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

"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

"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

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

Lucius pinned her against the door and deepened the kiss. She felt like she was in a trance as they continued to kiss, not wanting the moment to end. The feeling of his lips on hers was intoxicating, and she couldn't get enough of him. Estella didn't know why she let Lucius drag her to his condo. She was excited about the young man and couldn't understand why she was acting differently from what her mind dictated. Estella wanted more from Lucius, and it scared her. She tried to turn back to talk to Lucius, but the moment before, he kissed her. And she knew it was too late. She had been enveloped at the moment, and it felt like she was in another world. "Now, I can have you, I want you so bad.." Lucius' raspy voice was barely audible, and Estella could feel Lucius' intense desire from the eyes so that she could see the reflection in the mirror. She turned to talk to him, but he was already engulfed in hot kisses, so she couldn't do anything but move with the young man's lips. She m
