Chapter 35

"Hello!" I said on the line.

"Son, go home early because I have something important to tell you!" Mom's voice, laced with urgency, filled my ear.

"Tomorrow, because I have something important to attend to," I replied, my voice flat and devoid of emotion.

"Is that more important than what I have to say?" she challenged, her tone sharp with annoyance. I knew I couldn't avoid this conversation, but I was desperate to keep my focus on Rhian.

"Yes! So you can just tell me tomorrow. I'm leaving now."

I hung up, my eyes glued to Rhian as she pushed a cart overflowing with purchases towards the exit. My heart ached with a mixture of longing and dread.

I found myself getting into my car, but I didn’t start the engine right away. I watched as Rhian hailed a taxi, her face illuminated by the warm glow of the setting sun. The moment she disappeared from view, I slammed my foot on the gas, my mind consumed by a single thought: I had to know where she was going.

My instincts led me to t

    Chapter 36I didn't know where the old man had come from, but his words brought clarity to my thoughts and lightened my heart. I quickly got into my car and drove back the way I came.I glanced at my watch and realized it was almost 11 PM. I decided to head straight to the mansion, avoiding alcohol for the night so I could come up with a solid plan to win Rhian back and make us whole again as a couple. For now, I needed to go home to rest my mind and body.As I drove, I couldn't help but wonder where I had ended up. It seemed far from the city. Eventually, I spotted a store and stopped to ask for directions."Good evening, Aunt!" I greeted the store owner, who turned to me with a smile."Good evening to you too, Iho! You don’t seem to be from around here?" he replied."Ah, yes! I think I got lost. I just wanted to ask what place this is," I inquired."Ah, you're in Santa Clara, boy, in Bulacan," he answered."Is that so? Aunt, could you tell me how to get to the highway?" I asked.He

    Chapter 37A few moments later, Aunt came down with a helper."It's done, son!" she said to me. "Go to sleep so you can rest," she added."Thank you both, Aunt!" I said to her."You're welcome, son!" After she said that, I immediately went to my room. I just sighed at what my mother did.To get rid of the headache, I immediately went to the bathroom and took a bath to soothe my irritation with what my mother did.After taking a bath, I immediately got dressed and dried my hair with the towel I used to wipe my wet body. When it was dry, I immediately lay down and closed my eyes.I woke up suddenly when the sunlight hit my face, so I opened my eyes and realized that I woke up late, so I immediately got up and rolled towards the headboard of the bed and immediately looked at the wall clock to see what time it was."It's already ten (10) am!" I said to myself. So I immediately got up and went to the bathroom to do my morning routine.It didn't take long for me to finish my shower and dres

    Chapter 38Anita (Andrew's Mother) POVI didn't realize how much I had neglected my two children. It struck me now that I had been so caught up in my own issues that I failed to care for them properly.I walked to my room, feeling weak and defeated. It’s painful to acknowledge our shortcomings and have them thrown back at us by our own children.I don’t even remember how I made it to the room I shared with my late husband.As I entered, I saw a picture of us from three years ago, with Andrew at three years old and Camella at six. I picked it up and gently stroked the photograph; it was taken during our happy vacation in Italy. With each caress, tears streamed down my face.I couldn’t help but sob as I recalled how my husband loved and cared for me. He gave me everything I needed, yet I had become selfish.Because of my indulgence and gambling, I had forgotten to care for my two children and my beloved husband.“I’m so sorry, my love!

    Chapter 39 After getting dressed, I quickly left the mansion to see my grandchild. “Nelson!” I called to one of our drivers. “Drive me to the Suarez mansion!” “Yes, Madam!” he replied immediately. I got into the car, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. As we drove, I thought about how Rhian lived in the Suarez mansion. I wondered how my friend and Rhian knew each other. Then an idea struck me—I needed to buy a gift for my grandchild. “Nelson, let’s stop by the nearby mall. I just need to buy something!” I told him. “Yes, Madam!” he responded, stopping at the mall’s parking area. I quickly got out, instructing him to wait. “Just a moment!” I said, not waiting for his reply as I hurried inside. I didn’t waste any time and headed straight to the toy section. My eyes lit up when I spotted a large Hello Kitty. “This is perfect!” I murmured, picking it up. “I hope she likes it.” As I exited the mall, I spotted Nelson waiting by the car. He helped me inside, and we resume

    Chapter 40 I was exhausted from the photoshoot earlier. We finished late because a crowd of people swarmed the venue, as we were delayed in starting. When Manong and I arrived home, I saw a car pulling away from the gate. "Maybe it's a visitor for Mommy," I whispered, as the car stopped. I got out and thanked the driver. As I entered the mansion, I was met with silence. "Maybe they're all asleep, so they're not in the living room," I thought to myself. I decided to go up to my room to rest. "Tomorrow is Saturday, so I have some free time to take my daughter out," I thought as I walked towards my room. As soon as I entered, I turned on the air conditioner and placed my handbag on the sofa. Then, I went to the closet to get a change of clothes. After preparing my outfit, I rested for a while before going to the bathroom to freshen up. After a short while, I finished getting ready and changed into my clothes. I lay down on the bed. As I stared at the ceiling, my friend's advice ab

    Chapter 41 I was really confused by their behavior, and I didn’t know what to do. They embraced me tightly while crying. “W-why are you both crying? Is something bad happening?” I asked, bewildered, until my gaze fixed on the bed, and I furrowed my brow in confusion. ‘How did my necklace end up on Dad’s bed?’ that thought crossed my mind as I wondered. “N-nothing, my child! I-I'm just happy about what we found out!” Mommy said. “Oh! I thought something was wrong with you two. You scared me; I thought something bad happened!” I replied, wiping Mommy Matilda’s tears. “Dad! Are you okay?” I asked Dad since he was still crying while looking at me. “Y-yeah, don’t worry about me!” he said with a smile. A moment later, Dr. Cruise arrived, and he immediately examined Mommy, so I excused myself to prepare tea for the doctor. When I got to the kitchen, I quickly prepared the tea and took it upstairs to give to the doctor. While I was walking, I heard a vehicle pull up in front of the d

    Chapter 42 "Really?! Is she my grandmother?" Angie asked me. "Yes, baby, she is your Lola!" I replied to Angie, then turned back to Andrew’s mother. I could see the joy in her eyes at my words. I thought she would deny my confession, but instead, she broke down in tears and cried out, "MY GRANDDAUGHTER!" I didn’t know what I was feeling; it was as if my heart was being squeezed as I watched Andrew’s mother and my child hugging each other while crying. ‘Am I going too far in my quest for revenge? Have I kept my child from knowing her father and grandmother?’ I thought as I observed them. They continued to chat happily as if no one else was around, so I decided to leave and head to the kitchen, but Andrew’s mother immediately called out to me. “My dear, can I talk to you? Just for a moment, please!” she said, and I quickly nodded and went to the garden where it was just the two of us. “What do you want to say, Madam?” I addressed her as "Madam" because she hated being cal

    Chapter 43 "I'm sorry, Madam, but we have to leave because we have somewhere to go," my former mother said. "Just one question, Corazon!" Mommy Matilda replied. "Do you know Rhian?" "No!" "Yes!" We both said it at the same time, leaving Mommy puzzled by our contradictory answers. I was just as confused as to why it mattered whether we knew each other. “Wait, what’s the real answer?” Mommy turned to me, and I sighed heavily. “Yes, we know each other, Mommy!” I said. “They are the ones I referred to as my parents for a long time,” I added, noticing the anger rising in Mommy's eyes. “Alright, we’re leaving,” my former mother said hurriedly. They rushed out without glancing back at me. I quickly urged Mommy to head back to where our companions were waiting. The rest of our outing was joyful, especially for my child. Her beaming smile brought a smile to my face as I watched her. “You know, I’ve long dreamed of having a granddaughter from the Suarez lineage,” Andrew’s mother bega

You're learning so much," Angie said, hugging Gabriel tightly. "Thank you, Mommy. Thank you, Daddy," Gabriel smiled. As we chatted, we noticed the twins, Danae and Daniel, busy with their drawings. "Wow, those drawings are beautiful! What are they?" I asked, examining their work. "Mommy, Daddy, these are our drawings of the heroes we learned about in school," Danae said, showing off her artwork. "Very impressive! You’re so creative," Angie praised, gently ruffling their hair. After sharing our stories and admiring the drawings, we decided to prepare a special dinner for the family.

"First of all, we want to inform you that access to sensitive documents will now be limited to authorized personnel only. We also need to enhance the monitoring and reporting of activities in our system," I added, displaying the new policies on the projector. "Yes, Sir Rocky. We will follow the new policies. It’s really important to protect our documents," Mark, the head of the IT department, said. "Thank you, Mark. And we also want to let you know that our door is open for any questions or concerns you may have. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us," Angie said, looking at each person.

I need help with my project about heroes," Gabriel said, excitedly showing us his notes. "Sure, kiddo. We’ll help you," I replied, organizing the materials on the table. As we discussed the heroes of our country, I could feel Gabriel’s enthusiasm and passion for his project. "Mommy, who’s your favorite hero?" Gabriel asked, looking at me. "I have many favorite heroes, but one I truly admire is Jose Rizal for his intelligence and love for our country," I answered, smiling. "Wow, he’s great! What about Daddy? Who’s his favorite hero?" Gabriel asked, looking at Rocky. "Andrew Bonifacio, kiddo. Because of his bravery and determination to fight for our country’s freedom," Rocky replied, gently stroking Gabriel’s hair.

"Goodnight, Mommy. Goodnight, Daddy. We love you too," Danae and Daniel replied in unison, their eyes slowly closing. Our eldest son, Gabriel, followed us out of the room. We carefully exited so as not to wake his younger twin siblings. Once outside, Gabriel looked at us and smiled. "Mommy, Daddy, thank you for the story. It was so much fun," Gabriel said, holding my hand. "You're welcome, son. You know we love you very much," Angie said, hugging Gabriel. "Thank you, Mommy.

Now, she's back to her sweet voice and calm demeanor. "Love, thank you for understanding and supporting me," I said, looking at her. "I know the situation was difficult, but I'm glad we were able to fix it together." "Thank you too, Love. I don't know how I would have faced this without you," Angie replied, holding my hand. While we were together in the office, I felt the weight of the situation slowly lifting. I knew we still had a lot to do to ensure everything was safe and secure, but I was happy we were there for each other. "Love, we need to make sure this kind of incident doesn't happen again. We need to implement stricter security measures and strengthen communication with the staff," I said, looking at her. "You're right, Love.

"Arnold, I know your situation is tough right now. But I hope this becomes a lesson for you. Don’t let one mistake ruin your whole life," Rocky said, looking at Arnold. "Thank you, Rocky. I’ve learned my lesson. I hope you can forgive me," Arnold replied, clearly remorseful. "Arnold, I know what you're going through is difficult. But I want you to know we don’t intend to punish you. We just need to ensure our business and staff are safe," I said, trying to keep my voice calm. "I’m really sorry, Angie. I know what I did was wrong," Arnold said, nearly in tears.

We'll talk to him properly. We need to know the truth," I said, holding her hand. "I know, Love. But I can't help but get angry.

"Love, we're here. Let's be careful," I said, getting out of the car. We went to the unit listed on the paper. I knocked gently on the door. "Arnold Santos, are you there? It's us, Angie and Rocky. We need to talk to you," I said, waiting for a response from inside. After a while, the door opened, and Arnold came out. He was clearly surprised by our arrival.
