LOGIN-Eli Madrigal-Her every step towards where I was standing, waiting for her, made me feel delighted. The white wedding gown her parents chose was perfectly fit for her. It was like a dream came true, marrying her again, but this time it was filled with compassion, love, and assurance. It wasn't like before; forced and loveless. My eyes blinked, letting go of the tears I was holding back to ruin my handsome face. Yes! I was here at the end of the red carpet showered with petals of Roses, having no mask to hide my face. When she arrived, I hugged her parents, thanking them for trusting me, and forgiving the sins I have made in the past. "We entrust our daughter to you, Eli. We hope that you will shower her with love and understanding." "May this moment be the start of our new life, forgetting the unpleasant past we had. And as Valerie's father, I would like to welcome you to my family, My son-in-law.""I can't thank you more for the chance you have given me to prove that I am no lon
I turned on the television with my finger that struggles to push the ON button of the remote. The first face I saw inside the television was Signor Eldifonso's. I swallowed, looking where Eli was. "There he is," I whispered when I saw him standing at the corner of the stage looking at Signor Eldifonso. "Lord, be good to us. I hope this will be the last battle of Eli against Signor Eldifonso. Make him win this time, God," I prayed. I felt a touch on my shaking knee, catching my attention. I looked at my Auntie who was smiling at me, telling me something through her simple action. "Auntie, is he able to do this smoothly?""I don't know how he will act his plan, Val. But for sure, he thinks wisely about this. Let us just hope for the better."I nodded, agreeing with her. The living room was surrounded with a cold atmosphere. The aircon blew cold air, freezing my numb hands. Although Auntie was telling me to be calm, I still couldn't afford to do such because I am so worried for Eli.
I can't take what happened out of my mind. I was in deep silence when knocked from the door caught my attention. I walked towards the door, opening it for someone who was behind. My jaw dropped when I saw who was standing outside of the door. It was Eli, and he was carrying Foval in his arms, smiling the same as when he won the first prize in their school activity before. "W-What are you doing here?" I asked, looking at his face. "Mommy, Daddy is here! He said we won't be apart again! Yay! I'm the happiest man alive, Mommy!"My eyes were asking Eli. How on Earth did he visit here? Is he out of his mind? My auntie and his master were business rivals. What will Signor Eldifonso say if he knew that his subject was here? For certain, Eli would be in a difficult situation."E-Eli...""Daddy, look! Mommy is surprised! This is what I've told you! If she finds out that you came back, she will definitely be surprised!""I know, Son. And if you allow, I want to talk to your mother... just me
I have a new goal today. And this is to meet with one of Auntie's target investors. He is a famous businessman in the Philippines. Since his business is guns and bullets, I'm sure we'll get along right away. I know it's dangerous because Signor Eldifonso's secret and illegal business is bigger, but still, I have the power to defeat him and I'm the one who allocates Mister Tianco's investment. Mister Tianco and I talked about meeting at a restaurant in Texas. I didn't want him to wait long so I made sure to go to the restaurant early before he even arrived. Only the driver was with me. Auntie told me that I had to take my bodyguards with me, but I told her that I would be safe so she should not worry. "Ma'am, I think someone has been following us," said the driver while occasionally looking in the mirror outside the car. "What? Maybe we're going to the same destination. Let's not overthink, just drive faster.""Alright, Ma'am."The driver was quiet for a few minutes, but I noticed
-Valerie Wills-Opening my eyes, I turned to the other side of the bed. I saw a paper there with a letter on it. I tried to go up abruptly but I stopped and held my head. My head hurts so much. Because of that I tried to remember what happened before this morning. I just blushed out of annoyance when I remembered what happened yesterday. The last thing I remember is, I was in front of Eli and I suddenly passed out. After that I don't remember the next detail. Despite my dizziness and headache I still tried to go up. I reached for the scale and read it. "Val,I'm sorry if I brought you to this place. This is the only place where I know you are safe, we are safe here because I know that people like Signor Eldifonso do not go to this place. I'm sorry if you woke up without me by your side. I also thought that I might just arouse your anger towards me when you see me, realising you share the same room with me. Besides, I can't stay away from Signor Eldifonso for long. I want to let you
I'm nervous about what I'm doing. It's possible that someone will see me with Val now, possibly causing us both to perish. Because of this I sped up driving, while being careful. I went through the not so exposed ways. "Val?"Every now and then I looked back at her. She is still unconscious and must have fallen asleep because of the alcohol she drank. I remembered an inn that was only cheap. I went straight there and immediately parked the car in the hidden part of the parking lot. I carried her into the inn. When I was at the front desk, the staff raised her eyebrows at me. "For twelve hours, Ma'am.""Sir, your companion is unconscious. We can't accept you here. We don't know what happened to the woman you're carrying right now, and we don't know what kind of person you are. Maybe if something bad will happen to her, we'll be put under investigation. We don't want our business to suffer in case.""What are you talking about, Ma'am?! She's my wife, okay?!""That's not the case wit
