Alison Pov... My mind is on haywire, spiking my anxiety again. These worries were not helping me, but torturing me slowly. I couldn't relax thinking of Dwight and Daniel. I have forgotten my responsibilities since we reconciled. The business and Daniel, I won't blame him if he loathes me! The last thing I want to be is drowning with depression again. Everything that was happening is killing me with depression. I need to meditate to relax my body and mind. My soul is struggling too much, unable to bear it. I can't be sick! I can't be! I pulled Cali to sit comfortably on the ground to meditate. She was confused, but when I explained, she followed my gestures. As I started to close my eyes, my body started to calm down, slowly clearing my thoughts. The inner peace I had was lifted up again, pushing all the positive thoughts circulating my whole body. I slowly felt energised and felt light. The feeling of renewed again floating in the thin air was dynamic and beautiful. I recollect eve
Bernard Pov...The day I learned Windle was my older son, I let him enter my house and our life freely. He deserves to have what I have even though he doesn't need it. He already has everything! I might be the person begging for some. I'm happy he didn't loathe his brothers. Instead, he watched them without my permission. I didn't complain nor question his intentions, as I can see it was for their own good. Leslie didn't speak up her opinions either. That's why I love her. She is not a woman who is pushy. She is really the light of our house, just like Alison!I can see my younger version towards him. He can put Dwight on the right track. It's just his anger issues were bothering me. I hadn't seen him fully mad yet, but I had already heard before that he had tripled my anger. Leslie was the one who helped me overcome my anger issues. If it wasn't for her, my life would be ruined. I learned a lot that I won't let my children stumble into that case. How could I help Windle just in case
Laude Pov... I'm a bit bothered going back to LA with Daniel. My heart flutters every time I think of LA. That place is my second home actually. What will happen if we arrive there? Is it really safe and the right choice we had or will it be another chaotic world? Before visiting aunt Lorena and uncle Allan, I prepared my gifts and to be rejected, but I was surprised Daniel was already prepared to leave. Did Alejandro call them already? "Good morning!" I greeted them. They both smiled, ushering me to sit. "Good morning as well Laude?" Aunt Lorena chimed happily. I think the ambiance is beautiful to get my worries shut off! "Uncle Laude, I am already ready." Daniel beamed, excited and happy. How can I kill his happiness? I let him sit on my lap. "Wow! That's good. I am excited to travel with you again!" I cheered, pinching his bubbly cheeks. "Have a safe flight, Laude. He was excited to see them. Alejandro just told me to pack a few clothes." Aunt Lorena explained. "It's fine a
Windle Pov...After checking the morque to see if it was really Georgina. I immediately called Dwight's doctor for his next session after the burial. I instructed Dom to look at Georgina's casket until her burial. I called her family also to inform them that Georgina killed herself before she was transported to Italy.Today is her last night, but her family never showed up. They really cast her away from their registry. She was really dead but no one bothered just to peep . I feel pity for her that she has nothing until her last breath, but how she killed herself is still a question for me. After this I need to see Justin, he is the only key, to this!We waited for another hour but still Stoneford didn't show up. I signaled my men to bury her now. I gave them enough time but they didn't bother. Once she's deep under the ground, no one will dig her grave or they will face my wrath!I stayed for a while thinking about the days when she was once my lovely wife until recently. She was alr
Dwight Pov...After my treatment with a little therapy, I finally healed. I'm ecstatic that I could run again and laugh. It doesn't matter to me if I can be the CEO again. What matters is, I can make Alsion happy this time! I didn't want to be on the bad side with my older brother as well. He is an unpredictable man. I feel his sincerity when he takes good care of me, though he's bossy and always serious! I saw him smile when he was with Alsion or Alejandro. If he was serious about watching over us, then we were doomed. He is more dangerous than dad. I am grateful to him for the effort he made for me to recover. No one could ever think about it with my family. They can pay for an expensive therapist but they still can't help me. The desolation I felt was really chaotic. My mind is on haywire, unable to process things properly. I couldn't grasp anything that was already manifested through my eyes. For me, this is my last chance to grasp and do things right. I couldn't turn back time,
Linda Pov...When Sir Laude told me to push through opening Variety Cuisine in one of Smith's properties I was hesitant, but looking at the bright side, since it was business, I've agreed and processed what is needed quickly. Now we are reaping a good profit without knowing it! Rejecting Smith to be part of Dwontown Community was an unexpected result as well. I doubt Sir Laude was a part of it but if he was, that's beyond my control. I am just an assistant, he truly trusts that I don't want to lose it..Working with Alison was also the best I had so far and it saddened me to see what she had gone through coming here. She's a tough woman to overcome all of that! I could not imagine being tough if I was the person fighting in those inevitable circumstances.I am not a person who is nosy as well to someone else's life. I thought she was Sir Laue's fiance before. When I was in California, they were a lovely couple to be envied of, but they were just friends. How I wish I could have one pe
Dwight Pov...Getting back with Alison is a match heaven that I never dreamed of. I admit that I am enjoying every moment we are together. Dad asked me if I was ready to go back, but I pleaded to give me enough time to compensate Alison and to show her how much I cared. She said yes when I asked her to get married now, as I couldn't wait for another year. I really regretted divorcing her before, the pinch in my heart that day was a sign that I'd lost a diamond in exchange for bronze. I should not disregard that feeling. They say women's instincts were always right. Then maybe our hunch and slight shake of feelings when we are in a serious matter is also right.Our love is getting stronger as the days pass by, savoring every moment of it. My parents were happy that we were already happy and trying to forget the past and work out for the future. I loved that she was willing to forgive me and start over again, which is not easy for what I had done. I deserved to be dumped immediately, bu
Laude Pov... I was expecting Dwight to burst out, but it was the opposite. Change is really inevitable, but at least it's a good way, not the other way around. I held my breath when they entered the office, stunned and his eyes were automatically locked on Daniel, likewise with Daniel. The surprise shock in Daniel's face was more stressful than the horror look of his father. I didn't utter any words as I knew my voice wasn't required. I'm anticipating each in the room until he has enough courage to ask why. But as usual, Alejandro, as a protective brother and uncle, did his terrifying part that really scares Daniel. Gladly Laude got his courage to join them, the death glare Alejandro gave him was chilling but still worth it though! Baby sitting is my new hobby now! Oh it's kiddo sitting! Daniel closed his lips tightly when we went out. I was expecting him to throw me a lot of questions but he wasn't. I didn't speak, waiting for him to start a convo, but my saliva was already spoile
Alison Pov... After 10 Years... The vast of happiness immense in every one of us was undeniably blissful. Though the ten years have passed was not all about happiness. We also feel sorrow, grief, loss of love once, a twist of jobs, and changing family status! Dad Maximo died five year's ago because of prostate cancer and mom died of a heart attack three years ago. Danica had a miscarriage on her third child as well and mom Leslie right now is sick too. The most interesting part of our circle was Laude and Elisa's love story and family. It's quite interesting and funny. Ethan is the spice in their hurricane love story. They decided that it wasn't just a love affair but true love and were serious about it after Elisa give birth to another baby girl. They have four children now and they just tie the knot five years ago and it was so beautiful wedding that we ever witnessed. Maybe a BArd Pitt and Angelina Jolie style but they don't like to be compared to them as they get divorced afte
Laude Pov...When I choose to let go of Elisa it wasn't easy but I can't see her every day crying secretly in the room missing our children. I wasn't there when they grew up and I already feel attached just staring at their photos and watching their videos every day. How much to her who is attached from the very start. I admit to pretending everything is fine as the days pass by but actually I am dying inside to kiss and hug them. I'm reflecting on my past attitude toward her and I know she is punishing me. I will take her punished without remorse if this is the only way she can take me in soon.Pride can really kill us big time. I was late to mature feeling young that I don't need her when she showed how she needed me. I don't have the right to get even to her or even complained or nagged. It's the price of my arrogance! I don't know what his family is telling my children about me but I am sure they didn't even tell them I am the father.I came to work today shutting out all my worri
Alison Pov..After 5 years..A lot of things happened in our family but it was fun and interesting at the end of the journey. At least we have learned from it and know how to deal in the future. We can't also inevitably stop our family keeps on growing as well. It just started with me wanting to be loved and love with revenge until we find our branches and learned that a big family was better. It doesn't matter if it's by blood or not related as long as you know the value of love and family. We become family as we trust and love each other no matter what.Our stories can be shared for others to learn from because some stories don't have happy endings but not all bad endings are bad! We can still learn from that and know how to navigate in the future. Don't be afraid to let go of people who are toxic and keep those who value who you are!After Windle and Karla's wedding that day they moved to Italy to help daddy Maximo and build a beautiful home. Laude and I manage LA and Alejandro and
Windle Pov...I've never been excited in my life before. Georgina and I wedding before was not like this. What I genuinely feel right now is happiness from within uprooting depth in my heart. I wish I can feel what others feel like sweating, nervousness, and nauseous but no, it's a different feeling, and it's overwhelming.I love her and I can't live without her. I am excited to build a family with her just like my siblings and friends. I know Karla will be surprised by what I prepared for her. I maybe didn't say I love her too in words but I show it with my actions. I want to make sure of my feelings before I will say them. It's easy to say I love you, but hard to uphold. I'd rather be shameless at first sight and responsible at the end.I know now that I love her and I needed her in my life. No hesitation and questions it was a peaceful feeling. I can smile thinking of her and what life's stored for us to unfold in the future. Whatever it is I am already ready to face it because I a
Dwight Pov...It's been two months since Windle find out about Karla and he chose to love and protect her which we didn't expect. Uncle Maximo was also elated to find out that his son finds a woman who understand and loves him. He comes over and asks them to get married while he still breathing scaring Windle and bring uncle Max to the hospital even though he said his fine! He will just be comfortable and relaxed if he finds out. Fortunately uncle Max was really fine and his prostate cancer never come back. Windle scolded him for scaring him. Uncle Max just laughs at his outburst, luckily he found a wife who can control him. They are a match made by the heavens!We didn't have a problem setting their wedding day and Karla isn't embarrassed to walk the aisle pregnant. Dad and uncle Maximo sets the date in June and find a resort. It was just a repeating scene with Cali and Alejandro, the difference is Karla wants a church or beach wedding. Windle just give in to what her woman wanted as
Windle Pov... I admit that I like Karla but my past and our age are the hindrances to why I keep it myself but I didn't know she will do something to hold onto me for a lifetime. I was crazy mad when I know she was the culprit that night but the back of my head laugh that a slender and soft woman like her can do that.I've been fighting with myself not to cross the line every time I almost forgot our boundaries but then she already build up that's why I am fucking not giving up on her. Acted like a good man to help her but actually, it's my heart's call to help her.My heart finally decided to give up the wall I built for her when I saw my babies and heard their heartbeats for the first time. It was an unexplainable feeling sweeping my soul and singing to me. I'm elated and don't know how to actually react to it but one thing is for sure. I can't live without them. Karla was the cutest and sweetest woman who crosses my path even though I am too harsh and hard on her. The boundary she
Alejandro Pov...After that terrifying incident. Cali didn't come home and chooses to live in her house for a while and I am in my house too. I want to be alone as well. I called Anicka to see what is going there. My baby girl is now a lady!Karla did not come to work for two days and Windle never called me as well. I don't know what is going on but I'm sure he is fixing this mess. He will finally have his happiness, just forget mom!I heard mom left yesterday as Cali gives her the cold shoulder she ever had from her daughter. Cali knows I am not pleased with what she did that's why she is waiting for my call but I will let her know her place also and be the first to say sorry and find me if she really loves me and misses me. Though, I miss her so much! I could sleep without her beside me, her hugs were my comfort!I hope soon mom will understand things that she can't control everything that already happened. All she needs to do is grasp on it and give the best advice she could give
Karla Pov...When Aleajdnro came into the office kicking the door my breath hitched. His aura was too dark, intimidating, and eerie. They say you can read someone through their eyes but what I saw was madness! I was frozen standing there looking at him as he walk towards me. I'm scared that he will hurt me or more than what a naked eye couldn't see but it was the opposite. I was struck dumbfounded when he lash out and checked on me. I couldn't speak shocked just staring at her. I didn't expect mom to lash on him without asking me what exactly happened. When mom slaps me I felt Windle's body shiver in anger as his grip on my arms expresses the strength of his annoyance and anger. I don't want him to flip out that's why I spilled the truth that no one should know but I wasn't aware that some of the people in the room already knew.When I said I rape him! The room becomes as quiet as the wind passes by. They were all dumbfounded and mouth agape staring at me. Mom didn't expect me to do
Cali Pov...It's my first time seeing Windle growl like a beast. I heard about him before but it didn't give justice to what I saw today. It seems he is ready to eat us alive, especially mom who accused her of something he didn't do! I feel like all the hair in my body was raised shocked and traumatized. I just realize only Alison and Alejandro know Windle. If I don't know anything probably Karla hasn't yet.I was pissed at Karla that's why I called mom but didn't expect mom to come over and straight to her office and so something beyond. If mom is inconsiderate and forgets the proper way how to interrogate then Karla is out of the blue as well. Why would she curse and yell at mom because of him? How deep is her love for Windle that she wants to sacrifice everything even her beloved career just to have a grasp of it even a bit of him?I can't still move on the word I rape him! Every time I remember it, I feel goosebumps shivering. She's really insane and scary! What happened to her wh
