Meanwhile, Amy, staying in her small home, didn’t know how to handle the situation. It wasn’t just about that one night—it was about their child. Zack was the father of the baby she was carrying, but she didn’t know if she could trust him, especially with another woman in his life.While watering the plants, Amy suddenly noticed a man in the distance, someone unfamiliar. She felt a wave of anxiety and quickly went inside the house, locking the door and peeking outside to see if the man was still there.That night, as she gazed at the stars, Zack's words kept playing in her mind: “I'll take care of you two.” But how could she trust Zack? It wasn’t just about her anymore; it was about the baby growing inside her.Despite all the emotions swirling around her, Amy decided to try and sleep early. But before she could drift off, there was a knock on her door. When she opened it, there stood Zack—drunk, smelling of alcohol, and seemingly out of control. "Zack, what are you doing here?" Amy a
As Amy stepped out of their house, she couldn’t shake off the unease at what she had seen. “Where is he?” she whispered to herself, the anxiety clear in her voice. Deep down in her heart, she knew that the person she had seen was none other than her father.Upon re-entering the house, she sat on the sofa, continuously thinking about the scene. Amy couldn’t help but tear up as she considered the possibilities. At that moment, Zack arrived and found her crying.“Hey, what happened?” Zack asked, concern etched on his face. He sat next to Amy and gently held her hand, as if trying to comfort her. “I-I saw him,” Amy stammered, then slowly recounted everything she had seen.Zack listened quietly, giving his full attention to Amy as she narrated. When he noticed that Amy had fallen asleep on his shoulder, he carefully lifted her and took her to the bedroom so she could rest.While Amy slept soundly, Zack made a call. “Can you roam around in this place now? If you find someone suspicious, jus
The next day, Amy still felt heavy, but she tried to carry on with her normal routine. She was still confused by what she had seen—the image of her father, a person who had long been absent from their lives, continued to haunt her mind.As Amy looked out the window of their living room, she sensed something strange. Memories flooded back of the days when all she could think about was the death of her parents. She felt pain again, but alongside it, there was also longing. Amy couldn’t fully comprehend that her father was alive.Suddenly, her phone rang. She glanced at the screen and saw Zack’s name. She quickly answered the call.“Amy, I need to talk to you,” Zack’s serious voice came through the line. “Come to the office this afternoon.”“Why, is something wrong?” Amy asked, her heart racing at Zack’s tone.“This is an important matter. I’ll have my driver pick you up,” Zack told her, prompting Amy to hurry with what she was doing. She only had to wait a few hours, and soon the car ar
“What do you mean, Zack?” Amy asked, her voice clearly confused. She couldn't fathom what Zack was trying to convey with his words.“Tell me, Amy, what really happened that day?” Zack’s voice was full of determination, waiting for answers. As much as Amy wanted to tell everything, it felt as if her memories of that day had vanished, leaving only fragmented pieces. But she knew she had to try to remember that night to give Zack the truth he was seeking.FlashbackAmy's family was happily chatting at their home that day. Their love and happiness were evident, as well as the affluence of their lives.“Hon, stop! Don’t tickle me,” Amy's mother, Victoria, laughed as she tried to fend off the tickling.“No! I won’t stop! Hahaha,” replied her father, who seemed even more encouraged to tease Victoria, continuing to tickle her. Their laughter filled the house with joy, as if there were no problems in their world.“Dad! I want to join! Up, up, up!” little Amy shouted cheerfully, looking up at h
Amy's vision darkened as she and Zack descended in the elevator. He was holding her, his body trembling with worry. It felt like his heart was sinking with each step they took down. The pain Amy was feeling was unbearable. "Amy, don't fall asleep, okay?" Zack said firmly, clearly anxious in his voice. But all Amy could do was give in. She completely lost consciousness in his arms.Hours later, Zack had brought Amy to the hospital. Waiting there was his brother, Quen, looking confused by Zack's sudden arrival. "Brother, what are you doing here?" Quen asked, concern etched on his face as he looked at his brother. "Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"Zack struggled to speak properly. Anger and anxiety were evident on his face as he stammered, "Q-Quen, help her." His hands were shaking, and his eyes were ablaze with worry.When Quen saw that Zack's hands were covered in blood, his gaze seemed to freeze on them. He didn't know how to react—he felt more than just confusion. It was
When Amy opened her eyes, she was greeted by a white ceiling. She immediately noticed the smell of antiseptic, making her realize she was in the hospital. A familiar voice caught her attention from the side of her bed, and when she looked, she saw Zack. The events from earlier slowly returned to her mind, so she quickly reached for her stomach.Zack saw her movement, and with the sadness etched on his face, he knew there was heavy news. Confused by Zack's reaction, Amy weakly asked, "Zack, w-what happened?"Zack didn't answer immediately but stared at Amy with profound sorrow in his eyes."A-Amy, I'm sorry," he stammered. As he spoke, tears began to fall from Amy's eyes. "Z-Zack... is my baby okay?" she asked, holding her stomach and desperately seeking a connection to her child.Amy began to panic in the room, repeatedly asking Zack what had happened. But Zack remained silent, seemingly unable to provide the answer Amy was searching for."Z-Zack... I'm asking you, please... I'm beggi
As Amy slept soundly in the hospital, Zack couldn't shake the thought of how much pain Amy must have felt upon learning that their baby was gone. Even though it had only been two months, Zack could clearly see how much Amy loved their child, even though it had not yet come into the world. Zack’s phone suddenly rang, and he saw that it was Vanessa calling. His expression darkened immediately, but he still answered the call. "Babe! Seriously? You didn’t show up," Vanessa complained, her voice filled with annoyance. "You really chose that woman over me? Oh my gosh, Zacky!" “Where are you?” Zack asked coldly, cutting off Vanessa’s rant. "I'm at your house. Tita’s here," Vanessa replied nonchalantly. Zack ended the call, barely containing his anger. He turned to his brother and said, “Quen, can you stay here for a while? I’m just going to fix something.” The anger on Zack's face was evident as he walked away. "Sure, Kuya, no problem," Quen replied without looking up from the book he w
While Zack was on his way home, he couldn’t help but remember Amy and the loss of their child. The pain seemed to come rushing back when he realized that his child was gone, just like that. He couldn’t accept that because of Vanessa, an innocent life—his and Amy’s child—was lost.When Zack arrived at his parents’ house, the maid greeted him. "Where’s Mom?" he asked, trying to suppress his anger."Oh sir! She’s in the garden, with your girlfriend," the maid replied."Alright, thank you, Manang," he responded coldly before heading to the garden. As he got closer, the intensity of his anger grew. Vanessa, the woman he once loved, was the reason his child was gone.When he saw Vanessa, he couldn’t control his rage. He wanted to ask why she could celebrate while causing pain to others. Why did his child have to die because of her?"Vanessa!" he called out angrily. Vanessa turned to Zack, smiling. "Ohh, hi babe!" she greeted happily, completely oblivious to the pain she had caused him. She
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. 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
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
