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
LYZAWe shop in Times Square with Gian and Jack carrying the things Grandpa and I bought. I purposely handed out more bags for Gian to take as his punishment. Jack and Grandpa kept chuckling, following us every time Gian complained to me that his arms were already hurt, but every time I glared at him, he turned quiet and smiled at me. I purposely bought more things to give him a hard time. "Love, enough buying things. Let's buy the other things you want some other time. You'll stay here for fifteen days, so we have lots of time to shop for the things you want to bring home." "I want to buy it now. " I glared at him. "But Grandpa needs to rest. He has an early flight tomorrow." I stop in my tracks and then look at Grandpa. I forgot that he needs to go back early in the morning tomorrow. I instantly feel guilty. "I'm so sorry, Grandpa, I forgot about your flight. You should remind me." I wrapped my arms around his forearms, pouting. "It's okay. I'm enjoying watching Gian suffer. "
LYZAWhen Gian left for work, I returned to sleep and woke up during lunchtime. After eating lunch, I cleaned the whole apartment and washed our clothes. Around five, I cooked our dinner and waited for Gian to come home. It was nice living like this with Gian. Serving him brought joy to my heart. Now I know how it feels to serve the person you love. Even though it's tiring, it's still brought happiness to your heart. No wonder Mom always takes care of Dad because it makes her heart happy seeing the person she loves happy and being cared for. You love to do it without without expecting anything in return. I think loving someone. You only want him happy without worries. I smiled as I set the table. He said we were going out later, so I only cooked pasta with alfredo sauce and Garlic bread just in case he was hungry. I went to the living room after and watched some shows on the television to kill time. It was around past six when the lock of the door sounded. I smiled and rushed to th
LYZAIt was already one in the afternoon when I opened my eyes. I groaned and closed my eyes again. I wanted to sleep more, but I was starving. I lazily stood up and went inside the bathroom and took a bath, then went to the kitchen to find something to eat, but everything was instant food. I sighed and returned to our room, and changed my clothes. I took my wallet and phone and went out of the apartment. I'll eat at the restaurant below. The restaurant was packed, and there were no available seats when I stepped inside. I sighed and just ordered for takeout and then returned to the apartment. I sat on the dining table and video-called Gian. "Hello, love. " He smiled, looking at me. "Hello, have you eaten your lunch? "Yes, I just finished my lunch break. I'm guessing you just woke up. ""Yes, and I'm eating lunch. I went to the restaurant below and bought my food. There's nothing to cook inside your fridge. It's all instant food. "Because I don't cook. If I knew you were coming
GIANI cannot take my eyes off my wife tonight. She is so gorgeous with the bodycon I bought her. When I saw the dress at the mall, I knew it would be good for her, and I was right about it. The dress dress showcases her beautiful figure. I even notice Allen and Jack glance at her occasionally. But I only ignored it as long as they didn't give her a prevented look. Her long legs got longer with the short dress on, her cleavage was inviting, and her smooth skin looked paler with a black dress on. I was tempted to drag her home, but I wanted her to experience nightlife. Lyza has never been in a place like this, and I don't want her to miss her teenage life because we got married early. I want her to experience this kind of life, wild and free, like another teenager her age. "I will order our drink. Wait for me here. " She nodded with her eyes looking around. I'm sure she was shocked to see all the women around her almost naked. "Jack, you can order anything you and Allen want, but ma
LYZAWe are now back in Gian's place. I was instantly sober up because of what happened. Those men, I hope they, won't come after us again. I'm worried they will come again for revenge. "What are you thinking? " Gian voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "I'm worried about those men. That Anderson hier, I'm afraid he will take revenge with us. We are not at home, and we don't have much connection here compared to back home. ""Don't worry, I can handle those guys. Even though this place is not our home country, I know some big names here, and I know Mr. Anderson. I met him before.""You're tense. Do you want to drink more? I have a red wine stock here if you wish. ""You're a bad influence. You were teaching me how to drink, bringing me to a club, and getting into a fight. If Dad knows about this, you're dead. ""I just want you to experience being a teenager. You haven't enjoyed your teenage life. '"Whose fault is it?""So it was my fault that you stalked me around like a theft? "
GIANAfter three hours, Lyza finally calmed down. Even I couldn't believe she could do it. I'm sure she already has those things in her mind, and the alcohol only boosts her courage to do what he wants to do with me. But sadly, she doesn't remember, but I don't mind. I enjoy it anyway. "Go bath, Love. Let's watch a movie. We haven't watched movies together before and then let's go to the amusement park. Let's have our proper date today. " I smiled when she pouted. "Hey! Don't walk naked in front of me, or we won't be able to leave this room. " I warned when she walked around our room naked, collecting our clothes on the floor. She rolled her eyes, put our clothes in the laundry basket, and entered the bathroom. But I pushed the door open before she could lock it and, scooped her up and sat her on the sink. She chuckled, then wrapped her arms around my neck. "So naughty," I whispered and covered her lips with mine. I spread her legs and stood between them, pulling her on the edge of
LYZAAfter the movie, Gian and I went to the parking lot to our next destination—the amusement park. We are holding each other hands as I hummed a tone. Gian was smiling beside me as we walked to the car. "Gian! " I pushed him aside to avoid the man holding a metal who suddenly rushed to us from nowhere. Gian didn't notice the man because his eyes were on the car a few feet away from us while I roamed my eyes as we walked. Gian stumbled backward, and I quickly caught the man's hand and gave him the uppercut. Gian, who regained his balance, kicked the man and disarmed him, but the man quickly pushed Gian and ran away. "Don't chase." He might have companions hiding somewhere and attack you when you less expected it." I said when Gian tried to chase the man holding his arm."Who do you think that man?""I don't know. Thank you, Love. If you didn't see him, I already have a bruise on my body. I'm being careless.""Be careful always. I think you earned another enemy. After the Garcia,
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
