I gave Ulie my penthouse address. This is the safest place to talk. I need to be careful, especially now that my pregnancy is the hottest issue now. The media are eager to get some scoop.
If the media found out about my meeting with Ulie, they will surely assume that he is the father of my child. Though it's true, I want to keep it a secret for as long as I could.
Everything is a mess. I was planning to go to the US, but because of the LHI project, that plan of mine slipped my mind.
My initial plan was to stay in the US until I gave birth to my twins so that it will not be an issue.
When I’m done giving birth, I will go back to the Philippines and let the media assume that my twins are adopted, though I won’t confirm or deny their assumption. I will just let them be. My plan was perfect, but I wasn’t able to execute it because of the LHI project.
Now I'm starting to regret why did I choose Ulie. Now things got more complicated. I should have just picked another guy instead of him. But can you blame me? He was so hot that night.
I heard my doorbell, and I guess he's here already.
When I open the door, Ulie’s serious face welcomed me.
I told him to come in and guide me into my living room. I gave him a coffee.
I am feeling so nervous right now. This was not included in my plan. I honestly don’t know what to do now.

"Now talk." He said in an authoritative tone.
I swallowed hard. Why is he so serious?
I went out of my sofa, trying to calm myself. I face him, and then I pointed at my belly.
“Well, you see...” I just said.
He clenched his jaw then he nodded.
"That's mine." It wasn't a question.
"How can you be so sure?"
I saw him smirk. "It’s crystal clear, baby."
"Why? Because I was a virgin at that time? How sure are you that after we did it, I did not do it with the other guy?" I asked him. I was still trying to make a reason to deny his assumption.
The truth is, I gave up the thought of denying it. I asked him here to tell him the truth. But I said to him that to tease him. I just wanted to see his reaction.
"I'm sure you did not. And I'm sure that you plan all this. In short, you take advantage of me.”
My eyes widen in disbelief. "What did you say? I take advantage of you?! Excuse me!"
He chuckled.
I glared at him. He is making fun of me. I was nervous about nothing. He seems not serious about this.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He said in a serious tone now.
Is he bipolar?
"Why would I? I mean, yes, you are right, I plan all this. But I want to keep the child for myself."
"Why?" He asked with pure curiosity.
I rolled my eyes.
"Because I only wanted a child. The husband or the father of my child is not included. That's why I chose to have a one-night stand. But you keep on showing up! You messed up with my plan!" Then I gave an exasperated sigh.
He raised his hands. "Hey, easy there! Please don't blame me. Blame fate because they kept on bringing us together."
"Fate your ass!" I said, then I pouted my lips.
He shook his head, and then he went to me.
This guy acts like we are close. He looks like he didn’t take my situation seriously. He is still playful.
"But we have a problem."
My forehead creased. "Problem? What do you mean?"
"I have a fiancé. It was an arranged marriage." He confessed.
