WHEN they arrived at Beatrice's house, she opened the door with a furious look on her face.

"How dare you bring her here, Kellan?!" she pointed her finger at her. Gaelle held onto Kellan's arm because Beatrice looked like she would harm her. She looked like a tigress that would attack her any moment because of so much anger.

"Is there any problem that I brought her here? Of course, she's my fiancée that's why she's with me" irritation was obvious in Kellan's tone. She could see how his eyes squinted in anger but he was just trying his best not to explode even though Beatrice was already getting on his nerves.

Beatrice crossed her arms across her chest and glared at her.

"You really have a thick face showing yourself to me and you even have the audacity of coming to my house, huh? After you stole the man that I've been loving for so long, now you're planning on stealing my spot on Kellan and our son's life?" Gaelle's eyebrows knitted together. She looked at Beatrice in disbelief.

"What? The last time I checked, I've never stole anything from you. Ever since then until now, I can't recall stealing even a single thing from you so don't you ever accuse me of doing such thing to you. If there's someone who's thick-faced here, that's you. After everything that you did to me, you still have the guts to get mad at me and even have the audacity of accusing me of things that I've never committed? My gosh! The world already turned upside down" she couldn't help but to raise her voice a little bit and be sarcastic because of all the things she was blabbering about. It was enough to cause her blood to boil in rage.

Beatrice's eyes turned into slits upon hearing what her answer.

"Kellan and I already met when we were still young. I've loved him ever since then but when you came into the picture, everything suddenly became mess up. You stole his attention which was rightfully mine from the beginning! I came into his life way before you did that's why if there's someone who stole everything away from me and messed everything up, it's none other than you! Get---"

"That's enough, Beatrice" Kellan's voice was low but he uttered every word firmly. His jaw was clenching tightly and it wasn't hard to tell that Beatrice was really beginning to piss him off big time.

Beatrice was about to retaliate but Kellan spoke once again.

"You should be ashamed of Brett. Is this the kind of attitude that you want to teach to him? You should set a good example to your own son"

"Our son, Kellan! Don't ever refer him as my son only because he's our son. Remember that!" she hissed angrily before she called Brett's nanny and instructed her to bring the child upstairs. The moment that they were out of their sight, Beatrice shifted her gaze back to Kellan.

"I need to talk to you. Alone" she said to him before she throw Gaelle a sharp glare. She didn't even say anything to her to ask for her permission! Her tone indicating as if she has all the right to Kellan and Gaelle didn't like it. She could take whatever word she would throw at her but Beatrice shouldn't test her patience to its extent because she wouldn't hesitate to fight back whatever happens. Kellan is hers and hers alone!

"Whatever you want to tell to my boyfriend, you should say it in front of me" Gaelle couldn't hold back herself and said that with a determined voice. Kellan threw her a glance and then put his arm over her shoulders and then pulled her closer to him.

"Yes, Gaelle is right. Whatever you want to tell me, you should say it to the both of us" Beatrice's jaw clenched.

"I can't let an outsider hear whatever I want to discuss with you because it's about our son" she answered firmly. Kellan's eyebrows knitted even more because of her answer.

"Will you cut it out, Beatrice? Gaelle is not an outsider because she will become my wife soon. She has every right to hear whatever you want to tell me. She will be Brett's second mother soon that's why it's just right that we should include her in everything that we need to tackle about Brett" Beatrice glared at her once again and even though she wasn't comfortable of the way she was staring at her, she bravely met her glaring eyes. She would defend herself from her no matter what happens.

"What? What do you mean by that, Kellan? You're going to make this woman a second mother to your son? No! I would never let that happen!" she was almost yelling already.

"I am not asking for your approval, Beatrice. I am just merely telling you what will happen in the near future. If you don't want it then I can't do anything about that" Beatrice looked like she was going to burst into tears any moment now because of what Kellan said. Gaelle felt a pinch in her heart seeing her like that.

She knew how much Beatrice loves Kellan and she could see that in her eyes everytime she looks at him. She knew that she's hurting right at that moment because of what's happening. Beatrice couldn't accept that Gaelle was the reason why she couldn't get Kellan for herself that's why she hated her so much.

But her feelings towards Kellan was selfish because she doesn't know how to accept defeat or when to give up which she should've done long time ago. They always say that if you love someone, set them free. But it looked like that wasn't in her vocabulary.

"I also want to tell you that I didn't like what you did earlier. This day was supposed to be my time with my son but you suddenly called me out of the blue and told me that you're taking back your decision of allowing Brett to be with me. You agreed that Brett would be staying with me during Saturdays and Sundays that's why I am expecting you to honor your words. I hope that you will not do this again" Beatrice shook her head as if she didn't like everything that Kellan just said.

Her lips opened and was about to answer when they heard the doorbell buzz.

They glanced at the direction of the door. Beatrice opened the door right away. But everyone of them got surprised when they saw who was outside the door. It was the guy they saw at the resort earlier today.

"What the hell are you doing here again? Haven't I told you not to show your face here ever again? I told you to stop coming here because you will not gain anything by coming here!" Beatrice yelled almost hysterically to the man. She looked at their direction and panic was written all over her face. She became restless and it was obvious that she was scared over something.

"You know that I didn't agree to what you said" the guy answered emotionlessly. He looked passed Beatrice and when he saw her and Kellan, he entered the house without waiting for Beatrice to let him in.

"Damn you! I already told you that you're not allowed here! Get out!"

"Shut up, Bea, if you don't want me to tell them the thing that you don't want them to discover. Even though you don't want to admit it, I can feel that my suspicion from the beginning was right" his voice sounded calm but his expression was telling the opposite. He looked ominous but obviously trying his best to stay as calm as possible.

Beatrice suddenly looked like a kitten who got trapped by a barking dog. She suddenly went silent. The anger on her face was evident but the fear was more obvious. Why is she afraid? What is she afraid about? Gaelle asked herself inwardly.

Gaelle was surprised when Kellan let go of her and then sauntered towards the guy. Their gaze met like they were measuring each other's strength.

"If you don't mind me asking, who are you really?" Kellan asked him.

"I am Luis Romero and just like I've mentioned before, we already met three years ago" because of what the guy said, she felt like a tape suddenly replayed in her mind and showed her the time when she first met him. Now she finally understood why he looked familiar. He was the man who tried to make a pass on her but Kellan stopped his advances by punching him.

He looked way different now compared to three years ago. He had a long hair before, he was on the thin side and looked arrogant. But now, he was always wearing a serious face and he has a buzz cut hairstyle. His built became bigger and muscular. Based on his physical looks and the way he talks, it looked like he finally turned serious in life now.

"Now I know why you look familiar because you were one of Beatrice's guests on her birthday three years ago. Tell me, what are you doing here, if you don't mind me asking? Beatrice looks like she's threatened by your presence here. I just don't want my son to get involve in whatever issue you have with each other" Kellan's expression was serious while saying that.

Beatrice approached them quickly before Luis could even answer.

"Don't mind him, Kellan. He's just a good for nothing guy who doesn't know how to accept defeat"

"You know very well that that's not true, Bea" Luis retaliated with a firm voice and then shifted his eyes back to Kellan.

"Don't worry. I won't do anything bad to Brett and Bea. In fact, I'm here to do the opposite. I just want to know the truth and---"

"I already told you everything that you want to know. You won't gain anything by coming here because no matter what happens, the fact still remains that you have nothing that belongs to you here" Luis' eyes squinted in anger because of what Beatrice said. His jaw tightened in rage.

"If you don't mind, can you leave us alone for now? I just want to discuss something important with Bea in private" Luis said to her and Kellan. Gaelle looked at Kellan and nodded her head as an agreement to what Luis said.

"Okay. But make sure that you will not cause any trouble here because I don't want Brett to witness anyone fighting. He would get scared for sure" Kellan reminded them. Beatrice was about to speak when Luis spoke ahead of her.

"Just like what I've said a while ago, there won't be any fight that will happen because I just want to talk and fix everything" Kellan nodded his head as he took her hand and then said goodbye to them. He guided her towards the door after that. Gaelle said goodbye to them even though she felt awkward with the situation.

"WHAT DO you think of Luis' intention why he's at Beatrice's place, chéri?" Gaelle couldn't stop herself from asking Kellan while they were on their way home. He heaved a sigh.

"I have no idea. I hope that he's not going to bring any trouble there"

"I hope so. But I'm just wondering why Beatrice looked like she was trying to restrain Luis from saying anything earlier" Kellan gave her a quick glance.

"What do you mean by that?" he asked her before his attention went back to driving again. She shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know. I feel like something was off. I feel like Beatrice was trying to get rid of Luis so that he wouldn't have the chance to talk to the both of us. Didn't you see the look on Beatrice's face when Luis arrived in her house and then talked to you? She was panicking and I don't understand why".

"I noticed that too but I have a feeling that those two have a personal issue that's why they were behaving oddly like that" even though Gaelle has another idea on her mind, she just chose to keep quiet and not tell Kellan about her suspicion. She doesn't have enough evidence and her suspicion was baseless but she could really feel it in her gut that something strange was going on there. She knew that Kellan would get hurt if she would tell him what's on her mind right now so she just kept quiet.

"You're quiet all of a sudden. Is something wrong, chérie?" there was a tinge of worry in his stone. Gaelle forced a smile.

"Nothing. I'm fine. I'm just thinking about something but it's not that important"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course" He smiled at her and then continued driving.

THREE days after that day, everything was calm and went back to normal. Kellan calls Brett everyday in order to hear get updated of what's going on with his son and everything seems fine that's why Kellan finally went at ease. He had been suspicious about Luis' real purpose and he was worried that he might do something to Brett. Gaelle chose to just erase whatever suspicion she has of Beatrice in order to avoid any more misunderstanding. She didn't want to jump into conclusion either.

That morning, Kellan woke her up with his sweet kisses. She slowly opened her eyes.

"Good morning, chérie. Sorry, I woke you up" he said while smiling at her. A sweet smile automatically stretched her lips. It really felt good to see his handsome face early in the morning. Her day was already complete.

"Good morning too, chéri. Are you going to work now?" she asked as she raked him a stare. But she was surprised when she noticed that he was just wearing his normal home-clothes whenever he's at home.

"Why aren't you wearing your office suit yet? Today's Wednesday, isn't it? You have work today, right?" she barraged him a couple of questions. He chuckled in amusement as he snaked his arm around her waist and then buried his face on the crook of her neck.

"I won't be working today. I want to spend this day with you, chérie" happiness rose in her heart.

"R-Really? You're not playing with me, right?" excitement and happiness were written all over her face. He rained kisses on her neck and heat instantly engulfed her whole body.

"Of course. Where do you want to go today, hmmm?" he asked as he continued what he was doing. She bit her bottom lip in order to restrain the seductive moan from escaping her lips.

"I was planning on going with Manang Thelma to the grocery store today but since you're not going to work, we'll be doing the shopping together instead"

"Is that the only thing you want to do today?" he questioned her huskily as he slipped his hand inside her pajama top and then alternately played with her breasts.

"Ohh, Kellan. Don't tease me" she couldn't stop herself from moaning as she closed her eyes. She could hear his faint but playful laugh and he sounded so sexy!

"Let's shower together, chérie?" he asked in a seductive tone. He was still playing with her breasts and it's already making her wet down there. She couldn't do anything other than to agree to his suggestion. He removed their clothes in a jiffy and then carried her onto his arms towards the bathroom.

Later on, the sound of the shower accompanied by the sounds of their lovemaking were the only things that could be heard inside the shower room.

AFTER they got dressed up, they ate their breakfast together. Jillian and their mother already left before they even went downstairs because they need to be at the hospital and school early.

After eating their breakfast, they went out of the house then got inside the car and drove to the mall. They were planning to buy groceries there and then would stroll around the area after that.

They were busy buying some stuff for the house when Gaelle remembered something. She forgot to take a body soap that she's using for herself. They already passed the past lane where soaps were displayed so she didn't have a choice but to go back.

"Chéri, I need to go back to get a body soap. I forgot" she informed Kellan.

"Let me get it for you. Just stay here and wait for me" he was about to go when she stopped him.

"Aren't you going to ask me first what brand is it?" she teased. He gave her a lopsided grin.

"No need, chérie. I know what kind of body soap you're using. I make sure to know even the littlest things about you, you know" he said and then winked at her.

"Just wait for me here. I'll be quick" he said and then left her there.

While she was waiting for him, she took her cellphone out from her bag and then checked her FB account. She was busy of what she was doing when she heard someone spoke from behind her.

"Are you sure about that, man? Beatrice might sue you if she discovers about what you did" one of the men said. Gaelle turned around and furtively glanced at the two men who were busy talking. She got surprised when she saw Luis. Their backs were facing her direction so they weren't aware of her presence behind them.

"I don't care. I just did that in order to gain a solid proof of my suspicion and guess what I've discovered? I was right all along"

"What?! The kid is really yours?!" the other guy asked in shock.

"Yes, man. Now, Bea can't insist to me anymore that Brett isn't my son because I already have the result of our DNA test. If she will sue me for taking Brett's DNA without her knowledge, I won't stop her. It's my right to know the truth and I'm glad I did it because the child is mine all along" Gaelle felt like she got rooted on her feet in disbelief because of what she heard.

Oh, my God! I was right all along...

****

The cat's out of the bag! 

Did it even occur to you guys that Brett isn't Kellan's son?
