Grace was sweeping the yard while Sandra watered the plants in front of the house. She watered the plants every morning so she could get some sun. She is dressed in a long duster and is holding the hose in her right hand while supporting her baby bump with her left. She was still sleepy because the sun had just risen. She yawned while watering the plants.

"When you're finished, come inside and I'll make you some milk."

Sandra nodded in the direction of Grace. One more flower box. When she was finished, she drew the water hose back. When she finished fixing it, she noticed her clothes were wet. She grimaced because it was painful for her.

Grace was already watching television in the living room when she walked in. Grace turned to Sandra and noticed her dress's hem was wet; Sandra looked at it as well.

"I got it earlier, didn't notice; I'll just change for a while-"

When her stomach suddenly swelled up, she came to a halt. Grace realized it wasn't the water from the hose that got Sandra

    "ARE you ready?" She went to her shop and Xyl accompanied her. She is waiting for the dress she will wear in the show to be finished. As well as the three-piece suit that was also designed by Sandra. Xyl looked at Sandra's business card lying on her desk. 'Elle De Luna'. He smiled. Elle from Ellipsis which means not to stop but to continue. The three diamonds are her, her life and her future. No matter what happened she will remain strong. "Ah, it's a good thing you looked at my business card. I'll be habding out some at the after party." Xyl smiled at her. "Yeah, you should do that." Later, someone knocked on her office's door. "Come on in." Said Sandra. Lhen entered with Xyl's suit. Another woman also entered with the dress she was going to use. "Thanks for the hardwork." Sandra smiled at the woman before saying goodbye. Sandra measured the suit to Xyl. It's almost a suit. His buff body becomes clear. "Wow, look at those buff abs." Sandra and Lhen laughed. The s

    DOCTORA Grace returns to Lantaza after celebrating the twins' first birthday. The twins even cried when they took her to the airport. Her return to Lanraza was sudden but necessary. Sheimmediately called Sandra when she got home to her condo. She immediately answered but showed that her children were already asleep. "They are already asleep. They didn't stop crying until Xyl bought them something to eat." Sandra said laughing. She talks to Grace until she says goodbye to rest. Sandra ended the call and then gently patted her twins back. They were sleeping soundly because they were tired from crying and walking to the mall only to stop. Later there was a knock in their room. The door lock turned until Xyl entered completely. He brought milk for her. "Why aren't you resting yet? You still have work tomorrow, don't you?" Xyl approached her and placed Sandra's milk on the bedside. "You should be the one to rest. Maybe you were tired earlier.""You were the one who was tired. Did

    "Are you guys leaving?" Xyl asked when he saw Sandra and her children dressed up. "Yes. We are just walking nearby. I just want to take them for a walk on the side," answered Sandra. "I'll just go with you. I don't have work either, and I also want them to play." Xyl approached the children. "Where do you want to go? Daddy will take you anywhere you want." The twins' eyes twinkle. Demie immediately hugged Xyl."Dad, I wanna go to the park! I want to have balloons again!" Denie smiled brightly too. "Dada, wanna have mickey mouse cotton candy by the bay!""All right, all right. Since I carried Denie last time we went to the park, I will carry Demie this time. Is that good?" Denie nodded quickly. "Yes, Dada! Carry Demie this time. Carry our princess on your back." Sandra laughed at this sight where her D's get along with their father, at least they have a father figure. Denie held her hand and they left the house together. They got into Xyl's car. Sandra was in the passenger seat

    THE whole living room of the house is silent. Xyl felt what was happening. As far as he remembers, Tina is the woman Sandra is now facing. They were both unblinking and little by little he knew they would both cry. Xyl sighed as he excused himself. He went to the room where both were lying twins and Tina's son. While in the living room, Sandra could almost hear her heart beating. Sandra is quiet but as much as possible she wants to say everything, resentment, sadness, anger, complacency, and stories that she has. She is not mad at Tina, nor is she sulking that her friend didn't even tell him that she was alive. "Sandra." She was surprised when Tina called. They stared at each other before Sandra's tears completely fell. She is happy. Maybe she can call all the tears that fall from her eyes tears of joy. Tina slowly approached her and stroked her back. Bowed down. Sandra is perfect. Her palm covered her face. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry if we met this way. I'm sorry because I had t

    "PARTNERSHIP?" Sandra nodded. The truth is that she wanted to tell Tina this for a long time. Tina has her footwear business while Sandra has her fashion line. Since Sandra is in charge of the clothes and Tina on footwear, they will surely make a good combination. Though, she can see that Tina is still doubting, but she wanted to grow with her. "Are you serious about that?" Tina asked Sandra again. "Yes, my business needs a partner to make each other bloom. What do you think if we do this? I make the dress, the suit, the gown, the shirt, the pants and you make the footwear that will be suited for them. I will make a clothes for them, you will make the footwear." "That's a good idea," said Xyl who had just entered the house. He came from work and was still wearing his white robe. He also had his suit case in his right hand while his left hand was busy removing his neck tie. "If I were the investors, your partnership will surely make big profit for each side.

    "WHO are some famous fashion designers you admire?" The editor asked Sandra."Amara Froster from Rarissime," Sandra answered."Oh, the famous Lady Amaral Not surprised though, everyone loves that lady," the editor laughed."Yeah, she was just my favorite courtier and we become friends accidentally.""How did you decide on the name of your clothing line? Ellipsis, right?""It is pretty interesting to talk about it. An ellipsis is a punctuation mark of three dots that shows an omission of words, represents a pause, or suggests there's something left unsaid." Sandra said. "It means there is someting more, it means that there's still something that has not been voiced out yet. Ellipsis means this is not the end, there is so much more, but I won't tell you just yet. I'll show you." "My life has always been like that. I almost want to end everything with a period but I choose to write ellipsis because I want more, I want to tell more. Another reason why Ellipsis is because I have a clothi

    THE show started and they provided a private room for Sandra. The room was located above, and she could overlook what was happening below. It had a heavy-tinted mirror. Inside, there was also a table and a comfortable chair, and she was being served comfortably.The room had a one-way mirror wall where she could see the entire venue, and her room faced the runway. She could freely see what was below her and enjoy the room by herself. There were speakers in every corner of the room, so she could clearly hear what was happening below.As the show began, the designers were introduced one by one, along with their designs. One of the designers introduced was Amara, followed by Sandra. What she liked about this show was that they respected privacy.After a while, a woman arrived and adjusted the microphone she would use for her speech. Once her design was shown, she spoke."Hello, this is Elle. I would like to thank the host for having me here. I would like to thank everyone who believe in m

    He sees the long-awaited hope right in front of him. He can finally see it up close. He can now admire how beautiful Sandra is. She looks so beautiful in her silver fishtail dress. The exposure of her smooth shoulder adds to her allure. Her collarbone also looks tempting. Her eyes were soft as if she never cry. Denver just gazes at her, at his wife, or can he say she was his wife. She looks fine without him, making him hesitate whether he should win Sandra back or not. He couldn't escape the sight of Sandra's tears glistening before she turned away from him. Denver simply watched as Sandra walked away from him.He wants to cross the distance between them and jus tightly embrace Sandra from behind, whispering the words he wants to say to her, words that he don't know if he'll get the chance to say to her. But he doesn't have enough strength to face Sandra. He's still guilty about what he had done. He's ashamed of what he has done. He feels like he does nog have the right. Because he

    "You shouldn't have said that, Madame.""No. It's just right that I told him that. If he still has a conscience, if he can still think about of the others, he will do it. I spoiled him all the time, but that doesn't mean I can't discipline him. I would prefer to support Sandra in hiding rather than help them reconcile. I keep saying it over and over again, he doesn't deserve a second chance. He broke her once, but the damage was everlasting."Cali could only sigh as she watched Madame Madelle. This is a conversation where it seems she no longer wants to make with his child and Sandra to reconcile, but Cali feels the guilt within him. She is always saying that it's partly her fault, which he cannot argue against.I was forced. They are pushing it too much. They believed that infatuation is love, but it's merely an attraction—an attraction that ultimately leads both of them to ruin. It's a pity they didn't work out.

    "WHY are we here?" Anthony asked his wife once more. They were both standing in front of a metal gate with classical carvings. "Hm? I told you, we are going to meet a relative," Madelle happily answered her husband. "Relative? Mine or yours?" Anthony curiously asked his wife who was now gradually getting annoyed by the number of questions. "Ours, Anthony. Also, is it possible? You asked right, since leaving the Philippines, you've been asking more and more questions." "It's because you're confused. We don't have any relatives here? My family side is in Australia, yours. . ." Anthony stopped when Madelle gave him a bad look, "well." "Is it possible, I don't want to face them like this. You are ruining the mood, too much." "It's really my fault, it's you who acted impulsively. My goodness," Anthony scratched the back of his neck because Maddie didn't hit him. "We've been here for a while now. Why don't you ring the doorbell when we get inside," suggested Anthony. "Can you wait a

    "THAT is all we got, Madame," said Madame Madelle's secretary. Madame was scanning through the papers and every single page of it was interesting. She didn't think everyone would reach such scenes. Even the two famous doctors were involved, and of course, the one and only, Cali. Madame Madelle sighed softly. She dismissed her secretary and proceeded on reading. When she read all the details of what Sandra has gone three years ago, she just closed her eyes because she was also guilty. She felt that she was not a good mother-in-law. But looking at the papers again, she smiled. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise. Despite everything she manages to go this far. Madame Madelle is beyond proud. If she was the only one in Sandra's situation, she would have chosen to wait until she died. Or worse she might think of getting revenge. She can't be the only one aggrieved, there should be sympathy. Madame Madelle looked at her watch and realized it was near dusk. From what he found out t

    DENVER was sitting quietly in the living room when his mother came to him. Madame Madelle looked at him intently. The maid has also served him coffee, it's been so long since he came home and his mother just came home. He knows his mom has done something horrible to Abby. And he didn't want to ask anything, afraid that his mother might say something. His mother's face was reder than a tomato all thanks to the mixture of annoyance and anger. "Denver!" She points her finger at him. That alone made him know he really fucked up. He secretly shook his head. "Who are you really kidding, Denver? You can't serve two kings! You can't have two women! Grow up and stand. Choose who you really want to have. Do you really want Sandra to come back? Because if I'm the only one you ask, I'll support Sandra to hide and never show up on you again! Who would believe you love her if you're still like that? Still fooling around." Denver didn't say anything. The last time, he heard nothing. N

    OH, goodness! When it rains, it pours. If it was Denver the other day, now it's Cali. Sandra suppressed a grimace due to Cali's beaming smile at her. “What now?” Sandra asked, her voice tinged with exasperation. “How are you?! We haven't talked in a long time!” Cali said, his enthusiasm almost overbearing. Sandra almost rolled her eyes in annoyance at the man in front of her. She didn't understand why he had suddenly appeared and what his intentions were. “Speak. I'm listening,” she said curtly. “Wow, so formal.” “Did he send you?” Sandra asked irritably, narrowing her eyes. “Who?” Cali feigned innocence. “Who else? And be straightforward with me. Why are you here? What do you want? I swear, you and Denver better stop bothering me, or I'll press charges!” “Did you see Denver? When?” Cali asked curiously. “Stop with the antics, Cali! If you irritate me any further, I will punch you!” A woman entered the café and sat beside Cali. “Hi, I'm Anastasia,” the woman introduced her

    "ARE you home?" Sandra asked the nanny over the phone."We just arrived, Ma'am," the nanny replied."Alright. I'm coming home," she then ended the call.She's nervous. All of a sudden, she feels like something is wrong. She definitely sees the determination in his eyes. When she looked in the mirror, she saw a car following her from behind. She knows whose car it is. She doesn't know what she wants, but she wants to run away.The car follows her honks loudly, as if urging her to stop, but she doesn't want to. She doesn't want to listen to it. What? Why? For what?She thinks if she goes home, Denver will know where she lives. Or worse, he might see the kids, see her with the kids. She doesn't want that; what if he takes the kids away? But why is she here? It feels like just yesterday when Xyl told her he was in the Philippines and she was so happy to go clubbing with his mistress. Sandra angrily looked at the mirror again when it honked again."Damn it! Leave me alone!" she angrily sho

    SANDRA was preparing breakfast when her little twins came to the kitchen and asked for a bottle of milk. Their eyes were still sleepy, which Sandra found cute.“Who wants some bread?” Sandra asked.“Me,” Demielle answered.“Fruits,” Denielle requested.“Hmm, okay,” she replied.“Mom, where's Dad?” asked Demi who's starting to get curious.“You mean, Daddy Xyl? He's out of the country. He left before Mommy Grace,” Sandra answered not giving too much attention to what her daughter asked. “Are they getting married?” Denielle spoke with the milk bottle in his mouth.“No speaking with your mouth full,” Sandra reminded them. “And no, they are not getting married yet.”Despite her answer to her son, Denie seems to know more.“Is Mommy Grace going to be a wife?” Demi innocently asked.“Yes, probably in the future," replied Sandra who starts getting curious why they are asking this kind of question.“Are you a wife, Mom?” Deni suddenly asked.“Of course, I am!” she answered enthusiastically.

    Denver didn't know how to feel when he saw the photo his mother sent. It was annoying, frustrating, and infuriating. Especially now, seeing his mother smiling in front of him, sipping coffee, while his father was massaging her shoulders."I didn't know," his mother said. "I just intended to send a picture. I didn't know the camera went off.""You are lying again," he said angrily to his mother."I am not. I really don't know," she said, lowering the cup she was holding and looked at the photo again. "Wait, isn't that man beside her Dr. Xyl Infantes?""What?" Denver snatched his mother's phone aggressively."Denver!""It can't be.""But it is, isn't it. He's the CEO of Hope Hospital Chain, specialized in cancer patients. I heard he was also a neurosurgeon. And his best friend Grace is also a neurosurgeon. Wow."Denver felt even more annoyed by his mother's explanation, so he just left."If you hadn't refused the conference, right? Then you'll blame me. You're such a good child," his mot

Yes, nasasaktan ka hanggang ngayon, pero alam mo rin ba ‘yong sakit na kinimkim niya? You're being selfish here, Denver?”“Selfish? Pinabayaan ko kayo sa gusto niyo. Pagiging makasarili pa ba na hindi ko kayo hinabol at hinayaan ko kayo sa gusto ninyo? Telle then, am I the one being selfish here?”Hindi na lang sumagot si Grace. Napairap siya at tinalikuran niya ang lalaki, ngunit bago pa siya makalayo ay tumunog ang telepono niya. When she saw the caller ID, she smirked. She answer the call and put it in speaker.“What?” nang lumingon siya ay nakaharap na si Denver sa elevator.“You're coming home?” the man spoke.“Yeah,” Grace simply amswered.“Good, I and Sandra will prepare when you get back.
