"The patient's vital signs are stable. Let's just wait for her to recover consciousness."Tristan sat down in the empty seat. He looked up, shut his eyes, and afterward, he prayed silently."My God, thank you so much. You did not leave Laila behind ""I am glad that you are here for Laila! Her beast husband left her! After he found his fatty sugar mommy, he didn't come back to their house. That Vincent is a nightmare!"Aunt Cora was next to him. The old woman was still whining about what happened. She blames no one but Vincent. She cussed the man for what he did to Laila.He came into the room where Laila was. She is still unconscious."I am expecting that this is the last time I will see you lying in that bed. It was unbearable to see your life wrecked because of me. May the unpleasant memories be wiped off from your mind," he whispered to the sleeping woman.He stroked her long hair and then gave the girl a light kiss on the forehead.After a few hours of vigilance, he notified the
"Y-Yes, V-Vincent! I will marry you!" she tearfully responded to the man.Her workers came into her office one by one. They are all keeping a red rose.Vincent stood up to place the ring on her finger and after that, he supported her towards the middle of her workroom.The employees approached her one by one to hand over the roses they were holding."Congratulations, Miss Lichauco!" greeting from her secretary with a smile on her lips."Thank you!"Every time she accepts roses, she also receives congratulations from them.She never dreamed of getting married. She has no intention to be bound to a man because that is contrary to her perspectives on life.For her, love is just like venom that can destroy the whole disposition of whoever feels it.But all those assumptions were changed because of Vincent. The man made her feel that even though she is not ideal, she has the right to be loved and cared for.A bunch of applause brought her back to reality. Vincent hugged her tight and then
"What's wrong?"Vincent cupped her small face in his palms."Tell me . . . What's disturbing you?"Romana swallowed several times. She can't figure out if she should inform Vincent of what she saw or just keep it to herself. But no matter what, he will see and see the girl because she's with Roman now."L-Laila . . . L-Laila is here . . . " In the end, she spoke out about what she was afraid of.The man's expression abruptly changed. His previously calm face was tarnished with anger. His perfect jaw clenched after he heard the name of his ex-wife."I assure you that she can't interrupt our wedding. Trust me . . . Don't mind her! This day is our nuptials. This day is the most important event in our lives so don't be affected by that woman's existence!" Vincent whispered.She nodded. Again, they faced the priest. He recited the question and this time, Romana dared to answer."I do, Father.""If anyone knows why this couple should not be lawfully joined in marriage, speak now or forever
"H-He used to be my buddy. B-But Romana came into his life that's why my friend became my ex-friend. U-Until now, I still have a grudge against him, Babe!"Romana let out an incredulous laugh at the woman's lie. She never thought that this bitch was so good at fooling people. She might have believed her if she didn't personally know her."W-Would it be possible for you to just forget the past, Romana? I don't want this to be the reason for us to fight. Right, Babe?"Lalaine embraced the man's waist and then she made a cute face."That was so childish, Babe. I won't be mad just because of that."Roman squeezed the bridge of Lalaine's nose. Romana rolled her eyes because of the sweetness they were showing in front of her.Meanwhile, Vincent can't figure out his feelings. He was upset. He didn't know where it was coming from. He is sick of Laila's affection given to Roman that she once did for him.Laila looks better now. Much better than before. Her former thin body has a shape now. Her
"A-Ah . . . " Lalaine smiled nervously at Roman and then she waved to Romana."H-Hi! S-Sorry, I got lost! Your place is so huge! I just wanted to pee, but I couldn't find your washroom! This path where my feet led me in my search!" Lalaine's reasons."Why didn't you ask me? I could come with you. There is a toilet downstairs. You shouldn't just step into someone else's room." Romana shot the woman with a scornful look from head to toe."S-Sorry again! B-Babe, join me downstairs! I-I haven't used the bathroom yet. There is someone inside so I can't pee either."Lalaine hastily wrapped her arm around Roman's arm and then she pulled the man down to the first floor.Romana's eyes narrowed as she entered their room. She had a bad feeling about Laila's actions. She groped for the light switch on the wall and immediately the surroundings lit up as she pressed it. Just as Vincent came out of the washroom."M-Mommy? S-Sorry, I didn't make it to come back downstairs. I got dizzy because of the
"The beauty of the place hasn't changed. I am so delighted that we have the luck to come back here."Romana clutched her husband's arm while watching over the surroundings. The golden sand and blue sea are really lovely. She will never lose her interest to come back here."H-Have you already visited this place?" Lalaine asked them."Yes, Babe. They came here a year ago," Roman answered back to his girlfriend."You hung around here for a week if I am not mistaken, right?" Roman turned to her.Reluctantly, she smiled and nodded at her brother."You two are so adorable. I never thought you loved spending time together."She can't foresee if the smiles she sees on Lalaine's lips are real or just a delusion. Even if the world turned upside down, the fact that Vincent and Romana are the reasons why she suffered a lot. That is why it is so hard for Romana to believe that Lalaine would be this kind to them.They reached the hotel where they were going to stay which was also owned by Roman. Th
"A-Aah! Y-Yes, Laila!"Vincent followed Lalaine with a thud. Off and on, she sucked the end of his part so he becomes delirious because of the pleasure he is enjoying.Laila's upgrade is really unexpected, particularly in bringing her partner satisfaction. Now he pondered how blessed Roman was with his ex-wife. Wealthy, young, exquisite, seductive, and most of all, wild.He was nearly to burst when she quelled in moving and then she stood up pursued by a playful grin at him."I'm almost there, why did you stop?" he asked with a frown."What about me? I met you here because Roman can't fill my needs. Don't tell me you're going to cum without warming me?"After hearing Lalaine's reason, Vincent quickly pushed the woman against the wall. He licked his fingers before he slipped his hand inside of her underwear.Lalaine bit her lip as his long fingers started to stroke her moist gem."Oooh, God! T-That tastes good!"She intentionally boosted her moans as she frequently closed her eyes so t
They returned to their separate spaces after having dinner. Lalaine casually reached out to Vincent before he gets into the room."Mix it in your old wife's beverage so she can fall asleep fast," she whispered as she passed the tiny bottle to the man."Is it safe? She can't take any harmful prescriptions." Hesitantly, he glanced at the thing on his palm.Romana was good to Vincent that's why he can't harm her. Also, she will carry his child for the future so her security is nonetheless important to him. He cared for her and he loved her so much even though he was cheating behind her back."Don't worry, there are no side effects. It's just a sleeping pill."He accepted it and hid it in his pocket."Vincent? Aren't you coming inside yet?" Romana called him."Let's meet later," Vincent whispered before proceeding inside."What else did you do outside?"Romana was making their bed. She has also changed her nightwear."Lalaine just informed me something. She told she wants us to go with the
"It's not that easy what you want to happen. You already have a girlfriend. I don't want to ruin a relationship for the second time."She avoided looking at Evo. She wanted to continue their past, but it wasn't possible. It would be horrendous if her mistake would happen again."You don't need to worry about Thea.""Don't you really understand? I don't want another woman to suffer because of me! Is it really that easy for you to switch girlfriends? After you've taken advantage of them, you'll just leave them like a piece of trash?!" she asked angrily.Because of the strength of her voice, Baby Rebecca awakened. The baby cried loudly. Romana tried to calm her child but Rebecca didn't stop. Roman approached her to take the baby for a moment."I'll take care of my nephew. I think you two need to talk suitably."After his brother got out of the door carrying her daughter, Evo locked the room."What are you doing?" She raised an eyebrow.Evo grinned widely as his tongue ran over his white
"P-please, L-Lalaine! D-don't do it! I am begging you! T-tell me what I have to do so you can forgive me for everything I've done wrong! I-I'll do anything!"Lalaine grinned. She hugged the baby tightly again. Her gazes were burning as their eyes met."You will do everything? Did I hear it correctly, Romana?"Romana quickly bobbed despite the shivering of her entire body."I-I'll give it whatever it is! Just don't take the most precious treasure I have from me!"Lalaine raised her index finger high. Romana's eyes followed the movement of her hand and her heart beat fast as the woman pointed her finger to the bottom of the building."Jump," Lalaine ordered her dead emotionally."W-what?" she stammered.The two men straightened in their spots at Lalaine's order."Enough, Lalaine!" Tristan shouted."Why? Can't you, Romana? I thought you would do anything for this child. If you die, you are paid for everything you owe me. You stole my quiet and beautiful life I had! If it wasn't because o
"R-Romana. . . " Evo tried to hold her hand and reveal the truth that it was all just a show but was stopped by a strong slap in the face.He could feel the pain on his skin, but for Evo, that pain was nothing compared to the pain he caused Romana to feel now."I-I thought you would understand me ... Y-You abandoned me … I don't want to see your face anymore, E-Evo Xylon. You are just making me suffer even more every time I see you. Get lost! Stay away from me!"Evo bowed down. He lost his mind that what the woman was going through was too heavy, but instead of staying by her side, he chose to walk away.Roman gently patted his shoulder. "It's alright, man. I'll take care of my sister. Thank you very much for taking us here."Evo walked slowly towards the door to leave the house. All this time, all he wanted was to experience Romana to fight her love for him, but he did not foresee that by doing that, he was already torturing Romana's heart.Roman received an anonymous call after Evo
"Kitty! Let's find Baby Rebecca! I can't afford to lose her!" Romana cried hysterically to her companion.She freaked out and didn't care what people around her would think. She crouched on the floor, worried about what might happen to Baby Rebecca."Ma'am Romana, calm down. We will ask for help."Those in charge instantly responded to the scene of the crime. One of the security guards of that establishment approached to inquire what happened. Correspondingly, a staff member has already phoned the authority to deal with the case.Kitty reached Roman. The maid likewise couldn't think straight anymore."Hello, Kitty?" Roman answered from the other line."S-Sir. . ." she stammered, incapable of concealing the tension in her voice.Roman scowled. "Is there a problem?"Even Roman's companion, Evo, stopped what he was doing. They are presently playing billiards at Evo's place."What? All right! Stay there! I'm going!"Roman quickly pulled out the jacket from the coat rack and then left in a
She laughed bitterly; couldn't believe that Evo would bring up that issue out of the blue."Is it forbidden to hug you? We used to do more than that, didn't we?" Romana's eyes broadened as she asked her ex-lover."So, you are still head over heels in love with me?" He grinned while stroking his detailed jawline.A winced and sardonic laughter echoed around the house. "What a jerk!""Did you use illegal drugs abroad? The reason why you're out of your mind now?" she summed up."Why don't you just admit that you can't get over me? You still love me, am I right?”"In your dreams!"That debate was cut in only when the short-tempered doctor stood up from his seat. Roman just stared at them, listening to frivolous arguments.He looked at the three of them back and forth."Damn it! So irritating!" Tyrone broke into their argument."I'm leaving before I go completely crazy because of these two," Tyrone added before he walked out disappointed.With extensive steps, he spelled the direction to t
"E-Evo. . . "Nothing has changed in the appearance of her ex-lover. If there is, it's just the slight maturation of his face.Yet, the fineness of his posture and his handsomeness did not diminish. If she were to be asked, he became even more gorgeous in her eyes."Evo!" she exclaimed again with a tone of excitement.Rapidly, she strolled closer to embrace him tightly but. . ."Honey. . ." called the girl who had just come out of the washroom.She froze and glanced at the unfamiliar face of the woman in confusion.Apparently, she had just seen the woman just now but what confused her mind more was who the girl called honey.Is it Roman?Tyrone?Or Evo?"Honey?" Shocked and bewildered while looking at the two men alternately."A-ah, R-Romana. . . S-she's Thea by the way. . . Evo's fiancée," Roman introduced the woman.It was as if a vital slap blasted her face due to shame."Huh?" That was the only word that came out of her mouth. Didn't know how to react.Eyes became mischievous, try
Unexpectedly, the door of her room opened. They both turned to the door, followed by the entrance of his brother, Roman; they were caught in such a position."Hey! Are you scaring my sister too? Stay away from her!" The doctor said nothing.It comes off that what Tyrone is doing to her is common for Roman.He came in holding up a large tote bag with various contents such as bread, fruits, fresh milk, and others.Tyrone immediately moved away from her, looking at her brother without emotion."Next time, don't ask me to do things like this, okay? I'm a doctor and also a businessman, not a caregiver! Babysit your sister 'cause I have a crucial thing to do." Tyrone left the room after that.Roman shook his head at his friend's behavior."Is that really your friend? He has such a bad attitude!" Romana asked followed by a flash of smirk on her lips.Roman just laughed. "Sorry for that. That one is really rude but he is kind. You see... He still watched over you even though he was against i
"R-Roman! A-are we still far?!" Romana asked her brother between accented groans.She was in the backseat while her brother had his eyes seriously concentrated on the highway. From time to time, he glimpsed at her to see how she was doing."Just be patient, Romana. We'll get to the nearest hospital."A few minutes passed before they reached their destination. Roman got out of the car, he was immediately greeted by two nurses."What's the problem?" one of them asked him."My sister is in the car. She's nearly to give birth. . . P-please, please assist her!"One of the two nurses who came upon them ran back inside the hospital and he returned with a stretcher."Sir, we're going to shift her here."They supported Romana down to the car and then carefully transferred her to the stretcher. She was frequently inhaling air because it seemed like she was about to run out of breath."Relax, Ma'am. Don't worry, we will do the best we can to help you," the nurse calmed her before pushing her to
It's not easy to start over but Romana has no other option but to face tomorrow alone.Ever since Evo left, she had a hard time. Although she had many attendants to serve her, it still felt different to have a shoulder that you could lean on during hard times. She misses his care.To make an escape, she made an effort to crochet a hat, a mitten for her baby's hands, and socks using red and pink cotton yarn. She persistently watched videos on the internet to learn how to do it."Looks like we're doing something serious there, huh?" Roman remarked to her.The man just came from work. He begged her very much to cure their connection as siblings.Roman was the only family she had, so she agreed to reconcile.And even on the day that they resolved the problem, he did not agree to live in a different house anymore.He said it would be better if they lived together under the same roof so he could monitor her and her baby.She did not attempt to object. It's sad to be alone, especially since
