“Where are we going?” Daniella asked when Marcus told her to follow him outside. After lunch, AJ had to take a nap, and everyone was having siestas as they were accustomed to. “We have to talk,” he said. She agreed as they have a lot of things to be discussed especially when they were already in Oslob. “You said we have to talk, but why are you silent?” She probed why the man didn’t utter a word as they followed the path toward their private beach. “I don’t know if we are on the right track,” Marcus replied. Her heart panicked when he said it. “What do you mean?” Part of her wanted to know the real reason why he said it, and another part of her wanted to ignore his statement and just go on walking. “I was supposed to take you to the vineyard, but it seemed that we’re going to the beach.” He responded but he was surprised when the woman slapped his arm. “Why?” It was stupid of her to assume that Marcus said it in relation to their current situation. “The vin

After dinner, Lizzy listed the basics of the art of seduction. She hated Liza for being a flirt and promiscuous but she had no idea that she could utilize the art of seduction which Liza forced on her. Although it’s a little different as she was taught how to seduce men rather than women, still, the basics were almost the same. Seduction was not just about sex but more about paying attention to a person’s needs and moving gradually while targeting his or her physical desires, and the most important thing was the timing of when to approach. “The last time you saw her, what did you do?” She asked. Gerald was ashamed to admit how he made a fool of himself in front of Daniella and hesitated to tell Lizzy about it, but he had to. “I approached her like a stalker and a maniac,” he admitted to the things he had done that day at Mang Inasal. “Are you still a teenager? How can you do that? You know what, Baldy, I’m going, to be honest with you, but that woman must have been uncomfo

For the first time in two years, Lilian was able to sleep soundly while knowing that Alexander was awake to watch over Vanessa. Whereas Alexander could hardly stay awake while playing with the toddler who was very hype even in the middle of the night. He wanted to complain and woke up Lilian, but his conscience got the better of him, and he was warned beforehand. It was around three in the morning when his child decided to sleep beside her mother and for Alexander, it felt like he received something special. He was grinning as he walked towards the sofa bed that was provided for him to sleep. He didn’t know what time was it but his eyes refused to open when someone stirred him from sleeping. “What?” She snapped at the person who roused him from bed when he was still tired. Did he dare to snap at her? Lilian was not happy that Alexander refused to get up when it was time to prepare her breakfast. She was no longer breastfeeding her daughter but her body was already use

For a month, everything went well with Marcus and Daniella. There was never a time that they argued over something and they were very happy to be with each other, however, Marcus had to go back to Hacienda Velasquez to formally resign from his job. The town of Oslob has become popular because of the whale sharks and he discussed with Daniella a possible business venture that would cater to the unlimited number of tourists coming into their town. They could become partners where he would finance all the costs regarding its development while Daniella would let him use their beach and the vineyard. It was still an idea that has to be considered thoroughly after he resigned from the farm. “You can come with me to the farm and I will introduce you to my friend and his wife,” Marcus invited Daniella to go with him to the farm. “I would love to, but maybe some other time.” She refused because she believed that his friends would be surprised to see her and she didn’t want to i

Daniella heard him very well however she didn’t know what to tell him. She was still hurting so much that she would break down if she would open her mouth to speak. “You lied to me,” she said after a few minutes of gathering all her courage and strength. “I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you right away. You see, I’m waiting for the right time.” He explained but she shook her head as if she disagreed with his explanation. He should have told her everything about his first family, but he let assumed that Veronica was just his dead girlfriend. “When is the right time, Marcus?” She asked in a voice that accused him of being a liar from the start. She refused to believe that the same man was allowed to hurt for the second time. It was very insulting that she gave him the opportunity to hurt her again! Angrily, she freed herself from his tight embrace. “Tell me, was it also a lie when you said that you love me?” “I didn’t lie about my feelings for you Dani. In fact, I’m going to -”

Gerald decided to eat his breakfast ahead of Lizzy when the woman failed to show herself after seven in the morning. The food he ordered from Jollibee would be best eaten while it was still hot so he felt a little guilty after his first bite of the breakfast steak and he couldn’t take another bite without waking up the woman. Disgruntled, he walked towards her bedroom and knocked on her door. It was after several try that he discovered that the door wasn’t locked so he got inside while calling for her name. “Lizzy? Breakfast is ready, common.” He called but the woman was still lying in bed and her body was covered in a thick blanket from head to toe. He grinned that Lizzy had the common sense to cover herself or freeze from the cold with the kinky outfit she wore last night. Gerald tugged the blanket away from Lizzy to stir her from sleep, and stood frozen upon seeing her sleeping form underneath the sheet! He should have turned around and closed his eyes but his feet didn’t want

He was only gone for a few days but Daniella felt that it was like they were separated for a year or more. She wanted to see him badly but she had to wait for two more days before he would come back. From the window of her bedroom, Daniella could see Lilian and Alexander playing with their daughter. Her stepsister’s eyes beamed with happiness when she was with Alexander but Lilian continued to deny her true feelings towards the man. In fairness to Alexander, he was handsome enough to make any woman swoon with just his presence. She hoped that sooner or later, Lilian would own up to her feelings and let Alexander become part of her life once again. After she reconciled with Marcus, she wanted everyone she knew to be happy, just like her. When Marcus went back to the farm, Daniella tightened the security in their house because she was scared that someone terrible enough to hurt them would be able to gain access to their estate. No, she couldn’t risk the safety of her family, esp

On the night before his scheduled arrival, Daniella found it hard to sleep. Her heart was very excited to see him again and it was beating hard like a drum. It was almost midnight when she was forced to close her eyes and sleep. She was almost lost in oblivion when her phone rang and although she was sleepy, she still answered the call. “Yes?” “Guess who?” Her sleepiness was instantly gone and she sat upright to talk with the caller. “Where have you been? I couldn’t reach you for a few days,” she asked. Daniella was transparent and frank and those were some of the qualities Marcus adored in her. He didn’t have to guess because she would always let him know if she was happy, sad, or angry. “Can you do something for me, sweetheart?” He ordered Daniella to go to the huge acacia tree near the greenhouse to pick up something that he probably dropped in there. He thought that the woman would hesitate to leave her room because it was already in the middle of the night, but then
