Book #5 - Wright-Petrov Series "Tonight, we are happy to announce the engagement of my son Justin Del Castillo to the daughter of our dear family friend, Miss Alice Campo" Standing at the door, unnoticed, I watch the announcement made by Mr. Arnold Del Castillo, Justin's father. And I could clearly see how Alice's face lit up with happiness. "We are also excited to announce that Alice bears the heir of the Del Castillo family. It's about time the two families unite not only in business but in blood as one family" Simone, Justin's mother added with a wide smile. Defeaning applause rang in my ears as guests celebrated the momentous event. But everything came in a blur as the noise numbed my senses and blurred my vision. There goes the man who promised to wait for me. Now all smiling as he receives well wishes for his engagement to my stepsister. A woman who has stolen not only my father's affection but also of the people whom I thought cared for me. "Oops...sorry" I sloppily g
"I'm a waiter, Madame. I'm here to take all the empty glasses" The man politely responds. Contrary to his calmness earlier, he looks awkward at the moment. "A waiter?" "Hahaha" "What a shame" "A waiter? Hahaha" Abigail could hear the hushed laughter around while her gaze was still plastered o
After leaving the engagement party, with the handsome waiter in tow, I went straight inside one of the private lounges of the hotel. A lot of things are overwhelming my head. The moment we're inside, I shamelessly wrap my arms around his narrow waist like I've known him for a long time. I don't kn
"Abigail!?" Abby woke up with a start after the door violently burst open. Followed by a loud angry voice, thundering through the room. Sore and disoriented, she fought her heavy lids to open her eyes. And though with blurry vision, she saw her angry father standing at the door together with the
Seeing him in his birth suit almost gave her a heart attack. But he was unbothered as he flaunted his brawny physique in front of her. Yes, they spent the night together and did a lot of wonderful things under the sheet. But she has no recollection of any of it. All she had was traces on her body
After Lam's quick change, they grabbed a late breakfast while on the way to the Fuentabella residence. They've been so quiet since they left the hotel. He was busy on the road while she was so engrossed in observing him. Aside from a few weeks-old facial hair covering half of his face, his hair is
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
"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
