At past seven in the evening, Nana Marcela called them to come down for dinner. Together, they went through the dining room holding each other hands. She even noticed the surprised look of Nana Marcela and some servants they met in the dining room when they saw their clasping hands. She knew this is new to their sight, they were aware that they were like cat and dog and do not get along at all even when they were kids, who would have thought they will reconcile one day and bound to marry each other in the end? They might not used to them being married couple, even herself never thought this will happen. On the other hand, the Señor Alonzo seemed so delighted to see them sweet while walking through the dining table. Alec gently pulled out a chair for her and let her be seated first before he decided to sit beside her.
"I can see the honeymoon do you good. I was right, you were a perfect couple indeed. What do you think Marcela?" Senior Alonzo stated and face
"Good morning!" She greeted Alec cheerfully when she saw him enter the kitchen while he found her busy cooking. She woke up early this morning to surprise him andcook for him. She planned to give him a grand breakfast to please him and also to talk to him about the restaurant. She wanted to re-open her restaurant and ask him a favor about the matter. Now that Alec has the pull authority and power of the DeHizon empire and DeHizon Corporations, he can surely easily pull something strings to re-open and find a way to have the title of land where the restaurant was constructed. She was only renting the land and she was hoping that Alec can do something to own and buy the land. Yssa their cook and two maids who have good skills in cooking helped her in preparing all the food and she was glad they were very efficient. She cooked some Australian and traditional Spanish breakfast that she hope Alec would love. "I woke up without you
"Good morning, babe..." Alec greeted cheerfully that took her attention from what her doing. She was putting the tray of cupcakes she bakedon the table when Alec found her at the dining area that morning. Yes, she got hurt on what he acted last night and she was still sulking about it but shestill decided to wake up early to personally make him a breakfast just like she usually do for almost a week they have been stayinghere in the Capital now. They may had an agruement last night but that isn't mean she have to act childish and not fulfill her simple obligation as his wife. That is not what married couples do, she knew they have to fix this soon to avoid any conflicts in their relationship. "Good morning..." She replied carelessly as she continued what she was doing. "Hmmnn.. Those cupcakes looks delicious, babe." He stated after sniffing the aroma of t
That evening, she cooked something special for dinner. She planned to have a romantic dinner in the garden with Alec. She'll brighten up his mood and be extra sweet with him. She'll open up the topic about what Don Alonzo told her and will try to convince him to approve the said project. Truth is she was nervous about this. She don't know about real estate and construction business, she never had an interest and have no knowledge on that filed at all. She was scared that her plan might not work and worst, this might start and argument between them. But she gotta try though. She promised herself this will be the last time she will bring this conversation to Alec and if he never agreed, she guess she will stop trying. The cook and two servants kindly help her on the fantastic meal. She decided to make Spanish chicken and potatoes, Creme de calabizines, tortilla espanola and broiled spanish mackerel for dinner. She made sure everything will
Their breakfast was very unusual. She still cooked and prepared the food for him and they still had breakfast together and yet, the silence and coldness still belimp between them. They were so close but it seems a big wall was keeping them apart. She was eating and chewing the food but she doesn't seem to taste it well. Feels like she suddenly lost her appetite to eat. Its been a week she was being like this. Probably because of their situation and for thinking too much. She could feel Alec's intent stare as he was eating his food and she was very concious about it. "Camille will be here at the Capital tomorrow and she invited me to hang out with her in a bar. I hope you wont mind if I got late on going home." She stated telling her plans tonight. She tried looking at him but he never look back and gave her a single glance. After a while, Alec cleared his throat that made her looked his way. She saw him now with furrowed brows and
After being drastic and cruel. After the anger and cloudiness of jealousy, seeing his wife lying naked beside him in the bed covered herself in blanket while silently crying as her back was turned on him, it was like a hammer that slowly crushing down his heart. Guilt and regrets enveloped him and that's awakened something inside him. How could he did that drastic thing to his wife? He hurt her and treated her like a wanton woman and he did it again for the second time now. Jealousy blinded him and now he knew he did something he will regret in the end. It might be too late but he was really sorry for what he did. Damn, he couldn't stand seeing her crying this way. He couldn't even touch and console her afraid to meet her eyes full of hatred and hurt knowing he was the reason beyond those tears. He left the room, came outside the house and break anything be could grab in the garden. Feeling guilty and devastated, he didn't even noticed he was silent
Staring at the ornamental flowers and seeing their improvement made her smile and feel contented. She used to grow them before because she was so fascinated with flowering and herbaceous plants. Gardening was one of her habits too beyond cooking. She was fond with garden plants because they give such a soothing and relaxing feeling in the eye and being at the mansion's garden again after almost two months felt so relaxing and soothing in the feeling. Nana Marcela told her that her favorite tulip plants made an improvement so she immediately rushed to the garden and checked it herself. She could remember how they were so tiny before and looking at them finally sprouted in full bloom after two months simply brings joy to her heart. She was at that brink of happiness when she suddenly got interrupted because her eyes caught something in her peripheral view. She was not aware Alec followed her and never even noticed he was now silently watching her from a far
"Oh thank goodness, you're here!" Patty stated in a worried tone as soon as she saw them. She immediately hugged Patty and then Alec did the same too afterwards. Patty looked tired with eyes sullen as if lacking of sleep. She might rushed immediately all the way from Russia when she found the news about Don Alonzo as well. Her husband Jon Carlo was standing beside her silently watching them. "How's he?" Alec asked in a worried tone. From the look of his face he seemed anxious and scared, the first time she saw him react that way towards his father. From hacienda, they rushed back to the Capital after hearing the news about Don Alonzo. Alec settled everything in the De Hizon Empire and chosen people who will administer the business while they were away. They flew to Zurich, Switzerland immediately after a day and booked the earliest flight they can have after Alec cleared his schedule. All the way to the plane until they reached the hospi
When the sudden shocking loss of Don Alonzo De Hizon spread all over the business society, the media and newspapers feasted about the news. Friends, well known people and politician friends of Don Alonzo came at his wake to pay their respects and condolences. The wake lasted for three days and it has been a very emotional time for their family mostly to Alec. He was silent and abstain during the wake and the burial. She knew he was the most affected one to the death of Don Alonzo and she made sure to always be right by his side to console and sympathize him. Patty and Jon Carlo was the one who usually face and talked to the close friends who show their condolences. They all decided to cremate the body of Don Alonzo and according to the family lawyer it his one of his will. It's a shocking thing that the old man even thought of this matter when he was alive as if he was expecting it to happen in the future. After the inurnment, his body got cremated and his rema
