Via stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her blouse and smoothing down her hair. Today was the day of her first job interview since returning to the Philippines, and she couldn't help but feel a mixture of nerves and excitement fluttering in her stomach.Taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, Via glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost time to leave, but before she could head out, there was one more thing she needed to do."Jaydee, Kaydee, come here please!" Via called out, her voice echoing through the house.Within moments, her twins came running into the room, their faces bright with excitement. "Yes, Mommy?"Via smiled at her children, feeling a swell of love in her chest. "Mommy has to go out for a little while, but Aunt Cassie and Uncle Collin will be here to take care of you, okay?"Jaydee and Kaydee exchanged a glance, their brows furrowed in confusion. "Where are you going, Mommy?" Jaydee asked, her voice filled with concern."I have a job interview," Via expla

After Via left the company building, she practically floated on air as she made her way back home. The excitement of her successful interview fueled her every step, and she couldn't wait to share the news with Collin and Cassie.On her way, she passed by a doughnut shop which reminded her about the kids. She bought the twin’s favorites along with coffees for her brother and Cassie. A good news would call for a celebration, so they should hear it along with good food!As she entered their home, she found Collin and Cassie chatting in the living room, their heads close together in conversation. They looked up as she walked in, and she couldn't help but grin at the anticipation in their eyes.“How was it, Vi?” Collin asked as he was no longer able to wait for Via to drop the news."I got the job!" Via exclaimed, unable to contain her excitement any longer. "SA Group offered me the position, and I start next week!"Collin's face broke into a wide smile, and he jumped to his feet, envelopi

As the morning sun painted the sky in hues of pink and gold, Via bustled around the kitchen, humming a tune as she packed a picnic basket with sandwiches, fruit, and homemade cookies. The smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, mingling with the sweet scent of the cookies baking in the oven."Mommy, are we going on an adventure today?" Jaydee asked, her eyes shining with excitement as she skipped into the kitchen, her favorite stuffed elephant tucked under her arm."Yes, sweetheart, we are," Via replied with a smile, her heart warming at the sight of her daughter's enthusiasm. "We're going to the zoo!""The zoo?" Kaydee echoed, bounding into the kitchen while still rubbing his eyes. His sister was too excited after she smellednthe delicious aroma of the cookies and she made sure that he would also be wide awake to be with her. "That's awesome," he yawned.Via nodded, her own excitement growing as she watched her children's faces light up with joy. "That's right! We're going to

Though going to the zoo had been fun enough, Via wanted to make the most of the time left for her to wholly spend with her children. Once she started working, it would be a bit more difficult to always play around with the kids. As a solution, Via planned their next destination.Via sat down with Jaydee and Kaydee, a map spread out in front of them as they excitedly discussed their next adventure."Alright, kiddos, where do you want to go next?" Via asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement.Jaydee's eyes lit up as she pointed to a colorful area on the map. "How about the amusement park, Mommy? I heard Uncle Collin talk about how fun the amusement parks here were!"Kaydee nodded enthusiastically, his face lighting up with anticipation. "Yeah, and he said they have a large Ferris wheel! Can we go, Mom?"Via smiled at her children's excitement, her heart swelling with love. "Of course we can, my little adventurers! Let's go have some fun!"With that, they packed up their picnic basket,

"Olivia, there's a call for you from the CEO's office," Jessica called her after she answered the phone."Maybe that's about the file Mr. Rodriguez told me to deliver yesterday. I'll go there!" Via enthusiastically went to the CEO's office."You're here," Cathy, the CEO's secretary, welcomed her with a smile. "The CEO had a few questions about the proposal from the HR department.""Sure. May I enter the office now?" Via smiled when Cathy opened the door for her.Via stepped into the office and was immediately struck by its imposing atmosphere.

"What got you smiling, Via?" Jessica teased when she noticed Via's mood after meeting with the CEO. "You noticed Mr. Nakamura's gorgeous looks? Ain't he dashing?"Via blushed as her eyes widened. "What are you saying?""What?" Jessica giggled. "Mr. Nakamura's appearance is to die for! Everyone wants to be noticed by him since he is also very single!""I don't know what you're talking about." Via shook her head as she laughed at her workmate’s teasing. "I was just doing my job.""Oh, come on, Via," Jessica said, nudging her playfully. "I saw the way you came out of his office. Your cheeks were pink, and you had that little sparkle in your eye.""You're imagining things," Via insisted, though she couldn't help the smile that tugged at her lips."Sure, sure," Jessica said, rolling her eyes. "But just so you know, you're not alone. Every woman in this office has a crush on him, even some of the married ones. He’s like a real-life prince charming with those suits and that smoldering gaze."

“Dad…” Via’s lips trembled as she called for the familiar man before her. He was still the same. She would always find him seated in his working area whenever she went to his office. Her father's head snapped up at the sound of her voice, and there was a stunned silence for a moment. Then, in a move that took her completely by surprise, he stood up and hurried over to her, enveloping her in a tight hug. Via froze, her body stiff with shock. She couldn't remember the last time her father had hugged her like this, with such raw emotion. "I'm sorry, my child," her father whispered, his voice thick with regret. The tears threatening to spill finally broke free, streaming down her cheeks. She had never expected to hear those words from him, words she had longed for all these years. With just those words, all the fear and the pain that she thought she had forgotten was completely washed away.

“Did you wait long?” Cassie asked when she saw Via waiting near the entrance of the subdivision.“No. I just arrived here.” Via entered her best friend’s car, and Cassie started maneuvering towards the main house.“I’m not really sure if this is a good thing, but I want you to know that I’ll always take your side,” Cassie assured her when she noticed her unusual silence.“How were the kids?” Via asked. Truth be told, she was not anxious about meeting her dad again. She was just worried about the kid; they were all she could think of now.“They were fine. Though they haven’t met Dad because Collin insisted that you needed to be there for him to meet them.”Via let out a sigh of relief. It was a good thing Collin was able to have their dad compromise, even just a little. She would have gone mad if the kids had ended up being hurt and she was not there.As the scenery became more familiar, nostalgia washed over her. It had been years since she last stepped foot in that subdivision, but i

But that didn't mean she would slack off—far from it. If anything, Via felt even more driven to make the most of her time at the office.Via dove into her work, tackling each task with precision and determination. She was focused, efficient, and a little competitive, pushing herself to exceed her expectations. She lost track of time as she immersed herself in her projects, the hours flying by in a blur of productivity.As the clock ticked closer to the end of her shift, Via's phone rang, jolting her out of her concentration. She glanced at the caller ID and saw her brother's name flashing on the screen. Curious, she answered the call."Hey, Collin. What's up?" Via greeted him, trying to mask the hint of anxiety in her voice."Hey, Via. I need you to come to the main house after work," Collin said,
