Over the last two weeks, they've shared passionate moments, experiencing strong desire and intimacy."Breakfast time," Marissa's voice carried through the house, catching Efrain's attention as he came down the stairs."You look stunning," he whispered, closing the gap between them in one step, enveloping her in an embrace, his lips finding the soft curve of her neck."Take a seat and join me for breakfast," she proposed, smiling warmly as she gestured towards the table.Efrain sat down, feeling grateful as he realized it had been a week since he last needed his crutches."I'll always be here, waiting for you, don't forget that," Marissa smiled."I'll never forget that a beauty like you is waiting for me," Efrain whispered, his hand caressing her cheek.Marissa smiled, recalling the time she asked Efrain about Zendaya's disappearance.

The door creaked open, and Efrain stepped into the dimly lit house, his footsteps echoing softly against the wooden floors. His eyes immediately found Valentina, sitting alone at the sofa, a half-empty glass of wine in hand. With a furrowed brow, he came up to her. "What's the matter?" he asked, worried."Ah, little brother," Valentina greeted him with a wry smile. Efrain sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "Please, Valentina, spare me the cryptic remarks. I'm short on time and patience.""Camila Guerra, your mother, has disappeared from the psychiatric facility,"Efrain's eyes widened in shock at Valentina's news. "Missing? But... but how is that even possible? I thought those places were supposed to be secure," he stammered. "The security team informed me yesterday. They conducted a search, but she's nowhere to be found. I knew you needed to be informed, so I tracked you down here. It wasn't difficult, because of your status. I didn't have your number, but I kn

Marissa felt a twinge in her chest as she took in his words, but she managed a delicate smile nonetheless. "I understand," she murmured, sounding a bit sad. "But let me assure you, there's never been anything between Demitrio and me. You, Efrain, are the only one who holds any claim over my body."Marissa started unbuttoning her shirt, the cloth giving way under her touch as she released it from her jeans and let it fall open, revealing her skin."Do you want me?" Her voice quivered slightly, carrying a raw desperation. She hoped her husky tone would stir thoughts of passion and intimacy in Efrain's mind.Efrain's response didn't come in words, but in actions. His lips ghosted over her forehead, initially leaving Marissa uncertain of his intentions. Yet, he continued, planting kisses along her cheekbone, teasing her earlobe, and tracing the line of her neck with his nose. As her head instinctively leaned into his touch, he gently cradled it between his hands.Marissa's fingers tighten

Marissa stood before the tall, ornate mirror, her reflection bathed in the soft glow of the dressing room lights. The wedding gown she wore enveloped her in a cascade of ivory silk and lace, a vision of bridal elegance she had once only dared to imagine. In her wildest dreams, she never envisioned herself as a bride, let alone a mother of two, preparing to wed the love of her life, Efrain Guerra. Stella, looking stunning as the maid of honor, gazed at Marissa with admiration. "Do you remember when I told you that one day you'd find an extraordinary man and walk down the aisle in a breathtaking gown, just like this?" she reminisced. Marissa's eyes flickered with uncertainty as she surveyed her reflection. "Do you believe it will all work out? That I can truly find happiness?" she confided.

Marissa sat in her bedroom, tears streaming down her face, when Juan entered with a tray. "Marissa, here's your dinner. You missed lunch with us," he said."I'm not hungry. I just want to be alone," Marissa replied."You know I never listen to you when it comes to taking care of yourself. That's why you're going to eat, and then we're going to talk," Juan insisted, his tone firm but compassionate.He placed the tray on the nightstand and offered his hand to help her sit on the bed. "So, what went down with Guerra?""He's aware of everything, maybe even more, and it's all twisted up thanks to Daniella. I don't know what she told him, but she mixes things up, making me feel insignificant. And maybe I made it worse because he proposed, and I turned him down.""Why? You love him, don't you?" Juan inquired."I do, so much that it's tearing me apart. I've fallen for him. I love that he's the one I love," Marissa confessed."Then why say no?" Juan pressed."Because I don't want to lose him,"

Daniella entered a room, with Efrain following closely behind. "I'm sorry for calling you here. I just couldn't stand the way your girlfriend was insinuating that you couldn't bring justice between me and Juan," she began, her tone apologetic."Just tell me what you want to say," Efrain urged, his expression unreadable."Efrain, amidst all the drama outside because of Marissa, I've made a decision. Even though Juan may be guilty, I... I've decided to no longer press charges. I can't see how Marissa was humiliating you because of her feelings," Daniella confessed."I can understand, Juan is her brother," Efrain acknowledged, his tone thoughtful."No, Marissa has been deceiving everyone all this time. To her, you're just an escape, a distraction from her intense feelings for him that have never changed. That's why she's causing a scene outside," Daniella asserted."I don't get what you're saying," Efrain replied, his confusion clear in his voice.Daniella walked to her wardrobe, retriev
