Chapter 1
Meet
Taranta akong nag-impake kinabukasan. Hindi ko na naisip ang flight pagkauwi ko kaninang madaling araw at hindi na nakapaghanda. Ikakasal ang pinsan ko kaya babiyahe ako pa Aklan. It's a grand wedding that will be held on a resort, so I'll be staying there for three days.
Kape lang ang tanging nainom ko bago tumulak papuntang airport. Dala ng antok at hangover, I slept the whole flight. Ginising lang ako ng isang attendant nang makalapag na.
May chopper na naghihintay sa akin doon para ihatid ako sa resort. Dianne knows I don't like traveling in land, kaya nagpahanda siya ng chopper para sa'kin.
Kahit paano ay naibsan na ang pagkahilo ko nang lumapag ang chopper sa helipad ng resort. An attendant guided me to the hotel. Mukhang pinareserve ang buong lugar para sa kasal. Hindi ko na ipinagtaka iyon. Dianne is my cousin from the mother's side, a Ruiz. Born as an elite and will marry an elite. So it should be this grand.
Nakasuot ng maong shorts, white bandeau, black leather jacket, black high cut boots and aviators, naglakad ako papasok sa hotel.
Nakita ko agad ang mga kakilala at relatives.
"Aleira!"
Humalik ako kay Tita Aloia, Dianne's mom. On her side was Tito Chito, ang nakakatandang kapatid ni Mommy.
"Where is Minerva? Hindi ba pupunta?" si Tita.
"Ah! Nasa Switzerland po si Mommy para sa business trip. Hindi po siya makakapunta. Pero siya na po raw ang bahala sa honeymoon nila Dianne. It's her wedding gift."
"That woman is really workaholic. Basta sa trabaho, hindi 'yon mapipigilan kaya hayaan na natin," sabay tawa ni Tito Chito.
Tumawa rin ako. "Well, that's Mom."
"Where's your date? Wala?" Ngumisi si Tita na parang himala na wala akong lalaki ngayon.
"Maybe I could find here?" biro ko.
"Oh, I'm sure you'll find one! Maraming relatives at kaibigan si Adam na dadalo!" tukoy ni Tita sa groom ni Dianne.
I laughed. "Anyway, nasaan po si Dianne at Adam?"
"They're preparing. May shoot kasing magaganap mamaya. Your other cousins are on the shore. Pumunta ka muna sa kuwarto mo para makapagpahinga ka."
"Alright. I'll go ahead po."
Iginiya ako ng roomboy patungo sa suite ko. The room was large and the balcony is facing the coast. Pumasada ang tingin ko mula sa pools, beach villas at sa puting buhangin. Kahit sa malayo ay kitang kita ko ang pagiging malinaw ng dagat. Nagningning ang mga mata ko. I love the beach kaya naman sinadya kong magdala ng maraming swimming attires.
Nagtanggal ako ng aviators. I checked my phone for Nikki's texts. Siya lang kasi itong pupunta dahil hindi libre ang ibang kaibigan ko. Ngayon ang simula sa pagtatrabaho ni Joaquin sa kanilang kompanya. Landon will fly abroad with his family for vacation. Ganoon din si Aileen.
Nikki:
I woke up very late, Leira! Mabuti na lang at hindi ako nahuli sa flight. Kakasakay ko lang ng taxi galing Kalibo.
Ako:
Nasa resort na ako. I woke up late too. Ni hindi ko na nga naayos ng ang pag-iimpake ko para hindi lang mahuli sa flight.
Well, blame the alcohol for it. Tipsy na ako kagabi at naalala kong si Evan ang naghatid sa akin sa condo. Naalala ko ring sinabi ko kina Nikki at Aileen ang nangyari sa amin ni Greco. They were shocked about how I successfully kissed him dahil record breaker nga raw. Medyo minus nga lang sa last part. But that's okay. At least I know he's attracted with me!
Anyway, talking about Greco... Agad akong nagtipa ng message para kay Aileen.
Ako:
Did you get any information about Greco?
It didn't take long when she replied.
Aileen:
Greco Octavius Madrigal. 28 years old. Magna Cum Laude in La Salle. MBA. CEO of MGC and a partner of Alpha Builders. That's only the info I've got. Good luck!
Napangiti ako. He's really not ordinary. Hindi ko alam paano ko siya malalapitan ulit, but I'm sure I will come up with a plan. Once I set my eyes on anything, gagawin ko ang lahat makuha lang iyon. Ganoon ako.
Sa pag-iisip, hindi ko na namalayan ang pag-idlip. I woke up when I heard small noises. May pumasok sa kuwarto ko, I concluded with my eyes still closed. Kinusot ko ang mata at dumilat. Halos tumalbog ako sa pasalampak na pag-upo ni Nikki sa kama.
"Wake up, princess!" She laughed.
Bumangon ako at sumandal sa headboard. I glanced at my wristwatch. Alas onse na. Isang oras din pala akong nakaidlip.
"Kailan ka pa dumating?" tanong ko.
"Kararating ko lang. Nakita ko sina Dianne at Adam. Ready na raw ang lunch. Kaya tumayo ka na riyan para makakain na tayo. Hindi ako nakakain ng breakfast."
"Guess what? Ako rin, hindi."
"Kung bakit ba kasi tayo nagpakalasing kagabi, e! Sana pinaalala mo sa'kin na may kasal pa tayong pupuntahan."
"Kanino ba kasing idea ang umorder ng sangkatutak na scotch?" sumbat ko.
Umirap si Nikki. I went out of the bed and took off my jacket. Humarap ako sa malaking salamin at inayos ang mukha para makababa na. Hinayaan kong nakalugay ang natural na maalong buhok. Lagpas balikat ko iyon at may highlights na light brown. Inayos ko ang itim na belt ng aking maong shorts. With only my bandeau, my abdomen was exposed, showing the little piercing on my belly button.
"By the way, did you blocked Travis in your number and socmed?"
Nilingon ko si Nikki. "Bakit?"
"Sa akin siya nagtatanong ng whereabouts mo. Siyempre hindi ko sinagot ng diretso at baka puntahan ka pa."
"Yes, I blocked him. He is annoying. Ayaw niya akong tantanan kahit nakipaghiwalay na ako," sabi ko at naglakad na palabas ng suite.
"Paano ako? I-block ko rin ba? E, ayaw akong tantanan. Nahihiya lang akong supalpalin dahil kaibigan ni Jameson."
"Oh. You're still with your monkey business with Jameson?"
"Jameson is fun to be with, you know."
"Fun in bed, you mean?" sabay halakhak ko.
Halos mabangga iyong housekeeper na nagtutulak ng cart na nakasalubong namin.
"Well..." Tumawa si Nikki. "Siyempre, factor din 'yon. Pero talagang masayang kasama si Jameson hindi lang sa kama."
I smirked. "So he's also fun in the bathroom, in the kitchen, in anywhere?"
Naghalakhakan kami papasok ng elevator.
"Gosh, Aleira! Parang mas wild ka pa sa'kin kahit wala ka pang experience, ah?"
"Ano'ng walang experience? I've been with many boys!"
"Oo nga! Pero make out lang. There's still a bit of innocence left in you."
Ngumuso ako. "I'll lose it soon, though."
Her eyes narrowed. "Alam ko kung kanino mo balak ibigay. Pero ang tanong, how can you make him bite the bait? God, a man with that kind of caliber isn't as easy as you think. Lalo na kung walang history ng pagiging playboy!"
"All men have the same weakness, Nikki," sabi ko bago tumunog ang elevator, hudyat na nasa tamang floor na kami.
Isang liko sa pathway, nakita namin agad ang restaurant kung saan nakahanda ang pagkain ng mga guests. Pagpasok pa lang ay nakita ko agad ang mga mukha ng kakilala. The elders weren't there, though. Mukhang nasa kabilang restaurant.
"Hi, Aleira!" bati sa akin sa nadaanang table. I stopped to greet them.
"You look sexier, huh!"
Tumawa ako at may idudugtong sana pero narinig ko na naman ang pangalan. This time, from a distant table.
"Sina Dianne!" turo ni Nikki.
Nahanap ko agad ang table nila. Mahaba iyon at marami silang kasama, just our relatives and family friends, I guess. I only looked at my cousin as I smiled and waved. Ramdam ko ang pagsiko ni Nikki pero dire-diretso lang ang lakad ko. May mga kakilala pang pabirong sumipol na tinatawanan ko lang.
"Leira!" Dianne stood up to hug me.
Tumawa ako at tinapik ang balikat niya.
"Congrats, Dianne!" si Nikki.
I scanned the people on their long table briefly. May hindi ako namumukhaan, probably Adam's relatives or friends. Pero nawala ang utak ko sa sinasabi ni Dianne at kaagad bumalik ang tingin sa isang direksiyon. I was stunned nang mapansin ko kung sino pa ang naroon!
Isang upuan mula kay Adam, Greco Madrigal was sitting. Naka sky blue siyang button down polo, iba sa pormal niyang dating kagabi.
Nagkatinginan kami. Wala siyang reaksiyong kahit ano. Slowly, my lips curved into a smug smirk. Kung sinusuwerte nga naman.
May humawak sa aking baywang. Napatingin ako kay Gio na tumayo na rin pala. He kissed my cheek like the usual greeting between our circle of friends.
"Belated happy birthday, Leira," sabi nito.
"Congrats din sa graduation niyo. We should celebrate later this night," ang pinsan kong si Bernard.
"Game!" I said.
Umupo na kami ni Nikki sa bakanteng upuan. Katabi ko sila ni Gio habang katapat ko naman si Greco. Nagkatinginan kami ulit. It was only very brief dahil agad niyang ibinalik ang tingin sa pagkain. I smirked. Napakasuplado.
"Congrats sa inyo, Adam! By the way, sabi ni Mommy siya na ang bahala sa honeymoon niyo, wherever you like it. It's her wedding gift," sabi ko.
"Sayang naman pala at hindi makakadalo si Tita. Anyway, send her my thanks," si Adam.
"Sure."
"Nga pala, I thought isasama mo si Travis?"
"Naku, Dianne! Huli ka na sa balita. They broke up yesterday," si Nikki.
"What, Leira? Hindi pa kayo umabot ng buwan no'n, ah?" natatawang tanong ni Bernard.
"Is that the guy from Ateneo?" another cousin asked.
Greco drank on his water. He was all serious. I wonder kaano-ano siya ni Adam? Dahil for sure he's not from Dianne's side.
"Ang guwapo pa no'n!" patuloy nila sa usapan tungkol kay Travis.
I laughed. "Come on, guys! Pag-uusapan lang ba natin ang love life ko? We're here for Dianne and Adam's wedding!"
They don't know about my engagement yet kaya napapag-usapan pa namin ang love life ko ng ganoon kagaan. Only Mommy and Matthew's parents know about it. Pagbalik pa ni Matthew nila i-aanunsiyo iyon officially sa isang engagement party. Mas mabuti ngang ganito muna dahil hindi magkaka-issue kung may ibang lalaki ako.
"By the way, Aleira, Nikki, mga kaibigan ko nga pala. Greco, Carver and Lenz. Then my cousins..." si Adam.
So, he's Adam's friend. That's explains it.
"Hello! Nice to meet you!" si Nikki.
"Aleira. Dianne's cousin," pakilala ko at pinasadahan ng tingin ang mga hindi pamilyar. Then at last, bumaling ako kay Greco. He looked back at me, but the coldness in his eyes showed his lack of interest.
Binigyan ko siya ng mapaglarong tingin. Now I don't need to plan kung paano siya lalapitan. Talagang pinagtagpo na kami ng tadhana rito. If he'll stay here until the wedding, I have three days with him.
"Leira, balak naming magsurf mamaya. Paturo naman!" si Gio.
"Sure! Pero nasaan nga pala si Leandra at wala pa rito?" tukoy ko sa isa pang pinsan.
"Sa wedding day na daw siya pupunta," sagot ni Dianne.
We continued the talk while eating. Madalas ang tingin ko sa kaharap pero hindi na ulit tumingin si Greco sa akin. I think he's purposely avoiding my gaze, though. Parang ang laki ng galit sa akin. Akala mo naman minolestiya ko kagabi.
I smirked at my own thoughts. Naglalaro ang daliri ko sa tinidor habang nakatitig sa kanya.
He isn't the man I usually like, actually. The boyfriends I had were the school's bad boy, rockstar, rich spoiled heir, at madalas iyong nakakasalamuha ko sa bar. In short, I always like anyone like me. But last night, Greco broke the record. He's very different from my long list of exes. Kitang kita ko iyon sa ere at kilos niya.
"So, why did you broke up with Travis? May third party ba?" tahimik na tanong ni Gio sa akin pero tiyak akong naririnig ng nasa malapit. Alam ko dahil saglit na nag-angat ng tingin si Greco sa amin.
"Or you got tired of him, just like the usual?"
I chuckled. "What do you think?"
Ngumisi si Gio. "Imposibleng may third party sa side ni Travis. Kahit sinong lalaki hindi na makakatingin sa iba kapag ikaw ang girlfriend. So that's out of the picture."
"Really," I laughed.
"And it's impossible that there's third party in your part. You're a playgirl but you don't cheat when you have a boyfriend."
Well... hindi naman siguro considered na cheating ang ginagawa ko kay Matthew? Ipinangako lang kami sa isa't isa at ni hindi pa nga official ang engagement. And who knows he's also with women while he's abroad. I don't mind if he's doing that anyway.
"Travis is too controlling, that's why," sabi ko.
"Can you give me my chance, then?"
Nagkatinginan kami ni Greco. His intense dark eyes were all on me. Mapanghamon ko siyang tiningnan, matamis ang ngiti kahit malamig lang na tingin ang sinusukli niya. I guess I want to try something cold this time. After all, the cold can still burn me.
"I better not, Gio. I don't have plans for relationships at the moment. May ibang bagay akong gustong pagtuonan ng pansin," sabi ko, patuloy ang titig sa harap.
Gumalaw ang bagang ni Greco bago bumaba ang tingin sa kanyang baso. Bumalik ako sa pagkain, lumipad na sa ibang bagay ang isip.
Chapter 2ThirstyNagswimming kami sa hapong iyon. The shore was rowdy with the boys. Nagwater sports kami. Jet ski, snorkeling at surfing. Nagpaturo si Gio magsurf kaya napasubo na rin akong turuan ang mga kaibigan niya.Kung may isang sport akong kayang gawin ng maayos, iyon ay ang surfing. It's one of my hobbies everytime I go to the beach. Ang sarap lang sa pakiramdam na kaya mong sabayan ang alon. It feels like I can tame the waves."Kaya pa 'yan!" natatawang encourage ko kay Gio nang wala pang limang segundo ay nawipe out na naman siya."Wala ka talagang pag-asa sa surfing, dude!" kantyaw ni Bernard."You're so cocky, Bernard. Ni hindi ka nga umabot ng three seconds!" bawi ni Gio."Well, at least tanggap kong hindi ako para sa surfing!"We all laughed. Lumapit si Gio sa akin. He brushed his hair upward. Drops of water were trickling down to his body."Sorry, Ma'am. Kahit ano'ng turo mo, ang hirap talaga," halakhak
Chapter 3Don't FallHindi ako nakakibo sa gulat. His damp lips was warm and soft like how it felt the first time I kissed him. Pero iba iyon. This time, he initiated it!Lumayo siya ng kaunti, tumingin sa labi ko bago niya ako tiningnan sa mata. Seryoso."You want to play with me? Then let's start your fucking game. Now, part your lips."Before I could give any reaction, he kissed me again. He sucked on my lip, and just like a slave ruled by his master, kusang bumuka ang labi ko. He gave me hard and unforgiving kisses. His arm was tight around my waist, while his other hand was on my nape, pulling it gently so I could open my mouth better for his deeper kiss.Napakapit ako sa kanyang braso. I equalled his hot kisses with mine. His lips followed a provocative rhythm, kissing me in a skillful way, as if he had long mastered this art. Hindi ko alam na may halik pa lang nakakawala ng huwisyo. Ito iyon.Kaya lasing na lasing pa rin ako na
Chapter 4BonerI was woken up by my alarm the next morning. Dahil kung hindi ako nagpa-alarm ay tiyak akong hindi ako magigising sa tamang oras. Mas nakakahiya kina Dianne pag nagkataon.Isang olive green dress ang damit ko. It's for the shoot, at iba naman ang sa kasal na talaga. Sa shore ay naroon na ang organizer, ang aming relatives, groom's men at bride's maids.Kasali si Greco sa groom's men kaya naroon din siya. He's talking with Adam and Lenz but his eyes managed to find mine. I smiled at him and went to my cousins."Leandra! Kailan ka pa dumating?" Humalik ako sa aking pinsan."Four this morning. Sabi kasi ni Mommy dapat kasali kami sa shoot. So, I moved our flight earlier," sabi niya."Oh. Where's Lucius?""He's still on his room. Pababa na."I also greeted my aunts who just arrived this day. Nagtanong sila kung bakit wala si Mommy sa isang espesyal na okasyon kaya paulit-ulit kong sinabi ang dahilan. It wasn'
Chapter 5IntenseHalos manginig ako nang lumapat ang kamay niya sa aking baywang. Every flick of his tongue was full of ardor. Napakapit ako sa kanyang balikat nang iangat niya ako sa kama.Crouching in front of me like a dominant hunter ready to end his long famine, he pulled my nape aggressively as he gave me an alluvion of intoxicating kisses.Sumiklab ang kakaibang init sa katawan ko. His hand skillfully found the zipper of my dress and maneuvered it, while his hot kisses were travelling down to my jaw. Napaigtad ako sa hagod ng kanyang kamay sa aking likod. My body was shaking and it feels like I couldn't hold on to my precious sanity any longer. My inhibitions and rationality were all thrown out of the window, leaving my mind empty.With my kind of lifestyle, I could have easily gave in to my past boyfriends who asked me for it. Hindi pa ako handa, iyon ang laging sinasabi ko. But the truth is, I was searching for the man who could make me f
Chapter 6 Spilled With the setting sun, the wedding was wonderful. Kitang-kita ko ang saya sa mukha ni Dianne at Adam pagkatapos ng wedding rites. Though I wonder. Kung ako na kaya ang ikakasal, magiging ganoon din ba ako kasaya? Will I have that kind of smile? Or will I even be able to smile? The thoughts of it made me stop. For a moment, there was a wishful thinking. Siguro naman magiging masaya rin ako sa ganoong set up kalaunan. Maybe if I would like Ethan, our relationship will work, right? After all, there were no records of failed fixed marriage on Mommy's side. And even my father died early, I know my parents relationship was peaceful. Kaya hindi na rin masama, huh? Greco: Already at home? Kakapasok ko lang sa condo nang magbeep ang cellphone ko. Nang pauwi na ay hindi na kasi kami nagkausap dahil sabay kami ni Nikki. Last night was really fun. Ang dami kong nainom kaya buong flight ay tulog na naman ako dahil sa hangover.
Chapter 7FlirtEvan gave me an off the next day, gaya ng sabi ni Mommy. Ala una pa ang go-see ng Loreal kaya ginugol ko ang buong umaga sa routines ko tuwing nasa condo lang. I went out to jog and buy my necessities.I've been living alone since I started college. Malayo ang mansiyon namin sa pinasukan kong university, so I decided to get a condo for myself. Bukod doon, hindi ko masyadong gusto ang boyfriend ni Mommy noon. It was a perfect excuse to get away from the house.I don't have any problem of Mommy going out with men again. She was still young when Daddy died, at alam kong malaking bagay na may kaagapay siya. But her boyfriend that time was creepy and too arrogant. Buti na lang at hindi rin sila nagtagal at nagkahiwalay din sa sumunod na taon.It wasn't the last time she dated, though. And now, the latest is Tito Roderic. He's also widowed and has one child. Sa pagkakaalam ko ay babae iyon at nasa ibang bansa.
Chapter 8Sinulyapan ko si Greco. Nakaupo siya sa sofa habang nagbabasa ng magazine, inaantay akong matapos. The attendant is doing my pedicure now."Ang guwapo ng boyfriend mo, Ma'am," bulong sa akin ng attendant. I'm a regular kaya kilala na ang staffs at nakakakuwentuhan.I chuckled. "Hindi ko 'yan boyfriend.""Si Ma'am, o. Sasama ba 'yan dito kung hindi?"I smirked. "Friends lang kami..."Tiningnan ko si Greco. Nag-angat siya ng tingin at nakita ang titig ko sa kanya. He raised his brow as a question.Nangingiti akong umiling. He looked so out of place on that pink sofa and all the girly stuffs here. Sinabi ko namang ayos lang kung hindi na siya sumama dahil alam kong hindi siya bagay sa ganitong lugar. Pero ayaw paawat."Bakit friends lang? Nanliligaw pa?"Natawa ako roon. I don't think Greco is the type. That idea is too primitive and romantic. It doesn't suit him."Hindi. Friend
Chapter 9 Rooftop When I arrived at the resort, I go directly to the elevator. Late na talaga ako anak ng alak talaga After a minutes nakarating narin ako sa floor so I directly open the door. “I’m sorry for being late Evan me and my circle had a little celebration last night so I woke up late” I said habang naka yukong Ina ayos Ang damnit ko. When I look straight “F*ck sh*t I’m doomed!!!” mahina at gulat Kung bigkas . What I see was a bunch of business man and woman looking in my direction with a questioning expression. In the middle of analyzing the scenario my eyes captured this man. “ Another sh*t …” it was Greco in the center looking at me so confused. “ Ahhheemmm everyone I forget to introduce my secretary Aliera” Evan cut the moment. “Hi!!!! “ I utter and plaster a smile then wave my right hand. “ is that all?” Evan asked me as if he’s waiting me to tell something. “ Is there anything else I have
Chapter 35 End“ What’s the result!?” I ask to Maureen I ask her a favor the day Sam was admitted in the hospital. Her expression give me goosebumps as she handed me the DNA result of Sam and Ethan.While Ethan was sleeping and next to Sam I take a strand of hair from him and from Sam as well. If my doubt was correct it’s means his been laying to me all this years. I’m afraid to know the result, I don’t want this family to be ruined but I don’t want to lived with his lie.“ You called me!, What for” Maureen ask she’s now here in state as well for some business matter. I handed to hear a brown envelope she take it then opened. “ What’s with this!!” she ask confusion is visible in her face. “ I need your help please make a DNA test of that you’re a doctor and I can’t trust anyone other than you!” I said my lips were trembling as while talking.

And there is something odd, because those man who they had arrested cannot either talk nor write in other words they were all useless. They also find out that they are a member of gang that is very powerful the police get terrified and stop the investigation.“ Sir are you sure you won’t go to a hospital, I think your bruises are pretty bad you need to see a doctor!” Alvin said, while apply first aid on my injuries. “ I can handle this it’s not something sever. “ we need to find out whose the master of KALIDADIS, before they can hurt Aliera.” I said then wear my shirt. “ The police stop the investigation sir when they find out that it was a huge gang.” Alvin said

I tried to drive in the other lane but still the was following my moves until then inunahan na nila ako. I stop the car an there was four man who come out from the car they are all wearing black suit and a mask that cover half of their face.

The other man walk towards him and give the gun. A huge bang makes shock Sam that makes him burst in tear. I tried to calm Sam pero bigla akong hinatak nila palabas.

I drive my way to the park where she used to bring Sam.I parked at the place where she can

Bukas napo ang kasal hahayaan nyo nalang po ba na mangyari to?” Alvin stated I’m now in my office signing some documents I didn’t listen to him. The door open and Evan enter. “ Really Greco you will just sit there and let Aliera marry Ethan!? Are you insane do you know how depressed Aliera was? She’s crying every single day. I heard he came here, you didn’t even talk to her?” Anger was visible in Evan’s voice but I didn’t talk back. “You are really heartless…..” he added. And walk away, “ Sir…” “ Just leave me Alvin, please” I interrupt him before he could even complete his sentence. I know everything that is happening to Aliera I witnessed every single thing but I don’t have any choice if letting her go will bring peace into her life I will do it.“ What do you mean we w
Chapter 30 The WeddingTwo day from now will be the wedding day everything was all arrange and we’re just waiting for the day to come. Up until now I’m not losing hope that Greco will appear. I’m now on my way to Greco’s house I came here every week hoping that one of his maids was there. The guard who’s on duty block my way as I am about to enter the village. “ Ma’am sabi ni Mr. Madrigal na hindi nadaw po kayo allowed na pumasok dito.” Saad nya . “ Wait, what!? Why?” I ask as I feel the heavyweight on my chest. “ Hindi po namin alam ma’am pasensya na po” he replied then I close the window of my car. I’m completely crash my tears are now falling and I can’t even control it. Did Greco abandoned me already? “ no…Please tell me you didn’t!! Please come here and tell me you didn’t!

I don’t even know why he suddenly disappear without a trace I go to MGC but his not there I ask Alvin if he knows where Greco is but he didn’t give me any response. I also ask hi friends including Adam, but he don’t know where he is. I already go to her house but it’s already close the guard in the villa said they already moved.

He walk and sit next to me his face look sad but his trying to cover it up I can sense how nervous he is knowing that if the result on his behalf was negative it will mean his not Sam’s father. “ You’re his father I know, yo

Where we will find out whose the father of my baby. I’m thrilled and terrified as of this moment knowing that if Ethan is the father me and Greco must end up and I don’t have any choice but to marry Ethan. I tried to stop on their agreement but Ethan’s family insist it’s for the sake of our reputation and their reputation.9 months ago…..I’m now here in our house with Ethan’s family and Greco. “ The only way to put as at peace if that baby you were carrying is Ethan’s blood and flesh you need to get married.” Mr. West said I was shocked my eyes were widen. “ Wait….what!!!!
