Laude Pov... I laughed, looking at myself in the mirror. I'll be babysitting a toddler today and this outfit doesn't go with it. Maybe something like a father looks like. Daniel just wear any comfortable clothes. I rant to myself like an idiot. I arrived at their house earlier than expected, but I can already see Daniel was so happy and excited to go to Disneyland, but that happiness would be more justifiable if Alejandro and Alison were here. Maybe Daniel understood everything as he didn't ask why I was taking him, not Alison or Alejandro, who had promised him. I never heard him ask anything why he always stays here with his grandparents. She goes to school and church happily. What will happen to him in the future? As long as he was happy and comfortable, then everything would be fine. As I promised to Alejandro, to make his birthday worth it and unforgettable even without them. I chose to stay there for two days with him. I don't think we can manage to take a round trip after bein
Bernard Pov... I'm worried about what is going on with our family hitting us hard, and I wanted to let Dwight take the business again because I need to go to Italy to find my buddy that I've been in lost contact with for a long time, but he is still at bliss pampering Alison. Their lives revolve around them now and they can't get over each other's embrace. Dwight is watching Alison like a hawk! He is scared that something terrible might happen to her. Alison asked me to let Dwight back to work to make him busy, but I can't stop their beautiful reconciliation. Second chances are sweet and rare, but trying to redeem yourself to amend what you have done before isn't easy because you will always have a doubt in yourself. Sometimes you will always think that all your efforts are useless and it's not enough. You will always feel anxious, trying to find a more suitable way to please them, but this is not about pleasing someone. The ghost of yesterday is still haunting you, thinking maybe o
Alison Pov... Dwight wanted to fill in the void we missed in ur life. Bernard let him stay at home to recuperate, healing his previous injuries. Now, he was already fit to work. I ask him to go back to work and help his father manage their business, but Bernard rejects him. While he is still at home, he makes sure that he takes good care of me, no matter what he is doing. I don't feel the day passing by so quickly. The moments we spend are worth more than memories. I forgot everything that happened to us before. All I have now are these sweet thoughts, gestures and moments that I keep on holding and living everyday. To say we are too clingy and it's too much, we don't mind at all, as long as we make each other complete and contented. We are comfortable and easily planning ahead for our future. We were still cuddling in our room that we forgot to eat our breakfast, though he brought me some snacks to eat early this morning as we woke up too early because of my nasty cravings. I fel
Jacks Pov..I am fully recovered now and back to my business and even helping dad at the company. Dad managed to pull in everything that my brother left behind. Alison is full of relief now that Dwight is out of danger because he will be discharged today, while Cali will still stay at the hospital for another test because he had a high fever the other day. Alejandro was pissed again, worried about Cali. I packed some food and went to the hospital to help Alison and give some food to Alejandro and Cali. My mouth twitched when I arrived at the hospital. Alison and Dwight were clingy, talking while keeping on giving each other kisses. I couldn't handle to watch them as I slowly closed the door, not wanting to disturb them. One day if I will have mine you will regret showing off in front of me. I mumbled, ranting to myself. I walked toward Cali's room to check on her and give her food when my eyes bulged, almost popping on it's own. I regretted opening the door and staring at them eatin
Leslie Pov... I was in the living room watching the current news when the door opened, revealing Alison and Dwight. They were just like a newly wed entering the house. The look in their faces was a perfect sight to watch. Dwight's eyes are gleaming whilst Alison is looking at him lovingly. He never left his eyes on Alison while Alison was always at his side too. I smiled, looking at them comfortably talking, holding hands while slowly walking. This is a beautiful sight for a couple who are really in love. I remember when Bernard and I were just dating until we conceived Dwight. We always look at each other like that lovingly. We can't even lose a smile on our faces. I stood up and met them halfway, helping Alison to assist Dwight while the maid took their bags upstairs. I ushered them into the living room to sit with me for a while. I want to check on them before sending them to their room to rest. "Glad you are back at home son?" I beamed. "I am too, mom. I can't stay another day
Cali Pov...My heart cried painfully and pitiful before I had the power to open my eyes. I'm scared that I am out of this life and this is already the after life. The dream of family with Alejandro had not happened yet! My tears are starting to pour into my eyes. I really thought I was already dead. I'm glad that when I opened my eyes I saw the man that can only heal me. He is the only medicine that I need when I am troubled, lonely and sick. Nothing beats his care for any medicine out there. His human care is all I wanted. Alison was really gifted to have him as a brother. He takes good care of her. Now I got that care as his girlfriend. I don't want to be his girlfriend, I wanted to be the better half of him. Without him my life would be incomplete. He always complete me. I am an imperfect woman that becomes perfect meeting him to make my life incomplete, complete.My heart cried in happiness when he said hi baby, because I knew I was really alive!I'm overjoyed that I am already fi
Alison Pov...After the mind - blowing sexy time we had the other night, Dwight became more clingy, sweet and sometimes naughty. We both didn't expect that we had the same insatiable lust feeling towards each other. All I know is I can't get my hands on him. I always want to let my palm caress his beautiful hunky body. Those six packs and bulging muscles are crazy to touch.His stare always sends another meaning to me. That's how naughty we are. My swollen belly doesn't stop us from doing nasty when we want to do, but of course, we take some precautions not to harm our little one!I woke up groaning before opening my eyes, smiling for another beautiful day. I moved towards Dwight's bed when the bed was empty and it was already cold. I frowned, opening my eyes to find him. It's cold so he was awake a long time ago. Where did he go? I ask myself, pouting, jealous.I sighed, walked towards the bathroom to clean and go down to eat my breakfast.I couldn't see anyone in the living room whe
Cali Pov... I was happy coming home after two weeks staying in the hospital, but I didn't expect the surprise waiting at my front door. I don't feel good vibes seeing them here. I wanted to run back to the hospital and lock myself up. Like what I thought, why were they here? They were surprised when they saw me pale and weak, just like how surprised I was to see them as well. "What happened to you? We've been calling you!" Mom blurted mad. "That's enough your daughter isn't well." Dad interrupted mom. Dad is the one who is most concerned most of the time. Than mom. I know what makes her mad to see Alejandro with me. "Are you alright? You look pale!" Dad asked and no one even greeted Alejandro, making my stomach flip in annoyance. "I'm not totally fine, dad, but I am recovering. Thanks to Alejandro for not leaving my side!" I uttered, emphasizing every word I said. I want them to just say hi to Alejandro. That's not even hard to say. Dad felt embarrassed looking at Alejandro. "I
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
