hand on the table. “Last time I checked, you did some

    “Hey, Santiago,” his godfather says once there is an answer at the other end. “How are you, sir?”“I…I'm sorry.” His godfather shut his eyes. “What the fuck did you do again? I already told you I got Weston and Lorette covered. I have Weston's kid with me, I'll use her to—” “That's not it,” his father cuts in quickly. “I…um…I told Weston about Dylan.” For a lot of seconds, there is silence at the other end. “Where are you?” Santiago's voice is unbelievably too calm for the revelation. “Home, of course.” “Let's talk face to face.” Then the line goes off. The phone falls from his godfather's hand. He runs his hand through his grey hair. “You have a kid?” “Am I supposed to answer that?” “If I knew you had a kid, I'd have abducted her and used her against you. I had no idea at all.”What? Is he out of his mind? His godfather raises his head and looks at Weston. “Once San

    Weston can tell from the look on her face that there is something more. He waits for her to tell him. “I stumbled in on San and his father arguing one day, San was kind of telling his father to keep shut if he doesn't want his ass in the pool.” Weston waits. He's sure she isn't just telling him just for telling sake. There must be something more. He waits a while longer, forcing his damn brain not to think his daughter is five and she's with fucking Santiago. “He hates it when people snitch on him,” Lorette adds. “Kind of…he…” she lets out a deep breath. “Sorry. I just…I had no idea I'd be telling this to anyone.” For some seconds, she stops to get her emotions back together. “Even if San tells me something as little as what he ate last night that nobody knows about, he doesn't want me to tell anyone. When…I think we were sixteen when I first realized it. He told me he was fooling around with a girl and I kind of jokingly told the girl to tak

    Weston stops the car and runs his hand through his hair. “I begged you, apologized to you, did all sorts of things but you still didn't agree to get married to me, so why do you keep asking about your daughter?” “When did you apologize to me?” There is silence at the other end before Ivy starts to talk. “Okay, since you want to hear it, I'mma tell you. If there is anything I regret, it's having Hannah. I thought you would dump me for some other women later if I didn't have a child for you since you don't really seem all that ready to get married to me. I needed something to assure me you're not going anywhere and getting pregnant seemed like the best deal.” Weston bites hard on his lower lip. “You must have figured this out but I stopped using contraceptives without telling you. But I'm starting to realize it's all stupid now. If I knew Hannah was going to be a burden to me, I wouldn't have gotten pregna
