Levi woke up with a headache. He can't even stand because his head is pulsating. Not to mention the pain he feels all over his face. He remembered what happened when he went to Gonzalo's estate and how his men beat him. He remembered why he did what he did.
"Ouch! F*ck!" Levi groaned when he accidentally wiped his face and hit his injuries.
"Goddamnit!" Levi cursed as he gets out of bed.
"Wait? How did i—she brought me home?" Levi said as he smiles so wide.
Despite the pain, he feels all over his body, Levi couldn't help but be happy. Especially when he opened the fridge and found a Tupperware with a cooked meal. His heart wanted to jump out of his because of too much joy.
[Hello, Levi? You okay, man?] Levi heard his best friend Carlson asked on the other line when he picked up the phone.
"Yeah, man. I'm fine." Levi answered while smiling.
[How's your face, man?] He asked again.
"Don't worry, Carlson. My face may be ruine
For four days, Patricia and Gonzalo have been nothing but happy. It's the longest time that they haven't fought about anything. And Patricia feels great about it. Nothing is happening between them night. Unlike before that, they will only be together in one room if they will have sex. These past four days, all they did is cuddle, talk about Tommy, and sleep."Good morning." Gonzalo greeted Patricia happily before his left hand found her chin and make her look at him. "Gorgeous," Gonzalo said before kissing her lips.Patricia's face flushed red when she saw everyone around them. Either their eyes widened in shock or they are forcing themselves not to smile. All she could do was look away. Gonzalo may have been sweet and attentive to her these past few days but he has never kissed her in front of anyone."Stop smiling, Darryl. You look like an idiot." Gonzalo said while walking towards the kitchen. Darryl's face suddenly became serious as he scratches the back of
Angela's life in prison became more comfortable after Gilbert declared her to be under his protection. Nobody dared to stand in her way or act tough in front of her. They now respect her and treat her like a boss. That gave Angela the sense of dominance that she never felt in her entire life."Out of the way. Out!" Angela yelled at the female inmates mopping the hallway floor. It's work time for the inmates but not for Patricia."Tss! Gilbert's b*tch." One of the inmates who's mopping the floor whispered."What did you say?" Angela angrily asked her."Hey, Princess. Your dad says hi." Angela was about to push the female inmate but someone behind her grabbed her attention. When she turned around to face whoever interrupted her, Angela's face was welcome by a left gook punch."Don't think for a second that because Gilbert made you his b*tch, you will be the queen inside this correction facility. You have no idea how we work here. So I suggest you lay

Tasha is the one assigned to oversee Valenzuela's estate and take care of Tommy. Gonzalo doesn't want anyone near Patricia unless it's a nurse or a doctor. But even they are closely monitored. Tasha understands why Gonzalo suddenly turned paranoid. He tasked his men to accompany her so they could protect her. And it's still wasn't good enough."Hey, there little one. Aren't you a heartbreaker?" Tasha greeted Tommy when he arrived at the living room in his electric car with his nannies."I'll prepare his food, Ms. Tasha." One of the nannies excused herself."Ms. Tasha, who do you think would do such a thing to Ms. Patricia? She's a good person, I couldn't think of a reason why someone would want to hurt her, let alone kill her." Yaya Elena voiced out her thoughts."I don't know, too. When I met Patricia in Raleigh, she was a nobody. Just some girl who was left alone by her family because they realized she's not theirs. She came from a normal family, that i
Levi buried himself to work after his hundred calls and messages have been ignored by Patricia. He was hurt and disappointed. Here he was thinking that their relationship became more. Patricia's treatment made him think that the problem is with him.Maybe his past, his womanizing is finally getting payback. Perhaps karma does exist and he's the target of it right now. Despite the purity of his intentions for Patricia, his feelings for him, it won't be enough."Sir, your best friends are outside." His secretary informed him."Send them in." He simply said. Levi is not in the mood. He's been in his office since 6:30 this morning but he hasn't finished any of his work."Levi, oh man. Have you heard the news?" Carlson ran towards him. He looked like he's about something that will rattle him."What's wrong?" Levi suddenly became curious. Carlson and Jackson looked at each other."Patricia is not ignoring you, man. She was shot. She's been in the
Gonzalo woke up at five in the morning. After doing his morning, Gonzalo went down to the kitchen to cook. He's been doing this since Patricia got out of the hospital. He wanted to make sure that everything she eats is healthy."Good morning, boss. Need help?" Darryl asked when he saw Gonzalo in the kitchen. He just got back from running and was about to drink some water."Nah," Gonzalo simply said as he chopped the ingredients he needed.In the middle of his preparation, Gonzalo stopped as he remembered the first time he fell in love. It was one of the happiest days of his life. But because of his father, he lost that happiest even before he could fully taste it."Good morning!" Patricia greeted him in a lively tone. "Hmm, fruits. Yum!"Gonzalo snapped out of his thoughts and smiled as she picked little pieces of fruits he chopped."How are you feeling?" Patricia stopped chewing the food inside her mouth and looked at him. Then Gonzalo look

Early in the morning, one of Gonzalo's servants knock on their bedroom door. There was a delivery dropped off at the gate addressed to Gonzalo's name. It was a sealed long wooden box, only larger than a coffin by one or two inches. Nobody touched it yet, because they were all waiting for the two bosses to come down. A putrid smell is coming out from the box, and all of them are too familiar in such smell. The moment Gonzalo and Patricia came down to the living room, they immediately gave the order to open the wooden box. And, no matter how strong their stomachs are, seeing what was the content of the box rattled them. "Oh, God! That's Benson." One of their men exclaimed. "I'm going to skin those bastard alive!" Another one yelled out of anger. "Calm down, boys. This is a good thing. He is running on blind rage, and his tripping. A rabid animal is easier to hunt because they don't have strategy anymore. They are working on rage." "Does that mea

They always meet every night in front of the kid's house. They would eat snacks, and exchange stories.Even the kid's parents met Levi, and loved him immediately. He felt like having his parents back. Feeling the love of a mother, and a father, who would give advice about life. Being born as a privileged kid made him blind to the struggles of people born in the lower class of society.

-Flashback-What does being a father means? Is it providing everything that your family needs? Or maybe giving them a home that can call their own? Perhaps, loving them is enough? But, is it right that a father was a son first? With a mother who loved him more than anyone in this world? A woman who taught him how to be a man with dignity, compassion, and love?What would a man do if he was placed in a situation where he needs to choose?

However, there unforeseen events that occurred, and one sassy response led to insults, until the first shot was fired. Bloodshed was indeed unavoidable."Oh, my God! Are you okay?""It's not my blood. I'm fine, babe.""Thank God."Deborah hugged Gilbert after ensuring that he wasn't hurt. The moment that her heartbeat turned to normal, she remembered her surprised. The memory of Gilbert's look when he said having a child is his greatest dream is still fresh in his mind."What are you doing?" Gilbert asked in confusion while watching her rummage through her back."Here,""What is—you're—is this—"Deborah smiled widely after seeing his reaction.
