No one has ever thought that the mysterious boss of the famous Dela Cruz groups would work and serve as a nurse in a hospital; this was because most people believed that she's dead and long gone.

But now, she was busy as a detective who had to disguise as a private nurse to gather enough evidence to her parents death and was later turn into a full housewife whose opinion doesn't matter nor did it ever count.

Lisa had privately pleaded with the doctor in charge of Alex to assign her as his personal nurse without making mention of her. At first, it wasn't a hard task to get along with him as he was super friendly but as soon as his mother noticed their new developed relationship, she attacked Lisa with getting married to her son.

But even though Lisa had agreed to the marriage, she never thought it would turn out like this. She had thought that she could change Alex's mind, that she could make him see how much she cared for him. But it was all in vain. She had been deluding herself, thinking that she could make him love her, when he was already in love with someone else.

But now, things had took a drastic change and she'll no longer be the vulnerable lady who anyone can trample on like she worth nothing! It's time to let go of whatever feelings she might be having for Alex and take the bull by the horn instead.

Those moment when Alex was newly a victim of the accident, he was in a very critical condition that needed more attention both physically, emotionally and mentally but Rosy did never appear nor pay him a visit.

Instead, she would only send him numerous messages at nights. Perhaps, this might be the reason Mrs. Williams despises Rosy more and asked Lisa to marry her son before Rosy gets the chance to persuade Alex since he's head over heels with Rosy.

Times without numbers, Alex's mother had called Rosy on the phone and cussed at her, calling her all sorts of name and laid accusations on her as well.

“You are no different from those dirty sluts on the streets who get hooked up with men just to mooch them off their hard earn fortune and fame...” Mrs. Williams accused. “The earlier you stay away from my son, the better for you, woman!”

Despite everything, Rosy wasn't moved by Mrs. Williams threats, she strongly believe Alex can't do without her —that thought was enough to fuel her confidence more.

Until the day she received yet another call from Mrs. Williams. “You claimed to love Alex but here he is lying on his sickbed with another woman taking care of him...” She told her.

Rosy scoffs at Mrs. Williams' words. “There is nothing wrong in having another wiman assisting me in taking care of my Alex. No matter how much she try, she can't take my Alex from me...” She remarked, overwhelmed with self confidence.

Mrs. Williams snickered at Rosy's confidence. “Too bad for you, Rosy, they've both gotten married a few days ago —and now you are at loss! There is noth...” Rosy did not give Mrs. Williams the chance to complete her statement before cutting the cut abruptly.

Rosy can tolerate any thing but not Alex being snatched away from her grip —she can't stand anything like it and now he's married to some random lady, eh? This got Rosy mad and she made sure she did everything she can to separate them. Even after many months, she did achieve her aim at end!

.

Alex got home the next morning after spending his usual daily nights with his ex girlfriend, Rosy. Ever since he reconnected back with Rosy, it has become a daily routine for him to spend every nights with her and he could only be seen at home the next morning because he needs to get ready for another day.

He would come home, freshen up and dress for work and after work, he would go to Rosy instead. For all those time, Lisa had been living alone and busily married to herself instead of her husband, Alex.

Alex noticed Lisa was missing but he shrugged the thoughts off, after all, she's not his burden for him to worry about neither is she a kid. "Maybe she's busy with the house chores as usual, why worry?" He concluded within himself and headed up to his room to prepare for the day.

Alex had taken his bath and dried his body, including his hair. He had finished dressing and was ready to go to work, applying his perfume, his eyes caught glimpse of the neatly arranged papers on his dressing table.

He paused for a second and dropped his perfume. "What's this..?" He muttered under his breath as he picked the papers up, his eyes widening in realization. "The divorce papers? Did she sign them already?"

He couldn't help but feed his curiosity as he quickly flipped through the papers he had prepared for long. Indeed, Lisa had finally sign the papers after many months of waiting, he's finally free from the stupid marriage he managed to find himself in. At that moment, Alex felt as though a burden had been lifted up his shoulder and he couldn't his happiness.

"Finally..." He breathed out in relief, grinning from ear to ear. "I never knew that greedy weak nurse would give up her motive so easily and leave just when I least expected. Seems like Rosy is the perfect match for her, she couldn't even stand Rosy's attack!"

Alex couldn't stop himself from laughing out loud. For a moment, he forgot everything else and try to savour in the feeling of his freedom. "Who would gave thought she would leave so soon, eh?" He asked himself, releasing yet another satisfying laughter.

"Maybe..." He thought out loud. "She had given up so soon when she realized she won't be getting a penny from my wealth even though we are married. Ow, such a poor lady! I feel for her already." Mockery was evident, even in his thoughts.

    Well, Alex happiness did not last long when his eyes caught glimpse of the neatly wrapped box that was lying few inches away from where he had picked the divorce papers from. It was strange to him, he has never seen anything like it on his dressing table since he's been using his room."Has it always been there but I failed to notice?" He asked himself as he picked up the box, unwrapping it hastily. As he opened the small box, he was shocked to see a limited edition watch in it —the type that cost a fortune."What...?" He blurted out with surprise written all over his face. "Did Lisa leave this here?...ah, no way! She would rather take this with her rather than leave such expensive gift here —she can't even afford it, can she?"Alex started to think of all the possible scenarios that could have led to the watch being there. Was it a mistake? Had Lisa left it there by accident? Or had someone else left it there, as a gift for him? But who would do that? He was trying to make sense of i

    "They will wish they never covet what wasn't theirs to start with. I'll make sure they pay for laying hands on me and everything they've done." Lisa vowed, still overwhelmed with anger. "-and Alex too, he'll as well pay for making me shed my precious tears."Lisa's vow wasn't of an empty one and Andy, just by looking into her eyes, he felt lost. The emotion in it wasn't that of the ones he's familiar with, it was totally different and he realized for sure, Lisa wouldn't back down until she's satisfied. Andy couldn't help but admit he love the new look in her eyes! "Fighting those three men isn't an easy journey to embark on, Lisa, they were never easy to start with." Andy started slowly. "We need a very good strategy to overthrow those cunning men when they least expected -they are not just greedy but a con artist as well.""Cunning or foxy, that doesn't matter anymore since it's the reason I'm here." Lisa's voice was assuring with traces of confidence in it. "We have to find a way t

    For the past few months, the Dela Cruz groups have not been doing well lately because the three brothers who had forcefully been managing the company knew nothing about business but instead of employing an expert as a CEO, they blindly lead the company, squandering the little profits they managed to make from it. The Dela Cruz groups was said to ranked top in market sales in States and even in the surrounding company but it has dropped below the least and now, the company and the other branches under it has been struggling financially, went bankrupt and at the edge of collapsing.The three brothers did not bother about the state of the groups cause all they were after was spending whatever money the groups manages to provide for them.

Lisa sounded as though she was speaking with a hardened criminal, her gaze saying nothing less.

    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?

    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,

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.

    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
