Inside Marissa's Heart 9. Uniting for Celebration
"Hello, my Juan," Marissa hugged the white foal and smiled as she walked into the stall. "I've missed you. It's been days without you. You know, Daniella has left, and I'm making an effort to maintain distance from Juan, treating him more as a brother. Meanwhile, my mischievous Carlos is doing his best to find happiness with Danna, and the ever-elusive Ignacio is hardly ever at home. My parents are, as usual, wonderful. Everyone is fine and living their lives. Anyway, I just hope that one day I can forget my feelings for Juan and move on. Staying away from him seems like the best choice." "William, go and take care of the cows. I just called a vet for the infirmary. I need to hire a permanent vet for the animals," she heard Juan's authoritative voice. "Yes, Boss," she heard William obediently accepting the orders. The door creaked open, and Marissa sensed Juan's gaze on her, causing discomfort. Despite her attempts to distance herself, they always seemed to cross paths. "I'm just a
Inside Marissa's Heart 10. Valiente Bonds
The family gathered around the dining table, engaged in discussions about the upcoming wedding anniversary celebration for Miguel and Rosario. "I'm so excited for tomorrow; they're going to love it," Carlos expressed eagerly, met with agreement from Danna, who added, "Absolutely." As Juan joined them, taking a seat next to Ignacio, he teasingly called out to Danna, "Do you always have to agree with everything Carlos says? Yesterday, he wanted the decorations in all pearl white and green, and you immediately jumped on board." Chuckling, Marissa defended her, saying, "Let her be; she just wants to make him happy." Marissa's laughter echoed throughout the room, her amusement interrupted by a cough, like a melody broken by an unexpected note. Ignacio asserted, "Juan, women should always be at our disposal; they should agree with us men because we are the dominant ones." "Ignacio, women shouldn't be at our disposal; they're equals," Carlos asserted, planting a kiss on Danna's lips. "If

Marissa found herself in the living room, immersed in the hustle of directing and orchestrating the decoration, offering precise instructions to the servants. "It should be like this here," she articulated, her vision for the space. "A touch of green would look absolutely lovely in this corner, and when the cake arrives, make sure it's placed on this side." In the midst of the bustling activity, Juan entered the living room, his gaze immediately finding Marissa. Sensing his eyes on her, she turned, meeting his eyes with a naughty wink that conveyed a silent understanding. In response, a warm smile lit up Juan's face. In the kitchen, Danna was assisting Margarita with the cooking when Carlos entered. Without hesitation, he swept Danna off her feet, his hand around her waist, and spun her around. As the spin concluded, Carlos and Danna shared a sweet kiss. Meanwhile, in the living room, Ignacio walked towards Juan. "Everything is ready," he said. "Thank you, Ignacio," Juan replied. "
Inside Marissa's Heart 12. Moonlit Waters
Under the shimmering moonlight that danced upon the river, Marissa made her way to the water's edge. There, in an emotional moment, she slowly removed her clothes, leaving only her bra and pants. Closing her eyes, she immersed herself in the river, each step a deliberate descent into the cool, soothing water. In this solitary act, she sought relief from the pain of unrequited love, believing that fading away was the only way to escape, convinced that no one would notice her absence.Juan sprinted towards the river, catching sight of Marissa with only her bra, he swiftly dove into the water, swimming urgently to reach her. Standing before her, he took decisive action, leaning in to passionately press his lips against hers.Marissa, initially startled, felt a surge of surprise. In that unexpected kiss, she questioned the reality of the situation, only to find herself returning the kiss.Juan lifted her from the water, cradling her in his arms as he emerged from the river.Gently setting
Inside Marissa's Heart 13. River's Confession
Marissa made a conscious decision to invest her time in caring for her white foal and assisting with the other horses, immersing herself in the routine of the stable. Yet, amidst her tasks, she occasionally paused to observe Juan from afar, his figure visible through the window of his office. As she thought about ways to erase him from her heart, she struggled with the ongoing task of moving on and finding comfort in the daily routines of the ranch. Memories flooded Marissa's mind, transporting her to a time when everything was harmonious between them. Memories of Juan getting her ready for school and driving them there wrapped her with nostalgia. She treasured him for the many ways he showed his love, making her feel uniquely special among her siblings. The moment Juan completed college and decided to return to the ranch, Marissa felt a significant change in her life. It felt like a part of her essence was being carried away with him, as if he were taking a piece of her soul with hi
Inside Marissa's Heart 14. Silent Storms
The next morning, Marissa joined the breakfast table, wondering where their parents were as she sat down. "Where are Mother and Father?" Carlos, the only one at the table, started to reply, "They went out...," but his words faded as he looked at Marissa. "Wow, Marissa, lipstick. Who gave it to you? Danna or Mother?" Carlos asked. "Can't any change happen to me?" Marissa replied. "Juan..." Carlos called out, capturing Juan's attention as he came towards the table. Marissa subtly licked her lips, her gaze dropping to her plate. "I'm surprised Margarita made my favorite dish today," she said, trying to hide her nervousness by talking about the food. Carlos examined the dish. "Come on, Marissa, this isn't your favorite," he countered, watching her take a bite of the potato. Juan glanced at Carlos as he sat across from him. "Do you notice anything different about Marissa today?" Carlos inquired, his brow furrowed and his eyes wide with curiosity. Juan looked at Marissa, who smiled b
Inside Marissa's Heart 15. Pending Verdicts
Juan's fists clenched tightly as his face contorted with worry and anger. "Drugs? This can't be happening," he muttered, glancing at Marissa, who shared his shock. "I know this is hard to believe, Juan. We have evidence, and we're conducting a comprehensive investigation," Inspector Guerra reassured them, his tone sympathetic. "What evidence do you have?" Juan questioned. "We received a tip about illegal activities in a casino. They are using drugs and gambling, and upon investigation, we found drugs in Ignacio's possession. He resisted arrest, making the situation more complicated," Inspector Guerra explained, handing Juan a folder with details of the case. "We are conducting a test on them; if the drug test is negative in his system, he will be released." Marissa, equally shocked and concerned, placed her hand on Juan's shoulder, offering him silent support as he examined the documents. "We need your cooperation to get to the bottom of this," Inspector Guerra added. "When will h
Inside Marissa's Heart 16. Burden Unveiled
"It has been a few days already; how long are we going to lie to Mother and Father?" Carlos questioned as they sat in Juan's office. Juan, seated at his office desk, Marissa, and Carlos each occupied seats in front of him. "Yes, Juan. Mother even asked when is he coming back; she and Father tried his number, but it's not reaching," Marissa added as Juan sighed. "She also asked me. I told her maybe she should try again," Juan said, sucking his lower lip in deep thought. "What do we do now, Juan?" Carlos asked. "What do you guys think I should say?" Juan questioned. "Oh dear Mother, Father, your son is arrested and he is in jail with the charge of drugs. Is that it?" Juan asked sarcastically. Miguel walked inside the office, asking, "What did you just say?" He looked extremely agitated and unwell, with clear signs of stress and sickness etched on his face, as if he might collapse any moment. They all stood and stared at him; Juan hurried to his side and supported him. "I'll call t
