My mind wandered while working on the site, but I forced myself to concentrate and focus on it. I can't be distracted by what happened to me last night.

I focused my full attention on designing and constructing it. I also measured the land and checked the building where something had been built. I have engineers with me, and we just talk about things to change.

"It's fine, Engineer Nueda. Just call me again if there's a problem with what you're going to do so we can find a way right away," I said to Engineer.

"Sure, Architect, I think there won't be any problem because the whole design has been discussed more properly," he answered me.

"Yeah, I know, and I apologize for that. It's really hard to have a meeting online," I said.

My visit here for our meeting has been postponed several times because I am also busy with my other work. My projects also happened one after the other, and Dad was the one who accepted them for me. I didn't want to disappoint him, so I accepted them.

    I didn't pay much attention to what Mommy was telling me about Liam and Lucas' older brothers. A few days passed until Mommy and Daddy's long-awaited day arrived. "Are you guys ready?" Mommy asked us. I just finished getting dressed, and I'm wearing my silver dress, which is only up to my knees. I was the first to fix it, so when they were done, I did some retouching. I also called Stella, but she said she couldn't come, and the same goes for Marcus. We finished cleaning the house early because we were also going to the venue early. They say there will be pictures taken first, and there will be media coverage as well. When we got to the venue, I immediately saw how organized the entire reception was. The designs there are very big and fancy; Mommy and Daddy really prepared them. Sabrina and I just arrived, so when I finished taking pictures there, I immediately picked up Ashton. "I missed you!" I said happily to my nephew. I just hugged him and took a picture of him with my pho

    "How are you, Architect? I was worried about you earlier," asked me a rather old woman who was a friend of Mommy's. "I'm alright, ma'am. Maybe I'm just tired from yesterday's work," I answered, then shrugged my shoulders. "Oh! You should get some rest sometimes. Don't just work; take some rest. Health is more important," she reminded me. "I don't know about that daughter of mine. She works too hard, and even on weekends instead of resting, she's still working!" Mommy has fuel there. I just laughed and shook my head because I had become their topic. When I was relieved, I announced that I was going to meet my other co-workers and friends who had attended the party. I saw Wendy earlier, but because there were so many people there, she disappeared from my sight. The engineer and architect acquaintances I saw there, I said hello to one by one, so they only asked me if I was fine because they said they saw what happened to me earlier. I was holding wine while greeting the guests ther

    "Hey! he called to me. When I felt him getting closer to me, I moved further away from him. I'm ashamed now because I couldn't stop the tears from coming out of my eyes. I covered my face with my palms, and no matter how hard I tried to calm myself there, I couldn't do it anymore. "Are you crying?" he asked, as if he couldn't see my sobbing. "L-Leave me alone. P-Please!" I scolded him and pushed him away again. My voice finally broke there, which is why I almost closed my eyes tightly. "Why are you crying?" he asked, and there was a hint of concern. When I mustered up the courage, I straightened up and immediately wiped away my tears. I took a deep breath, then walked over to a bench to sit there. I'm a little calmer now, and there aren't too many tears coming out of my eyes. "I'm going to ask you one more question. Why are you crying?" he repeated his question earlier. That's serious, and it's like he's really curious why I'm crying now. Isn't that obvious? Isn't it obvious

    That's what happened to the whole party. We just drank there with our old friends. Marcus' group also joined us because we were all friends there. Even though we were having fun there, I still limited my drinking. I feel that something bad will happen again if I get drunk that night. "Shoot it!" Marcus told me. I looked at the glass in his hand, which was full of wine. They are drinking hard drinks now, and we are all at one table. I shook my head and moved his hand away from my face. "Wow. You're in denial now?" he asked, then laughed. "It looks like he's really changed," said Liam, who was also next to me. I'm between them and Marcus now, and our friends are busy talking. We would have been almost complete there, only because Stella and Caroline weren't there. "Yeah. Maybe her boyfriend forbade her not to drink too much tonight," Marcus replied to Liam. I shook my head and rolled my eyes at him because Marcus started teasing me again. "Shut up, Marcus. I don't really have a

    I ignored what Cristiano told me, and I just left there to go to my car. I found my key, so I went straight to my car when I saw it parked there. I didn't say goodbye to Mommy and Daddy because, just like Mr. Reyes said, it was just for a moment. Even if they find me, there is one person who knows, and that is Cristiano. I just drove to the hotel where Mr. Reyes is staying, which is not far from the hotel where we are also staying. A few minutes passed until I got there. "To Mr. Reyes," I said to the receptionist when I arrived at the hotel. I texted Mr. Reyes when I got there, and the few minutes that I waited for him in the lobby had already passed. That's why I asked the receptionist to call the room of Mr. Reyes. Maybe he fell asleep waiting for me. "Ma'am, Mr. Reyes asked me if you could go to his room because his feet hurt. He said he couldn't walk properly," the receptionist immediately explained to me. "Oh, alright then," I agreed. I was given the hotel room by Mr. Reyes

    "Lily!" The voice echoed like thunder inside the hotel room of Mr. Reyes there. I was even more surprised when the door opened. My eyes widened when I saw who had entered. It finally got in there and quickly walked towards us. I just blinked, and Mr. Reyes caused my eyes to grow bigger. Less than a few seconds later, Mr. Reyes fell down, and there are traces of blood on his face. When I finally got my strength back, I stood up. "Cristiano!" I shouted and immediately came to him. He did not stop punching Mr. Reyes in the face. That's why I'm so scared and worried, because maybe there's something else Cristiano can do to that old man. "Stop it! Enough!" I said to him. I grabbed Cristiano's arm to stop him and pulled him away with all my strength. He was breathing fast, and I could see it in the rise and fall of his chest. I cried even more when I saw that Mr. Reyes face was almost erased because of Cristiano's punches. "Are you all right?" he asked me. I couldn't speak because

    I don't know how I slept that night. The only thing I remember is falling asleep on the sofa while my friends were watching over me. When I woke up, I was already in bed in my room. I have also changed my clothes, and I guess Sabrina did it for me. I moved on the bed to get up, but I groaned when I felt the pain in my body. I feel like I've been beaten, and that's not far from what happened to me last night because of what Mr. Reyes said. I don't feel fear anymore, but I'm still not sure if the trauma has completely disappeared from me. I forced myself to get up from my bed and take a shower immediately. I soaked in the bath while remembering what happened last night. If Cristiano hadn't come last night and if I hadn't grabbed the key card from Mr. Reyes to open the door last night, maybe it would have been worse for me. I had no idea that would happen to me because I had so much trust in him. That's why, to this day, I still can't believe that he did that to me and that he planned

    "Are you sure it's okay if they interview you?" Cristiano asked me. We were in the garden now, and it was just the two of us there because Sabrina and my three other friends had already left. They still have some work to do, and they really just came here early to check if I'm okay. "Yeah, no problem. Also, I have to answer that," I answered, then shrugged my shoulders. Cristiano nodded at me. He said that there are policemen coming here to interview me about what happened last night so that the case against Mr. Reyes can proceed. "You can say no if you don't want. We all know that you've been traumatized by what happened last night," he told me. I shook my head because it was fine with me. Another thing is for me to be clear about what really happened. Someone is spreading false news that I'm Mr. Reyes mistress; that's why I went to his hotel, where he was, and I knew that those were our company's competitors. Daddy is also taking care of that because he is clearing our name now

    CRISTIANO'S POV."You should come to the event, Cristianous. Your brothers are expecting you tonight." It was my mom who's forcing me to come to the Scott Family event.I finished the whiskey I was drinking before I sighed and answered Mama."Alright. See you later."I know Mama is very happy because I agreed to join them at that event because I haven't been with them for a long time. She has requested me several times, and even once I did not accept her invitation. Maybe it's time. It's time to show up for them again."So, you're coming home to Manila to attend the event?" Andrew asked me, who had been by my side for a while.I nodded as I answered him, then poured whiskey into my glass again."Well, that's good. It's only right that you go home to be with your family," he told me.Andrew is also right. Now that I'm with him and I've trained him in my jobs, he's the one who rarely has meetings with my clients.

    Cristiano and I returned to Manila, and Sabrina was very happy when she found out that we had returned with my memory. I don't know how I should feel now because, since I can remember, I've been sadder. I was sad because I feel like Mom and Dad died just yesterday.I looked at the wide garden of our house while our maids were busy arranging the long, big table in the middle. It was noisy there because of the shouting and laughter of Sabrina's three children. My two arms were crossed over my chest while standing in front, and I couldn't help but smile because of my nieces and nephews.Sabrina is preparing here at our old house for my homecoming. I don't know why she had to prepare such a dinner, even though we could have eaten outside."Lily."I looked at Cristiano, who stood next to me. He was wearing long white sleeves and black pants. I glanced at him because it looked like he meant to wear that so that what he was wearing would match the white mini dress I was wearing."Are you all

    FLASHBACK!I wiped the tears that ran down my cheeks and took a deep breath to regain my courage. So much happened, and until now, it's still hard for me to sink it into my mind.The night Cristiano was shot, I thought I would never see him alive again. I thought he would never hear from me that I had forgiven him for all the sins he committed in our past. I thought I would lose him forever.Everything I thought of for Cristiano went to someone else because Mommy disappeared that night. She died because of the ambush that happened in our house while celebrating my father's birthday. I blame everything on me because if I had not returned to the Philippines, that incident would not have happened. I hope Mommy is still alive, and I hope Dad didn't get sick because of Mommy's loss.I'm sitting in front of Mom and Daddy's grave today, and I can't believe that the two most important people in my life are gone."I'm sorry if I failed to give you a grandchild from me," I said, holding Dad's g

    And lastly, I thought I would finally have freedom and happiness in my life. I thought I wouldn't be miserable anymore, and I wouldn't feel any sadness, but I was wrong. I thought wrong.It's hard to wake up every day, and you don't remember anything, and you don't even recognize yourself. I don't know how it happened, but I just woke up one morning feeling like everything had changed. I just woke up one day, and I don't remember anything.I was sweating profusely while walking down the long stairs. I feel a pain in my stomach, and I can't explain how much it hurts. Until I looked at my thigh, and I saw a lot of blood coming out there. At the same time as the blood dripped on my thigh, my tears also fell."Lily! Lily!" a cold baritone made my eyes open.I almost took a deep breath when I finally woke up. I felt my hands trembling, and because of the fear I felt, I immediately covered my face. My tears flowed because I still felt the fear and pain in my heart."Lily, it's just a dream.

    In the moments that I wait for Cristiano's arrival, I fight against my sleepiness and fatigue. I haven't had much of a break yet because that was also the day I returned home from America. My nervousness and fear prevailed so much that no matter how heavy my eyelids were, I could not close them. More than half an hour has passed, and I'm sure Cristiano is close. I stood up from my seat and looked out the window again. The men guarding there still didn't leave, so I just held my breath. Aren't they tired or sleepy? I just shook my head, and I was in agony. I just hope Cristiano brought enough men because Mike has too many men. I was standing there for a while when I felt the watch in my pocket vibrate, so I quickly took it out to look at it. Cristiano was calling, so I didn't take too long to answer because of the nervousness I was feeling earlier. "We're here. The house has three floors. What floor are you on?" Cristiano asked me immediately. "Second floor," I answered. "Alright.

    "We've been separated for a long time since our baby was lost. So, why don't you want to let me go?" I asked him. There was a tear in the corner of my eye, but I immediately looked up to stop the tears from flowing. I told myself that I would never cry in front of him again. "I-I don't want us to separate. Forgive me, Lily. I will accept everything; just don't divorce me," he answered me, and his hug tightened even more. I got out of his arms to get him away from hugging me, but he was too strong for me. "Leave me alone," I told him. I felt him take a deep breath before he completely separated me from the embrace, but my eyes widened at what he did next. "W-What are you doing?" I stammered to him. I looked around us, and I was very thankful because there was no one there. He knelt down and held my hand. "Don't leave me. Please." His voice broke as he reached for my hands to hold them. I had to bend down to look at him and straighten him up from kneeling, but he didn't move, j

    [After Flashback: Continuation of Chapter 8] *** "I-I'm so sorry to hear that, Lily. If only I knew what you went through," Liam told me. I wiped my tears and immediately drank the wine in front of me. I never thought that in a few years I would cry again. That made it very difficult for me to move on. After I asked Sabrina to help me take me to another country without anyone knowing, I started to forget everything that happened, but I still can't help but remember it sometimes. "What Cristiano did to you was wrong, but have you forgiven him yet? Are you ready to face him again?" Liam asked me. I laughed and shook my head because I could really face Cristiano. I really feel a little scared because I don't know how we will both react when we meet again. The only thing I want right now is to divorce our marriage, which is why I can't help but get angry every time he just throws away the papers I send him. Liam and I had a good conversation because I was able to explain to him eve

    No one can say how much pain I feel right now. I just lost my child, and that's because Cristiano hurt me. I blame myself because if I hadn't fought him, I hope it wouldn't have happened. If only I had stayed in that room and made him hurt me. I was just stupid while sitting in the hospital bed. I've been crying there for a while now, and occasionally I'll stop when I get tired. I can't accept what happened. I can't accept that the child I was waiting for disappeared in an instant. I have never even touched her or seen her, and I will never see her as a woman with me. "Eat this so you can get some strength. I called Sabrina," said Cristiano. He never left my side, even though I pushed him away several times. I cried even more because I remembered our parents and siblings, who were very anxious for the arrival of my future child, but that will never happen. I have no appetite at all. I don't want to see Cristiano because I just remembered falling down the stairs. I'm afraid that he

    "Why are you returning the words that should be yours to me? You're the one who's cheating here and not me!" I added to him. He is really the one who is cheating on both of us, not me. He returned to his ex; he was seeing her secretly. Francine's husband and I are being cheated on. "So, you're recovering? You're doing this to shame me?! Your face is thick! I only married you because I was shocked and because of the child you're carrying! I agree to marry a girl, but nothing like you!" he continued. I wiped my tears and shook my head at what he was saying. There is no truth in that because cheating is something I can never do because I know how it feels. "I'm not taking it back. I'm not fooling you-" "Stop lying!" he shouted because I stopped talking. "You know Liam likes you; that's why you're going out with him! I wish you'd just marry him! You were a bit shy at first, but you like him too!" he said to me one after the other. I almost caught my breath from crying there. I shoo
