Love Within The Shine CHAPTER 15
The young man walked quietly while Estella frowned, and then followed the young man with her eyes; he placed the tray he was carrying on the side table. Will he eat in the room? I don't know what's going through this man's mind. Estella talked to herself because the young man's behavior was strange and off-putting. Lucius smiled and said, "How about breakfast in bed?" "Huh?" She answered while not being able to look directly at the young man. He sat on the edge of the bed, facing her, and offered her a plate of food. "I thought you might be hungry, so I brought you something to eat." He placed the plate of food on the bed next to her. Is the food he brought for her? She had warned the young man not to be too nice to her because she was about to fall for it, and that was what she feared would happen. Last night, he also prepared a meal for her. And now here he is, again. She's not sure what to think or how to feel, but one thing is for sure: she can't keep ignoring him. "Why did y

Why is the young man acting this way toward her? Is he chastising her? Maybe it's because it's enjoyable to watch her go insane and then leave when he knows she's falling. She stopped thinking when she felt him land on the bed, and she knew the young man was behind her. But she stopped even more when she heard the sound of the blower, and she felt a tickle on her neck as he applied the blower to her hair. She wanted to take the blower from the young man and tell him to stop, but she couldn't open her mouth or move her body. "Lucius?" Estella called the young man's name. "Hmm?" It's a sweet voice. Estella sips milk before continuing to speak. "I've told you I don't want you to be good to me, right?" "Yes, but did I really say yes?" The response battered her chest. "But, if you're just punishing me, may the punishment be different? Don't play with my feelings, don't play my heart; you can come up with a lot of ways to punish me. Just please, don't-" "Just like?" He asked as the

"Lucius, I told you to manage our company, not be an actor, and now what? Look what's happened; all you've worked for has just gone in a flash." "Mom, why did you invite me here? Is there an important event?" he asked his mother, ignoring what his father was saying to him, which he had no intention of listening to. "Lucius. It's time for you to take responsibility in our company.” His father said sternly. "You must understand that you can't just do whatever you want without considering our business. Your mother and I have invested a lot of time and money into this company, and you need to show respect for that. You need to make sure to take the necessary steps to ensure that our investments are protected and that the company is run properly.” “No, I don’t want to be involved in your company.” “Lucius, son, why won't you listen to your daddy? We just had dinner together.” Before, Lucius listened to what his dad was saying; now the situation is very different because, when he looke

It felt like he was a kid again. He slowly took a spoonful of the dessert, and it was sweet and creamy - just like his mother's love. He couldn't help but smile as he tasted it. He looked at the Leche flan in the Llanera molder and he suddenly thought of Estella; maybe she likes Leche flan. He took it to give it to Estella. "Can I take two?" He'll ask his mother. "Of course, son!" says his Mom. “Thank you so much, Mom. You’re the best as always.” "You must have gotten it from your daddy, who loves to flatter." When he heard what his mother said, he lost his appetite. “No mom. Actually, I am more like you since you are a responsible and loving mother to me. You're always there for me and understand what I'm going through." “That's so sweet of you to say! It really means a lot to me that you recognize my efforts as a mother. Thank you for the kind words, I'm so proud to have you as my son.” He took a deep breath, looked away from his father, and closed his eyes. He didn't want h

Lucius had left the house 15 hours ago, leaving Estella alone and restless. She was already concerned about the young man because she hadn't seen him since the morning and didn't know what time it was. He still hadn't returned. It's been gone all day, and she can't sleep while she waits. And while she waited here, frustration gradually ate away at her heart. She was worried every time she didn't see the young man for the entire afternoon because she suspected he was up to something she wasn't aware of. She didn't completely trust Lucius. But she had no choice but to wait for him. She was beginning to feel restless and decided to take a walk to clear her head. As she walked, she tried to think of anything else besides the young man. Her brain and heart felt like they were going to explode with worry and wondering. She got up and looked out the window, but she couldn't hear any cars. She walked to the door and put her hand on the knob, but she didn't turn it. She was too afraid of what

She was drowning in every kiss that the young man gave her, so she couldn't stop herself from moaning every time he licked her lips. "Hmm.." He drew in a sharp breath, calling her name breathlessly. "Estella?" "W-what's that?" "I'm so sorry.." "Sorry for? You've been apologizing for a while now." She answered the young man, looking a bit confused. Lucius took a deep breath before speaking again. "I apologize if I kissed you without your permission or if I caused any confusion. I shouldn't be so concerned about you. But every time I see the sadness in your eyes, my heart and mind tell me that I need to protect you. I'm also sorry if you're thinking of giving yourself away just because you've done something wrong to me. I don't want you to think that, because you are a good and innocent woman who should be respected." She wanted to cry because of what the young man said. “No, you don't have to apologize. It's fine. I wanted that, so I could make it up to you. I'll just give myself

Estella woke up because someone was staring at her while she was sleeping. It was Lucius. He was staring at her while she was sleeping. When their eyes met, Estella remembered what happened last night. She had sex with Lucius for the first time. But she knew in herself that she also wanted it. She admitted that she liked his touch, kisses, and romance. She admitted that she had always wanted it, but she was too scared to admit it. “Lu-Lucius-” Estella started talking to Lucius, but he didn't finish listening because the young man pressed Estella more passionately with a kiss. Lucius let go of the kiss, and deepened it. Estella had never felt this way before – warm and tingly, like Lucius' lips had made her. She felt her heart racing and her breath quickening as Lucius kissed her more deeply and passionately. She felt her body melting into his, as if they were one. Lucius pulled away and looked into Estella's eyes, and she knew she wanted to be with him forever. She even got the youn

After that, the young man said, "Enjoy, bro." Then, he left. She approached Lucius to ask. "Who is that? Besides, what's no guest? Does that mean we are the only ones here on the beach?" "Yup, but there are a few special guests that I know you'd love to see." She was completely stunned and looked like she was going crazy thinking about which special guest the young man was talking about. I hope the special guest in her mind is true, but she doesn't want to assume it. “Lucius..” "Shh.. Let's go." She just followed the young man. Part of her brain wanted to run and leave, but she trusted Lucius so it was up to whoever they were. But then her brain's logical side said, "You don't have a two-piece swimsuit. Even though she has never been to such places, she still knows what should be worn in such a place. She's read books and seen movies about people going to the beach, and she knows what they wear. She stopped Lucius from going inside and said, "Lucius? I don't have a swimsuit, y

Love Within The Shine SPECIAL CHAPTER
Estella looked at her husband, Lucius, with a concerned expression and asked, "Are you ready to face him?" Lucius nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Yes, I'm ready." Lucius slowly turned around after putting his clothes on, and his face fell with sadness. "I must face him since he is still part of my existence. He has become part of Nicole's and my life, and I cannot forget about him," he answered Estella with a heavy heart. Estella approached her husband to adjust the collar of his clothes. "I hope you can both forgive each other and start anew." Lucius smiled. "I truly wish that to be the case. I'm desiring to be free of the heaviness I carry in my chest, as well as the anger he carries in his heart." Estella pressed her lips against Lucius's, delighting in the sensation of their mouths coming together for a few seconds before they pulled apart. Estella smiled, and Lucius replied with an affectionate expression. Both of them smile at one another with a hint of affection. T
Love Within The Shine EPILOGUE
LOVE LAST FOREVER Estella was distracted because a warm hand caressed her cheek in the middle of her deep sleep. She slowly opened her eyes to find out who that daredevil was. But when she saw Lucius' face, her lips spontaneously smiled and she felt an overwhelming sense of happiness. "Sorry, did I wake you up?" Lucius apologizes to her. "Isn't it obvious?" She asked her husband, rolling her eyes. Lucius just laughed. You are right in thinking, they are married on paper and in the eyes of God. After the revelations that day, everyone decided to have Lucius take a DNA test to find out the truth. Both Lucius and she were very happy when it was probably not really Arthur's son, because she, Estella, was the real daughter and blood relation of Arthur Hudson. They just hid the truth and only their families knew. Estella didn't change her last name, either. She stayed as Estella Velazquez and Lucius as Lucius Hudson. They don't want to mess things up. Thanks to Lucius' mother Lavinia,
Love Within The Shine CHAPTER 51
While Lucius' lips covered Estella's lips, he gently placed her on the young man's bed like a gold that was afraid of being tarnished. She was like a pearl that did not want to be tarnished and hurt. Estella felt Lucius' arms around her, she felt safe and secure, as if she was in a cocoon of warm love and affection. Lucius' hands roamed around her body and caressed her skin in a delicate and gentle way. Estella felt her heart race as Lucius' lips moved against hers. She felt herself melting into him as the kiss became deeper and more passionate. She felt as if all her worries, and concerns were melting away, replaced by a feeling of utter bliss. Lucius' kiss was like a drug that was making her feel intoxicated with pleasure. She felt as if she was in a dream, and the only thing that mattered was the two of them in that moment. "Lucius.." Estella murmured Lucius' name as their lips parted for a moment and looked at each other full of love and desire. She brushed his soft, dark hair a

"LUCIUS! Where are you taking me?! I can't see!" Estella frowned when she asked her boyfriend. They had just gotten out of the car, and he supported her because her eyes were still closed. "It's a secret for now." That was the only response from the young man. Curiosity deepened in Estella's mind when she felt the waving water on her feet, bringing coldness throughout her body. She felt the water with one foot and knew they were in the sea. "Lucius? Where are we?" She suddenly felt scared because the young man beside her disappeared. She groped for air and thought it was somewhere nearby. But no, the young man was gone. "Lucius?" She called the young man's name in a nervous voice. "Lucius? It's not a good joke!" She wanted to remove the blindfold, but it was tight. But she insisted, and when she succeeded in removing it, her eyes widened when she saw a large tarpaulin floating in the air, and going along with the gust of wind, there was a written note attached to it. 'I lov

Estella laughed bitterly. "What are you doing here?" She asked. "I don't care about you, I don't care about all of you, so can you please leave!" She turned her back on Lucius and walked away, but she hadn't even taken a single step away when Lucius carried her like a sack of rice. No matter how much she struggled to escape his arms, she still couldn't because the young man was too strong for her. "Put me down! What the hell, Lucius!" "For goodness' sake, Estella, will you just keep quiet and stop worrying everyone! You're putting everyone in danger by being so impulsive! Just think how worried your family will be if something bad happens to you!" Estella smiled, not happy but hurt, looking evilly at the young man. "Stay away from me, and I don't need your worry. You tricked me, and it's like you killed me, Lucius. In the secret you kept, we are blood-related. I'm your sister. Destiny really plays a different game." Her words were full of resentment and bitterness, laced with

"I'm very sorry, Estella.." That was all her father said. "Your love for my son is forbidden. Because you are related by blood." Lucius' mom said for the third time, her voice filled with sadness. "Now, go away. I don't want my son is carrying a heavy feelings because of you, Estella. Now that you know the truth, maybe you've wondered why I kept you away all this time." "Let's go, Estella." "You are all disgusting liars! Why did you hide this from me for all this time? I'm hurting so much. You hurt me, mom and I hate all of you!" Estella yelled, and her eyes filled with tears. "I thought I could trust you, but now I realize that I was wrong. I am so angry and disappointed in all of you. How could you do this to me? This betrayal cuts deep, and it's something that I will never forget." Tears flowed down both her cheeks, one after the other. She could feel nothing but pain in her heart. Her hands and feet trembled. It was like she was not herself. She wanted to convince herself tha

"Lu-Lucius!" Estella called the young man's name while trying to hold his hand. Now has she seen the young man again, because the young man did nothing but avoid and hide from her. She was going crazy, wondering why the young man acted this way. She wants to know why; she feels he loves her, but she can't figure out why the young man treats her like this. Estella became desperate and started to shout his name more and more. She wanted to know what had happened. Why was he pushing her away? She was willing to do anything to find out why he behaved this way, even if it meant she had to do something extreme. She couldn't bear the thought of losing him, but she was starting to realize she wouldn't get the answers she sought. He's been avoiding her for almost a week, and it hurts. She wants to talk to him and find out what's wrong, but every time she calls, he doesn't answer. She can't help but feel like he's pushing her away, and she doesn't understand why. She's been trying to be under
Love Within The Shine CHAPTER 46
But now, it's not just about you! It's about my life! It's about Estella.." His voice softened when he said the young woman's name. "I thought the only person I should hate was dad. But Mom, you too... You lied to me. I hate you." He felt like he was about to give up while thinking about Estella, as if half of his personality had died. His mommy still held him, while his daddy was still shocked, especially when he mentioned Estella's name. "What do you mean?" His daddy asked in surprise. He turned a darker look at his Father. "Estella, she is the daughter of Selia Velazquez, she is your daughter!" He shouted angrily. "And, fuck! She's the woman I love!" His Father's jaw dropped, and his mother's eyes were filled with tears. It was like cold water poured over them while his heart was broken and broken, and his mind was running through so much. He had always been a bit of a rebel, and he knew his parents would not be happy with his revelation. But he could not deny his feelings an

"Mom.. It's okay with me, even though dad has another family. I just want to feel that somehow I have a father.." She pleaded with her mother. "It's okay if you have other families, dad. Thank you, because you came to me in this situation that I did not expect." "Estella, my daughter." Her Father came to where she was and hugged her. Estella's mother could no longer stop her Father from entering the room. "I'm so sorry.. I don't know, I don't know where to find you.. I'm really sorry, my daughter.." "Just admit that you didn't look for me and didn't find out if you had a child. Her mother was angry, and she didn't hide it. "Don't act like you did everything, Arthuro. You could have at least tried to find me." Her Mother was crying, and her eyes looked at her Father with mixed emotions. It was OK with her if her Father had another family. She would accept it with all her heart, and it was open to her heart. She didn't expect them to be whole, especially if he had another family. But
