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
"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.
Belle hesitated to go to the counter to pay for the things inside her cart. She took a deep breath as sweat formed on her forehead. Knowing it would cost so much but she had no choice. She needed all of what was inside for her hospital internship. She has spent all her savings on other school requirements and she still needed more. Her salary from her part-time work is still on the weekend and she doesn't want to touch the remaining money she has from her parents' insurance. With a remaining year to finish her medical school, she has to stretch every resource she has, to survive. Staring at her cart again, she took another deep breath to ease the tension constricting her chest since earlier. Wanting to end her predicament, she mindlessly rushed towards th
The pain in Belle's whole being seemed to succumb her into the darkness that she didn't complain when they made her sit in the corner of the shop while waiting for the policemen who indeed arrived after a while. "Officer brings this girl to the station, she stole this card and attempted to use it here. She is a fraud" the cashier pointed Belle to the police officers. The officers stared at her with a scrutinizing gaze before turning back to the cashier. "Have you tried to contact the owner of the card? Did the owner declare the card stolen?" the officer casually asked. "We have just informed the owner officer but his assistant received my call" the manager interrupted and explained. "Then we have to wait for them, I just can't arrest her witho
She looked so scared and unexpectedly too skinny when I held her body. She hid her face in my chest the whole time we were walking towards the entrance where my limo was waiting. Her chestnut brown hair covered my chest and hid her face from anyone's curious eyes. I held her gently, so afraid I might break her fragile bone and only let her go when we had to enter the opened door of the vehicle the head of my security is holding. "My...my room is at building Z behind the J Mall" she mumbled softly when we were seated inside. I could see her awkwardly looking around inside the vehicle. I noticed her joined hands on her lap she had been unconsciously wringing the minute she let go of me. "That's a slum area there," I said casually, containing my gri
We arrived at a seemed-to-be-exclusive property and I am in awe of the vastness of the whole place. A huge mansion is proudly towering the well-maintained garden adorned by different lights. "Is this your house?" I shyly asked while feeling so conscious of his intent gaze. I just can't guess what he is thinking with his unreadable expression. "Yes and your home from now on" he just briefly said with the same expressionless face. I stared at him for a while and turned to look at the huge mansion in front of us. "It's so huge" I mumbled softly with pure admiration. "It's empty" I heard him whisper. I turned to him and stared at his face. Looking at the mansion, his gaze was blank. I don't know what he meant but
"Here's your toothbrush, brush your teeth now" Ethan handed Belle the new toothbrush and got his own from the rack. They both brushed their teeth while looking at each other in the mirror. Something inside of Ethan felt a peculiar warmth while looking at their reflections doing something so intimate. It never crosses his mind he could do what he was doing now until Belle happened. He never allowed anyone to get close to him to the extent of sharing this simple act of brushing teeth, but with the girl he just met at the bar, it surprisingly felt so right. On the other hand, Belle is already wearing the pajama set from Ethan. It is a lot bigger for her small frame. She felt more secure wearing something, the man who has always helped her, owns. "You should eat a lot, you are so skinny" Et
Belle abruptly paused and gawked at the bathroom door where the half naked Ethan is standing, only with pajama pants, freely displaying the very prominent six packs abs and the sinful v-shaped that Belle doesn't want to think of where it leads. She even shook her head just to shake off the indecent thoughts that suddenly creeped her mind.Upon seeing the almost horrified look on Belle's face, Ethan absentmindedly looked at himself to check what caused Belle's stunned expression."Something wrong Belle?" Ethan worriedly asked while he took a step towards her.Belle blinked a few times while trying to compose herself, unfortunately, the cause of her instant panic is
"Mr. Oh another delivery of four game machines and one dance machine" one of the securities informed Oh of the delivery truck parked in front of the mansion that they just have finished checking.Oh just shook his head in disbelief as he led and instructed the delivery men where to put the machines. It's been a week that deliveries of different things kept on arriving in the mansion.The first one was the freezer of gelato, then a whole library of medical books and instructional materials, laptops, desktops, and medical dummies of different kinds.There are also four big candy vending machines scattered around the whole mansion. The construction of the pool slide is also ongoing and almost finished.A playroom was also renovated for different online and virtual games.

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.
