"Papa!!!! Gian screamed. Dean, I don't know how he got us that fast, but he did. He took the bullet for Mara. They both fell on the ground with Mara under him, but the blood on his back was gushing out.Gian squirmed in my hold, and that snapped me out of my shock. I set him down, and we both rushed to Dean and Mara."Papa! Gian burst into tears and wrapped his tiny arms around his father's body, who sat up and gathered his son in his arm."Are you alright?" I pulled Mara in my arms, who was trembling, shocked."I'm okay. Dean, we need to bring him to the hospital. Two officers quickly went to Dean, and Grandpa rushed to Gian and pulled him away from Dean. Gian struggled from his holding, screaming."I'll be fine, Gian," Dean assured his son weakly when the officer carried him to a car."Why Loren suddenly appeared?" I asked the officer beside us."I'm so sorry, sir. WeRelated chapters

MARA"I have to go." I smiled and nodded. He planted a kiss on my forehead before he went out of our room. I stood up from our bed and went inside the bathroom and did my morning routine, and took a bath. Afterward, I dressed for the office and went downstairs to the dining area."Morning, Dad." I greeted and kissed his cheek. He was reading a newspaper and drinking his coffee."Good morning. Eat your breakfast, and we'll leave after. I heard what happened to Dean.""Yes, he saved me. Dad, can you drop the case against him? His son needs him. Where is that little ball of sunshine this early morning?""He's with Uncle Phil walking in the garden. That kid is so sweet. When are you going to give me my grandchildren? I want one or two. Seeing that kid, I'm craving to hold a baby in my arms.""Don't worry, soon." He gasped, and I blushed to remember that he saw Jayson and me in the guest room.

Dean was out of the hospital after a month of staying, and the authorities sent her back to prison later. Gian cried so hard when the police took his father. My father pulled out the case, but Dean must still be in jail for three years.He tried to explain to his son that he made a big mistake and he needed to serve in prison to pay for his wrongdoing, but Gian clutched on him tightly as if his dear life depended only on his father.My tears rolled down my face watching the father and son both sobbing, holding each other. It is so hurtful watching them."Papa, don't leave me. You only I have. Where I'm going to go? I don't want to sleep outside in the dark again, and I'm scared someone will hit me again. It's so painful, Papa." Gian cried, hugging his father."Gian, you can stay with us until your Papa come back. There no one will hurt you. I promise you that." I said, wiping my tears."Yes, Gian, you can stay wit

MARASara looked at Jayson with wide eyes. Her face was pale, and she looked like a fish who kept opening and closing her mouth, but no sound came out."What happened?" Jayson rushed to my side and wiped the sweat on my forehead with his hand. His angry face softened instantly, replaced with worries."I feel dizzy, and I throw up." I weakly replied, leaning on his shoulder when he wrapped his arms around me."Si...sir." "I said pack your thing and leave the company if you don't want me to call a guard to drag you out," Jayson screamed. "Stop screaming. It hurts my head," I whispered as Sara ran out of the comfort room crying."Sorry, I wanted to slap her mouth, but I don't want to lay a hand on a woman ever again." He said, regret in his eyes. I know he remembered the day when he slapped me."Can you walk?" I nodded my head, and he helped me to stand up. He carried my bag and

JAYSON"What happened? Why are you both home early?" Grandpa asked as we stepped inside the front door. He is in the living room watching television. "Mara is sick, but she is fine now. We went to see the Doctor. She just needs to rest. Nana!!!"Yes, Young Master?" Nana answered, walking towards us."Nana, prepare a barbeque later. We have something to celebrate. Asked everyone to join later.""Is it someone's birthday that I forget?" Grandpa asked."No, Grandpa. I'll tell you later. For now, Mara and I will rest. Just wake us up around five." Jayson said and led me into our room, but I could feel Nana and Grandpa's questioning eyes following us."Why didn't you tell Grandpa?" I asked him as soon as he closed the door."I want to tell them when everyone is present. I want Dad to be there too. He might get mad if I tell Grandpa first.""You have a point.

MARAI didn't go to work the whole week after we learned I was pregnant. Not only Jayson against me working but as well Grandpa and my father. The hard life of being the only girl in the family. They treated me like a fragile thing that I would break if they won't take so much care of me.Jayson is on another level. Even when I went to the toilet, he accompanied me because he was afraid I might slip whenever he was at home. Wherever I go, there should be someone with me. It's either Grandpa, my father, Jayson, Nana, and Cassy. They didn't allow me to be alone except when I was sleeping. Now I am in the living room watching television, waiting for my husband to return from the office, and Nana is sitting on the couch beside me doing her knitting. I'm bored to death. I cannot leave the house unless Jayson or Dad is with me. I sigh, pouting with my eyes glancing at the door, waiting for Jayson. I wanted to ask him to eat outside to see the new scenery b

MARAI was inside one of the guest rooms with two women doing my makeup and nails. I am going to the company party in two hours, and I'm pretty nervous. It will be the first time I'm going to a party since I came here to Seoul, and to add to it, Jayson cannot go to the party together with me because he has something to do before the party starts and will only meet me there. I wanted to tell him I was embarrassed to go alone there, but thankfully my father said to me that Jayson had invited him and I would go with him later. "Mrs. Fernandez, can you stand up so we can help you wear your dress." One of the women asked. I quickly stood up and removed my robe, and they helped me in my dress, as well as on my shoes."You look beautiful, Mrs. Fernandez." They complimented. "Thank you," I replied, smiling, and faced the full body mirror, and my eyes widened to see the woman staring back at me. My hair was in a bun on top of my he

MARA"Mara!!! I looked up when someone called me, and I smiled when I saw Claire with Felix behind her. "Mr. Perez, Hello, sir.""Hello, Mrs. Revira." Dad greeted back. I stood up and hugged Claire, happy I had someone who didn't hate me. It seems everyone here hated me."Mr. Perez." Felix greeted. Dad quickly stood up and shook his hand, smiling, and patted his back."I'll be back, I'll just give a small speech, and we can enjoy the night," Jayson said, standing after he kissed my forehead. Claire occupied the seats he left and grinned at me."So you two are coming out?" She whispered."I think. Jayson said he would introduce me as his wife tonight.""That's great, so that those bitches will shut up." I chuckled and softly nudged her, but she only smiled in return. I turned my eyes to the small platform in the middle of the ballroom. I watched Jayson as he welcomed the guest as well as his

JAYSON"Si... sir, what have I done?" Camille stuttered. "I give you another chance to work for me, but this is all you'll repay me. I heard your conversation with this piece of shit. You want to get rid of my wife, huh? You both want her out of your sight? So I'll grant your wishes from now on, both of you. I ensure you'll blocklist in Korea, where you can see my wife.""Sir, you can't do that?" Camille said, now tears streaming down her face."Yes, I can and I will," I screamed, and all of my secretaries, all of you are fired from tonight. If you don't want my wife, I don't like all of you too. I don't need all of you.""Sir, please, I'm so sorry. I don't know."

EPILOGUE GIAN I smiled as everyone enjoyed Gia's seventh birthday with my pregnant, beautiful wife beside me. Mom, Dad, and Grandpa entertain our guests while Sander, Christian, and Gia entertain the children. I cannot leave Lyza because she is already nine months pregnant and needs help every time she moves from one place to another. We will have our baby boy soon, and Gia was so excited to meet her brother. I chuckled as I watched Dustin chasing their three-year-old daughter around. Dina is a hyper child. You won't see her staying in one place. She's always running or jumping. Christine and Dustin got married when Christian turned two years old and a year after Christine got pregnant. The twins Alice and Ana are also present with their husbands and children. Ana has two children, a boy and a girl. Annalise is five years old, and her brother Adan is two years old.

GIAN"Sissy, Yan! Yan! I groaned and covered my ears with a pillow. It's only six in the morning, but Sander is already knocking at the door. "Mommy and Daddy are still sleeping. Everyone is still sleeping. Let's go to the park ourselves and Lily. Come on, uncle. " I heard our six-year-old daughter whine. "I told you to stop calling me uncle. I'm only five years older than you. " Sander said, and I could hear the annoyance in his voice. "But you're my mommy brother, so you are my uncle.""I feel old every time you call me uncle. Just call me by my name. It's fine with me. ""But mommy and daddy will get mad at me. They will think I don't respect you if I only call you by your name.""Just tell your parents I asked you to call me by name. So please stop calling me uncle, okay? ""In one condition." I chuckled. Sander was always fooled by Gia when it come to not calling him Uncle. "What condition? ""Let's go to the park, please. ""It's still early, and your parents will get mad at

GIANAfter a week of my return, Dad called a press conference. We hid my return from the public, and this would be my first appearance. We held the press con at the Fernandez Corporation main building, and all media outlets sent their representatives. The function hall is packed with reporters anticipating what Mr. Jason Fernandez wants to announce. There is some speculation that he might announce that I'm already dead after almost a year of searching, and some speculate that it is about the company. I watched in the waiting room with Lyza and our little Princess as Dad and Grandpa talked to the media and answered their question about the company, waiting for my turn. When the press started to ask questions about me, Dad signaled to Inspector Ronald, who was standing on the sideline guarding the people around him together with his men.Inspector Ronald nodded, and he came inside the waiting room. "It's time, Mr. Ramirez. " "Okay, Love, wait for Inspector Ronald to escort you to joi

LYZAThe following day, we returned home. Christine and her mother returned to their home together with Dustin. He doesn't want to separate from Christine and his daughter anymore. He was scared that something might happen to them if he wasn't beside them. Aunty Amy supported his decision, and after Christine and her mother coop up with what happened to them, they will talk about their marriage. I'm happy for them, and I hope Christine and her mother recover from the trauma that Maximi caused them. I smiled as I watched Gian's sleep. We are currently in our room because we didn't sleep properly last night. Gian was sleeping while I was afraid to close my eyes. I'm worried that once I open my eyes, Gian won't be here anymore, and everything will turn out just a dream. I caressed his face and pressed my lips on his cheek. He lost so much weight and was pale. He looks like a fragile thing right now, which I need to handle with care—gone my hero and my pillar, Gian. The eyes that were

GIAN I listened as my mother narrated what happened in the past and how she and my father suffered all these years in Maximo's hands. I hated her so much without knowing the suffering she went through. I believe what people told me, why my mother left me, and Dean didn't correct the lies the people said and let me feel them. I hate to know that the man who I love and saw as my father is the reason why I was separated from my family. I wanted to hate Dean, but I couldn't because he loved me as his son, and he provided me the things I needed, and he loved me unconditionally. He didn't lack as a father. "I'm so sorry, Gian." My mother said, snapping me out of my thoughts. Her eyes were brimming with tears as she looked at me. "Your father and I didn't mean to leave you in Mr. Fernandez's care, but we thought you would have a better life than being with us. When Dean died in prison, that's when we found where you are, and we found out that Mr. Fernandez took you in. During that time

GIANAround four in the afternoon, we left for the Cabin. My mother and Christine ride in Dustin's car while I go with Daddy Jason and Grandpa Carlos. I know my mother wants to talk to me, but it can wait later after I meet my wife and my daughter. I'm dying to meet them. I feel saddened that I wasn't there beside Lyza during her pregnancy and when she gave birth. I missed a lot of time being with her and my daughter. When the car entered the gate of the Cabin, my heart pounded in excitement. I could already see Sander, Amelia, Tommy, and another kid I don't know chasing each other. When they noticed the car approaching, they stopped running and waited for us. When the car stopped beside them, Sander went to the driver's side, waiting for Dad to step out of the vehicle. He looked a lot bigger the last time I saw him."Dada! Grandpa," Sander grinned and hugged Dad's legs. "Hello, little Prince. Where's your Sissy?" "She is inside the cabin with Moma, taking care of Gia and the baby

DUSTINMaximo was screaming as he struggled from the tight grip of Inspector Ronald's men, who were dragging him and his men out of the mansion. "Inspector Ronald, thank you for helping us. " Sir Jason said. Gian stuck beside Sir Carlos as if afraid to be separated from them again. "Asking us for help is the right decision, and it helps us a lot as well. Finally, we can put Maximo behind bars after all these years. Ma'am, can you come with us, as well as you, Doctor Alfred, to the police station? You are our witness, so we can imprison Maximo until he rots inside. " "Okay, and I will tell you all his illegal dealings and where he keeps his goods. "Christine's mother said while Doctor Alfred nodded. "Doctor Alfred, thank you so much for saving me. I know what you went through, and if you need my help, don't hesitate to tell me. I owe you my life. " Gian held Doctor Alfred's hand, face full of gratitude. "It's my work, and I did it willingly, but Maximo just in prison me without giv

GIANEarly in the morning, we left Tinay Island. I glanced at Christine, who was stuck beside me like glue as if I were her salvation, and my mother, sitting on my other side, looked so tense. Maximo is sitting in front of us, a smile not leaving his lips. Doctor Alfred is seated behind us with two of Maximo's men. We are in a boat heading to the City. I knew everything that was happening around me. I was in a coma, but I heard all their voices. Christine and my mother is my constant visitor during that time, and they are always crying, begging me to wake up. "Now, I know what happened back then. Dean is not my real father but my kidnapper. My mom told me everything while I was in a coma, but I couldn't bring myself to hate Papa Dean, who raised and loved me as if I were his real son. My parents didn't hate Dean as well because if he hadn't kidnapped me, I would live like Christine, my sister, or Maximo already killed me. I don't have an amnesia. Christine was right. It's better t

DUSTINWe went to the cabin Friday afternoon. Everyone is excited except Sir Carlos, Sir Jason, and I. We set up four tents outside the cabin for the adults while the children, Maam Mara, and Lyza will stay in the Cabin tonight. Everyone is laughing, helping each other prepare our food for dinner. While we are busy here, Inspector Ronald is also busy in the mansion preparing his men for Maximo's arrival tomorrow morning. They will wear a civilian uniform and post as guards, but some will stay hidden. We found out that Maximo had a record of selling illegal drugs before, but he billed out. The authorities have been on his tail these past years, but they couldn't find evidence that could put him behind bars. A few years ago, the authorities intercepted a massive shipment of illegal drugs. Someone tipped them about the shipment, and the informant told the authorities that it belonged to Maximo, but someone took the blame, and Maximo got out of it unscathed. And the authorities are ea
