Ella was glad to get her old job back, it felt refreshing to get back into a familiar routine. Mr Chen was sceptical at first because he was reluctant to let go of the new girl Miranda who had taken over after Ella's wedding but in the end he decided to let all three of them stay.

Ella was determined to not let anything get in the way of her moving on but she kept making mistakes and mixing up orders; it's a good thing Mr Chen was hardly ever seen at the coffee shop or he'd have lost his faith in her. Lani had to send her out for some fresh air.

"Maybe you should stay back for a while Ella." Lani suggested.

"I can't Lani, I need to move on, I need to work so I don't go crazy." Ella admitted.

"See, that's the whole point, you can't keep working yourself to oblivion and pretend like nothing happened you'll end up getting sick."

"Don't argue with me Lani i'm not in the mood." Ella snapped suddenly.

"Fine suit yourself." La

    Bryan you startled me!" Ella placed a hand against her chest at the sight of Bryan just as she was locking up the café. "What are you doing here?""I had a feeling something was wrong so here I am." he smiled kindly. Ella searched his face for any hint of a joke but was surprised that he was actually serious."Are you a magician or something?" She jokingly asked through her raspy voice."I'm simply a friend who cares." he said. "Come, i'll take you somewhere you'll feel better." he assured her. It was a bit unnerving to have him show up at the moment she was having a breakdown but Ella must admit that she was beginning to see him as a pillar of strength. She didn’t protest then as she got into his car and he brought them to the park and took something long from the back seat of the car that vaguely looked like a golf club. Bryan made her sit down and opened the bag where he took out a guitar."I didn't know you played the guitar.""I've played i

    "How are you feeling Idad?" Ella asked as she got into the room and sat at the edge of the bed and took hold of Idad’s frail hand."I'm fine my dear there's no need for you to do all these." Idad complained referring to the pottage Ella brought."What do you mean there's no need? I want to take care of you just like you took care of me in Putrajaya when I got a fever remember?""I remember all that, but you're forgetting one thing though.""What’s that?""Dylan was the one who took care of you dear, he was up all night just to make sure you were okay. I've never seen such devotion."Ella looked away, no matter how hard she tried to not think about him or talk about him she finds herself surrounded by things and people who reminded her of him and who wouldn't stop talking about him.Idad placed her bony hand on Ella’s soft ones forcing her to look at the older woman."I know how much he's hurt you dear but

    A loud horn pulled Ella out of her reverie, she turned and saw Dylan pull over in front of her. It was drizzling but she'd been too distracted to notice."Get in." he said.Ella hesitated but quickly figured there was no harm in accepting a ride from him. He drove off as soon as she settled in, they were both silent. Ella stole a sideways glance at him, his expression was serious as he concentrated on the road ahead he didn't look so bad tonight she thought and then wondered what his reaction would be when he finds out about Idad, Dylan already sees the charming woman as part of his family, nevertheless, the truth might still hurt."You must be wondering how is it that I am so extremely good looking right?" Dylan suddenly said with a smug smile, trust him to say something like that."You wish." Ella murmured. Dylan grinned and pulled the car to a stop in front of the house. "Goodnight Dylan." She said and began to climb out of the car when Dylan held her ha

    Ella heard a low whistle behind her then someone saying, "look what we have here. Hey Dino i've got a pretty one here!" her heart jammed in her throat as she realised it was so late and no one might be able to save her. She hiked her bag up all the way to her shoulder and tried to look unaffected by their jeering she began to walk briskly only to find one of them blocking her exit, she reared back in fright and felt fear like she had the day she was kidnapped by those loan sharks, if Dylan hadn't been there to save her...oh Dylan, Ella thought miserably, was there any chance that he would be able to come to her rescue tonight? She shivered in disgust as one of the guys ran a cold finger down the side of her face and they laughed in amusement. She shut her eyes, whispering a silent prayer."Get away from her." A stern voice she didn't recognise ordered and Ella cracked her eyes open and was stunned to find none other than Ethan Villamor standing there his expression as har

    "Please don't do this Bianca." Dylan halted in front of his mother's office. It was locked but he could still make out Idad’s voice. He knew it was inappropriate to eavesdrop but his curiosity got the better of him. He placed his hand on the doorknob and twisted ever so quietly until he could finally hear clearly their heated discussion."I was very clear from the beginning," his mother said. "If you feel that you can no longer obey my orders then you're free to leave.""I know that there's no justification for what I did all those years ago and I know that you're still angry with me but I am still your mother and Dylan is my grandson you can’t ask me to leave just like...""Dylan!" Doña Bianca’s eyes rounded in surprise and Dylan was vaguely aware of pushing the door all the way and making his presence known. He glanced between the two woman in disbelief."Did I hear right?" he was facing his mother as he demanded. "Idad is my grandmothe

    Ella fiddled with her cell phone and wondered if she should call Dylan or not. She was worried about him and wanted to know how he was doing after their conversation last night. She sighed in frustration and tossed the phone onto her bed and then proceeded to get ready for work."Ate ate!" Kristina burst into the room suddenly. "Goodnews!""What is it?" She mumbled with disinterest."You got a letter from Paris." Ella’s hand froze midway reaching into the wardrobe, her heart was pounding furiously across her rib cage as she whipped around to face Kristina whose face was bright as sunshine and Ella deduced that it could only mean one thing...Ella snatched the paper from her nosy sister then impatiently scanned its contents and she was hooked at congratulation... she let out an ear splitting shriek. "I got the scholarship!""That's what i've been trying to tell you!" Ella had forgotten about the application she'd sent to a culinary school in Paris

    Bryan pulled over at the park and they both went in. Ella was surprised to find Dylan standing beside a well laid out table for two. She glanced back at Bryan."Before you think of chopping my head off I think you two should talk. You should hear what he has to say." Bryan told her and then he was gone, leaving the two of them. Ella swallowed nervously and felt butterflies take flight in her stomach. She took a deep breath before she covered the space between them and they were face to face. Their gazes locked and held."Thank you for coming." Dylan pulled out a chair for her."This is nice." She commented. "I'm glad you like it." Ella wasn't surprised to find seafood staring back at her, it reminded her of the first dinner they had together."Happy Birthday Ella. I got you something." he handed her a little box. Ella opened it and found a sapphire starfish pendant on a silver chain and she thought the jewellery was beautiful. "May i?"Ella nodded and

    Ella threw open the French doors of her room at the culinary institute in Paris and grinned towards the sunlight, it felt amazing to be out here where she'd always wanted to be for a long time now. Being here felt surreal and Ella made a silent promise to herself to do the best she can and be her best, then she walked back into the room and began to unpack when the door opened and a slim light skinned girl barrelled in."Hello my name is Eileen Alferos.""Ella Garcia." the perky girl rattled off in Tagalog and Ella knew in an instant that the two of them would get along just fine, she was glad to not be alone in this foreign city far from home.Ella was so restless she couldn't sleep a wink that night. She was nervous as hell and didn't know what to expect."You'll get over it soon." Eileen assured her as they sat for breakfast but Ella didn't think that would be happening any time soon.The room where they all assembled in was spacious and sunny and the tea

She adjusted the strap of her shoulder bag just as the lift opened at the second floor."Claire you're late." Charity's tone was reproving but Claire rolled her eyes and ignored her."Please, i'm two hours early." Charity was her friend and room mate."And why are you hanging out here? Shouldn't you be working?"Charity pointedly ignored her but then her eyes lit up suddenly and that meant she's got mischief up her sleeve."No I don't wanna hear it.""Come on, I've got this awesome dress I would like you to try on.""Try it on yourself.""I wish." She sighed wistfully. The thing charity was worried about the most was her size, she fretted over the fact that she couldn't fit into all the cute little dresses and jeans she's always wanted.Claire ran her fingers on the silky-smooth fabric.

His feelings were so intense it ignited a fire deep within her very soul. "I feel the same way about you as I did when I first met you and there's nothing you can say or do that'll make me feel otherwise."

    CHAPTER FOURThe past few days had been hectic, what with all the preparations for the wedding that they didn't have time to see each other. Today was her first ultrasound and Dominic was coming to pick her up himself. She saw his car round the corner which led to his parents' house and stopped in front of her. He got out of the car and came to where she was standing and kissed her full on the mouth. "You look lovely. " "In this?" Clara was wearing one of her mother’s old dresses which she'd mended the other day. It was old and unappealing, how could he possibly think that she looked anything but a homeless person."You look beautiful in anything."He opened the car door for her and she got in before hopped in the driver’s seat. "Make yourself comfortable, the doctor will be with you shortly." the nurse informed them before exiting the room."Do you want a boy or a girl?" Clara asked.Dominic kissed her knuckles as

" The table went silent and the only sound heard was the clatter of fork slipping from the table to the ground. "Since when?" his dad asked."My dear son, come up stairs will you?" his mother spoke after a long silence. Clara felt so exposed under their scrutiny. "Why don't you make yourself comfortable, i'll be right back." Dominic gave her hand a reassuring squeeze."What is this I hear about you being married to that girl Dominic?"His mother was the first to demand."I hope you know what you’re doing son." his father said."I know that I should've told you all sooner but I couldn't wait.""Marriage is not some game you can play anytime you feel like it."
