Meanwhile... This is a very busy day for Kristina since this Apparels and Fashions Company and Hard Core Men's Undergarments launch. She still handles this big event even though Luther informed Mr. Abaya of her resignation already.Apparels and Fashions Company has been Kristina's life ever since she graduated from her Business course. It is the same company as well to which she was molded as a young and promising employee from rank-and-file to a successful Branch Manager. It's really quite hard for her that Mr. Luther Gracer will have that drastic and impulsive decision of pulling her from this company."Are the wardrobes of the models okay?" she asked Roxan while holding her checklist for this event. She doesn't want to fail with this grand launch. It's not the first launching of the new brand she handled but this will be her first-ever Grand Launch off a big Brand, not to mention it was Mr. Gracer's brand."Yes, Madam. All set," Roxan replied while also having a list of her checkl
Early morning at Hard Core Group of Companies Building...It was Kristina's first day at HardCore as Luther's OIC for his General Manager and COO position.As much as Kristina's resistance, she can't do anything about it since Luther manipulated everything.It was a tough decision for her but then she needs to fulfill her responsibility for him.She knew also that on the other hand, it was indeed a deed of faith from Luther.It wasn't bad after all. To take care of his company while he was still recuperating.Luther needs to recover well from his heart failure since it wasn't easy to recuperate.She will act as his OIC for the time being and needed to be his eye for the company's security as well.Luther needs a full rest and should not be stressed and she was the only one he trusted to handle the responsibility for a while.Luther knew that Kristina can do her job well, and he is assured that she is pure and won't take advantage of this authority and power compared with his Vice Pres
As Kristina is preparing to send Chad to school, a message pops in..."Good morning my love. How are you?" message from Nathaniel."I'm good. How about you? I hope you are safe." she replied"I've missed you already," he saidKristina replied, "I've missed you too. It's great that you have a signal now," she said. She is quite happy hearing Nathaniel's voice but she can't be that excited anymore. "Yes, upon having a signal I immediately message you. I want to call you but I know that at this time, you are still preparing for your morning routines," he said."Actually, yes. I will leave already after Chad had his breakfast," Kristina says while putting all her things in her car. She will later ask Chad to hitch the car already."Ahh okay. How about Luther? Is he well already?" he now shifts his topic to Luther.As much as Kristina wanted to inform everything to Nathaniel, she thought it was not the proper time for now. She would like to tell him about her resignation and suddenly took
Early morning as Kristina woke up, her eyes were swollen due to profuse sobbing overnight. She was so hurt by what she learned last night. How can Paulo do that to her? She trusted him so much. She sobs once more. Her heart is so heavy already making her felt difficulty in breathing.Her fear of losing him because of their long-distance love affair seems to become already and she is not yet ready.Suddenly she felt dizzy and needs to run to her bathroom. She is having stomach discomfort. She had an ulcer since she gave birth to Chad, but it seemed that it's recurring right now. With all her stress and whole night crying, she felt that she wants to throw up. She really suffers from acid reflux making her vomit profusely.She is so exhausted and felt sick after throwing up. She held her painful stomach and go back to her bed. She laid down and message his brother Rodel to send Jude to school today as she can't move right now due to a stomach ache."Do you want me to send you to the hosp
After her 1 week of sick leave, Kristina decided to come to Hard Core Office and work already. It's time for her to do her duty as a new OIC of Luther. She wanted to pay back all the good deeds being done to him by Luther. He is so kind and considerate. At Mr. Gracer's private office, Kristina is now seating at his swivel chair as his OIC. There were lots of proposals and documents to review before she relays them to Luther. She reviews all the reports well and puts some suggestions and resolutions with those before she deliberates them with Luther. She doesn't sign any documents yet without a prior discussion with Luther first. Kristina invited Roxan for a lunch. She missed her secretary so much. She will offer her to transfer at Hard core and be her exclusive secretary. She is much comforted working with her though she doesn't have any difficulties with Shaira, Luther's executive secretary then. In fact, Shaira is very helpful with her and very efficient in her work. She doesn't ha
Kristina arrived early morning at Hard Core Group of Companies as she wanted to do her work early.She has a lot of books to review in the finance department.As Kristina was reviewing all the documents in front of her, she found out that during Luther's leave, there was a discrepancy with the corporation's financial reports.Several departments have over-budgeted some projects that didn't match the figures in the reports. She reviews other documents and she found some more discrepancies that caught her attention.It's not just a small sum of money, they were millions involved here.She immediately asked for an outsourced Financial Auditor for a thorough audit and investigation of this matter.She cannot trust the corporate's Auditor and Financial Officers to investigate to avoid connivance and other fishy things inside.She knew what to do already.She was trusted by Luther in this position because somehow Luther knew how meticulous and keen she is when it comes to work, that she can
There were lots of things that happened to her these past days that she almost forgot that she had a family as well.She hadn't visited her parents in their home already.Her father misses her son Chad. Her brother Kristof is the only one who visits her and most of the time took care of Chad when she had important errands to make.What kind of daughter she is? She asked herself.Kristina was quite afraid of how is she going to share the news with her family, especially her mother.She knew that they will be disappointed with her again.During her first pregnancy, though it wasn't easy for her to say the news before, she suffered a lot emotionally from her mother.But then her mother accepted what had happened since she was only 18 years old then and quite aggressive yet didn't know anything at all.But now, she's an adult already, and with a son yet another pregnancy with another man being her news.She is having a headache.She knew that she will be disgraced by her mother now.It is
Luther came early tonight to Kristina's apartment to fetch the mother and son pair.Chad was so happy to see Luther."Tito Luther, good evening," he runs and climbed to him. Luther carried the little fellow in his arms."I miss you," he kissed his cheeks."I miss you more Tito Luther," Chad said to him while resting his head on Luther's shoulder.Kristina saw this scene when she is going downstairs. She was so happy seeing her son being comfortable with Luther as well. Her heart is so much pounding with joy.Luther's kindness is contagious. Her mobile phone rings..."Sister, what time are you coming in? Dad is longing for Chad already. You have to bring some extra clothes they are requesting you two to stay here in our home this weekend," her brother Kristof told him."Okay, we will be coming with Luther," she said so that her brother can inform their parents that she has company."Alright, I'll inform Mom and Dad," Kristof replied."Thank you, brother," she said."Welcome," he answe
It was a great journey for the Montevista Family.After Kristina and Nathaniel had been through a lot, here they were with their five beautiful children.They've grown so well and are kind just like their parents. Kristina and Nathaniel were so proud of all of them.Kristina smiles while she reminisces all the trials they've been through with Nathaniel.She was setting the buffet table now for their Grand Family Reunion celebration.Carina was helping her.She had been Kristina's friend and almost a sister since she married Nathaniel. Mrs. Montevista treated Carina as her very own daughter as well."Thanks, Carina," she said to her."Welcome Kristina. If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to approach me," Carina replied."No. I think we set the buffet table well. You may take your rest first," Kristina said to her."By the way, have you seen Chelsey and Chad?" Kristina asked Carina."I haven't. Perhaps they were in Mama Paz's room," Carina said. Mrs. Montevista was a bit w
It was a long journey of love for Kristina and Nathaniel.How a childhood love blossomed into an endless love, their destiny was defined.Their story made a mark on their children.As they always share their love journey with them.Their children never fail to appreciate them as their parents.They wouldn't be in this world if it weren't because of their parents.The treasures and gems of Kristina and Nathaniel's boundless love for each other were their children.Their love and care nurtured their offspring to grow up into better people of their generation.A new book of love is now starting to bloom as Chad and Chelsey start to build their own story.From the day they met, they got along when they were just kids.Will their relationship help their kids build a romantic relationship or will it break their ties as they move into a new phase of adulthood?Chad was an outspoken teenager.He wanted to make things as easy as possible.He is so frank and very protective towards his younger
Both Chad and Chelsey were raised together in Montevista's Villa.They grew up playmates and almost treated each other as siblings.As they grew up, Chelsey had been too dependent on Chad, as if he was her elder brother.She had also been so close to his younger sister, Princess.Chad used to take care of both Chelsey and Princess. As they became teenagers, Chad found that he was not just taking care of Chelsey as a sister.She took care of and protected her like his precious gem.He doesn't want to make her angry, and not to be harmed by others."Hey! Please be careful when you eat," he said to Chelsey while starting to wipe off a piece of food left on the left corner of Chelsey's lips.Chelsey was stupefied and felt awkward after Chad slowly touched the corner of her lips.She felt electrocuted. Chad was so close to her, but lately, she felt something else.She doesn't want to give any meaning to how he treats her, but she can't help it.She thought that she was starting to long fo
After the long journey of Kristina and Nathaniel's love for each other, their seal was getting stronger than ever.Now they were celebrating their 25th Wedding Anniversary. Chad and Princess arranged their renewal of vows accordingly and solemnly.Chad looked so handsome while Princess looked so beautiful, she had grown a complete replica of a female version of her father, Nathaniel.There were times when they were teasing each other, her Dad used to call her Nathalia and she was so flattered.Her Dad is so handsome and seems to be getting more handsome every year, he doesn't look like he's aging.He still looked young just like their mother Kristina.Their other siblings Nathan and the twins had grown up like boys next door.They were so thankful that they came from the beautiful genes of Nathaniel and Kristina.They were heartthrobs in their school.The couple was so happy with their children as they've grown mature, and God-fearing, and they hadn't experienced any headaches from an
Kristina and Nathaniel were having their heart talks while sipping their brewed coffee in Montevista's Butterfly Garden. They reminisce about their past. How they've met when they were just kids? How they've parted ways? How they've reunited and fallen in love with each other?The love and affection can be seen in their eyes while they were having their conversation over their cups of coffee now."You've been through a lot Tin. We've been through a lot and I am so grateful to the Lord for having you and our kids in my life," Nathaniel emotionally said to Kristina while holding her hands.Kristina put her head on Nathaniel's shoulder. She was so grateful that after being abandoned by her first boyfriend and having his Chad, Nathaniel accepted her for who is she. Her past hadn't been an issue to him. Even when Luther came into their lives, Nathaniel's love for her never fade.Only fate brought them back together. It was indeed their souls met and connected."I love you so much Nathaniel
Everybody was busy preparing for Montevista's family dinner.Nathaniel helped Kristina and Carina prepare and set up their grazing table.They have a native theme, and all the Filipino dishes were well served.The kids were excited as they also prepared a presentation for their parents and Granny.It was just a family dinner, yet it was their bonding time.For Kristina and Nathaniel, every meal would be their family celebration and they would continue their tradition for the next generation to come."Hey kids, are you prepared already? Come on showcase your talents before we have our dinner," Nathaniel said to the kids.Princess was so excited as she was the choreographer with her siblings and Chelsey.Chelseyhas had almost her best friend since she was young.They had developed a great friendship and kinship culture already.Both of them were being protected by her elder brother, Chad.They lined up in front of their parents and Mrs. Montevista, as they started to perform a native d

Kristina and Nathaniel were so amazed at Luther's gift to their family.Surely the kids will be jumping off for happiness.Montevista kids were so spoiled by their Tito Luther. Luther gave the family of Kristina and Nathanile's free family tour to London.It almost widened Kristina's eyes to see the bunch of tickets Luther handed to her.Their relationship had grown as the years passed by. Luther became Nathaniel's brother even with no blood connection.Kristina was their bond, a strong bond.Kristina will always be in Luther's heart as his important woman, more than just a sister and a friend.She would never be replaced in Luther's heart, even if Kristel was his wife already.Kristina will always have a portion inside Luther's heart. Kristel knew about it and would never question her husband ever.She is contented with how Luther showed his love for her and their twins.Their kids were also grown as siblings as well. They didn't see each other differently. Both of their families had
Days passed by, and the Montevista family lived a happy and festive life."I wish that our family will be like this forever, my big brother," Princess said to her elder brother Chad."Of course, we will.
