Chapter: Chapter 027After five monthsAndrea was busy in front of her vanity mirror, applying lipstick to her lips, when the shrill ringing of her phone startled her. Upon glancing down at the caller ID, her eyes widened in surprise at the sight of Caleb's name.Clearing her throat, she answered the call with the sweetest voice she could muster. "Yes, Caleb?"Naging busy si Caleb sa iba't ibang business trips abroad and meetings with clients, kaya naman pakiramdam ni Andrea ay iniwan siya sa ere ng kasintahan. Ang huling pagkikita nila ay noon pang dumalaw ang mga ito sa bahay nila kasama ang parents nito.Tumatawag ito paminsan-minsan at kinakamusta siya. Pero mas madalas nitong itanong ang 'katulong' daw nila. Mukhang sumasagap lamang ito ng balita tungkol sa babaeng iyon, kaya siya nito tinatawagan. But he would always remind her that they would meet in no time and she should prepare herself.Kaya naman sa sobrang pagkainip ay nakipagdate siya kung kani-kanino, at nakipag-one-night stand sa mga lalaki

Chapter: Chapter 026Dumating na ang araw na pinakahihintay nila. Ang pagpunta ni Daphne at Nathalie sa South Korea upang ipaplastic surgery ang huli. Pero bago sila bumiyahe papunta sa airport ay hiniling muna ng dalaga na madalaw ang kanyang ama sa hospital at masilip man lamang ang kalagayan nito bago siya umalis."Bilisan mo. Huwag kang magpapakita sa kanya at baka malate tayo sa airport." Mahigpit na bilin sa kanya ni Daphne. "Baka mapurnada pa ang mga plano ko dahil sa inyong mag-ama."Tumango siya at naglakad na papasok ng hospital at papunta sa kwarto ni Berto. Habang daan ay hindi niya mapigilan ang pagtulo ng luha mula sa kanyang mga mata. Ilang buwan ding hindi niya makikita ang tatay niya, pero sinigurado naman ni Daphne na hindi niya ito pababayaan.Huminto siya sa tapat ng kuwarto nito bago siya dumungaw sa maliit na salaming dingding ng pinto. Inayos muna niya ang kanyang face mask at shades bago ibinalabal ang scarf sa ulo niya paikot sa kanyang leeg.Hindi siya pwedeng makilala ng tatay n

Chapter: Chapter 025Naging busy si Daphne sa mga sumunod na araw dahil inaayos niya ang mga papeles na kakailanganin sa paglipad nila ni Nathalie papuntang South Korea. Bumili din siya ng isang apartment kung saan plano niyang doon muna pansamantala maninirahan ang dalaga.Hindi ito pwedeng mag-stay sa kanyang bahay dahil hindi ito pwedeng makita ng ibang mga katulong.Baka sulsulan pa nila ito at magbalak na namang tumakas o kaya ay kung anong plano na naman ang mabuo sa isipan nito.Habang papunta sa hospital upang dalawin ang dalaga ay nakatanggap siya ng message mula sa cardiologist ni Roberto. "Hey,doc. How's Robert?" tanong niya dito."He's awake. You can visit him now...'' sagot naman ng doctor bago nito ibinaba ang tawag.Ang unang plano niya ay iuuwi muna niya si Nathalie sa apartment at doon na muna maghintay habang inaayos ang pagpunta nito sa Korea, pero dahil gising na si Berto ay dadalawin na lang muna niya ito.Dumaan muna siya sa isang supermarket at bumili ng mga prutas. Pagdating niya sa

Chapter: Chapter 024"Isipin mo itong mabuti, iha." nagulat pa siya sa tinig ni Daphne dahil sa sobrang lalim ng iniisip niya. "Kung may nangyaring masama sa'yo sa club na iyon, maililigtas mo pa ba ang tatay mo? Dito sa gagawin mong pagpapanggap bilang si Andrea, isang gabi lang ang ibibigay mo, iha. At sigurado makakaligtas na ang tatay mo. Naiintindihan mo ba ang sinasabi ko? Isang gabi lang, Natnat. Pasalamat ka nga at hindi nakuha 'yang pinakaiingat-ingatan mo, eh di parang pinatay mo na din ang tatay mo kapag nangyari nga iyon."Sa sinabing iyon ni Daphne ay naningkit ang mata niya sa galit. Paano nasasabi ng babaeng ito ang ganoong bagay sa sitwasyon niya ngayon? Muntik na siyang mamatay. Ang tatay niya naman ay nasa bingit ng kamatayan."Anong sinabi mo?" nanggagalaiti sa galit na singhal niya dito. Wala na siyang pakialam kahit asawa pa ito ng tiyuhin niya. "Bawiin mo ang sinabi mo!""Hindi ko babawiin ang sinabi ko." nagmamatigas namang saad ni Daphne. "Gusto kong ipaintindi sa'yo kung ano ang p

Tumango-tangong sagot ng bruskong lalake. "Nasaan na siya?""Hindi ko alam. Pero nakita ko lumabas siya ng locker room at tumakbo papunta sa backdoor." Sagot nito na hindi pa rin inaalis ang kamay sa harap nito. "Asan na? May customer pa 'ko."Pero imbis na bayaran siya ni Bruno ay itinulak siya nito ng malakas at saka patakbong lumabas ng club."Hoy Bruno! Bumalik ka dito! Ibigay mo sa akin ang pera ko, walanghiya ka!" galit na sigaw ni Jane habang bumabangon mula sa pagkakabagsak sa isang mesa bago niya ito hinabol ito, pero napaiyak na lamang siya nang bigla itong mawala sa kanyang paningin.Nanlulumong napasandal na lamang siya sa dingding. Bigla tuloy siyang nakaramdam ng awa sa babaeng sinira niya ang mukha.Pag-ikot naman ni Bruno sa likod ng establisyemento ay agad niyang nakita si Nathalie na hawak-hawak

Chapter: Chapter 022Nagulat sina Caleb at Daniel nang makarinig sila ng malakas na sigaw mula sa locker room kung saan naroon si Nathalie kaya naman dali-dali silang tumakbo papunta doon, ngunit napahinto sila nang makasalubong nila si Jane."Miss, anong nangyari?" tanong ni Daniel dito, ngunit dire-diretso lamang ang babae at hindi ito pinansin. Pero maagap si Caleb kaya naman nahuli niya ang isang braso nito at hinila ito palapit sa kanya. "Miss, tinatanong kita.""Ano ba! Bitawan mo ako!" sigaw ng babae at nagsimulang magpumiglas mula sa mahigpit na pagkakahawak niya."Jane?" tanong nito na agad nakilala ang babae. "What happened? Anong ginawa mo sa kanya?""Hindi ko alam. Wala akong ginawa sa kanya. Huwag mo akong pagbibintangan!" sigaw nito. Mababanaag sa mukha nito ang takot at nerbiyos. Pero bago pa man siya macorner nang dalawa at malaman na may ginawa siyang hindi maganda sa dalaga ay iwinasiwas niya ang kanyang kamay na hawak ni Caleb at agad na kumaripas paalis.Hinabol siya ni Daniel, at si C

Chapter: You moanedChapter 112Reese''Enzo...'' I whispered his name, my voice husky. I was aware of what he was doing to me, but my mind was far away from stopping what was going to happen.''I'm sorry...'' he said, running his fingertips on my kissmarks, and my heart skipped a bit when he leaned forward, placing soft kisses on each of them. ''I hope you feel better now...''My thoughts were in disarray as he pressed another kiss onto my collarbone, seemingly healing all the marks he had left.''Enzo, please...'' I pleaded, my hands resting on his shoulders, torn between pulling him closer and pushing him away.He stopped, shooting me a playful look. ''Are you scared that Riza will hear you moan and find us?''My cheeks reddened at his words. ''There must be some misunderstanding...'' I countered, turning away from him. ''For your information, I do not moan...''Enzo slightly chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. ''Really? But you just did. Didn't you hear yourself just now?''I shook my head. '

Chapter: The seekerChapter 111Reese''Now, you're the seeker, Leese!'' Riza laughed as she scampered off to hide.Later that afternoon, following Riza's return from school, we engaged in a game of hide and seek. It was my turn to count, and I pressed my forehead against the living room wall, counting from one to ten, while Riza sought a hiding spot. A subtle smile crept onto my lips.Once my counting ceased, I surveyed the room. Judging by the sounds, Riza hadn't strayed far.''Riza...'' I called out, grinning. ''Where are you, my baby?'' I playfully teased, beginning my search around the living room.Embarking on a hiatus from the limelight to share a life with Lorenzo Carter, I hadn't anticipated the sheer delight my heart would experience, frolicking with such a spirited little one.Feeling grateful for everything that had happened, I was still troubled by the thought of Enzo keeping secrets from me, making me question if marrying him was the right decision.What would Troy think about me marrying h

Chapter: Why?!Chapter 110ReeseBefore I realized it, tears were cascading down my cheeks, and Enzo drew me into a tight embrace. I wept uncontrollably, my face pressed against his chest, my arms wrapped tightly around him.I had never allowed myself to be so vulnerable in front of anyone, and it was ironic that Enzo was the person comforting me right now as I fell apart. My shoulders trembled, and my cries filled the room.I was unaware of how much time had passed as I wept, occasionally fearing Enzo might leave me. Yet, he stayed, holding me closer with each tear I shed.Noticing my depleted strength, he lifted me up and walked towards the bed.He sat down, settling me on his lap, and continued to embrace me as I continued to cry into his chest.And gradually, I began to release my hold.**********This morning's breakfast consisted of pancakes, bacon, and eggs. Although they seemed delicious to my mind, my stomach disagreed.In fact, it was my heart that felt uneasy, to the point where I lost my

Chapter: ComfortChapter 109Enzo''May I attend my daughter's birthday party?'' Vincent implored, his eyes beseeching as he gazed at me.''I'm sorry, Dad, but I've only invited her close friends to surprise her...'' I replied. ''I think she'll be confused if she sees you there again...''I understood my father-in-law's feelings; he simply wanted to be part of Reese's significant life events, just as he was at our wedding. It was I who asked Vincent to walk Reese down the aisle, and he couldn't have been happier.''What if Reese wonders why I'm the one walking her down the aisle?'' I remember Vincent asking me on the day of our wedding, his voice tinged with worry yet laced with excitement.''Don't worry about it...'' I reassured him, patting his shoulder. ''I'll explain that you're the closest elder I have in my life right now...''Thankfully, Reese never questioned it.I also made it clear to Vincent that we couldn't force Reese to remember everything like what the doctor said, and I was relieved he

Chapter: The DaughterChapter 108Enzo''It's true...'' Troy's mouth fell open in shock as he realized Mandy wasn't Reese's biological mother. With each word he read, his frown deepened. ''Mandy isn't her real mother. She even abducted her with her lover...''The thought of Reese suffering at Mandy's and her lover's hands made me clench my fists, and grit my teeth in rage. I couldn't help but hold the man before me responsible for everything that had happened to her.''But why?'' Troy's expression was one of confusion. ''Why would she do that to her?''I had no idea why Mandy had kidnapped Reese. My assumption was that Reese had caught her with her lover, and perhaps threatened to expose them to Troy.''I need your help to put Mandy behind bars...'' I declared to Troy with a commanding tone.Hesitation flickered in his eyes as he met my gaze. He was still in love with Mandy after everything he found out. It was clearly written in his eyes. But I don't care about him. I just wanted to give Reese the justice

Chapter: The resultChapter 107Enzo''I'm so sorry...'' Troy Byers stammered as he knelt before me, his face drenched with tears. ''I didn't know you were Mr. L. Carter. I...'' he faltered, his lips quivering. ''I'm so sorry, Mr. Carter...''''Stand up...'' I commanded, rising from my seat and straightening my suit before approaching him.Yet, Troy stayed on his knees, bowed his head, and grasped at my legs when I finally got closer to him. ''I'll do anything, everything, just to remain in your company. Please don't fire me, Mr. Carter, please!''Observing his tears, I recognized his pitiful state. He was unworthy of Reese's affection. He didn't deserve Reese even in the slightest.''Do you know where Reese goes?'' I inquired, my hands balling into fists at my sides as I gazed down at him, noting how his hair fell over his eyes. His hair, now longer, did not complement him. It made him appear unkempt and disheveled.Troy shook his head. As he began to speak, I stopped him with my palm and motioned for h
