Devon Pov...Before going to the lion's den I already feel that Dwight is battling with himself about whether he will continue or not and I was right. When he turned his back out I know he was impulsive to decide again. I stop him before he could do more things he is troubled right now.He blames himself for everything and it's all bottled inside him that he couldn't breathe. He think taking it all will make things right but it wasn't. He just pushes harder making things difficult for everyone around him. We couldn't speak as we don't want him to run again and think he was the black sheep but he already think he was.When Alison's father was going around the bush. Dwight failed to hold on anymore. He collapsed and gave in to the trap Alison's father set him up. Im worried something bad might happen that I couldn't move on my seat frozen.My heart calmed when Alison's father smiled. Then it dawn on me that it was his way to break Dwight from his bottled emotions. It really helps him wi
Dwight Pov...When I woke up I was eager to meet my family again but when my foot landed in California I'm terrified for no reason. I understand my feelings when I reached their house. Everything changed from the day I met Alison and I am not the only one who hasn't changed at all.I couldn't lift my foot to proceed because I know now that I am not worth it to her. I'm ready to leave and give up but Devon stops me from regretting my decisions later. He persuades me to meet her parents for the first time. Maybe if I went alone I am dying of regret now!When we arrived in LA mixed emotions is creeping me out. I can feel anxiety visiting me again. I'm nervous running back home even though I'm not sure if she was there or they were there. My adrenaline is rushing me to jump out of the car and run inside. I really collapsed on the ground when I saw her back lying on our bed where she used to sleep sobbing. My heart cried for happiness that she was here at the same time it cries because of
Dwight Pov..After 1 year..Our lives weren't perfect as we dreamed of but they become the best that we ever had. I'm having the great day of my life with my growing family. I'm going to surprise Alison today. Today is Danika's fifth birthday and I am so blessed and grateful that I was given the chance to celebrate her birthdays as she grows old. We became the best buddies and she still calls my brothers daddy. I laugh remembering when a woman flirted with Jack at his restaurant and we are there to grab a coffee. Danika called him dad running towards him and the woman fainted shocked. I couldn't stop laughing while he was fucking dumbfounded.When we ask why she did dad. Her response was fucking hilarious."Why did you do that baby? How will uncle Jack find a wife?" I asked her."Because I don't like her. She doesn't deserve him!" She blurted out making us roar in laughter.I'm still smiling thinking of that day when my beautiful wife came in frowning."Why are you smiling alone? Did
Alison Pov....Been three years since I came back to LA and finally reunited with my family at last. This was the happiest thing that ever happened in my life after the typhoons that ran our life. We even had a two year old boy and now I am pregnant again. Dwight is ecstatic again as he dreams of having a big family with me. Now we have that beautiful perfect life. Our firstborn is already thirteen years old and Danika is eight.Now that I have a growing family, Dwight becomes extra careful and demanding. He keeps on visiting my office demanding to hire new people. Laude was losing his shit but he can't complain because of me and Windle. Now I need to hire someone to help me here before Dwight will drag me out and tell me to stay at home for good."Hello, Cali! How are you?" I squealed answering her call. "Not fine right now and can't roll on the bed because of my swollen belly. This is your brother's fault." She whined. I laughed. "Cali I don't think that would only be my brother's
Windle Pov...I visited Laude as he keeps on whining getting older just working his ass and alone. Since Alejandro get married and lived in California he became a crybaby. Alejandro leaves all the business with us. I can't stay here as I had business in Italy and needed my assistance as dad is already old to do my task. Actually, I am the busiest and can't even sit in one place. That's one thing that I am scared to settle down. I might not have time for them unlike before with Georgina.We both stop by my brother's coffee shop and stroll at the market to see what's new. We miss this thing we do in California and we miss Alejandro as well. He is busy building a basketball team. Oh! I forgot his kids were all girls. I remembered when he whined to protect them and he is alone. Laude and I promise to watch them as well though Alexandra is a kick-ass little girl. She's just a mini version of him in many aspects. That little kid has his temper as well! She can't be bullied! Just wondering w
Karla Pov...It was a blessing when I visited my sister that day. I didn't waste any time and fly to Los Angeles where Alison was.I'm excited and happy when my feet landed at LA Airport. It was surreal now but this time I am not here to do my usual life. I'm here to see Alison and check what work will she offers me.I was supposed to find a place to stay upon arriving but my excitement irked me to go to the restaurant I was told. I've patiently waited for her to come and it was worth it.While we are talking reminiscing about the past. I didn't expect an exceptional guest entering the office. Never did it occur in my mind that I will meet him again. It was too close!They entered the room freely talking like they owned the place and it was carefree. I'm awestruck to see him again. I only had a shocked glimpse of him last time but now I can see him from head to toe.He is really handsome! His damn huge perfect body is salivating. I can't wait to touch them. He is like a goddess fallin
Dwight Pov... We were busy preparing in the kitchen when my brother came home last night chilling and collapsed at the front door. I asked Laude to help me bring him to the room. He was not just chilling but had a high fever. I called the doctor to come over just when Karla came. I'm surprised to see her but Alison cut me off saying she invited her as she was alone in her apartment and promised Cali to take care of her while she was here in LA. I forgot about my brother when she came. Her presence is distractive. I let her help in the kitchen while I help the doctor to assist my brother. Mom's birthday party was full of fun and surprises. She enjoyed her 58th birthday. We exchanged birthday wishes for her. "Happy birthday mom. I wish you have more birthdays to come and healthy." I uttered before kissing her cheeks. "Happy birthday mom. My wish is please live longer and be healthy. I still want to introduce my girlfriend and children to you!" Jack beamed. Everyone was stunned even
Alison Pov...I was dumbfounded to see Karla with Windle. I didn't even notice she left the living room. How did she know about Windle? What she does is trespassing and it's not appropriate for a woman like her. My eyes bulged when I realise something. Cali did this to my brother often. I was saving her when I always come unexpectedly. Her plan always failed before! Oh no! This can't be happening either!I quickly grab my things to go to work. Karla started a week already and Windle was still pissed when she left back to Italy. He even told us that he will never use our room again. He said he was terrified and his anger is tested when he was there but I know the real reason. It reminded him of the day he woke up with Karla beside her.Windle was traumatized by a woman that's why he become meticulous!"Babe! Why are you dressed like that!" Dwight asked surprised. It's my day off today but I can't wait to talk to Karla. I just hope my hunch wasn't right. Aunt Delilah will flip again if
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
