“Aunty, I heard that the Chang family are looking for a girl,” Graciela terrified voice echoes as she looks deeply into her mother eyes.
Avala rolled her eyes as she continues on fixing her make up. “So what do I care? We have cancelled the marriage so they have nothing to do with us!”
She groans. “But aunty...I heard that the Chang's are no ordinary clan in the capital. I'm afraid that we provoked him by cancelling the marriage. If we can find the girl for them, they will surely be grateful to them!” she persuades are mother.
Avala smirks as she slowly puts down her lipstick. “You are right! The Chang's are a great backer. I'll send someone to investigate it soon!”
Graciela smiles as she quickly hugs her mother. “You are the best aunty! So not only do I have to marry that sick man but also we go a backer! One stone kills two bird.”

DELLUCCI'S MANSIONAdonis Dellucci Pov“You married that dark skinned Balboa girl?” my Nonno yells angrily as he slams his arm to his desk in a swoosh. “How can your marriage be so ridiculous!” he adds in harsh breath.I rolled my eyes looking at the most unamazing grandfather ever. “Pops, that's not even the most ridiculous thing. If you have to put up a show, I don't mind being more ridiculous!”His grandfather yells as he stands up looking at Adonis who sat down with arm crossed.“What do you mean by that?

So don't bring your bad habits there,” the mockery was so plain in his Voice.I rolled my eyes playfully as I murmur. “Blah blah... Bad habit!”He turns at me seriously. “This is for your own good, Caitrona,”I felt a little bit uneasy, that uneasy feeling that make you sick.

You're a pig in human body!”How can someone be so straight forward with every word of his mouth? I hate him so damn much. Gosh.I grumbles immediatdiately. “And how is that my fault? You were the one who kept on feeding me nonstop. How can I reject so much food?” I frown, looking all cute when angry with my arm to my chest.He gets up with a sniff. “You will surely make my blood pressure raise someday so I am prepared because if I die from your loud voice, you

Turning around with full force with his hand pointing to Lagatha who was sitting closer to her mother in the couch.“You...what did you do to Adonis Dellucci? He pulled his investment in the company,”Signora Apollinaris groans back, holding Lagatha's shoulders who was crying. “Don't lecture her, she's not a child but an adult.
