Somebody Else's

It's been 30 minutes since I got here to church but until now I still haven't gotten out of my car. I'm just scared because I feel that I don't deserve to be here every time that I will remember what I did to my Dad.

~ Flashback ~

I immediately head to Felix when I heard the sound of his car engine approaching.

"How's Dad?"

He looked at me with worry and hesitation. He sighed and pulled me closer to him to hug me. "He's in a coma."

I lost my strength when his words finally registered to my brain... he's in a coma because of me. "I want to visit him," I weakly said. He hugged me tighter.

"I don't think that idea is good. Your mommy was very angry earlier because of what happened to your Dad. She even fainted because of the anger she felt. Just rest here first. I know you are tired. Because... I m too. I am very tired of waiting for you, I am tired of lying..."

My lids automatically get heavy when Felix told me to rest. I leaned my head to his chest. I know he said something else after but I did not bother to ask what it was because my drowsiness and tiredness immediately pulled me to sleep.

~ End of Flashback ~

Nothing will happen if I let my conscience and guilt stop me from doing the right thing. I got out of the car and went inside.

"Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been just weeks since my last confession but even so, I already committed a serious sin. It's--." I bit my lower lip to stop myself from crying.

"It's my fault so my Dad is in the hospital now. I almost killed him. My parents want to have grandchildren-" I heard the priest gasp.

"-But I refused because I do not love my husband. I refused. Maybe that's the reason why Dad had a heart attack. If I only knew that my stubbornness would result in this mess then I would have just agreed." The priest took a deep breath as if calming himself.

"I know you are wondering why did I marry him if I do not love him. I'm sorry. My parents asked me to marry him so that our company would not go bankrupt. But..." I smiled bitterly

"That is not my worst sin yet. My worst was when I fell for a priest and I came to the point where I almost stopped him from treading the best path."

Silence. The priest did not speak for a minute. I tried to look at him to see if something's wrong but I can not see his face. "Father, can I ask for advice?"

I walked out of the confession room but I was surprised to see Asher crying while facing a woman.

I immediately approached the child and wiped the tears from his eyes.

"Are you the mother of this stupid child?"

I immediately frowned at what I heard. I took a deep breath to calm myself. Oh God, I just came from the confession room, don't tell me I'll be back there again cause I might not be able to stop myself from slapping this woman.

"But it's impossible for you to be his mother. Based on the way you dress, you look rich. Or maybe those are fake?"

"Yes, I am his mother. Did my son do anything bad to you for you to react like that towards him?"

"If you are his mother, it just means that your clothes are fake because look at your son's clothes!" She looked at Asher from head to toe which makes me want to commit another sin. "Obviously cheap."

"Just tell me what my son did," I said with a hint of seriousness in my voice. I can't just let her trample my son's personality especially in front of the church and in front of the crowd whose silently watching us.

"She dares to fight with the governor's girl."

"She will surely kneel and kiss the feet of the Gov's girl a few days later."

The woman in front of us grinned when she heard people talking about how powerful she is. "Your son just stained my clothes with his milk. He's even too old to drink milk." I glared at her because she not only insulted Asher but also me.

"I'm sure he didn't mean that."

"It doesn't matter whether he means that or not 'cause that won't change the fact that my dress now is stained. I have a date today at an expensive restaurant! You have never experienced eating in such a fancy place so you will not understand me!"

I sighed. We were getting a lot of attention so I just give up. I do not want to cause trouble in front of the church. "Buy new clothes, I will pay." She laughed mockingly. "You? You're the one who's going to pay? Do you know how expensive the dress I am wearing right now?"

"Yeah, its Gucci but that dress is actually the cheapest I guess? I mean, I donated my dress like that because it is old. Actually, I gave that to Gov to donate to the street people. Looks like you're the one who gets the cheapest on my closet." I was surprised when someone spoke from behind me. Turning around I saw Adair wearing a Givenchy black mini dress, a Dolce and Gabbana oversized leather jacket, and a black Louis Vuitton knee-high boots with a black Chopard sunglasses on her eyes. She really loves to slay the day.

The woman opened her mouth in disbelief, starstruck to Adairs beauty.

"A-are you Adair Canali?"

"Yeah, and you're the-," she removes her glasses and looks at the woman from her feet to head. "-governors bitch to fuck, right?"

I, on the other hand, am now stunned. I think not only me but also Adair's fans and those curious people fell silent. Fortunately, people did not rush towards her because her bodyguards had already started blocking those who tried to approach their idol.

"Ah-ahm..." The woman laughed mockingly. "There is something wrong here. Why are you against me when this poor woman and his son, - "he pointed at me and Asher. "They are the ones who ruin my dress, look they stained me with milk! Just because they have never experienced wearing these kinds of dresses because the only ones they can buy are the fake ones! You should take my side because both of us are on top"

"You're right." Adair nodded while the woman smile triumphantly. "Angelie has never been able to wear such clothes because her parents will not allow the only Angelie Satterle Morgan-Ramirez to wear cheap things."

The woman's eyes widened as she looked at me. I can't blame her for not knowing me because every time that there are gatherings I don't go with my parents and all I do is go to the park to meet Nathan. Gatherings and parties are just not for me. I prefer to accompany my goods shipper than to plastic with people in fancy places.

And as if on cue Felix came out of his Lamborghini and immediately head to me as he snakes his arms to my waist.

"What's happening here?" He curiously looked around the crowd. Adair just shrugged while the woman earlier can't look at me anymore.

"Please do not fight in front of the church," Nathan said seriously but before he walks away he glanced at my waist where Felix's arm is placed. I remembered that he loves to hold my waist whenever guys are trying to approach me. He does that whenever he wanted to make the guy walk away but now... he's the one who walks away when he saw that somebody else's arm is placed on my waist.
