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
Alejandro Pov..When Cali's parents proposed that we get married my mind went blank. I thought they will scold me or might get another cold shoulder from her but it was the opposite.I was mentally blacked out for 30mins same with Cali. It was a damn surprise she brought us early in the morning. For us we don't want a grand wedding but she insisted. We tried to retort but she get the wrong idea.We argue until we arrived home. Daddy Carlo is confused staring at us."Mom it's not that we don't want. I love to! I want to show the world she is my wife, we just don't want any grand wedding just to clear rumors. I supported Cali from when she was young until now. Nothing changed." I stated to stop her from thinking negative vibes."It's not grand Alejandro. It looks grand to you but it's just a simple wedding. I -" She is struggling to say what actually she wanted. I'm not damn not to understand. She wants to attend the wedding and walk Cali through the aisles. She misses that when we choo
Alison Pov...Jack's arrival makes our home jolly again. The laughter that we missed was voided because of him. We couldn't contain our happiness laughing, playing, and watching movie series but a piece of unexpected news ruined everything we had for just a day.My body freeze unable to respond to anything even my mind went blank staring at the breaking news happening here in California. I couldn't blink and don't want to miss anything. When I already snapped to my senses Daniel and Jack are already packed to leave. I followed them just wearing my pajamas and slippers. I don't care what do I look like, all I want is to see him immediately!A lot of questions running through my head! Why he was here? What is he doing in California? What happened to that accident?When we arrived at the hospital I'm spacing out. I snapped out when my brother called looking at me stunned. I looked at myself and realized I have dressed appropriately in public. He hissed removing his jacket and covering my
Laude Pov...When Alison asked to leave I have no choice but to accept her decision. Change is really inevitable most of the time now but I didn't expect Linda and Alison to hire Elisa.I want to run when I saw her sitting on Alison's desk. I thought she was just here to infiltrate me but it was just my fucking imagination.Alison hired her to help Linda while he was away. She knows she will be leaving longer this time! I want to rant at her for not informing me beforehand but I bite my tongue. Alison chooses to leave to breathe.I did my best to work with her comfortably until one day I woke up looking for her. For almost more than a year she was with me most of the time. I learned who she was and how sweet she is as well. I'm getting used to her presence and she stops acting weirdly and never called me pinky boy which is odd and I kinda like miss it.I smiled thinking about how I met her. It wasn't the best day of my life but she manages to have me on her fingers that day. I still d
Cali Pov...After the stressful birthing I had, finally, I could have a grip and hug her. She's adorable just like Anicka but a bit strong. Anicka was gentle in my belly until now while baby Alexandra wasn't. Her kicks always make me cry and whined most of the time. I couldn't sleep properly as well.I just woke up looking around. No one is in my room. I sadly look at the empty chairs. Where are they? Are they focused on baby Alex? The reality of life! Babies were more interesting than your children.I'm still whining while lying when the door quietly opened."Mom!" I cried."Oh! Sweetheart, you're awake! How do you feel?" Mom asked."Sore and body aches! I want to see my baby and where is my happy pill?" I bite my lip asking her. She rolled her eyes."He's with Alison. Alejandro saw her last night terrified and agitated in the hallway. I didn't have the chance to talk to her as we are all busy with you." Mom explained."Why is Alison here? Is she excited to see Alexandra as well? Tha
Windle Pov...When I heard about Dwight's accident I didn't waste any time fixing my schedule as soon as possible. I've used to flying suddenly on my business. I had a private jet if I want to but I change the rule when dad give me the title. I only used the jet for emergency purposes and other businesses urgently needed my presence. I don't use it with pleasure like every businessman who owns one!Dwight doesn't know that aunt Leslie is sick since he left and now this kind of news will break her heart. I called Jack to take care of anything and to wait for me until I settled everything here.Laude was supposed to come with me but we can't leave the business at the same time as we had a lot of commitments though Linda can do the job like Alison, still someone needs to be here. I feel sorry for him as I've been always caught up in my family problems. Situations are always crucial and intimidating."Buddy I'm sorry! After everything surely you can rely on me.!" I hiss sorry. We are supp
Carla Pov...Since my sister finds happiness I'm jealous enough of being the bitchy sister she has. It wasn't an intentional rant. I just can't stop myself every time I see them. Their life is the kind of life that I dreamed of. Traveling was my scapegoat and way to find myself and what I am looking for. Coming home wasn't my choice and I hated much but today that feeling was reversed. I wanted a man like my brother-in-law. He is a family man and woman protector. Since I had the chance to meet him, I always feel jealous. Where can I find another like him? He is a man who has one word and preciously loves my sister like a diamond.I left my sister's room to check on Alexandra excited and didn't notice there was a man coming my way bumping into him. I expected to fall to the ground with a loud thud but he was so quick to grab my wrist. The slow-motion grip he was makes my heart flutter. I lift my gaze to look at his face and it was a perfect beautiful sight to watch all day. He was like
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
