Chapter 43

Third Person POV

Pagkapasok nila Amelie at Steven sa loob ng conference room ay bumungad sa kanila si Matti na kausap ang abogadong si Attorney Hero Bareras.

The two walk towards Matti and Atty. Bareras who's now sitting on the end of the table.

Amelie sat next to Steven because he kepr on holding her hands tightly.

"What's this?" tanong ni Amelie kay Matti.

"I don't have any idea, Amelie. Steven! Ano ba'to? Bakit anndito pa si Bareras?"

Steven stay still and motioned Attorney Hero Bareras to start.

"So Amelie. Hi!" bati ni Hero kay Amelie na ngumiti lang ng bahagya.

"Go to the damn point of this meeting, Bareras!" Steven's dark aura become more darker when hero greeted Amelie.

"Ehem! We are gathered here today to discuss the custody of Lana Azarea and Philip Steen King." Hero said and bring out a folder of evidences.

"Come again?" Amelie seemed like she didn't understand a thing that Hero said.

"I'm going to ask for the custody of 'My Childrens' I'll do that legally." Steven answered.

Amelie pulled her hands off from Steven's hands.

"Are you nuts!? They're my childrens!" she shouted and push Steven.

Steven stood up and grabbed her hands to get the ring she buyed in France.

"This ring... You fake it all!" Steven throw the silver-gold ring somewhere inside the room.

"Are you insane!? That's my engagement ring!"

Amelie kept on removing the strong hands of Steven.

"Really, huh?!" Steven smirked at Amelie and let go of her hands. " Tell me, who's the father of the kids if Jezkiel's DNA Test with them is negative!?"

"So anong ganap ko dito? Taganuod nyo?" iritablemg sagot ni Matti bago tumayo at akmang lalabas na ito ng pinto ng magsalita si Steven.

"You knew it Matt. I know you knew about this, but you didn't tell me that I have a child! How could you do this to me?!" Steven asked and Matti look at him with amazement.

"I knew it? Yeah. Mrs. Cruz and I is with Amelie in the hospital when she bleed and thanks God! Because those kids are strong enough to survive without their stubborn asshole father! I just want to protect my little sister Amelie and those kids from you." Matti confesed and walk towards them."And that time I realize that we did a good thing and that is not telling you, because we know that if you knew about it you won't let go of Amelie. Itatali mo na naman sya muli sayo at sisirain lalo ang buhay nya, but thanks to Jezkiel cauz' the Amelie we knew is gone now. Look at her Steve! Hindi na sya magpapaloko sayo." dugtong pa nito bago niyakap si Amelie at umalis.

"They knew about it." Amelie murmured that made Steven to look at her.

"And now I knew about this. I want the full custody of the kids and if you want me to reconsider my decision you better ask for my conditions on changing my decision." Steven said and left Amelie with Hero.

"I guess you need to sign here Amelie." Hero said and pass her the papers for the custody.

"If you didn't sign that. The court together with the DSWD and Steven will come for your childrens to get them. You still have a choice, either to sign that and give up the full custody or ask Steven's conditions to reconsider his decision."

"What if his condition is favorable to him only?" Amelie asked as she sat down onthe swivel chair.

"Just remember that when you give condition it will always be favorable to you. Kahit kailan ay hindi naging mas pabor sa kalaban ang kundisyon na ikaw ang magbibigay, laging sayo." sagot nito bago tumayo at dalhin ang briefcase palabas ng opisina.

Amelie is left alone inside the room. She's still thinking of her childrens.

What will she choose?
