"I love you Kris. I'm madly deeply inlove with you." mahina ngunit dinig na dinig ni Kris ang mga binitawang salita ni Gunner.
Kristel froze in her sit. "Y-you're in love with me?" Hindi makapaniwalang ulit niya sa sinabi ng binata. Hindi yata't pareho lang sila ng nararamdaman ng binata sa isa't isa. Can this be true?
Nag - aalangang ngumiti si Gunner. "Yes. You heard it right. I'm in love with you."
"Since when?" Kristel asked still in a state of confusion and disbelief.
"Way back in Paris Kris." Gunner answered looking at her intently.
Umiling - iling siya. "You love Nina Ellize that's why you left me without a single word when you heard she had an accident."
"I left a note saying I'll be back. I'll just check on Ellize after al
"Mommy, what does Daddy looked like? Is he handsome like Tito Matt?" sunod - sunod na tanong ni Allaire sa kanya. Kanina makatapos ang session nito ay kinausap muna niya ito telling her that she will meet her Dad soon. Kristel smiled at Allaire. "Yes sweetie. Your Dad is handsome." She didn't lie telling her na guwapo si Ghunner. Ghunners' everyone's dream to have. He's undeniably handsome, hot, and lean. He's also intelligent and holds a company as CEO. One of the Montenegros' heir. A bachelor a woman would die to have. "Yes! You heard that Yaya Ness? Finally, I will tell my classmates I really have a Daddy. Makikita nila Mommy." may pait sa boses ng anak nang sambitin ang mga katagang iyon. It pained her knowing how hard it is for Allaire without a father around. She thought it was just fine.
Dericks' glowered at him while they are entering the mansion. He's not afraid though. He scanned the place. Everything in the house implicates wealth. Of course, they are Almabis, what could you expect? But this is not new to him since he is a Montenegro himself. He looked back at Derick. He is ready to face anyone and explain his side. Blue was just looking at him. While Gibson nodded his head to greet him. Of all the Almabis Brothers, it was Gibson who was the least na maiisip niyang babati sa kanya. He even patted his back at iminuwestra sa kanyang maupo na siya sa single couch doon. "I'm just going to call Mom and Dad to inform you're here Kris.. with Gunner." ani Blue before leaving them for a while to call their parents. "Tito Daddy Dee, where's the toy you told me?" Allaire asked her Uncle Derick about the toy they were talking about over the phone last night. Excited na nga
"Kris.. halika sandali." tawag sa kanya ng kanyang Kuya Derick. Kasalukuyang nag - uusap sina Kuya Blue at Kuya Gibson sa coffee table sa isang sulok ng salas. Mabilis siyang lumapit sa kapatid. Matiim itong nakatingin sa infinity ring sa kanyang daliri. "Are you sure about this?" narinig niyang tanong nito. He scanned her face as if makukuha doon ang kasagutan. She nodded her head as a response. "Yes Kuya. I've never been this sure in my life." "Kris, may anak kayo, naroroon na ako. Pero ibang usapan ang pag-aasawa. Have you thought about this?" nag - aalalang wika ng Kuya niya na napasuklay pa ng kamay sa buhok nito.
Because it rained so hard last night, her parents suggested that Gunner stay just for the night in their mansion. Since Gunner missed his little Allaire so bad, he asked if he could stay in her room. They all agreed on it. They spent the whole night in Allaire's room. Her heart was filled with overflowing love when she felt Gunner hug her tight. Bahagya siyang lumayo to tucked Allaire in the bed. But Gunner grabbed and held her tight again. 'Oh no! Not again.' They couldn't help but make love last night because they missed each other that much. After all, they getting married soon. He cuddled her in his strong lean arms and this time, it seemed hindi siya nito gustong pakawalan pa. He touched her lips with his fingers and then kissed her. Mabilis lang iyon pero may spark pa rin. She felt dazed
Kahit nasasaktan habang nakamasid sa papalayong si Matthew at Allaire, Kristel had no choice but to tell him once and for all. Masasaktan at masasaktan si Matthew sa kanyang desisyon ngunit wala siyang magawa upang pagaanin ang sitwasyon para kay Matthew. He's been part of their lives for the past years. It's so unfair kung hahayaan niya itong mag - ilusyon na may maasahan sa kanya gayung hanggang kaibigan lang talaga si Matthew para sa kanya. Mahal niya si Matthew bilang isang kaibigan. Nothing more, nothing less. Kung natuturuan lang sana ang puso. Sana'y noon pa man ay sinuklian niya lahat ng kabutihan na ginawa nito para sa kanya. She'll pray for him. "Hey.. penny for your thoughts?" It was Gunner. He kissed her cheeks and held her tight. Ngumiti siya sa binata ngunit batid niyang hindi iyon umabot sa kanyang mga mata. Napabuntunghininga siya
And because it's Saturday sinorpresa sila ni Gunner nang kaunin sila nito ng chopper and headed to Morong Bataan, Beach Cove Eco - Tourism Resort to be exact. Isinama rin nila si Yaya Ness sa pagpunta doon. When they reached the place, hindi mahinuha ni Kris kung anong adjectives ang tamang gamitin. There's a white sand beach and lush mountains. The place was just so amazingly beautiful. She felt like she was not in the country anymore. It was indeed a paradise. There were colorful flags and umbrellas covering the pathway. There were lots of villas where you can stay for the night. "Wow! Daddy this place is so nice! I think I'll enjoy our stay here." namamanghang sabi ni Allaire sa kanyang ama. Ngumiti lang si Gunner and passionately caressed Allaires' hair. "Of course sweetie, I'd made sure of that." 
"Hey.." Halos hindi niya namalayan ang paglapit ni Gunner sa kaniya. She was sitting on the outdoor lounge chair provided at the pool side. She was there watching Allaire and Yaya Ness habang nagsiswimming na ang mga ito.He gently reclined the lounge chair and sat beside her. He hugged her tight and kissed her. So clingy! Ngunit wala siya sa mood since naiimbyerna pa rin siya sa presence ni Nina Ellize. She moved away from him. "Hey.. what's that for?" kahit bahagyang nagulat ay nakangiti pa rin si Gunner. She knew he has an idea why she's acting like that. "Don't get mad Love. I will never ever cheat on you." Tinaasan niya lang ito ng kilay. Now, the old Kristel is back. Hinding hindi niya gustong ishare si Gunner kahit sinong prima donna pa yan.  
Since Kristels' mom prepared dishes earlier, niyaya sila nitong kumain. Hindi man sinasadya, napapagitnaan nila ni Ronan si Kristel. Napatingin ang dalaga kay Ronan. Nakangiti ito sa dalaga at bakas ang kasiyahan nito sa mukha. Nag - init tuloy ang kanyang ulo. Naiinis siya sa aktuwasyon ni Ronan. Parang gustong gusto niyang ipagsigawan na in months time ay magiging Mrs Montenegro na ang dalagang katabi nito at iwasiwas sa mukha ng maputlang Amerikanong ito ang infinity ring sa kamay ni Kristel. Bahagya niyang sinagi ang binti ni Kristel sa ilalim ng mesa. Matiim itong tumitig sa kanya. Nag - iwas siya ng tingin. 'Oo na, new member na siya ng Andres Club.' Not because takot siya sa dalaga ngunit dahil ayaw niyang mawala pang muli sa kanya ang dalaga at ang kanilang anak. Five years is enough. Ayaw na niyang madagdagan pa ang mga naging paghihirap nila. &
