Alejandro Pov...Our parents teach us not to outsmart anyone and disrespect them. They make sure that we are neutral in everything, especially in marrying. Dad always told me that I am the head and founder of my own family when I grow up. He molds me in a different way. The tough part that I learned is outside dad's teaching. It was dad Maximo's help. He raised me to become a tough and responsible man in a different way if we encounter some toxic people in the line of death whilst dad taught me to become a God's follower and always follow the law. That's why people can't read me easily.When I said yes to Cali to register our marriage it was against the teaching from my parents. I still want her parent's blessings to respect them. My parents gave their blessing already after Cali gave birth to Anicka. They can't let Anicka live in this world pathetically with a broken family and they know how much we both love each other. I don't want that to happen either. I love Cali so much that is
Cali Pov...Never been this happy and fulfilled in my life. Meeting my childhood crush and marrying him was an accomplishment for me.Giving birth to Anicka was a precious blessing sent from us. Everything started with her. I got my parent's blessing and we are living the life I've dreamed of even my sister Carla wishes to have someone like Alejandro. Who cares if he's older than me? I'd prefer that if he loves me for I am. The love Alejandro is showering is like a bed of clouds every day.Anicka is turning 2 next month and I planned to join forces with Alison as Daniel's birthday will be next month as well on a different date. Alejandro loves my idea but is scared for me but a happy wife is a happy life."Babe, why are you smiling alone? Can you share it with me?" She whined entering our room with a glass of milk in his hands. That's why I am in love with him every day. She pampered me with his love like this."Oh! I love you so much, babe!" I cried, pouting as he nears our bed. He c
Alison Pov.."Mam Alison, a customer in Los Angeles wants you to redesign their front yard and back yard. They are also asking about any suggestions you can send for their resthouse!" My secretary shouted as I am still inside the restroom. I've been stuck here for hours. I ate something that makes my belly churn."Yeah. I'll check it later. What design are they wanted actually!" I shot back."He said, with a playpen and pool, and a mini garden." She shouted back."Someone asked for a studio house as well in LA!" She added."What?" I blurted surprised. I finished my business and went out to see."Why is it LA again?" I mumbled asking myself."Mam!" She asked. I shake my head.It's been a year since I left LA. I stayed here and never step foot in LA again. For one year Dwight's parents never visited us but they called in their free time. Daddy Bernard is busy managing their business as they opened a new mall while Jack opened another branch here in California.We actually live peacefull
Jack Pov..When I saw Alison and Daniel, everything from the past reminds me quickly. The bad times and good times. I wasn't at home when Dwight left. Windle said he can find him if he will but he didn't as Dwight needed enough space for himself. I understand it because I did that as well. Look, what I got into. Leaving doesn't mean the end but the start of everything.You will find your weakness and strength. You will grow up and learn how to deal with it slowly. If I stayed in LA I am not be who I am now. I miss him, though.Thanks to Windle who came back when Dwight left. Though I'm not used to his intimidating presence I've grown with it as time goes by. Now, I felt what Alison feels about being loved by him. The way he love and protected Alison as his younger sister is envious but now I don't have to because he did the same as well. Looking forward for Dwight to come back and they will have this brotherly love we had.It wasn't my intention to mention my brother's name but I coul
Alejandro Pov...When Cali said she want to go to California my heart sank worried. I wasn't there for the whole pregnancy of our baby Anicka but she was sweet and caring before. Now her pregnancy is different, he always does what she wants. It doesn't matter if it's dangerous.I pleaded to just invite Amsion here to celebrate Anicka's birthday as they weren't here on her 1st birthday but she said no. Luckily I had a connection but I don't want people to know that. It's better to be like this, simple and ordinary.When my feet landed in California I feel uncomfortable and it was more uncomfortable when Cali chooses her family where to stay. I'd rather stay at my parent's place or at my place.When I accidentally spill my secret that even my wife doesn't know. I wasn't bragging. I just want to tell them don't bother and I don't want to be a nuisance to them knowing how odd the relationship was when Cali and I dated.When my mother-in-law asks raising her voice. I just realized I said s
Alison Pov..We didn't leave California to celebrate Daniel's eighth birthday. I booked at Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows to relax for a while and enjoy myself with family and friends. It's the perfect getaway I had for my family to refresh our bodies and soul. I choose my room overlooking the breathtaking vastness of the ocean. The ocean view is what I enjoyed the most actually and the spa. The calm shore in the daytime and the gleaming sight of the ocean at night is beautiful. I spend most of the time at the window watching the ocean before sleeping.It's true that nature can heal someone troubled deep in their hearts. Sometimes the sound of a leaf falling down when windy and the branches cracking when bumped together was like a piece of music healing a soul. I will surely come back again to this place preferably with Dwight if God will permit us to meet again.Daniel was really happy that he invited his friends. I let him do what he wants to enjoy his birthday. I chose to sit o
Alejandro Pov...The birthday party we held at Fairmont was a blast. Love that I had the chance to bond with my family again. Getting married changes everything but the heart will remain the same. Missing and loving them every day.Daniel is aloof with me but I can sense how he wanted to jump into my embrace like he used to do but something is bothering him. I know he misses his father. I approached and greet him before giving my gift to him. The word thank you was muffled staring at my gift but not in my face."Daniel do you not like me anymore?" I asked. He shakes his head still looking at the ground."If you like me why are you not hugging me? I miss you running toward me calling me daddy!" I asked again. This time he didn't respond but I heard him sniffle."Daniel, I always love you! You will away be my firstborn son. I will always be your daddy Al, don't get scared or might think I don't love you since I have my own babies. You are their big brother, so you must take care of them
Jack Pov...Visiting my business in California was just an excuse! I want to visit Alison and Daniel even though every time I see them the past is waving at me. No one's fault but everyone is claiming it was their fault.When Daniel talks about my brother my heart clenched. I can feel how much he misses him. They were just reconciled but after a year they parted again. He felt alone and lonely not having his daddies beside him. It's a pity that he will also feel the same pain his parents have. I offered help to be his dad as well. I would love to be his father figure too. Who wouldn't be he is a lovely child. Sadly I arrived at her birthday party with my goddaughter late. An unexpected meeting crashed my date.Even if the party is almost done I still went inside. Gladly everyone is still having a party blast. I watch everyone enjoying and my eyes landed on the person who makes this day happen. She was supposed to be enjoying the night with them but she seems to carry the whole world's
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
