The whole family were called and ushered to the conference room where all the prominent media representatives were all waiting.
Ethan and Belle entered while holding each other's hand, following the matriarch and the patriarch of the family. Pete and Park followed behind and lastly, Cassey and Darvid.
The buzzing echoed in the room when the whole family entered together, with some unfamiliar faces which piqued the curiosity of the press. Curious eyes focused on the joined hands of Ethan and Belle, while the others were looking at the unknown man beside the CEO's serious executive assistant, Pete Santana.
The family got settled on the long table prepared for
After the press conference they had a lively and sumptuous dinner at Ethan's mansion.Everyone was still in the living room having a short conversation when Belle had a chance to talk with Park."Ahm, I know you were at the hospital that day... It was you whom I saw that day" Belle whispered with a grateful smile and a gauging look.Park looked at Belle and smiled warmly before he winked at her."I'm always around... for you" Park whispered which made Belle to gape at him when she remembered something."You were the one at the door!" Belle exclaimed in disbelief as she got another wink while she continued to stare at Park in awe."No one could ou
Belle entered the hospital and instantly felt the intent and curious stares from everyone around her. She heaved a sigh as she continued to walk straight, without looking at anyone until she reached the nurse station where Phil and Shine were already waiting for her with Sam and Mel."Good morning" Belle cheerfully greeted everyone."Good morning Mrs. Ethan DelValle" Phil teased with his meaningful smile while Shine and the two nurses were also smiling at her."You are creepy Phil, stop it!" Belle incredulously glared at her friend who just chuckled at her."Good morning Ma
Belle tried to ignore every peculiar gazes from around and focused on her internship which she always has been her main goal. She was used to people around her treating her differently after all that had happened. Since she realized that she cannot do anything about the drastic changes in her life, she just needed to blend in and that's what she has been doing.There were several instances that she would face an awkward situation in the hospital because of her affiliation with the famous family, but she has dealt with it better than she did before and she was grateful. She is just hoping that there will be no more drama so she could focus solely on her internship and not the worries about how she would present herself as fiancee of the famous CEO.
The engagement party has been set and guests are starting to arrive from different cities and countries where Ethan and the family DelValle have friends and closest business associates.Belle is so overwhelmed by the whole preparation but she hasn't lifted a single finger since Meryl and Cassey arranged everything. She continued to have her internship while everyone was so busy with her engagement preparations.Few days before her engagement party, she met the famous person who was also the reason why she almost gave up on Ethan. She felt anxious with the idea of meeting the woman but she has no choice since she is Ethan's friends. She also designed her engagement ring and their wedding rings.
The huge well lit function hall is elegantly adorned for the occasion where the formal engagement of the famous CEO Ethan DelValle and his brother will be celebrated.Guests started to arrive and the hall was slowly filled with elegant ladies and fine gentlemen, all are prominent figures of society. The DelValle family had also arrived and they instantly mingled with all the guests while Ethan and Belle had not arrived yet.Sylvia Smith arrived alone with her very sophisticated and elegant long gown, a bloody red off shoulder gown that perfectly fit her slender body. Her entrance made quite a stir among the guests who paused and watched her sway her way towards the DelValle family.
As the night got deeper, guests have fully witnessed how Ethan and Belle love each other. The couple is literally inseparable and Ethan would constantly sneak his arms around Belle to keep her close to him."Hello Sylvia…" Ethan greeted the model when they already had the chance since they have been caught with other guests right after they finished with the dance."Hello Ethan, you looked dashing tonight" Sylvia smiled with so much admiration towards Ethan while Belle was just quietly listening."You too Belle, you looked very pretty" Sylvia turned to Belle and gave her a sweet smile which Belle responded with a polite smile and a
Sylvia looked up at Ethan with her hopeful smile while Ethan remained staring back at her with his calm gaze."I'm happy that you have seen my point Ethan" Sylvia fondly said while she continued to play her hands on Ethan's shoulder."Yes Sylvia, I can clearly see your point" Ethan said with his casual tone."You still have time, this is just an engagement so you can still rectify everything Ethan. I can help you" Sylvia continued eagerly."Of course you can keep Belle on your side if she is really satisfying your sexual needs. That is all she is, a bed warmer so no need to marry
Belle walked calmly back to the great hall and instantly Cassey who followed her earlier was on her side."Belle…" Cassey cautiously called her which made her turn to Ethan's sister and smile."Cassey" Belle smiled before she turned to walk back to the great hall to Ethan's family who were all staring at her."Where's Ethan?" Meryl cautiously asked but she is starting to be disturbed with the way Belle looked. Belle is unusually composed, which made Meryl start to be worried."He is still with Sylvia and Pete" Belle calmly stared at Meryl's eyes before she softly replied wi
"Good day Mr. CEO" hospital staff greeted Ethan as he walked past several employees on the way to Belle's private office. Ethan would just nod in response to everyone while maintaining his serious and stoic face. His presence in EDV has been on a regular basis since he was spending his lunch time with his wife. Belle is still engrossed with her discussion with Phil when the door opened and Ethan stepped inside with his cool aura. "Your delicious lunch is here, served in coat and tie" Phil whispered playfully after he turned to the door and saw Ethan. "and very hot…" Belle responded playfully while she stared at Ethan with her sultry look, making Ethan smirk.
The whole family gathered at one table with the children, Neo and Amber, while Carmeine is asleep in Darvid's arms."What happened?" Lucas asked calmly while looking at Ethan and Park before he stared at Neo who stared back at his grandfather with his calm gaze."Migz hurt Amber, he pushed her with his elbow because he doesn't want to play with her. He kept on picking on Amber even if she didn't do anything wrong to him" Neo softly explained to his grandfather like an adult while everyone listened earnestly."He insulted Amber, he told her that she is a homeless girl because her parents don't want her and she was adopted by… shamel
Belle plastered a smile on her face as she entered the huge function room where the family and closest friends and associates gather for another DelValle's birthday party. Her smile widened when she spotted her little family mingled with other guests. She went to her son first who is near the door, playing."Hello baby, I'm sorry mama's late" Belle bent to greet her son who is playing with a four year old cousin. Neo instantly smiled, the moment he spotted his mother approaching him."It's okay mama, you made it on time. Is the baby okay?" Neo responded with a fond smile while he looked at his mother's beautiful face."Yes buddy, t
Belle entered the hotel where she will be meeting the entire family for Carmeine's first birthday, Cassey's and David's baby girl, when she bumped into someone very familiar to her."Belle… oh sorry, it's Dr. Belle DelValle" the woman greeted her with such sophistication that if it was six years ago she would feel tremendously insecure."Miss Smith…." Belle smiled back as she stopped and faced the woman who still looked like a doll despite her retirement from the glamorous life as a model."You look great Dr. Belle and a very famous doctor now…" Sylvia spoke with a calculated tone and a too familiar smile which creeped
Belle is ushered to the certain table reserved only for her in a five star restaurant owned by the family. She will be waiting for Ethan to join her for lunch."Doctor Belle, here is your water" the waiter said with a smile."Thank you" Belle nodded and smiled.She was busy messaging Ethan when she noticed a boy in the counter area, arranging clean dinnerware. His movement is very awkward, obviously a new help in the kitchen.She sent her message to Ethan and continued to watch the boy with what he is doing. He looked hardworking but a bit awkward, obviously so afraid to break something, which is very understandable for a newbie like him.
"Sir good day, can I ask if Dr. Belle is already here?" the boy politely asked the guard who stared at him suspiciously."You are the same boy from yesterday, right?" the guard asked curiously when the boy looked familiar."Yes sir, I'm with my father yesterday. Can I ask if Dr. Belle is here today?" the boy smiled timidly before he tried to squint to look inside the hospital."Dr. Belle will not be coming today again, boy. If you want, you can just leave your phone number so I could call you if she arrives here" the guard offered while looking at the boy with sympathy. Obviously the boy is not from around the city based on his old fashioned clothes which he clearly inherited from some old relatives or his father.
"One of the country's most prominent surgeons, Dr. Belle Perez-DelValle has again led the conduct of another successful medical mission to hundreds of patients for medical consultations and ten lucky recipients of free surgical procedures at EDV Medical Center. As we all remember, every year, Dr. Belle has been giving free surgery to economically deprived patients aside from different scholarships that her foundations have awarded to several hard working students""Dr. Belle Perez-DelValle's philanthropic deeds had been a great help to the populace of the city and even of the entire country. She has even earned a name as the 'living Saint for the poor' by several people she had helped. Such an endearing name for a great doctor who never turned her back to anyone who needed her help, she indeed deserves the name. A once waitress, struggling to have two decent meals a day is now the beacon of h
Neo became the crowd favorite when Belle and Ethan brought him for the first time as his first public appearance when Belle was invited for a ribbon cutting of the new pediatric clinic of her friend and senior from medical.Three months ago, Belle together with all her classmates took the physician licensure examination and just last week the result was out and 90% of their batchmates passed. Next week she will be starting her residency at EDV together with Phil and Shine, and some of their classmates.The crowd started to gather as the news scattered like a wildfire that the DelValle heir is out today for the public to see.Everyo
"Ooh...he is asleep already" Belle whispered very softly while she ever so slowly sat down beside a half naked Ethan and a two month old baby boy, also naked and only in his diaper.Ethan smiled tenderly and caressed the naked back of their baby, comfortably snuggled on his chest."He likes to sleep there always" Belle smiled lovingly and slowly leaned down to kiss the back of their tiny boy and Ethan's lips."That's why he kept on whimpering earlier in his crib, he wanted a cuddle from dada" Ethan whispered softly with a proud smirk adorned his handsome face.
