Laude Pov... I was expecting Dwight to burst out, but it was the opposite. Change is really inevitable, but at least it's a good way, not the other way around. I held my breath when they entered the office, stunned and his eyes were automatically locked on Daniel, likewise with Daniel. The surprise shock in Daniel's face was more stressful than the horror look of his father. I didn't utter any words as I knew my voice wasn't required. I'm anticipating each in the room until he has enough courage to ask why. But as usual, Alejandro, as a protective brother and uncle, did his terrifying part that really scares Daniel. Gladly Laude got his courage to join them, the death glare Alejandro gave him was chilling but still worth it though! Baby sitting is my new hobby now! Oh it's kiddo sitting! Daniel closed his lips tightly when we went out. I was expecting him to throw me a lot of questions but he wasn't. I didn't speak, waiting for him to start a convo, but my saliva was already spoile
Alejandro Pov...I'm still pissed at Dwight, but I can't just disregard Daniel's feelings. I love my nephew as my own son. I couldn't understand why my heart feels anxious towards him. I don't have any plan to do this to him, it's just that it's out of my control already. It's inevitable and surprises me as well. I have to ask him to make sure no one will gets hurt. That's my fucking purpose. I didn't want anyone to be hurt. What's the sense of telling him the truth if he can't accept it? That would only hurt Daniel and I'm sure it would be unbearable pain. He's still too young to feel this kind of pain. I raised him full of affection not to feel he was alone and unloved. That's why I am protecting him. If asking Dwight harshly is a crime, then I'd fake it as long as I could protect my family.He kicked them before, so, nothing is new. Believing his lies is traumatic! Did I overdo it or were they just over acting?Maybe Cali was right. I am too overprotective, forgetting that everyth
Dwight Pov... I am not actually mad at Alejandro. He deserves to get angry all he wants and criticize me. I will not retort anything, just accept it with two arms! I was just pissed that he couldn't give me another chance to correct my wrongdoings. I already admit my fault and I am terribly sorry for what I had caused Alison. Indeed, I was damn fucking sorry! Can't he just give me a chance and listen to me now? I looked at my big brother but he looked at me saying to prove to him that it was worth it for this chance I was given. I understand him either why he just chose to listen and soon talk to me. I never wanted to let our chat run wild. I was pissed that he kept on glaring at Alison, keeping her mouth shut and always blaming me for everything. I have already admitted it and ask for forgiveness. I'm not asking him to forgive me now, all I want is his blessing or just a fucking last chance. If I can't, then he can take them away from me. I was hurt that Aslion didn't tell me abou
Alison Pov... I understand if my brother will misunderstand me after what happened at the mall. I'm still digesting everything that happened. I thought Dwight would loathe me for hiding him and didn't tell him earlier. Never expected that Daniel would willingly accept him as well. Windle was right, Daniel is not a toddler anymore, but he is a smart kid and independent on his own. While Alejandro and Dwight are cursing at each other. I poured my worries and pain, crying out sitting blocking them as I didn't want to hear them shouting in front of me. I both love them for who they are. Alejandro was a brother you would have wished to have and I am grateful to have him and Dwight is the man I am dying to be with until my last breath! Seeing them fight like this because of their opinions is hurting me badly. My heart bleeds in pain. When Daniel barged in, it was a blessing! Though he had already heard and seen everything that he must not be. I'm his mother but I let him suffer when we s
Dwight Pov...I know Alison has worries left for her brother. I chose to leave that day not to make things worse, the fact that they both came with me. I was really elated to have them both leaving, but in the back of my head I am hurt that I did it on my own again. I should have said a word even if I was mad, as respect, but I followed my anger. He was right. I don't have any right after everything that happened. We almost lost and we lost some already and it's not a good thing to remember.Even if Alison did not tell me to see her brother, I already planned to talk to him and tell him our wedding will be next month and again to say I am sorry for being a fucking moron. Whilst we were busy, I called Devon to help me find a wedding planner for us. He was excited that we had finally found our right path and he was willing to make all the effort in exchange for being my best man. Now I have chosen two best men, since my brother couldn't be left behind either. Alison isn't aware where we
Alejandro Pov... I can't resist my sister when she cries. After all, she went through I promised not to let her shed a tear again but inevitably beats me. As long as I'm here alive I will do all my best to protect her but now maybe I should give halfway to Dwight. This is my ultimatum. I enjoyed the half day playing with them. We used to do this in California, sometimes people think she was my wife that's how close we are. I don't want to go to Dwight's family's house but for my sister's sake, I have to show my face for this family dinner his mother hosted. Dwight showed remorse in everything and he never retorted to what I said. Windle as well never intervened, he also proves that he can't condemn his sibling's fault. I've known him for so long and he never condemns anyone either right or wrong. If you can read his gestures and stares you will understand what is he sending to you. I called Cali to join me tonight as I'm not comfortable enough showing up there. "Babe are you sur
Alison Pov...I'm still shocked and in disbelief that I am really getting married now. Last night my parents just arrive surprised that I am settling down for good. This time Dwight was the one who called and told them to come over. He asks Devon to fetch them personally. His best friend is excited about this wedding and he keeps on teasing Dwight.I'm speechless and over the moon that we finally set things right. Daniel isn't aware of what is going on but we assured him it's for our family.He is elated living with us. He surprised Dwight's parents. Dwight's parents were thankful and happy to see him. The sadness when we lost baby Angelo was voided because of him. He put enough laughter in this house within just a few days he was here that daddy Bernard wanted to stay at home with him and wanted to send Dwight back to the office but Dwight retorted he still needs enough time with Daniel. Jack just shakes his head listening to them bantering.Alejandro and I also are fighting about wh
Dwight Pov...I'm nervous and excited while the clock is ticking closer to the time of the ceremony will start. I never felt this unexplained feeling before because I really married her to get Georgina back. I wasn't advised that getting married to the person you really love is nerve-wracking. I'm losing my composure pacing back and forth in this room. My breathing is starting to become ragged unable to grasp. I was about to sit when Jack and Devon barged in laughing at my misery startling me."For christ's sake Dwight! You look like a dump of mess!" Devon laughed, fist-bumping my brother."Damn you, Devon! Your time will command you will suffer more than I am now!" I retorted sitting back on the bed."That will never happen, Dwight! This man in front of you will never enter a commitment like this! It's terrifying life! Look at you, damn it!" He cursed laughing."Let's see about that! And when you see that woman today I will throw the garter in your face." I beamed, laughing as well.
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
