"Let the janitors clean this mess. And please don't show your face to Abby in the meantime" Massaging his temple, he sternly instructed. Whatever Abby was up to, he had to take precautions not to trigger her more. "Yes, sir" Mr. Torres fervently nods before gesturing for the janitors to start clea
"His importance to me is none of your business" Sneering, she glares her indignation. She deems his question is out of context. Unnecessary for their current circumstance. "He is new to the hotel and he could be a killer or gold digger for all we know" "Really, Justin? For a President of a huge co
"What is it all about, Justin?" The moment Abby left, Alice turned to confront him. "She is just throwing a tantrum. Nothing's new" dismissingly, he mutters. But his gaze follows Abby's departing figure and Alice has a glimpse of the longing he struggles to hide. "I'm pregnant with your child a
If a sharp gaze could kill, Lam would be long dead. "Are you challenging me, Cartagena?" Stepping forward, he mutters. "No, sir, I'm not. But I know how to defend myself if I need to" Standing his ground, he remains motionless. Unbothered by the dire atmosphere enveloping the small room. "You
Giving the manager a slight nod, he went to one of the tables with a group of middle-aged women to refill their glasses. He needs to get his mind busy. "Madame Mariebel is surely disappointed with her granddaughter" Upon hearing the Fuentebella matriarch's name, Lam dally in pouring the lady's dr
Abby cautiously glances at Lam who has been very quiet beside her. It was midday when she received a message from the mansion. She was summoned by her grandmother. However, she was surprised when she found her father and his family. They, too, were summoned. Her bafflement intensified when Lam a
Seeing her more composed, Mariebel turned to the men beside her wheelchair. "Give them the document" she gestures, to which her lawyers immediately obeyed. "Today, Abigail Marie Fuentebella Sandoval will marry Lam Cartagena" The matriarch's declaration almost knocks Abigail's breath. As she ga
She was betrayed by her fiancee. She lost her father to his shameless and golddigger wife. She has no profession in her own hometown. Her grandmother is ailing, already waiting for death to claim her. At the age of twenty-nine, she has nothing to lose anymore. She could choose to just play around
"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
