Nobody is innocent; everyone is guilty of something. "I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS, JULIAN!" Jennifer Fernandez's scandalized voice resonated. "My decision is final. I'm dropping the custody case." Julian stood in front of his parents. His father sitting imposingly and staring at him with a gentle smile but his mother stood up and seethed. "I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU!" Jennifer snapped and turned to her husband. "You better talk some sense to your son!" Then she stalked off leaving the father and son. His father turned to him. "Are you really sure about that, son?" Julian sat across his father and nodded. "Every decision I make is going to provoke Sandra and it's going to affect Faye in the end. I don't want that for my daughter, as much as I want to have her live with us, I just can't be selfish and take her permanently away from her mother. Faye's too young. Besides, it's not like Sandra's denying me of Faye's company. In fact, Sandra and I may have different way of upbringing Faye, she's t

Flashback "The three of us is honestly like a very small gang." Catherine said smugly. "I'm the bad bitch and Sandra's like my conscience and Danial's our boss or we could be America's rich kids in London." "Small gang? Boss? Bad bitch? That sounded so Neanderthal Catlhlyn." Sandra shook her head disapprovingly. "Well? What do you want us to be called? Danial's angels?" Catherine shuddered. Danial laughed. "Why are you even thinking about what people are going to call us three?" Catherine flipped her hair. "Well, people in the shcool can't keep quiet, I just heard some girls calling Sandra and I as 'Danial's tails'. If they only knew that Danial's the one that keeps on following us everywhere like our shadow." Danial cringed, he pulled Catherine's bangs earning a loud shriek and a hard slap in the arm, Sandra giggled. "Don't worry, Cathlyn just tell me who those girls are and I'll put them into their right places." Catherine rolled her eyes then she gigled. "I already taught th

‘You don't know anything about her.‘ Shawn said quietly but Julian heard it quite clearly. ‘And you do?’Shawn leveled his gaze to his cousin. ‘I've seen Sandra do thing you can't even imagine she's capable of. I've seen her rise to her feet on her own when her world was collapsing right before her eyes. She's not a fragile woman; in fact she's too strong for her own good. A little backfire from her actions wouldn't affect a single trouble, she always make sure she'll get what she wants.' Shawn expression darkens and for a moment he looked like he was going to punch Julian. ‘She doesn't have any sob story hidden somewhere her past that you can use against her. Keep the drama to yourself, get pver it and leave her alone. Don't ask anyhting about her bacause quite frankly, I don't think you can handle one truth.’Julian stared longer at Shawn until his eyes widen. ‘Are you in love with her?’Shawn shook his head exasperatingly then turned around tp walk away but the harsh force of Ju

It won't be a walk of shame if you looked good. -Julian and along with Isaac stood with Faye holding her father's hand, people surrounded them but Faye seems to take the spotlight away from her own daddy and uncle. There were little kids as well with only the very few people they invited for the thought of it as an intimate party with the children, Julian had personally made it to the point that the media cannot know about the full details of the party for the protection of the kids, as much as he knew that they'll soon be under the spotlight, Julian wanted them to have the freedom and not feel anxious. One thing's that he greatly treasures Faye's protection and privacy. Julian sighed and shook his head, Faye tugged into his hand and he look down. "Da-daddy can F-Faye go p-play?" She pointed to her cousins and other kids. One of her cousin's Rosie ran towards her and tugged on Faye's hand. "Let's go to the garden we're playing hide and seek there!" "Rosie, behave alright?" Isaac

"Are you sure about this, Julian?" James asked, he smiled. "You'll have to talk to Sandra about this first." Julian nodded. "I know, I think I'll just have to wait for the perfect timing so I can tell her." Isaac chuckled. "Perfect timing? I don't think you'll know with Sandra." Julian chuckled and shrugged. "I've to give it try." "Well after what happened to the party... I don't think one of these days is any a perfect timing. How pissed was Sandra that Sophie appeared uninvited?" "She was really good in covering it up with her sweet smiles." Julian grunted. "But you know how she is." "Man." James leaned back to his seat. "How's Sophie by the way? Catherine pretty much ruined her in a few words." "She was brokenhearted." Julian scowled. "There's no need to talk to Catherine to apologize to Sophie, knowing her it'll only make her go mad and humiliate Sophie evey chance she could get." James shrugged. "It's not like Catherine feels sorry anyway." He grinned sheepishly when Juli

In a world where supremacy and fame makes the world go round, where money's nothing but mere paper, where beauty's equivalent to power and where everyone seems to be too hungry fighting for the top spot. Only few were leading the horde. Julian Fernandez is one of the few, he sits on his throne and he's his own king. He may be powerful and sly when pushed but mostly he goes to nobility. He's one who had his full of fun in his younger days and tried to be a better person, a better man as he grow and learn. "We all carry these things inside that no one else can see. They hold us down like anchors at the sea." He told her softly, comfortingly. His plam warm against her skin, hand rubbing her back soothingly."I may not know you like Shawn or anyone who'd been with you from the beginning." He continued quietly. "You may say I know nothing about you... maybe you're right but I know that, you didn't need to understand the meaning of life; it was enough to find someone who did, no?" He res

"Julian, you know I've no plans of working here." Shawn scowled. Julian sighed loudly as he rounded his desk and sat on his leather chair. "I don't understand, it's always been in our family's history that Fernandez men are going to be holding the 3 highest positions in the Empire. Look, I don't mind holding the position for you but the position of presidency cannot be vacant for few more years. As of now, Isaac and I are covering the Presidency job. Isaac wouldn't accept the position and father's not letting me to put someone else even that isn't you." Julian clenched. "It's not like you're doing something in your life anyway!" Shawn leaned back on his sit. "I really have no intentions of working or continuing the Fernandez Legacy, the family has you to do that. I mean that's why you exist... to continue the family's legacy!" To Julian's glower, Shawn chuckled and stared to him sheepishly. "I'm sorry, I'm putting so much work into your hands but I'm seriously not ready yet." His

Hannah blinked to Faye as she combs her niece's hair. "So you mean, you were crying while calling your daddy?" Faye pouted while nodding; Mr. Parker had made her mommy sick once again. He was so mean and scary. Her mommy though told her not to tell anyone, especially her daddy. Faye was left confused. Why can't her daddy know but Uncle Shawn can? Exactly why Faye aks her mommy just that but her mommy just pinched her cheeks and told her Uncle Shawn was different. Faye wonders how different her Uncle Shawn and daddy are? "Rosie, don't put your fist inside Jolie's mouth...!" Her Uncle Isaac reprimanded. Faye blinked down to her cousin who playing with Jolie. Her cousin Rosie was sitting on the grass playing with Jolie. Her daddy was somewhere inside the house with her grandpa Fernandez. While Faye was in the playground, sitting on her Auntie Hannah's lap and getting her hair done. She likes her Auntie Hannah so much but not very much like how she likes her own mommy. Isaac turn

“If you want me to be yours, you got to let me have you too..." He murmured softly against her ear. Julian moved closer to her removing his coat as he did. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her with all of the passion then he had. Her hands ran through his soft hair, her breasts were crushed against his hard chest and their mouth began to devour each other. Heart thudding Julian pulled back, looking into the dark eyes of a woman who knew what she wanted. His heart ached for her beauty. Sandra's hands pulled his polo shirt up, releasing it while she pushed it up and then over his head. Julian groaned. He had to feel her skin now. He put his arms around her again, had the zipper of her dress down and had the top pat pool over her tiny waist; he fumbled with the clasp of her bra until it finally undid. Sandra's breathing came faster as he lowered the first one strap and then another. Perfect, pale globes with nipples the same rose color as her lips greeted him. She shivered

Sophie stared down at her plate, her friend had reserved a dinner for the two of them tonight but her friend was stuck in traffic and he arrived first. Everyone was eyeing her the moment she entered. There was unpleasant and not so subtle whispers about her. “It's that bitch who slept with Shawn." Someone snipped. “I don't even want to be anywhere near here." Another one harshly commented. “That's Sophie Torres, right?" Someone snorted. “Look at her, she looks pathetic. Serves her right for crossing Catherine Hart and Sandra." Her tears fell as she looked down into her empty plate. She doesn't even know what she's crying for... her heart? Or her future? Or the hates she's getting? Nothing ever goes right and sometimes it just bundles up so much... it sinks deeper into her skin. God, it hurts so much. “Excuse me? Miss Sophie Torres?" She looked up to the General Manager. “Yes?" “It seems like your friend couldn't make it. We advise you to leave." She blinked. “Wha–

“Selflessness is selfish." When Shawn just started to her, Catherine explained. “The reason you should do things for other people alone is selfish. Whatever your reason is, it's a choice... There's no difference between selfish and selfless if you understand how the world works. We're all tied together. We live in an interdependent world, Shawn...” Shawn smiled. “You sounded like Sandra for a moment there.... it sounds like something she'd say.” Catherine shrugged. “It is how it is." Shawn watched her for a moment and when he spoke, his voice was controlled and held finality and firm on his voice. “I realized that... there seemed to be three choices, to give you trying to love, to stop being selfish, or to learn to love a person while continuing to be selfish." Catherine smirked. “Where is this coming from? That sounded very... complicated.” He smiled. “As mind boggling as the words itself, isn't it?" He shrugged then stared into her with a smile. “Catherine, I hope you

“YOU ARE SUCH A SHAME IN THIS FAMILY!" Julian stilled and his head snapped towards the direction of the screaming voice, his brows furrowed. “IS THIS ALL YOU CAN DO?! YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER ARE JUST THE SAME! FAILURES!" Julian's eyes widen and walked towards that angry voice Julian so well know and despised. That Old man Parker. Julian turned into the corner and paused. Sandra and Mr. Parker stood face to face with the old man screaming profanities to her while Sandra wore an empty expression almost making her beautiful face look of a doll's. He couldn't take the verbal abuse she was getting from her very own father. The first time he is witnessing this and he was already raging in anger. He glared to Sandra though. Why wasn't she fighting back? She should claw her father's eyes out. Jesus, how long had this been going on? “What's going on here?" Both Mr. Parker and Sandra turned to him, Sandra smiled but Mr. Parker fumed in anger. Julian quietly walked towards them. “Wha

FLASHBACK... - Her imposing father stared down into her, his eyes dropping into her bandaged hand for a moment. ‘How's your hand?’ Sandra looked down into her hand too and smiled at him. ‘It's nothing to worry about.’ His eyes narrowed to her response. When he took a step forward to her she didn't cower, she just met his eyes unwaveringly. ‘Do you understand now how this people you call your friends can hurt you? It is always the closest ones who have the power of leaving the deepest scars in your heart.' ‘I know, daddy.' The corners of her lips curled up in a wry smiled. ‘I learned the hard way, as they say it all starts at home, considering I have no home in the first place. But you and mother had never been interested in me... the rest didn't hurt me at all. I'm used to it...’ She smiled blandly. ‘It's what happens when you keep on hurting... you get used to it.’ Mr. Parker's hand rose to touch her but had stopped himself, he dropped his hand on his side. ‘I am not

“What is that thing?" Julian chuckled. “It's Godzilla." “No wonder Faye can't watch this movie.. that thing is hideous." He grinned, he caressed her hair and stared into her face. “That is your first time watching this? I grew up loving all the franchise of the movie..." “I just hated seeing ugly things." Julian picked a slice of apple and took a bite. Sandra pecked on his lips, tasting the apple juice. “Yum.” Julian frowned into the plate. “Sandra, why don't you ever eat any other fruits?" He picked the strawberry. “Eat this." She widen her eyes. “No." “But why?" Julian dipped the strawberry to the cream and took a bite, he tried to feed it to her. “It's tasty. I promise." She made a face while shaking her head. Julian sighed as he put a hand on the back of her head. “Taste it." The gently he pulled her face to him and kissed her mouth. She pulled away first, she grimaced. “Oh God, you do that again and I'm slapping you." He grinned. “Come on, let's watch this s

Julian Fernandez. A man that breathes money, with commanding good looks, with such a smart brain, mixed with integrity and principle plus a very good heart. He screams perfection and for the majority a man like that is total package and a must have. Permanently. Julian is a sucker for goodness despite and in spite of everything. He believes even the men with no hearts a.k.a serial killers has a little goodness in them, somewhere in their darkest soul. See, a little smile, a little goodness and Julian is guaranteed to fall straight. He isn't gullible and not stupid, it's just that despite all his roughness lays a good and loving heart. Something Sandra hated the most. A good heart. A good soul. She terribly wanted to believe that good people don't exist but there goes the father of her child. A living proof that God did not forget to create good people. A walking and talking heart. Fuck him. Oh, yeah. She'll definitely will. She mused. “In a world built on struggles y

“You should eat, even a little Sophie..." Her friend told her gently. When Sophie didn't respond and merely stared in her window, her friend sighed. “Looks, it's not the end of the world yet. I know its hard, I know it hurts but you have to move on, girl.” “If I tell you I dated Julian Fernandez... will you believe me?" Her friend blinked in surprise. “Sophie..." She held her hand and gave it a comforting squeeze. A bitter smile crept on Sophie's face. “We dated for almost 2 years in secrecy, I met him in Hannah's party... he was a true gentleman and had that sweet smile... but you know what he did? He hurt me and now he's all over the place with that bitch Sandra and his abnormal kid clinging on his arm." Her friend sighed deeply. “Sophie... please eat a little more, you're losing a lot of weight. Get some sun too, come on let's stroll out together." Sophie chuckled amusedly. “You don't believe me, don't you? I thought so too. I was a kept woman." “Sophie, you life is n

“You're the president of the parents committee in Faye's school?" He glared to her. “The ladies thought it would be cool to have me as the president." Sandra laughed. After his called to her, she had been amused hearing that cute confession and decide to agree to attend in behalf of him. “That is the cutest thing I heard. Julian Fernandez, CEO of Fernandez Empire and the President of the parents committee in a Kindergarten level. I don't know which one is more tiring." He cringed, massaging his nape. “I knew I shouldn't have attended that invitation myself. When I arrived there, I discovered I was the only male specie around and the women. Jesus, you'd think they weren't married." Sandra laughed heartily, making him smile. “Hey, Sandra?" She stared at him, he stared at her in wonder. “I told earlier that I missed you... did you..." He cleared his throat. “Did you... miss me today?" The two of them was sitting on his couch, some movie was playing in the flat screen but Fa
