After elaborating everything to Sylvia Lee and clearing some misunderstandings. Carmina left the mansion and decided to go home without having a sincere talk with Sebastian.

Although the guy protected her from his mother the other night, she was still afraid to approach him and just wanted to delay everything because she knew it would be the end of their long term friendship.

Carmina wanted to be alone and rest her mind for a while while going home. However, it was impossible to happen since she wasn't able to refuse Simon's offer to send her home because she has no car anymore ,and Sandra insisted on just letting the guy drive her home for safety reasons.

She had no argument anymore about that. But she expected that the ride would feel awkward now since she knew everything would be different once everyone found out the truth.

“You should have just rested. I can just grab a taxi or uber,” Carmina said as they walked outside Sandra's mansion.

Simon ignored her and just strode fast

    “Let's talk”Simon's eyes were intense which made Carmina get stunned not only by his unexpected action, but also by the way he seemed very determined of what he wanted to do. She wanted to protest, however, before she could even do that, Simon had already dragged her back to his car and quickly opened the door of the passenger's seat for her. “Get in”His voice was commanding that Carmina thought for a moment that he was a different person. Actually, she had been weirded out by his unusual behavior since earlier when he offered to drive for her. Because the Simon that she knew was playful and had never been silent despite her teasings sometimes were getting overboard. He would incessantly whine and complain but never had he become silent and serious to the point that he looked scarier than Sebastian when got really mad. She took a deep breath when Simon shut the door after she settled in the passenger's seat. She then watched the guy ran towards the other side and waited for him t

    Carmina's tears suddenly stopped from falling as she finally looked up and stared at Simon with utter shock and disbelief. She was rendered speechless as she never had expected that the guy had known her feelings all along.“You're kidding me, right?” she asked in disbelief. She wiped her tears and shook her head profusely. She wanted to convince herself that she heard him wrong, but the look on his face were the opposite of what she had wanted him to be. Simon was known to be playful but never was a liar. He might spread fake news but it only happens because he thought it was true and people around him misinformed him as well. He glanced at Carmina and smiled sadly. “I wish I was just kidding though,” he replied in a very serious face. Simon then immediately looked away as he was scared that she could see through him and read his mind. All the pain, and all of the confusions he was suffering from all the revelations of Carmina had its own reason why he felt that. “You might have

    Bammie and Mr. Lee both looked up upon hearing the loud footsteps coming from the staircase. Then, they saw Mrs. Lee hastily walking down with a flushed face while giggling like a teenager. “Be careful,” Mr. Lee said as he stood up and met his wife halfway. “Where are the kids?” he asked the moment he reached her and assisted her from walking down the stairs. “They're busy,” Mrs. Lee chirped as she grinned meaningfully. Bammie's sleepiness suddenly disappeared as her ears instantly perked up upon sensing that something was fishy with her answer. Looking up, her gaze casted up on the old woman. “What are they doing, Auntie? Did you hear them making weird sounds?” she asked expectantly. She wouldn't be surprised if the old woman would answer yes because she knew the couple seemed to not get enough of each other, even if they were always together everyday after they became an official couple. Well, she cannot blame them as that's how it really was. She will actually be more worried i

    Sebastian smiled as he woke up again in Sandra's bed. This time he didn't wake up with an empty space beside him. His lips stretched more when he felt Sandra's arms wrapped tightly around his torso which made him let out a sigh of relief. “You're in a very good mood, huh,” Sandra commented with eyes still closed and head remained pressed on Sebastian's naked chest.The guy chuckled as he combed her hair using his finger and softly gave her forehead a lingering kiss. “Good morning,” he greeted Sandra smiled at the sound of his husky voice and slowly fluttered her eyes open. Her hazel orbs sparkled upon meeting Sebastian's eyes and both of their smiles widened that almost ripped their faces in half. “Good morning to you too,” she greeted back. Sebastian chuckled as he cupped her cheek and claimed her lips. He still cannot believe that he can do that freely now to the woman he was loving from afar for five years. As he thought it would only be a dream that was impossible to achiev

    “Who is he, Sandra?” Mrs. Lee repeated as she frowned at Sandra. “That's Jay Kim,” Bammie was the one who answered her question. Almost instantly, Mrs. Lee's face darkened as she almost ran towards the unexpected visitor. If not for her husband's quick reflexes and immediately grabbing her wrist to stop her, she would've pounced on him and ruined his handsome face by scratching it with her claws like an angry cat. “What is that guy doing here?!” she screamed in anger while profusely shaking her arm that's been locked from his husband's grip. It was obvious that she loathed the guy even though she hadn't met him and didn't even know who he was at all. But by the fact that he was the one who had spread fake news and taking her son's position in Sandra's life was enough reason for her to feel that way. Meanwhile, since Mrs. Lee's voice was so loud, it immediately caught Jay's attention and made him look in their direction. He frowned at first upon seeing unfamiliar faces, but when hi

    “That guy! Who does he think he is?! The nerve to say those things in front of Sebastian!” Mrs. Lee shouted in fury after Jay turned to leave. She didn't care if he heard her, it was actually much better if he did and went back there so she could give him an earful. Fuming, she then turned to her son and pointed at him angrily.“And you! Why didn't you do something?! You should have stand up for yourself right at the moment he mistook you as Sandra's bodyguard!” she reprimanded. “Why are you like that? For once, please put up a fight and take stand up for what is rightfully yours,” the old woman added as she shook her head. The poor son, Sebastian, could only sigh and lowered his head. His mother's words were so sharp that it made him feel small. He regretted that he just stood there and let Jay Kim insult him indirectly. He didn't even do anything when the guy looked down on his parents and just stood there quietly just like a useless statue. “He even called us charity! What did

    Simon was hesitant to leave as he looked worriedly at Carmina. However, his mother already dragged him outside the gate after the two old couple left some reminders to the young couple. “Mom! Can you stay until Sissy is done talking with Carmina? I just want to see if the talk will be done smoothly!” Simon pleaded. Mrs. Lee folded her arms as he stared at her youngest son. “Tell me honestly, fo you kike Carmina?” she suddenly asked which rendered Simon speechless. It was a rare sight to see the guy got out of words and not reacting in exaggeration. Usually, he would be gasping loudly and would be dramatic if the question was just nothing to him. Mrs. Lee raised an eyebrow as she watched her son twisted his lips and was about to cry. The sight instantly made her heart softened as she realized how young the guy still that he cannot handle underpressure. “I know you can't lie and I won't pressure youto answer that anymore. But Simon..” she let out a sigh and shook her head. Simon n

    Carmina immediately looked away as guilt was eating her out. She then recalled their first serious talk just a few months ago, after the incident that lasted for five years. She remembered Sandra's conditions that made her laugh too loud and how proud she was to say how ridiculous it was, when in fact, deep down inside her back then, she was cursing herself for being such a big fat liar. Sandra probably had seen through her that's why she made that condition for her. She wanted her to avoid Sebastian because she was jealous which she assured her that she has nothing to be jealous of her. But now, she felt like her own words was slapping her hard in front of Sandra who did nothing but be forgivable with her. “I know my apologies can't be fixed whatever damage I have done. But really.. I'm very sorry for all the trouble,” she immediately said as she played ith her fingers. “I know it's absurb to as for another forgiveness from you after breaking your two condition,” she added. The

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! Some even had the audacity to confess just like what she's telling him right at the moment, and it's making him really furious! “Of course I told him I wouldn't replace you with anyone else. Phoenix is the only one in this world,” she giggled. And just like that, like his old self who never fails to melt everytime she says the right words, he smiled widely, showing his gummy and pearly white teeth. Ah, he's still and will always be head over heels for her even after years of being together. “I really want to think about kissing you hard on national televis

    “Before we start, I would like to thank you first for trusting us for this exclusive interview again, Sandra,” the host stated.Sandra flashed a smile, “Of course, this is my favorite show”“Really?” She nodded, “And I kinda owe you, too..”The host seemed surprised and she couldn't help but gaped at 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. However, someone from the side didn't look pleased and rather seemed pissed off over something no one could figure out why. “How?” the host asked excitedly.Sandra glanced on the side where Sebastian was silently standing. She then giggled at the sight of her husband looking very pissed off.“You interviewed him after my confession”“Oh.. so, you were watching back then?” “I told you,

    Shocked, confused, lost were all be seen in everyone's faces after that speech from Sandra Mendez. 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. She wasn't looking

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. But since he was in denial that it was Sandra who apologized to him over the phone, he quickly

    News about the royal couple being married broke down and spread out so quickly, right after Jay Kim showed the marriage certificate on national television. 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. Sandra sighed as she looked at Sebastian apologetically for she knew it was already exhausting for her husband to have never ending rumors about her. 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. Sebastian shook his head and kissed his wife's forehead

    “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

    Upon seeing Jamaica's unusual expression, everyone in the office felt nervous, especially when she mentioned ‘bad news’. There was just too much bad news that kept on coming for them. And hearing that there was more of it made them instantly panicked and thought of the worst because they all assumed that it came from Thomas Mendez. 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. She was not in her best mood because

    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. Meanwhile, Bammie rolled her eyes and scoffed. “Why

    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
