Tatlong buwan na lang bago ang kasal nina Blessy at Ryan ngunit stressed pa rin ang bride-to-be.Hindi kasi mahagilap si Lady na siya sanang mag-aasikaso sa food buffet. Hanggang ngayon kasi ay hindi pa rin makapag-decide si Alice sa kung anong dapat ihain sa mga bisita, lalo na at mga business tycoon rin ang mga dadalo.Nasa kulang isang libo katao ang nakalagay sa guest list nila."Akala 'ko ba civil wedding ang gusto mo para sa anak natin? Eh karamihan ng nandito sa listahan mga kaibigan mo?!" Masama ang tingin na sabi ni Alex kay Alice."Ano'ng mga kaibigan 'ko? Nasa business world ang mga 'yan! Mga board of directors, business partners mo at ng hotel--""Mama, Papa! Pwede bang pagkatapos na kayo ng kasal magbangayan?!" Napaupo na lang si Blessy sa sofa katapat ng mga magulang. Tagaktak ang pawis niya dahil sobrang init sa labas.Natahimik ang dalawa ngunit nanatiling masama ang tingin sa isa't isa."Si Hendrix pala, Mama?""Nasa ninong Bryson niya. Dinala sa mall. Third wheel daw

Kahit alam naman na ni Blessy na magiging laman ng balita ang stepmother niya na si Valerie at ang 'half-sister' niya kuno ay hindi pa rin niya maiwasang mag-alala. Kaya naman niyang humarap sa media--dahil sikat na negosyante ang ama ay sanay siyang ma-interview. Ngunit iba na ngayong may anak na sila ni Ryan. She doesn't want to expose their son for other people's prying eyes. As much as possible, she want to hide his identity to the public--even though that'll be hard because their son, Hendrix Reynan will be the grandson of the most influencial billionaire family--combining Del Franco and Alvarado's financial assets all together. Naputol lang ang pag-iisip ni Blessy ng humahangos na pumasok si Alice sa hospital room nila. "Good thing that you have your own private room, courtesy of your soon-to-be-husband! Maraming reporters ang nasa labas. May ilan pang nakapasok at nagpapanggap na pasyente! Iniisip 'ko pa lang na araw araw may nakabuntot sa'kin na maraming reporter, naso-suf

Normal delivery naman ang panganganak ni Blessy. Mabilis na lang niyang nailabas ang baby, yun nga lang kailangan niyang mag-stay pa sa ospital ng tatlo hanggang limang araw.Alice went to the clinic that same evening when she gave birth. Hinahanap pala ng nanay niya ang boyfriend niya!"I'm secretly meeting a private investigator pero hindi namin mahanap hanap ang boyfriend mo! Kaya naman pala dahil nasa mismong farm natin siya!" Mariin na pasaring ni Alice kay Ryan na halos katutulog tulog lang dahil ito ang nag asikaso sa pagkain ni Blessy at ng iba pang gamot na kinailangan para sa baby."Mama, stop it! Katutulog lang ni Ryan. Isa pa, ako naman talaga ang lumayo at tumakbo palayo sa kanya--""Tinanggap kita kahit masakit sa akin na makita kang malungkot. Who knows if your inside your room and what you're doing there? Ayaw lang kitang mapariwara, anak. Ayaw kong maging produkto rin ng broken family ang apo ko--""That won't happen, Tita Alice. Blessy is the love of my life. My worl

Kagat-labing nagtapis si Ryan ng tuwalya sa katawan. Lumabas siya sa banyo pagkalipas ng limang minuto. He's tip-toeing while ascending the stairs to Blessy's room. Ayaw niya kasing may ibang taong makakita na papasok siya sa kwarto ni Blessy. Alice don't know about his real identity. Bryson knew him but he's very protective of her even if they're not blod related. Alam naman ni Ryan na hindi magtatagal at mabubunyag rin ang totoong pagkatao niya pero hindi muna ngayon. Maybe once Blessy gave birth. Isang baitang na lang ang aakyatin ni Ryan ng masalubong niya si Bryson. "Saan ka pupunta?" Nagtaas-ito ng kilay saka pumamewang. "A-ah, may--" Biglang bumukas ang pintuan sa kwarto ni Blessy. Nagpabalikbalik ang tingin ni Bryson sa kanilang dalawa. "You two--" "Manahimik ka, Bryson! Bukas na kita haharapin! At ikaw lalaki, gaano ka pa katagal bago pumasok dito sa loob?!" Nagkatitigan si Ryan at Bryson saka parehas na nagkibit-balikat. "You owe me one, bro!" Bryson s

Inis na inis si Blessy sa hindi maipaliwanag na dahilan.Kanina pa siya nagsusungit sa mga tauhan nila sa farm at kahit ang nanay niya na si Alice ay hindi niya pinapansin. Ayaw niya ring kumain dahil wala siyang gana."Oh dahil hinihintay ko si Brian?""Whatever!"Inis na nagmartsa siya pabalik sa kwarto at naligo--baka sakaling mag-iba ang timpla ng mood niya.Inabot rin ng isa't kalahating oras na naligo si Blessy dahil naisipan niyang magbabad sa bathtub--lumipat siya sa common bathroom sa first floor, iyong madalas gamitin ni Alice at Bryson.Nakaidlip pa ang dalaga. Nagising lang siya dahil sa biglang pagbukas ng pinto!May kurtina naman na nakatabing sa pagitan ng shower saka sa bath tub kaya hindi siya gumawa ng kahit na anong ingay.Wala lang, gusto lang niyang tingnan kung sino ang pumasok."Baka iihi lang," bulong pa niya sa sarili.Hindi nagtagal ay nanlaki ang mga mata ni Blessy dahil biglang naghubad ng tshirt ang lalaki!Sa hindi maipaliwanag na dahilan, napalunok si Bl

Kauupo pa lang ni Ryan sa opisina niya sa Chill'n ng humahangos na dumating si Andy."Sir, I have good and bad news.""Bad news muna.""Nagpa-book ng flight papunta sa Singapore ang stepmother ni Blessy kasama si Hurley. One way ticket lang 'yon. I think they're thinking of not coming back here." Nagmamadaling nagsalin ng tubig si Andy bago ito ininom."And the other news?" Nakataas ang kilay na tanong ni Ryan."There's improvement on brain wave test for Mr. Del Franco but the doctor's are not sure yet if he will still wake up or not. May attorney rin na naghahanap kay Blessy three days ago sa opisina mo sa AHI. I don't know how they think--""Of course, every media knew that we're engaged! Hahanapin talaga nila sakin ang girlfriend ko. Kailan ang flight ni Valerie?""Sa isang araw. May tao na akong kausap, nagbabantay sa airport. Kung sakali man na makita sila in an early flight, they'll call me.""As expected from you, Andy. The best ka talaga!" Ryan did high five."Can I order anyt

After Nia dressed up with her favorite purple balloon tube top and stretchable pants. She just grab a coat from her closet without checking its color since she'll just use it to cover her top and she'll remove it eventually in her own office. She want to spend more time sleeping now rather than working or doing anything in her office. She wants to take a few months off but her mother is very strict and she doesn't want her to just crawled up in bed all day!Nia got dressed at exactly seven in the morning so that she can still go back to sleep until nine in the morning. Though her sleep was interrupted since her dad came in at eight thirty."Come on, sleepy head! You can skip going to office right now but still you need to go to the car right away so that we won't be late to your doctor's appointment!" He carefully guide her shoulder and back to get up from bed as her mother put her black Jimmy Choo flat shoes."Yeah, you c

34Without Agatha's consent, Nia went in to her Ob-Gyne's appointment. Unlike the other women who were also sitting in the designated metal bench with their mother or husband, Nia is sitting side by side with Scott. As expected, all eyes are directed to them since Scott's age is showing with all the wrinkles on his face and she, on the other hand, looks like his wife based on how they looked a her.Nia whispered at Scott. "Their looks are hilarious, aren't they? Do I look like your wife or something? I thought the people here aren't judgemental but based on their reactions, I think they are.""Let them think what they want to think about us. What matters the most is for us to know if you have a little bean growing here." Scott carefully touch her small tummy before he continued, "And if I'll be a grandfather soon! I'll be excited to boast with my amigos about your pregnancy. I'm sure they're eyes will be as big as an owl when they'll

To Nia's surprise, a cold atmosphere was filled in the air after she came back to the dinning table where both her mom Agatha and Scott where silently glancing at her. She knew they were talking with their eyes since they are having a weird hand gestures while eating. As if a bomb will explode anytime soon!"Mom, is there something I need to know? Both of you are dead silent after I came back from shower. Is there something wrong?" The smile on her lips slowly fades as none of them answer her question. "So, there is?"Scott cleared her throat a couple of times before he took a deep sigh and made an eye contact with her. "Darling, you don't need to worry about it. Your mom and I will take care of it, I swear!"Nia felt her mom kicked Scott's feet and that result for his crumpled like face with a fake smile on his lips."Is it about Bryce? Oh, come on! Does he have an upcoming surprise for me?" She grinned only to s

Bryce flew back to the Philippines since his Dad wants to formally announce that he will be the new Chairman of McClove Holdings Corporation. His father built the company using his own inheritance from his grandparents. Their family business got bankrupt three times because of their greedy competitors. Luckily, when his Dad helped an old man to buy his meal in a fast food stall without asking for anything, the same old man helped him out to get loan from his own bank. It happened that the old man is a multi-million are and he didn't have any family to inherit his own business. Coincidentally, it's the same time when his father's family diswoned him because he took Business Administration Major in Marketing Management although his family wants him to take Neurosurgeon course. In fact

Nia woke up when her alarm rings. She's expecting to see Bryce on the other side of the bed since its only seven in the morning but all she saw is the shadow of his head on the other pillow. She lazily remove the pink ruffled comforter around her and suddenly, she felt a sting on her head. Maybe because she didn't have enough sleep. She took off her clothes and while on shower, she remembered that last night is the most memorable night for them and Bryce. At last, they made their relationship official! She felt more secure now that she heard Bryce and Scott's man-to-man conversation about marriage. She knew in heart that Bryce is a responsible man and he wouldn't promise to do anything that he cannot do in the future. She continue doing her morning routine and gathered all her files needed for the dress pattern that she need to pass to the factory. She'll just see Bryce later after office hours. "Hey, darling! I prepared some sandwich for you si

After the heated passion cool down, Bryce put her on top of his left shoulder, making his arm her pillow and his other hand is stroking her disheveled hair. "I'm sorry, I'm not able to contact you when you left. I'm dealing with the mental break down I had. I felt like I'm a robot back then that I need to do everything that is on a scheduled routine. My life is a mess. I don't know how to explain it further but I hope you'll forgive me, Nia. I didn't intent to leave you when you need me the most." His eyes looks like its pleading for forgiveness. "You're mom told me everything before I went back here. I trust her words that she'll support us if we are fated to meet each other someday. To be honest, I felt hurt when I didn't get anything from you everyday for the last couple of years. I thought if I will let myself be drowned on the negative side, how can I meet you again? I also had my own dose of breakdown. I can't tell anyone even mom how I feel for the last two an
