I hope this message finds you, we heard that your was once a piano teacher. And our school wants to hire you as a piano teacher. We want someone to hire with experience and we chose you, reply to this email if your interested.
best regards
Kindergarten School.
My lips parted when I finished reading that email, it was from Aria and Caleb’s school! I quickly replied to the email that I was interested.
I don’t want to waste this opportunity because I know myself that I love teaching! That’s why I stopped being a piano teacher because mom died, I couldn’t teach because of the weight of my feelings, so I chose to resign.
But now that I’m good and fit, I’ll take this opportunity!
“Dad! I received an email, I was offered to be a piano teacher where Aria and Caleb go to school!” I said to him.
“Really?” he asked.
I smiled and showed him the email which he quickly read. “That’s good! Will you accept that?” he said.
I nodded. “Yeah I really miss teaching!”
“It’s nice that you’re going back to teaching.”
“Yup but don’t worry! I will still inherit the company, dad.” I said and laughed but I was surprised when dad became serious and looked away.
“Why?” I asked seriously, he looked at me and cleared his throat.
“About the company, Amelia… I decided that Chelsey will inherit the company,” he said while looking at me.
I can’t speak because of what I heard, the company… Will not be mine? But he told me before that I will inherit the company, so why now suddenly something new?
“B-but why?” I said and my voice cracks.
“Mike and Chelsey are engaged and when Chelsey inherits the company, the company will be more successful,” he said while looking at my eyes. “I told you about this before, right? Mike’s company will help our company a lot when you get married but you choose to divorce him.”
“But how about me? What will I inherit?” I asked. I can’t believe that this is happening! I’m his real daughter, but why is this happening to me?
“This mansion and 20 percent shares of the company,” he answered. “Don’t complain anymore, it’s good that you can get some of my property,” he added and that broke me.
Since I was a child, I used to imagine myself in my father’s company, but now it turns out that I will not inherit the company, but my step sister.
How will mom feel if she finds out? I should inherit that company and not Chelsey.
I tried to be happy even though I was really not happy because I didn’t want Aria and Caleb to see me sad now that I was driving to their school to pick them up because they class is over.
I quickly park and get out of the car to look for them, but all the students are already out but I still can’t see Aria and Caleb.
I started to panic and went to their room but I found it already closed.
“Fuck,” I whispered because I was panicking.
“Ms. Salvador?”
I turned my back and saw the principal of the school.
“Mrs. Dela Cruz, I was looking for Aria and Caleb but their room is already closed and it looks like all the students are out,” I said nervously. “I’m worried now! I don’t know where to find them,” I added.
“Oh! Someone picked them up, he said he is the father of Aria and Caleb,” the principal said and my whole body froze in shock because of what I heard. “He’s Chase Santiago.”
I quickly left in front of her and left the school, got into my car and started it.
He’s a fucking Santiago? Damn!
How did he know about Caleb and Aria?! Is it because of Caleb’s participation in that contest?! Damn him! The gut of him to go to school and take my children!
I know the company of Santiago so I quickly drove there. I gripped the steering wheel tightly because I felt so angry.
I know I’m not ready to see that man because of what he did to me but I won’t let him take Aria and Caleb from me! They’re the reason why I’m still here! I should’ve killed myself already because of depression but when I found out I’m pregnant, I stopped doing that.
When I got to his company, I quickly entered but was immediately blocked by the guards.
“What?! Let me in!” I screamed angrily so people looked at us but I didn’t care. I want to get my twins now! I don’t want them to get near that demon!
“Ma’am, show us your ID first before we let you in,” said the guard and I completely exploded with anger at what I heard.
“That’s bullshit! Chase Santiago kidnapped my children, I’m here to get my children so let me in!” I shouted angrily and I pushed the guard and quickly entered, I quickly took the elevator so they wouldn’t catch me.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Hey, what floor is Chase Santiago’s office?” I asked the woman I was with in the elevator and she responded quickly to what I said and I pressed the floor number she said, I was breathing fast because of the anger I felt.
When the elevator opened, I quickly found Chase Santiago’s office because there was a CEO office next to the door.
I knocked hard and I almost broke the door because I didn’t knock hard just once.
The door opened and the demonic man who took my dignity 5 years ago appeared before me.
I quickly slapped him hard. “Where the hell are my twins?!” I shouted at him angrily.
He grabbed his slapped cheek before answering me. “They’re hanging out with my secretary next door,” he said in a baritone.
So I quickly went next door and my angry heart seemed to calm down when I saw Aria and Caleb playing with what he said was his secretary.
Aria was the first to see me. “Caleb, mom’s here!” she said so Caleb turned to me, I quickly approached him.
“How are you? I was worried because I didn’t know where you went,” I said and I could feel my tears fall but I didn’t care. I quickly hugged them both.
“Mom, we’re sorry.” Aria said.
“It’s okay just don’t do it again, I feel like I’m going to die if I lose you too,” my voice cracked.
“Mom, we already found our dad. . .”
I stopped Caleb said, I let go of their hug and looked at Caleb. He also looked at me and smiled a little.
“We like him, mom. Dad is so nice,” Caleb said and I felt like I was deafened by what I heard.
This is what I fear the most in my life, for my children to meet their father.
