She had been checking on the guests' list, the reception area which will be held at a luxurious hotel, the restaurant, the souvenirs, the ten-foot-tall cake, and other things that would definitely be needed for a successful wedding. She even booked a flight to an island country for the couple where they are going to spend their honeymoon. All seemed to run smoothly as she intends to. For her, only a blissful life is waiting for her only daughter - the one thing that matters to her. She was surprised when she received a call from her daughter, wanting to talk to her.
They agreed to meet after working hours at their favorite restaurant. Dressed in a simple black and white shirt paired with dark grey pants and wearing sneakers, Cassandra looked very pretty and gorgeous but something seemed to bother her mother because her eyes looked sad and there was s

As a young and talented lawyer, Imman made friends with a lot of his clients including Mr. Daniel Ruiz, hotel and restaurant magnate. He even employed him as his family's personal attorney. Impressed by his court trial records, the chairman made known to the lawyer that he wanted to set him up with his own daughter, which, he politely declined, reminding him that personal matters must not be entwined with business matters. Chairman Ruiz, a sturdy and chubby middle-aged man of fifty-two, who had been balding since two years ago, just laughed every time the lawyer declined his offer of marrying his daughter. He believed that the young man is perfect for his only child and that having him as a son-in-law would help him more in running the company, though, in one of their conversations, the attorney already mentioned that he had come from a poor family and his father was an ex-convict. The chairman, who, on that occasion was a little tipsy, told the lawy

Cassandra's life abroad has been full of loneliness and misery. Being rich did not help her be exempted from sufferings that had occupied her life for seven long years. Not a day did she not remember her first love, the father of her child, not a day without looking back at the days that she had been happy with him - she missed him so much and she was thankful when one day, she received a call from her mother, informing her to come back, as her father's request. It was only the day when she returned home that she had known that the person whom she terribly missed, got married to a billionaire's daughter.

Chaotic as his life is, the lawyer resolved not to add more problems that would only make him and the people around him more miserable. In his mind, he had to see his son more often and hope that he will be acknowledged by his son as soon as possible. It is not easy for him not to think of the little child, and not think of his mother too. After all, she had given birth to him, loving him unconditionally, and giving him the nicest thing a mother could possibly give. The lawsuit against Chairman Ruiz didn't get further, for the victims of the family settled down amicably. It was known that the chairman paid each of them enough money, to silence them. Although he knew this is sure to happen, he still had been trying to gather some evidence about the abuses against the workers under the supervision of the said chairman. Regarding his son, he once called his mother to tell him that when he had done some works at his office, he would like to meet him at the park where they could play his

Coming home was never as fun or as exciting as it was before he met his former girlfriend and his son. It seemed like some heavy loads were weighing him down. Nonetheless, he had to show his face to his wife and live with her. He was glad when he arrived and found out that his wife was not at home, making him feel more relaxed. As his habit of not going to sleep early, he went to his library and took a book to read. Glancing at his watch, he saw that it was eleven o'clock at night, and still, not a sign of his wife. Half an hour passed, he heard the creaking sound of the door and saw his wife coming in. She curtseyed at him, not saying any word, and went to her room. They have been sleeping separately after the unexpected incident at the beach. She, in her room, laid her body on the soft bed, trying hard not to think of the changes that had suddenly occurred in their lives. They were once a happy couple, with so much anticipation of the future, but now, no

Daniella woke up from her sleep to a telephone call coming from a police officer. She got up quickly when she heard that her father was involved in an accident. Hurrying up to the police station, she forgot to call her husband to inform him about what had happened to her father. She, at that time, had no clue whatsoever, of the name of the victim, knowing only that the victim was a young child who almost died because of his father's negligence.

Before going home, he was visited by his aunt, Jane who was glad to see him well again. "I'm so happy to see you going home, Elijah! Your cousin is waiting for you to play with him again." Jane said to the kid, who was busily putting his toys back in his backpack. Cassandra, meanwhile, was on the phone talking to Imman, who was on his way to the hospital to take them home.

He ran towards his grandpa and gave him a big hug and showered him with kisses. "How's my little Elijah? I'm so sorry I did not take you home, grandpa is so busy!" "Don't worry grandpa, my dad brought me here and ate with us - mom. grandma and auntie Jane. I ate so much that my stomach almost burst! ha!ha!ha! The chairman was irritated to hear that the lawyer, whom he disliked so much, even spent the time eating lunch with his family. Trying to hide his feeling from the young boy, he faked a smile and continued playing with him until his daughter came and welcomed him home. "Good evening dad! Let me take my son, he must go to bed now and tomorrow I will bring him to Jane's house. It should have been today, but I let him rest, right, Elijah? Come now, my dear!" Elij

Ella called the next day to inquire about his injuries and calmly told him that he is in his apartment and taking a rest. "You don't have to worry, Ella, the doctor said I'm okay. How about you? Did you sleep well? Is the baby awake now? I wished I could come to your mansion today but I could not, my whole body is aching a little..." the attorney said to her. "I could come and visit you, I will bring our son with me if you want. What do you think, darling? If you don't want to see me, it's okay, I will just call you every hour to check on you."

Ella was awakened by the cries of her son the following morning. She hurriedly took him from the crib and quickly breastfed him. His tears were all over his face and his mother wiped them away. "I'm so sorry dear, mom slept well and forgot that she has a baby to feed..." After sucking milk from his mother, the infant smiled at her which made his mother very ecstatic and happy. She placed him on his crib and put a pacifier on his little mouth. She was about to go to the bathroom when she heard her phone ring and saw that Imman tried to call her twenty times last night. The person who is calling her is the lawyer. She immediately answered her phone and was asked by the attorney why she did not talk to him yesterday evening. "I'm sorry, darling, I slept early! Maybe because I got so tired yesterday, do not worry about me, okay?" she replied while looking at her infant who was playing by himself. "I will come tonight, Cassandra

Just after thirty minutes, a car stopped in front of the Schweitzer's mansion - it was Cassandra's. She was wearing a dress that vividly show her hourglass figure and she had a little make-up on her face. It was the nurse who opened the door for her and told her to come inside but before she even made one step inside, she confronted the nurse and pushed her making her stumble on the floor. "Are you the one who hit my child, huh?" she asked, with her eyes full of anger. "How dare someone like you, hurt my kid! As far as I know, you are the nurse who is in charge of the infant, and I bet you have already hit him too without his mother seeing it" she added. Cassandra is already inside the mansion and heard the voices of the twins coming in her direction. "We are not yet done, nurse! You'll see whom you are dealing with!"

The night before Imman took his children to his mistress, he called his eldest son to join him in the garden and asked him to spare some time for him. His mother was also there, sitting beside the lawyer. Their teenage son was smiling as he approached his parents. The couple grinned back and commanded him to sit between them. "Why do you want to talk to me, dad? I have been doing great at school and I don't have any problems with my siblings and tomorrow, I'll see the little one again, what is this all about dad?" the teenager was perplexed for he had seen no reason why his father, along with his mother had to talk to him alone. "Son," the attorney said. "Dani told me that you broke up with Amanda, is it true?" his son's head bowed down in shame, not wanting to reply to his father's question. "It is true, then. Well, you are still young to even have a serious relationship with Amanda but you can still be friends with her right?" he asked the young man agai

She greeted him with a kiss on his cheeks and hugged him lightly, the way friends do when they meet. "How are you Imman? Is everything ready for the wedding next week?" asked the ex-wife. "I'm fine, Dani! How about you? I heard you are dating the CEO of the Aguirre Corporation, I hope that you'll marry him someday." He chuckled as he said this to his ex-wife who only smiled at him. Then she replied, "It's not true, Imman. We are friends and the one whom he is dating is also a friend of mine" "Your dad told me the other day. I do hope that you'll marry someday and forget me, Dani, you deserved to be happy..." Imman said seriously.
