"I already told you to let him go. Look what happened to you," Vincent preached to Romana as he treated the scratch on her face.Her lips twitched."It was nothing compared to Laila's wounds," she uttered.She examined Vincent's reaction but he wasn't affected at all."Aren't you worried about your wife?" she asked again.She wanted to make sure he had no love left for the woman. He put down the cotton with alcohol he was holding and then looked at her enormously."Can we prevent chit chatting about her? My head heats up every time I hear her name.""Why? Is it because she cheated on you? Did she step on your ego? Or did you get hurt because you still love her?"She glanced straight into his eyes. She wanted to see the innermost part of the man's heart."None of those are my answers. I'm infuriated because I'm determined to leave you for her and her child even though I know I'll hurt you.Also, I don't want my child to live without a father, and furthermore told myself that you can li
Romana successfully sent the divorce papers to both sides. Laila and Vincent didn't know that she was the one who's behind it."Laila ... Vincent sent you something."Laila took the envelope from Tristan's hand. Her hands were trembling as she opened the thing."D-Divorce paper ...'" she stuttered."H-He didn't even ask my situation and how's the baby after he hurts me? I-Is this more important than our lives?"She wept again because of her bitterness. She thought of her lost baby again."Stop it... Let the one above punish people like them," Tristan irritably sounded.Although what happened to Laila was tragic, in Tristan's mind it was better that it took place. At least she was freed from a useless marriage. She got rid of a man who valued sex and money more.Laila took her pen from the front of her table and then signed the document. She was tired of chasing the man who did nothing but hurt her.After signing, she passed the paper to Tristan again. "Please, return that to him," she
"The patient's vital signs are stable. Let's just wait for her to recover consciousness."Tristan sat down in the empty seat. He looked up, shut his eyes, and afterward, he prayed silently."My God, thank you so much. You did not leave Laila behind ""I am glad that you are here for Laila! Her beast husband left her! After he found his fatty sugar mommy, he didn't come back to their house. That Vincent is a nightmare!"Aunt Cora was next to him. The old woman was still whining about what happened. She blames no one but Vincent. She cussed the man for what he did to Laila.He came into the room where Laila was. She is still unconscious."I am expecting that this is the last time I will see you lying in that bed. It was unbearable to see your life wrecked because of me. May the unpleasant memories be wiped off from your mind," he whispered to the sleeping woman.He stroked her long hair and then gave the girl a light kiss on the forehead.After a few hours of vigilance, he notified the
"Y-Yes, V-Vincent! I will marry you!" she tearfully responded to the man.Her workers came into her office one by one. They are all keeping a red rose.Vincent stood up to place the ring on her finger and after that, he supported her towards the middle of her workroom.The employees approached her one by one to hand over the roses they were holding."Congratulations, Miss Lichauco!" greeting from her secretary with a smile on her lips."Thank you!"Every time she accepts roses, she also receives congratulations from them.She never dreamed of getting married. She has no intention to be bound to a man because that is contrary to her perspectives on life.For her, love is just like venom that can destroy the whole disposition of whoever feels it.But all those assumptions were changed because of Vincent. The man made her feel that even though she is not ideal, she has the right to be loved and cared for.A bunch of applause brought her back to reality. Vincent hugged her tight and then
"What's wrong?"Vincent cupped her small face in his palms."Tell me . . . What's disturbing you?"Romana swallowed several times. She can't figure out if she should inform Vincent of what she saw or just keep it to herself. But no matter what, he will see and see the girl because she's with Roman now."L-Laila . . . L-Laila is here . . . " In the end, she spoke out about what she was afraid of.The man's expression abruptly changed. His previously calm face was tarnished with anger. His perfect jaw clenched after he heard the name of his ex-wife."I assure you that she can't interrupt our wedding. Trust me . . . Don't mind her! This day is our nuptials. This day is the most important event in our lives so don't be affected by that woman's existence!" Vincent whispered.She nodded. Again, they faced the priest. He recited the question and this time, Romana dared to answer."I do, Father.""If anyone knows why this couple should not be lawfully joined in marriage, speak now or forever
"H-He used to be my buddy. B-But Romana came into his life that's why my friend became my ex-friend. U-Until now, I still have a grudge against him, Babe!"Romana let out an incredulous laugh at the woman's lie. She never thought that this bitch was so good at fooling people. She might have believed her if she didn't personally know her."W-Would it be possible for you to just forget the past, Romana? I don't want this to be the reason for us to fight. Right, Babe?"Lalaine embraced the man's waist and then she made a cute face."That was so childish, Babe. I won't be mad just because of that."Roman squeezed the bridge of Lalaine's nose. Romana rolled her eyes because of the sweetness they were showing in front of her.Meanwhile, Vincent can't figure out his feelings. He was upset. He didn't know where it was coming from. He is sick of Laila's affection given to Roman that she once did for him.Laila looks better now. Much better than before. Her former thin body has a shape now. Her
"A-Ah . . . " Lalaine smiled nervously at Roman and then she waved to Romana."H-Hi! S-Sorry, I got lost! Your place is so huge! I just wanted to pee, but I couldn't find your washroom! This path where my feet led me in my search!" Lalaine's reasons."Why didn't you ask me? I could come with you. There is a toilet downstairs. You shouldn't just step into someone else's room." Romana shot the woman with a scornful look from head to toe."S-Sorry again! B-Babe, join me downstairs! I-I haven't used the bathroom yet. There is someone inside so I can't pee either."Lalaine hastily wrapped her arm around Roman's arm and then she pulled the man down to the first floor.Romana's eyes narrowed as she entered their room. She had a bad feeling about Laila's actions. She groped for the light switch on the wall and immediately the surroundings lit up as she pressed it. Just as Vincent came out of the washroom."M-Mommy? S-Sorry, I didn't make it to come back downstairs. I got dizzy because of the
"The beauty of the place hasn't changed. I am so delighted that we have the luck to come back here."Romana clutched her husband's arm while watching over the surroundings. The golden sand and blue sea are really lovely. She will never lose her interest to come back here."H-Have you already visited this place?" Lalaine asked them."Yes, Babe. They came here a year ago," Roman answered back to his girlfriend."You hung around here for a week if I am not mistaken, right?" Roman turned to her.Reluctantly, she smiled and nodded at her brother."You two are so adorable. I never thought you loved spending time together."She can't foresee if the smiles she sees on Lalaine's lips are real or just a delusion. Even if the world turned upside down, the fact that Vincent and Romana are the reasons why she suffered a lot. That is why it is so hard for Romana to believe that Lalaine would be this kind to them.They reached the hotel where they were going to stay which was also owned by Roman. Th
