Windle Pov...Missing home that I finally fit in just when I arrived. The fact that I just saw dad and my few colleagues. When mom died and I started living with dad. I forget everything and started anew. This place will always be my birthplace even now that I am old and meet my biological father. Nothing will change it is just an addition just like in business.Having an extended family is also great. I've taken care of other people as my buddy but different when it comes to your siblings. You will become extra careful, sensitive, and tight. "Dad I'll be eating dinner with you later. I only have two meetings today!" I informed dad while we are eating breakfast. "You've been coming home early since you came back! Any friends to meet?" Dad asks curiously. I chuckled biting my last bite. "Dad, I never had friends to call when I was here. All I had was a business acquaintance but don't worry dad, a few friends were busy recently. I'll be busy next week as I will go back to LA soon." I
Cali Pov...I'm uncomfortable and don't understand how Karla knows Windle when she never sits in one place. I'm not against them if they like each other it's just I'm worried she will experience turmoil like we had or worst. Windle is a nice guy but unpredictable.Karla is not answering my calls as if she was aware of what will I ask her.What I should I do to both of them not getting hurt? Does Karla like him so much? Why she has a lot of sketches of him?"Babe, why are yous till awake? You should sleep while the twin was asleep!" Alejandro stops my trance."I can't stop thinking of Karla. How did she know Windle and where did they meet." I replied."Maybe accidentally meet!" He muttered."What do you mean? Do you know something?" I asked him skeptically. His words state he already knows. He looks at me seriously before sighing deeply. "She asks help to find someone four years ago! I was shocked to see her sketch. I pretended I didn't know who he was and told her it wasn't easy to f
Karla Pov...I'm not scared people will know my feelings toward him. What scares me is him! He seems not pleased to see me. His deep voice and serious look are hurting me. I don't know why I like him so much!When he came in shivering in cold I wanted to run to him but his words are like a shotgun making me freeze on my chair staring at him. Words were stuck in my tongue.He was surprised to know Cali and I were siblings. He couldn't sit that he opted to run away again. I pick myself up and run to chase him."Wait!" I stop him. He abruptly stop surprised. Maybe he didn't expect that I will follow him. In the first place, I was here because of him.When he looks back. I stuttered unable to speak properly not because I am scared of him but because I couldn't pull myself struck by his presence. Words are automatically shut down and my head went blank, all I see him looking like an angel standing in front of me."What?" He blurted but I can't put on my words annoying him. "Don't dare sto
Windle Pov...Surprise? Is that even a big word to elaborate on and used for the day? Maybe! How can I run away from a young woman prying on me? Why do I have to get entangled with her? Alejnadro'ssisterinlaw? Wow! And what did she say? Working as assistant of Laude? I laughed annoyed before closing my eyes to clear my mind! I can't think irrationally! That woman is not easy to mess with it's Cali's sister what do I expect? Cali protested and even chooses that her parents disowned her not to lose Alejandro! But her sister is too young for me! She is already my firstborn if I had one! I admit that woman makes me flustered and speechless. I don't even want to drink coffee when shes' near me. The palpitation sucks greedily. I can't sacrifice her beautiful life ahead of her.I regretted going there. I should have waited in his home as I still have access but at least I know to escape Thompsun Mall and Laude's Thompsun office. If she is working there then downtown will only be the place
Alison Pov...We were not just shocked and left dumbfounded that day. I can't even utter any word locked up from my trance. I understand what Cali felt right now. She is not trying to stop her to fall in love. She is just stopping her not to get hurt as their family most likely followed their traditions. Arrange marriage to a family they think can meet their standards. You are lucky when you fall in love with the person they arranged for you to marry. Then be sorry if you can't get along and learn to love, you'll end up divorced or pathetically stay and endure until you die. I guess they should break that chain. My nephews and nieces can have that kind of marriage! Though Alejandro won't let that happen, he has his own rules for her princess. It's my due next month but I'm bored staying at home. After Dwight went to work I ask dad's driver to bring me to Thompsun Mall. I grab my favorite drink at Jack Coffee shop before going to the office only to be surprised. Karla is not just pis
Elisa Pov...This is not what I expected to see when coming back to work on them. Everything is a mess and it's insignificant to the business. Karla? Who is she in Windle's life to make a huge ruckus? How many years did I miss that a lot of things changed?I didn't age much as I take good care of myself and never entertained pressure and stress. This is the way I cope to survive my broken self. It's easy to get a job but picking up yourself again wasn't easy. The process is very shaky and dangerous to others who can't bare it. I almost didn't manage but thanks to my brother. Laude has aged a bit since the last time I saw him. Seems work doesn't suit him well nowadays. Since when did he have a vacation without thinking about work?Laude doesn't bother me anymore. If he will hate me be my guest. What bothers me was Karla. The anger and hatred she possessed that day she saw me were deep. "Princess!" She uttered sweetly. He knows I always call him when I'm depressed and solitary. "Etha
Windle Pov..It's been two months since Karla left furious and Alison gave birth to their twins. She just repeated what Elisa did! What a stubborn woman! Definitely, a young woman throwing a tantrum."Sir Windle are you not going to buy something today!" My secretary asks. I forgot we will be gathered today to welcome the lovely twins. It's cute that they are a boy and a girl. Daniel and Danika were elated to have a sibling and they can't get over them almost staying in their room." Yeah! Thank you!" I bleat picking up my stuff to leave for a while.I'm already at the mall roaming around before buying gifts for my nephew and niece when my eyes caught Karla with a guy going out of the mall. My curiosity was piqued that I chased them out but I only got the car's plate number.I called one of my trusted people to run the plate to know who owned it and where to find the prick. I hissed annoyed! Why do I care who she was! Does it matter to me? That's her life! Damn it! That's why they say
Laude Pov...I know I can't hide from Elisa now! I have to face what I did. They may be out of the hospital now. I regretted what I have done but I can undo what I have done! She can be with anyone but not that ugly punk! Every time I close my eyes and think of her my mind blows that day I saw her slapped by that crazy guy! If this is what love is now I will not fall in love again. It's fucking insane and dangerous! you know it's hurting both physically and mentally but you still grasp it!I forced myself to forget everything and went to my office to get myself. Busy.I'm dejected walking to the office like just I'm the only one. I already sit at my table starting to work not noticing anything unusual in the office when Karla drop a pile of documents on my table startling me. I even slap my face thinking I am dreaming."Sir Laude, this is for this month's budget list and including the PO that we need." She explained."Karla!" I mumbled."Yes sir! Sorry for being immature!" She smiled.
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
