GIANThe smile on my lips never fades as I prepare our breakfast. I'm so happy. The only thing I wish for come true. Lyza is now my wife, and after four years, we will build our own family with our baby. I already imagine what our baby looks like. If a girl, I want her to look like her mother, and if a boy, I want him to look like me. I'm sure the house will be full of joy if that happens. A complete family, mother, father, and the children. Not the same with my family. I want a family like My parents in law. They have a happy family, and they love each other unconditionally. I place the sandwich I made and the orange juice on the tray and bring it inside our room. I smiled to see her digging inside the cabinet. I'm sure she is looking for her clothes to change. "Gian, I think you forgot to bring my clothes. The clothes here are all yours. I thought Nana packed our clothes. Why I don't have clothes." She stepped away from the cabinet with only the towel wrapped around her body. She
LYZAI think I fall asleep for thirty minutes when I feel movement beside me. I opened my eyes, and I saw Gian pouting beside me. "I waited for you in my room, but I wondered why you didn't come, so I checked your room and found you were already sleeping. Did you forget you already have a husband? You should sleep beside me. "Sorry, I thought we were going to sleep in my room. I fell asleep waiting for you. " "I almost fell asleep waiting for you in my room as well. " He chuckled and kissed my forehead. "Okay, starting today, we'll sleep in your room.""Okay, I murmured, now drifting back to sleep. "Don't sleep yet. " He whispered and slipped his hand inside my pajama top, then hovered on top of me, touching my body, and his lips covered mine. My drowsiness was suddenly gone, and all the nerves in my body were now wide awake. If it felt amazing for the first time, this time is beyond amazing because I can still feel the sting, but it was bearable, and pleasure overpowered it. We
"You haven't brought your car these days. Someone sending you to school?" Avery asked when I settled beside her. "Yes. ""Who is it, your boyfriend? ""Yes! " I smiled when she glared at me, annoyed for getting a single word for a reply. "So, did your father allow you to shift course the next semester? " I asked, changing the subject. I don't want to lie to her, but my father warned me not to tell anyone I am married now. She grinned. "Yes, he agreed. I'm going to the dean's office later and ask permission. I'm hoping they will allow me.""That's great. We can work together after we graduate. I hope the school will allow you. " We grinned and hugged each other. Avery is my first female friend, and I hope our friendship will last longer. We turned quiet when our professor stepped inside the classroom and focused our attention on him. During lunchtime, Marco is missing, and I wondered where he goes. "Where's Marco? " I asked Dustin, who was sitting opposite me. "I don't know. I di
LYZAGian pulled in front of the restaurant, and a Valet boy was on his side instantly. Gian got out of the car and handed him his keys before he went to my side and opened the door, offering his hand to me. I looped my arms on his forearms, and we walked to the restaurant's entrance. I saw how the eyes of the staff and door widened when they saw Gian, but she was quick to compose herself. "Good evening, Mr. Ramirez and Miss... "Lyza. " I smiled. "Miss Lyza, Mr. Ramirez, Let me guide you to your reserved dining area. " "Thank you." I smiled, and we followed behind her. The restaurant has an open area to dine in, but there's a separate area with a row of private rooms, and the woman led us toward the placeShe opened one of the rooms and motioned as in. There's a table for two inside, and one side of the wall is glass from floor to ceiling. You can see the people outside, but the people outside cannot see what is inside. It also has a sink where we can wash our hands. "This is you
LYZAI burst into laughter as soon as Gian pulled me from the restaurant. "Why are you laughing, love? It isn't funny at all. We are going to have an earful when we reach home. ""I'm sorry. I only remember the face of the guy when I punched him. He looked like he saw a ghost. " I giggled. "That's very careless of you, Lyza. You should stay in the car. You know I can handle them." I pouted. I know when Gian calls me by my name, he is annoyed or angry. "But there are five of them, and you're alone. I can protect myself. I know some self-defense, too." I reasoned out. "I don't want you to jump in a fight ever again. Just do it when I cannot stand anymore to protect you.""You want me to watch them beat you until you can't stand anymore before I help you? So unreasonable. "Do you think I can stay still while watching you beaten in front of me?""They can't beat me."" You can't always be sure you are better than your opponent. Stop being conceited. ""We are fighting? ""Yes, I glare
LYZAToday is the start of my semestral break, and I am leaving for New York with Grandpa. Tomorrow is the launch of the first product of G & L software, and Grandpa will give a speech because he is the one who created this product. Gian didn't know about my arrival early in the morning tomorrow. He knows I am going there the day after the product launch because he said he is free after that, but I want to surprise him. We arrive around midnight, and Jack will pick us up at the Airport. I already have a plan for how to surprise Gian.When we arrived in New York, Grandpa would drop me at the hotel while he would go to Gian apartment. When Gian left for the product launch, I would sneak into his apartment. Grandpa will sleep at the hotel I was staying in before returning home to give us privacy. I closed my eyes when our flight took off. I wanted to have a few hours of sleep before we reached there. I opened my eyes when I felt someone shaking my shoulder. "We will arrive soon." Grand
LYZAThe woman is like a deer caught in the headlight for a few seconds, but she quickly regains her composure. She put her hands down, showing me her nakedness, with a proud look in her eyes."She's beautiful, tall, and has a perfect body, but this is my territory, and Gian is mine only, and I don't want to share him with anyone. "I am his girlfriend, and who you are to Gian?" I burst into laughter this time. This woman is dumb. She doesn't use her brain at the moment. Why she didn't think of the reason why I was inside Gian's apartment?"She blushed and then bit her lips but quickly hid what she felt. "Who are you? Why are you inside my boyfriend's apartment?""Why don't you guess? Now, I'm sure that she was dumb. "I'm the whore he hired for tonight. So, your boyfriend is mine tonight. Now leave.""What?" Whore?" She gasped and then looked me up and down."Yes, do you have a problem with that?" Now, you want to leave with dignity, or do you want me to throw you out of the door naked
LYZAGood morning, Grandpa. Good morning, Jack. " I greeted them when I stepped inside the car. "Good morning, Miss Lyza. ""Good morning, Princess. How's Gian last night? Is he drunk? ""Very drunk. Gian looked like a dead person last night. Even if I throw fighting dogs inside his room, he will keep sleeping. " I scoffed. Grandpa and Jack chuckled. "Did Francis send him home? ""No, a woman. ""A woman? Who is this woman? "I don't know, I think one of his employees. Oh, Gian wants to come with us. Let's pick him up first. " I change the topic. I can't lie to Grandpa if he keeps asking about this woman, but I want Gian to know first what the woman did last night. '"Then tell him we're on our way there. ""No need. I want to go to his office. I'm scared he fired Francis. He was angry when he found out Francis wasn't who sent him home last night." I'm telling the truth, but there's another reason why I want to go to Guan's office. I wanted to see the woman last night. I want to kno
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. Annalise is Gia's best friend, together with Christian and Alex. Alex is Alice's five-year-old son, a timid boy,
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
