"If you are my real mother, why did you introduce yourself just now? Why do I have to suffer for something I shouldn't? Do you know what I have been through or suffered because of something I didn't know?" Annoyed, I asked her one after another. I went through so much because of a big lie in my life.
Then now, she will introduce herself as if all those things don't exist? Nonsense! I don't need a mother if I have lived for several years without her!
"Please, understand me, I can't do that because..." Mrs. couldn't continue. What she was saying. funny so I turned my back on her.
"You can't even explain yourself, how am I going to trust you? Just please go and leave. I don't need a mother, not anymore," I said before entering the house and locking the door. Before the door closed completely, I looked at Mrs.Gamilla's face, somehow it hurts me to see her cry.
Especially now that I know the truth, I still can't help but regret it. If she didn't give me to my dad, would my life be okay? Will i have a normal happy life? If only, I could turn back the time, I would not choose this path. While thinking, the image of Warren's face suddenly entered my mind.
"Oh yeah, I still have him." I whispered and sighed. Despite terrible things that happened to me, I'm happy right now. And that's all that matters.
"Good for you, your parents are still alive," I was surprised by Rechelle's sudden speech. She was sitting on the sofa with a serious expression on her face.
"Don't worry, Rechelle. You still have me, and I'll never leave you alone," I whispered and approached her. Her expression suddenly became confused as I approached but I just smiled and hugged her.
"I'll be your mother soon, and I care for you so much, I'll avange your family and give you the best in life," I said with a smile and stroked her hair. I won't let you regret meeting us.
"You'll really do that?" She was shocked. I nodded with a smile.
"That's cool..." She hesitantly said. I'm a bit confused by her actions but I didn't really mind it, and just hugged her. Somehow, deep inside, I knew, I wanted this kind of relationship since I was a child, A mother's warmth. But I guess, it's too late now. I don't need such people.

I was just watching the news when suddenly warren came and kissed me on the cheek from behind the sofa I was sitting on, but before his lips touched me, I blocked itand pushed him away.
"Why are you here?" I asked him annoyed.
"This is my home, rafa," he complained while frowning.
"Oh, right," I whispered and gave him a cold look.
"If you're hungry, cook. If not, keep quiet," I said and turned my attention to the TV.
"You said before, the wife should take care of the hubby," I heard him complained. he frowned at the tone of his speech, so I didn't look at him.
"I don't remember saying such things," I only said.
"Yes, you did!" He still insists.
"Why would I say something so stupid?"
"You're The one who told me about being a hubby, you know."
"I didn't," I said stubbornly and glared at him.
"Yes, you do. You're the nanny after all," he said and sat next to me, at the same time as I was surprised by what he said, I stood up and faced him seriously.
"You mean, the nanny who said silly things to you that you were referring to before?" I asked in shock.
"Yup, I just called you nanny so you can believe it. But in reality, nanny is your younger self," he said.
I don't know what to say anymore, I'm feeling dizzy from what I found out, I didn't realize I lost the strength to stand up, and was overcome by the darkness.
________
Warren's Pov.
I was surprised when Rafaelia suddenly fell, so I easily stood up to catch her. When she fell into my arms, I stared at her unconscious face.
I just got hold of Rafaelia again, and it's surprising how thin her body is and how light she is compared to before. I laid her down on the sofa and stared at her face. It must have been my fault she's so stressed out.
"I'm sorry, I can't help it. I love you so much, and I'll do anything to make you mine," I whispered and kissed her on the forehead.
"Brother? What happened to her?" Rechelle screamed in panic and quickly approached us.
"She fainted." I coldly said.
"It's not surprising, a lot has been happening to her, she founds out something one after another, about you, his step mother and his real mom." Rechelle whispered worriedly so I glared at her.
"Don't meddle with the adult's problem, kid. Just focus on what I'm telling you to do." I seriously said to him. Her expression immediately changed and became serious.
"I know. Don't worry, I'll do anything so sister won't leave you. Just, keep your promise," she said seriously. I grinned at her and turned to Rafaelia.
"Just focus on your job. And I'll kill Yuhan for you," I answered her while stroking Rafaelia's hair.
I'll kill anyone if that means, Rafaelia could be mine. Nothing's matter in this world besides her.
My beloved Rafaelia.
_______
Rafaelia's Pov.
I slowly opened my eyes and held my head while sitting. It hurt quite a bit, and I don't even remember much of what happened last night.
"Wifey! It's good that you're finally awake! Waahhhh I was worried about you so much I thought you were going to leave me, *sniff*" I raised my eyebrows when I saw Warren crying like a child. I sighed and slapped him.
"Shut up, stop acting a fool," I said angrily to him and got up from lying down, but the dizziness hit me so I almost fell.
"Are you okay?" Warren's deep voice returned to normal as he caught me. I stared at his handsome face staring at me seriously.
If you think about it, this is really very hundsome so Warren. And his muscular body.
"Should I get a popcorn? It's like you're in a slow motion movie." I immediately got away from Warren when I heard Rechelle's voice.
"Rechelle is ruining the moment," Warren complained in a pout.
"Shut up, Warren. What do you mean I'm the nanny?"
"It's really you! You know, we were quite close when we were kids, you taught me things that I said nanny said." I was dumbfounded by hearing and remembering all the words that the nanny said.
Little by little, my cheeks warmed up when I remembered what fake Warren had done. He kissed, hugged me, slept while on top of me, and everything! I glared at him and attacked. I punched him in the face but he caught it.
"Wow!" I stopped when I heard Rechelle's scream.
"Sorry, baby, but don't take this seriously, it's called a lover's quarrel," Warren said to Rechelle and winked at me.
"What a player! You did everything on purpose, you made me look like a fool!" I yelled at him in annoyance. From being a fist, he opened my hand and held it tightly.
"I had no choice, but don't worry, whatever I said was true. I'll only love my wife, protect her, and do whatever she wants me to." he said and kissed the back of my hand and smiled at me. My heart suddenly beat at his words. It hits different with his current voice than when he said that before.
"Well, I guess, past is past," I whispered and forcefully withdrew my hand. I just stared at his smiling face.
"Are you guys done yet? I'm hungry, I'll be late for school!" Rachelle complained.
"Oh yeah, sorry, i already cooked. Let's eat," Warren said and put his arm around me but I elbowed his stomach causing him to writhe in pain.
"Ouch! Ouch, help!" he was acting in so much pain but Rechelle and I ignored him and went to the dining room first and started eating.
After a while, Warren also came holding his stomach.
"I don't think I'll be having a great meal." I heard him whisper. Along with his arrival, someone followed, his maid.
"Ma'am, someone has sent you," said a maid while holding a gift. I checked who it was from and it was from Mrs. Gamilla.
"Throw it." I ordered coldly. She nodded and quickly left.
"Why did you reject it?" Warren asked.
"I don't need her or anything from her." My answer is simple. He smiled widely.
"Yeah right, all you need is me," he giggled.
"Don't need you, either." I said making his smile disappear.
"That's, harsh wifey!" He said with a frown, I just shook my head with a small smile on my face.
"Is it just me, or is the ampalaya is little bit sweet?" Rachelle asked.
