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
She didn’t bother to close the drapes in her window last night and Lilian woke up to the rays of sunlight getting into her room. It was already late and she was angry but Alexander was still lying on the sofa bed and the man looked like he was soundly sleeping. Lilian got up from her bed and went to stir Alexander from his sleep. “Hey! Why are you still sleeping when it’s already time to prepare my breakfast?” She raised her voice while kicking his legs to wake him up. Alexander woke up with a terrible headache and he couldn’t move his muscles. It was sore and he shivered in cold but Lilian forced him to open his eyes. “Good morning, beautiful.” Even when he was not feeling well, he didn’t forget to greet the woman who meant everything to him. “What’s good in the morning when I’m hungry and you’re still here?” She snapped at Alexander. With all the frustrations building up inside her, Lilian was back to being mean especially with Alexander. He had no choice but to ge
Philip Madrigal cursed at his men for being incompetent! For the last twenty years, he had been looking for a certain woman but until today, there was no news about Sharon! Where did that woman go that he couldn’t find her? Was she a ghost or a supernatural being? With his money, there was no one he couldn’t find in the Philippines except her! “Boss, how about if we will hire the services of Ortega’s Agency? They were famous for being the best in the field.” Tyler suggested to his boss to try Ortega’s services this time. “Finally, you accepted the fact that you’re incompetent! Now, get out of my sight!” He screamed at his right hand because he was pissed off! Tyler knew better when to stop and he immediately went to the door to go out. When Philip was mad, he wouldn’t want to be in the same room with the insane man! He couldn’t understand why he was so obsessed with Sharon when he could just afford any woman to grace his bed. He could afford anyone for goodness sak
Alicia was a sore loser and she couldn’t accept the fact that Marcus told him to stay away. For three days, she stayed inside her bedroom and contemplated committing suicide, however, she realized that killing herself wouldn’t change anything and Marcus would still be happy with Daniella! That woman! Alicia would love to ruin the other woman’s face if she was given a chance to meet with Daniella! She had the woman’s address but she couldn’t just go there and introduced herself. Marcus had warned her about causing trouble with his fiancée. Hah, fiancée? No way! She could never allow him to marry anyone…except her! She must be stupid, but what else could she do when she wanted him so much? She tried her best to lure him, but the man was old enough to know about her tricks and it frustrated her that Marcus didn’t fall with her stratagems. Alicia realized that if she wanted to focus on Marcus, she should resign from her job and go back to her family home in Beverly Hills. So,
Daniella was happy that Lilian and Alexander have reconciled their differences. It was only Paloma who wasn’t thrilled at the reunion of Vanessa’s parents and her stepmother went somewhere to relax. Lilian was worried about her mother but Daniella assured Lilian that everything would be fine, and Paloma would just return home soon. At breakfast, Ortega announced to everyone that he and Lilian, would be gone for a day or two and that Thalia should take care of Vanessa for the time being. Daniella agreed to it, and Marcus did too. The newly reconciled couple must have felt suffocated because of the agents who were on the property and they needed someplace that was quiet and romantic. Lilian and Alexander left the property around noon. “Finally, it’s just me and you,” Marcus said. “And at least twenty security personnel,” Daniella added. “I’m here now, Dani, so why do you need them to guard this place?” Marcus disliked the idea that the place was cramped with Ort
Alexander took Lilian to his building first which housed his agency as soon as they arrived in the city. After he explained everything about the nature of his job, they went to the parking lot for their car, then they would go somewhere nice for lunch. All of a sudden, Lilian screamed when someone grabbed her and forced her to get inside their van that was parked just beside Alexander’s car. His eyes widen upon seeing Lilian being dragged away and he followed. He prepared himself for a bloody fight, and he was too focused on saving his woman that he didn’t notice the man behind him who struck his head. She cried for his name as Alexander lost his consciousness and was dragged inside the van. The horrible man who did it to him dared to smile at her. She was angry and glared at the man but all of them just laughed at her. “What do you want from us?” She asked and begged the men to let them go. “We only needed him, lassie. It’s just bad luck that you’re with h
Since he came, Marcus never got the chance to spend quality time with Daniella. She was always busy and on most occasions, she would prioritize their daughter and Vanessa. He wished that Lilian would be back soon! However, there was an old saying that stated to be careful with what you wish for or you might get it. He just got back from Daniella’s office when Lilian arrived, together with Alexander and a certain unwanted guest. At first, he thought that his imagination was just playing some tricks on his eyes, but when he rubbed it, Philip Madrigal was still there, alive and kicking! “Pa, what are you doing here?” he inquired. “Is that how you’re supposed to greet the man who let you see the world?” Philip scolded his son for forgetting his good manners. Marcus had no choice but to let his father inside the house, together with Lilian and Alexander. The couple immediately went to look for their daughter. “How did you know about Alexander and Lilian?” “It just hap
Before dinner, Paloma announced to everyone that she wanted Lilian, Alexander, and Philip in the library to discuss an important matter. “Ma, what is this about?” Daniella asked because she was confused why Paloma included Philip. “For now, it’s confidential, Ella,” Paloma replied and ahead to the library. Lilian and Alexander were also confused when Paloma made it sound so urgent and serious. Out of them all, it was only Philip whose expression remained the same and casually followed Paloma to the library. “Do you have a clue what is this about?” Lilian asked Alexander but the man only shrugged off his shoulders. They were all gathered around the long table inside the library and Paloma waited for everyone to take their sit before she opened her mouth. “Lilian dear, how much do you love Alexander?” She started by asking Lilian just how in love she was with Alexander. “So much, Ma,” Lilian replied. “And you Alexander?” Paloma continued. “I can’t l
