Nate was caught off caught, but he could let her ruin what he planned.He was about to speak when Crystal chuckled. "I'm just kidding, Nate."He was still frowning while staring at her. "If you can see your face now? You'll be laughing too," she continued and then started to walk away from him.Nate sighs in relief. He was too stunned at what Crystal said to him. His eyes fixed on Crystal as she walked towards the mansion."Why are you here? What brings you here? Or... Do you know what I'm planning to do?" he asked himself while staring at Crystal.As Crystal headed inside the mansion, the smile on her lips slowly faded away."You can't ruin my family, Mr. Brown. You can't!"4 months later... Back in the province, Marianne was about to deliver the baby. They were in the hospital waiting for the doctor.Emma and Ethel were there to support her. They gave her a reassuring smile before she delivers the baby.Marianne looked at them and managed to smile even though she was in pain.As th
After a week, Marianne was discharged. She was feeling a bit better after delivering the baby. She carried Zoey towards their room and gently put her on the bed.She smiled while looking at her. "Welcome home, Zoey."Emma then headed inside the room and looked at them. She was happy seeing her daughter and granddaughter at the same time.She walked towards Marianne. "You'll be a great mom, Marianne. Let's raise her together, okay?" she nodded her head and leaned her head on her mother's shoulder.They both watched Zoey asleep. She closed her eyes and felt the warmth in her mother's embrace.As the night progressed, Marianne was awake and Zoey started to cry."Hi, Zoey. What happened? Are you hungry? Do you want Mama's milk?" she asked and then started to breastfeed her.Emma who just heard Zoey crying, heads towards the room. "Are you okay?" she asked, her voice worried at her."I'm fine, mother. She's just hungry," she uttered and continued to feed her with her milk.Emma smiled whil
Back at the mansion, Ramon was still recovering. A knock on his door caught his attention.His secretary came in, "Mr. Anderson. I'm here to report.""Alright. What is it? Spill it," he said."Based on my investigation. Mr. Brown is an orphan. He grew up alone and I don't see any documents about his biological parents."Ramon frowned while listening to him. "Are you sure about that?""Yes, Mr. Anderson."Meanwhile, Nate was about to head inside the room when he heard their conversation. His eyes widened. "Why did you have to investigate me? Why?"He then hid in a corner as Ramon's secretary headed out.As the secretary finally left the mansion, Nate frowned while watching him leave. His gaze turned to Ramon's door and he clenched his hands into fists."You don't trust me anymore, Ramon? Alright, I don't trust you either. So, we're even."Later that night, Nate heads inside Ramon's bedroom together with Felix. He looked down, but then Ramon spoke."Nate, I'm sorry," his eyes widened to
Nate had been sleepless while thinking about what Crystal knew about his identity. He didn't want someone to ruin his plan just because of a woman.He clenched his hands into fists and slammed the table. "I need to stop her what she's thinking about me."As he head out of his apartment, he then drove towards the mansion. Felix called him to do something for him.As the door swung open, he headed inside, but then he paused when he bumped into Crystal.She gave him a broad smile." Hi, Mr. Brown."Nate just bowed his head and walked towards Felix's room, but then Crystal spoke."Can we talk for a second?" It took him a few more seconds before he nodded his head and they headed towards the garden to talk in private. As they arrived at the garden, Nate waited for her to speak. He then took a glance at her and then he saw Crystal just give him a broad smile. "What is it, Ms. Anderson? What do you want to talk about?" Crystal looked at him with a smile. She then leaned in closer to his
Ethel's eyes widened while looking at the man who had a gun. Her knees started to tremble while looking at him. As the man looked at her, she then looked away and hid all the money into a safe place. The man heads inside while still carrying his gun. Nate, who had fallen asleep on the countertop, didn't know what was going on inside the bar. "Where is the woman here? Bring me some of them! I want to taste them all!" the man raged as he raised his gun, causing all the people to be scared of him. The music also stops as the DJ makes his way out from the emergency exit. Ethel kneeled as she was looking for her phone. She then dialed the police officer's number, but after it rang, she had been found by the man with the gun. "What are you doing, huh!" Ethel dropped her phone on the corner and then the man grabbed her out of the counter. "Hello? Is someone there?" an officer answered the call. "Let me go!" Ethe shouted as she wanted the officer to hear her over the phone. "He
Ethel had been walking back and forth since earlier. She was still waiting for the doctor to come out of the operating room.As the door opened, she hurriedly walked towards them. "Doctor? How is he? Is he-"The doctor took a deep breath. "The operation was successful, but...he's still unconscious and we will monitor his situation."She bowed her head. "Ah, I see. Thank you, Doctor."Ethel headed towards his room. She heard all the beeping from the monitors around him. Tubes were inserted on him and a tear started to stream down her eyes."Why did you do that, Mister? You should have let me do it. I should have done it!"Tears continued to fall from her eyes while looking at the unconscious man before her. She looked down and saw the tears dripped down to the floor."Mister... Please wake up! Please!" she shouted as she kneeled before him. She leaned her head towards the bedside and cried.The following day, Ethel had stayed with him 24/7. She waited for him to wake up, but then she f
"There you are," he uttered as he panted, catching his breath. He smiled and was about to walk closer to her, when suddenly he paused, seeing that she was with another man.The smile slowly faded away from his lips. "What is this? Why is this happening?" he asked while his gaze was fixed on them.He could see how happy Ethel was with that man. She was taking care of him. He took a deep sigh turned his back on them and left the hospital in despair.As he headed back toward his car, sadness dominated him. "Did I just lose again? I had to take the risk, but why? Why I'm losing her again?" he asked himself and then started the engine and drove away.On the other hand, Ethel was taking care of Nate because she felt guilty about what had happened to him.They're in the garden now, Nate wanted to breathe some fresh air. She was staring at the sky as Nate was staring at her.He sighed and smiled at the same time. He was happy with her, but then he was still thinking that Ethel loved another m
In the following weeks, Ethel never received any news from Marcus. She had been worried about him and took her phone and dialed his number, but then, he didn't answer the call."Why is this happening again? Is he ghosting me just like what Nate did?"She decided to turn off her phone and headed towards the bar. The bar had been cleaned, yet as she arrived, it was still closed."Where is he?" she asked herself as her eyes roamed around the place."Ethel!" her co-worker called her and walked towards her."The bar had been closed after the incident. Should we find another job now? I had many bills to pay," she said and Ethel was thinking about it as well."I think you're right. But, wait," she then walked towards the door and placed a note."Why did you do that?" she asked in confusion."I just think we must leave the bar with a note, so that, the owner wouldn't be waiting for us," she explained and her co-worker nodded in agreement.As they strolled the city, looking for jobs, Janine, h
