Simon got completely terrified when Carmina finally looked up and saw her face. He feared that the woman suddenly changed her mind and would rather take the blame than tell them the truth because she was full of regrets. Since he didn't know the whole story, he thought that Carmina's mistake was not that bad because Sandra had already forgiven her and Sebastian and Sandra had reconciled and were actually getting married soon.

Simon held Carmina's hands and squeezed them tightly.

“Tell them the truth,” he coaxed.

The three silently watched the two and Sandra and Bammie looked at each other knowingly while Sebastian just stared at Simon and Carmina's hands.

No one said anything and gave Carmina the luxury to get herself together until she was ready to speak. Although the answer for Sandra's question was just a simple yes or no, they didn't want to force the answer from her because it might cause her to be pressured which might end up with her lying to them instead.

However, Simon tho

    Sandra stared deeply at Carmina. She stayed like that and didn't say anything at all after a long time, which made not only Carmina nervous but Simon as well.The guy was determined to clear things up for Carmina that's why he immediately explained the woman's situation. “Sissy. I saw her in front of your building. Jay was the one who helped her out from deserted road and brought her to the Crown Entertainment's building”He was afraid that they wouldn't believe her and so he needed to back her up in order to convince the three that she was telling the truth. Sandra's eyes narrowed at Carmina, “What did he ask you to do this time?” she asked slowly. Carmina instantly lowered her head. The words ‘this time’ gave too much impact to her as if she was hit in the gut by Sandra. It sounded innocent and casual but she knew how heavy those words were. It was a reminder that once upon a time, she was blinded by her greed and made an agreement with Thomas Mendez that ended their friendship.

    Sebastian quickly whipped his head to Sandra with wide eyes and mouth ajar. Although he had a feeling that Sandra would ask about it since they talked a bit about Carmina's feelings after she left, he didn't expect her to ask it straight to the point without any hesitations. He sighed. He then walked back to his seat beside Sandra and held her hands then kissed it. “Please take it slow,” he muttered as his gaze landed on her fiancée.Sandra heaved a sigh and just like that all her jealousy subsided. She shook her head and her lips spasmed when she caught Bammie was giving her a teasing look in front of her. Meanwhile, the question rather made Carmina frozen on her seat and rendered her speechless. Her heart was pumping hard and loud that she thought it was going to explode. She was determined to tell the truth with them, however, she was not ready for that particular truth to be revealed.Swallowing hard, she immediately looked away upon seeing the sight in front of her.

    Sebastian immediately ran to Carmina and hugged her protectively before his mother's palm landed again on the woman's cheek. The moment he and Bammie took the final steps of the staircase, the scene of his mother slapping Carmina welcomed them. The sound of it made the both of them stunned and when Mrs. Lee was about to repeat it, Sebastian quickly ran towards the scene. “Sebastian, get away from her! Why are you protecting her!” Mrs. Lee angrily pulled her son away from Carmina. “Do you really love her? How about Sandra?! You two are getting married and you have the audacity to do that in your fiancée's house! Let her go!” “Mom! What are you saying? I'm just protecting her because you're hurting her!” Sebastian retorted, refusing to let go of Carmina and received his mother's tiny punches with his back.“Ha! If Sandra sees you like that, do not expect that the wedding will be happening anymore!” Mrs. Lee spat out as she glared at the back of her son. Sebastian got frozen upon hea

    Sebastian stood frozen as he stared at Sandra. Meanwhile, Carmina quickly grabbed her hands and kneeled in front of her. “Sandra, don't do that,” she pleaded. Everyone was surprised at her action but Sandra was fast enough to pull her again to stand up. “Please stop kneeling. I'm not a god,” she reprimanded quite annoyed. Carmina lowered her head and fidgeted the hem of her shirt, “Don't cancel your wedding..” she said with a shaking voice. She felt utterly guilty and she cannot forgive herself if the two ended up not marrying each other because of her. No one should be blamed there but her. As it was her fault that her phone got stolen, Jay Kim had the chance to use her account to upload those pictures that made Sebastian's mother upset. If she didn't get jealous and just tolerated the pain of seeing their sweetness instead of leaving in the first place, nothing awful will ever happen. “Sebastian's mother is right. We should not be in haste and have to fix everything first befor

    “Your room is next to your parents,” Sandra stated the moment Sebastian closed the door. Sebastian was surprised and abruptly halted his steps. He looked at Sandra's back in puzzlement but the woman just continued walking to her dressing room without looking back at him. “Since our wedding is postponed, you can't sleep here with me just yet,” she added before closing the door. Sebastian quickly ran and blocked the door with his arm to stop it from closing. However, Sandra closed it so quickly that the moment it landed on his arm, it made him scream in pain because of the strong impact that had hit him.“Ouch!” he cried. Sandra rolled her eyes, seemingly uncaring and then clicked her tongue upon seeing him winced. She didn't make a move to try to comfort him and just stayed on her spot as she only watched him whimpering in pain. “I'm going to change. You can't come with me,” she stated, unbothered then closed the door again, completely. Sebastian got foot rooted on the spot as he

    Sebastian woke up alone in the bed and thought for a second that what happened was just a dream. A very wonderful dream to be exact. His brows instantly connected in one line as he quickly got up only to realize that he was actually on Sandra's huge bed and wearing anything under the bed sheet. He sighed in relief and eventually smiled. He then looked around the spacious room but couldn't see his clothes anywhere. He shook his head then grinned as he realized that Sandra already cleaned them up. As he was about to leave the bed, the door suddenly swung open and revealed his beautiful fiancée. “You're finally awake,” Sandra commented upon entering the room with a tray full of food in her hands. The smile on Sebastian's lips stretched widely the moment laid his eyes on her. Silently, he watched Sandra bring the tray on the bed and set it up in front of him. “Breakfast in bed,” she announced with a very sweet smile before giving him a peck on the lips. “Good morning by the way,” she

    “Sebastian, we need to talk!” Mrs. Lee exclaimed rather aggressively as she impatiently marched forward inside the room. However, her loud and heavy footsteps abruptly halted upon looking at the bed and caught their explicit position. Her son was lying on the bed, in his birthday suit, while her daughter in law's head was above her son's torso and seemingly singing as she was holding a microphone in her hand. The low groans of Sebastian were instantly replaced by crickets as the atmosphere that used to be very hot inside the room had instantly turned freezing cold. The three of them stared at each other, frozen and speechless. No one dared to move nor to even breathe as they were all holding their breaths. Three pairs of eyes were all turned wide as saucers while their jaws were almost dropped on the floor and on the bed. The first person to get back to her senses was Sebastian's mother. She blinked several times as her eyes were staring at the two.“Oh,” she said after realizing

He couldn't believe her! “He even told me he loves me!” she continued cheerfully, not minding the fact that her husband's already flaming in anger with her story. Who wouldn't anyway? This wife's admirers didn't decrease even after their marriage and have four kids. She's already in her forties, yet men out there of any age continued fantasizing over her!

Meanwhile, Sandra chuckled as she watched the host looking at her, suddenly confused.“I found my love because of you,” she continued.Everyone, from the audience to the staff squealed at her words. Even the host herself couldn't hide her giddiness despite the confusion still registered on her face.

Their cameras even zoomed in on the piece of paper she was holding, then almost instantly, disbelief and bewilderment were then painted as their expression. “Sebastian Lee?” one queried, puzzled of who it was. Others gasped loudly upon hearing his name and those who were standing near the guy turned their heads on him and gave him an incredulous look. “He's Phoenix right?! His real name is Sebastian Lee!” another shouted. Sebastian felt nervous at the sudden attention he unexpectedly was receiving. His determination to go up on stage had instantly deteriorated when everyone was talking about him with full anticipation.“He's here!” another pointed the direction where Sebastian was.Fortunately, before anyone from the reporters and journalists could move, Sandra immediately caught their attention back on her once again. “I just like to clarify things," she said.

His heartbeat skipped its beat as his knees went jelly, making him suddenly kneeled down on the floor weakly. He heard the loud beeping from the other line which meant that the call ended by the other party. However, his hand vibrated right after which caught his attention back and snapped him out from being astonished. Reluctantly, he checked the screen and saw Bammie's name flashed on it. He quickly answered it in case it was Sandra but only to be disappointed when it was her best friend instead. “Come here faster at the Crown building,” she said, sounding in haste. Sebastian was about to ask why, but the call quickly ended, leaving him puzzled and annoyed. He stared at his phone with brows connected together and thought whether to go there or not.

Their fans celebrated like there was no tomorrow while some showed their dismay as they did like Phoenix more for their princess. Flashnews about them kept on coming here and there and nonstop articles were posted on the internet because the media were the first to celebrate the great news.

They were now in Sebastian's apartment, particularly in his room. Since Sandra was the hottest topic, they both decided to not go home to her mansion because they were certain that there's a lot of reporters waiting for her there for an exclusive interview. “Aren't you tired?” she queried as she wrapped her arms around her husband's waist.

    “Are you married?” Thomas straightforwardly asked in a low baritone voice that gave everyone goosebumps except for Sandra. The old man didn't bother to say any greetings, not even wait for Sandra to ask him why he was suddenly there and just went straight to the point and asked her about the news. Meanwhile, Sandra folded her arms across her chest as she equalled her father's murderous stares. She looked calm and seemed unbothered and not scared with the presence of the intimidating old man, most probably because she was as intimidating as him as well. “Yes,” she answered without any hesitation. Then the corner of her lips slowly lifted upward as her eyes sparkled brightly, “But not with Jay Kim,” she immediately corrected before her father could ask if Jay's paper was not fake.Simon, Carmina and Levi gasped loudly upon hearing Sandra's answer. They all then turned to Sebastian suspiciously and saw the guy bowing his head looking guilty while fidgeting with his fingers. Sandra hea

They all thought that it was indeed a suicide to go against the old man, since the day didn't even pass and they were already facing another problem. “That bad?” Sandra queried as she frowned at her assistant.She then glanced at Sebastian and mindlessly walked to his direction upon seeing the guy looking pale and not with himself. As she sat beside him, she grabbed his hand and entwined it with hers without saying anything as her focus went back to Jamaica.From the side, Jamaica nodded in response which made everyone get curious about the news she brought in. “What's the bad news?” asked Bammie, a little impatient.

    Bammie and Levi's pictures immediately spread out in all social media sites, since it happened in public and everyone who was casually walking in the hallway that time grabbed their phones and captured the moment when the two decided to display their affection there. Minutes later, rumors about their relationship followed, as the reporters who were just in the auditorium nearby immediately got the report about the scene outside and took the opportunity for a juicy scoop. Which immediately stole the spotlight from what happened in the press conference. Meanwhile, Sandra quickly led them to her office upstairs when people started filing around them. And she also quickly called the security to usher the visitors from the auditorium outside because the press conference was already done to avoid them lurking around the building and coming to her office. “So.. care to explain?” she folded her hands while raising her eyebrows on Bammie.

    Levi looked behind his shoulder as he noticed that Sandra was missing. His thick brows then furrowed upon seeing the woman was left behind there, immobile and stayed still on her spot while looking somewhere else. Following her line of vision, Levi's jaw instantly clenched when he caught a stranger hiding behind the huge plant decoration, in a nearby distance on the right corner of the hallway, holding a camera that was directed towards them and obviously taking pictures.His gaze then went back to Sandra and immediately, his thick eyebrows pulled together as he wondered why the camera was on them when the woman they were after was on the other side. Levi was about to just shrug it off when he thought that the stranger might've just mistook one of the two girls with him as Sandra. However, it would be impossible because the woman was slimmer than the other two. The creases on his forehead deepened as his eyes wandered to his companion, searching for the possible target of that stran
