Every Wild Needs Innocent

The Man You Love Has Someone Else

" I whispered, nodding as each step brought me closer to Markin. He was leaning against the hood of his car, instantly recognizable with a folder in one hand and the other tucked into his pants pocket. "Ho...dadadada..." My baby's excitement bubbled over as he spotted his daddy. But before we could reach him, a beautiful woman suddenly approached. The smile on my lips faded when I saw her hug him. He laughed and hugged her back tightly. Panic gripped me, and I quickly hid behind a nearby pole, afraid they might see us-though there was really no reason to hide anymore. "Congratulations, Mark! You got the Elvo Street project right away!" the woman exclaimed, her voice carrying over to me. I froze in place, hugging my son tighter as the name of that street struck a chord. Elvo Street. That's where my studio is-or was. Could it be true? Does Markin still want that street for their project? My heart began to race. Why? Why would Markin do this to me? I thought he had no such plans. I thought... "I'm setting up a new firm. Grandpa's company is sticking to the original plan," Markin said, his tone brimming with happiness. Does he know about the recent fire? Could he have learned something? He mentioned regaining a project he once gave up because of us. But now, I don't know what to believe. Would Engineer Markus have told him what happened to us? It doesn't seem like it. Markin came back, yet he didn't come to see us. Hasn't he even wondered about our situation? "Hala, I'm rooting for your success now, Engineer Markin!" the woman cheered. I didn't know her, so I couldn't say whether she was just a friend or... something more. My gaze flickered to the ring Markin had once given me. The pain in my chest was unbearable. "Mommy?" "M-Mommy is fine, love," I murmured, though I was far from okay. "Dad?" My heart clenched as tears welled up in my eyes. Is Markin ignoring us now? I thought he loved us. I thought we mattered to him. No matter what happened, I believed he'd always choose us. But why Elvo Street? Why does he still want it, now that my studio is gone? "Thanks, May Ann. I waited a long time for this and made a lot of sacrifices to get this project and position," Markin said. My son squirmed in my arms, trying to peek as he recognized his daddy's voice. "I knew you could do it, Mark. I guess I'm your inspiration," the woman replied, her words twisting a knife in my chest. Inspired by... another woman? Markin's laughter rang out, and I felt my world crumble. How? How can you be so happy, Markin? Why are you happy? Do you even know what we've been through? Do you know we almost lost your son? Did you care at all? Because if you did, you wouldn't be laughing now. You wouldn't have ignored us completely. "Come on, May Ann. I'll treat you to coffee. You're the one who gives me motivation," Markin said, and tears streamed down my face. This is what heartbreak feels like. The man you love is happy with someone else, completely unaware of what's happening to you. "Sure? You're really treating me, Mark? Aren't you busy? You just came back from Cebu!" "Yes. I'll give you my time first. Work can wait until later," he replied. My breath hitched. He's not coming to see us. After this coffee date, he'll just go back to work. Even though it hurt, I kept watching them. I held my son tightly as Markin carefully helped the woman into his car, shielding her head as she got in. "Daddy!" my son shouted suddenly, breaking free from my grasp. I quickly covered his mouth and hid further behind the pole. Markin glanced around, seemingly hearing something, but then climbed into the driver's seat and drove away. My chest tightened painfully. I finally let go of my son's mouth. "Dadadada..." he whimpered, watching Markin's car disappear into the distance. This is it. This is the end for us. There's no point in hearing Markin's explanation. It's over. Everything is over. "I'm so sorry, love. You won't see your daddy again. From now on, it will just be Mommy and you." I'm Rea Enero Suwaib.

Become Your Bestfriend's Wife

"What if I fall in love with you?" Justine Rose Keenstone Flashback "Whooo! Let's get wasted tonight!" I shouted, turning up the music even louder as my body swayed to the beat. I'm at a club right now, and I'm currently DJ-ing because I took over for a while. This is the life I want—no hassles, no problems, and the freedom to do what I want. "Make some noise!" The crowd went wild, and I took a sip of the drink in my glass. "There he is!" I stopped what I was doing when I saw two bouncers pushing their way through the crowd, heading straight for me. They were looking for me because I had snuck in earlier. I'm still a minor and banned from places like this, but I managed to get in by tagging along with some older folks. I got in easily, but they were sharp and kept looking for me. I jumped off the stage to escape and pushed through the crowd, eventually ending up in a VIP room. Without hesitation, I opened the door and saw two people in a compromising position. They both froze, and the man turned to look at me. Fortunately, they were still kissing when I walked in, and he wasn't completely undressed. I don't know what I would have done if they were both naked. "What are you doing here, young lady?" Oh my, what a blessing in disguise. This guy is quite the looker. "Look, I'm just hiding here because someone is chasing me, but I swear I won't bother you if you want to continue what you were doing. Just let me stay here for a bit," I said. The man frowned, and the woman shot him a glare. Well, I don't care! I know she's just one of those women who come here to entertain men. It's obvious she doesn't like me because she's trying to hook up. "You're not supposed to be here," he said. I just shrugged and sat on the sofa. "Relax, Mr. Whoever You Are. I'm just going to sit here for a while," I replied nonchalantly. "Get out," he said coldly, so I raised an eyebrow at him. "Stop being selfish, Mister! I won't do anything if—" I couldn't finish because he interrupted me. "Not you. I'm referring to this lady beside me." I grinned and looked at the girl he had been kissing earlier. "You heard him, miss. He said get out." She looked at me, then turned to him, slowly running her fingers over his muscular chest, trying to seduce him. I swallowed a few times and looked away. Sure, I enjoy spending time in different clubs, but I'm still innocent when it comes to this sort of thing. "Hmm, don't you want to have fun tonight, Kai—" The woman didn't finish her sentence because the man struck her on the head. "D-did you just shoot her?" "Yes! Now, if you want to live longer, then get the hell out of here." He seemed sorry, but he couldn't scare me that easily. "Why would I? I'm not doing anything to you, Mister! So stop threatening me," I said with disgust, looking at the woman's body. "Ha! Feisty. Fine, do whatever you want here. Just don't bother me." I smiled sweetly and nodded at him. And that's how our so-called "friendship" began—when a mafia boss became my best friend because of those bouncers.
