Chapter 55 Chapter 55 - Letting Go

How can I leave without my child? Another sacrifice of a mother. I have to stay here while we have not fixed everything yet.
"Love, I am sorry about last night!" When Nicks came over and hugged me from behind.
"I am sorry too. You are startling me with your decisions. But you are right! You are entitled to Nicka. I am just her surrogate mother. And you are the real father." I turned slightly.
"Do not say that! You are her Mommy." And he bussed my hair.
Why does my heart soften so fast when it comes to him? He did nothing but make me feel that I am important, that he loves me.
"Eve, Nativis sent this for you! They gave you a lot of new products!" At once Ella reached for the paper bag.
"Wow! I will share it with you and with Sittie and Lara." I smiled in response.
"Looks like you harmonized with Sir Nikolai!" Ella guessed.
"I cannot fight with him for a long duration. You know me!" I shook.
"Of course, you love him. Eve, thank you! I know you told Sir Nikolai to make me a regular employee here at work. That means everything to me!" she grabbed my hand.
"Really? Did you sign your contract? Wow! I am so happy for you, Ella!" I tapped her hand.
"Let us do a double-date tonight. I will take Nathan with me. Invite Sir Nikolai so we could celebrate." Ella proclaimed.
I agreed. Nikolai and I haven't been out in a long time. I went to his office.
"Love, Ella wishes to celebrate her regularization tonight." My introduction.
"Are you coming?" While he was involved in what he is doing.
"Let's go! Nathan will come with her too." I added.
"I cannot come with you, Love! I have a business meeting with Mr. Chin. He is only available tonight at seven.
Let us go on a date some other time!" He glanced at me and smirked.
"Okay! We have not dated for a long time." I stood up and moved toward him.
"Eve Lopez is my date. The well-known host of Love Hotline. We have no privacy." he grinned.
"We can always date privately! All right, my love is too occupied. I will go down!" I let go of him.
"Kiss me before you go out of my sight!" Nicks murmured.
He looked up. Then turn a blind eye. I smooched him on the lips. His kiss is always the sweetest!
I will not get tired of kissing her.
Instead, the four of us go on a date, Ella, me, and Luigi continued to celebrate.
Nathan is also busy.
"Guys, I have great news!" Luigi let out.
"What is that?" I inquired.
"She is my girlfriend now!" he announced.
"Wow! That is great. Let us cheers to that!" Ella requested.
We ordered drinks. But we had no intention of getting drunk. It is funny that we have both all found the ones we love.
Our conversations have leveled up. We are now talking about the future with our loved ones.
We met at a hotel. I have to be careful. I also do not want to disturb my friends.
We just want to enjoy our celebration. Before no one pays attention to me. It is different now!
Having a boyfriend who is the CEO of TvN8 Station made me even more distinguished.
"Let us hide!" Ella mumbled suddenly.
"Why, Ella?" I instantly questioned.
She forced my head. Luigi looks down as well.
"Why?" Luigi also inquired.
"That is Sir Nikolai, right?" Ella mumbled softly.
I looked in the direction she was looking.
"Yes, it is Nikolai! Probably this is the venue of his meeting with Mr. Chin!" I announced.
Nicks sat down at a table away from us. I would have approached him first when abruptly someone came.
The woman kissed him.
"Mr. Chin supposed to be a man," Ella exclaimed.
"Perhaps she is Mr. Chin's wife!" Luigi declared.
"No! She is Luna!" I whispered.
"Oh yeah, Luna of Her-shoe Factory." Ella's recognition.
They were just talking. But why did they meet in a hotel?
He said he had a meeting with Mr. Chin. And suddenly they stood up together. They headed for the stairs. Rooms are upstairs. Why would they go up there?
"EVe, let us just go home!" Ella invited me.
"I will not do anything, Ella! I will just follow them." And I stood up too.
They laugh as they wander. I could not understand what they were talking about because I could not get too close to them.
They turned right. I stopped and peeked first. They ended at the door of a VIP Suite. I cannot understand how I feel.
I peeked again. Nikolai leaned against the door. Luna is in front of him. Luna looked up at him as their eyes widened.
Luna claimed Nikolai's lips. I closed my eyes and leaned against the wall where I was standing.
They are kissing. He betrayed me! And everything Luna said was right. He is with me because of Nicka. Just because he has another agenda. And for no other reason.
The person who loves will not cheat and lie to the person he loves. He will be satisfied.
I felt my chest tighten. I could not stop myself from crying.
I will deal with them. But I do not see them anymore. They entered the room already. And they are probably starting to harbor previously suppressed emotions.
I am perishing! But I still have to deal with Nikolai after this instance. I should not expose it to Ella and Luigi.
I do not want them to know what Nikolai did to me. I still do not know what to do.
"What happened?" Luigi begged.
"I did not catch up with them. I guess the venue of their meeting is upstairs." I forced a smile.
"Are you sure? Are you okay?" Ella's assurance.
"Of course. Come on, let us go home. Mommy Vina called, Nicka is crying." I cannot seem to hold back my tears.
I hurried into the room when I reached the mansion.
"You lied to me! You are good at making up stories. You should be the actor, Nikolai! You are so terrible!" As I lay on the bed.
I cried and cried to ease the distress. I cannot go back to the scene where Luna and Nikolai were kissing.
I might be surprised one day when they say they are getting married. Particularly, when he had already transferred Nicka's name to him.
He cheated on me! I fixed myself. I cannot wait for him to make me his knickknack. I went to Nicka.
"Baby." My introduction.
"Mommy, I am playing. Let us play!" And she reached for my hand.
"Nicka, are you happy here? With your Daddy and your Grannies?" I sat down next to her.
"Yes! I am super happy. They are all kind to me." As she combed the barbie doll.
"Because Mommy has to take a vacation first. Is it okay to leave you here?
After all, they are with you." I put my arm around her.
"How long?" she looked at me.
"Just a few days." My answer.
"Just come home quickly. Are you with Daddy?" she begged.
"I am alone," I mumbled.
I have to leave. I do not want to torture Nikolai anymore. I do not want to force myself to him just because I am the surrogate mother of his child.
Perhaps, he is also right that he needs to have his way of raising his child. I love Nicka so much, Nicka knows that!
And I do not want her to be separated from me. But now that she is with her family, this might be the right thing to do.
I will leave Nicka with her family. I will let Nikolai be happy. I will let them be a whole family with Luna.
This suffering may not come to an end but I have to go on! Letting go of the person you love does not mean giving up. You will give up because you know you are not the one who can make him happy.
I arranged my belongings. I cannot say goodbye to Mommy Vina and Daddy Ramon. Because I definitely cannot make them believe my lies.
I got out easily because they were already in the room. Nanny Myrna also took Nicka to her grandparents.
I do not know where I am going. But it is not possible in my house because I can be easily found.
It is up to where my destiny takes me. I had to disguise myself first so that people would not notice me.
I checked in first while I was still thinking about what I would do.
I need to get away. I cannot bear to hear from Nikolai the fact that Luna is the woman for him.
They both come from wealthy families. It has been a long time coming. They already know each other very well.
I am not a coward for letting Nikolai go. I am bold for letting him be with the person he loves.
