"YOU'RE crying?"Tallulah turned to the man who stood by her side as she stood on the terrace of the mansion and cried because of Gael. Serum exposed himself to her with his hand outstretched with a handkerchief.She immediately avoided and bowed slightly. "I'm fine, Serum," she said casually and wiped the tears from her cheeks."Ok? But you don't look ok, Tali. Remember what I've said, I'm only here to hear your rant and sentiments. Is it because of Gael?" He sighed and faced her.She was surprised when he grabbed her shoulder and gently touched her. He slowly wiped her cheek with his handkerchief. She was stunned and felt lost.She pulled back a little and couldn't look at the young man. "I'm fine, Serum. Thank you!" She just looked at the vast sky full of stars."Why are you putting up with Gael's behavior? Why are you still here to take care of him even he's always mad at you? You can find another job. If you're tired of his behavior, you can quit, you can leave," he said, it was
"HI, Gael," Tallulah Lopez shyly greeted the young man Gael Ramirez, a very handsome man that all the women she knew were attracted to him because of his very muscular body and his thick eyebrows so how could she not like him too?Gael slowly faced her but instead of a smile leaving his handsome face, he just raised his eyebrows and seemed to be disappointed to see her.He turned around as if looking for someone but he didn't see what he's looking for because she left Brielle and Kendric who were there at the far table from where they were. She did that on purpose because she thought this was the right time to confess to Gael and express her feelings for him. They are currently at Brielle's party because it's her 18th birthday. There were many people around and loud music was heard."Can we talk, Gael?" She asked, almost stammering, the smile never disappearing from his lips.He slightly tilted his head and showed her his lack of interest in her. "No," he answered without emotion."B-
"HUH? Are you crazy, Tali? Are you that desperate for Gael to do what you're planning?" Brielle's shocked reaction when Tallulah said that she was ready to give herself to Gael just to get him.She bowed. She didn't know if she was doing the right thing but she couldn't think of any other way to keep him from leaving. "But he's leaving, Brielle? He will leave me! How will I be when he disappears? I don't know how I'll be when he's completely gone," she said crying again because she was just thinking that Gael would leave her, she felt she would go crazy.Brielle touched her forehead. It's a good thing they were in the girl's room because if Kendric had heard what she said, he might get mad at her."My God, Tali! You're out of your mind and I won't be surprised if one day Gael suddenly disappears because you kidnap him," she said, shaking her head. "Can you please think before you decide, Tali because you don't know what can happen. He hates you!""I don't care if he hates me, Brielle
TALLULAH moved gently from her bed. She even winced when she felt the pain between her thighs. She also directly felt the cold air on her body.When she opened her eyes, the bright surroundings greeted her, it was a sign that the sun was high. She was just as surprised when she noticed that she was naked and she had leaned on a firm arm while a muscular arm was hugging her.She froze as she remembered what she had done last night. She slapped her forehead and bit her bottom lip. She suddenly realized what she had done. She slowly faced Gael and revealed his handsome face to her even though he was asleep. She felt the warmth of his body hugging her."What did you do, Tali?" She asked herself confusedly. How could she face Gael when she had given up her virginity just to get him?She moved slowly. She still has a chance to escape the shame she did. The alcohol had hit Gael hard last night and if he woke up without her, he wouldn't think anything had happened to them.She slowly removed
"WHETHER you like it or not, Gael, you should take your responsibility to my daughter," Gilberto said gently but firmly to Gael while facing him and Tallulah's family."Gilberto is right, Gael, you are not a child anymore, so you know the responsibility and the consequence of your actions. You're matured enough to understand everything," her mother, Caroline, seconded."But Uncle, I didn't do anything. I don't know what happened last night but I know I didn't do anything to her and I won't do anything to your daughter. Even if she undresses in front of me, I won't do anything," Gael returned as his palms intertwined. There is a trace of frustration on his face. "One more thing, I don't love your daughter, I treat her like a sister," he added.The couple looked at each other as Tallulah kept her head down and played with her own hands. She was afraid that her parents might not be able to do anything and Gael would leave her completely."I-I wasn't drunk that night Gael so I know someth
"WHY didn't Gael get me pregnant yet? I don't want him to lose anything and be forced to marry me—ouch!" Tallulah felt her neck hit by Brielle's hand while she looked at her evilly."Are you really crazy, Tali? Seriously, you want Gael to get you pregnant." She just needs to slap her to wake her up to the truth. "Remember, we are still studying and so is Gael, he is graduating this year and all his dreams will be destroyed when you get pregnant," she said.She snorted and gently rubbed her head. "I don't care, Brielle, because my family can keep us alive, right? He can inherit Dad's company because he's my husband, so we don't have to dream because I, Gael, only have my dream," she said happily.Brielle shook her head. "Do you hear what you're saying, Tali? My god! I'm going crazy!" She said abruptly and walked towards her car. Because their class has just finished and they are going home.She just laughed and followed her friend but she also stopped when she saw Gael outside the gate
"Did you bring what I bought you, Brielle?" Tallulah asked in a whisper when her friend entered her room. Because she sent her there to buy her a pregnancy test to confirm why she was always nauseous and weak.Brielle nodded. "I don't know what to do with you, Tali! My God! I'm the one who's nervous about what you're doing. What if you're really pregnant? What's your life like, you're too young to be a mother, you don't even know anything in childcare. How are you studying?" She gave her the Pregnancy Test and she immediately took it.She looked at her friend. "Don't overreact, ok? Even if I'm pregnant, it's not good because I can use the child to get Gael to marry me. Besides, motherhood has been studied, right? Excitement and joy spread among her smiles. "I can't wait to marry him, Brielle because since then, that has been my only dream. I want to be Mrs. Ramirez."Brielle narrowed her eyes on her. She inhaled. "You know if you weren't feeling bad, I would have hit you because of yo
"WHY did you call me, Uncle?" Gael broke the silence between them all as they sat on the sofa in the living room. Neither one wanted to say a word while Tallulah was very nervous about what was going to happen.Gilberto smiled and couldn't look at Gael because he knew him and his life was full of dreams and he didn't want to ruin that. "H-hijo, I'm sorry for suddenly summoning you but we need to discuss important matters," he began. Gilberto smiled at him. "Gael, I've known you for a long time and I know all your dreams in life and your goodness." He stopped for a moment. "And I always support you whatever you want to do."Tallulah looked up at Gael and saw that he was confused by what her father said. She and his mother were quiet.Gael smiled hesitantly. "Thank you, Uncle, but why are you telling me this?"Gilberto slightly looked away and turned to his daughter but he immediately looked at the person in front of him. "And...you also know my daughter Tallulah, she's spoiled but she'
"YOU'RE crying?"Tallulah turned to the man who stood by her side as she stood on the terrace of the mansion and cried because of Gael. Serum exposed himself to her with his hand outstretched with a handkerchief.She immediately avoided and bowed slightly. "I'm fine, Serum," she said casually and wiped the tears from her cheeks."Ok? But you don't look ok, Tali. Remember what I've said, I'm only here to hear your rant and sentiments. Is it because of Gael?" He sighed and faced her.She was surprised when he grabbed her shoulder and gently touched her. He slowly wiped her cheek with his handkerchief.

"WHAT is your plan, Sir Gael now that Tali knows that you know her?" Hiro asked him as he stood and faced the veranda of his room while holding his stick to guide him as he walked.His face had no emotion. "It's simple, I will make her suffer. I will repeatedly remind her that she is the cause of all this and I will not give her the peace she is looking for." He smirked. "She ruined my life and I will do the same to her.""We both know that you and Tali have a son, Sir Gael. What about him? What about your son, he can be affected by what you do," said Hiro who seemed to disagree with what he wanted to do.He was stunned. Because of the anger he feels towards Tallulah, he forgets that he actually has a child with the girl. Despite the hatred he has, he doesn't reject the child who was the result of everything Tallulah did before. He was excited to see and hug him because he knew that despite everything, the boy was still his son."He doesn't sympathize with my anger, Hiro. That's why I
Tallulah cupped her forehead and looked at her mother indicating that she should take Callum to her room first which she got what she meant."Let's go to your room, Callum," Caroline said and led the surprised child. She looked at them sadly.When they disappeared, she faced Kendric with a confused look on her face. She doesn't know what she should do when the only thing she knows is that she has to pay for everything she did before."K-Kendric, I'm sorry!" tears fell in his eyes because she knew she would hurt him which he didn't deserve."Why are you saying sorry, Talu?" he asked in confusion with a hint of nervousness.She sighed and stared at her boyfriend. "I can't do anything else, Kendric, but to accept and pay for my mistake at the hands of Gael. I'm sorry because...I can't escape the past that I'm trying to forget."Kendric's brow furrowed and he smiled hesitantly as the fear of what she said was obvious. "I-I don't understand, Talu. W-what is Gael's hand to pay for? E-Everyt
Gael smiled when he heard Tallulah call his name. He was no longer surprised and only gave her a meaningful look."I know it's you, Tallulah Lopez! I won't ever forget you and all the things you've done to me." His serious face was replaced by anger and hatred. It was sharp that gave her fear. "The pretending is over, Tallulah because even if I don't see you and even if you don't introduce yourself to me, I know you." He took a breath and smiled sarcastically. "Do you think I can't recognize you? I can't forget you because you're the reason for all of this!" he said emphatically, teeth chattering.She held tightly to the hem of her clothes. She was enveloped in nervousness and fear of what Gael could do to her. She wasn't surprised by his confession because that was what she expected but his anger, she couldn't run away anymore.She was stunned and did not immediately answer. She swallowed. "Gael! I'm sorry!" Tears fell from her eyes because of what she's feeling. She knows the mistak
"TALI," she heard her mother call her as she sat quietly in the living room of the house. It's late at night but she still can't sleep because everything Kendric's mother says keeps messing with her mind. She turned to Caroline and smiled. "Why are you still awake?" She bent down and gently caressed her folded arm. "I'm not sleepy yet, Mom," she reasoned.She came to her and sat next to her. She sighed. "Is it because of Kendric's family? You can't hide your feelings from me, because what you feel is the same for me. Everything changed not only in the life we have, but also in the someone who was our friend before," Caroline sadly confessed.She let out a breath and looked at her sadly. "Mom, is everything that I, our family is going through because of the mistake I made before?" Her eyes watered and she tilted her head slightly. "I'm sorry, Mom! If all this is my karma, if I'm the reason, I hope I'm the only one who is suffering now." She couldn't stop the tears from falling.Carol
Tallulah wasn't immediately moved by Kendric's questions to her. She feels mixed emotions. She is thrilled with the effort he made for his proposal even though he knows she lied to him.Is she ready to accept his proposal to be his wife and be with him for the rest of her life? Is this the right time?She closed her mouth and swallowed. She looked at Kendric who was still kneeling in front of her holding a box with a ring in it. Many people are whispering in her surroundings and she doesn't know why she has to think of Gael in her decision."Yes! Yes!" shouted the teachers and parents who were there. There is a trace of excitement on their faces. Who wouldn't be thrilled by what Kendric did? Apart from this handsome man, his love can also be seen through his actions."Talu, I'm happy every day that I'm with you, that you're here by my side and I don't see myself feeling that with another woman. I don't want to get married if it's not you," he said sweetly. "I hope you love me enough t
"IT'S GAEL. I know Gael is the man you take care of in that mansion."Tallulah was stunned by what Kendric said. How did he know about that? Her mouth fell open. Her chest felt heavy because of the fact that she had lied to Kendric. She cheated on him and wasn't honest and she wasn't going to deny that to him."How—"He took the cellphone from his pocket and showed her something. "I saw his picture," he said.She was surprised to see the picture taken in the living room of the mansion. She forgot that Gael had pictures displayed there. "I waited for you to tell me about your work, Talu. I waited because I trusted you b-but...but you tried to hide the truth from me and I couldn't help but think," he said, full of resentment and pain.She bowed down with tears in her eyes. She knew what she did was wrong but she had no other choice because she knew Kendric would stop her if she told him about that."K-Kendric, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Shelooked up. "I-I don't intend to hurt you. I have
"MOM!" Callum greeted Tallulah full of excitement when he entered the house. It was past eight in the evening but he still waited for her because he knew she was coming home. She greeted him with a tight hug full of excitement and love."I miss you so much, Callum!" She closed her eyes to feel her son's hug. "How are you? Didn't you be stubborn to your Grandpa and Grandma?" She asked after hugging him.He nodded kindly. "I'm being kind to them, mom," he replied confidently.She smiled. She gently ruffled his hair. "My Callum is very good, he really looks like a grown man.”He snorts. "Mom, I'm still young, I still want to play," he said. “I don't want to be a grown man yet because I hear from you and I see how difficult it is to be an adult. I want to enjoy my childhood," he said happily.She frowned. At his young age, he has already thought about those things.Kendric came up behind her. He picked her up at the Lopez mansion.He laughed and gently ruffled the boy's hair. "Being an ad
Tallulah went down the living room silently while Gael rested in his room. Even though she wanted to hit him for his insolence, she couldn't because he was still her boss."Hello Jo, Mary," she greeted the two helpers in the kitchen. The other two maids were busy cleaning outside.They smile. "If you're here to help us, you don't have to do it, we can handle it," Jo said to her immediately.She scratched her forehead because they seemed to have guessed what she would do. "By the way, isn't your son who came yesterday?" Mary was curious about the boy.Her face became serious and she slowly nodded. "Oh yes.""Your husband is handsome, isn't he," said Jo, seeming to be thrilled.She smiled hesitantly. "Oh no! Kendric is not my husband yet, he is just my boyfriend," she explained."Is that so? But you know, your son is very cute. I remember Sir Gael from when he was young because he used to look like that, so cute. Your son does look like Sir Gael," said Mary who witnessed Gael's growth
