That afternoon, Amy and Zack returned to the office to finish the remaining tasks. While Amy was busy reading documents at her desk, Zack couldn't help but stare at her from his desk. But whenever Amy notices his gaze, she immediately returns to the papers she needs to sign."Ahmm, Zack, can I go home now?" Amy asked, looking at him at the same time."Yes, of course.Let me just finish this, then I'll take you home," replied Zack."Oh no, never mind." "I'll just take a jeepney home," Amy said shyly, thinking that she was already taking advantage of Zack's kindness, from the moment he picked her up earlier until now, when he was still going to take her home."No, Amy." "I insist, and don’t worry, their house is on the way, mom," Zack lied even though he knew it wasn't true. "Okay, if that's what you want, Zack," Amy replied, thinking it would reduce the expenses because of the high fare and she would still need to take a tricycle to get to their mansion.While Amy was waiting for Zack
While Zack and Amy were heading back from the investigator's office, Zack noticed a small flower shop by the side of the road. He suddenly thought of trying to cheer up Amy, who still looked sad because of what had happened. He parked next to the shop and smiled at Amy."Wait here for a second," said Zack before quickly getting out of the car and entering the flower shop.Amy was confused by their sudden stop and followed Zack with her eyes while he was buying flowers. After a few minutes, Zack returned carrying a bouquet of white lilies and pink roses. When he got into the car, he handed it to Amy. "For you," he said, smiling as he handed over the flowers.I thought you might need something to brighten your day.""Amy was surprised she didn't expect Zack to do this. "Zack, these are beautiful... but you really didn't have to do this," Amy said, but she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes as she accepted the bouquet."I just wanted to see you smile," Zack replied, looking at Amy. You ha
As soon as Zack arrived at Amy's house, he immediately caught Amy as she fainted. "Nay Alice, what happened?" Zack asked Aling Alice while carrying Amy to lay her down on the bed."I don't know, dear; I just heard a thud, so I rushed upstairs," Aling Alice replied to Zack. "But she said her uncle saw her," Aling Alice said. Upon hearing this, Zack suddenly recalled their first meeting."That guy, I remember him," Zack said, unable to shake the image from his mind. "Okay, Nay, I'll help protect Amy," Zack told Aling Alice, which brought her joy.A few hours later, Zack was still at Amy's house, surveying the surroundings. He took his phone and called his friend. "Roger, hey bro, I need your help," he said on the other end. "Delgado, I don't do free requests, hahaha," his friend replied."How much?" he asked, knowing his friend was a mafia boss and a talented hacker. "I have a house in Salvation," he said. "Okay, deal, I'll send the payment," Zack replied."So what's the mission?" his f
"That's okay, Zack. I know you're busy," she said to Zack. "Okay, I'll just message you when I'm on my way," Zack replied."Sure, just take your time, Zack," she told him before hanging up the phone. While Amy was looking at their balcony, she noticed a man in the distance. She saw him take something out of his pocket.He pulled out a phone as if he were about to call someone, and suddenly Amy's phone rang. When she looked, it was the number her father used to call her. She quickly answered, "Amy, my child," her father called to her."Daddy!" Amy replied, still looking at the man in the distance, and tears began to flow from her eyes. "Amy, I want to talk to you about something," her father said."Dad, please come here; let's just talk here," she pleaded with her father. "Okay, I'll come; just wait," her father answered before hanging up.Suddenly, Amy felt a surge of hope at what her father said, so she waited. Zack then messaged her that he was on his way to their house.A few hours
They entered the house to talk about what really happened that day. "Dad, what really happened that day?" she began to ask her father."That day, Amy, those people shot me in the arm and stomach," her father said. "When they left after shooting us, your mom and I, a couple passed by and helped us," he continued."I thought it was the end for me, but when I woke up the next day, I was in the hospital," he continued with his story. "I never saw your mom again," he said sadly.It was almost 8 PM when her father decided to leave for the place where he was staying. "But Dad, you can stay here," she insisted, trying to convince him to live with them again."Amy, it’s too dangerous, especially now that you've told me your uncle knows you're here," he said, furious when he learned what his brother had done to her before."Okay, Dad, I’ll agree, but you need to message me where you’re staying," she said to her father, who simply nodded. Amy walked her father to the door, and she waited until h
As Amy sat on Zack’s lap, he couldn’t resist wrapping his arms around her waist, gazing into her alluring eyes. “Z-Zack…” she murmured, her face moving closer to his, which made Zack momentarily freeze. “Amy, you’re drunk,” Zack said, trying to steady himself as her lips hovered so close to his. “N-no, I’m not,” she protested, shaking her head. “Come on, let’s get you to your room,” Zack said gently, helping her stand as he guided her toward the bedroom. When they arrived, he carefully laid her down on the bed. “Z-Zack, why is it so hot?” she mumbled, slipping out of her top, which caught Zack off guard. “Oh, come on, Amy, get dressed,” he said, though his voice was strained. “N-no, Zack, it’s just so hot…” she replied, her gaze meeting his with an intense longing. “Z-Zack… take me,” she whispered, drawing him closer as she pulled him into a kiss, which sent a shiver down her spine. “Are you sure, Amy?” he asked, his voice barely audible. Amy nodded, her eyes gleaming with des
Amy felt nervous when Aling Alice asked her about the person in the room next to hers. "Ahh, Nay, that's Zack. Those things belong to him," Amy explained to the elderly woman."Is that so? But why isn’t he there?" Aling Alice asked curiously. Suddenly, Zack came down from the second floor."Good morning, Nay," Zack greeted, glancing at Amy, who was already blushing with embarrassment."Oh, good morning to you too, son. Thank you for accompanying Amy here," Aling Alice said to Zack."Oh, it’s nothing, Nay. I actually enjoyed spending time with Amy," Zack replied, lowering his voice on the last part so only Amy could hear."Still, thank you. By the way, Amy, what’s wrong? Your face looks so red. Are you running a fever?" Aling Alice asked Amy."N-no, Nay. It’s nothing. It’s just really warm in here," Amy answered quickly.Zack chuckled slightly at Amy's response, earning a sharp glare from her."Is that so? Alright, go and eat, the both of you," Aling Alice said. Amy sat beside Zack at
"So, Tito, how are you?" Zack asked Amy's father as they ate together at the dining table."So far, I'm good. I’ve been thinking that I should stay here with Amy," her father replied to Zack."Really, Daddy? You’re not leaving anymore?" Amy asked joyfully, tears falling from her eyes at her father’s words. Finally, her father had decided to come back for good."Why are you crying, my princess? Shh..." her father said, trying to comfort her. Amy hugged him tightly, sobbing uncontrollably."Tito, about your brother," Zack began, his tone serious."What about that bastard?" Amy’s father replied sharply, still holding Amy close."It looks like he’s the one who orchestrated the attempt on your life, Tito," Zack revealed. Amy’s father didn’t seem surprised by the information."I’ve known for a long time, thanks to your father, Zack," Amy’s father said."He wasn’t really my real brother, just my half-brother through our father," he continued, surprising Amy."What? You’re half-brothers?" Amy
While Zack was waiting outside the emergency room, he couldn't help but think about what he saw earlier. He decided to tell his brother about what he discovered in the CCTV room. “I saw Vanessa’s car,” he said to his brother.His brother was shocked to learn that Zack’s ex-girlfriend was the one who hit Amy. “What! Are you sure, Kuya?” his brother asked him. Zack nodded, prompting his brother to hold his head in disbelief at the revelation.“Yes, I’m sure,” Zack replied while looking outside the emergency room. “That bitch! First, she killed your baby, and now she’s trying to kill Amy,” his brother said angrily.“Tito, I’ll step out for a bit. I just need to do something,” Zack told Amy’s father. He then left, fuming with anger, and drove straight to Vanessa’s house. Vanessa’s parents were surprised when Zack suddenly arrived.“Zack, dear,” Vanessa’s mother said in shock. “Where is she?” Zack demanded angrily while looking around the house, hoping to find Vanessa. “She’s not here, son
"Love, hey, calm down," Zack said as he held onto his chest, feeling the fear that Amy was experiencing. Aling Alice gave her water to help her breathe more easily."Track this number, Paulo," Zack said into the phone as he made the call, while Amy's father sat beside her, worried for her. "Princess, I want you to breathe, okay?" her father said gently.It wasn't long before Amy's breathing returned to normal, thanks to her father and Zack's presence. "Did your asthma come back again, anak?" her father asked, and Amy just nodded in response."I'm sorry, Dad, I didn't tell you," Amy weakly apologized. Her father hugged her and reassured her that he understood but emphasized that she needed to share what she was feeling."I understand, Dad," Amy said. She looked at Zack and could see the concern in his eyes, especially with the threatening incident that had just happened. "I’ll find whoever that person is, love," Zack promised as he moved closer to Amy and embraced her.By 9 AM, they de
Amy was outside the house, looking at the sky when her father arrived. "Anak," her father called out, and Amy turned to him. "Dad, I thought you were already asleep," she said, moving aside from her seat."I can't sleep, I dreamt of your mom," her father said. In Amy's mind, she wished her mother were still alive. She promised herself that she would pray for it, hoping that somehow it would ease her father's sorrow over what had happened."I wish too, Dad," she said, hugging him tightly. After that, Amy went back inside so she could finally get some rest. As she lay down, her phone suddenly rang, and it was Zack. She answered the call."Hey there, beautiful," Zack greeted her, and Amy couldn't help but smile at the way he called her. "Hey, how are you?" Zack added. Amy responded that she was okay. "Should I pick you up tomorrow, love?" Zack asked."Yeah, sure," Amy replied. Zack asked about her father, and she told him that he was fine. There was a brief silence on the call, and Amy d
Zack walked toward Amy and gently held her hands. "Love, you know that, I hate making you wait. I'm sorry if I forgot about you," Zack said, his tone soft and full of regret.Amy stroked Zack's hand in response, feeling its warmth that seemed to offer some comfort to her tiredness. "It's fine, Zack. What's important is that you're here now," she said softly, trying to ease the worry in his eyes."But love," Zack moved closer and gazed at her. "I know you've been through so much lately, and I don't want to add to that," he said sincerely to Amy. You could see the concern in every word he spoke, especially since he knew how hard everything had been for her.She smiled and chuckled a little at Zack's emotional state. "You know, I've been going through a lot too, but you're the one giving me strength to keep going. So please, don't worry too much," she said, letting out a small laugh.Zack looked at Amy's face, full of love and concern. "I don't want to be away from you, Amy. Not even for
"Don't be shy, hon," Zack said to her, while she covered her face out of shyness. Meanwhile, Zack's parents were happy about the news they had learned. It was almost 10 PM when the Delgado family decided to leave their home. Suddenly, Amy's phone rang, and she answered it. "Hey, love, are you going to make it?" Zack asked her. "Not yet, I’m just thinking about something. How about you?" she replied. "I'm also in bed now, thinking about you," Zack said, which made Amy blush at his words. "You really like making me swoon," she said to Zack. "Of course, Amy. Why wouldn’t I?" Zack replied. After a while, their conversation ended, but Amy couldn't stop thinking about Zack and the fact that they were now together. For her, maybe God really had a plan for them to meet, even after the loss of their child. The next morning, Amy decided to go to Zack’s office to work as his secretary. She knocked before entering, and when Zack responded, she went in. She saw him reading some papers. "Ahm
They all went to the dining area for snacks."So, Zack, who was this girl?" Zack's father asked him."Ahm... I don’t know if it’s okay to bring that topic up here, Dad," Zack replied, glancing at Amy.Amy’s father noticed the exchange. "Tell me, Zack. Was it someone I know?" he asked seriously."Ahm, yes, Tito," Zack answered before walking over to Amy."It was Amy," Zack confessed, holding Amy’s hand. Amy’s father’s expression darkened with anger upon hearing this."You need to get married," her father declared firmly.Amy was stunned by her father’s words. "But, Dad, we can’t!" she protested, moving closer to him."Amy, he got you pregnant," her father said angrily."Yes, but that was a long time ago, Dad. My baby died... I don’t want to trap Zack into anything, especially if I know he doesn’t want it," Amy said, her voice trembling.Her words left her father speechless, and he suddenly sat down in silence. Amy, overwhelmed, walked away and headed to the garden, tears streaming down
When Amy went upstairs, she had no idea that Zack was following her."So, our wedding was already planned, huh?" Zack said, startling Amy as he spoke."Oh my God, Zack!" she exclaimed, clutching her chest. Zack gradually moved closer to her, while Amy instinctively backed away. When she was finally cornered, she couldn’t meet Zack's gaze directly."Z-Zack," Amy stammered shyly. Zack smirked and leaned in even closer to her."You look so shy, Amy," Zack said, his voice teasing. Then, without warning, their lips met."Why are you so shy, honey?" Zack asked in a gentle voice after pulling away."I-I'm shy because we were tal--" Amy tried to explain, but Zack cut her off with another kiss. At first, Amy didn’t respond, but as the kiss deepened, she found herself moving in sync with him."Amy," her father called from outside the door. Zack reluctantly stopped kissing her, and they gazed into each other’s eyes."Looks like your dad wants to talk to you," Zack said softly."Yeah, I should go
"So, Tito, how are you?" Zack asked Amy's father as they ate together at the dining table."So far, I'm good. I’ve been thinking that I should stay here with Amy," her father replied to Zack."Really, Daddy? You’re not leaving anymore?" Amy asked joyfully, tears falling from her eyes at her father’s words. Finally, her father had decided to come back for good."Why are you crying, my princess? Shh..." her father said, trying to comfort her.
