Immediately Alex left, Mrs. Williams picked up her phone that was lying on the center table and dialed Mr. Brown's digit. She placed the phone on her left ear, impatiently waiting for him to pick the call.

"Hello..." Came Mr. Brown's drawling tone from the other end of the call. "Mrs. Williams?"

"Ah, it's good thing you know I'm the one calling you at this time." Mrs. Williams' uttered in a tone that's far from friendly. "Did you not save my digit on your phone?"

Mr. Brown chuckled nervously. "No, Mrs. Williams, it's nothing as such." He explained, trying not to sound as nervous as his chuckle had sound. "I'm only surprised to see your call out of the blues, it doesn't seem so you."

"Ah, I see..." She said, nodding her head as though Mr. Brown was seeing her. "I just want to make a quick call that shouldn't take long, well that depends on you though. I trust you will give me the answers to every question I ask, no?"

"Sure, why not?" Mr. Brown replied back almost immediately. "We've kn

    The early months of Alex's marriage did not seem as optimistic as he had expected —he had thought getting married to Rosy would ease all his pains and show him what it truly means to love and be loved. It did happened but it was only for a short while; sooner than Alex had expected, he started experiencing extreme heartache. It was the opposite of what he had expected to happen.Even with Rosy's presence, the house feels as though it's empty and deserted and he couldn't ignore the eerie feeling of someone missing —the non-existing presence of Lisa had made the house not worth staying for Alex.Alex and Rosy's marriage had started with a great enthusiasm as he had once thought that Rosy's joy would filled the abyss in his heart, but over time, the painful truth dawned on him; the happiness of others was not enough to quench the monstrous thirst within him that keep growing as days roll by —it was a feeling he had ignored before their marriage.“What spell has this despicable woman cast

It has been barely three months or maybe four since his confrontation with his mother over his decision to share half of his fortune with Rosy.That particular decision had changed their relationship completely. It has been almost four months of silence between the only known Williams —four month since he had last seen her face or step foot into her mansion.The only rare chance he get to see her is in his place of work, at least once every week. “I'm here to see things myself and be sure the company hasn't be sold yet...” That was always her reply.

    Lisa stood by the window, her eyes fixed on the distant horizon as the sun gradually waking up from its slumber and emerging from the darkness. The warmth of its first rays brushed against her face, casting a radiant glow through the room.Her hands, gentle and loving, the gentle curve of her swollen belly, feeling the soft movements of the lives growing inside it —she's already past her eight months and will be due in a few weeks; maybe two or three.In the hushed stillness of the room, a mix of emotions coursed through Lisa's heart. Happiness, tinged with a hint of sadness, painted a delicate smile on her face. It was a smile of anticipation, of dreams woven between the heartbeats of her unborn babies.Anyone would misinterpret that her smile was because of the rising sun. Well, partially true since it made her think of her unborn babies —they are, to her, the rising sun that puts smiles on its viewers lips."I wish for them to be born into a beautiful morning like this..." She whis

    Xavier had called Neil and Fred over to Alex's house which was practically his own house too —since he own nothing and was always squandering everything he's ripping off from The Dela Cruz groups, it's now Andy's responsibility to foot every of his father's bill. Xavier wasn't even ashamed of his irresponsibility, instead he saw it as an opportunity to exploit his children, Andy and Stephanie, and sharing whatever he gets from them with his brothers, Neil and Fred. Andy wasn't tired of his father's act nor did he complain, not even for once. To him, it's way better than seeing him exploiting money from the Dela Cruz groups like he used to in the past. Temporarily, the three brothers has forgotten about the existence of the Dela Cruz and had focused on Andy and his sibling instead. Late in the afternoon that day, Neil and Fred had arrived with Ella tagging along with her father, Fred. Ella is literally a stay at home lady since she as well has no job to call her own and has been re

    Mrs. Williams left the hospital, her heart heavy with the weight of the conversation she had just endured with the doctor —she couldn't help but wondered how Dr. Slavin had rejected her without putting her request into consideration; it really hurts, she must confess. As she drove to The Williams Corporation, her mind raced with worry for her son, Alex. She knew she couldn't keep the news from him forever, and she dreaded the pain it would cause him. But she also knew that she had to be the one to tell him even though she feared the outcome of it.Arriving at The Williams Corporation, Mrs. Williams hurriedly made her way to the receptionist's desk as though she's trying to avoid a greater force. "Is Alex in his office?" She asked, trying to keep her voice steady. "Did he come to office today?"The receptionist, with a wide smile that was reaching her eyes shook her head slowly as she recognized who Mrs. Williams is —the former CEO of the cooperation before Alex took over it.

    That morning before Alex left for work, Rosy was a little down with mild fever —she supposed. Alex had come downstairs to have his usual breakfast before going to work but was surprised not to see Rosy in sight, nor the breakfast itself. He figured out something was wrong and it's only natural for him to be worried, after all, she's still his wife under law. He looked for her and was surprised to see her in the guest room, laying down with a faint smile on her face.At first, when he did not see her, he had thought she had left him, quitting the marriage abruptly —this was the same way Lisa left him as well without any words or traces. He wondered what Rosy might have found out to do such as well —maybe his growing feelings for Lisa? "Hey..." Alex called with a glint of worry in his voice as he strode towards her, his face was wearing a slight frown. "I've searched everywhere for you. What's wrong, uh? Are you feeling sick, maybe?""Uh, I think so, Alex." She replied in a faint voic

    "What did you just say?" Alex find himself stuttering, as he couldn't bring himself to believe what Rosy had said. Maybe he's the one hearing wrong or Rosy had decide to pull a prank on him.‘It must be a prank...’ Alex breathed in slowly and deeply, trying to cajole himself with false word. ‘Or perhaps, I'm the one who did not catch her words correctly.’ How could she be pregnant at this time of all time? How did it happen?Rosy raised her left brow as the smile suddenly left her face and her eyes too, unable to pinpoint Alex's reaction towards the news she has been dying to tell him, and as well was expecting a positive attitude from him —at least.Alex decide to pick his words carefully, so as not to hurt Rosy with it as well as himself. "Can you slowly repeat what you said?" He asked her, his voice calm but firm. "You know, what you said a few moment ago, please?"Alex's question had stirred a little hope inside Rosy. ‘Maybe he's too excited to digest the news at once.’ She though

    disgrace.Then who could it?He had wanted to suspect Seth but shut the thoughts out, he wouldn't have this and still watch his supposed wife's public humiliation without standing up for her.His fuzzy thought was interrupted by his phone — it was ringing. David wanted to avoid the call but seeing it's Laura, he reluctantly picked it up."Have seen the news already..." He muttered immediately not giving the latter the chance to say something. "You didn't do this, did you?""Are you crazy?" Laura countered from the other end. "Why would I jeopardize my reputation just to drag you down? We are in thus mess together, remember?"David wasn't convinced. "You must have nothing to lose to have this uploaded online." He said gruffly. "This might have been your place from the start.""Who cares whose plan it is?" Laura spouted, her voice in despair still. "What's more important is how to deal with what's on hand. And there's also a rumor that Sarah will sue you for defamation.""What...?" Davi

    Sarah took a deep breath, her gaze fixed on Seth. "I’m sorry for keeping the kids from you." She said, her voice low and steady. "I was scared, and I didn’t want you to know. So, I couldn't bring myself to letting you know."Seth’s expression was unreadable, as he processed her words. "Why?" He finally asked, his voice barely a whisper. "Why would you do that?""I..." Sarah trailed off, not knowing what else to say. "I'm sorry, Seth." She could only offer an apology."I’m sorry too." Seth said, his voice matching her somber tone. "I should have been more understanding, more patient with you." He reached for her hand, his fingers gently entwining with hers. "We both made mistakes. But I don’t want to keep making them."Sarah looked down at their joined hands, a small smile playing on her lips. "What do we do now?" She asked, her voice soft. "Where do we go from here? Home?"The word “home” hung between them, a suggestion and a question wrapped into one. Seth’s eyes met hers, his face e

    The word “home” hung heavily in the air, punctuated by the sharp intake of breath from Sarah. She looked at Seth, her expression a mix of anger and confusion. Her voice came out low and measured, laced with a hint of defiance."I don’t have a home with you anymore." She wrapped her arms protectively around the baby in her embrace. "And you are not leaving with my children."Seth’s eyes narrowed, a slight twitch in his jaw betraying the depth of his anger. "And who said your decision and opinion matters here?" He said with a scoff, despite his anger. "I make the decision, Sarah, and you abide to it.""No...! I'm going nowhere with you!" Sarah’s words rang out with a ferocity. It was a line drawn in the sand, a declaration of her independence.Seth’s laughter was quick, almost cutting her off, but it was a brittle sound that concealed a seething rage. "You’re coming with me, whether you like it or not." He stepped forward, towering over her.Lucian watched as Sarah took a step backward,

    The piercing sound of that familiar voice reverberated through the room, casting a chill over Sarah and sending a jolt of electricity through her veins. Slowly, she turned to face the source of that voice, her heart pounding against her ribs like a wild drumbeat.There he stood, Seth, his presence filling the room with an intensity. A mix of emotions played across his features — anger, sorrow, regret — but there was no mistaking the steel in his eyes as he locked his gaze onto Sarah.He stepped forward, the air practically crackling with tension between them. "Where have you been hiding?" He countered, stopping a few feet away from her. "Why didn't you let me find you?"Sarah had no words left in her to tell him, what was she to say? She could only stare at him, her eyes on him as if she was trying to communicate with her eyes instead. "I..."Seth was impatient, but he was able to hold him from grabbing her hand and pulling her out of the room. "Say something, Sarah..." Despite the mi

    A YEAR LATER*The plane descended gracefully through the clouds, its wings slicing through the air with an accuracy. As it neared the airport, the control tower flashed its lights in a welcoming signal.The plane glided over the runway, its wheels slowly touching down on the tarmac. The landing was smooth and effortless, as if the plane were being cradled by the runway itself. The passengers let out a collective sigh of relief as the plane came to a gentle stop. Through the windows, they could see the airport terminal, bustling with activity and life.A woman stepped down from the plane, a twin carrier strapped around her torso carrying two five months old babies. Despite her weariness, her eyes shone with happiness and anticipation as she scanned the lively airport. The babies were wide eyed and mesmerized by their new surroundings, taking in the unfamiliar sights and sounds.The babies chuckled softly, as if they were delighted by the scene. The woman smiled tenderly at them, her he

    Laura’s jaw dropped open, shock coursing through her veins. "You’re willing to sell your soul to the President for some money or prestige?" She exclaimed, her voice laced with disgust. "I don’t care what I ruined for you, David. You can’t keep doing this to people. You can’t keep hurting people just to get what you want."David’s eyes flashed with rage. “I do what I have to, Laura. And you better don't try to lecture me when we've been in these since its beginning." He muttered, scowling at."But I never meant things to go this far, you're taking in more than you can contain, David." She uttered repulsively. "Just stop here...!"David wasn't ready to listen. "Look here, Laura, I'm tired of you being around me, your presence sucks." He uttered, scowling at her. "Whatever shit that's between us, let's end it here.""You're sick, David, if you think you can just call our fling off whenever you want?" Laura snickered. "I'm sorry, but you can't. I started this — and I should end it too.""

    A deafening silence had stifled the air in the presidential office as Seth's eyes were fixed on the documents in front of him, his brow furrowed in concentration.He had been poring over these files for hours, trying to make sense of the mixed up web of information before him. The clock on the wall ticked softly, signaling another minute had passed by, but Seth barely registered the sound.On the other side of the office was Lila, going through the iPad with her in silence — and just like Seth, her attention was fixated on the screen.Suddenly, Lila's outburst cut through the silence of the office like a knife through butter. "What...?" She sprung to her feet, her chair sliding backward with the momentum.Seth's head snapped up, startled by the sudden noise. "What is it now, Lila?" He solicited, his brows creased roughly. "You can see I'm putting in all my concentration here."Lila bowed her head slightly in apology. "I'm sorry to interrupt you, Mr. President..." She uttered as she mo

    Seth sat behind his desk, his hands clenched into tight fists. He had summoned David to his study and now, the two men faced each other, the air thick with tension."So, Mr. Citizen..." Seth began, his voice tight with emotion. "It seems that there is a problem. A problem that you may know something about."David's face remained impassive, but a slight tremor betrayed his nervousness. "I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. President. How can I help you?"Seth's eyes narrowed as he threw few pictures before David, his sharp gaze on him. "Can you explain this?" He asked, leaving no room for friendliness.Davis's brows creased as he stared at pictures, unable to comprehend what Seth was driving at. It was a picture of footprints Lila had taken when she went to Sarah's old house.David slowly diverted his gaze from the pictures to Seth. "Why are you showing me these?" He muttered in questioning, his brows still creased. "What am I supposed to do with these footprints?"Seth's expres

    Lila's concern deepened, and she searched Tristan's face for signs of distress. "Tristan, sweetheart," she said, taking his small hands in hers, "is something wrong? Did you fall? Are you hurt?"Tristan looked up at her, his blue eyes piercingly earnest. "No, I'm not hurt, or maybe I am." He said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I just...I don't understand. Why did Aunt Sarah leave us?"Lila swallowed hard as she felt her caught in her throat, her heart aching for the boy's loss. "Oh, Tristan...""Did she hates us now?" He muttered, the look in his eyes gloomy. "I'm sure she left because she thought we don't want her."Lila's eyes softened as she pulled Tristan closer, enveloping him in a warm hug. She could feel his small body trembling against hers, and she stroked his hair gently, trying to offer some comfort."I know you miss Aunt Sarah, Trist. It's hard when people we love have to go away. But I promise you, it's not because she doesn't love you." Lila countered, her voice caj
