LEXI'S POVI woke up to the sensation of a kiss on my forehead. When I opened my eyes, I saw Chase staring at me. He smiled, which made me sit up quickly. I didn’t realize I had fallen asleep.“How long have you been here?” I asked him.“I just got here,” he answered briefly.“Sorry, I fell asleep. Where is Chelsea?” I asked again.“She just stepped out for a moment.”I glanced back at Chase. He was still wearing his polo shirt, but his necktie was gone. His hair was messy, and his clothes were crumpled. His smile didn’t reach his eyes, and I couldn’t stop myself from asking him.“Is there something wrong?” I asked.“Are you hungry? Let’s eat,” he said, abruptly changing the topic.He was about to walk out of the room, but I quickly grabbed his hand. He stopped but didn’t turn to face me.“Grey, tell me,” I said with courage.He turned to me and knelt, so our faces were level because I was still sitting on the bed.“Let’s get married, Lexi Ann,” he said desperately.“What?” I asked, a

THIRD POVShiela had been discharged from the hospital and returned home, but she remained unusually quiet. Ricky was deeply concerned about his daughter’s behavior but couldn’t do much for now. Despite his reluctance, he left the house to go to his office, trusting his wife to stay and look after her daughter.Once Shiela was certain that her father had left, she quickly went to the kitchen where her mother was currently cooking.“Mom, what’s the news?” she asked urgently.“It’s not good, but don’t worry. I’m working on it. For now, just continue acting withdrawn and quiet whenever you’re around with your father. He needs to feel how much this is affecting you so he won’t approve of the wedding,” Minda explained at length.Brenna sighed and shook her head slightly. She couldn’t believe everything that had happened. But she was sure of one thing: Lexi was in love with James now. So, she was baffled as to how her half-sister and Chase had gotten back together. Something didn’t feel rig

LEXI'S POVI woke up early because, truthfully, I didn’t get much sleep last night. Chelsea, who shared the bed with me, was still sound asleep, while Chase slept on the floor. Audrey insisted on staying over at the condo out of concern for me, so the three of us came home together last night.I got up quietly to avoid waking the siblings. I decided to cook breakfast for the three of us since Chase and I both had work for the day. I had also made up my mind to return to the office because staying in the condo might drive me crazy. Chelsea had plans of her own today, so it was better for the three of us to eat breakfast together before heading off to our respective activities.I was used to cooking breakfast—I had been doing it for years. Whenever I knew Papa would have breakfast at home, I always volunteered to cook. He didn’t know, but it made me happy to see him enjoying the meals I prepared for him.Chase had plenty of food stocked in his condo. He rarely stayed there since he usua

LEXI'S POV"Thank you for dropping me off, Grey," I said with a smile as his car stopped in front of the building where I work.He smiled back at me. "Are you sure you’re ready to go back to work?" he asked."Of course. I can’t afford to stop working—I don’t want to run out of money, especially now that I can’t rely on Papa," I said jokingly.That was true. I didn’t want to stop working because I’d never wanted to depend on Papa for my financial needs, even before. Especially now, with all the problems at home."I could support you, you know. You don’t need to work," he said, smiling."Crazy. You’re not obligated to do that. Anyway, I’ll see you later. Bye."I was about to get out of the car when he suddenly grabbed my hand. I turned to him, puzzled. I didn’t think I’d forgotten anything."I love you, Lex," he said seriously.I became even more confused. "Grey, you don’t have to say that. No one’s watching us," I replied."I know. But we need to practice—to get used to it," he explain

THIRD POVThe video of Chase proposing to Lexi quickly went viral. Shiela saw it too, and she screamed at the top of her lungs, overwhelmed with rage. Her mother, Minda, immediately rushed to her and was equally furious when she saw the video."I can’t take this, Mama. Do something about this!" Shiela shouted angrily.Her mother promised her that the couple would be separated, but after watching the video, she realized their plan had become much more difficult. Chase had publicly announced his desire to marry Lexi to the entire country. She couldn’t accept this. She should have been the woman Chase proposed to, the one he knelt before. That proposal she had dreamed of for years was instead given to her mortal enemy."I can’t lose like this. She’s just Papa’s illegitimate child! She doesn’t deserve this. I should be the one, Mama. Only me!" she yelled hysterically.Her mother tried to calm her down, embracing her while stroking her hair."There’s still a way, my dear. That woman will n

LEXI'S POV"Are you already at home?"I glanced at my father's house while holding my phone to my right ear."I just need to drop by somewhere, Grey," I curtly replied to Trevor at the other end of the line."Okay, take care, Lex."I didn’t respond further and simply ended the call. I took a deep breath while staring at the gate. I had called Linda earlier, and she said that Papa and Aunt Minda would be home late. Shiela, on the other hand, was still devastated and just staying in her room, which gave me the courage to come home."Hija, why don’t you come in? Come inside," Linda greeted me as she stepped out of the gate.I quickly approached her and hugged her. I missed Linda, who had stood in as my mother, and I couldn’t help but cry because of it. The longing for a mother's child was still lingering in my mind."Lexi, don’t make me cry too," she said, almost in tears.I smiled faintly. I wiped my tears quickly and released her. If I had my own house, I would have taken her with me s

CHELSEA'S POVI decided to stay at my brother's condo because I wanted to see Lexi again. However, when I arrived, no one was there. My brother had already told me he’d be home late, and I couldn’t get through to Lexi. She is not answering my calls. Left with no choice, I called Chase instead."Chelsea, are you at the condo already?" he greeted."Yes, Chase. But Lexi isn’t here," I replied, glancing at my watch.It was already seven in the evening. I didn’t want to think negatively, but I couldn’t help worrying about her. She once told me how Shiela had nearly attempted to harm her, so I couldn’t shake off my anxiety."I’m on my way home."That was all Chase said before hanging up. I let out a sigh and slumped onto the sofa. Both of them are going through so much right now. That’s why I wanted them to feel that I was on their side. I also wanted Lexi to experience what it’s like to have a supportive sibling, something her half-sister had denied her. She's a great person, and she does

LEXI'S POVI slowly opened my eyes, greeted by a white ceiling. I scanned the room and spotted Chelsea arranging food on a table not too far away from where I was."Chelsea," I called softly."Hey, Lexi, how are you feeling? Do you need anything? Should I call the doctor?" she asked rapidly, worry evident in her voice.I gently shook my head, unable to respond as she suddenly embraced me. Her unexpected gesture caught me off guard."Lexi, please don’t scare us like that again. Chase and I were so worried," she said gently.I couldn’t hold back my tears any longer. Everything that had happened earlier came rushing back to me, and I was beyond grateful that the siblings were there to help me. If they hadn’t arrived when they did, I might not even be alive right now. But even now, I can’t fully process the horrible truths I have learned from James.All my life, they made me believe my mother’s death was an accident. And now, they are trying to take my father away from me, too. I couldn’t

LEXI'S POV"Where are you? You're not here at the hospital," Chase's voice greeted me the moment I answered his call.I let out a deep sigh. "I'm on my way back, but there's someone I need to talk to first. Do you have anything else scheduled?" I asked in return."I canceled my other appointments. Do you want me to go with you?" His voice carried a serious undertone."No, it's okay, Grey This won't take long. I'll be back soon.""Alright, be careful. Call me if you need anything. I love you, Baby.""I love you too, Grey."I ended the call and started driving. After my conversation with Gino, I received another call—this time from my father’s lawyer. He provided little detail, only emphasizing that our meeting was crucial and had to remain confidential. I had no clue what this was about, especially since this was the first time I would ever speak to him.The meeting place wasn’t far, and in less than thirty minutes, I arrived at an upscale restaurant with private VIP rooms.

LEXI'S POVFor nearly two hours, I sat by my mother’s grave, lost in my thoughts. Eventually, my tears stopped falling on their own. I had also turned off my phone to keep anyone from disturbing me. I made sure to let Chase know that I was fine, so he wouldn’t worry. We both needed time and space to think. We had needed each other before, but for now, perhaps being apart was what we truly needed.I finally decided to stand up, brushing off the dirt from my clothes. I had to return to the hospital. My father needed me there.“I’ll visit again, Mama. I love you so much, and I miss you terribly.”I turned to leave, but in my absentmindedness, I failed to notice someone approaching. I only snapped back to reality when a firm, but gentle hand caught my arm.“Lexi.”I looked up and was momentarily startled. “Gino… It’s you.”Standing before me was Gino, Chase’s former teammate—the same man who had helped us when Shiela got drunk at the bar.“Yeah. I’ve been calling your name, but you seemed

LEXI'S POV"I don't know how to tell Papa and Chelsea about what I’ve discovered," Chase said in a low voice after recounting everything he had learned.I could no longer hold back my tears. Everything I had just found out was overwhelming, and I didn’t even know how to react. Papa had just woken up, but he still couldn't speak. He had no way of telling me what really caused his attack. I had no idea how much he knew about Aunt Minda.And now, I had learned that Chase’s stepmother was Aunt Minda’s lover and accomplice in the accident that killed my mother. If we could get the truck driver to testify, it would be enough to put Aunt Minda behind bars. But along with that would come the destruction of Chase’s family. And I didn’t know how Chelsea and Uncle Carlo would take it.I had no problem if my father’s family fell apart—he didn’t deserve someone like my stepmother. I wouldn’t hesitate to expose the whole truth to finally get justice for my mother. But Chase’s family was different.

FLASHBACK“Good morning, Sir Ricky.”Ricky merely nodded in response to the greeting of the man he had tasked with investigating his wife. The man had been tailing Minda for nearly two weeks and had only now come forward to report. Ricky despised what he was doing, but his unease had grown unbearable over the past weeks. He had caught his wife talking on the phone several times, her tone secretive, and she had been leaving the house more frequently—without telling him where she was going.“Any news?” he asked, his voice devoid of emotion.“Sir Ricky, your wife often visits an exclusive village. I couldn’t follow her inside because of the tight security, but every time she left that exclusive village, a tinted car always followed her. I couldn’t confirm if a man was driving it. I tried tailing the car, but whoever was inside must have noticed me because they managed to shake me off. Aside from that village, she doesn’t seem to go anywhere else.”Ricky clenched his fists tightly. His su

THIRD POVChase was so overwhelmed by the truth he had just uncovered that he couldn’t remember how he ended up standing in front of the TAC Group of Companies' building. He stood there, frozen at the entrance, staring blankly into space.“Good morning, Sir Chase.”The cheerful greetings of the employees snapped him out of his stupor. Forcing a polite smile, he nodded at them before taking a deep breath and walking inside. He was certain his father was in his office. He didn’t know exactly what he would do, but he couldn’t keep what he had learned from his father.“Papa, are you busy?” Chase asked as he entered the office.“No. Actually, I was just about to head to the hospital. I heard what happened to Ricky. Wait—why are you here? Shouldn’t you be with your wife?” Carlo asked, his expression filled with concern.“Papa, we need to talk,” he said firmly, his voice laced with tension.“Is it urgent, son? You know I canceled all my appointments today because of what happened to Ricky,”

THIRD POVWhen Savina arrived at the hospital, Chase excused himself from Lexi. He needed to confront his father about everything that had been happening. He had to confirm his suspicion: was his father involved with Emerald’s stepmother? But before he could reach his father’s office, his phone buzzed with a call from the investigator.“Mr. Sandoval, I found the driver of the truck that hit the taxi back then.”Instead of going to his father, Chase prioritized meeting the driver responsible for the accident that killed Lexi’s mother. The driver lived in a nearby province, and within an hour, Chase found himself in front of a small, shabby house.A frail, elderly man was sweeping the yard. Chase glanced at the photo in his hand and confirmed—it was the same man. The answers to his questions lay with him.“Mr. Dela Cruz,” he called out.The man froze. As soon as their eyes met, he turned and attempted to run, but he was quick to grab his arm.“Wait, please.”“Did they send you here to k

LEXI'S POV"I will call Grandma Mirasol to inform her about this," Chase said with a smile as we got back into his car."Grey, can we not? At least, not yet?" I asked hesitantly.My husband's smile faded instantly. "Why?"I placed a hand on my stomach and let out a deep sigh. "I didn’t want anyone to know yet. I’m scared that my sister might turn her anger towards our baby. I don’t want our child to get hurt," I said, my voice trembling as tears welled up in my eyes.Chase leaned closer, gently kissing my forehead. "I understand, Lexi. I know it’s selfish, but what if you leave for a while? Go with Grandma abroad. I will handle everything here."I shook my head quickly. "I won’t leave you, Chase. I don’t want to."He stared at me, and after a few moments, he sighed. "Alright, fine. But I think it’s best if you quit your job. I can’t always be there to watch over you, Lexi. And I think it’s safer if we move into the mansion. At least there, I know you’ll be protected," he said firmly.

LEXI'S POVAfter speaking with the investigator, Chase fell into a heavy silence. He drove without a word, heading to an unknown destination. I could feel his confusion and anger, so I chose to remain quiet as well. I was just as lost in my thoughts, unsure of how to process everything I had learned. Was the world really this small for Chase and me?An hour passed, and Chase finally stopped the car. I looked out the window and realized we were by the beach. So absorbed was I in my thoughts that I hadn’t noticed how far we had gone.He got out without a word, and I followed him. He took off his shoes and let the seawater lap at his feet. Then, with all his might, he screamed into the open air.“Grey,” I called softly.He dropped to his knees, overwhelmed, and I quickly approached him.“I don’t know how to feel if I find out my father is truly behind all this,” he said, tears streaming down his face.I shook my head gently. “Grey, don’t think like that yet. Don’t doubt your father unles

LEXI'S POVI opened my eyes as I felt Chase getting up. He headed straight to the bathroom, while I slowly got out of bed. A grimace crossed my face as I felt the heaviness in my body. I lay back down, sensing that something wasn’t quite right. Thankfully, I still had one more day of leave, given that I had just gotten married. As for my husband, I wasn’t sure if he had plans because he seemed to be in a hurry.When he came out of the bathroom, our eyes met.“You’re awake,” he said, looking a bit surprised.I glanced at his outfit. “Are you going out?” I couldn’t help but ask.He gave a small smile and nodded lightly. “I wasn’t sure if I should tell you, but I’m meeting James,” he said directly.“James? Why? I’m coming with you.”I sat up quickly. As I was about to head to the bathroom, Chase grabbed my arm.“Are you ready to hear what he has to say?” he asked seriously.“Ready or not, I need to do this, Grey. We can’t move forward if we don’t start somewhere,” I replied firmly.He si
