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.
Karla Pov...I know I am crossing the line but it doesn't matter. I know Windle likes me too and he is pretending I am not bothering him. I heard what he blabbered before he left. Before the night ends I called Laude and asked where are they, luckily he was already drunk telling me the place. I drive to the secluded bar and picked Windle. I smiled triumphantly as we left the bar. I ask the bartender to call Jack on Laude's phonebook to fetch drunk Laude as well. They are both fucking wasted!"Mam can you carry him alone." The bartender asked. I smiled as I have a small body frame yet Windle is twice or trice of my body."No! Can you help me?" I replied smiling at him. He nodded and help me out."Thank you! Please take care of his friend. Call Jack to fetch him please!" I uttered. I wasn't aware that the bartender know them well and no need to give an instruction."I'm sorry Laude! I need to settle with your denial friend!" I mumble before driving back to the city.For some reason, I c
Windle Pov...I woke up with a heavy head and body aches! I felt like I played surfing and mountain climbing tired and exhausted. I extended my hand to grab my phone on the side table of my head when my phone wasn't there! My phone is very important to me! I bolted awake looking at the table beside me only to be surprised. I look around the room when the doorbell rang! What the hell! What am I doing here! I hissed going down off the bed and walking to the bathroom to pee still sleepy when I'm faced with my reflection naked!"What the fuck!" I growled surprised staring at my reflection. I looked at my body full of bites and kiss marks. I closed my eyes shaking my head! This can't be happening to me! Isn't it a dream I making out with Karla? That's impossible we made love. She doesn't know where we are last night and she will not dare to do this! I keep on mumbling walking back to bed picking my clothes to wear. I pulled the blanket to put back on the bed when my eyes landed on the mark
Karla Pov...I'm perplexed after what happened. Three months have passed since I coveted that unimaginable crime. It will always be a crime. Since then I worked harder not to catch any attention for myself. Elisa and I become friends that no one expected us to be as they were tarnished by how I acted before!I'm engrossed in working with my worksheet when Laude came in. I felt nausea all of a sudden and my stomach churn. I run outside finding the comfort room and I felt vomiting and my head is starting to become heavy. Luckily Alison followed me and before I could collapse exhausted she caught me.I woke up lying on the hospital bed. My heart beats faster nervous. Why I am here? I just remembered feeling dizzy. "Karla!" Alison called startling me. "What happened?" I asked her. She bites her lips staring at me battling to herself what she would say. "I should be the one asking that Karla. You surprise me!" She beats. I look at her confused! What does she mean by surprising her? "Al
Alison Pov... It's been a month since I came back and workloads weren't a problem anymore. Karla was right! Now the business was expanding that we didn't notice. Even in California dad is asking me to come. Back as my gallery has a lot of people looking for my work too. Dwight is continuing his artwork but not full-time. I had an odd feeling today going to work but I still leave the house. Arriving at the office almost late when I saw Karla running out of the office. I slowly followed her and she was not okay falling on her knees. I quickly run to catch her before hurting her head on the ground. I keep my promise to protect her while she was still shocked but I never expect Elisa will turn the page as Karla did. I was terrified and don't know what to do and both of them pleaded to keep my mouth shut. I couldn't keep my promise when Laude freaks me out dragging Elisa out of anger and frustration. Laude bursts freaking us out when Ethan carried Elisa out of the office. I felt exhaus
Ethan Pov...I'm worried Elisa broke her ankle of what happened. I don't get that punk always mad at her and yelling for nothing. I sighed dejected looking at her scars and swollen ankle."Sir before we will inject something into her. Can I ask if she was pregnant?" The doctor asked. I'm confused and dumbfounded! Why would she ask about being pregnant when my sister just twisted her ankle and some bruises that needed a little care?"No! She's not!" I replied when Elisa woke up."If pregnant what will happen?" Elisa asked."What?" I burst."We can't inject anesthesia with you and you can't take any antibiotics. It will danger your baby." The doctor explained."Okay. Can I see another doctor?" Elisa asked."I'm sorry ma'am but I am only the doctor available right now." The doctor politely replied."No. I mean a doctor for pregnant people!" Elisa shyly responds."Oh! Just a few minutes I will call someone for you!"I look at Elisa confused and bothered. Did she hurt her head? What is she
Windle Pov...My head is still spinning! In a blink of an eye, a lot of things happened. I felt something odd is happening in this office since Alison left before. Maybe this place is cursed and we need to find a new place to open up as our general office! Everything is a mess and everything is a fucking surprise that I didn't want ever. I got a headache today might tomorrow either Linda or Alison will tell me they are pregnant!It's hilarious that things keep on happening. Alison and Dwight were fine now and the Stoneford University is under my supervision.I almost freak out crazy when Laude blabbered. That guy is starting to get on my nerves. Luckily before he could utter to damage my reputation I quickly covered that mouth of his. I wanted to put duct tape to shut him up. What surprised me the most was Elisa's pregnancy and her outbursts running away! What does she mean by now that the cat is out of the bag, I have to go! I'm racking my brain still in the office when Laude came ba
Karla Pov...Alison almost spill my secret in front of Windle. I'm not prepared for this yet. I can't ask my sister what to do but I can trust Alison. I keep on calling her asking about some changes in my body, sleep, mood, and food-eating habit. It's insane waking up at midnight looking for something to eat that you don't even know what kind of food. I'm starting to get fat as well.After cleaning the house. I felt exhausted and hungry again. Am I having a monster in my belly to keep on craving for food? Anything that smell like cheese makes my belly churn craving for it as my mouth water.I almost fall asleep when the doorbell rang continuously. I dragged myself out to open with my sleepy bonehead."Are you okay?" I bolted awake hearing the familiar voice. I blink many times staring at him. I'm not dreaming, right? I mumbled to myself!"This is not a dream right?" I mumbled again still standing at the gate not letting him in."You are not dreaming young lady!" He replied sarcastical
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
