Years passed, days and months went by, and I became one of the most famous models in the world. Today, we are celebrating the birthday of my princess, the princess of our lives. Mommy Matilde named her. She is named Angie Suarez. At the age of 5, she has already achieved so much in school. She's intelligent, cheerful, kind, beautiful, and affectionate. She inherited her beauty from her father, not from me. I can't help but remember him. I am just grateful to the Almighty that I inherited my kindness and affection from him. Well, that was before. I will leave that in the past because Rhian is different now—no longer the one who was ridiculed and always wrong in the eyes of my former parents. I have long forgiven them, but their shattered love for me can never be restored. Then someone offered me a modeling contract for their clothing line. Even though their brand wasn't well-known, I accepted it immediately because it was my way of helping promote their creations. I’m not like other models who refuse to model for lower-class products just because they’ve become famous. I accepted two contracts: one for a new clothing line and the other for a perfume company. JACKSON'S COMPANIES The company belongs to my child’s father, Andrew Santorini Jackson. 'Wait for my return, because when I come back, I’ll make sure to have him chasing after me like a lovesick puppy,' I thought with a smile on my lips. "What? Are you ready to go back to the country you came from? Are you ready to meet Angie's father again?" asked my friend Eli. "Are you ready to get hurt again?" he added. "Someone offered me a contract, Eli, and I couldn't say no. He was one of my classmates in high school; even though we weren't close, he was kind to me," I explained. "Are you bringing Angie with you?" he asked. "And have you really moved on?" he added, raising an eyebrow. I smiled and chuckled softly at his question. "Yes! I've moved on, and yes! I want her to see the Philippines and how beautiful it is," I replied. "What else can I do? You’ve already made your decision, so I’ll just go with it," he said. "So, do your second parents know that you’re going back? And is the place you'll stay comfortable and safe?" he asked. I just nodded in response. "We don't have any issues with where we'll stay because we live in Mommy Matilde's mansion, and she has already helped both me and my child so much," I said. "And they know my decision and support the path I've chosen," I added. Flashback "If that's your decision, child, we will not stop you. We are happy with your choices," Dad said to me. "Thanks, Dad, Mom," I said with a smile. "But you have to follow what we want!" Mom said, making me a bit nervous. "We want you to live in the mansion and visit our business while you're there!" she added, and I sighed in relief. "But Mom, what if they don't let me in? They don't even know me, Mom, Dad!" I said to both of them. "Don't worry; we will take care of everything," Dad assured me, easing my worries. Present "Just be careful there, and by the time we come back, maybe our little Angie will have a sibling," I laughed at his joke. "Okay, bye! I have to pack important things and Angie's stuff," I said. "You're so mean to your manager," he teased, and I just laughed. "Okay, bye! Be careful on your trip. I'll join you once I finish cleaning up your mess here, just kidding!" he said. "I'll wait for you. Bye, Eliana," I said. After hanging up, I immediately started packing my things and Angie's things because we were leaving for the Philippines tomorrow morning. THE NEXT MORNING: This morning was our flight back to the Philippines, and my child was super excited. I could see the excitement in her eyes, making me smile at her joy. Eliana would follow us after sorting out her other schedules. "Yeahhh, we’re going to the Philippines, we’re going to the Philippines!" my child exclaimed while clutching her favorite stuffed toy, Hello Kitty. As we entered the airplane, she happily sang. Once the plane took off, I glanced at my child, who suddenly fell silent. I smiled at the sight; perhaps she was so excited that she got tired and fell asleep in her seat. Hours went by, and finally, we arrived in the country that motivated me to work hard in life. 'WELCOME TO PHILIPPINES AIRLINES, WE ARE HAPPY THAT YOU ARRIVED SAFELY IN THE COUNTRY.' The greeting for all of us made me wake my child to prepare for our exit. I could see the excitement in her eyes. "Are we here?" she asked me. "Yes! Baby, so let’s go?" I replied. She stood up immediately and slung her little backpack over her shoulder. Many people noticed her beauty. If someone looked at her, she would smile back immediately. Then I spotted our driver and smiled, heading in their direction.Kaugnay na kabanata

Chapter 6Andrew's POVI'm currently in my own office. After all this time searching for Rhian, I still haven't found her. Every private investigator I've hired has come up empty-handed. They say someone's blocking their investigations, preventing them from getting the information they need to locate Rhian."Is this the price I have to pay for what I did?" I ask myself. "If so, I hope we can at least talk and I can find out if our child is alive," I continue, questioning myself."Sh*t," I mutter angrily, throwing the glass of wine I'm holding. The glass shatters, wine spilling everywhere. I run my hand through my hair in frustration, angry at myself. I call the cleaning crew to clean up the broken glass.After they finish cleaning, I immediately send them away. Then, one of my friends calls, and I answer right away."Hello!" I answer, my voice lacking enthusiasm."I saw her!" he tells me, making my eyebrows furrow in confusion."Who?" I ask."F*ck Buddy, she was with a little girl, an

Chapter 7The next morning, I woke up in our mansion, not remembering how I got back. I brushed aside the confusion and went straight to the bathroom to start my morning routine.It didn't take long for me to finish showering.After my morning routine, I went out of my room to head to the kitchen. But in the middle of the stairs, my amazing mother scolded me."Good, you're finally awake!" she said. "What have you been up to, huh?" she added. I didn't answer, just continued walking."Andrew!" she called, but I ignored her. "I'm talking to you, don't be rude. Where were you last night? I'm trying to talk to you, so answer me!" she added, but I still ignored her.I was still angry at her for forcing my sister to marry a Mafia member. She lost a huge amount of money in a gambling game, a game that destroyed our family. Dad left because Mom was always at the casino. She took it to heart when she found out we lost over two billion at the casino, especially when she learned that my sister wa

Chapter 8I noticed what she said; it seemed she realized I wasn't comfortable being with them. Based on my observation, she was different from the two women who always flaunted their daughters. I smiled at her comment and excused myself before heading to the garden to answer my friend's call."Hello?!" I answered, and it was none other than Julius."Buddy, are you free right now?" he asked.I smiled because this was my chance to get away and avoid my mother. "Yeah! Why?" I replied."Come meet me at INDAY'S BAR; I don't have anyone with me right now," he said, sighing. It sounded like my friend had some problems, so I immediately asked."Do you have problems, Julius?" I inquired, but I only heard another sigh before he answered."Aish! It hurts, Buddy," he said, sounding like he was coming from a breakup."Okay, I'll come to you," I replied, then hung up.I returned to the dining room to politely excuse myself. Even though my relationship with my mother wasn't good, I still had some r

Chapter 9Rhian's POVAs I was getting ready for my meeting with Andrew, my daughter walked in, amazed at how I looked."OMG Mommy, you look so gorgeous and sexy! I wonder why so many men want to court you, even though you have a daughter," she said. I smiled at her words and immediately kissed her cheek, thanking her for the compliment."Ohhh! Thank you so much, my sweet and lovely baby Angie," I replied to my only daughter."Wait here, Mom! I have something to put in your hair," she said, hurrying off to her room. Though I was curious, I waited for her in my room.A moment later, she returned with a silver hairclip designed like a butterfly, adorned with diamonds in every detail."I made it," she said shyly. "I hope you like it, Mom."She placed it on one side of my hair. I was speechless from its beauty."This is lovely, my child," I finally managed to say, filled with admiration. For such a young age, she had created something so beautiful."Do you like it?" she asked, her face be

Chapter 10I looked at him and smiled as if I hadn't experienced the turmoil he put me through yesterday.'Yes, I've moved on, but the pain in my heart still hasn't healed. It's like a fragile thing that, once broken, is hard to put back together, with a scar etched into it,' I thought to myself while raising an eyebrow at him."Yes! Mr. Jackson?" I asked formally."A-ah, n-nothing," he stammered, making my eyebrow raise even higher at his reaction.But I quickly turned my attention to Eli, who was speaking and furrowing her brow."You two know each other?" Eliana, my manager, asked.I quickly responded to her question."Yeah!" I said, causing Andrew to look at me."Ohhhh! Can I know how you two met?" she asked again. I just smiled because I knew she was teasing me."I met him during a part-time job at a fast food restaurant," I replied."Rhian," he said, probably thinking I would deny where we first met.I smiled before continuing, "Where I fell but wasn’t caught," and I followed tha

A Familiar Face and a New OpportunityChapter 11"Excuse me, Miss! Are you looking for me?" A woman asked me, her voice familiar. I knew it was my former manager who had arrived.I was facing away from her, so I took a step back to get a better look. When I turned around, her eyes widened in disbelief, blinking rapidly as if she couldn't believe who she was seeing."Oh my, Rhian Suarez, is that really you?" she asked, still in shock."Yes, Ma'am Mira, how are you?" I replied with a smile, my voice warm."It's you! You're so beautiful now, and so famous. You know, I have every magazine that features you," she said, her voice filled with pride. "In fact, you're a big fan of my son, Sebastian. Remember him? He was in your batch at the university. You know, he's been crushing on you for a long time, but he's just too shy. Even though you have your own child now, he still talks about you all the time," she added, making me blush at her words."Thank you," was all I could manage to say.

Chapter 12It was Tuesday, my first day at Jackson Company, where I would be modeling for their perfume.As I was getting ready, my daughter came in, wanting to tell me something.“Mom!” she said. Even though she was only 5 years old, she spoke like an adult, unlike other children her age who still stuttered.“Yes! What does my dearest baby want?” I asked her.“Can I come with you?” she asked, making me pause what I was doing. “I promise I’ll behave, and I want to watch you work!” she added, making me sigh. “Please, Mom!”I had no choice but to agree.“Okay, okay! But promise is promise, okay!” I told her. “You have to keep your word.”“Yay!” she exclaimed, then quickly ran off to her room.I continued looking for something to wear. I finally settled on a summer dress with a sunflower pattern, yellow and blue, which made me smile. I got dressed quickly and waited for my daughter on the sofa. A few moments later, she came out with a smile on her face, wearing a dress just like mine. We

Chapter 13While I was in the middle of my shots, my thoughts kept drifting to my daughter, who was with Andrew's secretary.I had changed my outfit six times, and they were taking photos of me from different angles. I made sure to pose well because I didn’t want to mess up right from the start.“Okay, just one last picture so our model can take a break,” said the photographer, who was snapping my photos.I posed with a captivating smile.“Wow, nice one! That’s the way to attract the audience,” he said while capturing the moment.After that, my colleagues started to applaud.“Our next pictures need to be well-composed, and remember, Ms. Rhian, you’re not alone here. You have a partner, and I hope you two work well together,” he added. “Okay, take a break while we review the shots we’ve taken.”I quickly headed to a chair where my things were and called my daughter. As I retrieved my phone, I dialed her number. After just a few rings, she answered, and I couldn’t help but smile.“Hello

Chapter 122 "About the ancient artifacts, Daddy. There are so many interesting things and stories about our history," Gabriel replied, his eyes shining. "That's great! We’re proud of you, kid. 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. "Come on, kids, let’s cook your favorite meal," Angie suggested as she gathered the ingredients in the kitchen. "Yay! Spaghetti and fried chicken!" the twins cheered, helping with the preparations.

After breakfast, we took the children to school and Angie and I went to the office. "Love, are you ready for our meetings today?" I asked Angie while driving. "Yes, Love. We need to make sure everything is in order and there will be no problems," Angie replied, looking at her notes. When we arrived at the office, Mia greeted us. "Good morning, Ma'am Angie, Sir Rocky. The conference room is ready for our meeting," Mia said, arranging the documents. "Thank you, Mia. Let's go, Love. Let's get this day started," I said, leading Angie to the conference room.

Thank you for coming. We need to discuss the new security measures we will be implementing," Angie began, looking at the staff. "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.

"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. "Arnold, what’s important now is that you’ve learned your lesson. I hope next time, you’ll just ask for help. We are willing to assist you as much as we can," I said, holding his hand.

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. Those documents are so important," Angie replied, trying to calm herself. When we arrived at the address, we saw a small apartment building. I took a deep breath and patted Angie's shoulder. "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. "What are you doing here?" he asked, hesitant. "Arnold, we need to talk. Some important documents are missing from the office, and we saw
