It's an old house that most of the employees of the hotel have been calling a mansion. But to his perspective, it's just a typical huge ancestral house, common in the countryside. "You haven't touched your drink. Afraid?" Abby's amused voice tore him away from his silent exploration. "Well, th
"Grandma is waiting. She will see us before she takes her afternoon nap" Dismissing their discussion, she mumbles after a while. The abrupt change of topic made him mentally smirk. But he is fully aware she had not conceded. "Lead the way" He gestures for her to walk ahead. However, she was surp
"Lam Cartagena. My honor meeting you, Madame Fuentebella" With such refinement in his manner, he places a polite kiss on the back of her soft wrinkled hand. "Cartagena...a visitor to Santocildes" she mumbles while trying to recognize such a name. "I'm only here for a job, Madame" helping her, he
"My shift will start at four. I need to leave" he mumbled after they left the matriarch's bedroom. The tense conversation with the old Fuentebella still lingers between them. "We could still grab a snack. McDonalds sounds good" Turning to the watch on her wrist, she sweetly smiles. But she earned
Yes, he saw everything and understood its implications. Any man would never miss it. It's the reason why he needs to tensely shift in his seat while trying to gulp down the quite hefty morsel inside his mouth. "Uhmm..." Clearing his throat, he grabs the drink to wash everything down. He almost ch
"You, Cartagena" Fifteen minutes before the start of his shift, Lam arrived at the hotel. He is about to enter the staff room to change into his waiter uniform when the kitchen manager calls him. "Good afternoon, Mr. Torres" He politely nods, standing a few feet from the manager. "You bring the
Reaching the back part of the hotel, he readily spotted the truck with the newly delivered supplies. A group was already getting ready to transfer whatever was inside the huge vehicle with their push carts. His presence earned him questioning eyes. More so when he started to help with the haul.
Sweat and flexing muscles are two things she didn't expect she would love to see. But watching him drenched in sweat while he labored with the cart full of heavy boxes affects her in a most pleasurable way. He looks dashing even in the most messy state. She was even tempted to rush to his side an
"Well, it won't be that lonely starting today. I have an older sister to bombard with whenever Papa and Mama are being demanding" Davin, who is now on his feet and with normal speech, playfully exclaimed while staring at Abby. "I won't mind at all. I'm so used to chaotic souls. We have a lot back h
"Moppet?" Lucy's voice interrupted her deep thoughts as she mulled at her decision. "You did great, my love. I believe it's about time" he softly continued. Since they left Austin City, Abby has been very quiet. She would blankly stare at nowhere while nursing Luke. But he dare not interrupt. Ev
"Good morning" Lucy greeted with a huge smile upon seeing his brother and nephews in the lobby. He just arrived early in the morning with his staff and Xander has the same entourage as his. "Nnning...." One of the small figures in Xander's arms responded with a sloppy waving. "Hello there litt
"Lam..." She lewdly whimpered as she got restless under his luscious ministration. "I know, my love" He smirked and in one swift move, he bent her on the bed. Her long dress was lifted to her waist, leaving her lower part vulnerable to his delightful assault. "Argh..." She loudly whimpered after
"Lam...?" With furrowed brows, Abby turned to him after realizing where they were. It was evident it had been renovated. It has cleaner walls and floors. The bed looked new although the design of the headboard was the same as she can remember. The entire room looks exactly how it used to, even th
Ignoring the older woman's tirade, she shakes her head. It was a whim to have approached them, but she felt they needed to hear her mind. "No matter what victory you achieved today, you can't deny the fact that I'm capable of stealing from you. The famous heiress was once beaten by just a commoner
Hector furrowed his brows in complete perplexity while alternately staring at the two women. "Lam, her husband, made her bury me in fear of breaking her heart. He doesn't want to give her false hope in case I won't be able to survive the procedure I underwent" she carefully explained with her gent
For mementos, guests and families were called to take pictures with the newlyweds. The last group who joined the couple caught Madame Mariebel's interest. Her eyes narrowed as she watched the interaction of the guests with her granddaughter. As her intent gaze was directed at one figure, Abby su
"That's the only price I'm collecting from you. Withstand the complicated world I have. Together, let's thrive against the ticking of the clock and the days spent by" he is trying to compel her. But her silence made him anxious. "I vow to spend my entire life cherishing you and our children. I comm
