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

SHIELA'S POVI threw my phone against the wall in a fit of rage, shattering it into pieces. I screamed loudly, punching the pillows on my bed repeatedly."Shiela, what is it this time?" Mama asked as she stormed into my room."We need to kill that woman," I spat, my voice filled with venom.The anger burning inside me was unbearable. If I saw Lexi now, I wouldn’t hesitate to end her life. She had become a massive thorn in my side, standing in the way of everything I wanted."Calm yourself, Shiela. It’s a good thing your father isn’t home yet, or he might have heard you," Mama scolded me, her tone was sharp.Tears streamed down my face as I trembled with rage. I felt nothing but hatred and fury coursing through me."She’s not the same Lexi who always agreed with Papa. I don’t understand what changed her. It can’t be because of Chase, since she already loves James," I ranted.Mama sat beside me and gently wiped my tears. "Haven’t I told you before? Leave Lexi to me. You just need to kee

LEXI'S POV"Are you okay?"I looked up at Chase, surprised that he had already entered the room without me noticing it. I managed a faint smile. After everything that happened earlier, Chelsea chose to go home with their parents, while Chase stayed here at his condo to keep me company. After his bold declaration earlier, his father had stormed off in silence, followed by my own father. It seemed none of them could believe what he had said."Chelsea said they’re home now, and it’s peaceful there," he added, breaking the silence.I took a deep breath, letting my thoughts wander back to the events of the day. Everything was becoming far too complicated. When I saw Aunt Minda earlier, my hands trembled with rage. I wanted to confront her, to scream at her for what she had done, but I couldn’t let her know that I already knew the truth. I didn’t have a solid plan yet on how to get back at her.I knew their mother-daughter act was calculated. They had likely orchestrated the events earlier

THIRD POV“Can I finally get your approval to marry Lexi?” Chase asked, emotionless.Chase was currently at his family’s mansion, summoned by his father. He had left Lexi at the condo, still sound asleep. He had written her a note to ensure she wouldn’t worry when she woke up.It was the weekend, and Chase had planned to take Lexi out for some relaxation. However, since speaking with his father was a rare opportunity, he decided to indulge the older man’s request.“I want to understand why you’re so eager to marry that woman,” his father said seriously.He let out a bitter laugh. “Aren’t you the one pushing me to get married? That’s why you want me to marry that woman you liked,” he retorted."That woman has a name. It's Shiela.""Lexi also had a name," he said seriously.His father took a deep breath. “All we want is what’s best for you. Your mother chose Shiela because she knows who’s best for you. And it’s her.”Chase looked at his mother in disbelief. He had always thought she was

SHIELA'S POV"Where are you going?" Mama asked as soon as she saw me step out of my room."I need some air, Mama. I just want to relax," I replied quickly.Mama took a deep breath. She knew very well that when I wanted to go out, it meant I was extremely stressed out. There wasn’t much I could do right now since she told me to lie low. She assured me that she was handling things to stop Chase and Lexi's wedding, so I should just rest for now."Fix yourself up because Chase's mother called. Mrs. Mirasol, the grandmother, wants to meet you," Mama said seriously."When will that be?" I asked eagerly.This was a great opportunity to win Chase's grandmother over. If I could secure the approval of his entire family, Lexi might back out of the wedding herself.“Tonight. We’re having dinner at their place. Make sure you’re home early,” Mama replied.I nodded quickly. “Alright, Mama. I’ll come home early.”“You better. You need to get on his grandmother’s good side. Who knows? She might even a

THIRD POV"Are you ready?" Ricky asked his wife and daughter seriously as they prepared to leave for the Sandoval mansion.Shiela descended the stairs with a broad smile on her face. She was wearing a maroon dress paired with 4-inch heels, her hair styled and makeup flawless. She had meticulously prepared for this dinner because she was finally meeting Chase's grandmother. She will make sure that the woman will like her for her grandson."Behave yourselves, both of you. We can’t afford to embarrass ourselves in front of Mrs. Sandoval," Ricky added sternly.Minda chuckled. “When have we ever embarrassed you? It was always Emerald staining your name,” she said bluntly.“This will be the last time. Shiela, I want you to start forgetting Chase. Let’s leave him and your sister alone,” Ricky said flatly.Ricky had spent days thinking about his decision. He realized he had been unfair to his daughter Lexi and didn’t want to force Shiela onto Chase anymore. Forcing their marriage could only l

LEXI'S POV"Papa, your wish has finally come true. I am now the CEO of your company," I said with a smile, holding my father’s hand.He had been discharged from the hospital and was now recovering at home. I hired a private nurse to care for him and assigned Linda to watch over him as well. Secretly, I installed a CCTV camera in his room, so I could monitor him even when I wasn’t there. At first, Aunt Minda objected, but the doctor himself insisted that my father needed a nurse.Papa smiled at me, and even though he still couldn't speak, I knew he was happy with my news. I longed for the day he could talk again—I knew he had so much he wanted to tell me.Through the camera I had installed, I saw how my stepmother yelled at him, blaming him for why I was now the CEO. She even pointed a finger at him in anger, and it nearly shattered my heart. Thankfully, she didn’t physically hurt him—because if she had, I might not have been able to hold myself back. Despite everything, I knew there w

THIRD POVAfter the meeting, Minda and Shiela remained in the conference room. Both of them seethed with anger at the unexpected turn of events. Minda reread the documents confirming that Lexi was now the major shareholder of Castillon Corporation. No matter how many times she went through them, the contents remained legal and undeniable."You told me she wouldn’t be able to take Chase away from me, and I believed you. And now, Papa’s company belongs to her," Shiela stated, her voice devoid of emotion."I don’t know how this slipped past me. I worked so hard to convince the investors to sell me their shares," Minda muttered in frustration."Can’t you see it, Mama? My father entrusted the company to her on purpose," Shiela said, her voice trembling with unshed tears.Minda clenched her fists tightly. Perhaps her husband had long known about her affair and had taken steps to ensure this outcome before confronting her. She never thought she would be outmaneuvered like this."This is unac

LEXI'S POVAfter the meeting, I immediately stepped out of the conference room. The board had given the management a day to set up my office, so I could officially start at Castillon Corporation. Without wasting any time, I informed Chase that I was now the CEO of my father’s company. Just like me, I knew he was feeling a mix of happiness and fear—because this new role put my safety at even greater risk."Lexi, congratulations," Attorney Aranza said with a smile as we walked together.I returned with a small smile. "This wouldn't have been possible without you. Thank you for being one of the few people my father truly trusts.""I'm just doing my job as his lawyer… and as his friend," he replied with a reassuring nod."Lexi!"Attorney Aranza and I turned at the sound of my sister's voice. She was rushing toward me, her eyes burning with fury. Instinctively, Attorney Aranza moved in front of me, shielding me from her, which made me smirk."Attorney, I need to talk to my sister, not you,

LEXI'S POV"Are you ready?"I looked at Chase when he entered our room. Like me, he was already dressed for his meetings at their company. I, too, was ready because today was the board meeting to elect the new CEO of my father’s company. As the attorney mentioned yesterday, Aunt Minda was the one who called for the meeting, claiming that my father was no longer capable of running the company due to his condition. The thought of it made me even angrier at my stepmother. Her deception of my father had gone too far."I'm not sure if I can handle the responsibility, but I have to do this because my father’s hard work means a lot to him," I said seriously.My husband approached me and hugged me tightly. "Of course, you can do this, Lex," he reassured me."Would you help me? I need your expertise in managing a business," I asked sincerely. One of the reasons I found the courage to take on this role was knowing that he would guide me. He knew how to run a company."I got your back, always,"

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,”
