While having lunch, Marty observed Cassandra avoiding eye contact with him. After eating, Marty went to the patio and looked at the photo album that is still on top of the table. He had the intuition that Cassandra's present condition had something to do with the pictures.
He took the photo album that is on top and flipped through it. He saw his photos with his ex - fiancee. He gritted his teeth because of seething anger. Why was his photo with his ex - fiancee still kept? He called a maid and instructed her to burn the photos of him and his ex - fiancee.
Memories of the past crossed his mind, all the pain he felt became fresh again. It is like peeling the scab from a wound that is starting to heal. He feels like his heart is going to explode at any moment. Marty closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
“You’re having doubts about me, aren’t you? "Marty seemed hurt. “I.. I'm afraid of losing you, babe" Cassandra stifles her tears. “Babe, trust me. Breaking your heart is the last thing I want. ” Marty took a deep breath. He couldn’t blame Cassandra for being apprehensive considering his skirt chasing history. “I know where your fear is coming from. It’s my reputation as a notorious playboy, isn’t it?” Cassandra nodded, but refrained from looking at Marty. “Babe, I have changed since I met you. Take my word for it, please.". Cassandra leaned her head on Marty’s shoulder. "Babe, I trust yo
Staring at Marty's clothes hanging in the wardrobe next to her clothes, joy fills Cassandra's heart by the fact that she will be with Marty every day. She couldn’t resist the urge to clap seeing hers and Marty’s shoes are on the shoe rack. It was only two days ago that she wished them to become couples and now it has become real. “Ahem” Marty cleared his throat. Cassandra was unaware that Marty was watching her. Cassandra's heart thuds at her rib cage threatening to jump out of her chest at the sight of Marty. A towel wrapped around Marty's waist, his chiseled torso glistening with droplets of water dripping from his hair onto his body. In her entire life, it is the first time she looks at a man's body which evokes an unusual reaction in her body. She averted her gaze and scurried to the bathroom. She closed the door and propped on it. Her breathing was heavy and her face felt hot. She took a shower and did her evening skin care routine. After a while, she donned her pajamas and
“Babe, it seems that I have too many rivals.” Marty whispered in Cassandra's ears. Cassandra looks at Marty with a quizzical look on her face. She couldn’t understand what he meant. “Dale likes you.” Marty’s silver eyes met Cassandra’s brown eyes. Cassandra didn't know what to do, whether to laugh or cry. She still has to get used to Marty’s possessive streak. "I love you." These three words from Cassandra's mouth allayed Marty's troubled emotion. Marty leaned forward and his forehead and nose touched hers. “I love you too.” “Lovey dovey” said Jean, teasing Cassandra and Marty. Cassandra freed herself from Marty’s embrace, but Marty possessively held her waist. “Jean!” Cassandra glared at her friend, Jean ignored Cassandra’s glare and chuckled. “You know, if the two of you team up for a movie, it will be a box office hit.” Jean watched Cassandra and Marty interact, their good chemistry is apparent. It was time for Cassandra and Dale to fil
Immediately, Cassandra answered her phone seeing that it was Grace, her manager calling her. "Good news Cassandra!" exclaimed Grace with enthusiasm as she talked at the other end of the line. Cassandra remained silent while trying to figure out what this good news was, but nothing came to her mind. “Come to my office, immediately. I want to discuss it with you personally. ” Grace ended the call without waiting for Cassandra to say something. Before Cassandra took a shower, she sent a message to Marty that she is going to her agency. Marty left her in the condo, he had to leave for a business meeting. After getting dressed, Cassandra got a phone call from Marty. “Babe, our chauffeur wil
For years, Marty did not celebrate his birthday. His birthday reminds him of a painful experience and from then on he did not celebrate his birthday. Having Cassandra now, those painful memories of his birthday had completely been replaced by the beautiful memory with Cassandra. Marty’s silvery eyes locked with Cassandra brown eyes. They could see each other's reflection in each other’s eyes. Never did it cross Cassandra’s mind that this would be the feeling of being in love. She never felt anything like it when she was with Graham. Although Graham had shown to Casandra how he loved her, Cassandra's heart remained unmoved. Now with Marty, just by his silver eyes looking into her, Cassandra’s world seems to be exploding with color. Everything a
Marty’s heart plummeted as he heard Cassandra. He felt his whole world caved in. "I want to love you freely, Mr. Marty Jacobs,” Cassandra chuckled. Cassandra teases Marty and wants to see how he deals with it. "You cheeky little thing." Marty took her in his arms and went to the bedroom. "Let me see if you can tease me anymore." Marty's lips fell on Cassandra's lips. Cassandra dozes off after hours of intimacy. “I love you babe” Marty whispered to Cassandra after he gave her a peck on the forehead. After a week of grueling workshops, Cassandra is now ready to assume the main role. As usual, Cassandra and Marty walked into the film set with Marty’s hand wrapped unto Cassandra’s waist.

Jean and Corrine noticed a sparkling thing on Cassandra’s hand as she moved. When they looked at her hand, they saw the platinum ring with a large diamond on it. "Cassandra!" Corrine took the hand of Cassandra and looked through the ring. “Tell us!” Jean giggled as she pulled Cassandra toward the dressing room. Jean instructed the makeup artist and other crews who were in the dressing room to leave. When the crew left the dressing room, Jean and Corrine bombarded Cassandra with questions. “Did Marty propose to you?” Corrine asked with excitement. Cassandra nodded. “When did he propose to you?” Jean asked, she can’t believe it the skirt chaser has proposed to her best friend. “Last night.” Cassandra giggled. “When are you getting married?” Jean asked and then looked at the costly engagement ring. "Late December." "Really?! ” Corrine and Jean said simultaneously. Marty and Cassandra’s relationship are likened to a whirlwind romance. Corrine and Jean, wished in their hearts tha

Christine looked up, admiringly at her husband who was reading the story. As usual he switches voices to suit the character. After finishing the story the children went to kiss both Christine and Marty. “Grandpa, thank you for reading the book for us,” the 7 years old Jackson, their eldest grandson said and kissed Marty’s cheeks and then went to Christine and kissed her cheeks also and hugged both Christine and Marty telling them “I love you both to the moon and back.” That is what his mom, Cassie and father, Jared always tell him.

While Marty sobbing, Christine gasped and simultaneously opened her eyes. “Babe, you’re alive!” Marty shouted with joy. The doctor and nurses came running to them and attended to Christine immediately. Marty's tears didn’t stop welling up. “God, thank you,” he said while watching his wife.

Corrine went to the airport to pick up Jeremy. She was really pleased to see Jack and Jared. "Hey, little man, you're here to surprise your mom?" Corrine asked Jared while he ruffled his soft blond hair. "Yup," Jared answered her with a smirk. Corrine chuckled at his expression and said, "You really look and act like your dad." "Of course, he is good looking and smart like me," Jack said with a smug face. "Your son is an even better version of you. He's a lot more handsome and smarter than you." "He doesn't have that look and that brain if I wasn't his dad," Jack retorted while Corrine snorted. The next day, a limousine came to fetch Christine's best friends from the hotel. Christine was pacing back and forth in the living room while she eagerly awaited her best friends' arrival.

"No doubt she is Stella's daughter, she is the spitting image of her mother.” watching Christine attentively, her eyes soft. She and Stella were best friends. Whatever Stella had, she also had. Stella treated her like her own sister. Looking at Christine, Lorna reminisces the happy moments she had with Stella. After a couple of moments of reminiscence, she took Christine's hand and said, "My uncle had sought you out all these years. I am so pleased that you are finally here." Christine smiled feebly, she didn't know how to answer Lindsey's mother. She is trying to digest the fact that the woman who wanted to destroy her marriage was actually a family. And she's kind of baffled by the difference in attitude between Lindsey and Lorna; they're like the south and north poles. One has a trashy attitude while the other is gentle and kind. Are they really related to each other? She shudders at the thought that Lindsey is actually her cousin, that Marty meeting Lindsey is in
Señor Dela Vega squinted his eyes and gave Lindsey a side glance and said, "Are you even trying to manipulate me?" Lindsey trembled when Senor Dela Vega spoke to her in an authoritative tone. He didn't speak to her the way he did. He always doted on her and spoke to her gently. "I'm sorry, grandpa," she whispered. Senor Dela Vega ignored her and stared at Marty and said, "I want to meet your wife.". Everything Lindsey said to him was exactly the opposite of what he heard from Marty. And he was intrigued and wanted to see Christine. Senor Dela Vega stood up from the couch and refused Lindsey's assistance. He was disgusted with everything he had learned from Marty. He thought she was an innocent and pure girl, but she was quite the contrary. Marty came near Christine and whispered something in her ear. Her heartbeat began to pick up as if it's like a racing horse. She took a slow breath to calm down. Christine lowered her head as she was still nervous to meet Lindsey's grandfather.
Rather than being weakened by what Lindsey did, their relationship strengthened. Marty has proven to Christine that he has not cheated on her and her trust in him was fortified. The deed that was meant to tear them apart drew them closer together and made their marriage stronger. "Are you okay?" Marty asked her while they were heading to the fashion show. "I'm nervous, the last time I performed was the Awards Night five years ago," Christine ruefully said. Marty remembered her performance and said, "Yeah, you danced like you weren't carrying our baby." "I couldn't back out at the time because I only learned that I was pregnant two weeks before the Awards Night and can't think of a plausible reason so that they will replace me. And I can't disclose that I was pregnant," Christine explained. Marty felt culpable and said, "I'm sorry." Christine cupped his face and told him, "Babe, you have already said sorry a thousand times over. It's happened before and there's no undoing the past
"Welcome back!" Matilda joyfully welcomes Marty and Christine as they step out of the car. "Mom!" Christine exclaimed happily while she walked quickly towards her mother in law. "Christine, daughter," Matilda hugged her tightly. "How was your honeymoon," Matilda asked as they broke their embrace. "It's great, mom," she answered, her eyes bright and sparkling. Matilda chuckled and said, "I believe you, it's written all over your face." Christine blushed at her mother in law's remark. Is it really obvious that she and Marty had a great time together? She pondered as she held her blushing cheeks. Marty's lips curled up at the sight of his wife. "Mom," Marty kissed his mom's forehead and speak again, "Aren't you gonna ask your son about the honeymoon?" "No need, I could see on your face that you really enjoyed your honeymoon," Matilda answered her son, laughing. Marty burst into laughter. Christine shook her head, watching the mother and son laugh. They had a chat with Matilda i
As they were enjoying their red wine and their conversation. Christine caught sight of two familiar persons entering the bar. Her eyes went wide as she saw the two familiar figures coming their way. She was sure that they hadn't seen her. She couldn't contain the excitement of seeing them. "Graham, Karen," she excitedly called while waving her hands. Marty was startled by the names she called. Graham and Karen were equally surprised to see Christine. They never thought of her being here. Graham wanted to ignore her, however, it was already too late for him to ignore her since she was already approaching them followed by Marty. "How are you? Such a small world, I wasn't expecting to see you here, but I'm glad to see you both," Christine said just to ward off the awkwardness. She wanted these feelings to be gone because she missed them. Karen hugs Christine and giggles, "It's such a small world, great to see you again." "I guess there are no more tables available, let's go back to
"Are you tired?" Marty asked her while they were seated in the backseat of the car. "I'm dead tired," she answered and leaned her head on his shoulder. Marty sat her in his lap and said, "Take a nap, I'll wake you when we get to the airport." They had a large number of wedding guests, with whom they should at least have a photograph. After dinner, they went from table after table to have a photo with the guests. They were careful not to miss any table because they did not want to offend any of their guests. And that made Christine exhausted, walking around with her stilettos. Plus the dancing and other stuff they did at the banquet. Forty-five minutes later, they arrived at the airport and the car came to a stop within meters of Marty's private jet. Marty woke her up and he held his breath, seeing her thick long lashes flutter as she slowly opened her eyes. His wife is so beautiful, even as she tries to open her eyes. "Hi," said Christine with a blushing face when she opened
