Once Nathaniel had driven away from the scene with Alexandrine, Johnson fell to the ground and remembering how he left Alexandrine by herself, just so that he could get Tina out of harm's way, he said painlessly, " I would have lost Alexandrine today if not for that Frost guy. He came just in the nick of time and saved her while my negligence would have cost her life. What would I have done if because of me she had lost her life today? Will I be able to live on with myself?"" One thing's for sure though; After what I have done, never will she want to see me again or let me come near her." He sighed sadly. " Regardless of how much she must hate me and my guts, I have to see her and make sure she's perfectly alright."" Mr. Santos—----" The doctor's call brought Johnson back to his senses. He returned to Tina's side to listen to the instructions." We treated her the best we could but you might want to take her to the hospital for further care." The doctor left and Johnson looked at Ti
“ Who are you and what do you want from me?” Alexandrine questioned the men inside the car and one of them said, “ What will you do once you find out?” and another followed almost immediately, “ It’s not as if you’ll be able to escape from here even if we were to tell you the truth.”Alexandrine sighed in despair as what they were saying wasn’t entirely inaccurate, however, they didn’t notice Alexandrine’s attempt to free herself for a few minutes now. “ This must be related to Tina again. Why is she always targeting me?” Alexandrine subconsciously muttered in despair.“ Please let me go and I promise to forget this ever happened.” Alexandrine kept pleading with them to let her go until one of them noticed something amiss.“ Boss, she’s trying to free herself.” He shouted and Alexandrine flinched, fearing what the men would do now that they had found out her plan to escape from them." Were you intending to escape from the start? Could that be why you were bullshitting us for these la
“ What? You still haven’t found out about her whereabouts.” Johnson was speaking with a detective over the phone. When Alexandrine had disappeared and was presumed dead, thanks to a corroborative police investigation, it was reported that Alexandrine Claire might still be alive.Johnson, hoping for the news to be true, hired investigators to search for her but none of the investigators he hired were able to find the slightest information about her. It was as if she had just been engulfed by the earth with no traces to be left or seen.“ Johnson, please come eat!” Tina came to fetch Johnson for dinner but the latter glared at her and said, “ I’m not hungry, so leave me alone.” Johnson walked past her to which she stopped him and asked, “ Why are you treating me that way? What have I done to deserve going through such hardships?”Johnson broke free from her grasp and said, “ You did nothing wrong, Tina. I’m just tired of the work that has to be done prior to the wedding. Go and eat, I’l
Alexandrine was way too focused on the news to notice her son’s antics. “ Why didn’t he marry Tina until now? Could there be a hidden reason behind it?” Alexandrine kept spacing out more and more as she wondered about Johnson and Tina’s current relationship.Whereas, Joseph was looking through the net to find information about Johnson. Biting his lip, he muttered silently, “ If this man who looks so much like me truly is my father, then he cannot marry another woman.”Noticing how focused her brother was, Marie approached him and asked, “ Brother, what are you doing?” Joseph looked at her and muttered, “ I’d like to go on an adventure.”“ An adventure?” Marie looked confused but asked her brother, “ Are you planning on going on that adventure alone?” She looked at him, her eyes glittering like stars. Joseph grinned and muttered in response, “ Why would I go on that fun adventure alone without you?”“ The reason I even brought it up is just that I’d like you to accompany me on that adv
Alexandrine hurried to leave the hotel in search of her precious children. “ These kids of mine, how did they end up at a church while buying breakfast?” Locking the door behind her, she went in search of a taxi, “ Something doesn't add up in this story.” Alexandrine thought then, as the taxi showed up and she hopped inside straight away.As Alexandrine was on her way to K Church, she subconsciously muttered, “ Joseph and Marina, I hope you’re both okay. Wait for me until I come to fetch you.”At the same time, Joseph and Marina were about to enter the church. “ Mommy will be here soon.” Marina stated to which Joseph added, “ For there to be a confrontation between them, we must be inside the church and not outside.”Joseph and Marina stumbled upon a well-dressed couple entering the church and swiftly followed them to get entrance. “ Wow, so pretty—--” Joseph and Marina were enamored by the luxuriousness of the wedding venue.Joseph was the first to snap back to his senses, rememberin
Alexandrine hurried so that Johnson wouldn't be able to catch them. Fortunately for her, there was a taxi arriving and she managed to stop it in the nick of time. " Taxi—--- Taxi!"Johnson on the other hand ran outside of the wedding venue, but unfortunately, Alexandrine had already left by the time he got outside." Hello, I need a favor from you." Johnson used his connection to find out about Alexandrine's whereabouts and where she was currently residing." I won't let you run away like this without giving me a proper explanation." Johnson got inside his car and started driving. Approximately ten minutes later, he got the information he sought about Alexandrine's current whereabouts." Thank you so much for this!" As the call ended, Johnson hurried so that he could catch up to Alexandrine on time.Alexandrine on the other hand was still trying to grasp how she had run into Johnson and Tina today. Looking at her children, it didn't take her long to figure out which of her children wa
Alexandrine looked at her children as she didn’t want to decide without consulting with them first. “ What do you think, my cuties?” Joseph muttered to his mother, “ The decision’s up to you. We’ll respect whatever you decide for us, Mom.”Looking toward Marina, she nodded in agreement with her brother. Having gained her children’s approval, Alexandrine looked toward Johnson and muttered as she locked eyes with him, “ You won, Johnson. My children and I will stay but only temporarily, so don’t get the wrong idea that this is a forever stay.”Johnson was happy regardless as he had succeeded in stopping Alexandrine from leaving with the children. “ Whatever you say, I’m happy that you decided to stay with our children.”Hearing Johnson say “ Our children”, she felt happy somehow deep inside. She had imagined this moment so many times and now that it was finally upon her, she wanted things to be done the right way. Pulling her children forward, she told them, “ My cuties, from today unti
Johnson kept watching his children play by the fountain until the thought of joining them came to mind. Walking over to his children, Joseph stands on guard against him. Johnson felt saddened seeing his son's reaction. Due to what happened earlier, he thought Joseph was starting to warm up to him but seeing how things were going currently, he wasn't so sure.Not wanting to disturb, he turned to leave and that's about when Joseph called up to him, " Are you planning to leave just like that?" Johnson stopped and as he turned around, he saw his children staring at him. " You hurt our mom very deeply. You hurt her so much that she lied to us about you. Don't you find it natural that we'll have our guard against you?" Joseph expressed his point of view to Johnson who asked in response. " You mentioned just now that your mother lied to you about me. What exactly is it that she lied about? Could you tell me?"Johnson looked at his children, expecting an answer from them. Marina wanted to spe
