Estella, you can't do this to me. I believe in you. Please come back to me. I miss you already, and I can't live without you. I know you are scared and don't believe in yourself. But I do. I have faith in you and know that you are strong enough to face whatever has driven you away. Please come back to me, Estella. I am here for you, always. I love you, and I want you to come back to me. While Lucius's brain was filled with thoughts of where exactly he could find Estella- His phone rang. And it was from Kian. He immediately answered the call. "Kian? I'm sorry. I'll talk later, I have to find-" “I saw Estella walking along the street towards the van. It looked like they were about to get on. She's covered in a jacket, so she can't be recognized. Hurry up because someone might see her and cause trouble. It's like she's not herself. She doesn't look like herself.” He blows a frustrated breath. "Where? Can you check on her for me?" He stepped on the car's brake hard and quickly star
Lucius stared at Estella, who was fast asleep. He had been talking to her just now, and his words were steady because the person he was talking to was already sleeping. He shook his head in disbelief. He noticed something strange about that woman. He sighed. He slowly carried Estella and placed her on the long couch. She sat facing him, looking beautiful. He brought his face closer to the girl to get a closer look at her face. She is beautiful. He couldn't get enough of watching her. She looked like an angel. She was so innocent in his eyes. He could feel an overwhelming sense of love when he looked at her. He was blessed to have her in his life and would do anything to make her happy. He would always be there for her, no matter what the cost. He would always be her rock and her protector. He gently caressed her cheek with his hand. He sighed deeply once more. He plans on continuing the interview tomorrow, even if the management wants something different to happen. He will disobey
"I don't give a damn about her! Lucius, he's my son, and I will always care for and protect him." The lady said while looking at her with intense, unwavering eyes. "I'm just reminding you, hija. Stay away from Lucius." "Ma'am.." Estella called the lady in a whispering voice. "Forgive me, I didn't mean to-" "Not intentional?" The lady looked at her seriously. "If you're apologizing, the only way I can forgive you and not put you in prison for defamation is to get out of my son's life. Can you do that?" "Ma'am, I can't-" The lady was about to attack her when Lucius arrived. "Mom! Don't!" The young man used his body to block the lady's attack, protecting Estella from being hit. Sandra held the lady to calm her down while the young man protected Estella. Sandra asked Estella to step back, and the young man stepped aside. He was still standing between Estella and the lady, ready to protect her if the lady tried to attack again. Estella was trembling with fear and confusion. The lady
Estella braced herself and tried not to cry, but it was useless. "Sorry," she said, her voice breaking. "I know that you're struggling now because of me. You were able to disobey your mommy because of me, and you were able to let go of your dreams because of me. I hindered the good plan of your parents for you.." She cried because of the tears in her eyes and the lump in her throat. She tried to hide her feelings from the young man, but Lucius could see her sadness. His two hands caressed her face and gently wiped the tears from her eyes. "I'm so sorry," he said softly, eyes full of compassion. "Estella, you don't need to worry about those. I'll make the way clear." "No, I don't want to. I'm the source of all of your problems, so I should be the one to disappear from your life so you don't have to suffer through this anymore." The young man sighed heavily, then stared in disbelief into her eyes. "What do you want me to do?" "I want to fix this on my own. It's up to me to clean up
"Big nonsense! You’re such a liar! I don't believe you! Why did you insult and ruin him? For money, right? Then now you will say you love him? What exactly are you planning on doing with my son, huh?! Tell me so I can give you what you want and it'll all be over!" "Nothing. All I want is for you to respect us. I want you to bless my son as Lucius' father. We are going to have a child and I will not let my child grow up without a father to recognize and support his or her identity. I'm not asking for much, just a little respect and acknowledgement from you." The lady laughed and shook her head. "I am investigating you. You work in a club, many men go there. This means you are a flirt and easy to seduce. How can I be sure that the child in your belly is Lucius' child?" The lady looked at her with a disgusted look and then looked down at her belly. Estella's blood almost boiled because of what the lady said, but she didn't want to hit her because she still knew the word "respect." Sh
MOTHER... SANDRA... When Estella opened her eyes, they were the first person she saw. Both of them were sitting in the chair next to the bed and just looking at her. She tried to sit up but felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She remembered what had happened, and she felt terrible. She suddenly noticed that she had IV Fluid again, which Vanessa had just removed from the back of her hand. She remembered everything that had happened before she lost consciousness, and it all flashed before her in a rush. "My baby?" She asked them. "How is my baby? Where is Doc Andrea?" Neither of them replied. They remained silent, looking at each other as if pushing each other to see who would speak. Their faces fell, and their eyes were swollen. Her chest was painful because she felt she needed to know something. They were both trying to contain their emotions, but it was clear that they both wanted to say something. "Mother, Sandra? My baby is still healthy, right? Like Doc Andrea always says." S
Estella was holding back her tears as she nodded. The young man kissed her lips again and then the tip of her nose before burying his face in her neck again and hugging her tightly as if he didn't want to let her go. He seemed afraid that she would suddenly disappear. Their embrace was so tight that it was almost as if he was scared she would disappear if he let her go. "BABY Luo, I'm so sorry, huh? If mom leaves your dad. I'll do it because I know I can't be good for him like your Grandma Lavinia said." Estella breaks down in tears as she talks to the small vase where the ashes of her baby and the young man are kept. She can't help but feel guilty for the pain she has caused. She is determined to ensure that her baby's memory will forever be cherished and remembered. Estella promises to herself that she will strive to be the best person she can be and never make the same mistakes again. Lucius left. Before the young man left earlier, she hugged him very tightly because she kne
"HEY! Jessica! The water I drew is mine but you used it to take a bath?! I hate you! I'll be late for school. It's the first day of school! Argh!" Lara shouted at their youngest sister. Their youngest sister just rolled her eyes, unperturbed by Lara's outburst. "You know, sister. I didn't have a shower yesterday because of the disconnection of water. Well, you take a bath every day. So don't be selfish." This is Jessica's reasoning. Her mother scolded her sisters for constantly fighting. "I told you to stop, but you can't listen to your mother! You're always late, and it's the first day of school today. The noise you make will make our neighbors angry. We've only been here for a few weeks, and we could get evicted if we don't quiet down!" It's been almost three weeks since Estella left Lucius' life for good, and the pain and heartbreak she feels are still very fresh in her mind. It's been almost three weeks since Estella left Lucius' life, and the pain she feels is still fresh.
