Chapter: Chapter Sixty-Two
Amanda’s POVMatapos ang mahabang araw na magkasama sila Andrew at Audree, nagkaroon ako ng lakas ng loob na makipag-usap kay Andrew. Lumubog na ang araw at malapit na siyang umalis. Hinalikan niya si Audree sa pisngi bago ito pumasok ng dorm, saka bumaling sa akin. Ngumiti ako sa kanya bago ako nagsalita."Andrew," panimula ko. "Gusto ko lang mag-sorry sa nangyari kagabi. Tama ka, at mali ako. Sana maging maayos tayong dalawa para kay Audree. At huwag kang mag-alala, kung akala mong inaagawan ka na ni Calvin ng pwesto kay Audree, hindi iyon totoo. Inintroduce ko lang siya kay Audree bilang kaibigan dahil gusto ko munang magkaayos kayong dalawa.""Don't worry, Amanda," sagot niya, "hindi mo kailangang mag-sorry. Ako ang may kasalanan sa nangyari kagabi. Pasensya na sa mga nasabi ko." Mahinahong ngumiti siya. "Na-appreciate ko na iniisip mo 'yung mga ganitong bagay para sa akin."Ilang sandali ng katahimikan ang namagitan sa aming dalawa, hanggang sa nag-salita siya muli."Gusto ko san

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-One
Amanda’s POVCalvin came by today at Casa Reyes, and I introduced him as just a friend because I didn't want to confuse Audree, especially since Andrew and I are still figuring out the right time to tell her that Andrew is her dad. It's a sensitive situation, and I want to make sure everything falls into place smoothly.What I really appreciate about Calvin is how understanding he is. He fully accepts that I have a child, and more than that, he's genuinely open to making compromises to develop a meaningful connection with Audree. It’s not easy, but his willingness to put in the effort means a lot.Today, he came with a small gift for Audree, and it was so sweet to see how quickly they clicked. It felt natural, like there was this unspoken bond forming between them. It made me feel hopeful for the future, knowing that he’s not just accepting my situation but is actively trying to be a positive presence in Audree’s life.We were having breakfast when I suddenly saw Andrew walking toward

Andrew’s POVHindi ko talaga maipaliwanag ang nararamdaman ko nang makita ko si Amanda kanina na kausap si Calvin. Parang may kutob ako na siya nga ang dinidate ni Amanda, yung taong binanggit ni Audree. Pero ang talagang nagpa-bother sa akin ay yung mga ngiti nila sa isa’t isa at yung mga kilos nila na parang komportable na sila at sanay na sa isa’t isa. Hindi ko maiwasang mag-isip kung gaano na ba nila kakilala ang isa’t isa at bakit parang sobrang tiwala si Amanda sa lalaking iyon. Parang may koneksyon silang hindi ko kayang ipaliwanag, at hindi ko matanggal sa isip ko yung pakiramdam na iyon. I felt frustrated, confused, and oddly betrayed all at once. It was a feeling I couldn’t shake, no matter how hard I tried.Nanatili akong tahimik hanggang sa makarating kami sa Casa Reyes upang ihatid sila. I was doing my best to keep my composure because I didn’t want to cause a scene in front of our daughter.“Thanks, Andrew.” Amanda spoke to me first after I dropped her and Audree off at

Amanda’s POVI didn’t know what to feel when Audree told me that we were going to the park with Andrew. I wanted to say no, but I could see how excited Audree was to go out with Andrew. I didn’t want to be selfish, so I agreed and got her ready early.Just the thought of the three of us being together, like a family bonding, was driving me crazy. I didn’t know what could happen or how to handle the situation. But then, I realized this might be good for Audree. Maybe this will help her get closer to Andrew, so when the time comes, it won’t be as difficult for her to know the truth—that Andrew is her real dad."Amanda, are we okay?" Andrew asked, his voice soft, as we sat on the bench waiting for Audree to return from buying ice cream."Yeah, we're fine," I answered quickly, glancing at him but quickly looking away. I had been avoiding his gaze for a while now. I didn’t know why, but even after all this time, there was still something about him that affected me in a way I couldn’t expla

Chapter: Chapter Fifty-Eight
Andrew’s POVSabado ngayon at walang pasok sa school si Audree, kaya maaga akong nagpunta sa Casa Reyes para makita sila ni Amanda. Nangako ako kay Audree na dadalhin ko siya sa park, kaya't hindi ako makapaghintay na magkasama kami. Nakita ko online na may boulevard park sa Dumaguete, at kailangan naming sumakay ng barko papunta sa kabilang isla, kaya maaga akong umalis at nagtungo doon.Pagdating ko sa Casa Reyes, nakita ko si Audree at si Amanda. Si Audree ay nakaupo sa harap ng salamin habang tinatalian ni Amanda ang buhok niya. Pinagmamasdan ko silang dalawa, at hindi ko maipaliwanag, pero parang may kakaibang saya na bumabalot sa puso ko. Habang tinitingnan ko sila, nakaramdam ako ng init sa dibdib — hindi ko alam kung bakit, pero may isang espesyal na pakiramdam sa mga simpleng sandaling ito.Hindi ko alam kung gaano katagal akong nakatayo sa may pintuan, ngunit nung napansin ni Amanda na nandiyan ako, ngumiti siya at nagsalita. "Andrew, good morning," sabi niya, medyo magaan n

Andrew’s POV"Please take good care of Audree, Andrew. If you plan on bonding with her, please make sure you take her home before 7 p.m." Amanda reminded me."Thanks, I will," I replied as I held Audree’s hand and led her to the car. I couldn't help but feel a shift in Amanda’s demeanor. It was strange, because just last night we were talking normally, and now it felt like there was some distance. I didn’t know why, but I decided not to overthink it and just let it be."Later, susunduin kita sa school. Gusto mo bang magpunta sa ibang lugar? Pinaalam na kita kay mommy mo," tanong ko kay Audree na nakaupo sa passenger seat."Wala naman masyadong mapapasyalan dito, kuya pogi. Gusto ko po talagang pumunta sa park," sagot niya nang malungkot."Sige, next time dadalhin kita sa park," sabi ko, sinusubukang pasayahin siya. "Pumunta na lang tayo sa isang lugar kung saan may masarap na pagkain mamaya. May gusto ka bang kainin?""Chocolate cake po, kuya pogi!" sagot niya, sabay ngiti."Chocolate

Dominic's POVThe mechanic was already outside, talking to Marielli. I didn’t bother stepping out—I could guess what he was going to say. Her car wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Maybe not even tomorrow.I stayed in the kitchen, leaning against the doorway, arms crossed, watching her stir sugar into her coffee like it was some kind of art. She always moved like she had a plan—even when she pretended not to.“It’s going to take a while,” she said, almost too casually. “You don’t mind if I hang around, do you?”I shrugged. “It’s your call.”She sipped her coffee, that mischievous glint flashing in her eyes. “Let’s go to the beach.”I frowned. “The beach?”“You, me, and Sofia,” she said, like it was the most natural thing in the world. “She needs fresh air. And you, Dominic, need to stop brooding before your face stays that way.”I didn’t respond right away. The idea sounded good—too good. That’s what worried me.“Marielli… We’re hiding her. If someone sees us—if he finds out…”She se

Dominic’s POV Marielli visited me here at the mansion and spent the whole day helping me with Sofia’s case. She couldn’t go home because her car broke down, and it was too late to call a mechanic, so we decided she would just spend the night here. But instead of resting, she invited me to have a few beers. Now we’re outside, sitting on the wooden bench, drinking while staring up at the stars. “You really don’t sleep anymore, do you?” she asked, looking at me over the rim of her bottle. I smirked. “I’ll sleep when this case is over… or when I drop dead, whichever comes first.” She rolled her eyes, smiling. “I thought lawyers were dramatic in court, not in real life.” We both laughed, and then she tilted her head toward the sky. “Do you ever wonder what you’d be doing if none of this happened? If life didn’t pull you into… all this?” I took a moment before answering. “Maybe I’d be fixing motorcycles somewhere quiet. Somewhere no one knows my name.” She raised an eyebrow.

Sofia’s POV The late afternoon light cast a golden hue over the estate as I stood by the window, absently tracing patterns on the glass. Outside, Dominic stood near the driveway, his stance firm yet composed, as if waiting for something—or someone. Then she arrived. Marielli. The moment she stepped out of the sleek black car, a shiver ran down my spine. It wasn’t just recognition; it was memory. She wasn’t just any visitor. She was the visitor. The woman who always came to see Dominic while he worked at Romano University. The same woman who had been by his side all those years ago, back in college, when I used to see them together—laughing, talking, always impossibly close. I hadn’t remembered her before, but now, with my memories piecing themselves back together, it all came rushing back. She was always there. I watched as Dominic greeted her, his expression unreadable, yet there was an ease in the way he spoke to her, a familiarity that settled deep in my chest like

Sofia’s POV Since this morning, I hadn’t been able to talk to Dominic. Now that it was already afternoon, I realized I hadn’t even caught a glimpse of him. He had been locked away in the study the entire time, completely consumed by his work. I thought about checking on him, even just for a moment, but the door remained shut. Martha told me he was always like this whenever he was focused on something—distant, unreachable. Instead of dwelling on it, I decided to go to the farm and ride a horse for a while. A quiet ride through the fields seemed like the perfect way to clear my mind. When I started feeling hungry, I decided to head back to the mansion. Maybe Dominic was done with his work, and we could finally eat together. As I stepped inside, I found him in the living room, watching the news. The moment he noticed me, he grabbed the remote and turned off the TV. “Where have you been?” he asked, his eyes scanning me as if checking if I had gone somewhere I shouldn’t have.

Sofia’s POV Dominic’s voice softened, but the steel beneath it remained. “Sofia, this isn’t just about nullifying your marriage anymore. This is about justice.” I met his gaze, and for the first time in years, I felt something other than fear. I felt rage. And I wanted the truth. Dominic leaned back, his expression grim. “That night at Romano University… I saw something that didn’t sit right with me.” A cold dread coiled in my stomach. “What did you see?” He exhaled slowly, as if weighing every word. “Brake fluid. A small puddle near where your car was parked. At first, I thought it was just an oil leak from another vehicle, but then I noticed something else—a piece of tubing, cut cleanly, lying nearby.” Silence stretched between us, thick and suffocating. I clenched my hands together, my mind racing. “You think my brakes were tampered with?” Dominic’s jaw tightened. “It’s too much of a coincidence. Someone wanted you dead that night. If I had gotten to you a few m

Sofia’s POV The quiet hum of the study wrapped around us like a heavy blanket, thick with the weight of unspoken truths. Bookshelves lined the walls, filled with neatly arranged law books—Dominic’s world, his sanctuary. But right now, it felt like an interrogation room. And I was finally ready to confess. “You asked me to tell you everything,” I murmured, my fingers gripping the armrest of the chair. Dominic nodded, his dark eyes fixed on me. “No more secrets, Sofia.” I exhaled slowly. “It happened five years ago. The day I lost everything.” He leaned forward slightly, silent but demanding, waiting for me to continue. “I was supposed to meet someone that day,” I started, my voice barely above a whisper. “I had just finished cheer practice, and I was running late. I rushed through everything—my shower, my drive—because I didn’t want to miss that meeting.” I swallowed, gripping my hands together to keep them from trembling. “And then… everything went wrong.” The memory pla
