Rye had given the President himself the thick bundle of money. He had closed the three accounts of Gillian, Genova and Ginny. It was late in the afternoon when they reached Manila. He was given an audience by the President."President, I give you a hundred and fifty million pesos. Fifty million is intended for kids who couldn't go to college and get an education. One hundred million is intended for the victims of the three typhoons, which ravaged our country in one month! The money is inherited by my wife and her family. Please, do not name them. "

The big wedding started coming upon them one week before the exact day. The Tinbul family clan went on pouring from different parts of the globe. Helicopters went to and from the site where half of the hotel was finished.The finished half of the hotel was occupied by the guests, all relatives and friends of Jamil Tinbul."I don't want to overwhelm you, Genova dear." Jamil introduced his family, batch by batch.

After the trauma created by the 'shed' incident, life had been peaceful and serene.Ginny continued her studies. She had resigned from her hospital work."Grandpa Jamil is building a clinic for me," Ginny said proudly."That's a good idea," Genova praised her granddaughter.

Aduelo's clan and Tommy Manlupa's team of people worked together to fight the remaining army of Sualo. They were unreasonable. They were deaf to Aduelo's pleas.

"You are so brave, Chedeng," John praised her again about a dozen times."Genevieve is such a sweet child. I'd do anything to help," Chedeng said primly. Ginny was Genevieve now, as per instruction of Rye. "If you'll excuse me, I shall dress now.""It's too early." John glanced at the wall clock.

"Are you afraid that I'll leave you and go somewhere?" Ginny asked thoughtfully. She stared at Sam unblinkingly.Sam thought for a second before he sighed in a resigned manner. "I promised myself that I'll never keep you in the dark. Wait, here."He got up and picked up the bathrobe. He went to his room and when he came back, Ginny was dressed again. She was sitting on the bed while waiting for him. Wordlessly, he handed over the paper.

Her pillow moved when she turned her head towards the fire.She sat up instantly when she realized that Zac was beside her."Don't come near me!" Ivana scooted backwards. She was shocked when her blouse gaped. Her bra was unhooked. Her jeans were unbuttoned and unzipped. She scrambled to clutch together the flaps of her blouse.

She desperately wanted to forget him.Brie went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. She went to take a peep at her sister's room. Ivana and Kobbie were sleeping peacefully.

Zac Logan waited for Vino Blanco. He was getting impatient but he knew that patience was a virtue when it came to these silly trials.'Just a little more time, bro...' Vino told Zac many times.While waiting at the ledge of a mountain ravine, Zac watched the creatures below. They were living in harmony.
