BIGLANG bumungad sa pintuan sina Harold, James at Anton bago pa muling tumugon si Brielle. Sabay na napalingon ang tatlong babae sa dako ng pintuan na kasalukuyang naghihintay sa sasabihin niya. Brielle wave his hand signaling them to come in. Agad namang sumunod sa ipinahiwatig niya ang tatlo at walang kibong umupo sa sofa.
“Ah, hinintay mo ba sila?” tanong ni Graciela.
“Opo, sila kasi ang mga trusted employees, ko!” Brielle said. “By the way, guys, this is Madam Graciela Fontaner, Ivana’s grandmother,” sabay na tumango ang tatlong lalaki.
“Sila ang sumundo sa amin kanina sa bahay Brielle,” anang lola ni Ivana.
“Opo, inutusan ko po talaga sila na dalhin kayo rito dahil iyon ang gusto ni
HININTAY ni Brielle na makalapit si Samantha. At bawat hakbang at ingay na nililikha ng stilettos nito tila musika sa pandinig nina Simon at Hendric, ngunit para kay Brielle ay isang hudyat ng malaking rebelasyon na gagawin niya.Nang makalapit na si Samantha sa kanya, ngumiti ito ng matamis. Bahagyang tumango si Brielle at inabot dito ang mikropono."I assume Miss Huo will have an important announcement too," Brielle said."Are you not going to give me a pleasant welcome dear husband?" malakas ang tugon ni Samantha, sapat para magulat ang mga nakarinig nito.“Husband?” sabay-sabay na bulungan ng mga miyembro ng board at nagtitinginan sa isa’t-isa bago muling pinukol ng nagtatanong na mga tingin silang dalawa ni Brielle.
EKSAKTONG nasa harapan na nang main entrance ng HUO GROUP sina Simon at Hendric ng matanto nilang napapalibutan na sila ng mga police. Bakas sa mukha nina Carol at Samantha ang labis na takot ng mga sandaling ito dahil batid nilang wala na silang malulusutan pa.Taking Ivana as his human shield, Simon shouted when he saw Brielle had come down and gradually approaching them, "Brielle Santillian, hindi mo naman siguro gustong makita na isasabay ko sa impyerno ang mag-lola,""No! Tell me what you want, Simon and Hendric," tiim bagang na tugon ni Brielle."Tell those police to let us leave in this place peacefully and give us the HUO GROUP," sigaw ni Hendric.Before Brielle could answer back, Ivana quickly responded.
SAGLIT siyang natulala ng marinig ang sinabi ng Doctor sa kanya. Bigla siyang napahawak sa impis pa niyang tiyan at tumingin sa mga taong nasa paligid niya. Bakas sa mukha ng mga ito ang labis na tuwa."Mommy will have another baby?" tanong agad ni, Brianna.Tumango si Denise at ngumiti sa pamangkin niya, "Yeah. Soon another baby will be added in your family,""Mommy, I'm sure it is a baby boy," masayang tugon ni Brendon at mabilis itong lumapit sa Mommy niya. Hinaplos nito ang tiyan ni Ivana.Alanganing ngumiti si Ivana at ginulo ang buhok ng panganay na anak, “Masaya ka ba na magkakaroon kayo ulit ng kapatid ni Brianna?”"Yeah, of course! We should let Daddy know about the baby," malungkot nito
NAGMAMADALING bumaba ng sasakyan ang kambal matapos ihinto ni Brent ang kotse sa parking area ng hospital.“Be careful, kids!” puna ni Ivana sa kambal.“Ako na ang bahala, ikaw ang mag-ingat sa pagbaba mo. Sumunod ka nalang sa amin,” Denise said before heading forward to follow the twins.“Ang lilikot ng dalawang bata. O paano kayo nalang ni Denise ang pumasok sa loob. Dadaan nalang kami mamayang hapon ng Mommy Shantal mo kapag tapos na ang trabaho ko sa opisina,” tugon ni Brent.“Yeah, don’t worry, Dad, kaya na namin. Pagkatapos ng monthly check-up ko pupunta na rin ako sa kwarto ni Brielle,” tugon ni Ivana bago bumaba.“Pag may kailang
BRIANNA was stunned when she saw a few teardrops dripping down from Brielle's close eyes. Suddenly, Brielle's hand tightly gripped Brendon's hand too. Agad na lumipad ang tingin ni Brendon sa mukha ng ama.Nagkatinginan sila ni Brianna ng mapansin na gumalaw ang kamay ni Brielle."Daddy!... Daddy's hand had moved a while ago," Brendon cried."Yeah, look, he had some teardrops too," Brianna loudly said while looking at her brother.Nagulat sina Denise at Ivana ng marinig ang sinabi ng kambal. Mabilis na kumalas si Ivana kay Denise. Inabutan naman siya nito ng wet tissue para mapunasan niya ang mga luhang naglandas sa pisngi niya."Dad! Daddy, did you hear us?" muling tanong ni Brianna sa nakapikit

Nagkaroon ng kaganapan sa mismong Villa Santillian at formal na inanunsyo sa publiko ang pagbabalik ni Brielle bilang bagong CEO ng HUO GROUP. Isinapubliko na rin nila ang tunay nilang relasyon ni Ivana bilang mag-asawa. Kasabay sa pag anunsyo ang pagdating ng kambal sa buhay nilang mag-asawa sa nakalipas na ilang taong nanahimik si Ivana.That day Brielle and Ivana had given back Mr. Yang's stock shares that made the old man so happy.

She drank a mouthful of wine during the event held in the hotel, where Brielle’s company hosted. Several rich guests participated in the annual thanksgiving party of his company. Ivana had planned tonight to sleep with Brielle Santillian’s and force him to marry her. She’s only eighteen years old and the heiress of her family business but she was thrown away by her relatives who took her family business. She needs Brielle’s help but marrying him is the only way to pursue all her plans.She begged her best friend Denise to help her fix her current situation and it was Denise's plan to get Brielle’s room key so she could sneak in before the party ended. She felt disgusted by her way of capturing him but she had no other choice but to do it, otherwise, she will lose the power of her own family business. Ivana still clearly remembers his Dad’s last word on his de
He wakes up feeling sudden pain in his head because of too much alcohol he took last night. His eyes were still trying to close back and wanted to sleep again but a sudden movement from his side caught his attention. He slowly removes the quilt covering his naked body. He holds his breath when a tiny and warm body curls under his armpit.Bigla siyang bumangon at umupo sa kama at sinilip ang mukha ng babaeng katabi niya. He was shocked while staring at her naked body beside him. The woman is none other than his living nightmare, IVANA HUO! He tried to re-called last night's happenings, he remembered he was drunk and went straight to his room out of so much tiredness and dizziness. A tiny scene of lovemaking flashes in his mind after he remembers what they have done.He felt mad at her, realizing that this woman might have a hidden purpose. His devil
