Dwight Pov... Three months ago Laude's Hotel already opened in Downtown City. I just learned Laude and Alejandro were business partners. Greed Company was just the actual frontline managed by daddy Allan now that Alison is in LA. I want to invest in Greed trading Company as they do export and designing. Variety Cuisine is partly owned by Alison and Alejandro. Thomas is already established and Greed is rising.I've learned that not because you are famous you can have everything. Alison started as nothing but became famous because of her hidden ability that I never thought she ever had. I didn't know she can design anything, draw, and paint. Her paints sold like candy but because of what happened, her dreams were halted because of me again. I don't want to stop her. Painting was one of the reasons she cope with the anxiety and depression I caused her. Being a CEO is a tough job but she succeeded despite her personal problems. I would like to connect our business to them in California
Devon Pov... Uncle Bernard filled a week's leave to play with Daniel. They planned to bring her to Japan to experience the cherry blossom. Dwight still declined to work again and still wanted to be with his family. Uncle Bernard and I just let him be what he wanted to do. Should I be the CEO then, working my ass around here while he enjoys his life? Fuck Dwight I didn't sign for this! I sighed, leaning on my chair tired of reading all the files. Uncle Bernard asked me to separate the ones that urgently need his signature and Dwight can sign for him. I was startled taking a nap when the door suddenly swung open unfriendly. "What the fuck!" I blurted surprised to see drunken Dwight. "Don't mind me! Just work there!" He blurted out, not pissed, he is also organized. Then why is he drunk? "Don't mind you? What brings you here drunk!" I retorted. He just lies down on the sofa, closing his eyes. I pulled out my drawer and pick up my phone to text Alison. "Alison, Dwight is here dru
Jack Pov...I thought now that Georgina's case is already solved we will have a happy ending but it was just the start of everything.After a few months' leap of happiness, another pain waved at Dwight. I'm also surprised to know that the biggest Flavors of Asia found at Downtown facing the New Thomas Hotel was owned by Thomas but it wasn't.So, if Dwight didn't find his unconditional love for Alison. He will definitely feel the true bite of revenge! A mocking kind of revenge knowing his personality before. Alison really changed him completely.He misjudges Alison as just a housewife but look who she was really now. A businesswoman in every aspect. A painter as well as and fashion designer! Sometimes I believe that things happen for a reason. They broke up to realize what is worth it! Dwight realized he loved her so much while Alison discovered her inner talent.Nowadays women and men are almost the same. They can work efficiently even skill builders jobs. Dwight is so depressed right
Alison Pov...After what I heard that day I always make sure that I am just going to work and not leave him. I also asked him to go back to work so he could have other diversions. He becomes short-minded, jealous, and paranoid about all things.If I could change my heart then I would have my deathly revenge on him but I couldn't. My heart is weak still falling for him even though he hurts me. My love for him can't be measured. It's like the depth of the ocean.It breaks my heart hearing him crying and ranting to his friend drunk in the morning. He is punishing himself even if my revenge hasn't happened. It was just a perfect coincidence! I came back not for revenge and to forget him but since LA is a small place for both of us, our inevitable face of can not be prevented!I forgot him and move on but fate has another story for us. It wasn't the story I wanted to write. My story was to become a successful businesswoman envied by most of the people I've met. I never write any misfortune
Laude Pov...I spent the holidays in LA while Alejandro and Alison are fixing themselves. Most of the time Windle and I are together. I understand Alejandro as she has a baby now! Since I met him his greatest priority is family, though I love his dedication to his work as well. He really chooses to own his business to own his time. He doesn't want to work in a company demanding most of his time and sometimes exceeds but low wages. Most companies don't pay you for what you work for, but that's the reality of the law of work and the law of employment.When we decided to put up the Greed Trading Company, it was risky, but we gamble on it to help Alison. We didn't expect that this business will work and we didn't plan anything for it but Alsion has his own ways. We choose fashion as it was lined for her and she nailed it. The birth of GreedTrading Company was at the right time and right place. In its first year, we added arts that she was also in, and now coming soon are cosmetics and he
Dwight Pov... It's been six months since we got married but I'm puzzled why is she not getting pregnant while when I locked her it was just days and after three months she got pregnant! I want to have another baby to experience the feeling of how to watch them grow. I wasn't there when she had Daniel. I am a father to him now but he was old enough and independent. He sometimes tells me what to do! When I saw baby Anicka my heart danced with joy especially when she smiles and hear her giggles but I felt sad to realize she is not my daughter. She was just my niece! I want to ask Alison but I am scared to hurt her feelings. I know she is still not over-losing baby Angelo. We are both working now as Daniel is with my parents and Alison's parents want Daniel with them during summer vacation. I agreed to that since I know they miss him as well. They raised him for 6 years! I wanted to have more time with her but she said we need to face the reality. Now that Flavors of Asia already open
Alison Pov...Dwight is excited about this check-up while I am nervous all of a sudden. I was told before to come back after the accident but because of what happened to Dwight I never visited the doctor. Now, I am scared something is wrong with me. This is my body and I know that there is something wrong. Six months is already long enough to wait. We make love most of the time then I must be pregnant but why? I'm trying to be positive that it was just not the right time yet.I sighed deeply staring at myself in the mirror. A lot of things happened since I come back and it was already almost 2 years now that I am here in LA including the ups and downs of my life."Baby, are you still not done taking a bath?" Dwight shouted outside. I didn't know I spent thirty minutes here washing and talking to myself."Sorry, babe! I'm done!" I shouted back. Once again I look in the mirror before going out."Are you alright? This is the first time you stayed longer washing alone baby." He asked worr
Alejandro Pov... I just sighed deeply watching my sister asleep on the sofa. She is heartbroken again when she just recovered. We already know that she can't bear a child and keep it for ourselves for a while as they were still in the healing process. It's already too much if we told her, now that she knows they are heartbroken again and I'm helpless. All I can do for her is to comfort her and listen to her cries. When will she stop suffering like this? Isn't it too much, it's already like a punishment to her. I'm just praying that she will be strong enough to face the reality of life thrown at her every day. I believe God will not give this to her if she can't! "Baby!" Cali uttered softly behind. I didn't know they already arrived. I kissed them with my child. "What happened?" She whispered looking at Alison helplessly curled onto the sofa. "They went to the hospital!" I sighed. "Oh! So, she knows?" "Yeah! I don't know what exactly happened. She came alone and she said they didn
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
