While having their coffee, Echo received a message from his mother," Honey, where are you? I am already done?""Please excuse me, I need to call my Mom," he said to Maria."Yes, please you may," she said.'I am just here at the Starbucks Mom. I'll just finish my cup and I'll fetch you okay," he called and told his mother."No, I want to have a cup of mine too. Can you order me Hot Macadamia and blueberry cheesecake, please? I'll be coming over," she said."Alright Mom, we will wait for you here," he said.'We? Who's with you?" Mrs. del Fuego wondered."You'll meet her later Mom," he said.Mrs. del Fuego smiled. She. This means he was having coffee with a woman and this will be his first time to introduce to his mother a woman."Wow, I am so excited to meet her Honey. Is she your girlfriend already?" she excitedly asked her son.Echo laughed but he was too happy with his mother's reaction, "Let's check if she will pass with your standards Mom," he said."Oh, my dear son.

Echo and Mrs. del Fuego sent Teacher Maria to her apartment."Thank you, Tita. Thank you Echo," she said while waving goodbye to them. She was so grateful to meet these amazing and kind-hearted people.She opened and entered her apartment already.Meanwhile.. while traveling back home, Mrs. del Fuego kept on smiling. She was so happy meeting Teacher Maria. She wanted her to be her son's girlfriend and eventually his wife. She liked this young lady so much. It seemed that she can change his son to being a playboy. She wanted her son to marry already and gave her lots of beautiful grandchildren.Having only one child is a blessing yet she longed for more children than which she hadn't experienced due to her sensitive pregnancy. Her husband Mr. del Fuego decided not to have any babies after she almost got 50/50 and almost lost her life when she gave birth to their son Jericho. Her husband loved her so much and she knew about it.She was too excited to share the news with her husband. Ech
Early morning, Teacher Maria get all her stuff and luggage as today will be their first day of the Teachers' Conference in Cebu. She prepared everything and she was so excited. When she was about to open the doorknob of her apartment, someone knocks on her door. She was a bit frightened as to who will be knocking at this early hour. She kept her mouth shut and tried to avoid making noise. Her mobile phone vibrates and when she opened it, a message pops in. It came from Echo," Hey, I was the one knocking on your door." Teacher Maria got relieved but then she suddenly thinks that why will be here at this early hour? It was only 5 AM. "Why are you here this early?" she asked. Even though she knew him, she was a bit hesitant to open her door this early. Echo then was already smiling. He knocked on the door and said, " I'm here to fetch you and send you to the airport. It's your flight remember? Open the door as you might be late at the airport," he said patiently. Teacher Maria then
A group of Coasters came in and all the delegates of their Academy hitch already including Mr. del Fuego. Echo was seated beside Teacher Maria as usual. He will never leave his woman during this conference. He doesn't mind anybody around them. He just talks with the top Management and school stockholders then focuses his attention on her after a while. As they were traveling from the Airport to their designated Hotel, Teacher AMria's colleagues and co-teachers were wondering why Mr. del Fuego happened to be Teacher Maria's companion from Manila Airport to Cebu Airport. They were aware that Mr. del Fuego was one of their speakers for their conference. They were all booked in the Cebu Parklane International Hotel. All the delegates from 20 Academies joined together for this once-a-year Annual Teachers' Conference and they were all fortunate and privileged to be part of this big event.

It's the third and final day of the Teachers' Conference. They have free time this morning since almost everyone enjoyed themselves and got drunk on their fun night yesterday. They can have a quick tour today, go on swimming and buy some souvenirs at the nearby Souvenir Stores for their loved ones and branch staff.Teacher Maria woke up from the ringtone of her mobile phone. Teacher Carla is calling her, "Hey wake up Teacher Maria, it's nice to swim this early. Come on let's enjoy the pool.""Alright, I will be there later. Did you have your breakfast already?" she asked."Yup, I had ng early breakfast already. I will be waiting for you at the pool ok," Teacher Carla said.Ding...Someone's knocking on her door.Teacher Maria wrapped her bathrobe before opening her door.

Going back to Manila... It's already midnight. They will probably land at 1 Am then. They have the same flight as usual. Perfectly arranged by Mr. del Fuego's secretary...Echo and Teacher Maria rested while onboard. He held Teacher Maria's hand and she didn't refute it. They just waited for the airline to land at the Airport. Teachers can't explain what's their relationship. Echo is acting like her real boyfriend before the conference and it looks like they are mutually in a relationship now even though Teacher Maria hadn't heard his offer yet. She is confused with herself too.Upon arrival at the Manila Airport, the Teacher received a message from her mother on her mobile phone, "Hi, how're your teachers Your teachers you arrived already?"Teacher Maria replied," It's great. Thanks. Just arrived at the airport," she replied but felt guilty. She seemed to forget her parents when they were at the conference. Echo occupied most of her time when they were there."Okay, take care," her m
Jericho had a great time after accompanying Teacher Maria to her three-day Teachers' Conference in Cebu. It was so many changes in his plan for her. He had known her more during the conference and it seemed that she wanted to be his woman already for real. Upon arrival at Del Fuego's Realty and Brokerage Firm, his major stockholders were also there. There will be a Stockholders' Special Meeting. His colleagues acknowledge his presence. "Wow, our well-known womanizer is already here. How's your new target for this month?" Carlo asked him with his wide smile. He used to be with Carlo most of the time at the bar when they were looking for girls for fun. He knew his plan for Teacher Maria as he had shared his story before with him. Jericho just smiled at him and he will tell him about changes in his plan for Teacher Maria. Meanwhile, one of their clients who were just in the lobby is Teacher Maria's friend who wanted to buy a piece of farmland in the vicinity of Batangas. He was being

Just leave it to me and I will handle it very well.For the past one of preparation, Ms. Lorna had been very busy and hands-on with every detail needed for the success of Maria and Jericho's inti
Maria was so amazed after she awakened. Knowing that she was pregnant with twins was truly a miracle. She had lost her parents and now having twins in her belly. God really gave her reason to be alive.She wasn't aware that she was sleeping for almost one week. Being in coma with her twins gave her some thoughts that she really needs to be strong not just for herself but for the three of them.Jericho saw how Maria was having some thoughts ans he was not aware of what is was."What are you thinking of just now, my love?" Jericho asked him. He combed MAria's hair strands with his fingers."I am just grateful to wake up. I am so thannnkful that God gave us twins to complete our family," Maria sobs on Jericho's chest.Jericho hugged her and offered his wide chest. "God wanted us to be complete and treasure the relationship that we have right now. He won't allow us to part our ways," Jericho caressed his wife's back and pampered her. He kissed MAria's forehead and gave her an assurance t
Carla was so afraid after she was brought by the investigation team of Carlo to a dark warehouse in Lemery, Batangas. She wasn't aware of what would be done to her.She almost threw up after someone removed a piece of cloth from her eyes. There were lots of big rats roaming around and the place was so dirty. She couldn't even cope with the rotten smell in her nostrils."What the fuck! What kind of place is this?" she almost shouted."Well, this will be your home from now on," Carlo said."No! I couldn't stay here. Let me out of here please," Carla cried."After what you did with Jericho and his family? Do you think Jericho will spare you?" Carlo yelled at her.Carla was so frightened."Look! I only want a few bucks. Just give it to me and I will leave them at peace," she said. "I don't want to be here please," she cried."Few bucks! You could have asked Jericho about it. Why let Maria and their babies suffer then?" Carlo asked"I don't know about Maria. I've just learned about her whe
The elder Del Fuego, immediately went through his son and invited him to have a coffee break at the cafe near the Hospital's lobby."Come on son, let's have some coffee. Maria will be taken care of by you Mom," he put his arm on his son's shoulder and led him to the cafe."Thank you, Dad," Jericho was almost wiping off the tears from his eyes as he came along with the elder Del Fuego.The two men were led to the Cafe in the Hospital's lobby.Little did they know that Carla was there also and looking for an opportunity to go to Maria's room. She wasn't that bad and she felt a bit guilty of what she did. She just wanted to get some money to compensate for her needs. She was a bit curious about what was happening to Maria. She wasn't aware that Maria was having two babies in her belly.When Carla saw Jericho and his father were coming over, she hid at the big plant at the corner of the Cafe. She wanted to hear what the two would be talking about."Have some coffee, son. Let's talk," the
Maria was terribly bleeding upon reaching the hospital. She was immediately attended too by the medical team of Metro Lemery Hospital in Batangas. "I can't forgive myself if something happened to my Maria and my child," Jericho bursts out crying. He felt so guilty about what happened awhile ago.He wanted to punch Carla. She totally ruined his relationship with Maria and to his parents.Mrs. Del Fuego was so disappointed and mad at Jericho. She can't forgive her own son either if something happened to Maria. She was almost her daughter and she wasn't fully recovered yet."How dare you get involved with that trash woman? As much as I wanted to understand you, I just can't," Mrs. Del Fuego was crying so loud as she hitting Jericho in his head."Stop it! Stop it! It won't help. Let's get pray for Maria's safety and our unborn grandchild to recover from this?" Mr. Del Fuego hugged his wife and detouched away from their son.He understood his son. He had been in the same situation before
Early morning, Carla went to Del Fuego's Ancestral house. She had learned that Jericho brought his new woman in his parents' home. She was so furious as she thought that she should be that woman who would live in Del Fuego's home."I need to live there by hook or by crook," Carla caressed her tummy aand told herself. "I won't allow anybody else to take my place as Jericho's wife. I declare it already that he was the father of my child," she gritted her teeth while driving so fast.Meanwhile...Del Fuegos were having their family breakfast together with Maria. Jericho took extra care of Maria as she was advised by the doctor to be very careful due to her delicate pregnancy. She was staying with her bed and Jericho bought a wheelchair for her to roam around the house.Jericho doesn't want Maria to be stressed and disoriented. She hadn't been fully recovered yet from her parents sudden death and from being hospitalized.Knock.. knock.."Are you expecting some deliveries today Honey," the
Carla, on the other hand, was so furious when she learned that Jericho was already dating and worst brought a woman already in his ancestral home."It was supposed to be me. Who was that woman? She is stealing my man!" Carla threw her mobile phone after searching for Jericho's photos on social media.She had browsed several photos of Jericho with Maria."She was just a nerd lady, my gosh. Where did Jericho catch this ugly woman?" she continued drinking her shot of Cuervo from the hotel she checked in."I won't allow her to ruin my plans. My baby needs Jericho and his wealth," Carla gritted her teeth while drinking too hard.Ring... Ring...Carla's other mobile phone rang. When the name appeared on her mobile phone, she smiled and answered it."Yeah, hello Bradley," Carla said."I've been trying to reach you since a day ago, but I haven't reached you. Where the hell are you?" the man calling her yelled."Will you stop nagging me," Carla yelled at him as well."I am looking for a wealt
The elders, Mr. and Mrs. Del Fuego arranged an interior design for Jericho's room when he was still s bachelor. They asked the interior designer to arrange Jericho's room into a couple's room which is quite suitable to Jericho's favorite colors black and red. They had also asked the interior designer to design the adjunct room as a nursery for their upcoming grandchild. "I am so excited about our grandchild," Mrs. del Fuego giggles while talking to her husband." How I wished to have twin grandchildren," she added."I am excited too. Wishing for twins as well my love," Mr del Fuego responds. The interior designer was so delighted with the sweetness of Mr. and Mrs. del Fuego. Sometimes it's quite rare to see elderly people giggling with each other like a teenager. "I just hope that there will be no other woman to ruin Maria and Echo's affair. They will be having a child already," Mrs. del Fuego told her husband. She is a bit worried about the fact the last time there wa
